Such impressive skills, sharp reflexes, and that friend who casually throws bombs, plus that eerie mask. And his bad temper, completely unlike a hired hand. Being with him, I feel more like the hired help, even having had to grab his belt in the box earlier.

Everything suggests the guy lying in bed is anything but ordinary.

He's not a bodyguard, definitely not... Could he be part of some evil force?

But everything he's done has been helping me. There's nothing off, except he's way too lecherous.

"Stop messing around, we have school tomorrow."

He really is still a student? But how could someone who dreams of going to school be a bad person?

Call the police? Li Sisi had the thought because being taken to an unsafe-looking hotel by a strange guy is truly terrifying,

But in the end, Li Sisi held back, more interested in hearing his explanation in person than reporting to the police.

So, the night passed just like that.

Waking up from a hangover, the dizziness is inevitable. It's 9 AM, an early wake-up indeed.

Li Sisi doesn't have work today, a perfect day for rest.

"Brother Han..."

"Mm."

"I'm awake, thanks for last night."

"It's fine, there's WiFi in the hotel, not boring."

"Go get some rest."

"Alright."

Han Shengjun indeed stayed guard in the next room the whole night, Xiaofan felt somewhat guilty.

Putting down the walkie-talkie, Xiaofan slowly walked out of the lobby. Staying a night in such a luxurious hotel must cost quite a bit.

"Oh, you're awake." Li Sisi, munching breakfast, greeted Xiaofan cheerfully once she saw him.

"Yeah, morning. How did you sleep last night?" Xiaofan poured himself a glass of water, rubbed his forehead, and slowly sat on the sofa.

"Not very well."

"No worries, those folks won't bother you much longer."

"Mm." Li Sisi said, eyeing Xiaofan with some puzzlement.

"What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and eat. After finishing, report back to Sister Fei, she's probably worried sick." Xiaofan spoke gently.

"Nothing, just suddenly finding you more agreeable."

"Of course, with me, I lack nothing, though I got tons of merits. But even if you fancy me, it's futile; you're such a big trouble, better ditch it early." Xiaofan shamelessly replied.

"Thick-skinned, you might have two layers of skin." Li Sisi said strangely.

Xiaofan paid no mind to Li Sisi's remarks, standing up intending to head to the washroom to freshen up.

"Couldn't call breakfast for me too, honestly."

Watching Xiaofan mumble as he walked into the bathroom, Li Sisi chuckled gleefully, continuing her breakfast.

Washing face, brushing teeth, it's quite standard, and of course, followed by a cold shower.

For men, multitasking brushing, washing, and showering is possible, like Xiaofan now, standing under the showerhead with cold water, humming a tune while holding the hotel's toothbrush.

After getting dressed and reaching the bathroom door, Xiaofan paused, as if seeing an illusion? Not fully awake perhaps?

Thinking so, Xiaofan stepped back into the bathroom, stared into the mirror.

The first look, not sure, second, third... Okay, when did his face revert back to Ye Xiaofan's? Where's the previous mask?

It's no joke, being discovered as Ye Xiaofan, the plan against Red Butterfly can't proceed, there might be swarm of assassins arriving at XG swiftly to take him out, no, if Red Butterfly's base is indeed here, their assassins would arrive first.

Walking out to the living area, Xiaofan looked seriously at Li Sisi, while Li Sisi encountering his gaze couldn't hold the laughter, bursting out.

Yes, it was her, no wonder her speech was off; no wonder she wasn't shocked seeing the change.

"How'd you find out?"

"Your face was scratched by glass, then last night..." Remembering his tight embrace last night, Li Sisi's face flushed again.

"Did you tell anyone?"

"Who exactly are you? Why wear a fake mask? Well, to be honest, you indeed look more agreeable like this."

"I'm asking if you told anyone."

"Nope, look at your worried face."

"Promise me, don't tell anyone about this, including Sister Fei." Xiaofan's expression was extremely serious, indicating the gravity of the matter.

"Why? Oh, I get it. You intend to use a fake identity to deceive girls, thankfully I caught on early, otherwise, even Sister Fei would be fooled by you with all that sleep-talk last night." Caught him red-handed, yes, an ordinary bodyguard dares to act bratty before Miss Li?

"No way out, to keep the secret, I'll have to kill you, don't blame me..."

"Hmph..." Seeing Xiaofan walk over, Li Sisi slightly raised her chin defiantly towards him.

"I really will kill you." Xiaofan pretended to speak fiercely.

"Don't believe you. If you wanted to kill me, why fight so hard to protect me last night?"

"Since you know I'm protecting you, listen to me seriously." Xiaofan suddenly raised his voice.

And with that shout, Li Sisi indeed became more obedient.

Seeing Li Sisi's expression changed, Xiaofan continued: "You noticed, I mean no harm to you or Sister Fei. So, I implore you not to disclose my identity issue."

"I won't tell, if you give me a reason first."

"Last night, you promised if I finished those thirty-six drinks, you'd agree to one condition." Xiaofan instantly used last night's incident as a shield.

"I-I did promise, but I meant a reasonable request. Tell me first, why the fake identity following me and Sister Fei? Any ulterior motives?"

"Following you? Miss Li, must be mistaken. You think I'd want to follow you? I intended to quietly be a bodyguard, but you insisted on hiring me from the security firm for guard duty, which led to all these complications. Miss Li, think about it, am I the one stubbornly tagging along?" Speaking of it, Xiaofan couldn't help but get irked; a clear example of the guilty self-justice here.
