The Security Guard Who Won the Heart of the Unattainable Actress - Chapter 19.1
Chapter 19.1
Li Guang was a good kid. She would seriously consider every one of Ran Mingyue’s suggestions.
“Okay!” Li Guang thought to herself, what’s this for a kitten? “I’ll go back and change now. Wait for me.”
Li Guang was a whirlwind of action. She immediately jogged outside, shoving the umbrella into Ran Mingyue’s hand without taking one for herself.
Ran Mingyue called out, but it was too late. Li Guang ran fast, like a little rabbit. All she was missing was a little tail.
If she had had this drive back when she was still an artist, she might have become a big star.
Li Guang had great potential. She just needed some opportunities. Ran Mingyue had also thought about helping Li Guang, giving her the opportunities she needed, but, in the past two years, Li Guang had never come to her, not even once.
Thinking about this, Ran Mingyue felt a sense of loss. She knew that she had never truly entered Li Guang’s inner world.
Were she and Li Guang not even friends?
“Meow~”
The little calico cat let out another lazy meow from the bushes. It turned its head and looked at Ran Mingyue, its eyes seeming to say in disdain: You foolish human, you need my help!
Ran Mingyue: “…”
A cat is also looking down on me?
But this cat brought Li Guang, so Ran Mingyue forgave it.
The little calico cat turned its neck arrogantly, as if it was about to leave.
“Don’t go. Someone is waiting for you.”
Li Guang was still on her way to change. This suggestion was her own. If Li Guang came back after changing and found that the cat was gone, wouldn’t she be the culprit?
The little kitten swaggered out and came in front of Ran Mingyue, not afraid of people at all. Then it started eating the cat food.
Ran Mingyue held the umbrella for it and deeply realized what a “cat master” was.
After eating most of the cat food, the calico cat directly bit the cat treat in her hand.
Ran Mingyue: “…” This cat is quite clever.
“Sister Mingyue! I’m back!”
Ran Mingyue turned around. Li Guang had already rushed in, out of breath. The two rabbit ears were swaying in the air. She had really changed into that rabbit-ear suit. The fluffy ball stood in the rain.
After running all the way, Li Guang’s face was flushed from the exercise. She looked even more like a rabbit.
“Meow!”
Before Ran Mingyue could speak, the little calico cat meowed and, with a strong tug, took the cat treat from Ran Mingyue’s hand. It quickly ran past Li Guang, giving her a look as if she were a fool.
“…”
Ran Mingyue and Li Guang looked at each other.
Li Guang arrived, and the cat was scared away.
Ran Mingyue said, “The cat…”
“It’s okay. It’s fine. It’s already eaten the cat food and cat treats. It won’t be hungry. It might come back next time,” Li Guang said, comforting Ran Mingyue in return. A cloud of white steam came out of her mouth.
Ran Mingyue walked closer to Li Guang and carefully looked at Li Guang’s outfit. The more she looked, the more restless her heart became.
She guessed that Li Guang hadn’t had time to watch the video Ji Yuan posted yet.
She had run all the way and was soaked in the rain. Her outfit was basically useless, but this rabbit suit was too perfect for Li Guang.
Li Guang’s… tail. No, this was a rabbit’s tail.
What “my girlfriend loves it,” what “my boyfriend even took the next day off work,” what “I love that tail the most,” and what “that little tail can be used for many functions to play with.”
These comments from Ji Yuan’s video kept scrolling in front of Ran Mingyue’s eyes like aerial subtitles as soon as Li Guang appeared.
“Let’s go inside. It’s cold outside.” Ran Mingyue lightly coughed twice to hide her embarrassment, restraining her urge to pinch the rabbit tail. “Your clothes are all wet. Go inside and dry them.”
“Inside? I… I’m not going in.” Li Guang hesitated and shook her head. “I’ll just run back to the dorm to change. I’m all damp now. Sister Mingyue, stand back a bit.”
“What, you’re still afraid of me?” Ran Mingyue reached out and took Li Guang’s wrist. “Come on. I’ll help you dry them. You’ll catch a cold later.”
As soon as Ran Mingyue’s body touched hers, Li Guang’s brain started to crash. She had never known how to refuse Ran Mingyue, so she just followed her inside.
It must be that Sister Mingyue’s dryer is so good! Li Guang told herself this in her heart.
“Sister Mingyue, don’t use the dryer. It’s not wet inside. I’ll just use a hairdryer.”
It was a waste of electricity to turn on a dryer for just one outfit. Li Guang, a master of frugality, would not allow waste.
Ran Mingyue gave her the hairdryer. “Do you need help?”
Li Guang turned on the hairdryer and grabbed her rabbit ears in front. “I can do it myself.”
“Okay. I have some more cookies here. Do you want me to bake them for you later? I can’t eat them all anyway. Do you want some?” Ran Mingyue said. “It would be a waste if you don’t.”
“I do!” Li Guang’s happiness was overflowing. She was so easy to please.
And so, Li Guang was at Ran Mingyue’s home again, on the sofa again, and in the familiar spot, drying her clothes and eating cookies.
Li Guang said from the bottom of her heart, “Thank you, Sister Mingyue!”
Ran Mingyue replied, “If you really want to thank me, then treat me to a meal.”
“But…” Li Guang knew her wallet was empty. After deducting her living expenses, she could probably only treat Ran Mingyue to a meal at a normal food stall.
She owed Ran Mingyue a meal. She was supposed to treat her yesterday, but something unexpected happened. Li Guang was troubled about how to tell Ran Mingyue. Then a video call invitation from Ji Yuan appeared on her phone.
Huh?
Ran Mingyue noticed Li Guang’s pause and also heard the video call invitation from her phone. She walked behind Li Guang, took the hairdryer from her, and said softly, “You make the call. I’ll help you dry.”
Li Guang pressed “answer.”
“Li Guang!!! My dear Li Guang!!!!!” Ji Yuan almost roared. His face immediately moved closer to the camera. “Haven’t you seen the video I posted, my friend????”
Li Guang was startled. For convenience, she turned the camera around so only her sitting posture could be seen.
“I’ve been busy. I haven’t seen it yet.” Busy eating cookies, busy playing with cats.
Ji Yuan immediately recognized her. “Hey, you’re wearing that outfit again? That’s right. This outfit and your work uniform should be glued to you from now on. They’re your battle uniforms, I’m telling you!!!”
“Ji Yuan, what are you talking about?” Li Guang said. “I don’t understand what you mean.”
“It went viral! The video we shot went viral,” Ji Yuan’s voice was excited. “The views have already exceeded one million. The money from the views isn’t much, but I’ll transfer all of it to you later. Two thousand yuan!”
“One… one million?” Li Guang was so dumbfounded. She forgot that there was someone behind her and stood up in shock. “Two thousand?!?”
She felt a tug and only then realized that Ran Mingyue was still behind her. She turned her head to apologize, and Ran Mingyue said softly, “It’s fine. It’s easier to dry when you’re standing up.”
Ran Mingyue knelt on one knee on the sofa, seriously drying Li Guang’s rabbit ears from behind, as if she hadn’t heard Li Guang on the phone. The fine fluff rubbed against her palm. It felt like more than just her palm was itching.
Li Guang herself didn’t know that due to her sudden standing motion, her clothes were pulled down a lot and were about to fall off.
She was wearing a white mohair sweater underneath with a square neckline. The beautiful lines of her collarbone and shoulders were all exposed. Her skin was so radiant.
“What are you, a thief? Why aren’t you facing the camera?” Ji Yuan was so immersed in his viral happiness that he didn’t notice Li Guang wasn’t in the security office at all.
“Views aren’t worth much. I’ll transfer the money to you now.”
Li Guang roared in her heart: Two thousand! Two thousand is a lot!
“But a client contacted me. It’s about the rabbit outfit you’re wearing. They want to collaborate with you,” Ji Yuan said.
Li Guang thought for a moment: “No. You know I’ve already quit…”
“One hundred thousand,” Ji Yuan said. “We’ll split it. You don’t have to show your face.”
Li Guang asked with a blank face, “What are we waiting for? When are we signing the contract?”
“I’ll let you know after I finalize it. I could only get this ad because of you,” Ji Yuan said with a smile. “Okay, get your money.”
Ji Yuan was quite fast. He hung up the phone and transferred the money not long after. Li Guang happily received two thousand yuan, fully enjoying the sweet smell of money at this moment.
“Sister Mingyue, I have money to treat you to dinner now! Let’s go!” Li Guang said. “I made a video with a friend and earned some money. He transferred it to me.”
Made a video with a friend?
Ran Mingyue, who knew the answer, asked, “What video?”
“A normal… uh, a normal video. A product endorsement video.”
How could Li Guang be embarrassed to say it was a suggestive video? She was about to turn around to talk, but Ran Mingyue said, “Don’t move.”
Li Guang froze. She was a little nervous. The treatment of having Ran Mingyue dry her clothes for her was something she would never have dared to imagine before…
Her thoughts were drifting when she suddenly felt her clothes being gently tugged from behind.
Huh?
Why…
The area that was being tugged was impossible to ignore. Li Guang turned her head and found that Ran Mingyue was pulling her rabbit tail, concentrating on drying it.
“…”
Li Guang felt a little awkward. When she wore this outfit before, she had never paid attention to this rabbit tail.
It was just a small fluffy ball. In Ran Mingyue’s hand, it looked even more miniature. At this moment, the little rabbit tail was being lightly pinched by Ran Mingyue, who occasionally turned it over to look at the tiny gaps, trying to dry it completely.
Oh my God.
Li Guang was almost blushing.
Isn’t it just drying a rabbit tail? Why am I thinking such strange things?
Ran Mingyue’s fingers were long, beautiful, and nimble.
For the first time, Li Guang saw aggression in someone’s fingers.
Even though she had never been in a relationship, she was a twenty-something adult. Li Guang’s mind still wandered to dirty thoughts.
Stop thinking!
Ran Mingyue seemed to be completely unaware, fully focused on dealing with that little tail.
If it weren’t for the serious expression on Ran Mingyue’s face, Li Guang would have thought that Ran Mingyue was intentionally playing with it so affectionately.
But she had been in one position for too long and finally couldn’t help but move awkwardly. Ran Mingyue’s hand… It didn’t even touch her body at all, so why did she feel so uncomfortable?
“What’s wrong?” Ran Mingyue quickly noticed Li Guang’s small movement and asked.
Li Guang lied, “My butt is hot.”
“But if I turn down the temperature, it will take much longer to dry.” Ran Mingyue said. “Then I’ll turn down the temperature a little.”
Li Guang said, “No, no, no! Just be quick. Ah, I mean…” She couldn’t explain herself now. Li Guang’s face was flushed.
A smile flashed in Ran Mingyue’s eyes. She held back her laughter and said, “I know. Just bear with it. It will be done soon.”
Cough.
Now it’s not just my butt that’s hot. My whole body feels hot. Did Ran Mingyue turn on the heater too high? Did I come to summer?
Ran Mingyue, despite teasing Li Guang, also sighed in her heart. The heat on her ears probably wouldn’t go away for a while. It was a good thing Li Guang couldn’t see.
