Does the mystery guy want to take care of us?

When I saw Lili laughing like a fool I stretched her cheeks a little and told her

Andrea: Stop fantasizing, besides I don't know him.

Lili: I didn't say anything. -snickering laugh-.

Andrea: Come on, that mischievous laugh of yours says a lot, besides he seems to be a guy who likes to get into trouble and I don't like men like that.

Lili: Are you sure he's looking for them?

That question left me astonished and even more when he told me about the rumors, I found it curious, so I decided to take a vow of faith and investigate with my sister that rumor.

So I decided to leave it for when I got home, lunchtime came calmly until I saw him, my face was partly incredulous, but I had healed his wounds, I decided to ignore him and reserve a space for Lili and me.

I tried to calmly eat my chicken sandwiches and another one of tuna, but Lili, a little bit stuck on the subject, reminded me that that boy was close to us, I looked at her so fixedly that she only raised her hands and we continued with the food.

And the afternoon promised to be long, although it made me uncomfortable I could not complain for a great detail, everyone or most of them took the bus to go to their respective homes, I looked over that I noticed that we both followed another path and he just waited on a bench, I do not know if he respected my space or if he was waiting for someone near the business buildings.

So after waiting for Lili to get in the car I continued on my way home, with an exhausted Marcela, who I decided to help and prepare dinner this time. While I was doing that I decided to ask her about the boy, I didn't make much effort in describing him and Marcela said to me

Marcela: Oh, you're talking about Elias Kong, he's a guy who came from Korea, I really don't understand why they bother him.

Andrea: Kong? Kong... from Hong Kong.

Marcela: That's the only thing that caught your attention, you're really mean.

Andrea: I was just curious, but... Why do you say that, maybe he is looking for them too.

Marcela explained to me the "gossip" in the hallway and I just listened to her attentively without giving my opinion, honestly I applied the saying 'seeing is believing' so I just decided to listen and not give my opinion.

The boy was like that for a few days, I think it was also his way to apologize and avoid problems, only Lili and Marcela didn't make it easy for me; both talking about it was something that was already making me uncomfortable, Liliana only asked herself questions about if she took care of us and so on, it's not that she was a fragile princess and she was not a princess at all.

And if she was, she would be a very rude one, Lili looked like a doll even if she dressed differently, she was thinner and more delicate, as every lady should be, but that made her an easy prey. I, for my part, continued teaching Lili self-defense and when I couldn't, I would ask her for something retired to teach me the steps.

I scolded her because I didn't want that until Elias' voice made me realize that the others could see us, when I saw him I was partly thankful for that warning and after being close I asked him

Andrea: Why are you playing bodyguard?

Elias: because I don't want anything bad to happen to you, that's all.

I sensed that he was hiding something from me, I decided to leave the detective role for later and go back to the last class with Lili, I noticed how he only looked at us and even if he guessed he didn't see anything wrong, but I didn't like the game of hiding things, I wasn't stupid and I decided to just watch but be alert.
