Peerless Cupid System

"..."

"Hehe, I was just kidding!"

That was a truly vicious joke. It hurt Ling Ziqian deeply.

Ignoring Huan Yue, that dead cat, Ling Ziqian ran around the sports field, lap after lap.

As I returned to the villa in the evening to prepare dinner, Yanxian appeared at the kitchen door with a cigarette in her mouth. She suddenly said, "It's time to test the results of your training."

"What?" Ling Ziqian was preparing the meal, not understanding the meaning of Yan Xian's words.

"A research team is coming up the mountain tomorrow. You'll be in charge of their security," Yanxian said lazily, puffing out a puff of smoke.

"Did you apply for this job for me, or...?"

"Those who come out of my ranks, if they have good minds, can become strategists; if they don't, they can only be bodyguards."

"..." Ling Ziqian was frustrated again. Yan Xian was criticizing his poor brainpower.

"Don't overthink it. This is training. Their going up the mountain to find materials is training, and your protecting them is also a kind of training."

Ling Ziqian nodded, but couldn't help but complain, "This kind of exercise is a bit childish."

"So you're that good, kid. Jackals and poisonous snakes are child's play to you."

"Huh?" Ling Ziqian was quite startled. "Are there such things in the mountains around here?"

"Perhaps."

"What do you mean by 'maybe'? Does it mean I'm protecting them all by myself? How many of them are there?"

You'll find out tomorrow!

After that, no matter how Ling Ziqian asked, Yan Xian just smoked and smiled, without answering.

Ling Ziqian was depressed all night.

Nothing happened that night, and the next day began.

Huan Yue's shouting woke Ling Ziqian up.

That guy found this place quite novel and interesting, and he wasn't feeling down because he missed Cupid-chan.

After breakfast, Yan Xian took Ling Ziqian to an equipment warehouse containing medicines and firearms.

Over the past month, Yan Xian taught Ling Ziqian how to use a gun, and he quite liked it.

Now, he wanted to bring a gun, but Yanxian rolled her eyes at him.

Ling Ziqian had no choice but to put down his gun and pick up a gleaming multi-functional machete.

He wore a jacket and a tactical vest, stuffing every pocket of the vest to the brim.

Yan Xian pointed in a direction, and Ling Ziqian walked over.

Three men and two women stood at the exit of a steel wall, and Ling Ziqian walked towards them.

Ling Ziqian's attire was extremely bizarre, as if he were going to war.

The five men were dumbfounded when they saw Ling Ziqian.

Coming to their senses, the five men burst out laughing.

"Hey, are you going to war?"

"It's just going up a mountain, is it really necessary to be so fully armed?"

"You're carrying so much stuff yourself, how are you going to help us carry our things?"

In response to their snickers, Ling Ziqian said with a dark face, "I'm here to protect you, not to help you carry your luggage."

"Tsk tsk, just a bodyguard, and he's so arrogant!"

"Forget it, let's go. We're in a hurry. The bodyguard is just a figurehead. Ignore him."

Ling Ziqian followed them out of the steel city wall and left the city school.

They didn't have much in their hands, and they walked very happily, as if they were going on a picnic.

Following behind them, Ling Ziqian listened quietly to them talk and got to know them one by one.

The leader was named Chen Hua. He was handsome and had a cheerful personality. Wherever he went, he was always surrounded by people.

Chen Hua was holding hands with a girl, who appeared to be his girlfriend.

The girl's name was Tao Lan. She had a pair of almond-shaped eyes and a very lively personality.

But in Ling Ziqian's view, Tao Lan's liveliness was a sign of flirtatiousness.

There were two other boys, whom Ling Ziqian referred to as the second and third male leads.

Number two is Fang Linfeng. He is also cheerful and handsome, but he seems to be inferior to the leader, Chen Hua, in many ways.

The third male lead is a reserved, brooding man with glasses, Wu Long.

Ling Ziqian could tell that he had a crush on the second female lead, Bai Yuanyuan.

The second female lead, Bai Yuanyuan, has long, flowing hair and looks quiet and serene.

Of course, this was only on the surface. Ling Ziqian noticed that Bai Yuanyuan would glance at Chen Hua from time to time, clearly indicating that she had a crush on him.

After sorting out their names and relationships, Huan Yue couldn't help but complain, "The relationships between these people are really complicated. I think they're bound to get into trouble."

Ling Ziqian's face darkened. "You jinx! Can't you just stop talking nonsense?!"

Huan Yue chuckled and whistled, which made Ling Ziqian extremely annoyed.

After walking for a while, we needed to follow a narrow, winding path uphill.

Chen Hua led the way with his girlfriend Tao Ran, while the second male lead, Fang Linfeng, followed behind them.

The reserved and brooding Wu Long wanted to help Bai Yuanyuan, but she refused. She preferred to struggle uphill rather than let Wu Long touch her.

Wu Long was quite devastated, but as if he were used to it, he quickly rallied.

Ling Ziqian was exasperated and followed at the back of the group.

After a while, everyone climbed up a hill.

They wanted to enter a dense forest to collect materials.

Ling Ziqian called out to them, "Hey, didn't you bring any coats? When you go into a dense forest like that, it's best to wear a coat to cover your bare arms."

Ling Ziqian meant well, worried that they would be bitten by mosquitoes, which would increase his security burden.

But in the eyes of that group of people, Ling Ziqian was meddling in other people's business.

"Bodyguard, you need to get this straight. You're just a bodyguard, while we're experts, understand? Do you think we don't understand the laws of the jungle? This isn't the Amazon rainforest, what are you so nervous about!"

The second male lead, Fang Linfeng, shouted, looking at Ling Ziqian with disdain.

Ling Ziqian was extremely annoyed. It was truly a case of biting the hand that feeds you, not recognizing a kind heart!

It's summer now, and the weather is extremely hot, let alone climbing a mountain. (The text abruptly shifts to a seemingly unrelated topic: "Ju Zhaoshi Cai.")

Chen Hua and his group were all dressed lightly, wearing short-sleeved shirts that exposed their arms.

Coats and such are winter clothes.

They walked into the dense forest with utter disdain.

Entering the dense forest where there was no path, the forest was damp and sweltering, the ground was covered with rotting leaves, and many mosquitoes were flying around.

As Chen Hua and his group walked, they waved to shoo away the mosquitoes.

Not long after, Tao Ran, with her flirtatious peach blossom eyes, exclaimed in surprise, "Oh dear, how did such a big bump appear on my arm?"

"They probably got bitten by mosquitoes," Chen Hua and the others muttered helplessly.

They scratched their mosquito-bitten arms and looked at Ling Ziqian awkwardly.

They felt a sense of regret for not heeding the bodyguard's advice, and now they were suffering the consequences.

Ling Ziqian not only wore a jacket that covered his arms, but he also sprayed various mosquito repellents.

Seeing their pitiful state, he was extremely smug. "You're experts. You know better than me what to do in this situation. Hurry up and leave. Why are you looking at my bodyguard?"

Chapter 392 This is what they call training!

At this point, Ling Ziqian admitted that he was a bodyguard, while Chen Hua and his team were experts.

Chen Hua and the others didn't feel happy; instead, their cheeks burned. They were extremely embarrassed.

Ling Ziqian had reminded them before they entered the woods.

As a result, they claimed to be experts and scoffed at Ling Ziqian's reminder.

Now, they are bitten by mosquitoes and are in a very sorry state.

Ling Ziqian, who was in a bad mood before, is now in an extremely good mood.

He ignored Chen Hua and the others, whistling as he walked forward.

Huan Yue giggled and complained that Ling Ziqian was very cunning.

Chen Hua and his four companions looked at each other, asking if they had brought insect repellent or anything like that.

They knew what to do, but even the most skilled cook can't cook without rice; they had nothing, and having theories was useless.

"He smells of floral water; he must have brought mosquito repellent." Tao Hua's eyes sparkled. She scratched the bulging bump on her arm and glared resentfully at Ling Ziqian.

Chen Hua and the others naturally caught a whiff of it too, but they couldn't bring themselves to ask Ling Ziqian for mosquito repellent spray.

"Wu Long, go ask that bodyguard for mosquito repellent spray," Chen Hua said to the brooding, bespectacled man.

"I'm not going!" Wu Long immediately declined. He didn't want to make a fool of himself.

"Yuanyuan, go! Use your beauty to seduce her!" Tao Ran pushed Bai Yuanyuan forward.

"Why aren't you going?" Bai Yuanyuan said, somewhat annoyed.

“I’m already disfigured,” Tao Ran said, pointing to the large lump on his arm.

Chen Hua smiled at Bai Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, go ask him for it, he definitely won't be able to refuse you."

Since it was Chen Hua's order, Bai Yuanyuan obeyed unconditionally.
