29. You start this so swallow it

"Don't throw tantrum at me, you're not a child anymore that can make the mission like a child's play, I know it bores you, but you should also know that Old Master Yu give you this mission because of Xinghe, be mindful of your behavior, what if Xinghe gets the shorter end of the stick because of what you have done? Do you think the people here will forgive you? You cannot do things you can do in the past because everything changes when you did the bidding of letting Xinghe gets in this battlefield, you start this so swallow it." Si Wen said his piece and leave.

What Si Wen said wakes him from his anger and immediately think of possible things that could happen because of his pettiness. Si Wen is right, he cannot let Xinghe gets the shorter end of the situation since he is the very reason why Xinghe is part of the mission, he wants Xinghe to learn things and experience real life situation in hacking. He suggested to Old Master Yu that Xinghe should participate in missions to learn a thing or two but his father doesn't want Xinghe be exposed to the kind of world Liwei and Ushi is experiencing, he also notes that there would be no one who will protect Xinghe and that's all how he started..

He trained like a lunatic, he renew the whole training system of Alpha squad. And study mission tactics.

While Ushi and Xinghe is sleeping, he is training.

He did all his best to be on where he is right now just so he could protect Xinghe when exposed to the darkest side of the world. His father always asks him, why does he want Xinghe to be exposed in this kind of life and he always answer his father that Xinghe is a phoenix, her beauty fades when being caged and the highest she flies, the more she learns every situation she could be in. He knows that exposing Xinghe in this world makes her last longer in the world they all planned to take. Xinghe is a heiress, threats and assassination would be a normal thing once she took over Lu company.

Getting out of the car, he goes to the balcony to smoke and think thoroughly about what Si Wen said to him.

"Hey" he thought he is hearing things. He shiver at the thought. She is really manifesting his mind.

"Liwei" that voice really rang in his ears, turning his head, he spotted Xinghe heading towards him.

"What are you doing here?" Xinghe ask him.

"Maybe finding ghost?" Liwei joke.

Xinghe chuckle.

"Hey, about earlier, are you ok?" Xinghe ask him.

"Hmm it always happens, we fight occasionally but didn't really escalates physically, it's a normal thing for us especially in this mission, you don't have to worry." Liwei said to her.

"I'm asking if you are ok" Xinghe pursed her lip.

"I'm alive and kicking, see?" Liwei concealed his emotions but too bad, Xinghe knows him perfectly. Looking through his eyes, she knows there is something that is bugging his mind.

She tiptoed to ruffle his hair,

"You are a one hell of stone headed person I met, you should know that you cannot hide anything from me." Xinghe giggle at how soft his hair.

"Oh really now?" Bringing his head closer seeming she really enjoys ruffling his hair so she doesn't need to tiptoed.

"Your hair is really soft what are you using?" Xinghe use both of her hands to ruffle his hair. "And please, don't smoke anymore, it stinks!" Xinghe said to him.

"Yes your highness." Liwei said amused how bad Xinghe is at focusing things, one moment she wants to know what is wrong with him but next she wants to know his shampoo.

"Haha stop joking around, let's go inside I will cook you something." Xinghe said then drags him inside the mansion.

"By the way did you reported already?" Xinghe ask him.

"Si Wen can do."

"Oh."
