509 All On My Own
"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. ๐๐ณe๐๐ฌe๐ฃ๐ปov๐l - ๐ ฝ๐ ฝnovel
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."
Ying looked at her for a long while before nodding her head. She watched Xiu's back retreating and sighed out. Finally, when Xiu disappeared from her view did she turn to leave.
For some reason, she wasn't feeling happy. It was barely two weeks that she spent around Xiu but it felt like she got too used to her presence. It was just like Darren once told her, 'She grows on you very easily. ' And Ying couldn't deny it. Xiu really had a way to grow on people without any difficulty.
While she was walking out of the airport, she saw a commotion on the side. The loud noises of fangirls were clear evidence that a celebrity must be here. However, it didn't concern her at all.
What concerned her was a pair of arms that wrapped around her shoulders from behind suddenly and a magnetic but slightly hoarse voice said, "Don't scream. If you blew my cover those fans are gonna..." He didn't complete his words and he didn't have to either.
Ying looked towards the fans who were following a figure who was wearing a hat and black glasses along with a mask. If Han Bohai hadn't been stuck so close to her, she would have also thought it was him. The only reason she wasn't slamming him on the ground was that she had also used him as a cover before. It was like returning a favor.
"Who's that?" she asked.
"My cover to escape from this commotion, " he replied easily while his hands shifted from her shoulders to her waist."It's really a headache how these fans managed to dig up my flight schedule."
Ying's eyes darkened as she pinched his arm making him yelp. She didn't care about his worries, she cared about his wantonly moving hands. As she escaped from his grasp, she looked at him. For a moment, she was stunned. He was handsome, his popularity could prove that enough. But what stunned Ying was the fact that right now, he was dressed in a pilot's uniform. And with his physique, it looked damn good on him.
Taking advantage of her trance, he wrapped an arm around her waist from the side and pulled her along saying, "People around us think you're a normal girlfriend picking up her boyfriend who came from a long flight. Don't blow the cover. Let's continue the act."
Ying had a lot of curses at the tip of her tongue but none came out when she noticed his grin.
"You're being handsy..." she pointed out.
He lowered his head to whisper, "I can't help it. The idea that you came to see me at the airport is too much for my poor heart."
"Aren't you thinking too much all on your own?" Ying was baffled by the way his brain was working again. She clearly had no idea that she'd run into him here. Was this the infamous 'trouble would follow everywhere'?
Han Bohai wasn't at all fazed by her words. Instead, his arm around her waist tightened as he said, "I'm also loving you all on my own. Why can't I think all on my own?"
Ying, "..."
