509 All On My Own (1/2)
”I still think it's better if I come with you,” Ying couldn't help saying for the umpteenth time in the past 2 hours.
Right now, she was at the airport with Xiu who listened to her with a small smile playing at the corner of her lips. No matter what others say, she found Ying's concern quite cute. She really felt like she was a kid whom Ying was unwilling to leave alone.
She held Ying's hand and said, ”Ying Jie, don't you have trust in this junior of yours?”
Ying turned her eyes to the 'junior' whom Xiu was referring to and squinted her eyes. Taking a deep breath, she said, ”Give me a minute.” She turned to that particular 'junior' who stood aloof and lofty at the side without any expression on her face. ”Follow me!”
”I never knew Investigator Yan was actually such a worrywart...”
Ying chose to turn a deaf ear to those remarks that were definitely meant to taunt her.
”Gigi cut the crap!” Ying didn't plan to dawdle at all. ”I'm warning you again... You better take care of her or else, you might really face my 'Grim Reaper' version!”
The 'junior' from her team, Gigi was quite amused by her threat. Last time she saw this senior of hers was when Ying took them out for a meal last weekend. And since Ying's stupid bet over the hotpot was won by Gigi, she was given a week off from work as promised. She was just reporting back to duty when Ying dragged her here to follow Xiu like a shadow.
Well, Ying put it like she was Xiu's shadow, but in truth, she was just a bodyguard. But this task wasn't the issue for her. It was just as Ying had once said, the easiest rank in their syndicate. What really surprised her was Ying's behavior.
”Investigator Yan, stop worrying. You look like a mother who is sending off her daughter to the world full of wolves for the first time. And to be very honest, it's quite frightening for me.”
Ying cleared her throat and walked back to Xiu. From all the time she spent with Xiu lately, it was inevitable that she was feeling so worried.
”Xiu, if I didn't have a prior commitment, I'd have followed you myself. But... Anyways, Gigi is very good at her job so you really have nothing to worry about at all.”
”Ying Jie, I'm not worried though.” Xiu was truly amused by this woman who was turning thirty but worried like an eighty-year-old. ”It's you and Xiao Zi who think something is gonna happen to me. I honestly don't think I have such kind of enemies looking for me.”
Ying patted her head as she said, ”Zizi and I have the most accurate intuition. So, I won't say that our worries are unfounded.”
Xiu smiled back at her and said, ”Even if it is like that, I promise you I'll take care of myself. Now, I'm gonna catch my flight. You should go.”
