Pick Up a Killer as Girlfriend

"Xiaofan, I, Ouyang Xiong, owe you another favor, oh no, this time, if it weren't for you, I would probably be dead. What I owe you is a life," Ouyang Xiong said to Xiaofan with lingering fear.

"No, Brother Fei has such great skills, I was just being redundant at the time," Xiaofan said modestly.

"Hey, to be honest, I didn't even notice those two people at the time. But really, who had the guts to actually make a move against you, Brother Xiong? No way, I have to personally interrogate those guys."

"No need to ask, everyone actually already has a hunch. Xiaofan, you should have realized it earlier, right?" Ouyang Xiong asked calmly.

"Yeah, it's probably the same group as the ones who were discussing cooperation just now, very simple logic. If the contract was successful, then everything is fine, but if the cooperation failed, taking action against Brother Xiong is the best way. At that time, if Brother Xiong's side is in chaos, they can seize the Sichuan Road territory, and even annex this place. So, they deliberately caused trouble downstairs and arranged for someone to assassinate you. In such a confined space, it's hard not to succeed. It seems like you'll be busy in the future." Xiaofan's explanation was very clear.

After hearing this, even Fei felt a bit scared but had an added respect for this young brother in front of him.

"Alright, I should clock out now." Looking at the time, it was not early anymore, and it was time to settle the bill and leave.

"Clock out? Clock out from what?" Fei asked curiously.

"I'm just a temp worker here. I'm still studying, I have classes tomorrow morning," Xiaofan said matter-of-factly.

"I'm the boss. Did I say you can clock out? Besides, I haven't properly thanked you yet, how can you just leave? Come back, come back. Honestly, this kid, Fei, go, get two cases of beer up here." Obviously, Ouyang Xiong was reluctant to let this talent go easily.

"I'll go get it," Xiaofan said, standing up.

"Sit down. What's the difference who gets it?" Clearly, Fei didn't want this young brother to leave so quickly. If he could stay, that would be the best.

Was it due to courtesy? Or a bit of envy for the camaraderie between them. Xiaofan surprisingly didn't insist on leaving.

He sat down and pulled out his phone to send a message to Shen Zuimo at home to assure her he was safe. It was already early morning, she must be worried.

What is brotherhood? Sitting together, drinking and bragging, even if there are any verbal disagreements, it will all be forgotten the next day.

Xiaofan drank, and although it was just beer, he felt dizzy after three glasses.

"Hey, Xiaofan, from tomorrow, oh no, from now, you are the manager of Star Moon Bar. Look, don't say I'm stingy, only giving you the position of a manager. After all, you are a newcomer, it's not appropriate to let you rise in rank all at once, right? But don't worry, with your ability, you'll definitely become a dominant figure one day."

As it turns out, the previous manager was let go by Brother Xiong in a fit of anger because he neglected his duties to flirt while on the job. It was just the right chance for Xiaofan to take over.

"Don't, Brother, I just want to take my hundred bucks temporary job salary and go home. I still have class tomorrow; where would I find the time to be a manager for you?" Xiaofan's eyes were unfocused, and his speaking had a slightly incoherent feeling.

"Hey, your salary for tonight is doubled, here, this is three hundred bucks, including your overtime pay. Tomorrow, come to work here at ten o'clock, and I'll let you clock out at two in the morning. I'll give you a monthly salary of six thousand bucks, plus a five percent bonus of Star Moon Bar's monthly profits. It's much better than working odd jobs." Ouyang Xiong knew that Xiaofan working was definitely because he needed money, so he offered Xiaofan a very tempting deal.

"Brother Xiong, what did I do to deserve this..."

"Hey, it's settled then; it is indeed late. Fei, take Xiaofan back, remember, come to work at ten tomorrow morning." Ouyang Xiong said, stuffing several hundred-yuan bills into Xiaofan's pockets.

Although he said it was three hundred, it was probably no less than a thousand in there. Ouyang Xiong knew that to continue developing, he must have talents around him, and now it's no longer the same brawling society it used to be; using one's brain is a better path.

Xiaofan, in a daze, left the bar with Fei accompanying him, riding his bike home. Originally, Fei wanted to personally drop him off home, but Xiaofan didn't want anyone to know that there was a Shen Zuimo at his place, so he could only muster the courage to return by himself.

His mind was not completely muddled, but Xiaofan really didn't like drinking because he got drunk too easily, and once drunk, his mind would be unclear, unable to think properly. Xiaofan hated that feeling.

Supporting himself to stay clear-minded, he arrived at his doorstep, and as he opened the door, he suddenly collapsed. He felt his eyelids heavy with sleep, his body tired and unwilling to move, unwilling to get up, just wanted to rest for a while, just a while...

In a daze, Xiaofan felt his body being supported by something soft, making him feel light as a feather, very comfortable. The softness supporting his body was accompanied by a faint fragrance.

"How did you end up this drunk? And even got hurt?"

"Hmm? Zuimo? It's okay, I went to work, accidentally... Don't worry, I won't let you starve, absolutely not. With me here, I will strive to give you everything you want, everything you desire."

Drunken confessions? It turned out she was so important to this young man.

Shen Zuimo knew she was moved, irresistibly moved by him. She gently held this young man in her embrace, allowing him to lean on her as comfortably as possible.

Shen Zuimo wasn't actually a materialistic woman; she just thought earning money for herself wasn't difficult, which could save Xiaofan some worries. But unexpectedly, it inadvertently hit this guy.

Inside Xiaofan's room, the lights were somewhat glaring.

Shen Zuimo intended to turn off the lights, but she was held tightly by this guy, unable to move. It was hard to tell if he was really drunk or pretending to take advantage of her.

Suddenly, Shen Zuimo lowered her head slightly and softly kissed Ye Xiaofan's forehead, then left quickly. Even she felt a bit shy from this action.

Though she couldn't know immediately what exactly happened tonight, his sporadic messages kept reassuring her time and again.

But his bad habits never seemed to change. For instance, his restless hands.

Just as Shen Zuimo was about to close her eyes for a brief rest, she felt this guy's restlessness.

Change, change, change, change...

Accustomed to resting in pajamas, Shen Zuimo was completely unguarded at the moment.

"You..." Shen Zuimo was both shy and angry. Although they often messed around and his sneak attacks were not uncommon, this time felt more intense than any other, especially since she could clearly feel his breathing and heartbeat.

The problem emerged; Shen Zuimo hesitated, should she get up and leave or quietly lie next to him, not sure what to do.
