Chapter 095 Zombie Shadow Guard (3)
This meal took quite a long time, but judging from the looks of it, Shen Shang should have been well fed.
After dinner, Tao Xing returned to his room and looked around the row of bedrooms on the third floor for a while. Then he led Shen Shang to the room next to his own and said, "You live in this room."
Being close to each other, lovers from several worlds must of course be together in this world. Tao Xing's purpose towards him is naturally not simple.
However, the other party has no memory, so we need to get along slowly and have mutual affection.
Shen Shang stood at the door, hesitated, and said, "I will share the room with you."
"Hmm?" Tao Xing blinked. Are you so direct?
"The subordinate must protect the master's safety."
"Oh, this one..." Tao Xing laughed secretly, "Okay then."
Back in the bedroom, the armor that had been taken off earlier was taken away for cleaning. In the huge room, Tao Xing looked at the bed and said, "If you want to share a room with me, should I ask someone to move in another bed or..."
"One is enough." said Canshang.
Tao Xing paused, looked at him in surprise, and then went to take a shower.
He was too lazy to take a bath, so he turned on the shower directly. The water sounded loudly. He wiped the water off his face and fumbled for the towel with his eyes closed.
My fingers accidentally touched the shelf, and with a "bang", the aromatherapy glass bottle fell to the ground, emitting a strong floral scent.
The bathroom door suddenly slammed open, and a figure rushed in: "Master, what's wrong?"
The door was broken too quickly. Tao Xing had just wiped the water away and had no time to get the bath towel before she turned around in the mist.
Shen Shang looked around but saw no danger, so he turned his head and looked up at the person in front of him.
Then, the zombie shadow guard knelt down with a thud and knocked his head to the ground: "I have offended the face of the heaven. I deserve to die. Please grant me death, Master."
Tao Xing: “…”
He silently took the towel and wrapped himself up: "Not really, besides, you're already dead."
He felt as if he had misunderstood.
After a pause, he added: "Stand up, I told you not to kneel."
Can Shang was stunned for a moment, then slowly stood up. Seeing that the person was covered by the towel, he relaxed a little: "Thank you for your forgiveness, Master."
Tao Xing: "I'm fine, I just knocked over a bottle, don't be nervous."
Shen Shang hurriedly picked up the aromatherapy bottle and put it away, took a step back, then stopped and looked up at the shower head.
Tao Xing said: "This is another way to take a bath. It is not dangerous."
"I understand." Can Shang retreated to the door. Maybe he didn't see clearly or what, but Tao Xing heard that he seemed to have bumped into the door.
Tao Xing turned off the water and changed into home clothes.
After coming out, he looked at the man leaning against the bed with a ruler in his arms, thought for a moment, and then went to the closet to find a new set of home clothes: "Change into them."
Shen Shang took it and went to the bathroom to change.
The light grey suit weakened his fierce aura.
Tao Xing smiled and decided to give it another try. He patted the bed and said, "Come and sleep."
Shen Shang said, "Master, please go to sleep."
"and you……"
"I will be on guard at night."
"Watch... the night?" Tao Xing asked, "Don't you need to sleep?"
"Sleep and keep watch at the same time. The master just needs to sleep, and the subordinates must protect the master. This is the duty of the shadow guard."
Tao Xing: "...How do you guard and sleep?"
Shen Shang hesitated and said, "My master has to sleep, so I can do it later."
"Okay." Tao Xing went to bed, turned off the lights, and lay down, leaving only a small light on. "I'm going to sleep."
In the dim room, the figure jumped up and disappeared.
Tao Xing stood up and looked up, just as she was about to look for him, she saw him falling back.
He turned on the light and saw that the man looked a little embarrassed: "This room... has no beams."
"Have you been sleeping on the beam in my palace?" Tao Xing asked.
"It's not always my turn. Now it's just me. I will definitely do my duty well." Cang Shang's eyes wandered for a moment, "Without the beam, I..."
Tao Xing shook his head: "You don't have to keep watch now, come and sleep." He pointed his hand on the bed, "This bed is big enough, just sleep next to me. Just sleep here, I don't ask you to do anything."
Shen Shang blushed slightly, leaned forward and said, "I dare not."
Tao Xing sighed: "I told you not to kneel."
"Yes." The shadow guard stood up and bowed his head.
"I want you to come over and sleep."
"I dare not."
"..." Tao Xing was helpless, "Then go sleep in the next room."
"I dare not."
"You don't even dare to do that?" Tao Xing blinked.
Shen Shang: "The subordinates can sleep only after the master sleeps."
Tao Xing turned off the light and lay down: "I'm going to sleep, you go to the bed next to me, this is an imperial decree."
Shen Shang was silent for a moment, then leaned forward in the dim room and said, "Yes."
Then he closed the door and went out.
In the quiet room, Tao Xing sighed: "Isn't this a bit too obedient?"
"Yes." 080 said, "Host, could it be that you were over-tamed in the last world?"
Tao Xing: “…”
080 followed the host and sighed: "He looked at you and kowtowed to admit his mistake and asked for death. I think he would never dare to have any improper thoughts about you."
Tao Xing: “…”
The next day, Tao Xing was going to work. After much thought, he decided to take Shen Shang with him. He would be away for the whole day and he was reluctant to leave him at home. Moreover, even if he didn't take him, Shen Shang would ask to follow him. After all, the shadow guard's duty is to protect his master at all times.
Today Tao Xing had someone prepare clothes of the right size for him. The black suit made him look very elegant. The driver and special assistant Xu Ming were waiting outside the villa. When they saw them coming, they opened the car door.
As soon as the door opened, the Shenshang wooden ruler was held horizontally to block Xu Ming's hand, and he got in the car first. The ruler spun around, and then stood up: "Master, please get in."
Xu Ming was stunned: "Boss Tao, this is... the bodyguard you hired?"
"Yes." Tao Xing was thinking about what kind of identity to arrange for Can Shang. This bodyguard identity is good. "Oh, he doesn't have to work in the company. I will pay him my salary myself."
After saying that, he got into the car and brought Shen Shang up along the way.
"Yes." Xu Ming looked at them suspiciously, opened the door and got in. Just as he sat down, there was a sudden "click" from the front of the car. A camera fell off, the lens was shattered, red lights were flashing, and the hanging data cable was swaying.
Xu Ming quickly pulled the thing off and turned around to say, "Boss Tao, the in-car recorder... was broken by him spinning the ruler just now."
A trace of doubt flashed across Cang Shang's red eyes, and he immediately said, "This subordinate deserves to die..."
"It's okay." Tao Xing interrupted him and patted his hands. "Just change it and pay it from my account."
"Yes." Xu Ming nodded, and looked at Shen Shang with strange eyes.
Mr. Tao happened to raise his hand to answer the phone, and the fingers next to him that were released trembled slightly.
Arriving at the group, I walked past the front desk and took the special elevator behind the lobby to the president's office on the top floor. Everyone in the company knew that President Tao had hired a very good-looking bodyguard, who was cold and abstinent, and a long-haired beauty. She was holding a ruler, as if she was playing some kind of play.
After entering the office, Tao Xing was busy. Secretaries and assistants came in one after another to ask about work, and he also answered a lot of phone calls. He didn't understand most of the things, but fortunately, most of them just reported to him, and he just had to nod to show that he understood.
There was only one thing he knew about. It was about the explosion in the industrial park yesterday. A merchant had somehow got his office phone number and asked him how the rent would be calculated if he couldn't open his business. His secretary had already reported these things to him, saying that the project manager was trying to appease the merchants and that Tao Xing didn't need to be involved. However, the merchant was very emotional, so Tao Xing talked to him for a long time.
After hanging up the phone, he looked up and saw that Shen Shang was gone.
He stood up and searched for a while, then turned around and was surprised to see someone sitting on the cabinet with a ruler in his arms.
The filing cabinet was against the wall, behind the desk, half a person's height above the ceiling, and Shen Shang was sitting in the middle.
Tao Xing: "What are you...doing up there?"
Shen Shang: "The master is discussing matters, and I should not be present. I should guard in the dark. This... there is no beam, so this is the only place to sit."
Tao Xing: “…”
He threw his hands helplessly: "Come down, I allow you to appear during the meeting. This is an imperial decree."
Shen Shang paused and said, "Yes."
Then he jumped.
The door of the office was just opened. Xu Ming just stepped in when he suddenly saw a man falling from above and suddenly appearing in front of him. He swung the ruler in his hand, bringing with him a gust of sharp wind.
Xu Ming was a special assistant and did not need to knock on the door to come in, but he was startled and the documents in his hands fell to the ground.
Tao Xing asked him, "What's the matter?"
Xu Ming was startled again and picked up the document: "I'm here to tell you that there will be a meeting at 1:30 pm."
"good."
"Then I'll go out first."
Tao Xing remembered something and called him: "Follow up on the work of appeasing the merchants in the industrial park."
"Yes." Xu Ming closed the door in a panic.
Tao Xing smiled helplessly and looked at Shen Shang: "You scared me."
Shen Shang said: "This subordinate deserves to die."
"Hey." Tao Xing walked back to the desk, "Don't go to the cabinet again, sit next to me, and no matter who comes, don't hide." Then he pulled over a chair.
"I dare not."
"This is an imperial decree."
"Your subordinate... yes." Can Shang lowered his head, walked over stiffly, sat upright next to Tao Xing, looking straight ahead without tilting his neck.
"Can you relax for a moment? Aren't you tired of sitting like this?"
"I dare not."
Tao Xing: “…”
It was almost noon, and the secretary asked him if he wanted to go downstairs to eat. The company had a cafeteria, and the president had a private room. If he went down, the food would be prepared in advance. If he didn't go, it would be brought up. Tao Xing thought for a moment and said, "I won't go down. I'll bring two servings up."
Lunch was delivered quickly. As usual, Shen Shang tasted the food first. He refused to change this procedure no matter what. Tao Xing had no choice but to watch him finish tasting the food, then pulled him closer: "It's a meal for two, just you and me. Let's sit down and eat together today."
Shen Shang lowered his eyes: "I dare not."
"Imperial edict."
"……yes."
Tao Xing loosened his collar and put a small piece of cake on his plate. When the other party was about to stand up, he pressed his waist first and said, "Don't say you don't dare. I don't like this. Help me eat it."
Shen Shang: "Yes."
Then he lowered his eyebrows and bowed his head even lower than usual.
He didn't look up during the entire meal. Even when his secretary came in to collect the plates, he still sat there with his head down, stiff.
Tao Xing leaned over to take a look, and seeing a little cream at the corner of his mouth, she reached out and pinched it away.
The people around him suddenly trembled, stood up hurriedly, and knelt down between the chair and the table: "I have offended you, and I deserve to die."
Tao Xing looked at the white spot on her finger, then looked at him, and frowned helplessly: "Get up."
Shen Shang stood up stiffly.
"Sit back."
Shen Shang sat back stiffly, looked straight ahead, and did not move again.
Tao Xing just felt a headache. 080 was right. He would never dare to have any improper thoughts about her.
Then how do we talk about love?
Seeing that the meeting time was up, he sighed, tapped his fingers on the table, stood up and walked out: "Let's go, follow me to the meeting room."
Shen Shang looked at his back, stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said, "Yes."
