Once, Lin Yi had a dream, which was to be kept by a rich woman.
From then on, he would have no worries about food and drink, and he would just live like a bum, being a useless person.
Now, his dream has come true.
Although he is not a useless person, he is no different from a useless person.
"Come, get up slowly."
Sonoko struggled to help Lin Yi up from the bed and supported him to get out of bed.
However, Sonoko found it very difficult to support Lin Yi by herself. The weight of 70kg pressed on her, making it difficult for her to even stand still. She staggered a bit.
The bodyguard next to her quickly grabbed Lin Yi from the other side and said, "Miss, let me do it."
"No need, I can do it myself."
Sonoko waved her hand, refusing the other party's kindness.
Laboriously adjusting her posture, Sonoko supported Lin Yi, step by step, leaving the bedroom.
"You're so heavy," Sonoko complained, "Why don't I usually think you're so heavy?"
"I'm at a standard weight… not heavy," Lin Yi said weakly, "Usually you're pressing on me, and the gravity is distributed. Now you're supporting me, and the center of gravity is different, so it feels difficult."
"Hehe…"
Sonoko looked up and glanced at Lin Yi, saying happily, "Even now, you're still in the mood to tell dirty jokes."
"No way, this is my bad habit, I can't change it." Lin Yi smiled faintly.
"I say… are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?" Sonoko was already feeling very strained supporting Lin Yi before they even reached the corridor.
"Do I look like the kind of person who can't afford to lose? Accepting defeat gracefully is my guiding principle in life." Lin Yi didn't have much strength, so he spoke softly, which sounded a bit lazy.
Sonoko really liked his tone.
Arriving at the staircase leading to the first floor, Sonoko stopped. She pursed her lips and said, "We should get an elevator installed… otherwise, every time I help you downstairs, we have to go through this dangerous area… Be careful."
Sonoko tried to take a step down, but Lin Yi's weight was too much for her.
As soon as her foot landed, Lin Yi's weight made her body fall to the side, and she had trouble even standing still.
The bodyguard next to her stepped in again, grabbing Lin Yi and sharing the weight on Sonoko.
"I told you, I don't need your help." Sonoko glared at the bodyguard who had helped.
The bodyguard didn't say anything, just silently let go, clearly used to Sonoko's bad temper.
"Hey, hey, Sonoko. Don't force yourself."
Lin Yi looked at Sonoko struggling to support him and said, "If you don't hold me steady in a moment, we'll both roll down from here… Injury is secondary, rolling down like this will damage my handsome image. Let your bodyguard help me."
"Even at a time like this, you're still thinking about your image?" Sonoko chuckled, but agreed with his suggestion: "Sorry to trouble you, Captain Suzuki."
"You're welcome, Miss."
Captain Suzuki took Lin Yi from Sonoko's hands. As expected of a professional bodyguard, he easily supported Lin Yi with one hand as they went downstairs.
"I feel much more at ease going downstairs like this, no need to worry about suddenly slipping and rolling down…"
Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Captain Suzuki: "Your surname is Suzuki too? What's your relationship with Sonoko?"
Sonoko said, "What? Want to get on good terms with my bodyguard captain so it's easier for you to escape?"
"I do have that idea." Lin Yi nodded, not hiding it.
"Then good luck." Sonoko not only didn't stop him, but even encouraged him to do so. She said, "Captain Suzuki is my father's bodyguard, his loyalty and reliability are top-notch."
"I don't know if his loyalty is top-notch, but I can say for sure… his reliability isn't top-notch." Lin Yi chuckled softly.
Looking at his cheeky smile, Captain Suzuki knew what he was talking about, mocking them for not being able to stop him alone.
This made Captain Suzuki's face twitch, and he said somewhat angrily, "That's because Miss said we couldn't hurt you. That's why we held back."
Lin Yi shook his head slightly and said, "Held back? If it was just one or two people, I might believe it, but you were all beaten down by me… Do you think that's convincing?"
"You…"
Captain Suzuki was a little angry, he couldn't even get a verbal advantage.
"Captain Suzuki, this guy is a detective, and a very clever one." Sonoko reminded, "Be careful not to let him provoke your emotions."
"…"
Being pointed out by Sonoko, Captain Suzuki finally realized there was a problem.
Those who work as bodyguards basically do their job with their lives, protecting their employers with their lives. It can be said that it is a job where they hang their heads on their belts.
And one of the qualities that must be possessed to engage in this kind of work is calmness.
As an old bodyguard with many years of experience, he was actually disturbed by the other party's emotions in just a few words.
No wonder Miss would go to such lengths for him.
Captain Suzuki secretly exclaimed in his heart.
Seeing that his scheme had been seen through, Lin Yi didn't care, he continued, "Captain Suzuki, you were personally assigned by Chairman Suzuki, so do you need to report Sonoko's whereabouts to Chairman Suzuki one by one?"
Captain Suzuki didn't speak, he had already made up his mind that no matter what Lin Yi said, he would pretend not to hear it.
Since he didn't answer, Sonoko answered for him: "Probably… but not to my father, but to my mother."
Sonoko smiled: "My father loves me more, so he doesn't care about me much. But my mother won't do, she always says that as the heir of the Suzuki Group, I must pay attention to my image."
Speaking of this, Sonoko sighed: "Honestly, I don't want to take over the Suzuki Group, there are so many things to manage, it's so troublesome."
Lin Yi said, "You should be content… I don't know how many people envy you and wish they could exchange identities with you."
Sonoko asked, "Then what about you? Would you envy me?"
"No."
Lin Yi said without hesitation, "I just want to be a beautiful man quietly, and then have a few girlfriends… and live my life plainly like this."
Sonoko laughed happily and said, "Although I'm embarrassed to say it, I can now tell you for sure… your dream can only be half realized!"
"The latter half?"
"It's the former half."
