I really don't want to date a girl addicted to the internet!

472. Ye Shuang has a strong bias towards Lin Xuanqi.

Ye Shuang stared at Cheng Fei's serious face for a second, then looked away and sighed.

"What's wrong, Master Ye?" the young man asked, looking at her.

"I think you've made things clear now, but you'll definitely go back to the way things were before you know it." Ye Shuang squinted, her expression showing a hint of annoyance.

"Yes, I understand. You're an upright and good girl. How I treat you doesn't conflict with what I do. Since you're a good girl, I can be even more confident in being your friend." The boy said matter-of-factly.

"You!" Ye Shuang seemed speechless with anger.

"What's wrong with me?" The boy looked at her nonchalantly.

"If you weren't Miss's boyfriend, I would definitely find a chance to beat you black and blue, so you wouldn't go around causing trouble for others," Ye Shuang said resentfully.

"So you think I'm harming you too?" the boy asked curiously.

"I'm annoyed just looking at your face now. A frivolous person like you deserves to die!" the girl gritted her teeth.

The young man was not ashamed at all. "Master Ye, I don't understand how someone with such an upright character could be willing to be Xuanqi's maid."

"Cheng Fei, I need you to understand something." Ye Shuang suddenly looked up at him, her face grim.

"what?"

The girl took a deep breath and said, slowly and deliberately, "I am not some kind of maid!"

“Okay, let me correct you, you are a bodyguard.” The boy nodded.

"And if you have any opinions about Miss's character, just say so, and I can pass them on for you." Ye Shuang's tone was unfriendly.

“I don’t have any objections, it’s just that Xuanqi and I are the same kind of people. We are both bad people who will do anything to get things done. Compared to you, Master Ye, your temper is a bit too normal.”

Ye Shuang glared at him, "Nonsense! You're the ruthless villain who'll stop at nothing. Don't try to portray Miss like you."

"She threatens to kill people all the time, isn't that a bad person?" the boy asked in surprise.

“She never hurts innocent people. It’s just those blind fools who insist on asking for trouble. What can she do?” Ye Shuang raised her chin.

If the people around them hadn't mostly been unable to understand Chinese, they would have been shocked by their conversation.

The boy was surprised and doubtful. "Master Ye, why do you make Xuanqi sound like a victim?"

“Miss is the victim. She just made the Lin family business too successful, which attracted a lot of attention. What did she do wrong?” the girl said righteously.

"Master Ye, I think you're being a little too biased towards Xuanqi." The young man looked her up and down, then clicked his tongue in surprise.

"Cheng Fei, I will relay your words to Miss truthfully." The girl sneered.

The boy coughed dryly, "Although I think it's okay to say these things to Xuanqi's face, Master Ye, it wouldn't be good if it caused unnecessary misunderstandings if it were relayed, don't you think?"

"Scared? If you're scared, then behave yourself." Ye Shuang snorted and turned her face away from him.

After completing the boarding procedures, the two walked up the gangway onto the large cruise ship named Aurora, where they could see a large number of lifeboats hanging on both sides of the deck.

"Master Ye, there seem to be two or three thousand people on board. Are we going to be searching for a needle in a haystack?" Cheng Fei glanced at the passengers who continued to board the ship. The cruise ship, which resembled a floating city, was like a sponge, absorbing the crowds of people boarding.

Ye Shuang glanced at him, "I have Ding Sheng's room number. We can find him when Qihang arrives."

"Then I'm relieved." The boy nodded to show he understood.

"Now let's go to our own cabin." The girl turned and walked away.

The two arrived at the cabin area according to the markings on their room cards, with Ye Shuang swiping her card to open a door first.

Cheng Fei stood to the side, stunned. "Master Ye, how come your card can open my door?"

Ye Shuang looked at him with a strange expression, paused for a second, and said, "We've always shared a room."

"Huh? What do you mean? This isn't a good idea!" the boy exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't think about such nonsense." Ye Shuang glared at him irritably and pushed the door open to go inside.

Inside is a living room with a huge balcony overlooking the sea, and you can see other rooms inside, including at least two bedrooms.

"So it's a suite." The young man followed behind, seemingly relieved. "But I still didn't expect that you, Master Ye, wouldn't be staying separately from me."

"You think I didn't want to? Miss insisted on having you come, and all the rooms were already booked, so I had no choice but to add you to my room." Ye Shuang felt annoyed.

"Master Ye, thank you for your hard work. You're such a good girl." The young man said sincerely.

Ye Shuang ignored him and walked straight to the largest bedroom. Then, as if remembering something, she turned around, raised her small, white fist, and said, "I'll stay in this room. I'm warning you, if you dare to step into this room without my permission, don't blame me for being impolite."

"No, don't worry." The boy raised his hands in surrender.

The girl then slammed the door shut.

Cheng Fei looked at the closed door, shook his head and sighed. He put his hands in his pockets and wandered around the other parts of the suite. He then casually took a bottle of orange juice from the small refrigerator in the bar and drank it.

Not long after, Ye Shuang reopened the door. The girl had changed into a white tracksuit. She glanced at the boy's back as he stood on the balcony enjoying the breeze, stared at him for a second, then turned and sat down on the small sofa in the living room, picking up her comic book to read.

The cruise ship set sail at noon local time.

The suite's TV automatically played safety escape instructions, which Cheng Fei watched with great interest.

Then, their checked luggage was delivered, followed by several people knocking on the door. When Ye Shuang opened the door, Cheng Fei recognized them as Lin Xuanqi's subordinates.

The group of people handed a bag to Ye Shuang mysteriously and then left.

Ye Shuang opened the bag and took out two bright yellow plastic objects. She handed one of them to Cheng Fei, saying, "Here, this is for you."

"Holy crap, is this a real gun? How did you guys bring it up here?" The boy, seeing a real gun for the first time, was stunned.

"It's just a Taser, don't make a fuss." Ye Shuang said indifferently.

"A stun gun? Then it's fine." The boy became disappointed, carefully observing its appearance and realizing it wasn't a real firearm made of live ammunition.

"It's just a precaution, don't use it lightly, it'll be troublesome if someone sees it." Ye Shuang's worried tone seemed to be afraid that the boy would cause trouble.

"With my skills, most people aren't worthy of me using weapons." The boy put the stun gun into his pocket.

Ye Shuang let out a light laugh that wasn't without a hint of disdain, then glanced at the time. "It's about time. Let's set off now."

“Okay.” The boy’s expression turned serious.

Based on prior intelligence, the two headed to a lower cabin. Compared to their suite area, the lower, cheaper cabins had narrower corridors, barely wide enough for two people to walk side by side.

"Speaking of which, Master Ye, I have a question." Cheng Fei stared at the passengers who kept passing by.

"What?" Ye Shuang stared straight ahead expressionlessly.

"Shouldn't we ask the cruise company for help with something like this?"

"Transnational law enforcement procedures are too troublesome, and besides, we're not Interpol," Ye Shuang said, pursing her lips.

"Then why not contact Interpol?"

"It's more efficient for us to solve it ourselves."

"so."

473. The two lying in wait

Led by Ye Shuang, the two arrived at the area near the stern of the ship.

The girl stopped somewhere in the corridor, looked up to confirm the cabin number, and whispered, "This is it."

Cheng Fei followed her finger to observe the tightly closed door diagonally opposite and whispered, "What do we do next?"

"Wait." Ye Shuang crossed her arms in front of her chest, leaned against the wall, and uttered a single word softly.

"Are we just going to wait?" the boy asked, looking at her.

"What's wrong? Anyway, he'll always come out or go in eventually." Ye Shuang frowned slightly.

"I thought they would use a more advanced method." The boy smacked his lips.

"any solution?"

"For example, you could pretend to be a waiter and say you're providing room service, trick him into opening the door, and then we could all rush in together," the boy said, knocking on the air.

“That’s right, that’s settled.” Ye Shuang lowered her head and pondered for a second before immediately walking toward the target room.

"No, don't." The boy grabbed her soft arm and pulled her back.

"What is it now?" The girl stared at the boy's hand that was gripping her with hostility.

"I'm saying this on the premise that you've prepared a waitress uniform beforehand, or find a way to steal one. There's a peephole on the door, so if you go up there, someone will see right through you." Cheng Fei examined the girl's white tracksuit.

Ye Shuang paused for a moment, then shook her head and returned to her original position. "Stealing isn't easy either, let's just wait."

The boy opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing, and stood guard alongside her against the wall.

Occasionally, travelers would pass by and cast curious glances at the two strikingly good-looking individuals.

Without making a sound, the boy took a step forward, closing the distance between him and the girl to shoulder to shoulder.

Ye Shuang squinted at him, her wariness written all over her face.

"Master Ye, it would be better if we stayed closer together," the young man coughed.

"why?"

"This way, other people will think we're a couple."

"Cheng Fei, you..."

"At least try to disguise it, otherwise it looks too deliberate for two people to stand here."

The girl raised her eyebrows, about to scold him, but the boy stopped her from saying anything.

Ye Shuang lowered her head, pinched the bridge of her nose, and sighed, "It's so annoying, that's why I didn't want you to come. I don't have this problem at all when I'm alone."

“You’re right. No one would guess that someone like you could be a threat.” The boy nodded.

"Are you looking down on me?" The girl raised her chin, seemingly displeased.

"No, I was just complimenting you on how cute you are."

"You continue, I'll tell Miss everything later." Ye Shuang's expression turned cold.

"Don't say that, Master Ye." The young man's expression hardened. "Then let's talk about something else."

"Can't you just shut up? I really don't understand why you talk so much." Ye Shuang glared at him.

“Let’s pretend we’re a couple chatting here, that way it won’t seem so natural,” the boy said matter-of-factly.

"I don't want to pretend to be your girlfriend. Why don't you go back? I can stay here by myself." Ye Shuang was even more annoyed.

“No, Xuanqi asked me to protect you.” The boy said seriously.

"Do I need your protection?" Ye Shuang looked up at him, her expression even more displeased.

“Xuanqi’s intuition is always very accurate, you know that. If she says it’s needed, then it’s needed, so don’t resist.” The boy shrugged.

Ye Shuang turned her face away and took a deep breath.

"Master Ye." The boy looked at the tightly closed door diagonally opposite.

"What nonsense are you spouting now?" the girl asked impatiently.

"Actually, I'm very curious about how you and Xuanqi came to be in this relationship. Since you were friends when you were little, doesn't it feel awkward for you to call her 'Miss'?"

Ye Shuang also stared at the door diagonally opposite, and after a moment of silence, said, "That's what I've called her since I was little."

"Were you sold to the Lin family as a maid when you were little?" The young man raised an eyebrow at her.

"Cheng Fei, I'll definitely beat you up after this is over, just you wait." Ye Shuang gritted her teeth, her gaze becoming resolute.

"So what is the reason?" the boy asked nonchalantly.

Ye Shuang fell silent for the second time, then said softly, "My grandfather was Miss's maternal grandfather's bodyguard back then, and I was assigned to protect Miss since I was a child."

"So you've been good at fighting since you were little?" the boy asked in surprise.

"If I had encountered a scoundrel like you who dared to harass young ladies when I was a kid, I would have definitely beaten you to death." Ye Shuang's serious eyes seemed genuine.

"That's a good thing, Xuanqi and I don't go to the same primary school." The boy breathed a sigh of relief, looking quite serious.

Ye Shuang sneered.
