Beauty and the Bodyguard

But no matter what, she was already at the hospital- there was no way she could run back to the train station now, she needed to pay the money first!

She got in line and paid the surery fee, but realized, in surprise, that there was a note in the package- on it was a phone number and an address!

So he left her a note already! She breathed out in relief, the worry disappearing. Now she only needed to get enough money and she’d be able to pay it back to this address!

She carefully put the note away, and went to Xiao Ken with the receipt.

Goudan was waiting at the train station, worried that she wouldn’t be able to find him if he left. The money wasn’t very important, but the address was very much so!

And so he didn’t dare leave- he sat on the bench, and time passed by, darkening and getting bright again, and darkening again… Two days passed, and Xiaoke still hadn’t returned!

Only then did Goudan realize- that he’d been scammed!

“This big liar girlie, she tricked me!” Goudan said, frustrated as he looked at the big train station.

It’d been so long, and Xiaoke still hadn’t appeared- he was honest and simple, but even he udnerstood what this meant!

He was quite troubled- the girlie could just steal the money, but couldn’t she give the note back? What was he supposed to do with his big task of getting the medicine to Boss Lin Yi now?

He sighed loudly and got up, patting his ass and hellplessly leaving the place. He needed to find something to eat for now- it had already been two days, and he was about to starve to death! Fortunately for him, his body was abnormally healthy- a normal person would have probably been dead by now!

A while later, he smelled a nice chicken smell- raising his head, he saw the big words, ‘Burgers and Fried Chicken,’ on the restaurant signboard!

This sort of fastfood was something he’d seen on the TV before, but he had never had it! This wasn’t something that would appear in Starwest village, and so he felt that it was really fresh! Combining that thought with his two day fast, and he was already drooling!

Goudan quickly stepped into the restaurant- there was a female waitress there and no one else there.

The sky was dark, so it was normal that there hadn’t been anyone there.

“Hi, what’s good here?” Goudan was quite hungry- he was already drooling when he looked at the chicken pieces on the warmer, “I want this, and this, and another of this, and this… And then a burger!”

“Alright, wait a moment…” Yu Yuanyuan nodded, her expression tired as she took out all the food he ordered, putting them in the tray.

She had always felt that this job was really dry, but now she was going to miss it very much! There were only two days left for her before she became Fighter Li’s woman- she wouldn’t be able to show up here anymore!

And so she really treasured her last moments at work- she wouldn’t get a chance like this again!

“Sir, that’ll be fifty six kuai,” Yuayuan said as she passed the tray.

“Alright…” Goudan was quite surprised- the food in the city was quite expensive! This meal was already enough for a family to eat for a couple of days! He was just about to take out money from his clothes, but only then did he remember that he had gotten cheated by that girl!

His face looked awkward- if he ate without money, wouldn’t that be a dine and dash?

“What’s wrong?” Yuanyuan noticed the change in his expression.

“I… I don’t have money…” Goudan said, embarrassed, “My money… it got scammed off me…”

“Scamnmed?” Yuayuan blinked and looked at Goudan suspiciously. Looking at what he was wearing, the man seemed honest- he didn’t look like the type who would dine and dash. Plus, fast food joints had a pay up front system, too, so that wasn’t possible!

“In the train station, a girlie told me that her kid had appendicitis, and she needed money for the surgery… I gave her all of my one thousand nine hundred something to lend to her, and she said she would return it, so I waited on the train station bench for two days… She never came back…” Goudan couldn’t help but get a bit angry here, “It’s so frustrating! I haven’t eaten for two days to wait for her, but she just left…”

“Ah??” Yuanyuan paused- wasn’t this guy a little too honest? Waiting for two days for some stranger to return the money to him? Did he really believe anything people said? Appendictis? The girl was clearly a scammer!

But, one look at the clothing Goudan was wearing, and she knew that he’d just entered the city. People like him were very honest, and it wasn’t that big of a surprise that he had gotten scammed. She couldn’t help but feel sympathy when she heard that he hadn’t eaten for two days, “This food… Consider it my treat. Hurry up and eat, don’t starve…”

She was about to go to Fighter Li’s anymore, and she knew that money wouldn’t help her anymore. The guy didn’t lack money at all, so she didn’t mind doing a good deed here!

In simple terms, Goudan was in the same situation as his father Yu Ren- both got scammed, and she felt like she wanted to help him if possible.

“I… I couldn’t…” Goudan scratched his head, not expecting Yuanyuan to buy him food like this! This girl wasn’t as pretty as the girlie who scammed him, but she was a goddess among goddesses in his eye! Much prettier than all the girls in his village!

Plus, Xiaoke’s image in Goudan’s eyes had already collapsed, while the kindness in front of him was at its peak- he wondered why two pretty girls living in the same city would have such a big gap between them?

“It’s alright- you’re kind, and you just got scammed. Hurry and eat- it’ll get cold.” Yuanyuan said.

“Then… Then I’ll dig in! I’ll pay you back once I find that scammer girlie!” Goudan said as he drooled over the chicken.

With that, he took the tray to a table and happily ate up everything.

Seeing Goudan eat his chicken and burger without worry made her remember her horrible fate- just how unlucky was she? Goudan’s scam made him lose a few thousand kuai, but his father’s scam made him lose her…
