The Security Guard Who Won the Heart of the Unattainable Actress - Chapter 4
Chapter 4
In the security office, Li Guang stood dejectedly. Next to her, Chai Ning was trying his best to hold back laughter, and in front of her were four tall and muscular men.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, big brothers. I am truly sorry,” Li Guang said with a sincere voice, one by one apologizing and taking out ointment for them from the first aid kit. “I really didn’t know you were Teacher Ran’s bodyguards.”
Ran Mingyue was also at the side. Her eyes had a hint of a smile, but when she heard the address, the smile disappeared, and her lips were pressed straight again.
Li Guang’s heart was filled with dread. She wouldn’t have to pay for it, would she?
What should she do, having beaten up the award-winning actress’s bodyguards?
That 0.2 yuan transfer was a constant reminder to Li Guang of how hard up she was right now.
Her phone had no password. Who knew that a cat’s paw could step on it and send out that transfer? Li Guang was so ashamed she wished she could die.
And the cat that started it all was already walking with its cat-like steps into the complex, who knows where to play.
Since the transfer, Ran Mingyue hadn’t said a word.
Li Guang didn’t dare to make a sound either, nor did she have the courage to look at what expression Ran Mingyue had.
The pervert was caught by her and was taken away by the police.
Ran Mingyue’s agent, Shang Wenya, went to the police station to give a statement. Ran Mingyue said she wanted to go home, so she came in with them.
That’s when Li Guang found out that the four men who were with Ran Mingyue were not her companions but rather her personal bodyguards who had deliberately changed into plain clothes to follow her.
Their goal was to lure that male fan out.
No one expected a powerful whirlwind “Lu Daiyu” to appear out of nowhere, catching everyone off guard.
Although the result was the same.
“Young lady, you’re quite strong.”
The four beaten bodyguards had no intention of blaming Li Guang. They just roughly applied some ointment to their faces and said, “You… you… you’re very suited for our line of work.”
Li Guang was very embarrassed and grateful that these big brothers were not holding it against her. She finally put down the pieces of the empty bottle. When she wasn’t trying to scare people, Li Guang was a gentle and soft bundle, with no hint of aggression.
Surrounded by these big bodyguard brothers, she looked like the one who needed to be protected.
But since Ran Mingyue still hadn’t said a word, Li Guang still had no idea what was going on.
Had Ran Mingyue already figured it out?
Had she found out that her excuse about helping a relative was a lie? Why didn’t she ask why I transferred her that 0.2 yuan?
What happened outside the complex was no small matter. Property Manager Li and Liu Limin had both come over. Li Guang had planned to tell Ran Mingyue that she was just helping Captain Liu if she asked.
But Ran Mingyue… she didn’t ask a single question, not a single word!

Li Guang usually never overthinks, but now all her thoughts were focused on Ran Mingyue’s reaction.
But what she was more concerned about was—
“Will I be docked pay?” Li Guang asked Chai Ning cautiously in a low voice. “Brother Chai, if they do dock my pay, can they pre-deduct it from next month’s salary?”
Chai Ning was trying very hard to hold back his laughter. He saw that everyone was trying to hold back their laughter.
This young girl was too adorable. Who would want to dock her pay?
“Don’t worry. Let’s wait until Captain Liu gets here.”
“Teacher Ran! Teacher Ran, were you startled!”
Outside the door, Liu Limin rushed in anxiously. “Xiao Chai, get some tea! Teacher Ran, let’s talk inside.”
When she met Liu Limin’s gaze, Li Guang immediately stood at attention, to show that her attitude was correct.
The four beaten bodyguards were gritting their teeth, but as they walked past Li Guang, they gave her a look of approval: Join us! Become one of us! Replace us!

She didn’t look left or right, not even blinking when Ran Mingyue walked past her.
It wasn’t until Ran Mingyue entered the inner room that Li Guang, as if she had no bones, slumped onto the seat like a wet, soft noodle. At the same time, she let out a trembling sigh of a rookie in the workplace: “Brother Chai! Will I… not… get my salary docked?”

“No, you won’t.” Chai Ning consoled her. “Captain Liu is a good person. They usually don’t dock pay for the first mistake. Maybe you can go and beg Teacher Ran not to hold it against you.”
Li Guang wailed, “Teacher Ran, please! Teacher Ran! Please! Please—”
“Actually, you’ve done a great service this time,” Chai Ning paused. “If you hadn’t hit the wrong four bodyguards, you would have at least gotten a banner for a brave citizen.”
Li Guang’s mood rose and fell with Chai Ning’s words. Watching the reward that she should have gotten drift away, Li Guang banged her head against the wall: “Teacher Ran, please don’t hold it against me, sob sob sob…”
The wall was thinner than paper, and the soundproofing was virtually nonexistent.
Liu Limin, who was talking business inside, heard Li Guang’s wailing outside, and his temple throbbed.
He looked at Ran Mingyue, who was now expressionless.
“Brother Chai, it’s a good thing you brought out this first aid kit. Thank you for helping,” Li Guang said with a troubled expression. “I can’t even afford…”
No money, really no money. When she brought these people back, even the ointment was kindly given to her by her colleague.
Liu Limin felt ashamed in his heart. Tsk, this honest kid…
“Teacher Ran, I’m really sorry about your bodyguards. Xiao Li didn’t know; it wasn’t on purpose, and she has apologized. So, you see…”
“They’re all fine.” Ran Mingyue understood in her heart, and she never intended to blame Li Guang.
“No problem! What’s this?” The big bodyguard brothers had been with Ran Mingyue for a long time, so they naturally understood their boss’s intentions. “This Xiao Li is really good. We didn’t even notice her when she came out. She was like a whirlwind, and that young man couldn’t break free at all.”
Ran Mingyue thought for a moment: “Captain Liu, there will be a reward, right?”
“Yes! Of course, there will!” Liu Limin was prepared to use the excuse that Li Guang’s good deed would make up for her mistake if Ran Mingyue pursued the matter, but he didn’t even need to.
Ran Mingyue said, “Okay, let’s do that then.”
She needed to get out of there quickly.
If she didn’t leave, she would burst out laughing in front of this group of people, and she would have no dignity left.
When the inner door opened, the soft noodle-Li Guang instantly straightened up, standing ramrod straight with a serious face.
She didn’t see that everyone’s faces were suppressing a smile.
“Captain?” she asked expectantly.
Liu Limin first took out a stack of wrapped bags and placed them in Li Guang’s hand. “Here, your work uniform. They arrived early today, so I brought them over for you.”
Huh?
Happiness!
Li Guang immediately forgot about her gaffe and took the bags happily. When she looked up, she saw Ran Mingyue’s half-smile, and a string in her brain was heavily plucked.
Hiss—
She’s exposed.
She was exposed before she even started to pretend.
Li Guang guiltily shifted her gaze and stood to the side with a wooden face, playing dead. When she was walking with Captain Liu to see Ran Mingyue off, she shouted loudly and clearly with him: “Have a safe trip, resident!”
Ran Mingyue walked home. She didn’t look back, but after a few steps, she couldn’t hold back. Thinking about Li Guang’s dramatic expressions, she finally let out a muffled laugh.
Why was she so cute, just like she used to be?
…
After returning, Captain Liu put a red envelope in Li Guang’s hand: “Xiao Li, this is your reward.”
Li Guang: “Wow!”
Liu Limin smiled and patted Li Guang’s shoulder. “This is a bonus for being a brave citizen. It’s not a lot of money, but do a good job!”
Inside, there were three hundred yuan in cash, which was enough to get her through her immediate financial crisis.
This money was exactly what Li Guang needed most right now.
She was so lucky. Every time she needed something, she got it right away.
Li Guang was so happy about this that she completely forgot to explain the situation to Ran Mingyue.
She also selectively ignored the transfer notification, hoping Ran Mingyue would just think she was being silly for a moment.
Because Ran Mingyue didn’t look for her.
Li Guang didn’t know Ran Mingyue’s next plan, but she went to the security office to cover her shift after dinner and specifically paid attention to the surveillance cameras in Area A. Ran Mingyue hadn’t left the house.
The next day, Li Guang went to the cafeteria for lunch. The moment she entered, all the security guards cheered.
“Here comes Xiao Li, the brave citizen!”
“Come, come, come, sit! Sit in the center seat!”
As Li Guang walked through, people greeted her and even made a space for her. Even the cafeteria lady gave Li Guang an extra scoop of meat.
Only the main character was confused. She walked to the middle of the crowd. Chai Ning beckoned her over, humming “da da da da,” and like a magic trick, pulled out a banner. “Congratulations, you’ve become famous in one go. You’re now a model soldier for brave deeds. Captain Liu asked me to give you this.”
Li Guang’s face turned red as she accepted it. She unrolled it, and the four big characters “Brave Citizen” were written on it.
A large red background with golden embroidery. It was a classic and elegant design.
It was her first time winning an award!
“Captain Liu gave it to me?”
Chai Ning said, “Of course, the resident gave it to you! This is a thank-you banner. Look closely.”
Li Guang looked closely and, sure enough, it said “Donated by Ran Mingyue” in the bottom right corner.
Li Guang’s eyes brightened, and her round eyes became beautiful crescent moons. She rolled up the banner and treasured it, her good mood making her eat an extra bowl of rice.
Chai Ning said, “We have a small meeting to go to after you eat. You need to come too.”
“No problem.” Li Guang enjoyed the early winter sun, sitting in the chair in the security office, repeatedly taking out the banner to admire it, then hanging it on the wall and taking several pictures.
Then, she chose a picture of herself with the banner from what she thought was the best angle.
Li Guang’s desire to show off reached its peak. She was a woman of action, so she immediately posted it on her social media.
When she exited, someone liked it in seconds.
Sun Star Three Missing One has liked your post
Li Guang’s gaze froze.
The next second, her phone vibrated, reminding her again.
Sun Star Three Missing One has received your transfer of 0.2 yuan
The vibration continued.
Sun Star Three Missing One: Li Guang, do you have time now?
Li Guang calculated the time. The meeting was in only fifteen minutes. Ran Mingyue was looking for her. She didn’t know what for, but she loved her job, so she couldn’t leave her post without permission.
Lu Daiyu: No
“Lu Daiyu: Righteously.jpg
Sun Star Three Missing One: I need to talk to you. The four slaps my employees got yesterday…
Lu Daiyu: Teacher Ran! I am completely free! I’ll find you after 1:30 PM!!!
What’s wrong!
Did Ran Mingyue now think she should take the banner back? No!
No!
She waited for a while, but other than the constant “typing,” no words came out. Li Guang was confused by Ran Mingyue’s actions.
What did she mean?
“Xiao Li, let’s go! The meeting is about to start!”
“Oh! Coming, coming!” Li Guang was still looking at her phone. She finally saw the message from Ran Mingyue right before entering the meeting room.
Sun Star Three Missing One: I can’t transfer money with my bank card. I’ll give it to you in person. Let me know when you’re done this afternoon.
It was only two cents, only two cents!
Tears were already streaming down Li Guang’s face. Teacher Ran was too strict.
