How come I was the one being targeted?

"As a guest, follow the host's wishes and don't confuse right and wrong."

Interrupting Jing Yuan's serious nonsense in a bad mood, Bai Jun took out a new cup from the cupboard and mixed a strong cocktail for Jing Yuan in the same way. However, before handing it to him, he gave a serious warning:

"Just so you know, get out of here after you finish drinking today. Don't stay in my house all the time."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. After I finish drinking, I'll go back to the Shen Ce Mansion to deal with the case."

Jing Yuan could naturally tell that what Bai Jun said was not just an angry remark, so he nodded in agreement very tactfully. After hearing that, Bai Jun handed him the prepared cocktail.

"Haha~ Delicious! Qingyan, your cocktail-mixing skills are getting better and better. You're so virtuous and reliable. I wonder which girl you'll marry in the future."

Jing Yuan raised his head and took the liquor in the glass into his mouth, then let out a satisfied sigh. He looked like a middle-aged office worker who ran to the pub after get off work to drink a glass of cold draft beer... Although that seemed to be the case.

After drinking the wine, Jing Yuan noticed that Bai Jun was absent-minded. Although he was wiping the cup in his hand, his eyes seemed to be looking towards the bedroom - was he really sleepy today?

Jing Yuan touched his chin and thought to himself.

And under the bed in the bedroom - Yukong and Tingyun, who happened to be hiding together, were huddled together with blushing faces. In the small and dark environment, they were so close that they could feel each other's breathing and hear each other's heartbeat. They looked at each other and then moved away in panic, both looking guilty.

Although Yukong's face still looked gentle and calm as usual, the green tail hidden beside her had already twisted and tangled into a knot. She couldn't tell whether she was feeling disappointed or relieved about the relationship between Tingyun and Baijun. It would be better to say that she was in a very strange state.

"Tingyun, you... are fine, very good." Yukong was very glad that the relationship between Tingyun and Bai Jun had developed to this extent. Entrusting Tingyun to Bai Jun was indeed the most reliable choice, but she also felt very disappointed, because in this way, perhaps her existence would affect the relationship between the two.

"Master Yukong, please listen to my explanation!"

As for Tingyun, her tail was tangled and twisted into a ball. Being caught by her most respected and beloved senior was embarrassing enough, but now she was so close to him! The last time she was this close to Master Yukong was when she was a little fox.

"You, you don't have to explain. Maybe I came at the wrong time."

Seeing the little fox who had grown into a graceful young lady, Yukong couldn't help but feel lost. He gently covered Tingyun's mouth and looked away with frustration. "After the general leaves, I, an outsider, will also leave. You can continue here with Bai Jun."

Tingyun gently broke free from Yukong's palm and buried her face in her soft chest, silently feeling the tenderness of this adult. No matter when, her tenderness towards him never changed. Thinking of this, Tingyun's eyes gradually changed from confusion to another emotion:

"Don't say that. Lord Yukong has never been an outsider. Let's go together! The three of us will go together!"

Tingyun took a deep breath, suppressed her shyness, raised her head, leaned close to Yukong's ear, and expressed her true feelings in a gentle but firm tone.

As she finished speaking, Yukong's lost expression gradually disappeared, and his face became redder and redder, revealing a girlish shyness.

In her beautiful purple eyes, the pupils were still trembling, stirring up a swirling vortex, stubbornly trying to draw a last bit of mercy from the eyes that were staring at her, "Tingyun, you, you, what are you talking about!"

"Lord Yukong is staying tonight too. The three of us—"

Before Tingyun finished speaking, Yukong's consciousness dissipated due to excessive shyness, and he fainted on the floor with circles under his eyes.

thump—

"Hmm? What's going on?"

Jing Yuan, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room sipping wine, heard the noise coming from the bedroom and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He vaguely felt that something was wrong as soon as he entered the house, and this time the sound was even clearer, as if something had fallen on the floor?

"what happened to you?"

"Qingyan, didn't you hear the noise in the room?"

Bai Jun called out to Jing Yuan, who was about to get up to check. Although he was already sweating profusely, he still forced himself to remain calm and pretended that he hadn't heard anything. "The wind was strong tonight. Maybe the book on the bed fell to the floor. The weather has been like this lately."

"Really? Why do I feel..." Jing Yuan stopped and looked confused.

"Why did your face turn red so quickly today? Are you drunk? No way, this is less than three cups." Bai Jun pushed the prepared cocktail onto the table in time and asked with a hint of sarcasm.

"How is that possible? We've only just started... Ha, waiter, bring the wine!"

Facts have proved that provocation is sometimes particularly effective on alcoholics. Jing Yuan became angry as soon as he heard this. He drank the cocktail in one gulp while standing, then sat back on the sofa and yelled at Bai Jun in dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Bai Jun felt relieved, so he quickly made another cocktail for Jing Yuan. The orange-red liquor slid into the glass, but this time the strength was extra strong, and some smooth-tasting ingredients were added to ensure a strong aftertaste.

"By the way, Qingyan, have you been listening to the radio recently?" Jing Yuan suddenly asked curiously before drinking.

"Yes, I do, but what are you referring to?" Bai Jun paused in wiping the bottom of the cup and shook his head in confusion.

"World Tour."

Bai Jun could vaguely sense that Jing Yuan's words were meant to imply something else. He pondered for a moment, but still shook his head, "I don't understand. You should just speak frankly."

Jing Yuan's fingers tapped the rim of the cup intermittently, and he patiently explained, "There's a famous family singer from the Universal Tour coming to Luofu for a concert. You should have heard about it, right?"

"Yeah, I've heard of it. It's the family singer called Mockingbird."

"Yes, that singer travels the universe, conveying the power of harmony to her fans and even all living things with her beautiful voice. Perhaps she is simply spreading peace, but it is undeniable that her presence inevitably represents a part of the voice of Pinocchio."

"You mean..."

Jing Yuan took a sip of his wine and continued calmly, "Unclear currents have been brewing within Luofu lately. Putting aside the situation with Chi Ming, you've undoubtedly heard about the Medicine King's secret teachings. I'm worried that some individuals will exploit this concert tour to deliberately sow discord between Luofu and Pinocchio. Even putting that aside, if the singer were killed, her worldwide fans would create overwhelming public pressure."

"It's indeed a tricky situation. What are you going to do?" Bai Jun put down the cocktail glass, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

"After my careful consideration, you will be the personal bodyguard of that robin. Just think of it as Luofu. You must protect her well, okay?" Jing Yuan gave him a thumbs up and took out a photo from his arms and pushed it on the table.

In the photo, the blue-haired girl standing in the center of the stage is about eighteen or nineteen years old. She is beautiful, graceful and gentle. Her face is as beautiful as a flower and her eyes are as lively as water. She is worthy of being a world-famous star. If possible, Bai Jun would like to describe her as beautiful as a fairy.

However, he obviously didn't care about this now. Instead, he stood up calmly and pointed at himself with a look of disbelief: "Is it true that I am a personal bodyguard?"

"Really? Why would I lie to you about this?" Jing Yuan nodded, dispelling Bai Jun's wishful thinking. "Being able to spend some time with a superstar who is famous throughout the universe, and perhaps some subtle plot developments, wouldn't that be something worth trying to get into?"

Bai Jun made a cross with his hands in front of his chest and refused loudly, "No, no, no, I don't want to get involved in this kind of thing. Besides, the Shen Ce Mansion is not without powerful guards, each with their own expertise. It would be safer to leave it to them, right?"

"There's nothing I can do about it. After all, this job was originally supposed to be given to Yan Qing, but unfortunately, it's probably going to take him a while to return to Luofu, so I can only give it to you. And there's another very important reason..."

"What?" Seeing Jing Yuan's expression becoming increasingly solemn and serious, Bai Jun decided to listen to his explanation.

Jing Yuan had anticipated this and gave a reason why Bai Jun was the only choice: "The guards we choose represent the image of Luofu to a certain extent, so we have to find someone with good looks. Isn't that how it's portrayed in the movies?"

"Are you crazy about surfing the Internet?"

"Oh, I'll compensate you with half a month of administrative leave with pay."

Seeing that reasoning didn't work, Jing Yuan had to offer benefits. However, when Bai Jun heard about paid leave, his firm attitude was obviously shaken. Jing Yuan struck while the iron was hot and increased the temptation.

"A month of paid vacation?"

"make a deal."

Bai Jun thought about it and decided that the concert tour would only last five days, and he would have a month of paid vacation afterwards. It all sounded like a godsend, and he would definitely compromise if he didn't take advantage of it.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."

Seeing that the purpose of this trip had been achieved, Jing Yuan, in a good mood, finished the rest of his cocktail, stood up, went to the clothes rack to put on his coat, and walked straight to the entrance: "I still have worldly affairs to attend to at the Shen Ce Mansion, so I will go back first. It's windy at night, so there's no need to come out to see you off."

Bai Jun stood up and insisted on seeing them off. As the two stood at the door, Jing Yuan suddenly stopped in his tracks with great interest. He looked past Bai Jun into the room and said teasingly with a faint smile, "Then I'll be leaving first. Yu Qing and Miss Ting Yun, remember to get to the Tianbo Division early tomorrow. We still have some business to attend to."

"No, no! General, please listen to my explanation..."

thump—

Suddenly, Tingyun's panicked voice was heard in Bai Jun's bedroom, followed by a muffled thud, and then the bedroom returned to silence.

"Why didn't you point it out just now? Why did you have to wait until we were leaving to tell me..." Bai Jun held his forehead and complained weakly.

“Because it will be more interesting.”

Jing Yuan's face, which had been lazy and tired all day, finally showed a hint of happiness. He stretched, and then under Bai Jun's gaze, he slowly disappeared at the end of the street.

".....So he really gave me the protection task purely to satisfy his own selfish desires, right?"

Bai Jun vaguely realized that he might have been tricked by Jing Yuan again, but there was no room for regret at this point, so he simply stopped thinking about it and turned around to close the door.

After returning to his room, what caught his eye were two foxes lying unconscious on the ground, one upright and the other upside down, and his bed board with a big hole in it - it must have been broken by Tingyun when he got up too hard just now.

"No, are you going to let me live or not..."

Under the dim light, Bai Jun let out a short and weak sigh.

ps: Back to school and some miscellaneous things, as well as the most outrageous review. This thing is almost driving me crazy. There is no way but to replace some places with more stiff words. Please forgive me.

Anyway, I was delayed for one day and will make up for it in the next two days.

Chapter 47: High-level hunters always disguise themselves as prey

In front of a cafe on Changletian Street, a girl with short white hair and holding a strange piggy bank sat on a bench in front of the shop, looking at the time on her wrist with a worried look.

Today is the day to apologize to Bai Jun. Although the meeting was agreed to be at nine o'clock in the morning, Ye Lina still chose to sit here early at eight thirty. Now it is eight fifty-five, but there is still no sign of Bai Jun. This makes Ye Lina a little worried.

"Baiqian, why hasn't Bai Jun come yet? Did he forget about the appointment?"

“Hoohoo! Hoooooooo!”

"No, that's not possible. I brought you here today to apologize to him. And didn't you promise me last night that you would never bite Bai Jun again?"

Ye Lina gently patted the baby lying in her arms, then raised her blue eyes and looked across the street anxiously.

She was wearing a light-colored dress today, the hem of which fell on her delicate calves. A pair of strappy low-heeled sandals revealed her cute toes. She was draped in a soft and light gauze to cover the rise and fall of her chest, giving her a cool yet gentle look.

It was Ye Lina who suggested that we meet in front of the cafe. The cafe was located on a side street with less traffic. In addition, its style was more like Pierpoint. Local Xianzhou people did not bother to consume here, making the cafe particularly quiet. No matter when you come here, there will be basically no noise.

Ye Lina always comes here. First, there is a very corporate atmosphere here. Second, it is quiet enough. Sitting on the bench, she can observe the people coming and going on the street at any time. Drinking a cup of coffee can relax her mood very well.

Waiting always makes people feel annoyed. Just when Ye Lina was about to take out her cell phone to remind Bai Jun, a figure suddenly appeared across the street and dispelled her thoughts.

With her outstanding eyesight, she could clearly see Bai Jun yawning and walking slowly towards her. She could even see that he was wearing a long black coat with a high-necked white shirt underneath, and he had tied his hair into a short ponytail. His temperament looked cool and rational.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

At 8:58, Bai Jun arrived in front of the cafe on time, and Ye Lina noticed the dark circles under his eyes. Although they were not very heavy, they were particularly eye-catching on his fair skin.

"Wow, you look so bad, and you have dark circles under your eyes. Didn't you get enough rest last night?"

"That's about right. Anyway, it's hard to put into words..."

Bai Jun rubbed his sore eyes and pressed his stiff neck hard. He spent a lot of energy last night to send Tingyun and Yukong away. The key point was that the bed was still broken when he got home, so he had to sleep on the floor for half the night. As a result, he found that he had a stiff neck when he woke up in the morning. It was really a double whammy.

"It seems like this trip to the cafe wasn't in vain. Let's have a cup of coffee to perk up. At least it'll make you feel better."

Looking at his haggard appearance, Ye Lina felt a sense of familiarity. In the past, she had often seen colleagues in a similar state after working overtime. Although Ye Lina, who enjoyed working overtime, could not empathize with this, she still made a suggestion.

"Great, an iced coffee. More sugar please."

"If you feel sleepy, it's better to add less sugar," Ye Lina whispered a reminder. Increased blood sugar will inhibit the secretion of appetite peptides by the hypothalamus, causing coffee to make you even sleepier.

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired. Proper sugar intake can relieve fatigue."

Bai Jun sat down in the seat next to Ye Lina and laid down on the table as if relieved. His lazy and comfortable look easily reminded Ye Lina of the various cats at home. She struggled to resist the urge to touch him and called the waiter to order two cups of coffee.

After a while, the waiter came over with two cups of coffee and a small plate of dessert. After Bai Jun stood up, his first reaction was not to get the coffee, but to taste a piece of dessert first, then nodded with satisfaction, and then turned his attention to the coffee.

"This cafe is really nice." Bai Jun drank his coffee, looked around and gave a simple evaluation.

"Yeah, yeah, I think so too. What do you think is the best thing about this store? The decoration style? Or the taste of the coffee?" Hearing Bai Jun's evaluation, Ye Lina suddenly felt a sense of joy of being recognized. She blinked her beautiful eyes, looking forward to Bai Jun's answer.

"It's the location, of course." Bai Jun calmly put down his coffee cup, a smug look in his eyes. "Seriously, give me three machine guns, and I can control the entire street."

"Indeed, this cafe is very quiet... huh? That's really your style."

Ye Lina almost sprayed the coffee in her mouth onto Bai Jun's face. She wiped the coffee from the corner of her mouth and glanced at the complacent Bai Jun with a little resentment, but then she thought again that he was really interesting.

"Just kidding, two machine guns are enough..."

Bai Jun felt something was pushing up his trouser leg. He looked down and found that it was Ye Lina's vagina that was causing trouble.

“Huff~Huff.”

This time, Zhang Zhang had no intention of biting him. Instead, it was as affectionate as a domestic puppy, constantly nudging Bai Jun's calf with its head, seemingly wanting Bai Jun to pick it up.

Bai Jun's first reaction was a bit of fear, which was understandable. After all, a bite from a small thing is painful, and he didn't want to repeat the violent bite experience from last time. But after hesitating for a moment, Bai Jun finally chose to pick it up and said, "Let's make it clear first, I don't have any gems or gold coins to feed you. Do you want to eat the cake?"

He picked up a small piece of cake with a fork and just as he handed it to Zhang Zhang's mouth, it ate it in one bite. Then Bai Jun seemed to be in a good mood and put all kinds of desserts to Zhang Zhang's mouth. Zhang Zhang accepted them all and ate them all, allowing Bai Jun to experience the joy of feeding.

Ye Lina rested her hands on the table, looking at the loving interaction between Bai Jun and Zhang Zhang with a doting look on her face, thinking, don’t they get along well?

But soon her expression changed slightly——

"Wow, that's amazing! Zhang Zhang, you can actually eat the plate!" Bai Jun seemed to have opened up a new world. He looked at Zhang Zhang with excitement, as if he was holding a Yuan-devouring beast in his arms: "Where's the iron fork? Can I eat this?"

"Huhuhu~"

"You're quite capable, huh? A wooden table is definitely no problem, right?"

"Hey, you two, stop it!"

Seeing the interaction between the two becoming increasingly outrageous, Ye Lina stood up in time to stop them. At the same time, a passing waiter inadvertently saw Bai Jun carrying the table to feed it to the waiter. He was so scared that he dropped the plate in his hand: "No, no, boss! Someone ate our table!"

"Are there any troublemakers? Grab your weapons!"
