Chapter 4: She Wants to Sneakily Protect the Bodyguard

[Host, please don’t break character in front of the villain!]

Bumpy looked at the villainous big boss leisurely eating breakfast, trembling in fear.

This is a world of heartthrobs, where everyone must like the female lead due to the world rules.

This explains why the original owner was easily deceived and continuously acted foolishly, becoming the female lead’s growth experience pack.

But in the entire world, there is one exception!

That’s the villainous big boss, Gu Chuan!

Not bound by the world rules, proving his danger level.

With Bumpy’s limited authority, it can’t find more information. Its only job is to remind the host to maintain their character and follow the plot—don’t provoke the villain!

Jiang Mi curled her lips slightly, her face showing reluctance. “No, I love black coffee.”

Gu Chuan raised his eyelids and agreed, “Alright.”

Jiang Mi, feeling hopeless, said, “Thank you.”

Seeing Jiang Mi’s lively expression, Gu Chuan’s lips curled into a faint and subtle smile. “You’re welcome. Meeting the young lady’s requirements is my duty.”

Jiang Mi: “…….”

She silently pushed the black coffee further away, even further.

Gu Chuan glanced at it but said nothing. After finishing his breakfast, he cleaned up and put the dishes away in the kitchen.

Jiang Mi had a sudden idea. She quickly drank a few sips of black rice porridge, then poured the black coffee into it, stirring it to make it look authentic.

Hearing footsteps behind her, Jiang Mi thought about how the original owner always prepared several kinds of breakfast and felt guilty. “You’re out so soon?”

Gu Chuan’s gaze fell on the rippling black rice porridge, his deep, magnetic voice seemingly tinged with a hint of amusement.

“Miss, take your time. I’ll go prepare the car.”

“…….”

So, why did she sneakily pour the coffee into the black rice porridge? Wouldn’t it be better to pour it straight into the sink!

Bumpy looked at the villain’s retreating figure and wanted to tell the host that the villain was deliberately being difficult!

But it didn’t dare!

Oh no!

The villain is so scary!

After breakfast, the production team called, urging her to hurry over for important matters to discuss!!!

“Heartbeat Minutes” is broadcast in a live recording format, where guests live closely together in the Heartbeat Villa, creating sparks of love.

The show is scheduled to be recorded for a whole month, with live broadcasts on weekends. On weekdays, guests can attend to their own work, but they should try to return to the Heartbeat Villa to sleep at night.

Speaking of sleeping…

The production team has really outdone themselves.

Tsk, drama, excitement, and a battlefield.

Jiang Mi, thinking about the plot, casually grabbed the large, heavy suitcase and headed downstairs. Suddenly, she felt a cold, assessing gaze and her heart skipped a beat.

The original owner was a delicate young lady; carrying a handbag was the heaviest thing she ever did. She certainly couldn’t lift this suitcase.

With a snap, she calmly set down the suitcase.

She raised her smooth, delicate arm.

Arrogant and spoiled.

“It’s all your fault for being so slow, making me carry such a heavy suitcase. My arm is sore!”

Gu Chuan’s voice was low and hoarse, “How does the young lady wish to punish me?”

Her beautiful eyes sparkled with mischief as she glanced at the man’s firm and powerful arm. “Punish you by carrying me~”

Gu Chuan’s gaze remained steady as he looked at her. “Are you sure, Miss?”

Jiang Mi’s pretty eyes flashed with cunning. “Of course, I’m sure. Or are you going to disobey my orders?”

Gu Chuan lowered his gaze, his eyes dark and obscure. “I wouldn’t dare.”

As the tall, cold man leaned in closer to Jiang Mi, she was suddenly enveloped by the intense, scorching scent of his hormones, causing her waist to go soft.

Then, the man’s firm, warm arm supported the woman’s… buttocks.

The sudden feeling of weightlessness overwhelmed her, and the only point of support was Gu Chuan’s arm. Instinctively, Jiang Mi wrapped her arms around his neck, her delicate body naturally curling into his embrace.

When her palm was tickled by the man’s short black hair, Jiang Mi finally realized, “One-handed hug?”

Gu Chuan used his other hand to grip the suitcase handle and strode out, as if to demonstrate that he could only carry her with one arm.

As he walked, Jiang Mi’s entire body uncontrollably trembled, her voice both coquettish and embarrassed. “Wait a moment!”

Gu Chuan paused his steps, his voice somewhat subdued. “What’s wrong?”

Jiang Mi looked down at his chiseled profile from above, her heart fluttering. She softened her voice, showing a lack of resolve. “I’m just a bit scared.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t drop you,” Gu Chuan assured.

Jiang Mi blushed and responded with an “Oh.”

She wasn’t actually scared—Gu Chuan’s strength made her feel secure. The embarrassment came from the fact that it was quite shameful for him to be holding her in such a manner.

Jiang Mi gave a soft, embarrassed murmur and hugged Gu Chuan’s head tightly.

Gu Chuan’s steps faltered slightly, his breath coming a bit harder, and his ears felt strangely warm.

Upon reaching the car, Jiang Mi awkwardly jumped down from Gu Chuan’s arm, her delicate and weak figure nearly causing the silver butterfly on her ankle to break its wings.

She hurried into the backseat, frantically searching for a blanket.

However, the original owner was a cleanliness fanatic in front of Gu Chuan. The car had to be spotless and organized, with no clutter.

Thus, there was no blanket.

“What is the young lady looking for?”

Jiang Mi’s eyes focused on the silver high heels, feeling as if she still retained the roughness and warmth of the man’s palm on her ankle. Clearing her throat, she said in a muffled voice, “A blanket.”

The atmosphere was quiet for two seconds before a rustling sound emerged. Gu Chuan’s coat then draped over Jiang Mi, covering her completely.

“Make do with this, Miss.”

“Mm.”

Feeling the faint scent of tobacco from the coat, Jiang Mi couldn’t help but feel like a little quail.

“Bumpy.”

[Host, host?!]

“My heart is racing so fast. Is this what love feels like?”

Jiang Mi had traveled through thousands of worlds, always on missions involving slapping faces and punishing villains.

She had only seen others experience love but had never felt it herself.

Bumpy knew this, so it didn’t believe Jiang Mi when she said she was attracted to the villain.

But now, looking at the blushing, emotional woman, Bumpy was suddenly panicked!

Love is fine, but falling for a villain is not!

[No!!!]

[The villain is a bodyguard; serving you is his job!]

Jiang Mi bit her lip, suddenly repulsed by the term “bodyguard.”

Bumpy continued to argue.

[The villain treated the original owner the same way—waking her up every morning, preparing her bedtime milk, even taking her to the hospital in the rain at midnight…]

“Stop.” Jiang Mi interrupted Bumpy unhappily. “I’m tired and need to rest. You go play with other systems.”

[Mimi, stay clear-headed!]

Disconnecting from Bumpy’s mental link, Jiang Mi sank into the darkness of her own thoughts.

Jiang Mi was certain that there was no romantic involvement between Gu Chuan and the original owner. But she had to admit that hearing about Gu Chuan’s care for the original owner made her a bit envious.

At the same time, she felt a bit embarrassed. It seemed she had been a bit delusional. Gu Chuan’s attention to her was just part of his duties as a bodyguard; he didn’t have any feelings for her.

But then again, she had just arrived in this world. It was normal for the villain not to like her.

How many couples experience instant mutual attraction?

Most start with a slow build-up of feelings.

Realizing this, Jiang Mi happily snuggled into the man’s coat and then closed her eyes to sleep.

Gu Chuan watched as the woman, who had been moving restlessly, finally settled down and played some soothing, gentle music.
