Qi Yunxiao had only written half of the letter of commitment when Ling Su came back.
Before Chen Yao could ask him why he came back so quickly, he took the initiative to explain: "I happened to meet Mu Ying outside the courtyard, so I asked him to send the doctor out of the house. I came back to listen to your orders, young lady."
Chen Yao raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
Qi Yunxiao suddenly stopped writing and glanced towards Ling Su. Then, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly asked Chen Yao, "Do you still need a guard?"
Chen Yao was stunned and replied, "I have guards."
Qi Yunxiao chuckled for no apparent reason. He then clenched his hands and rubbed the calluses on his palms. After confirming that they were the marks left by years of martial arts training, he looked straight at her and said, "Do you mind having another one?"
Chen Yao was stunned again, looking at the thin cloth bandages wrapped around his head, shoulder blades and chest, and almost blurted out: Are you sure you can do it?
But fortunately, she stopped in time and said something more tactful: "Your injury hasn't healed yet..."
Qi Yunxiao didn't intend to avoid the topic and said bluntly: "The injury will always heal, and besides, I can also start doing some simple things first, there is no conflict."
Naturally, Chen Yao secretly wanted him to take care of his body first. You know, this is a hard foundation. If he doesn't take good care of it and don't make good supplements, then if he doesn't recover well, it will be of no benefit in the future.
Anyway... well... just take care of it, and keep it in good health, which will be good for both him and her.
Anyway, she doesn't have any messy strategies in mind at the moment. The person will be here for the time being. At the very least, he is a person who knows how to repay a favor. There will be no shortage of opportunities to contact him in the future, so there is no need to rush.
But, he just opened his mouth like this.
Chen Yao frowned and began to hesitate.
Qi Yunxiao didn't get a reply, but he was not in a hurry. He picked up the pen again, dipped it in some ink, and continued writing on the paper.
The air was so quiet that even Ling Su, who was watching from the sidelines, subconsciously relaxed his breathing. He just turned his dark eyes and looked at them silently. His presence was so reduced that he almost blended into the background of the room.
For a moment, the only sound in the room was the sound of Qi Yunxiao writing slowly.
It was unknown how long it took before Qi Yunxiao finally finished writing and put down the brush completely.
He raised his head and looked at Chen Yao again, "Really? I don't charge a monthly fee."
Chen Yao:!!!
Isn't it said that princes are generally very noble, high and mighty, and their dignity is above everything else?
How could someone who had lost their memory become so... eager? Wasn't it a bit too much to repay a favor?
Ling Su, who was almost becoming a background figure, said:???
Is the competition for escorts so fierce now? Why not a monthly salary?
This person... is just too good!
He and Muying combined are not as capable as he is!
Chen Yao looked conflicted: "Please allow me... to think about it again."
Qi Yunxiao was not in a hurry, but added: "Just consider it as a way to repay the favor of saving my life. After all, every little bit counts."
Chen Yao thought for a long time before finally deciding to nod, "Okay, I promise you."
Qi Yunxiao was not surprised. He had already given her this much for nothing. If she refused again, he would be the one who thought too much.
A faint smile flashed across his lips. "Okay, then I will be your bodyguard from now on. If you like, you can give me a name. It will be convenient to call me by a name. I will definitely be there whenever you call me."
Ling Su on the side was defeated again:!!!
This person is really good!
Even before he officially took office, he already knew how to please his master, and even thought of ways to please him like giving him a name!
By doing this, he and Muying seemed really... stupid?
It’s incredible! Their guard team has come with something extraordinary.
Chen Yao didn't think too much about the name she wanted to give Qi Yunxiao. She just said what she thought: "Isn't the word Lin Yuan engraved on your seal? How about I call you Lin Yuan from now on?"
But after saying this, she realized that in ancient times, not everyone could call out the prince's courtesy name.
Thinking that he would be her bodyguard in the future, and would be called by Ling Su, Mu Ying, Xi Chun, Yue Zhu and others, and if everyone called him "Lin Yuan", she simply couldn't imagine that scene.
After thinking it over, she quickly changed her tone and said, "Forget it, I still can't. I'll think of a temporary name for you. After all, we will eventually part ways. When your memory returns and you leave here, this temporary name will disappear with you and won't affect your future life."
Qi Yunxiao paused, and looked at Chen Yao with a look of inexplicable emotion in his eyes, "It's all right, just do whatever you want."
Chen Yao nodded and began to think about what to name him.
"How about falling off the wall? You fell down from the corner of my yard, and my guards found you there. These two words are concise and to the point."
Qi Yunxiao: ...
Ling Su on the side: Fortunately, his name was not given by the young lady.
"Forget it. 'Falling wall' doesn't have a good connotation. After all, guards sometimes have to climb walls and jump over rooftops. 'Falling wall' sounds like falling down. No, no, I'll think of another one."
Qi Yunxiao immediately breathed a sigh of relief and poured himself a glass of water to ease the turmoil in his heart.
Who would have thought that Chen Yao would soon act spontaneously again: "How about calling me Kang Kang? I hope you can recover quickly and stay healthy in the future!"
