The Security Guard Who Won the Heart of the Unattainable Actress - Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Ran Mingyue’s warning voice rang out, but Wen Yingzhi was not afraid at all. Holding the pitiful little cake, even in high heels, her skills as a Kunqu Opera performer still allowed her to move like the wind.

Li Guang mumbled, “I’ve only seen one cat, a chubby calico, but it didn’t have curly fur.”

“Don’t listen to her nonsense.” Ran Mingyue was utterly helpless and angrily walked out from behind Li Guang, trying to grab the cake box, but Wen Yingzhi wouldn’t let her.

A poor choice of friends.

Wen Yingzhi knew a little secret of hers and was being so smug, it was really annoying.

“This doesn’t look like something a cat would eat,” Li Guang muttered again.

“Yeah, this is not cat food at all, but she wants me to give it to a cat, so what can I do?” Wen Yingzhi looked at Ran Mingyue.

Li Guang also looked at Ran Mingyue, “So what can we do?”

Ran Mingyue saw her expectant eyes and the pitiful way she tried to hide her stomach.

“…Are you hungry?” Ran Mingyue asked Li Guang, “If you’re hungry, can you help me eat it?”

“I’m starving!” Li Guang cheered happily, taking the small cake, “Thank you, Teacher Ran.”

She naturally assumed that Ran Mingyue had bought the small cake herself.

She quickly opened the cake box. The first bite made her eyes squint in satisfaction.

It was so, so, so, so delicious!

Wen Yingzhi scoffed.

“Are you stunned? Do you want to get a cat?” Wen Yingzhi lowered her voice, leaning close to Ran Mingyue’s ear so that Li Guang, who was immersed in the delicious cake, couldn’t hear.

The cold, detached feeling around Ran Mingyue was completely gone. When she looked at Li Guang and Li Guang wasn’t looking back, Ran Mingyue’s eyes were gentle, like a blooming garden in spring, quietly and unnoticed.

Li Guang took two big mouthfuls, stuffing her cheeks. She tucked her baton under her armpit to eat more easily.

She wiped the cream from the corner of her lips and said, “Teacher Ran, I’m going to work now…”

Ran Mingyue took a step forward, but stopped after just half a step. In the twilight, she watched that cat—that little girl—leave happily.

Wen Yingzhi gracefully walked over to Ran Mingyue, her tone light, “Are you crazy?”

Ran Mingyue retracted her gaze, untied her hair, and looked down at a subtle cream stain on her rolled-up sleeve. Just as Wen Yingzhi thought she wouldn’t reply, she spoke, “Is this what being crazy is?”

It felt good, she could keep it up.

“Teacher Ran! Teacher Ran!”

Li Guang ran back, panting. Ran Mingyue was stunned for a moment, looking at the person standing in front of her.

“I forgot to pay you!” Li Guang put her hand into her pocket and took out a red RMB note.

Wen Yingzhi burst out laughing.

“You don’t need to pay,” Ran Mingyue reminded her, “Didn’t you transfer me two cents?”

“But compared to this, my two cents are insignificant,” Li Guang was very embarrassed, feeling that she had taken a huge advantage.

In just a few steps, Li Guang had already eaten half the cake. She said, “It’s so good! The filling is caramel and taro, my favorite.”

“Is that so?” Wen Yingzhi let out a strange sigh, “Caramel taro, oh—”

She was a Kunqu Opera singer, and her voice was beautiful and melodious, even when she was being so quirky.

“It’s okay, keep the money yourself.” How could Ran Mingyue possibly take Li Guang’s precious hundred yuan? She gently pushed her hand away, her fingertips touching Li Guang’s palm. Her voice paused, “You helping me eat this is you helping me.”

“Next time! I’ll definitely treat you to a meal next time!” Li Guang said, “When I get paid.”

Ran Mingyue said, “Okay.”

That was the sentence she had been waiting for.

When Li Guang was about to leave, Ran Mingyue asked, “Is it enough to fill you up?”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Li Guang nodded quickly, and with that, they made their agreement.

Wen Yingzhi said, “You really are crazy.”

But Ran Mingyue no longer paid attention to her.

…

The little cat, Li Guang, who loved to record things, returned to the security office and finished the small cake all by herself. She felt her back was no longer sore, her legs no longer ached, and she was full of energy for the upcoming night shift.

She felt like she could work for three days and three nights straight!

Fortunately, after midnight tonight, no one left or came back.

Li Guang slept soundly in the inner room and was not woken up, even having a sweet dream.

At 6 a.m., Li Guang woke up. She felt very hungry and wanted to eat that cake from yesterday again.

Did she have to ask Ran Mingyue for it?

Li Guang briskly handed over the shift to Chai Ning, who couldn’t help but sigh, “It’s great to be young…” She was still not tired after an all-nighter, and her skin was still smooth and radiant.

Li Guang did one last patrol and came back to put her baton away.

Actually, Zone A was not her assigned area, but she was now in the habit of taking a stroll there.

Li Guang was still looking for that little cat.

A curly-haired cat… Was her memory playing tricks on her? Li Guang genuinely remembered that little calico was just a normal straight-haired cat.

“Brother Chai, have you ever seen a curly-haired cat?” Li Guang asked, “Yesterday, Teacher Ran’s friend was looking for a curly-haired cat. It’s a stray, and they seem to have been feeding it.”

“A curly-haired cat? Isn’t that a fancy breed kept by city folk? How could it be a stray?” Chai Ning had never seen a curly-haired cat in the residential area. He was silent for a while, then looked at Li Guang’s hair, which was fluffy again after she woke up, “You seem to be the only one with curly hair in this place.”

Li Guang: “Huh?”

“I’m leaving,” he yawned, “I’m going to catch up on sleep.”

It must have been a joke. She wasn’t some stray little cat.

“Go back and rest. Remember to attend the meeting this afternoon. You absolutely cannot be late for this one.”

At noon, Li Guang woke up on time, even earlier than her alarm.

Because she was going to wear her new uniform!

Although it was just a regular security uniform, it was a symbol of her work, a sense of belonging!

Some people look good in anything they wear, and that was Li Guang. Even in a uniform, with the hat pulled down neatly, she exuded a compelling, dashing aura.

As long as her face wasn’t showing.

Without makeup, Li Guang’s features were bright and pure, and her lips were naturally pink and tender. At first glance, her bright eyes and white teeth were striking. She was like a soft piece of rice paper that had yet to be painted on.

Clear, and innocent.

Looking into her eyes, one couldn’t help but feel their heart soften.

She had never had a falling out with anyone and was more like a soft dumpling. Her naturally curly long hair was tied into a braid at the back for convenience.

Li Guang swung her braid as she went to the assembly.

Along the way, she received many compliments, saying she looked very professional in the uniform.

Chai Ning said, “Don’t wear it, if you wear it, how are we supposed to live? Why do we look so ugly in it, while you look like you’re wearing haute couture?”

Another colleague chuckled and said, “Didn’t you yourself say that Li has a celebrity look? A celebrity can look good even in a sack. You can’t compare with her!”

“Exactly. When we wear a security uniform, we look like security guards. Little Li is different. When she wears a security uniform, she looks like a professional bodyguard.”

“No, no!” Li Guang was flattered and embarrassed, but she was also very happy with her new outfit, a joy that came from wearing new clothes.

With all the compliments from her colleagues, Li Guang got a little carried away.

She had been wearing casual clothes when she met Ran Mingyue a few days ago. Today… The production team was holding a meeting for the guests, and Ran Mingyue would definitely be there, right?

She wondered if Ran Mingyue would recognize her.

Li Guang imagined what Ran Mingyue’s expression might be and felt it was… quite something to look forward to.

“Let’s go, assembly.”

“Okay!” Li Guang answered, slurping the last piece of vegetable. But she looked at the time. It was a quarter to 3:30, so Li Guang was not in a hurry.

Instead, she went to the mirror by the sink and tidied herself up again, then pulled her hat low, feeling like she had transformed into a dashing female police officer from the 1980s.

Li Guang: Hehehehe.jpg

The prerequisite was to manage her expressions and not turn herself into a meme.

Li Guang entered the property management building and climbed two flights of stairs. Before she could enter the door of the internal security meeting room, the door to the large conference room next door was suddenly pulled open.

“You can film whatever you want!” Jiang Qiaoye said angrily, and walked swiftly toward the fire escape.

What a temper…

Li Guang was at a loss for a moment. As Jiang Qiaoye passed her, she instinctively moved to the side.

A cameraman followed, trying to grab Jiang Qiaoye, but Jiang Qiaoye impatiently waved him away.

The cameraman’s body swayed, and Li Guang immediately remembered her banner. The four words “Courageous and Righteous Model” were practically etched into her DNA. She reached out to help the cameraman, “Be careful.”

She was slightly bowed, and the camera only showed a part of her straight nose and her perfectly shaped lips.

The cameraman was stunned.

“Sorry, sorry!” Chai Ning quickly pulled Li Guang into their internal meeting room and whispered, “Don’t go there. The production team is filming, you’ll disturb them.”

“Oh,” Li Guang was in a daze for half a second. She realized that this might be Jiang Qiaoye providing dramatic material for the show’s editing. Although Li Guang hadn’t been on many variety shows, the routines were all similar.

Shows needed hype and explosive moments. With the cooperation of professionals, the production team would even provide a script for the opening.

Nowadays, people enjoyed watching others argue and have conflicts.

“But these big stars have really bad tempers,” Chai Ning said with lingering fear, “It’s so difficult to serve celebrities. They have a lot of money and a lot of demands. Just now, I heard the table being slapped several times next door. I don’t know what they were fighting over.”

After a moment of thought, Li Guang said earnestly, “Teacher Ran is quite nice, isn’t she?”

“That’s true, but Teacher Ran is taking care of us, after all, we’re in the same residential area. The others…”

“Bam!”

Liu Limin slapped a stack of documents on the table. “This is the staff arrangement for the show. Those who are here for the meeting will be doing security work. Everyone, familiarize yourselves with the procedures.”

You Run, I Chase, You Can’t Escape Even with Wings (hereinafter abbreviated as You Run) is a large-scale survival variety show with a total of six episodes, which will be broadcast live simultaneously on Apple TV. The fixed guests are: Ran Mingyue, Xiang Que, Wen Yingzhi, Jiang Qiaoye, Song Suoqi, and Hua Yuzhi.

Note: There will be temporary guests.

The first three episodes are scheduled to be filmed in the Xiyuan villa area. The production team will arrange for staff to set up the scene in Zones A-D from December 1st to December 5th overnight. The first episode will be filmed on the 6th. Thank you to all the staff in the villa area for their cooperation and understanding of the production team.

The filming time for each episode varies from 1 to 3 days depending on the difficulty. Due to the live nature of the show, all security personnel may be on camera. Specific details will be announced later. Thank you for your cooperation!

Li Guang put down the arrangement form and couldn’t help but say “wow” in her heart.

It really was an all-star variety show… There were movie queens and kings, singers, variety show personalities, Kunqu Opera performers… None of them were small fries, except for Hua Yuzhi, whom Li Guang didn’t recognize.

She had heard of the others, whether she had been in the industry or not.

No wonder they said they were difficult to deal with. Such a big-name show meant they had to be handled with extreme care.

It was already the 1st today, and the production team was really working hard, setting up the scene on the spot and working through the night.

Liu Limin said, “In addition to the personal security for each guest during the filming, we also need a head on-site security officer. Who wants to sign up?”

The 24 people in the room looked at each other, and no one raised their hand.

Except for Li Guang.

Just as she was about to raise her hand, Chai Ning covered it.

“Don’t do that!” Chai Ning explained, “To put it bluntly, the head security officer is a jack-of-all-trades. They have to go wherever they’re needed, and take care of all the guests’ needs while also listening to all the instructions. Do you understand? It will kill you! Listen to me, be a slacker, and you’ll be happier at work.”

Li Guang immediately heard the warning and put her hand down.

“Li Guang.”

“Here!” Li Guang answered by reflex, and then found that all eyes in the room were on her.

Liu Limin smiled and looked at her, “Do you want a promotion and a raise?”

Li Guang shouted, “Yes!”

“Do you want to be a team leader?”

Li Guang said loudly, “Yes!”

“Good, this is a great opportunity for you to train. You’ll be the head security officer!”

Li Guang clenched her fist, “Thank you, Team Leader!”

The next second, Li Guang’s reason came back to her. She asked, “Team Leader, what did you say?”

Liu Limin said earnestly, “Let me tell you about your next job. Based on the guests’ personal circumstances, and your previous experience of being a model for your righteousness, how about we arrange for you to be Ran Mingyue’s personal security?”

Hearing the name Ran Mingyue, Li Guang was completely awake.

“No!” Li Guang slammed the table, “I’m not going to be Teacher Ran’s personal security.”

Before Liu Limin could ask Li Guang why, there was a knock on the door, and the ajar door was gently pushed open.

Ran Mingyue stood at the door.

Her gaze went straight to Li Guang.

“Sorry to interrupt,” Ran Mingyue’s mouth curved slightly, but the smile was worse than not smiling at all. Her voice was a little cold, “Li Guang, could you come out for a moment?”
