They had begun ordering while i sat at the other table away from them.

Zeyu had reassured me that he'd pay for my food but right now..i wasn't exactly in the mood for food.

I just sighed as i opened my laptop and ordered coffee.

Who would want me dead? I thought.

The agency was small with only 10 active agents and 15 supervisors in charge of one area of expertise.I couldn't think of a motive and i couldn't think of why.Could it be the martial arts teacher? Or the weapons technician?

It could be an anyone and i'm no where close to figuring out why.

Zuo Hang's POV
I stared at her.I just couldn't understand why.Usually it doesn't take long for me to understand girls.I just pretend to listen and they talk away and from the small slips of experience,i can already decipher them down to their hometown.

But Yilin was different,she wouldn't talk unless instructed to and it's not more than what we want to know.She seems to be reading off a script in her mind all while trying to decipher us.

"Hang jiang.You good?"Zeyu asked as he followed my eyes and then he gave a knowing smile.

"She's really pretty you know."Zeyu said in a daydream tone."I don't get why or how my parents got the prettiest bodyguard ever."

"Zeyu..i dont like her like that."I replied.

"You sure? Because every time we look at you..you're always staring at her with a look."Zhang Junhao replied.

I looked back at the table and i hadnt noticed how they had all stopped their conversations to look at us or more specifically me.

"Ugh..i really dont like her like that."

"Whatever you say."Zhangji said while looking at Zeyu with a chuckle.

I sighed as i mentally facepalmed.There was no way i could stop them now.

The food finally came and i was finally no longer the main subject.

I quickly snuck a glance at Yilin's table.

Just a drink?

That's not going to fill her.She'll be hungry later..

Wait why am i concerned..i should not be concerned.She is not worth my concern.

"Eat up and stop staring at Bao ge's bodyguard."Zhu Zhixin said as he placed food onto my plate.

"I don't get it though Zhixin..she's so..strange.."

"That's every new person in your life.She's no different."

"But she is..i think."

"Just wait it out..you'll realise that you were just being paranoid."

I stayed silent even though i was certain i wasn't.

Yilin's POV
I constantly felt someone watching me.I snuck a quick glance in the direction and realised it was Zuo Hang.

"What does he want?"I grumbled.

I waited as the time ticked by.The line for the restaurant snaked out and i couldn't help but feel guilty for taking up space despite being done a long time ago.

I snuck a glance at the group and realised that they were finishing up.

Thank goodness i thought.

I quickly stood up and went to Zeyu.My face was neutral as i stood next to him.

"What are you doing?"Zeyu asked.

"My job."

"Yeah but now they know i have a guard, they'll start targeting to you."

"They know already because of a leak."

"Leak."Zeyu asked concerned.

I nodded."Besides if they target me,at least i'll be closer to finding out who leaked the information."

Zeyu just nodded as they finally stood up to leave.They paid and went to visit the different shops.I dont know when i noticed,but Zuo Hang was gone.

He wasn't my client but i couldn't help but feel concerned.

"He said he had to go to the toilet..he'll fine..he's a grown up already."Tong Yukun said for the sixth time."See he's back now."

I looked up to see him walking back to join us.I sighed a quick sigh of relief.

"What took you so long?"Zhu Zhixin scolded.

"Nothing..just a slight stop along the way."

"You sure it was a slight one?"Zeyu teased.

Zuo hang rolled his eyes and quickly walked next to me.I felt something warm being shoved into my hands.

I looked at it.It was freshly made waffles.

Damn he even got everything right.

I looked at him and noticed how he was avoiding my eyes.I hid a small smile as i took a bite.

"Is it good?"he said still not meeting my eye.

"It's really good."I said softly.

He finally looked at me.

"Aww hang jiang.Where's mine?We've been friends for 7 years already..you haven't bought me waffles yet."Zeyu whined.

"Shut up."Zuo hang replied,turning red.

I followed Zeyu as the group entered a clothing shop.I just silently sat down beside Zeyu as he started playing his phone as the rest went about buying clothes.

"Do you like Zuo Hang?"

What?
