Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Conversation under the Attention

The guides are well protected in the tower. Their salary, living standards, rules and laws are all very favorable to them. The guides are the treasures of the White Tower, and this is not just talk.

He originally thought that they would not cry for anyone, because as long as he waved his hand, a hundred senior sentries would come over like dogs and use all their strength to provide her with the best things. Why would they cry?

The grief spread uncontrollably from the guide to the sentries present. They were involuntarily infected and grief surged in their hearts.

Xu Shanshan dreamed of her ex-boyfriend and the sweet time they had together before they broke up. When she woke up, he was nowhere to be found. She couldn't understand why he had abandoned her. Was there something she had done wrong?

She didn't know if anyone was around, but she felt like she was being watched, so she cried secretly, not wanting anyone to see. Suddenly, she felt a subtle touch on her arm. She looked up and saw two little bees approaching, one in front and one behind, biting two tissues. After placing them next to her hands, they stood away very quietly, perhaps worried that she would be scared, so they didn't move again.

She accepted the kindness, pinched it to wipe her nose, picked up another one to wipe her tears, looked around curiously, searched for suspicious people, and finally had to admit that the two bees in front of her might be the ones who handed her the tissue.

These were things that had not appeared in the room before. Although they lay there motionless like figurines, she had a feeling that they were alive.

When she sat up, all the sentries around her could see her facial expression clearly.

The woman looked at his spirit body with a smile on her face. Laurent clearly received her gentle gaze. His ears turned red and he could not speak.

Would she resent his proximity?

Obviously, this excited man was immersed in his own fantasy and did not notice that his younger brother beside him had taken action first.

She showed no repulsion, and the bitterness on her body faded a little. She smiled and asked, "Is that you, little one?"

Xu Shanshan learned that the sentinels had spiritual bodies. She guessed that there were cats, dogs, and even large birds of prey. She was a little scared for a moment, but she didn't expect that the first people she met were two little bees.

They behaved in a friendly and well-behaved manner, and Xu Shanshan was quite interested in them. Perhaps because of their small size or the positive image of bees in publicity, she was not afraid of them.

She held out her arm, turned her wrist so her palm was facing up, and extended her index finger, gradually approaching them, moving very carefully, hoping not to startle them.

When they were less than ten centimeters away, the stunned little bee finally moved, flying towards her hand without hesitation. The other bee waited for a long time without reacting. Xu Shanshan withdrew her hand, raised it to her eyes, and raised her arm. The bee moved its three pairs of legs to relocate at her fingertips.

"Hello, thank you."

A bright smile appeared on her face, and her soft voice was like a thunderclap on the negative third floor. Some sentries were not selected because of poor performance, unstable condition, or just bad luck. They could only squat in the isolation room, listening to the sounds coming from there and imagining the scene.

The people present were much more excited because she was very friendly, which was in stark contrast to the attitude of most guides.

Especially since the spirit looked so weak. Although the two brothers were not easy to deal with, they were at least very "approachable" in appearance. She had no feelings of disgust or rejection towards them.

Laurent finally reacted and saw that his brother had already got there first. He flapped his wings, flew up, and hovered in the air, but he didn't dare to get close. He was waiting for her consent.

Xu Shanshan saw it and thought it was not good to favor one over the other, so she put down four fingers flat, and the bee crawled from the fingertips to the back of the fingers, "Come on," and another one also flew to the back of her hand. She moved closer to observe the ring patterns and fluff on its body.

Seeing the two getting closer and closer, the others were naturally unwilling to accept this. They had considered reporting them, but not now. If the guards came, they would certainly be punished, but she would also leave, fearing they would never see each other again. So everyone watched the three interact with a simmering anger.

It has a simple and plump body and big black compound eyes. It looks very cute, but a little itchy.

Song Xiaoyu interrupted their interaction, and Xu Shanshan finally realized that there was someone in the room. It had been so quiet before that it seemed as if nothing had happened.

"Miss Guide, what happened? Why are you crying?"

He asked the question that concerned everyone present. They were of course expecting something to happen to her sentinels, one or several, who cared? They were like consumables, burning out everything on the battlefield until the final end.

Xu Shanshan thought the speaker was the owner of the bees. Hearing this, she recalled her previous dream and thought that he must be married now. She put her arms down in frustration and dropped them on the table. "Let's go," she drove the two bees away.

Although they were reluctant to leave, they left quickly.

Emotions gradually surged, and the room fell silent. The long hours passed slowly until she answered. Her voice was tearful and revealed a hint of grievance. "My boyfriend dumped me."

A huge question popped up in the minds of the entire sentry on the third floor below ground:???

What is she saying, is she serious?

Song Xiaoyu was a little skeptical at first, but then she heard the other person crying. She covered her face, but the glistening tears still flowed through her fingers, and her shoulders trembled. She was already overwhelmed with emotion. The smell of sadness could not be faked.

He tried to comfort her: "Why should I be sad? It's just a 'boyfriend'."

But what is a boyfriend? A bond?

Everyone's curiosity was completely aroused. Xu Shanshan didn't know what she was doing. She thought there were not many people around her, but soon she would regret confessing this in public.

Among those listening in, besides all the sentries on this floor, were several leaders, one of whom was her superior. He was watching the surveillance cameras the entire time to ensure her safety, as this was her first time on the job.

When he heard the foreign guide say this, his brain froze for a moment. Was this the reason why she left her original base and wandered in the danger zone?

A shock surged in his heart. Although he was not sure what kind of education she had received, now that they were in the White Tower and he was her superior, Shan Hao felt that he had an obligation to teach her what the correct relationship between a sentinel and a guide should be.

The plan was finalized, and his gaze returned to the display screen.

"But after three years of dating, he suddenly broke up with me, saying his family had arranged a blind date for him and that they were going to get engaged next month..."

She opened her mouth and took a deep breath, her neck muscles tensing. Her sister told her that it was normal to feel sad after a first relationship breakup, and there was no need to be sad about a bad man.

Because it sounded so much like love-brained, she couldn't help but defend herself, "He was my first love."

She still couldn't get over it in a short time, and relied on alcohol and entertainment to numb herself, but she still felt sad whenever she thought about it.

Another man's voice was heard on the third floor underground. Xu Shanshan shuddered and felt a chill on her back. Why was there someone else?

Laurent: "Actually, if you don't mind, I can be your boyfriend."

"Heh—" The other sentries present sneered. It was truly clear to everyone what Sima Zhao was up to. Didn't they know what he was planning? The sentries locked up in the background, with no outlet to speak out, could only listen in anger.

God knows they made countless efforts just to get the guide to look at him, not to mention his favor, which was something they couldn't even ask for. How could such a fool not know how to cherish him?

In the darkness, there was a knock on the red-haired man's wall. He opened his eyes and heard someone say, "Is this what you call 'pure love'?"

He didn't respond, so the person next to him continued, "What a backward view of love."

"Do you have any regrets? If you hadn't caused trouble the day before yesterday, you might have been one of the people walking out today."

The red-haired man then raised his eyes, frowned, and cursed, "Get lost."

This confession came unexpectedly from a strange man. Laurent didn't know that she had mistaken him for Song Xiaoyu, so he began to introduce his own advantages.

Including rank, appearance, figure, wealth, and also saying, "I am loyal to you and only you."

What a surprising thing! Her lower lip was bitten, and it was covered with a bright crystal color. She was embarrassed and wanted to run away. What had she done? They say that the first thing to do when entering a new environment is to establish a personal image. What had she done? Now, in everyone's eyes, she would become an incompetent love-brained person.

"I..." Xu Shanshan was conflicted. She wanted to ask them not to tell anyone about this.

Suddenly, a third voice popped up. It was very similar to the second man, but much more lively. He said, "Oh, my God, he snores and grinds his teeth in his sleep. Miss Guide, choose me."

"Laurence--" He received a warning from his brother, but who cared?

"Boyfriend" sounds like a more intimate word than sentinel. Of course, he wants to be her boyfriend more than her sentinel. Even when facing her brother, he will not back down.

He didn't think he was worse than others, and this might be one of his few chances. She was exposed in front of so many sentinels, and when she got out, she would have more suitors around her, not fewer. Once she had a sentinel, according to her personality, it would be much easier for her to get close to him.

If he fails to seize this hard-earned opportunity, he will regret it for the rest of his life.

In Xu Shanshan's eyes, it was all over, completely over. She didn't even have the energy to respond to them or the increasingly noisy room, where the numerous sentries were talking back and forth, tirelessly promoting themselves and slandering others.

Why are there so many people?

She looked at the clock. There was only half an hour left. Why was time passing so slowly? Could she find a hole in the ground to crawl into?

"Quiet down," Song Xiaoyu said louder, trying to stop the noise. The others didn't agree, but his next words stopped them in their tracks. "You're disturbing her."

The expression on her face became very unnatural, but then the man's voice aroused the public's anger again, "Miss Guide, can you add a contact number?"

Xu Shanshan thought he was the owner of the two little bees and was very grateful for his kindness. Without thinking too much, she agreed. "I don't have a laptop yet. Can I write down your contact number first?"

"It's okay." The man gave his number and Xu Shanshan wrote it down.

Laurent asked unwillingly, "What about me?"

She hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly agreed. She spent the last half hour transcribing the communication numbers, both transcribing and confirming them. When the timer expired and the door opened, she was about to leave.

Song Xiaoyu: "Miss Guide, can I come and play with you after I get out?"

It’s not a good idea to tell others where I live, Xu Shanshan thought so, and she didn’t agree. The officer’s military boots stepped on the ground and made a sound. He came to pick her up. His expression was unclear. Xu Shanshan lowered her head and walked towards the officer until the elevator door tightened, blocking out the light, and the two of them went upstairs.

Shan Hao looked at the notebook she was holding tightly in her hand and asked knowingly, "What is this?"

She hesitated for a moment, but didn't lie. "Their contact number."

The man stretched out his hand. Xu Shanshan was stunned for a moment. She looked at her notebook and finally handed it over. The pink shell was clamped between the black gloves and put into her coat.

"Sir..." She protested weakly, this was something she had remembered for a long time.

The man's voice was calm, emotionless, and his words sounded reasonable. "You're not quite clear about your position right now, so you're not suited to dealing with those Sentinels."

"Being too nice to them will do you no good."

He took out a gift box and handed it to her. Xu Shanshan opened the box and saw a large pattern engraved on the cover. It was the latest model of optical computer.

"Use this to contact me now. As for other people's invitations, I will return it to you after your training is completed."

The commander's words sounded reasonable, and she had just arrived. There were few guides in the tower, and she had not yet established social relationships, so she was somewhat dependent on them. Without saying much, she nodded and agreed.

The man nodded with satisfaction and sent her back to the guides' exclusive floor. When Xu Shanshan walked out of the elevator, the officer was still standing inside. "Today's mission is over. Have a good rest. Come to my office at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Yes, sir!"

The man looked at her with satisfaction and said, "Goodbye." He pressed the floor button and the elevator gradually went down.

After facial recognition, she entered the dormitory. Thinking of what she had done during the day, she rolled over and over in bed and screamed silently.
