It's a bodyguard, not a cowherd

"come--"

The hand raised in the air began to shake, and in the stalemate, Du Jing lost to his arm strength.

"You really don't understand the taste at all. No wonder you don't have a wife until now. What a waste of your handsome face and body, papa~"

Holding August's cheeks in both hands, hot and humid breath sprinkled on his face, Du Jing slowly approached his lips.

"I should have told you not to do this." August sideways avoided Du Jing's attack.

Slightly squinting, looking at the deep brown eyes, Du Jing withdrew his hands before being sucked in.

"You are still the same. It was in those three years, and it will be in those three years."

"Now that you know it, don't repeat these meaningless actions."

Du Jing tilted her head, her lips seemed to be curved in a smile, and asked softly, "Is it really meaningless?"

Another stare at each other.

"Okay, I see." Du Jing lowered her head, got up and sat opposite August, looked at him, and said, "papa."

August picked up the tea and did not deny Du Jing's title again.

After tasting the tea made by Du Jing himself, August calmly stated: "Someone has made a move."

"That's really unbearable."

The clear tea slowly flowed out along the spout following Du Jing's movements.

"Be careful these days."

Du Jing paused, put down the purple clay pot, looked at August, and said with a smile in his eyes: "So you came this time just because you were worried about me?"

August was lowering his head to feel the aroma of tea, and raised his head upon hearing this, raising the tea in his hand.

"And for it."

Du Jing smiled lightly and said, "It's really hard-talking."

August sipped his tea and didn't refute.

Stopping all the movements in his hands, Du Jing looked at August, frowned, and said seriously: "What about you? Have you decided to retreat? In this war."

"unnecessary."

Du Jing sighed and said, "You really haven't thought about it, think about it for a while."

August took another sip of his tea.

"What's your victory criterion?" Du Jing asked, propping his chin with his hand and tilting his head, "To monopolize the broken pages? To keep what you have? Or to use it in exchange for the maximum benefit?"

"Keep it best."

Du Jing opened his eyes slightly, smiled and said, "Well, then let me help you find out who the 'bad boy' who broke the balance is."

August's hand holding the teacup suddenly tightened, and he frowned and said sharply, "Don't get involved!"

"It's okay, it's me who collects information..."

"Don't get involved!" August's tone hardened.

Du Jing stared slightly in surprise, then smiled relaxedly and said, "Don't worry, I won't use the old method to collect information again."

"That's not allowed either!"

"It's still so tough." Du Jing got up, walked towards August slowly, leaned over, and said with his lips next to his ear, "I really hope you can use this attitude on the bed, August."

"Stop saying such things that are easy to misunderstand."

"other people?"

Du Jing raised his head and glanced around the box.

When his eyes swept across a person who could almost be regarded as a piece of furniture if he could not breathe, he was slightly surprised.

"Ah! Really, I didn't even notice that you were still there."

Zou Yu just lowered his head slightly when Du Jing looked over.

"Since we are here, let's sit down and drink tea together."

Zou Yu shook his head.

"Stubborn guy." Du Jing laughed.

Du Jing turned to look back at August, smiled and said, "He is, and so am I, so I will definitely investigate."

"You can check whoever you want, but this matter--no!"

"You are also a stubborn guy!" Du Jing sat down angrily and said with a puffy face, "but I am more stubborn than you!"

"Du Jing..."

"I won't give up, no one understands my willfulness better than you, and..." Du Jing raised her head and said with a poignant smile, "If it wasn't for this stubbornness, I would have died in the bed of some old man. "

The scene of meeting Du Jing for the first time appeared in front of my eyes——

That child who seems to be happy with the situation, who can be rounded and flattened by others, just to live as the Chu Zi in the eyes of others, is actually full of stubbornness and self-esteem deep in his eyes.

"August." Du Jing knelt at his feet, resting his head on his lap, and said softly, "I was 'created' by Brother Yeshe for the sake of the broken pages from the beginning. The characteristics, become the current male and female appearance, under the stage name of 'Chu Zi', climbed into the bed of one man and one woman after another, just for that bit of information that I don't know if it is useful, so I..."

Du Jing felt the temperature of August's hand, and closed her eyes because of the gentle touch.

"So I, I want to know the outcome of this war, witness the outcome of all the people involved in this war, and then - protect the person I want to protect, and wish him victory in this war."

Du Jing raised her head and looked at August. The moment he looked back, she asked softly, "Promise me, okay?"

The broad hand stroked Du Jing's head again, August closed his eyes, and said helplessly, "You know I can't refuse your request, right?"

"I know! That's why I did it."

Du Jing shook her head happily, like a dog wagging its tail excitedly.

"Okay, get up, it's cold on the ground."

"No way." Du Jing wrapped her arms around August's waist, squinting her eyes comfortably and said, "I've already asked someone to spread the carpet~"

"Then you are really smart."

"Of course! I don't even look whose son I am, papa~"

After lunch and coaxing Du Jing to take a nap, August is also going back to the company to deal with the work that has piled up all morning.

"Go slowly, Mr. August-Sperry."

August looked at Zou Yu who was guarding the door, and said in a deep voice, "Go in and guard."

"No, I..."

"You can be more confident."

Zou Yu looked up at August, his eyes full of doubts.

August didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.

Zou Yu opened his eyes slightly, and suddenly understood, he lowered his eyes and shook his head.

August looked towards the door, as if he could see the people inside through the door.

"Zou Yu, Du Jing believes in you more than me."

"I, I don't think so." Zou Yu said with her head bowed deeply.

August sighed slightly, and said, "Will you consciously look for your hands and feet?"

Zou Yu shook his head lightly.

"You have become his siblings, even half of his body, so he completely trusts you, completely relies on you, but he doesn't know it, so—"

August looked at Zou Yu's eyes that were hidden in the shadows, and said softly, "Stay by his side all the time, protect him, this is something I can't do."

Zou Yu raised his head abruptly, and for a moment, he seemed to see the disappointed expression flashing across August's face. He hesitated, and stammered, "Master, master, he, also respects you very much."

August, who didn't know why, frowned slightly displeased because of Zou Yu's unconfident appearance.

"I just gave him a hand when he was about to succeed, but you abandoned everything from the beginning and chose to accompany him, so don't say more."

Zou Yu blinked, subconsciously choosing silence.

When August saw this, his brows stretched again, and he took a step, directly past Zouyu, and walked towards the secretary Roger-King who was waiting in the distance.

Zou Yu bowed and saw them off.

"Mr. Roger hands out a bottle of water.

He took it without hesitation, moistened his throat that had been silent for a long time, and when he spoke so much, August quietly breathed a sigh of relief——

I really don't look like myself.

"Sir, those who stay here..."

"Continue to keep it, and send more people."

"Yes." Roger lowered his eyes, looked at August and asked, "Is Mr. Du's safety still the top priority?"

August answered without pausing: "Why do you ask such unnecessary questions?"

Roger bowed his head and said with a low profile: "I'm sorry sir, I didn't understand your previous order well, and I will put the remaining pages behind Mr. Du later."

"Apart from this, other matters are left to your judgment."

"Thank you for your trust."

Flipping through today's schedule, the scene outside the car window changes rapidly, casting flickering shadows on August's drooping face.

"Sir, there is some news worth noting."

He raised his eyes, half of his own eye was reflected in the rearview mirror, and August's half was also reflected.

"Say."

Looking ahead again, Roger said, "Zhong Shi had a car accident, but it wasn't an accident."

August's serene face was reflected on the dead tablet screen.

"Who did it?"

"It's the work of the Noshika family, but..." Roger moved his pupils slightly, and said softly, "It's clumsy."

"Who's 'The Oriole'?"

"M Military Research Institute."

After turning on the tablet again, August said calmly, "Since Dick is here, he won't go back empty-handed."

"Actually, there is one more thing worth noting."

After Roger finished speaking, his gaze immediately moved away from the rearview mirror—the gaze in August's eyes that disliked him for his slow speech was about to materialize.

"sorry sir."

"Go ahead." August moved his gaze to the tablet.

"There are also traces of Gu He's younger brother, Gu He, in the incident."

The sliding fingertips stopped, and August lowered his eyes.

For a moment, the car could not even smell the sound of breathing.

"Wipe up the traces for him." There was an imperceptible trace of fatigue in August's voice.

"Yes, sir." Roger hesitated, then asked August, "Should we stop him?"

Leaning back in the chair, August thought for a while and said, "No, just keep an eye on Dick and Ye She. Ye She won't just be silent like this."

"Yes, sir."

"Also, if Du Jing wants to check the broken pages, give him all the information that should be given to him, don't let him notice, don't let him get involved if it's too dangerous."

"I see, sir."

"If Ye She goes looking for him again, don't stop him, just keep him safe and don't interfere too much with his decision."

"clear."

Another traffic light, not far from the city center, Roger raised his eyes and asked, "Sir, are you going directly to President Gracia's banquet now?"

Looking at the time, August nodded and said, "Go directly, you prepare the gift."

"Okay, sir."

Looking at the scene outside the window, August's fingers slid unconsciously on the tablet.

No one can be alone.
