Liang Jian: I have a canteen

"No way!" Xu San said with some disgust. "You may not feel ashamed, but I do!"

"Ouch~ Brother-in-law!" Xiao Hong punched Xu San. "Who said it was here?"

“Even if we go back inside, that bodyguard will still sneak a glance!” Xu San suddenly said in a very low voice.

"That woman... is so annoying!" Xiao Hong said in a very soft voice.

Xu San hugged Xiao Hong tightly. "Don't think too much. We still have to celebrate the New Year and do our work. After I leave, our station will be without support. You and Sister Hua need to be extra careful."

"Okay!" When it came to work, Xiao Hong put away her mischievousness.

"Also, sister-in-law and little girl, you must never let them know things that you shouldn't know."

"Okay!" Xiao Hong replied.

"About the little girl," Xu San wanted to say, but changed his mind at the last minute, "Let's leave it at that for now."

Xiao Hong sensed that Xu San was reluctant to talk about something, so she asked, "Is it inconvenient for you to tell me? Or should I call your sister over?"

"No need! My own affairs are still far from settled, so I can't make any pronouncements. Otherwise, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."

Xiao Hong didn't ask any more questions. She knew that if Xu San didn't tell her, she wouldn't be able to get anything out of him no matter how hard she tried.

Feeling a little cold, Xiao Hong snuggled closer to Xu San. "Brother-in-law, do you remember the first time we met?"

Xu San recalled for a moment and said, "After the New Year, before the fifteenth!"

"Back then, Sister Hua and I were still busking in the alley, and then you, brother-in-law, came," Xiao Hong recalled.

"Was it back then that you fell in love with me?"

"You're so vain!" Xiao Hong said coquettishly. "Back then you were a traitor!"

"Now he's a traitor, and his reputation seems to be getting worse and worse!" Xu San joked.

"Actually, I'm just worried... what if, and I mean just what if, you can't find your identity again?" Xiao Hong said anxiously.

"Why do you ask?"

“Xiao Linzi told me… about the higher-ups.” Xu San covered Xiao Hong’s mouth, “You have to be prepared for this when you start in this line of work.”

"But I'm just scared!"

"The fewer people who know who we are, the better."

Xiao Hong swallowed the fragrance and nestled in Xu San's arms like a kitten. "Brother-in-law, tell me, I'm clearly yours now, but why do I still feel like you're my brother-in-law? Am I a born bad woman?"

Xu San stroked his stubble, racking his brains. Although he knew what was going on, he couldn't answer Xiao Hong's question in normal language.

"Actually, bad women are pretty good too, at least they won't suffer losses. Look at your bodyguard, she's a bad woman, she usually doesn't get taken advantage of."

"She must have suffered losses too, right?"

"Have you ever suffered a loss at my hands?"

"I guess so, but I've been taken advantage of by her before!"

"Oh dear~" Hearing that Xu San had been taken advantage of, Xiao Hong seemed very happy. She raised her face with a smile and said, "Brother-in-law, tell me quickly, how did you get taken advantage of?"

"I was tricked by her several times, and only recently did I manage to recoup some of my losses."

“Hey~” Xiao Hong looked at Xu San, “You’ll have a long time to spend with her in the future, you can take it slow.”

"Her mission was simply to protect me until I reached the Japanese mainland."

"What happens next?"

"do not know!"

"By the way, brother-in-law, I remember you said you would arrange for me to go there once things are settled over there, right?"

"Did I say that?" Xu San blinked, making sure he hadn't.

Although I had this thought, I quickly dismissed it. (End of Chapter)
