  Ming Shu looked at him.

  Xuan Ge was so innocent. He didn’t even use any strength.

  “If I say I didn’t grip it hard, will you believe me?”


  Ming Shu raised her hand to beat him.

  Xuan Ge didn’t avoid it, though, letting Ming Shu’s weak fists fall on him.

  Then he wrapped his palm around Ming Shu’s hand and whispered, “It’s all my fault.”


  Ming Shu: “.……”


  “Release your hand.”

  Xuan Ge took her hand and kissed it.

  The warmth of his fingertips was soft and numb, slowly flowing to her limbs and organs.

  Ming Shu pulled back her hand calmly.

  She picked up the broken musical box. This thing couldn’t be fixed.

  Well……

  Ming Shu brushed away some bits and pieces to see a cartoon-like USB stick underneath.

  Ming Shu checked it, but didn’t see anything special about this cute USB stick.

  Looking down on the floor, Ming Shu found a folded piece of paper under the debris.

  The paper shape was also a cute little animal.

  Ming Shu opened it.

  There was nothing else on the paper, only a pattern.

  The pattern that Yi Qiao drew to show her.

  Ming Shu: “.……”


  “This thing……” Xuan Ge murmured, “Is it what they’re looking for?”


  Ming Shu wasn’t sure.

  What Yi Qiao drew for her was a box.

  How come she got a USB stick now?

  Did this USB stick come in a box?

  Wouldn’t that be very easy to spot?

  Ming Shu thought for a moment and didn’t come to any conclusions, so she simply decided not to waste snacks.

  She put her arm around his neck and kissed him. “You’re still useful.”


  Xuan Ge: “.……”

  After kissing him, Ming Shu got up to look for the computer and inserted the USB stick .

  But the computer didn’t respond for a long time. Ming Shu tried again and again.

  “It doesn’t work?”


  Xuan Ge stood behind her and said, “This USB stick looks ancient, no wonder it doesn’t work.”


  Since the death of Shu Ran’s parents, it had been around five years. Unused things would break easily.

  Besides, this cute USB stick looked very poor in quality……

  “Uh…… aren’t those people looking for this stupid thing?”

  What they were trying to find was already broken.

  Xuan Ge: “.……”


  The person who used the USB stick before probably didn’t expect it to work for such a long time.

  Ming Shu poured a glass of water and tried to throw the USB stick into it.

  “What are you doing?” Xuan Ge stopped her.

  “I’ll give it a bath.”


  A bath?

  Why?!

  “Maybe it can be fixed.”


  “Why do you want to fix it?”


  “You don’t want to know what’s inside?” Xuan Ge paused. “It’s highly possible your parents died because of something inside.”


  “No.” Ming Shu pushed away Xuan Ge’s hand and threw the USB stick into the water. “I don’t have extra energy to know that. It’s more convenient to destroy it, isn’t it?”


  As Xuan Ge watched, the USB stick was immersed in the water, and he formed a new understanding of the person he liked.

  She did things not according to logic at all, but heart and convenience.

  “Even if you destroy it, those people will still think it’s in your hands; they won’t let you go.”


  “Then I’ll just give it to them.”


  “You……” Xuan Ge looked at the object in the water. So how will you give it to them?

  “I’ll think about it carefully.”


  “.……”
……

  The water splashed. Ripples upon ripples spread on the surface.

  It shattered the moonlight.

  A tall man stood silently by the water, like death blending into the darkness. The shimmering crystalline lights of the water swept across the surface, revealing a chilling tip of the iceberg.

  Xuan Ge killed the person who sneaked in, then Yi Qiao appeared with two bodyguards, and the bodyguards went down to fish the body out of the pool.

  Yi Qiao asked, “How many of them including this one?”


  Xuan Ge looked up at the starry sky. “Five.”


  Some people had been trying to break in these days, and Xuan Ge handled many of them in secret.

  The two of them were silent until the bodyguards dragged the body away.

  Then Yi Qiao said, “You must…… protect Young Miss at night.”


  “Yes.”


  Yi Qiao added, “But you’re not allowed to do anything to her! You’re not allowed to enter her room if there isn’t danger! If you dare do anything to her, I won’t let you go!”


  Xuan Ge: “.……”


  After they separated, Xuan Ge returned to his room, which had moved next door to Ming Shu, apparently.

  Xuan Ge stood beside the bed, seemingly watching something. Then after a long time, he climbed over the window and went next door.

  He fell quietly into the room.

  There was no light on and the girl was lying on her side.

  Xuan Ge walked closer and slowly squatted down as he intertwined his fingers with the girl’s.

  “Xuan Ge?”


  “Yes.” Xuan Ge took her hand. “Did I wake you?”


  “What are you doing in my room?”


  “Protecting you.”


  “.……”


  Ming Shu thought it was an excuse the little demon made up.

  Xuan Ge put his palm on Ming Shu’s head and gently stroked her like a pet.

  “I won’t bother you, I’ll just stay with you. Go to sleep.”


  Ming Shu moved a little. “Come here.”


  Xuan Ge was stunned before naturally climbing into the bed and lying down.

  Ming Shu found herself a comfortable place to hold him, rubbed his chest, and closed her eyes.

  “Why don’t you smell at all?”


  The girl’s voice sounded softly in the darkness.

  He was too clean.

  Too clean to be human.

  Xuan Ge brushed through Ming Shu’s long hair with his fingers. “Any scent can be a cause of failure.”


  He held the girl tightly in his arms.

  “But, I’d like to smell you in the future.”


  “So you can blame me when you fail in your mission?”

  Xuan Ge’s voice turned low. “I’ll be with you for my whole life.”


  “Who said that, did I promise you anything?”

  “I’m sorry.” His voice was clear in the darkness. “I’ve taken it upon myself to give you my future.”


  “I don’t want that.”


  “It’s not up to you.”


  “Are you trying to buy or sell by force?”


  “Yeah.”


  Ming Shu: “.……”


  As Xuan Ge listened to Ming Shu’s breathing gradually calm, he felt very serene.

  He never thought about it.

  That one day, there would be such a person beside him.

  People in the organization described him as cold-blooded, a killing machine, that kind of thing.

  He always thought they were right.

  Because he had no feelings.

  Su Qi and Wei Yi, he didn’t care about them, either. He allowed them to follow him only because they were useful.

  He was a cold-blooded killer, icy to the extreme.

  His world seemed so still.

  Sometimes he wondered if he was even truly alive.

  Until she showed up.

  His world began to move when he met her.

  Moving just for her.
