Chapter 32 Protection
Yang Mian blinked her big, watery eyes and asked in confusion, "Why are you being chased every time I see you?"
As she spoke, she frowned slightly, and then she asked, "Is it because they think you look weak and can be bullied?"
Yang Mian voluntarily put himself in the shoes of Huo Yanshen, a weak scholar.
Hearing this, Huo Yanshen widened his eyes, pointed at his face in disbelief, and said loudly: "Me? I am weak and can be bullied?"
He really couldn't figure out where on earth Yang Mian had this strange illusion that he was an easy target to bully.
However, Yang Mian did not pay attention to Huo Yanshen's reaction at this time. Instead, he firmly held his hand and said solemnly: "Don't worry! From now on, I will protect you. I will never let anyone have the chance to bully you again!"
When Yang Mian held Huo Yanshen's large and powerful hands, a familiar warmth instantly surged into his heart.
She couldn't help but recall the little things she had experienced with him in her previous life, when his big hands were also so warm.
Those hands left countless marks on her body.
Huo Yanshen was stunned. This woman actually said she wanted to protect him.
The word "protect" was so fresh, but he had an indescribable feeling towards Yang Mian. "Okay! Then you protect me."
Huo Yanshen's secret guards could no longer suppress their curiosity and gossip, and began to discuss among themselves in low voices.
One of them lowered his voice and said, "Hey, don't you think our Master Shen is too shameless? He pretends to be a weakling and lets a woman protect him."
Another person quickly agreed, "That's right, but in my opinion, Master Shen is clearly playing the pig to eat the tiger! Don't you think this woman has a bit of a tigress temperament?"
Someone else interrupted, "Yes, yes, I think so too. When she subdued the driver just now, her moves were clean and neat. It was obvious that she was a martial artist."
At this moment, someone suddenly had an idea and said, "Hey, do you think she could be our future mistress?"
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused a burst of laughter.
Someone laughed and joked: "Haha, you're thinking too early, aren't you? Didn't you see that the girl is still wearing a school uniform? Maybe she's not even an adult yet!"
However, someone immediately retorted: "What does that mean? Isn't our Shen Ye still a senior high school student? Can you use the standards of ordinary senior high school students to measure our Shen Ye? That's definitely not possible!"
Everyone nodded in agreement. The more they discussed, the more excited they became, as if they had already seen the wonderful story that was about to unfold between Huo Yanshen and Yang Mian.
Yang Mian stood in front of Huo Yanshen, her white fingers gently reached into her arms, and she gently took out a piece of talisman paper. The talisman paper trembled slightly at her fingertips, as if carrying some mysterious power. "This is for you." She raised her head, her eyes shining with sincerity, her voice soft but with an unquestionable firmness.
Huo Yanshen raised his eyebrows slightly, took the talisman paper with his slender fingers, and looked at the seemingly ordinary paper, his eyes full of confusion, "What is this?"
"The amulet I drew can keep you safe." Yang Mian blinked, with a lively look in his eyes, and nodded vigorously, as if to emphasize the magical effect of the amulet to Huo Yanshen.
"Amulet?" Huo Yanshen repeated it again with an imperceptible hint of amusement in his tone. He gently stroked the edge of the talisman paper, as if feeling whether there was anything special on it.
“Yeah.” Yang Mian nodded her head like a rattle, with an innocent smile on her face. That smile was like a flower blooming in spring, warm and bright.
Huo Yanshen couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart. He looked at the serious girl in front of him, and the words "little charlatan" emerged in his mind.
Yang Mian is really a special person. He even carries something mysterious like amulets with him.
However, since it was a gift from her, I'll just accept it.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he carefully placed the amulet in his arms. His movements were so gentle that it seemed as if it was not an ordinary talisman paper, but a rare treasure.
In the corner, two secret guards were watching all this intently.
One of the secret guards couldn't help but get close to the other secret guard and complained in a low voice: "Our future mistress seems to be a little charlatan? She even carries talismans with her. Amulets? Can this thing really keep you safe?"
His face was full of doubt and he shook his head slightly, as if he was scoffing at the effectiveness of the amulet.
Another secret guard also smiled and responded softly: "You overthink it, it's just an ordinary talisman. I don't believe this talisman paper is that powerful."
There was a hint of mockery in his eyes, and he felt that the amulet was just a joke.
"But our Master Shen seems to treasure this thing very much and holds it close to his chest."
The secret guard who spoke first curled his lips and looked at Huo Yanshen's actions in disbelief. He was very surprised by his boss's reaction.
Yang Mian happened to catch the action of Huo Yanshen placing the amulet on his chest, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
She looked at Huo Yanshen, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a satisfied smile.
Huo Yanshen in this life, just like the scholar in his previous life, was full of trust in her.
It feels so good to be trusted.
Yang Mian's expression was full of concern. She looked at Huo Yanshen solemnly and reminded him specifically: "There are too many people chasing you. You must carry this talisman with you at all times. Don't leave it at any time or place. Only in this way can I feel at ease." There was a flash of worry in her eyes, and her words were filled with unquestionable earnestness.
Huo Yanshen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and replied softly, "Okay." Just one word, but it seemed to carry endless promises, which instantly calmed Yang Mian's heart.
Yang Mian seemed to suddenly remember something, blinked her eyes, and said playfully: "Come to think of it, I don't know where you live yet?" She tilted her head, her eyes full of curiosity, and waited quietly for Huo Yanshen's answer.
"The Huo family in Beijing." Huo Yanshen's voice was low and powerful, and he uttered these four words concisely and clearly.
"The Huo family in Beijing?" Yang Mian's eyes widened, surprise written all over his face, and his voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.
Her heart was in turmoil and a thought quickly flashed through her mind: Isn't the person I'm engaged to be the young master of the Huo family in Beijing? Could it be Huo Yanshen? If it really is him, that would be great.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smugness.
