77: Chapter 76, Why Not Wear a Skirt?
“Oh, so your name is Fang Yi, such a simple name, how could I not remember it…” Li Xue actually pouted, looking extremely annoyed.
Fang Yi was somewhat speechless, but seeing the female guard’s ‘silly’ demeanor, he couldn’t help but laugh.
At that moment, Xia Ziqi looked at the two curiously and asked, “Fang Yi, who is this…”
“Oh, I am Li Xue, his friend, hello,” said Li Xue very familiarly.
Xia Ziqi understood, so it was a friend…
“Are you his girlfriend?” Li Xue suddenly asked.
Xia Ziqi blushed slightly, looking shy, and thought to herself that she was already a mother.
She was just about to speak when Fang Yi stepped in front of her.
Fang Yi whispered, “Guard Li, curiosity killed the cat, you know.”
Li Xue blinked her pretty eyes, looking completely confused, “Did I ask something I shouldn’t have?”
Fang Yi nodded solemnly, “Yes, you did.”
Li Xue uttered an “Oh,” nodded, and said, “Makes sense, this lady is so pretty, you two really don’t seem to match.”
Fang Yi was speechless for a while.
This female guard’s ability to make wild guesses and her imagination were too strong; it was utterly baseless.
“Ziqi, you watch the stall for a bit.
I’ll have a chat with her,” Fang Yi turned and said.
Then Fang Yi quickly pulled Li Xue aside to a more distant spot.
“There’s no need to call me Guard Li, I’m just a regular guard at the Guard Department,” Li Xue said, looking quite embarrassed.
Fang Yi sighed and said, “Alright, Miss Li…”
“Wait!” Li Xue suddenly shouted in a low voice.
Fang Yi looked at her, puzzled.
Li Xue said, “Don’t call me ‘miss.'”
Fang Yi asked, “Why not?”
Li Xue corrected, “I am a guard, not a ‘miss.'”
This ‘miss’ is not that ‘miss’!
Fang Yi nearly spat out a mouthful of blood internally.
Fang Yi prided himself on having met countless people, including several oddities, but he had never met anyone as peculiar as Li Xue.
Fang Yi had no choice but to ask, “Then how do you want me to address you?”
Li Xue said, “Call me ‘heroine’; I like to act chivalrously.” She wore a proud and contented expression.
Heroine Li,” Fang Yi’s lips twitched violently.
Li Xue still wore a face full of enjoyment, and after a while, she suddenly remembered something, smirking, “Speaking of which, you and Ren Hao are quite fated, aren’t you?”
Fang Yi was taken aback, “What do you mean?”
Li Xue explained, “This construction site belongs to one of the properties under the Ren Real Estate Group.”
Indeed, what a coincidence!
Something suddenly struck Fang Yi’s mind and he said, “Right, Guard…
Heroine Li, aren’t you supposed to be at work?
Why are you here in plain clothes?
Li Xue raised her white forefinger to her lips, making a ‘shushing’ gesture.
Then she whispered, “I’m in disguise, in disguise!
I wouldn’t tell ordinary people, but since you and I are on good terms, I’ll tell you.”
Heroine Li, this is only our second time meeting, when did our relationship get so good?
“What case are you investigating?” Since she had said so, Fang Yi went with the flow and asked another question.
Li Xue pointed towards the construction site and said, “According to my informant…
uh, no, I mean, according to my thorough investigation, there’s a murderer on site.
I’m here to catch him.”
Fang Yi looked at her shocked, “Just you?”
Li Xue said angrily, “Why can’t it just be me?
Are you looking down on me?”
Fang Yi quickly shook his head, “No no, definitely not!”
Li Xue snorted and puffed out her chest, saying, “Hmph!
With my abilities, there’s no criminal I can’t catch.” She was brimming with confidence.
No way, does this girl have a screw loose?
It’s not about catching criminals—she’d probably get beaten down just trying to catch a petty thief.
Remembering how Li Xue had helped him that night, Fang Yi ultimately couldn’t bear to watch her march to her doom.
Fang Yi said, “How about this, count me in.”
Fang Yi said, “After all, you’ve helped me once, and assisting the Guard Department in solving cases is every citizen’s duty and honor.
Seeing you stand up for justice and fight against the forces of evil, how could I just stand by and do nothing?
If I did, I wouldn’t be able to live with myself.”
Li Xue seemed to be inspired by Fang Yi’s words.
She immediately slapped him on the shoulder and said solemnly, “Good!
Your brave sacrifice for the country will not be forgotten by the state.”
A twitch formed at the corner of Fang Yi’s mouth.
Girl, I haven’t ‘sacrificed’ myself yet, but you’re talking as if I’ve already died a heroic death.
Fang Yi went back to notify Xia Ziqi, saying he’d return in half an hour.
Then he headed towards the back of the construction site with Li Xue.
The two made it to the rear side of the construction site, as Li Xue had suggested.
In her words, if they entered through the main entrance, the murderer might spot them, so she chose to scale the wall from the back for an element of surprise.
Fang Yi was instantly speechless.
You’re just a small guard; would a murderer recognize you?
Your imagination is a bit too wild, isn’t it?
But Fang Yi didn’t say this out loud, fearing he’d get ‘educated’ by the girl again.
When they got to the back, Li Xue was sneaky, looking around with the utmost caution, as if checking for anyone around.
But to Fang Yi, her shifty behavior was no different from that of a petty thief.
The fence was about 1.5 to 1.6 meters high.
Li Xue said, “I’m going up.”
Fang Yi asked, “Need any help?”
Li Xue disdainfully said, “With my skills, do I need your help?” After speaking, Li Xue took a running leap toward the fence and then…
Li Xue hit the fence, causing Fang Yi to wince in empathy, that’s one painful encounter.
It’s just a slip-up, an accident,” Li Xue explained.
“Mhm,” Fang Yi replied nonchalantly.
If you can’t do it, just say so.
Li Xue squared herself up, ready to try again…
Just then, Fang Yi walked to the wall, crouched down, and said, “Miss Bai, come on, let me help you.”
Li Xue blushed and said, “Who…
who needs your help.”
Fang Yi chuckled and said, “You might have to fight the murderer later.
You should save some energy for that so you can fight better.”
Li Xue thought about it and said, “That makes sense…
well, alright then, thank you.”
Li Xue walked over and placed her feet on Fang Yi’s shoulders.
Thankfully, she was wearing sandals, allowing a glimpse of her beautiful feet, which indulged Fang Yi’s private desires.
As Li Xue climbed up using Fang Yi’s shoulders, she said, “You…
you better not peek!”
“Alright, I won’t peek,” Fang Yi promised, thinking to himself, You’re wearing jeans; how am I supposed to peek?
“Hmph, I’ll know if you do,” Li Xue added.
“Oh, don’t worry, I definitely won’t,” Fang Yi said, his outward promise contradicting his inner thoughts.
Not looking would be stupid.
