Lin Wan Er walked up to me and unbuttoned the top two buttons on my shirt. As a result, the wound on my chest appeared before her eyes. The claw wound on my shoulder was the most serious, because it looked the most wretched of all the scars.
As her soft hands gently touched the wound, Lin Wan Er’s shoulders trembled. She looked up at me with bloodshot eyes, “What happened? Tell me…who injured you like this?”
My heart shook as I looked at her worrying face and I could not help but feel sorry as well. Shaking my head, I smilingly said, “It’s alright. Doesn’t even hurt anymore. Wan Er…don’t look at me like this, I…”
Wan Er trained her eyes on me as tears dripped down her cheeks, “What do you mean it doesn’t hurt? You idiot… Don’t think I don’t know. My dad had called me this morning and told me all about what happened last night… I’ll…I’ll go beg Wang Xin and ask him to let you go. Don’t fight with those inhuman things anymore, ok? I don’t…I don’t want you to…”
As she spoke, she choked with sobs.
My heart ached, but I supported her shoulder and looked into her eyes. Earnestly explained, “Wan Er, this is my destiny. I, Li Xiao Yao, have dedicated my whole life to justice. For a lifetime, I’ve always wanted to fight for the weak. It doesn’t matter if I am a cop or a soldier, I still want to fight for the innocent people in the world. My abilities have destined me to always stand in the frontlines. It’s destined that I can’t enjoy a peaceful life.”
Lifting my hand, I brushed away the tears on her face while my heart ached.
Lin Wan Er’s body lightly shook and threw off my hand. Taking a step back, she looked me in the eye and said, “I don’t care what your destiny is, but you must promise me. No matter what you’ll be going out to do, you must come back alive…”
I took a deep breath and nodded, “Okay, I promise you. I will always come back to you alive, regardless of where and when!”
“Okay…” Lin Wan Er sat powerlessly down on the seat in the corner. Lowering her head to wipe off the rest of her tears, she said, “Change your clothes…”
“Yes…”
……
After changing into the suit, I walked out of the dressing room with Lin Wan Er behind me.
Outside, Dong Cheng Yue stood fuming as she complained, “Great. You guys heartlessly left me outside. You two are truly loyal friends, sob sob…”
Lin Wan Er grasped Dong Cheng’s hand and comforted her, “Don’t be angry Dong Cheng…I just had something to talk about with Li Xiao Yao…”
“Don’t you mean something to do?”
Dong Cheng Yue’s mouth curved into a smirk, “Sigh… Just 7 minutes? What can I say for you, Xiao Yao? Only a short 7 minutes. Not even because taking off clothes and putting them back on would take at least 3 minutes. A mere 4 minutes… Can you really give Wan Er happiness in the future?”
My face turned green, “What 4 minutes? Why don’t I understand what you’re talking about…”
“Stop pretending!”
“…..”
Dong Cheng Yue looked me over again and softly chuckled, “But I got to say, this outfit is actually pretty good looking. Don’t move for a second…”
“Eh?”
Under my astonished gaze, Dong Cheng Yue walked next to me and reached out to hold onto my arm. Lifting up her heels, she intimately leaned onto my chest and gave me a peck on the cheek. At the same time, she raised her cellphone and snapped a picture. Looking down on her phone afterwards, she rejoiced, “Wow, I finally got the picture that I wanted the most…”
Lin Wan Er was speechless, “This fellow… so this is as far as you’ll get in life?”
Dong Cheng Yue giggled, “Wan Er, if you don’t want Xiao Yao in the future, remember to give me a call. I’ll fly over as fast as possible to take him. This man, only you are allowed to take him from me. You have to remember that…”
Lin Wan Er was at a loss for words, “Okay, I’ll do that…”
Nearby, the female clerk had a green face, “Wow, lady-killer, you are really lucky. To have two beautiful girls fighting for you…”
I looked at her and sighed, “You just don’t know if they could be vying for the chance to beat me when we get back!”
Clerk: “……”
