When Kureya found out about this, she was speechless. She never expected that her troublesome employer would actually waste his life two years later, showing that he hadn't learned his lesson at all.
Li Wei said, "It's just protecting a little girl, it shouldn't be too difficult. Besides, after the barbarian attack, she's probably very wary now, so she'll definitely cooperate with me quite a bit. All things considered, the workload isn't that big."
Kureya thought about it and realized that what Li Wei said made some sense. Kirishima Sakura was currently lacking a sense of security, and she would definitely not take any risks at this time. Therefore, the work pressure on Li Wei's side was not actually that great.
........................
Early the next morning, Li Wei had already packed his bags and left the small garden.
The martial artist possessed exceptional mobility, and it didn't take Li Wei long to reach the island, where he met the employer he had been protecting during this time at the dock.
Li Wei has photos of Soufflé and Kirishima Sakura in his hand, which were given to him by Kureya, who told him not to mistake one of them for another.
Wearing a mask and tall stature, Li Wei was quite conspicuous. Moreover, he was dressed in the undergarments of a martial artist, a unique outfit that made him stand out wherever he went.
After all, martial arts practitioners have a transcendent status. Out of more than a billion people, there are only tens of thousands of martial arts practitioners on the surface. Therefore, to ordinary people, martial arts practitioners are no different from celebrities.
When Kirishima Sakura saw Li Wei, she quickly stood on tiptoe and waved. Although Li Wei wasn't wearing that glittering golden armor, she remembered his mask very well, so she recognized him from a distance.
"Hey! Over here!" Kirishima Sakura waved her hands, her voice full of joy.
Li Wei saw Kirishima Sakura and Soufflé, put away the photo in his hand, quickened his pace, and soon arrived in front of the two.
Kirishima Sakura is a linguistic genius. The words she spoke to Li Wei just now were pure Japanese Mandarin. What's most commendable is that her Mandarin didn't have any of the typical Japanese accent; it didn't have a hint of "Japanese flavor" at all.
Li Wei said, "There's no need to speak Mandarin specifically; I also know Japanese."
Li Wei spoke in a very standard Kyoto accent, with a touch of elegance.
Chapter 4. Kirishima Sakura's Request
Kirishima Sakura was somewhat surprised because Levi's Japanese was excellent. Not only was his intonation good, but his voice itself also had a magnetic quality that far surpassed that of ordinary people, making it very pleasant to listen to. Just listening to his voice was like receiving a head massage.
"You speak Japanese?" Kirishima Sakura asked in surprise.
"I only know a tiny bit." Li Wei gestured to his fingertip universe again, acknowledging that he indeed only knew a "tiny bit".
Soufflé said from the side, "This is not the place to talk. The two of you are quite conspicuous here. Let's go somewhere else first. Let's go to the hotel."
Li Wei nodded and got into the car with the two of them. Soufflé sat in the driver's seat and skillfully started the car.
Sitting next to Li Wei, Kirishima Sakura said, "The Maybach is a reinforced bulletproof model. Its windows and doors can intercept anti-materiel sniper rifle fire, its chassis can withstand the impact of 100 kilograms of plastic explosives, and its run-flat tires, even tire bullets, have a special internal structure that allows the car to continue running for kilometers."
Li Wei said, "It's a very nice car."
Kirishima Sakura removed her disguise and said with a wry smile, "This is indeed a good car. It can protect me in the face of most dangers. However, when facing barbarians, ordinary protection is useless."
Li Wei said, "That's understandable. After all, this vehicle wasn't designed to defend against barbarians. Even a regular main battle tank would be easily overturned by barbarians, let alone a bulletproof car."
Kirishima Sakura said, "So, I need you."
Li Wei smiled and said, "I'm happy to serve you, but I never expected that we would meet again in this way."
Kirishima Sakura said, "You probably don't recognize me. My disguise was ruined yesterday. If you knew me, you would be able to tell who I am by sight, but you didn't."
Li Wei nodded and said, "Indeed, I didn't recognize you back then. Although I have some knowledge in music, I only focus on instrumental music and don't pay much attention to singing."
Kirishima Sakura nodded. She understood why Li Wei had been so indifferent to her yesterday—he didn't recognize her at all, which left her feeling frustrated. She didn't care whether others paid attention to her, but Li Wei's lack of recognition made her feel somewhat disappointed.
Meanwhile, a competitive spirit arose within Kirishima Sakura. She was determined to make Li Wei recognize her singing voice. This was the first time she had felt such a competitive spirit. She was completely unaware of the emotional changes within her. For the sake of a man, her emotions fluctuated greatly, which was a first for her.
The car stopped in the hotel's underground parking garage, and the three of them took the elevator into the hotel and arrived at their floor.
After getting off the elevator, Kirishima Sakura grabbed Li Wei's arm and said, "Li Wei-kun, why don't you share a room with me?"
Soufflé looked helpless. Kirishima Sakura was usually a very obedient girl, but when she had her own opinions, she wouldn't listen to anyone else.
Soufflé had originally prepared a separate room for Levi, but Kirishima Sakura insisted that Levi share a room with her. The two argued about this for a long time, and in the end, she gave in and had to agree to Kirishima Sakura's seemingly willful request.
Li Wei looked at Soufflé, who shrugged and spread her hands, saying, "I can't do anything with this child. She said she was very scared and wanted you to stay by her side, so I had no choice but to agree to her request."
Li Wei said, "Is this appropriate? I'm a man, this would be very inconvenient."
Kirishima Sakura took Li Wei's arm, but because of the height difference, it was a little difficult for her to do so.
Kirishima Sakura said, "What does it matter? No one else will know anyway. I can only sleep at night when Li Weijun is by my side."
Li Wei said, "Alright, my little miss, but there is an old saying in Chongguo that men and women should not touch each other. When we are in the same room, I will try my best to be careful with my behavior to avoid offending you."
Soufflé watched as Kirishima Sakura dragged Levi's arm back to their room, a look of envy on her face. She sighed and returned to her own room.
Li Wei followed Kirishima Sakura into the room. The first thing he did after entering was to take out a special detection instrument to check if there were any pinhole cameras in the room. Not only the detection instrument, but his senses were also scanning the structure here. Some pinhole cameras nowadays are very advanced, and even detection instruments have a hard time finding them.
Li Wei scanned the room with his senses and found no hidden cameras in Kirishima Sakura and Soufflé's room, which saved him some trouble.
“There are no hidden cameras in the room, it’s safe,” Li Wei said.
"The hotel assured us there were no cameras," Kirishima Sakura said with a smile as she sat down on the large bed.
Li Wei put away the testing equipment and said, "Just listen to the hotel's explanations; you still have to be responsible for your own privacy and security."
Li Wei opened the French windows, walked onto the balcony, looked around to check, and only returned inside after confirming that there were no problems.
Li Wei said, "In the coming days, I will do my best to ensure your safety. After all, Zevat Island is not peaceful right now, and there may still be barbarian individuals hiding in the shadows. So, in case of a crisis, I will take you and Miss Soufflé directly to a safe place. If this process offends you, please forgive me."
Kirishima Sakura smiled and said, "I can definitely understand that. After all, your life is the most important thing, right?"
Chapter 4. The True Face Behind the Mask
Li Wei began his bodyguard career. Although it was only a temporary part-time job, he took what he was doing very seriously and fulfilled his duties as a bodyguard, always keeping an eye on Kirishima Sakura's location and safety.
Kirishima Sakura didn't run around; instead, she stayed in her room practicing her singing. Although she had a great voice and her natural talent already surpassed that of other singers, her hard work was no less than that of any other singer.
Li Wei listened to Kirishima Sakura's singing practice from the sidelines. It is said that laymen watch the show, while experts see the details. Although Li Wei sings relatively little, he is quite good at singing and has a great understanding of singing knowledge. He has also applied this knowledge to his own practice, so he can be considered a semi-expert in singing.
When Kirishima Sakura finished her practice, Li Wei gently clapped and said, "Excellent innate talent is nothing special; the real skill lies in perfectly bringing out one's own talent, and in this regard, I must say, Miss Sakura, you did very well."
Kirishima Sakura wiped the sweat from her forehead. Singing practice was quite physically demanding. Because of the technique, the wear and tear on her voice was still within a tolerable range, but the physical exertion was real, which made her feel somewhat weak.
Kirishima Sakura picked up the cup on the table, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
“Li Wei, don’t you feel bored wearing a mask all the time?” Kirishima Sakura said, looking at the mask on Li Wei’s face.
The mask Li Wei wore had a very futuristic design, with only the eye structure barely visible; the rest of the face consisted of sharp, straight lines, giving it the appearance of a robot's face.
"Why are you wearing a mask?" Kirishima Sakura asked curiously.
Li Wei laughed and said, "It's just to avoid trouble. Sometimes, wearing a mask can save you a lot of tedious things."
Kirishima Sakura said, "May I see your face under the mask?"
Kirishima Sakura was also a little uneasy. People who wear masks usually have their own reasons and don't take them off easily. That's what she meant. Even if Li Wei refused her request, she wouldn't be disappointed.
Li Wei laughed and said, "If you want to see, then I'll take it off. After all, I wear a mask not because there's anything wrong with my face, and there's nothing I'm ashamed of."
Li Wei gently pressed the activation switch on the mask. The switch, located on his chin, activated the internal mechanical structure of the mask, causing the mask, which covered most of his head, to automatically detach.
After removing his mask, Li Wei looked at Kirishima Sakura and smiled.
Kirishima Sakura blushed as she looked at Li Wei. It was the first time she had ever seen such a handsome man. She had originally thought that the face under the mask would be relatively rugged, but Li Wei's sculpted facial features and perfect proportions made Kirishima Sakura realize what a truly masculine and handsome man was.
She also understood why Li Wei wore a mask; just as Li Wei said, wearing a mask would save a lot of trouble.
Li Wei placed the mask aside and said, "This mask has helped me a lot. Without it, just carrying out teaching missions would be a huge hassle. I forgot to mention, I work as the head instructor in Valslan, responsible for training various martial artists so that they can become independent."
Kirishima Sakura was somewhat flattered and surprised. She hadn't expected that she would unintentionally bring over the head martial arts instructor of Valslan to be her bodyguard. Kureya had really given her a lot of face.
In Kirishima Sakura's view, a strong person like Li Wei must be extremely busy, but even so, Li Wei still took the time to come and be her temporary bodyguard. This also proved that Little Garden valued her, and at the same time made her feel a little embarrassed, because her willfulness had actually drawn out such an important high-end combatant, which made her feel uneasy.
··· ·Requesting flowers···· ·
Kirishima Sakura looked at Li Wei and said cautiously, "Because of my willfulness, I asked you to come and be my bodyguard. Won't that interfere with our business?"
Li Wei paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I came here because I didn't have much to do these past few days. The school festival is coming up in a few days, so the training intensity here isn't too high. Even without me, the students are able to get their tasks done. Besides, your safety is also very important. I can't let something happen to you on Zevat Island."
"Huh?!" Kirishima Sakura was a little surprised. She didn't expect Li Wei to care about her safety, which made her mind go a little slow.
... .....
Li Wei didn't explain anything, but simply took out a small box from the armored grid on his arm and said, "I sing occasionally, so I made some throat lozenges according to a secret recipe. They're quite effective at protecting your voice. You can try them. I saw that you were very serious when you practiced, but your high-note practice is a bit damaging to your voice. Remember to moisten your throat before doing these exercises in the future."
Kirishima Sakura took the small box handed to her by Li Wei. As soon as she opened it, an indescribable cool fragrance wafted out, giving her a refreshing feeling just by smelling it.
The throat lozenges in the box were crystal clear, looking like jewels.
Kirishima Sakura was surprised; throat lozenges could look like that. To protect her throat, she had tried all sorts of methods, but overall, they were not ideal.
Kirishima Sakura picked up a throat lozenge and gently put it in her mouth. The cool sensation melted in her mouth, and the sweet taste was like a peach. She felt her salivary glands start to secrete saliva, and at the same time, her throat seemed to be coated with a protective layer. Her throat, which was originally a little dry, was now back to normal.
"How amazing!" Kirishima Sakura exclaimed in surprise.
Chapter 4. Want to learn? I'll teach you.
"It feels so strange, like there's a protective film in my throat, but it doesn't affect my voice at all. This is the first time I've ever seen a throat lozenge like this." Kirishima Sakura gently touched her throat, feeling a comfortable sensation. No other throat lozenges have this effect.
"I made this myself, adding some special herbs. The process is similar to making rock sugar," Li Wei said.
Kirishima Sakura was surprised. After all, the fewer people who possess any knowledge, the greater its value. This special throat lozenge might not mean much to ordinary people, but it was of great value to those who made a living by using their voices.
However, Kirishima Sakura restrained her curiosity well and did not ask Li Wei how the throat lozenges were made. After all, such a secret recipe was definitely not to be revealed to outsiders, and asking such a question rashly would only make both parties feel awkward.
Li Wei laughed and said, "You're probably wondering how these throat lozenges are made."
"Huh?" Kirishima Sakura felt like she had been seen through, but she didn't dislike the feeling.
Li Wei laughed and said, "Making these throat lozenges is actually quite simple. If you want to learn, I can teach you. After all, this is just candy to me, but to you, it's a useful tool."
"Is this alright? This is your secret recipe. Aren't you afraid I'll use it for personal gain?" Kirishima Sakura said.
