Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 151 - You Can't Drink

Lin Yi was completely aware of the stuff going on outside his room- Mengyao letting her anger out, Li Fu arriving with dinner, and the conversation the girls had had at the dinner table… He'd heard it all.

Lin Yi stretched lazily- it was a delicate time period, and he couldn't just let them go out at night like that, even if they didn't say anything about bringing him along. He just needed to keep his distance, and it would be fine.

Lin Yi started changing his clothes at that thought- he didn't want to be attracting any attention with his student uniform, especially not Mengyao's.

He found one of the casual clothes set he'd bought from the stand, and stripped himself clean with only his underwear left. He was about to put the clothes on when the door was pushed open…

"Ah!" Yushu wasn't expecting Lin Yi to be naked in there, but she managed to clasp a hand over her mouth before most of the scream got out. She used the other hand to cover her eyes up at the same time, making sure to leave a small opening between her fingers to size Lin Yi's figure up……

Mmm… Abs, huh? Not bad…… Yushu reckoned that she'd seen Lin Yi's dick anyway, so a look at his body wasn't a big deal at all, Yushu thought as she justified herself. She couldn't just blatantly stare Lin Yi down, however, hence the hand over her eyes.

"W-Why're you in here?" Lin Yi said, taken aback as well- the door opening when he was in the middle of changing was no joke! He'd have sent a kick out if he hadn't been sure that there weren't any dangers in the villa.

He got his hands on a pair of pants hastily before covering his upper body up with it- He was a bit of a shameless guy, but even he'd get embarrassed with Yushu looking at his naked body like that.

"Obviously caz I needed to talk to you!" Yushu said, blushing. "Put some pants on, jeez, are you streaking in the house?!"

"No, I was just planning to change and follow you guys from behind when you went out." Lin Yi said, not hiding anything from the girl. She was a troublemaker, for sure, but Yushu was by no means unreasonable.

"Ah? You knew about that?" Yushu asked, so surprised she even let her hand slip away from her eyes. Although, Lin Yi had pulled his pants on already- only his upper body was naked.

Yushu had looked at that body a little more than she should have- it was still embarrassing, after all. Heh, I'll be able to look at you all I want when Yao Yao marries you… Heh… Haha…

"Heard what you two were saying earlier." Lin Yi said with a nod as he put on a discount t-shirt. He still needed more clothes, it seemed.

"Oh. Well, I don't need to explain anything then!" Yushu said as she handed a key to Lin Yi. "Here, the key to the garage in my villa, and the key to my car. Yao Yao's definitely driving later- so you need a car too! You weren't planning on following us on foot, were you?"

"Oh? Ah, thanks then." Lin Yi wasn't expecting Yushu to give him her car keys.

"I'm just worried that Yao Yao might go crazy and decide to go somewhere dangerous……" Yushu said, a little embarrassed. "You'll have to do some fighting to protect us when that happens!"

"......" Lin Yi wasn't quite sure what to say. All for the sake of entertainment, huh…… It seemed that this girl was more worried Lin Yi wouldn't have a setting to show his skills off in…

"Well, we're going. Yao Yao's still deciding which clothes she should go with, I slipped out on my own! You should go get the car first." With that, Yushu left the room.

Lin Yi was clothed at that point- he made his way to where Yushu's villa was, quite recognizable since it was just a street away from Mengyao's.

He opened the outer back gate and got into the garage- there was a yellow Volkswagen Beetle in there… Lin Yi scratched at his nose with a bitter smile. Guys drove it as well, but it was a feminine car, and the color was a bit too striking for Lin Yi's liking.

He got in the car, drove it out of the villa, and parked it on the roadside so as to not attract Mengyao's suspicion. It wouldn't matter by the time they got on the main roads- there'd be a lot more cars, and Mengyao wouldn't be focusing on the licence plate by then.

He shut the headlights off and waited for Mengyao's car quietly.

Mengyao's Audi S5 then left the villa slowly, honking once as it made a turn.

Lin Yi blinked, realizing that it was probably Yushu driving- the girl was giving him a singal.

Lin Yi turned the headlights on and started following, reassured now that Mengyao wouldn't notice him. Passengers wouldn't be looking behind the car too much, after all- only the driver was required to be aware of his or her surroundings.

Lin Yi's guess was right- it really was Yushu at the driver's seat. She'd asked to drive her after seeing the bad mood Mengyao was in, much to Mengyao's curiosity.

Yushu, on the other hand, actually hated driving, save for drifting. She felt that cars were robbed of their potential on city roads, starting and stopping, starting and stopping… It was quite uncomfortable to drive like that.

It usually took quite a bit of cuteness and 'Yao Yao Sis'' to get Mengyao to drive for her, and she only drove her Beetle every half year or so.

"Where are we going, Yao Yao?" Yushu said, letting out a breath of relief after making sure her yellow Beetle was behind them.

Li Fu would always accompany the two girls outside no matter the hour- he'd left all that to Lin Yi after his arrival, taking responsibility for only food deliveries and school transportation.

Yushu was doubtful at first, but Lin Yi had proved himself that he was above just teaching delinquents a lesson after the bank robbery.

It was why she'd called Lin Yi out- she was no idiot, after all, and understood the type of faces she and Mengyao had to have people calling them school beauties. Their backgrounds protected them in school, but how were strangers supposed to know about stuff like that? Having a Shield Bro look after them made things safer.

"Let's go to a bar? I kinda wanna drink, don't you?" Mengyao said, still in a bad mood as she looked at the night view outside the window.

"I wanna drink too." Yushu nodded excitedly. "I hadn't done that before, with Uncle Fu following us in the past. It's about time we let ourselves loose! Woooot!"

Mengyao and Yushu behaved themselves in front of Li Fu, naturally- the guy was Chu Pengzhan's closest man, and there wasn't much stopping him from telling Pengzhan about anything the girls did that crossed the line.

"You can't Shu- you're drinking juice only." Mengyao said as she pointed at the steering wheel. "Who'll drive us home if you drink too?"

Chapter 152 - Did You Really Think I Didn't Know?

"Hah?" Yushu blinked at the giggling Mengyao before realizing that she'd been had- the girl was joking, and Chu Mengyao wasn't one to be making jokes like that…

It was undeniable evidence that Mengyao's emotions were highly abnormal today.

Yushu decided to not retort, quite abnormal of her character as well. She nodded as she refrained from her hundred excuses waiting to attack Mengyao. "Alright, I'll just drink juice then!"

"That's a good girl." Mengyao said with a nod.

"Yao Yao, maybe we can both drink and get home in a taxi later? Or get Shield Bro to fetch us back?" Yushu thought that it'd be a waste to just watch Mengyao drink alone- what would be the point if they did that?

"Him? What about your yellow Beetle then, will it be parked on the roadside?" Mengyao said suddenly- Yushu couldn't tell if that was a smile on her lips or not.

"Hah?" Yushu's mouth gaped wide open as he stared at Mengyao. "Y-Yao Yao, what're you talking about… Yellow Beetle….?"

"Did you really think I didn't know?" Mengyao said with a glare. "You think I haven't figured your mind out by this point? We grew up together, alright? That thing you were rummaging for in your bag- it was your car keys right? You don't even use your purse that much! And then you snuck out, and Lin Yi's shoes were missing when we left the house! You think I'd missed all that?"

"Ugh……." Yushu uttered a little awkwardly- she didn't expect her little plan to have been discovered from the start…

"And then you fought me for the wheel- when's the last time you even drove?" Mengyao continued. "Then you honked the horn as we left the villa, and a yellow beetle started following us… your Beetle!"

"Ugh…… So you knew all along, Yao Yao?" Yushu sweated, impressed by Mengyao's agile mind, figuring out what she was planning with the series of abnormalities.

"You think I'd go to a bar this late if I hadn't noticed that asshole following us?" Mengyao said. "But don't call him over later- I hate him right now."

"Oh. Alrighty- I'll be drinking too then!" Yushu didn't care if they called Lin Yi over or not- the guy had been spotted already anyway, and there was pretty much nothing to fear with a guardian angel like him watching over them.

"I'm drinking caz I'm in a bad mood- what would you even be drinking for?" Mengyao said, a little pissed with that face Yushu was making.

"I'm drinking caz I'm in a bad mood." Yushu explained with a nod.

"......" Mengyao didn't know what to say- a best friend like this really trained one's patience at times.

Yushu found a bar called 'The Solid Cloud' and parked in front of the entrance. It looked pretty new and luxurious, newly renovated as well.

An employee walked over to open the car doors for Mengyao and Yushu. "Evening, ladies- welcome to the Solid Cloud. Do you have a reservation?"

"No." Mengyao shook her head as she locked the car.

"Please follow me, then." He said with a smile and nod before leading Mengyao and Yushu into the bar.

It was a classic european-themed bar, with a thick country feel to it without losing luxury. The owner must've spent quite the investment in his establishment.

Mengyao and Yushu rarely visited places like this, and were naturally curious. There was a dance hall on the first floor, with a bar counter and deck seats. A stage was placed in the middle of the floor, with two western women singing on it- they weren't showing too much cleavage.

It was a little past seven, a relatively early time when the performances on the stage were still rather appropriate and proper.

"Will the two of you be sitting at the counter or the deck?" The employee asked, aware that it was Mengyao and Yushu's first time here from their curious eyes. A regular would've found him or herself a spot directly- they didn't need employees guiding them at all.

"Give us…… a deck seat, someplace quiet?" Mengyao was familiar with scenes of friends drinking at the bar counter on TV, but she wasn't quite daring enough for that her first time.

"Alright. Please, follow me." The employee said as he directed them to the reception waiter before returning to his station at the entrance.

The reception waiter brought Mengyao and Yushu to a deck seat leaning to the side. He turned to the girls with a smile. "Will this do?"

"It's okay. We'll sit here then." Mengyao nodded before sitting down with Yushu.

Isolated deck seats like this were for solo, unhappier drinking, and people usually avoided them. Even solo drinkers preferred to drink at the counter.

The reception waiter sighed as he looked at the two beautiful girls- didn't these young innocents know how dangerous places like these were for them? There were plenty of wolves just waiting to lay their hands on gems like them.

These wolves prowling the bar, however, had times when they went home empty-handed. After all, there was no guarantee that the money they'd be spending on impressing and winning over their targets would actually pay off.

That was why these wolves preferred to lay their sights on young girls like Yushu and Mengyao; the two had been eyed by a few dozen pairs of eyes the moment they'd entered the bar…

Yushu and Mengyao didn't seem like their average girl, however. Some of the more active wolves asked around for info on them- many of the poorer wolves backed off immediately after learning that they came in an Audi S5. They didn't think they had much of a chance with young misses like these.

Those with a bit of a background, on the other hand, waited as well, watching and seeing if someone would talk to the girls first- they didn't want to be making a move when they didn't even know how deep the water was.

Lin Yi parked the Beetle beside Mengyao's Audi before making his way to the entrance. The employee didn't say anything much when he saw Lin Yi was alone. "Welcome, sir."

Young masters who came here alone were simply too many- he just assumed that Lin Yi was here to hunt, very much like the wolves who had their eyes on Yushu and Mengyao. He pushed the door open for Lin Yi without saying anything else.

Lin Yi looked around the bar casually, a smile on his lips when he saw where the girls were.

Mengyao was looking in his direction- that meant the operation had been exposed. He shrugged before making his way to where Mengyao and Yushu were, choosing a spot not too far away from where they were sitting.

i outsmarted all of you haha!
