Chapter 715: Chapter 719: Ye Xiaobei, I Must Take Care of You Now!
“Hmm, an intense relationship,” Gu Junzhu said: “The year I was notified of his death, I couldn’t accept it, I lost control of my emotions, made a mistake, was locked up in solitary confinement, for three days and three nights without eating or drinking.”
Three long days and exceedingly long nights, without food or drink, he didn’t know how he managed to survive it.
By the time he was released from confinement, no one in their squad was mentioning Duan Yanbing’s name anymore.
People like them, they were just like that.
Duan Yanbing was neither the first nor the last to make such a sacrifice. From the day they chose to devote their lives and destinies to their country, they had prepared to lay down their lives for it.
Death was not so dreadful.
As long as their deaths had value, they bore no resentments nor regrets.
However, this time, fate had been kind to him, Duan Yanbing was surprisingly not dead.
He leaned down, placing a deep kiss on Ye Xingbei’s forehead, “Xiao Bei, thank you for saving him… thank you!”
“No need to be so formal,” Ye Xingbei closed her eyes and smiled, “See, good deeds bear good fruit. I saved him with a mere lift of a finger and now he’s repaying the favor. Such a distinguished recipient of the Special Merit Medal, stubbornly insisting on being my bodyguard, I really don’t know what he’s thinking, it’s just absurd.”
“That’s also a good thing,” Gu Junzhu rubbed her head, “You’re so popular, but I don’t feel secure with just Xueno and Yu Nuo around, and you don’t want unfamiliar bodyguards. Since you’re familiar with Yanbing and not only is there no denying his skills, but he’s also a brilliant strategist, I can rest easy knowing he’s by your side.”
“Is he really going to be my bodyguard?” Ye Xingbei looked up at him, “Can you bear to let him go?”
“What’s there to hesitate about? You’re not going to mistreat him, right?” Gu Junzhu suppressed a laugh and pinched her nose, “Xiao Bei, think about it, no matter what tasks the country assigns him, he’ll have to do his best, right? Given his skills and intelligence, the country wouldn’t assign him easy tasks. He has so many talents, the country will certainly want him to shine. Do you think that’s easier than being your bodyguard?”
“With your kind and soft heart, and your good relationship with him, it’s essentially the same as being friends, right? Whether it’s food, clothing, shelter, leisure, which aspect would you skimp on for him?”
“He’s right, undercover agents returning do indeed have a lot of psychological issues. By staying with you, he can relax, and freely enjoy life, without the burden of carrying responsibility directly tied to the nation’s interests. It’s very suitable for his current state.”
“Listening to you, having a recipient of the Special Merit Medal as my bodyguard, it seems like Yanbing is taking advantage of me,” Ye Xingbei poked his chest with a finger and smirked, “I’ve found that others are deceiving their parents, but you deceive your subordinates. Are you sure Yanbing is your favorite subordinate?”
“I’m certain,” Gu Junzhu grabbed her finger and lightly bit it, “Not only was Yanbing my former subordinate, he’s also my confidant. When we fought side by side, our hearts were in sync, many times we understood each other’s intentions with only a glance. That feeling, it’s a wonderful experience to savor for a lifetime.”
“I understand, a close bond right! But…” Ye Xingbei pulled her finger away, once again poking his chest, and grinned: “Sounds like you’re talking about your lover…”
“…Xiao Bei, it seems like it’s time to teach you a lesson!” Gu Junzhu flipped her over, pressing her beneath him and got down to business.
Ye Xingbei was laughing so hard she could barely breathe, all the while pushing him off and begging for mercy: “I was wrong, I was wrong! He’s not your lover, it’s more like a Bo Ya and Zi Qi relationship, I understand, I really do…”
