In the corridor outside the hospital room, Shen Jingyu was on the phone with his cousin Gu.
"Xiao, you’re back in the city recently, and you need to team up with Pei Yufei for a mission."
Gu protested, "But he’s always glued to his wife! What do I need to go for?"
"Just watch them stick together!" Shen Jingyu's tone left no room for refusal. Gu sighed in resignation, "I got it, brother! We’ll set off tonight and arrive tomorrow morning!"
Shen Jingyu had summoned his cousin Gu to provide cover for himself, but unexpectedly, Gu only stirred the waters further. Gu and Pei Yufei were comrades in a small team; they had developed a habit of helping each other out, always pointing their guns outward when facing problems together.
That afternoon, Su Xing finally witnessed Pei Yufei's professional demeanor.
Privately, Su Xing found a moment when Pei Yufei wouldn’t be too close and vented, "Shen Jingyu! You can find me a rival in love, but you can’t assign someone to monitor me for an hour!"
"Darling, he’s here to protect you! You know what situation we’re facing right now! This is an order from above! If you don’t like it, I can have him keep a low profile while protecting you."
As Shen Jingyu spoke, he started to head back to inform Pei Yufei, but Su Xing grabbed him.
"Having someone protect me is one thing, but asking him to stay hidden is just disrespectful!" Su Xing felt uneasy about the whole arrangement.
"What am I supposed to do at night? Stare at him all night?"
Su Xing thought this situation was terrifying!
Shen Jingyu had a standard explanation ready: "At night, you’ll just be staring into my eyes!"
"When I’m around you, he won’t get too close. Pei Yufei’s abilities depend on how much I let my guard down!"
Su Xing had planned a dinner with some friends that evening, but because of Pei Yufei and the potential dangers he posed, the dinner was canceled.
Shen Jingyu was pleased as they returned to Xing Yu Mansion. The five-story building was finally ready to be unveiled.
The home that Shen Jingyu had meticulously crafted for the two of them drew continuous praise from Su Xing. "When did you get to know me so well? This decor style hits right at my heart!"
Shen Jingyu simply smiled and remained silent. The expression of love must be reflected in the details; true feelings are revealed in subtle ways.
Shen Jingyu seemed to embody this perfectly.
Su Xing was very interested in examining the decor style inside, while Shen Jingyu observed her reactions with great seriousness.
On their first day of being legally recognized as a couple, they were determined to enjoy some romantic moments together!
In Aimi Heng's master bedroom, Su Xing couldn't help but push Shen Jingyu: "Why do I always feel like someone is watching us?"
Shen Jingyu ignored her, focused solely on his actions. "Do you think your man is weak? In my territory, no one dares to disturb us! Focus, woman!"
Su Xing's voice quickly got drowned out by his vigorous movements. In her daze, she seemed to forget something: where would Pei Yufei be? How would they arrange for this person?
By late at night, Su Xing lay on the bed, her voice much weaker now. "What about that female officer? Where will she rest? Since she's your friend and teammate, it wouldn't be right to neglect her too much!"
It was rare for Shen Jingyu to be distracted by his phone. After a while, he finally spoke: "During the mission, she'll handle her own situation. Besides, she has someone looking after her! You don't need to worry!"
In the following days, Su Xing finally settled into a routine at work, while her other two partners often went missing. Pei Yufei ended up being Su Xing's lunch companion.
One afternoon, they had lunch together outside. Although Pei Yufei was the daughter of a high-ranking official, she really had no airs about her.
"You can actually get used to this ordinary home-cooked meal?" Su Xing asked.
"As long as it's not toxic, we have to eat everything! Sometimes when we're out on missions, we can't even decide if the food is clean or not," Pei Yufei replied.
"Jing Yu is the same way. I could face those harsh outdoor conditions because he taught me how!" Su Xing said.
Su Xing pursed her lips helplessly; she definitely didn't mean to remind him of those past experiences! But Pei Yufei was very thoughtful about her old friend, leaving Su Xing feeling quite helpless.
"Miss Pei, may I ask you something? If there’s no danger here, do you really want to stay with me?"
Pei Yufei pondered this question as well. In truth, she felt quite helpless too, watching Su Xing being picked up and cared for by Shen Jingyu every day. With so many phone calls checking in on her, if she said she wasn't jealous, that would be a lie!
"You’re bound to encounter some trouble! Just be careful lately!" Pei Yufei said with certainty, leaving Su Xing feeling quite exasperated.
That afternoon after they finished lunch, Su Xing suddenly received a call from a client asking her to deliver some newly designed jewelry to a specified location.
Pei Yufei immediately sensed danger. "Trouble is coming!"
Su Xing didn’t share that sentiment. She explained, "This is an old client of mine with a high status. I can't let them feel that I'm overly cautious!"
Although Pei Yufei caught a whiff of something unusual in the air, she couldn't disrespect Su Xing's judgment!
Just then, Gu finally appeared.
"Sister-in-law! Hello! I'm Gu! I'm the son of my uncle's family and also a comrade of Pei Yufei!"
Su Xing stared blankly at the handsome young soldier who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Unable to contain his curiosity, he asked, "Can you burrow underground?"
Gu was quite pleased with his sudden appearance. He explained, "I've been following you for the past few days. My brother is worried about you, and he insisted that I keep an eye on both you and Pei Yufei to make sure you don’t get into any trouble."
"However, it seems like you two are getting along quite harmoniously! But listen, Sister-in-law, you need to be cautious about this matter! If you're really going to deliver the gems to him, then we must accompany you—out in the open!"
With the imposing presence of the two of them standing there, Su Xing felt a headache coming on. How was he supposed to communicate with the customers? If they didn’t stay indoors, it felt like he was a criminal being paraded around.
"Miss Su," Gu continued, "you should take a look at how remote the place they’ve arranged for the meeting is! You might not think we’re unnecessary then!"
On the other side, Pei Yufei had already begun investigating the information from the phone call Su Xing had just received. Sure enough, there were some issues.
"Should I notify my brother? Or should I let him go with you?" Gu knew how important Brother Han was to Su Xing.
But Su Xing stopped him. "If there’s really danger, it’s better for him to wait outside for rescue! We can’t put everyone at risk! Besides, with Pei Major by my side, I feel much more secure!"
Pei Yufei shot an exasperated look at Su Xing, filled with both helplessness and disdain.
