Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu, the two girls, couldn't eat much. Before Lin Yi came, they would leave more than three-quarters of the food. However, to ensure a balanced diet, Uncle Fu still prepared four dishes and one soup, or at least three dishes and one soup every day.

No matter how skilled a chef is, it's impossible to make a dish with too little food. It would be hard to control the heat and the balance of the seasonings. Therefore, to maintain the taste, the dishes were prepared in normal portions.

After a few bites, Chu Mengyao found the meal tasteless. In the past, when Lin Yi wasn't around, she and Chen Yushu would chat about interesting topics while eating, and a meal would take more than half an hour. Today, for some reason, her mind kept replaying the scene from last night when Lin Yi stood up for her at the bank.

Is this guy a fool or really serious about his job? It's not necessary to risk his life for a few ten thousand yuan, right? Although Chu Mengyao didn't know where her father found such a guy, her dislike for Lin Yi seemed to have diminished.

Could it be because he saved her yesterday? Fine, I'll keep him around for now. It's not bad to have someone as a bodyguard.

"I'm full." Thinking about how she had treated Lin Yi, making him eat the leftovers, she felt it was a bit too much.

"What's wrong? Yaoyao, why are you eating so little?" Chen Yushu looked at Chu Mengyao in surprise. She had only taken a few bites of the greens in front of her.

"Nothing, I'm just a bit tired." Chu Mengyao shook her head. "I'm going upstairs. You call Lin Yi to eat with you."

"Ah?" Chen Yushu was taken aback. What's going on with Chu Mengyao?

Chu Mengyao felt a bit annoyed. The person she hated the most had saved her yesterday, and now she was trying to show a bit of kindness, but he was acting so high and mighty! Humph, if he doesn't want to eat, fine, I won't eat either. You can eat or not, I don't care.

Chen Yushu watched Chu Mengyao's tired and weary back, blinking her eyes in confusion. Could it be that she was still scared from last night? No, it's been a day and a night, her reaction is a bit too slow, isn't it?

Chen Yushu put down her chopsticks and ran to Lin Yi's room, knocking on the door. "Hey, Arrow Brother, come out to eat!"

Lin Yi opened the door and looked at Chen Yushu. "You called me?"

"Would I call Chu Mengyao 'Arrow Brother'? In this villa, you seem to be the only one who can be called 'Brother,' right?" Chen Yushu slapped her forehead. "Oh, I remember, there's also General Wu, Dog Brother..."

"..." Lin Yi was speechless. Comparing him to a dog?

"Come on, let's eat. I'm starving." Chen Yushu walked towards the dining room.

Lin Yi looked at the dining room but didn't see Chu Mengyao. He followed Chen Yushu into the dining room, puzzled. "Where's the young miss?"

"You mean Yaoyao? She said she wasn't hungry and went upstairs after a few bites." Chen Yushu pointed to the seat Chu Mengyao had just occupied. "Sit down and eat quickly. The rice is already served for you."

"Okay." Lin Yi looked at the table and saw that the rice was indeed already served in front of him. Since Chu Mengyao had gone upstairs, Lin Yi didn't need to be polite. Although Chen Yushu was a bit mischievous, she wasn't too much trouble.

Chen Yushu watched evilly as Lin Yi picked up the chopsticks, took a bite of the dish, and mixed it with the rice in his bowl. She was delighted and clenched her fists under the table.

Yes! I'll tell Yaoyao later that I helped her get revenge. Yesterday, she had to eat Lin Yi's saliva, and today, Lin Yi used her chopsticks and ate the rice she had already taken a bite of, so now they're even.

"Slow down, here's some water for you." Chen Yushu handed Lin Yi the orange juice.

"Thanks." Lin Yi, reminded by Chen Yushu, felt a bit choked and took a few sips of the orange juice. He suddenly realized something was off. "This orange juice..."

"Oh, Chu Mengyao drank a few sips and left. I was afraid it would be wasted, so I gave it to you." Chen Yushu looked at Lin Yi innocently. "By the way, you won't mind, right? You won't go and rinse your mouth and vomit, will you?"

"Okay." Lin Yi responded expressionlessly. Although he knew Chen Yushu was doing it on purpose, it didn't bother him. Back in the primitive forest, all the iron tools were used as weapons, and only a set of utensils was left for everyone to share. Lin Yi had already developed this kind of mental resilience.

Besides... a beautiful woman's saliva isn't something everyone can taste. Maybe if Chu Mengyao spat, Zhong Pinliang would lick it, Lin Yi thought evilly.

Seeing that Lin Yi didn't react much, Chen Yushu was a bit disappointed. But then she suddenly remembered that she had also taken a sip of the orange juice earlier. That means... Chen Yushu blushed.

But after being diluted by Chu Mengyao's saliva, it shouldn't have anything to do with her, right? Chen Yushu comforted herself. Yes, that must be it.

"Hey, Arrow Brother, I'm thirsty. Get me a glass of water!" Chen Yushu, who had eaten a bit salty, instructed Lin Yi.

"Do it yourself." Lin Yi continued eating without lifting his eyes.

"Handkerchief... TV..." Chen Yushu coughed twice.

Lin Yi rolled his eyes. Is she treating this as a secret signal? He got up reluctantly to get water for Chen Yushu, thinking that she had been considerate enough to think of him while eating, so he put up with it.

If Yang Huaijun knew that he was serving two young misses every day, he would probably laugh out loud.

He poured a glass of water for Chen Yushu, knowing that her cup was the pink one from the morning, so he did it easily.

"Thanks, Arrow Brother." Chen Yushu took the cup from Lin Yi and said sweetly.

Lin Yi didn't say anything and continued eating. Chen Yushu thought that if she acted cute, Lin Yi might be more willing, but it seemed that Lin Yi found the braised chicken on the table more attractive than her.

In fact, Lin Yi wasn't blind. How could he not be moved by a beautiful woman in front of him? But he was here to complete a mission. This was just a brief encounter, and after the mission, everyone would go their separate ways, perhaps never to meet again. Lin Yi didn't want to form too many emotional ties.

Moreover, he was sent by Chu Pengzhan to accompany Chu Mengyao to school. If he were to get involved with her best friend, that would be too despicable.

Although Lin Yi still didn't understand what Chu Pengzhan wanted him to do for Chu Mengyao. To find a book boy or a bodyguard, there was no need to bring him from so far away. Anyone could do the job, dealing with opponents like Baldy and Zhong Pinliang, who were low in intelligence, made Lin Yi feel speechless.
