Just liking is not enough

, "I'll go back tomorrow, and I'll pick someone to take my place."

After speaking, he left without looking back.

67. Chapter 3 ([-])...

After Mi Xiu said "I will find someone to replace me", he immediately packed his luggage and moved out of the Lal family.

When Xifa walked slowly from the garage into the hall, he saw the butler rushing to tell him about Mixiu's departure.

Xifa opened his mouth. For some reason, Mixiu didn't leave, and he was panicked. This time Mixiu left, he still felt uncomfortable, and this discomfort has a tendency to continue to expand outward.

The housekeeper observed Xifa's expression, saw that the young man was silent, thought that the two were arguing again, so he tried to persuade him.

"Master, although Mi Xiu is always in charge of you, he is indeed an excellent candidate to protect you."

Xifa raised his eyelids, his clear eyes filled with dissatisfaction, "Is there no one in our family? Do we have to rely on O'Milly?"

"Master!"

The butler was taken aback, and almost reached out to cover Sifa's mouth with his hand, "What nonsense are you talking about! The Lal family has been able to maintain the fourth place, thanks to the help of the O'Merry family."

Xifa pursed his lips, knowing that he was speaking too seriously, but his chest was stuffy and he had nowhere to vent, so he rubbed his hair irritably.

"Brother Kai has plenty of capable people around him. There is no shortage of Mixiu. It's good to get a new one."

Xifa dropped this sentence, turned around and left, leaving the housekeeper standing still.

He's an old man, and he doesn't know what young people are thinking now. He only knows that this is probably the worst quarrel between Xifa and Mixiu in the past two years.

Alas... I just hope that nothing will happen during Mi Xiu's absence.

That afternoon, people from the O'Merry family who said they were coming to replace Mixiu arrived.

The other party had a short-shaven head, an elite face, a serious smile, the corners of his mouth were pursed down, and he was wearing black clothes and trousers, giving him a chilling aura.

Sifa stood in front of him and looked at him, and he also looked at Xifa.

When those gray eyes looked at Xifa, for some reason, Xifa felt uneasy.

Originally thought it was just a matter of changing a bodyguard, but found that the reality was far more difficult than I imagined.

Protecting oneself means that one must trust the other party wholeheartedly. At this time, Xifa realized that he could not trust the person in front of him at all. Compared with Mi Xiu, he seemed to have never doubted his loyalty.

Thinking of Mixiu, Xifa couldn't help but his face darkened. He changed people so quickly, and it seemed that he was eager to leave.

Xifa gritted his teeth secretly. After all, he was the heir of the dignified Lal family, but he was disgusted by that stupid Mi Xiu like a plaster... Is he really so annoying? !

The other party showed his identity card and identification to the housekeeper, and the housekeeper invited him in.

The man stretched out his hand to Sifa, "My name is Stan, and I will be solely responsible for your safety from now on, Master Sifa."

Xifa reached out to shake his hand, but felt that the other's palm was cold, so he just shook it hastily and then retracted.

"please."

Xifa nodded politely, turned and left from the hall.

The butler helped Stein organize the room and luggage. In the evening, Stein came downstairs to eat, and Sifa was sitting at the dining table, biting the spoon while absent-mindedly in a daze.

When Starn sat down, he coughed, as if to call his attention.

"Stan." Sifer blinked and looked at him sideways, "Is the room satisfactory?"

"Very satisfied, Master Sifa." Starn nodded his thanks. Although he wanted to show his kindness in his gestures, it still seemed unnatural.

Xifa watched secretly, thinking: Maybe he is not the only one who feels strange, and the other party feels the same way.

Thinking of this, the somewhat bewildered mood calmed down, and he assumed the appearance of a master.

"In the future, if you have anything to do, just ask the housekeeper. You can also assign members of the family at will. After dinner, I will take you to see the other bodyguards."

"Okay." Stein picked up the knife and fork, and began to eat quietly.

The time for dinner passed quickly, and Xifa thought to himself, what was it like eating with Mixiu before?It seems that the two started arguing from the moment they got to the table until they finished eating.

After thinking about it, he had already taken Stein to another yard.

"The people who live here are all members of the protection family." As Xifa said, someone came out of the room, and they stood up straight and saluted Xifa.

"Master Xifa!"

Sifa smiled and turned to introduce Stein.

Those bodyguards had long been accustomed to Mi Xiu's action instructions, and the secret codes and secret orders were also set by Mi Xiu. At this moment, they suddenly changed people, and they all looked at each other in dismay.

"Mixiu..." Xifa coughed, pretending to be calm, "He won't be back for a while, Stein is my new guard, the candidate to replace Mixiu."

Some bodyguards frowned quietly, but didn't say a word.

Stein's gaze swept across every face sharply, as if he was recording something. After a while, he put his hands behind his back and raised his jaw slightly.

"I'm Stein. Please follow my instructions if you cooperate in the future. Those who violate the orders will be punished."

After finishing speaking, he added, "Our purpose is to protect Master Xifa."

Xifa looked at him in surprise, feeling that he seemed different in front of her than in front of these people.

Some displeasure appeared on the faces of the bodyguards, but they still responded imposingly, "Yes!"

……

Soon, Stein became familiar with everything about the Lal family, and it only took two short days.

Xifa was secretly surprised, but Stein's ability to handle affairs was really not to be challenged, so he was nervous from the beginning, but he gradually relaxed.

During these two days, Stein re-worked out the guard plan.

The people who take Xifa to and from school are changed every day, and they have to report to Starn every day for all actions of Xifa, including the classmates he contacts.

Sifa's actions at home, the places he used to go to every day, and what he did were also organized by Stein into a document and file, which was stored in the computer. He even checked the background of Xifa's teachers and classmates.

Xifa had an inexplicable illusion, as if he was being watched rather than protected.

This feeling was even more unacceptable to him than Michaux's family-style management, so finally, a week later, Xifa discussed with Stein at the dinner table.

"Can you not be so tight?" Xifa asked while eating, "I heard that you want bodyguards to sneak into the school recently?"

"I just want to protect you more comprehensively." Stein said neither humble nor overbearing.

Xifa pursed his lips, "Of course I know your intentions, but this... this has already hindered my life."

Stein remained calm, "All the reports were directly fed back to me, and I also reminded the bodyguards to keep a distance from you during the protection process."

Xifa frowned slightly, and the displeasure in his heart began to rise.

"You should know why Mi Xiu was replaced."

Stein suddenly shut up.

"Don't you know?"

Sifa raised an eyebrow.

Stein was silent for a while, and said, "Mi Xiu didn't mention this matter."

Xifa pouted, and said after a while, "I replaced him because he cared too much."

As he said that, he glanced at Stein, "If you continue like this, I have to change another one."

Stein's face darkened, but he quickly compromised.

"Follow your orders, Master Sifa."

Since that dinner, Stein's actions have obviously slowed down, and many guard plans have also been withdrawn.

Sifa felt a lot more relaxed.

But this relaxation is only one aspect. On the other hand...that is, in what Xifa called his own life, his tension has not been buffered.

The reason is...his former friends, including Lilia, haven't talked to him for a long time.

The scene where Mi Xiu suddenly appeared at the birthday party seemed to have caused quite a shock to them.

The mouthful of "Master Xifa" and the expensive gift made them suspect that Xifa was hiding something.

So before Xifa was willing to be honest, they kept a distance from him as if they couldn't see him.

Xifa almost imitated Mixiu's tone and said, "Are you milk babies!"

But it's just a thought.

In fact, Xifa is trying to get close to Lilia and his former friends every day, the young master of the dignified Lal family, for the sake of his own life circle, he has no airs and pride of an heir.

"Lilia..." During the lunch break, Xifa still came to Lilia's desk and tried his best to say good things.

Lilia glanced at him with her big beautiful eyes, and then looked back at the other companions.

"It's not that I don't want to talk to you." Lilia lowered her voice and said softly but helplessly, "They don't want to talk to you, you know, you betrayed our trust."

Xifa pursed her lips, "I know."

"Then you still don't want to say it?" Lilia frowned slightly, "Who are you?"

"I..." Xifa moved his throat and blurted out a sentence, but he swallowed it back, "I...can't say..."

Lilia's face was displeased, but she still said in a moderate tone, "Is it a very secret matter?"

"For me yes..." Sifer sighed.

Lilia stared at him for a while, then shrugged helplessly, "Well, since you can't tell, we can't be friends with a mysterious person."

Xifa was taken aback for a moment, and saw Lilia stand up and go to the rows behind.
