After Being Forced Into a Facial Paralysis, the Villain Said I’m Such a Drama Queen - Chapter 28.2

Hearing this, Sheng Xia’s eyes showed some hesitation, which she immediately covered up. “I usually start studying at night.”

Since she put it that way, Lu Wanxing didn’t ask further, only giving a few words of advice. “Even though your foundation is good, you still need to review more, you know?”

“Yeah.” After speaking, Sheng Xia seemed to feel a bit guilty and ran out quickly, then played the game Snake in a corner. There were cameras everywhere in the villa. Lu Wanxing didn’t care when she accidentally discovered her playing. However, that night, when she passed by Sheng Xia’s room and heard the sound of gaming inside, she frowned slightly.

The next day, A-Biao found Sheng Xia on the swing in the garden. Having never counseled anyone before, he momentarily lost his words. He dryly called out “Xiao Xia” and then had no follow-up.

“Brother Biao, did you come here for something?” Sheng Xia covered her phone and the note together, feeling relieved. She had almost been caught by A-Biao while secretly memorizing knowledge points.

In A-Biao’s eyes, this behavior meant Sheng Xia was afraid of being caught playing games. He was truly worried because A-Si’s younger brother also played games until his grades plummeted, making his parents worry themselves to death.

“Have you been playing games all the time lately and not studying properly?” This blunt tone made Uncle Li, who was not far away, frown immediately. Such counseling might only trigger a rebellious phase. Sure enough, Sheng Xia just pursed her lips and didn’t speak when she heard it.

A-Biao stood there, looking very stiff. Without waiting for Sheng Xia’s response, he just left a sentence and ran off: “Play fewer games, you hear?”

Once he ran to a corner, A-Biao’s cold face instantly collapsed. He wailed, “Uncle Li, I can’t do this!” If it were A-Si’s brother, the solution for playing games too much would be to just hit him. He didn’t know how to persuade someone to study hard!

Uncle Li patted A-Biao’s shoulder and said earnestly, “Young people will be young people. This matter still needs me, Uncle Li.” When the Eldest Miss came over and asked him to supervise Sheng Xia’s studies, Uncle Li felt overjoyed. Although the Eldest Miss had said with a cold face that she just didn’t want the people around her to not even be able to get into a university, Uncle Li knew she was “sharp-tongued but soft-hearted.”

Let this glorious and arduous task be handed over to him! He must let the Eldest Miss know what a reliable person Uncle Li is!

The reliable Uncle Li went, and then the reliable Uncle Li sat next to Sheng Xia and got tangled up in her words.

“Uncle Li, actually… actually, I’m thinking of giving up on the university entrance exam.” Hearing this, two people frowned in disapproval.

“Why? I heard the Eldest Miss say before that you wanted to apply for University A.” Seeing that Sheng Xia had reached the point of not wanting to take the exam, Uncle Li steadied his tone and continued, “Isn’t this your dream?”

Sheng Xia put her phone aside. “Before, I wanted to go to university because I thought knowledge was money, and getting into a good university would lead to better employment.”

“But now that I’m working as a bodyguard for the Eldest Miss, I’m very happy every day, and the salary is high. I’ve already reached my expectations. Why do I still need to go to university?”

Uncle Li said, “After going to university, you can make more friends and see a wider world. Besides, you can’t be a bodyguard for the rest of your life, right? You have to plan for the future.”

Sheng Xia lowered her head and looked at the grass at her feet, kicking it lightly. “I don’t want to make that many friends. The ones I have now are enough.”

This stubbornness made Uncle Li a bit anxious. He said, “Xiao Xia, if you don’t study like this, you’re wasting the time when you need to strive the most. How heartbroken would your parents be if they saw this?” Uncle Li thought that if his own daughter were like this, he would already find it hard to breathe just by imagining it.

He had originally wanted Sheng Xia to think more about the people around her, but then it immediately occurred to him: if Sheng Xia’s family were well-off, how could they agree to let the child run out to work right when she was about to take the college entrance exam? His heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, he saw that Sheng Xia looked somewhat sad, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes.

“They won’t care about me. They only think about how much money they can sell me for. If I don’t study, they should be very happy.”

Uncle Li: “!!!” Danger!

He saw A-Biao signaling frantically from not far away. A-Biao shrugged to indicate there was nothing he could do. Uncle Li could only dryly change the subject. “Being with the Eldest Miss requires not just being able to fight, but also being somewhat cultured. Don’t look at how reckless A-Biao is; he’s actually a graduate of a prestigious school.”

Every bodyguard in the villa was good at many things. He thought that since Sheng Xia liked it here, she would definitely want to improve herself to have more common topics. He didn’t expect Sheng Xia’s eyes to get even redder, as if she misunderstood that Uncle Li was saying they wanted to kick her out.

“If…” Sheng Xia’s voice paused, “If the Eldest Miss doesn’t want me anymore by then, I’ll see.” Saying this, she forced a smile. “I understand now, Uncle Li. Thank you. I have something to do, so I’ll go first.”

Her smile looked worse than crying, which made Uncle Li’s lips tremble as if he were about to faint. Xiao Xia, what do you understand? Uncle Li doesn’t even know what he was saying!

He ran over to A-Biao, and after looking at each other, they both crouched in the corner and thought hard, not understanding how things had turned out this way. Why is the task given by the Eldest Miss so difficult!!!

Lu Wanxing, who had watched the whole process: “…” It was her fault. Her fault for trying to have them handle things.

After returning to her room, Sheng Xia breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn’t expected A-Biao and Uncle Li to be so concerned about her studies. She almost couldn’t keep up the act earlier. “Luckily I left quickly, otherwise I would have slipped up.” It truly made Sheng Xia feel a bit guilty to deceive honest people.

But thinking of her plan, she apologized to Brother Biao and Uncle Li in her heart and then started studying. However, as her gaze caught the Chinese textbook, Sheng Xia became a bit lost in thought, hiding away her most secret idea without telling anyone.

Da-Hu and Er-Wen were very happy when they went home, thinking about having made a good friend. Thinking that if they were to work in a convenience store, their overly flamboyant dyed hair might scare the customers, they restrained the urge to rush to Sheng Xia’s side to work. They went to work elsewhere to save money, dyed their hair back, and tidied themselves up.

After dyeing their hair black, Da-Hu and Er-Wen looked much more handsome and refined. At least, passersby wouldn’t instinctively dodge them after seeing them. Once they got the pennant for their courageous act, Da-Hu felt full of energy, as if he could carry a cow. “Let’s go, help the Boss move goods!” In order to see Sheng Xia in the most decent way, they had very restrainedly not gone to look for her.

Although Er-Wen was more reserved, his eyes were also filled with anticipation. But when they arrived at the convenience store and found that the person had changed, they couldn’t help but be confused. “Did the Boss change shifts?”

“Maybe. Let’s wait a while.” They used to hang around here before and knew when the convenience store would change shifts. It was almost six o’clock now, so they sat directly on the stairs on the other side and waited. They then imagined whether the boss would hire them directly. After having money, they wouldn’t have to share one piece of bread between two people, and they could even find girlfriends.

They waited and waited, and when they found that the person at the convenience store was closing the shop, they became anxious. “Hey, aren’t you a 24-hour convenience store?”

“Shouldn’t there still be a girl coming to take over the shift?” Da-Hu gestured somewhat frantically. “She’s very thin, has very fair skin, is very strong, and can take down people with one punch.”

Realizing who they were talking about, the guy said, “Oh, Sheng Xia? She changed jobs.”

Da-Hu and Er-Wen felt like they were struck by lightning. Their first thought was that Sheng Xia thought they were annoying and would rather change jobs than have them sticking to her. Da-Hu couldn’t help but almost burst into tears. “Er-Wen, the Boss is gone.” For a moment, he even felt some guilt. It’s not easy to find a job now; by driving her away, where could Sheng Xia go?

Er-Wen was silent and didn’t answer, his heart also sinking to the bottom. Then he pretended to be strong. “It’s fine. If she’s gone, she’s gone. We’re leaving too.”

Da-Hu didn’t move. “But I really want to be friends with the Boss.” When Sheng Xia agreed to come save Er-Wen, he had decided to follow her for the rest of his life. And clearly, she hadn’t had that kind of attitude last time.

Er-Wen pursed his lips, finding Da-Hu’s hair more and more annoying to look at. He hit him once and then asked the guy somewhat fiercely, “Do you know where she went?”

Seeing them ask, the guy took a letter from his pocket and gave it to Er-Wen. “Here, Sheng Xia gave me a letter before she left and told me to give it to you if I saw you.”

Da-Hu’s snot was sucked back halfway, and he instantly froze. “You had a letter for us and didn’t say so earlier!” It made him shed tears for nothing.

The guy was speechless. “You guys didn’t give me a chance just now.”

Er-Wen had already opened the letter. The two of them leaned together to see what words Sheng Xia had left for them, only to find that there was also more than two hundred yuan inside the envelope—the money Sheng Xia had taken from them before.

“I told you the Boss wouldn’t leave us behind.” Er-Wen’s expression instantly turned from cloudy to sunny, and he felt wonderful counting the money.

Da-Hu wiped his snot on Er-Wen’s clothes. “That’s not what you said just now.”

Er-Wen blushed a bit but still stubbornly said, “Get lost, don’t get my clothes dirty!” He would have to take them back and wash them ten times before wearing them to see the Boss.

Just as the two were about to go back, a car suddenly appeared in front of them. After some conversation, they were taken away. Then, on the second day, Sheng Xia looked at the two simpletons in front of her with a look of surprise.

Da-Hu/Er-Wen: “Boss!”

“Why are you two here?”

Da-Hu: “Brother Biao hired us two as bodyguards! We can work together from now on!”

Er-Wen continued, “It’s just that he said our cultural level needs to be improved and asked you to help us with tutoring every day.”

Sheng Xia frowned, suddenly thinking that this couldn’t be a study supervision machine called in by Brother Biao, could it? To tutor Da-Hu and Er-Wen, she herself certainly couldn’t not study. It was truly a good idea to get her back on track.

But… was this really just Brother Biao’s idea?
