I took out the address card they gave me as i arrived at a mansion.I looked around in my plumbing uniform as i pressed the intercom.

"Call for Mr and Mrs Zhang.A call for a clogged pipe."I said as i mentioned the agreed statement.

The gate immediately opened and i was usher in."Wait could i use the bathroom?"

"Down the hall to the left."The butler immediately said as i walked away to get changed.

The mansion was huge.It was stacked with portraits and definitely expensive vases.

I wonder how many cases i would have to work to even afford one.

I quickly got changed into my clothes and just as i was ready to leave.I bumped into someone.

"Woah sorry."He said as he steadied me."I told Zeyu about the bathroom problem yet he refuses to get it fixed..sorry about that."

He offered me a smile to which i did not return as i cleaned myself.

"And you are?"i asked cautiously.

"Zuo Hang.Zhang zeyu's fellow classmate and trainee mate.We're best friends."

I eyed him warily before walking off.I heard his footsteps echo in the hall as he tried to catch up

"Hey what's your name?You can't leave after knowing mine."

I frowned."Ave-..i mean Yilin.I just moved here from Hebei."I recited as i recalled my fake backstory.

"Hebei?That's quite far.What brought you here?"

I paused before quickly replying."Food."

He laughed."Yeah i must admit Chongqing's barbeque is quite good but i never thought it would be the reason for moving provinces."

"Well the things you do for food you love."I replied.

"Well said.Where are you headed anyways and how do you know Zeyu?"

"I'm here to find his parents..i know him..from an event.Let's just say business stuff."

He seemed to understand.

"Right..this way."He said as he grabbed my hand and led me the other way."That's the way to his parents office but knowing the Zhangs,they're probably spending time with their son today..who just happens to really enjoy playing indoor football."

My heart skipped a beat as i restrained the urge to pull my hand away.

He's helping..he won't hurt you..he would he helpful

We finally arrived at an observation deck where the Zhangs were playing football with a boy.Zhang Zeyu.

"Mrs Zhang..Mr Zhang..someone was looking for you."

They finally noticed me as Zuo Hang spoke out.Zeyu gave me a small smile and wave.Great at least i dont have to go through the hassle and argument of explaining

"Ah..you must be Yilin.The bodyguard we hired for Zeyu."

"Ahh!"Zuo Hang said in shock as he turned around before he made his way to Zeyu.

I kept a neutral look on my face.

"Yes how may i help?"

"Just tag along with Zeyu and make sure he's safe at all times."

While looking out for a man who wants to kill your son..got it.I could see it on the Zhangs face that they had yet to tell Zeyu the true meaning behind his protection ajd it felt like a silent promise and urge for me not to say anything.

I nodded my head as i approached Zeyu and stuck out my hand.

"Hello,i'm Yilin.I'm your new bodyguard,hope we get along."
