Volu 4: High School Arc - “I” Co to Find You~
Next ca the scene of a group of pets running wild, and for a mont, the room was filled with lively commotion.
“Sister Shao He, what do you plan to do today?”
“? What could I possibly have to do?”
After finishing the al, I sat bored in the chair scrolling through my phone, and casually asked Shao He a question as if it were nothing.
“Sister Shao He, do you like shopping? I’ve noticed your clothes barely change styles day to day. Why don’t we go shopping for clothes today?”
I had just gone shopping with Lu Haochen yesterday, and for so reason, it made suddenly want to go again.
Maybe it was out of boredom, but on the other hand, it wasn’t just simple boredom.
Last night, I had looked at the map, and there was a large shopping mall near the city’s Criminal Police Headquarters.
My goal was to go to the mall, and halfway through shopping, I would say I was tired and nap briefly in the car.
While in that world, I would let the Evil Spirit Form enter the headquarters and investigate the belongings of the four deceased.
Mainly their phones—I needed to see the contact numbers stored on those three people’s phones and make a list.
Also, if possible, I’d like to find out where Bai Yao worked.
Thinking of this, I glanced at Shao He.
Shao He furrowed her brows and lowered her head to look at herself.
She often wore a black OL-style suit, looking neat and tidy.
“You don’t need to worry about . All my clothes are custom-made from tactical materials. They might not look like much, but they’re not cheap.”
“Tactical materials? What kind?”
Seeing my curiosity, Shao He hesitated a little, took off her jacket, and handed it over.
But before that, she reached into the inside of the jacket and took sothing out, slipping it into her pants pocket before tossing the jacket to .
I stared curiously at her hand, but her movents were too quick, and she used the jacket to block it.
I didn’t catch what she took out at all.
“Take a look for yourself.”
With that, she tossed the jacket over.
I caught it casually, and the mont it landed in my hand, I imdiately felt it was much heavier than a regular piece of clothing.
After catching it, I examined it up and down.
From the outside, it looked no different from an ordinary suit.
But once I touched the fabric and stretched it a bit, I instantly understood why it was called tactical fabric.
This suit wasn’t stiff like a regular one.
It was extrely elastic, and the stitching at the seams was especially reinforced.
Though it looked like a small and ordinary suit, it concealed many things.
The front, back, inside, and outside all had hidden pockets.
Even the collar had so hidden compartnts.
I opened the collar and took a quick look.
There was a thin steel wire hidden inside.
This thing might look useless, but it could definitely be used to cut certain materials, like a saw blade.
I guessed what Shao He had hidden earlier was sothing like a blade.
“Wow, this is just like the clothes special agents wear—so many hidden pockets.”
“There’s no such thing as guarding against a thief for a thousand days. My job is harder than stealing, so it’s better to be prepared.”
Shao He calmly sipped her tea as she spoke.
At this ti, Reina was upstairs cleaning.
In this villa, Reina was responsible for everything except Shao He’s room.
“Sister Shao He… um, don’t you ever plan to wear sothing different?”
Looking at the suit, I couldn’t help feeling a headache over Shao He’s line of work.
Being a bodyguard might look cool, but in practice, it was extrely troubleso.
Just seeing the nurous hidden pockets in that suit said it all.
And there were so many tools hidden in the clothes.
A good number of survival tools could be found in that suit.
And all those hidden pockets were carefully designed—without a thorough search, you’d never find where anything was hidden.
There were even hidden pockets in the sleeves.
“No need. If I changed into ordinary clothes, I wouldn’t be able to carry a lot of things.”
Shao He glanced at and said sowhat helplessly:
“Yunyan, I know what you’re thinking. But work is work. My job is to ensure your personal safety, so I can’t afford to relax. But… if you want, you could take Reina to buy so clothes.”
“Reina? Oh right… there’s Reina too!”
That’s right.
How did I forget about this usually quiet girl?
Since Reina ca to stay with , she had barely stepped outside.
A young girl in the pri of her youth was cooped up in a villa, facing animals every day.
She had no real friends and no entertainnt.
If this kept going, she’d be stifled to death!
“Reina~! Reina!~”
As I thought of that, I casually tossed the jacket back to Shao He, then turned and shouted upstairs to Reina.
“Hi! What’s the matter, Ojou-sama?”
Reina’s voice answered from upstairs.
Although she knew I could speak Japanese, she still used that sowhat awkward Chinese when talking to .
I figured it had sothing to do with her desire to integrate into this society.
“Do you have any plans today, Reina?”
I shouted upstairs.
There was a slight pause before a response ca.
“No different from usual. Why?”
“No reason, just asking if you have ti. I want to go shopping, and I noticed you always wear that maid outfit. Why don’t we buy you sothing new to wear today?”
There was a clear pause from Reina upstairs.
Monts later, she ca down the stairs from the second floor, her face showing a bit of hesitation.
“Ojou-sama, you know my situation. I don’t really have…”
“That’s nothing. My treat. So, are you coming or not?”
“…If that’s the case, then…”
Seeing the expression on Reina’s face—wanting to go but feeling embarrassed—I imdiately slapped the table.
“OK, it’s settled! Reina, go lock them back up first, we’re heading out!”
“Th… thank you, Ojou-sama.”
Reina still looked a bit embarrassed.
It seed like she really wanted to go out and buy sothing, but since she didn’t have any money, and given that she was still in a ‘sold’ status, she had been suppressing those feelings.
Seeing the plan was settled and today’s sche had a good chance of succeeding, I couldn’t help but show a relaxed smile on my face.
I turned back, just about to sip so tea and take a breath, when I saw Shao He… with an amused expression.
Ugh…
Gratefully withdrew the expression from my face and acted like nothing happened—
No, wait… I should be pretending to have a headache.
Yeah, not a serious one, but the kind you need to pretend is serious.
Quickly raised a hand to my forehead.
But before I could even fake a groan, Shao He chuckled and said:
“Alright, cut the act.”
“……”
Seeing the playful teasing in Shao He’s eyes, I awkwardly lowered my hand.
“Heh… um, Sister Shao He…”
“Relax, I won’t file a report.”
