Chapter 3 Bodyguard
There is only a small county town called Jinqing County at the foot of Fengqing Mountain. Most tourists choose it as a temporary resting place.
When we reached the foot of the mountain, it was already dark.
Seeing that Lu Wanqi was still sleeping on his back, Tang Shuo went straight to a small, shabby hotel and booked a room.
This cannot be said to be stingy. If we really calculate based on the ranking, Jinqing County can only be regarded as an 18th-tier city, and there are only a handful of small hotels in the county town.
Under the strange gaze of the hotel owner, Tang Shuo booked a room. After he carefully put Lu Wanqi on the bed, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Is there anything more unbearable than being ignored by a woman?
Perhaps Lu Wanqi had let down her guard and wasn't on guard against Tang Shuo at all, or perhaps she was genuinely frightened and overly tired today. But this guy was still soundly sleeping at this hour, completely disregarding her.
You have to know that you are also a man full of vigor and vitality!
If I don’t do something, I believe even the hotel owner will despise me!
Tang Shuo became furious and walked straight to the bed. He waved his fist at the sleeping Lu Wanqi, then turned and walked out of the room.
As they passed by the hotel bar, the proprietress sitting on a chair seemed to know what Tang Shuo was thinking. She gave him an ambiguous look, then pulled out a colorful box from the counter and asked with concern, "You want this? Five dollars."
“…”
Tang Shuo shook his head and walked straight out the door.
"Brother, this is genuine imported goods!"
…………
Lu Wanqi felt that she hadn't slept so comfortably in a long time. Because of the deadline for the last movie, she worked more than fifteen hours every day.
Opening her eyes, Lu Wanqi looked at the obviously unfamiliar roof in confusion.
I dreamed yesterday that I was out for a walk and was attacked by wolves, and then someone saved me...
Was I dreaming or was it really happening? How could it be so clear?
Lu Wanqi turned her head and saw Tang Shuo lying beside her. She covered her mouth and her pupils widened instantly.
Turns out it’s true!
Lu Wanqi immediately lifted the quilt. When she found that her clothes were intact and she did not feel any discomfort, she breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that the two were chatting yesterday, she felt the other person's back was very comfortable, and then fell asleep.
"Awake?" asked Tang Shuo with his eyes still closed.
"Um."
Although both of them were wearing clothes and covered with different quilts, Lu Wanqi still felt a little uncomfortable. After all, she was lying in the same bed with someone she was not very familiar with, so she immediately lifted the quilt and sat up.
When Lu Wanqi noticed the gauze wrapped around her ankle, she looked at Tang Shuo in surprise, then smiled and said, "Thank you."
Tang Shuo sat up, stretched, and said with dissatisfaction, "I made this medicine myself, it's a folk remedy. You can't get out of bed right now, but you can take it off tomorrow. By then, you'll be fine."
Yesterday he went out to find a Chinese medicine store and bought these herbs. After he came back and applied them to Lu Wanqi, he planned to get a new room to sleep in.
If there was a beautiful woman lying next to me, I wouldn't have any need to sleep tonight.
But who knew the hotel was full!
Because it was too much trouble, Tang Shuo had to go back to his room. After exercising in his room for an hour, he finally climbed into bed in a daze.
It’s certainly not that Tang Shuo doesn’t have lustful thoughts, he just doesn’t have the courage to do so.
To be more precise, he has this shadow.
Ever since he accidentally slept with a princess of the British royal family during a secret mission in the UK and was hunted for half a year, Tang Shuo never dared to do such a thing again and was in awe of all the women around him.
"What should I do now? I can't drive either." Lu Wanqi raised her eyebrows and suddenly asked, "You don't have a job now, right?"
"Um……"
"Can you be my bodyguard?" Lu Wanqi asked expectantly.
Tang Shuo was so shocked that he almost fell off the bed.
It's not that he hasn't been a bodyguard before. He has carried out dozens of escort missions before, but most of them were for national leaders or important guests visiting China.
But being a bodyguard for an ordinary woman?
Isn't this a bit of a waste of talent?
Seeing Tang Shuo's strange expression, Lu Wanqi thought he was happy, so she said even more generously, "Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."
At this moment, Lu Wanqi felt that she was simply too smart.
Anyway, she has already decided to find a bodyguard. If she asks her father to find one, it will definitely be someone she is not familiar with, which will be very awkward.
This guy's skills are pretty good, at least he makes people feel safe. He also looks decent, so it's not embarrassing to take him out. More importantly, he doesn't look lecherous.
With such great employment pressure nowadays, this guy will definitely not be able to find a good job. Helping him now is just a way to repay his life-saving grace.
"What do you do? Do you still need a bodyguard?" Tang Shuo thought for a moment and asked.
Lu Wanqi thought that this guy didn't know her yet, so she smiled and said proudly, "I'm a star, a very famous one."
Tang Shuo pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "As long as you agree to one condition of mine, there will be no problem."
"What conditions?"
"I need enough private time. I have some personal matters to deal with."
Tang Shuo didn't have anything important to do right now, except to go to the Jiang family in Yanjing and look for his senior sister.
Anyway, it was just a way to experience the life of an ordinary person. I figured nothing serious would happen to this innocent woman, so being her bodyguard was fine. Besides, being around a beautiful woman and enjoying the sight of her seemed pretty good.
"No problem." Lu Wanqi said happily.
Normally, she is on set filming and does not need bodyguards during filming. They are only needed when attending some events or in her private time.
"Should we talk about salary?"
Since he has decided to be a bodyguard, Tang Shuo naturally would not just do the job without getting paid.
Friendship is friendship, but the issue of money still needs to be discussed clearly.
But his purpose was not the money, he just wanted to experience the feeling of getting a salary.
Lu Wanqi obviously had no experience in this area. Her agent and makeup artist were all assigned by the company, and this was her first time hiring someone herself. After thinking for a while, she slowly said, "How about an annual salary of 100,000?"
Seeing that Tang Shuo didn't answer, Lu Wanqi thought she had said too little, so she continued, "If you do well, I'll give you a bonus."
"good."
Tang Shuo didn't get too critical about this issue, and nodded and agreed with a smile.
An annual salary of one hundred thousand dollars is not a small amount for an ordinary person, so Tang Shuo gladly accepted it, even though given his abilities, there were many people willing to spend over a hundred million dollars to hire him.
After deciding on the bodyguard in a few words, Lu Wanqi was in a good mood. She straightened her hair and said with a smile, "Please prepare the toiletries for me. Let's go buy breakfast and then we'll go back to Yanjing."
"What?" Tang Shuo's facial muscles twitched and he asked in shock.
"Is there something wrong with your ears?" Lu Wanqi said disdainfully, "My legs are not good, so of course you did it."
Tang Shuo shook his head resignedly, then walked towards the door of the room.
He had begun to question whether his decision was right or not.
…………
"How about it, handsome, right?" Lu Wanqi asked proudly, pointing at a red Jeep Wrangler on the side of the road.
Tang Shuo nodded and looked at Lu Wanqi on his back with some curiosity.
The Jeep Wrangler series isn't expensive, costing between 500,000 and 600,000 yuan. However, most people drive a Wrangler for off-roading, as this fuel-guzzling vehicle struggles to perform in congested cities. The Wrangler is also known for its excellent climbing capabilities.
He really couldn't understand why Lu Wanqi would buy such a car. Was she a road killer and just wanted to avoid collisions?
But if that were the case, she shouldn't have bought a car with such a wide wheelbase.
Tang Shuo felt that the only reasonable explanation was that Lu Wanqi had a dual personality, and that a crazy heart might be lurking beneath her pure appearance.
However, it would be very suitable for Wang Bihan to drive this car.
Thinking of this, Tang Shuo's body suddenly shook. He seemed to be thinking about that female Tyrannosaurus all the time these past two days?
Before retiring from the army, he made a bet with Yu Haoran and played a little joke on the female Tyrannosaurus. He knew without a doubt that the female Tyrannosaurus was planning to tear him apart alive.
Could it be that I kind of like the female Tyrannosaurus?
Tang Shuo immediately shook his head, throwing this horrible thought out of his mind.
Apart from the fact that the color was a bit too flashy, Tang Shuo was very satisfied with everything else about the car. After all, the Wrangler has a good reputation.
What's more, the car is not his, so he will have no objection.
After putting Lu Wanqi in the back seat, Tang Shuo went straight to the driver's seat.
Accompanied by the powerful roar of the Wrangler's engine and Lu Wanqi's exclamation, the car rushed out directly.
Tang Shuo still has some expectations for his future life.
Before he was fifteen, when his lame master was still alive, he had always lived with his master and senior sister, and most of the time he traveled back and forth to various parts of China to seek medical treatment and medicine.
When he was fifteen years old, his master passed away. According to his master's will, he went to the northwest with an old general, and then joined a secret unit code-named "037". He was discharged from the army two days ago because of his deteriorating health.
Now he is twenty-one years old, and he has always longed for the life of an ordinary person.
If he didn't have this strange disease, Tang Shuo would also like to go to school, fall in love, get married, have children... just like an ordinary Chinese person, until he died.
But for a soldier who could become the captain of '037' in just two years and even become famous internationally, can the rest of his life really be as peaceful as he imagined?
Yanjing is destined to be in turmoil.
