A note from the author:
I highly recommend my next novel, "The Movie Queen's Female Bodyguard," which is available in the author's column. Feel free to add it to your favorites if you're interested!
The text is as follows:
Qin Yuan, the youngest Grand Slam Best Actress in China, was accidentally thrown off a mountain road by her driver on the day she returned home after winning the award. However, she unexpectedly turned misfortune into good fortune and found a genuine ancient female knight at the bottom of the cliff.
Qin, the clueless kite: She really can fly!
Having successfully persuaded the man to come back and become her bodyguard, Qin Yuan felt an instant surge of security, wishing she could keep him by her side at all times. However, as time went on, this simple employer-employee relationship seemed to have taken a turn for the worse.
—Yu Ci's Perspective
On the day of his life-or-death duel with his nemesis, Yu Ci fought with all his might and finally avenged himself, but he was also seriously injured. He went to the dense forest at the bottom of the cliff, intending to end it there, but when he woke up, he found himself completely unharmed, and there was a strangely dressed woman hanging on a tree not far away.
After rescuing the person, Yu Ci followed that person into this strange world in a daze. The houses that pierced the clouds, the moving metal shells, everything in front of her was completely unfamiliar to her.
Fortunately, someone was willing to patiently guide her step by step into this unfamiliar world, and that person gradually entered her heart and took root.
Mini-theater:
Yu Ci felt that there were so many guard jobs in this world. Not only did they have to protect their master's safety, but they also had to serve tea and water, massage shoulders and legs, and even share a bed with their employer when they were scared at night.
Upon discovering Yu Ci's idea, Qin Yuan immediately instructed her assistant to hire two more bodyguards.
That evening, Qin Yuan was cornered by her own bodyguards.
Yu Ci: You are not allowed to hire anyone else!

Chapter 31
Jiang Shuiyun was stunned by Yi Jinbai's question. How did she come to that conclusion? She got it from the original text, but the splitting headache she had last time reminded Jiang Shuiyun that she couldn't say it like that.
"I... guessed."
Jiang Shuiyun avoided Yi Jinbai's gaze and came up with the most awkward explanation.
Yi Jinbai kept looking at Jiang Shuiyun's face, but at least he didn't pry into her questions. Instead, he answered Jiang Shuiyun's question directly.
"I only considered Fei Yan as a senior, which is not the same as liking him. Actually, I was a little surprised. Fei Yan was already very famous at school, and he was always surrounded by many people. Logically speaking, he couldn't possibly like me. Our relationship was just that we happened to be teachers, so we were a little close, and that was all."
After listening to Yi Jinbai's words, Jiang Shuiyun seemed to be deep in thought. This seemed to be different from the description in the original text. Could it be because Yi Jinbai's current situation was different from that in the text?
The more Jiang Shuiyun thought about it, the more likely it seemed. But she didn't think it was a bad thing. Anyway, Yi Jinbai would never fall to that state again, and she didn't need Fei Yan to be that fragile light. She, Jiang Shuiyun, could take good care of Yi Jinbai.
With that thought in mind, Jiang Shuiyun felt much better. "Okay, let's go eat first?"
"You haven't washed up yet, and you haven't even changed your clothes."
Yi Jinbai gave a somewhat helpless reminder to the somewhat dazed Jiang Shuiyun.
Jiang Shuiyun scratched her head awkwardly and told Yi Jinbai to go wash up first. She changed into some comfortable sportswear, and after getting ready, the two of them went downstairs to eat together.
While waiting for the elevator, Jiang Shuiyun's gaze involuntarily drifted towards Yi Jinbai beside her.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Jiang Shuiyun's gaze was caught by Yi Jinbai.
"Uh, no, there's just some dirt on your face."
Jiang Shuiyun lied through her teeth, watching Yi Jinbai wipe his face in a daze, then lowered her head to hide the smile on her lips, "You already wiped it off."
"Really?" Yi Jinbai, believing it to be true, wiped his face again. "Thank you."
"I was lying to you..." Jiang Shuiyun raised her hand to cover her face, her conscience pricked, and she told the truth.
"You..." Yi Jinbai hadn't expected Jiang Shuiyun to be so childish. He gently pushed Jiang Shuiyun, then wiped his face with a hint of doubt. "Really? No way?"
"Fake."
Jiang Shuiyun answered with a smile.
"What?" Yi Jinbai was amused by Jiang Shuiyun's antics. Was she lying, or was she lying?
"Really? I'm not lying to you this time."
The elevator arrived just then. Jiang Shuiyun smiled and stepped into the elevator. Yi Jinbai followed her in, took out his phone, and decided not to believe Jiang Shuiyun and to check for himself.
Just as Yi Jinbai turned on selfie mode, Jiang Shuiyun tilted her head and entered the frame from behind, even giving a peace sign to the camera.
Yi Jinbai stared in surprise at Jiang Shuiyun on his phone screen, his hand just touching the shutter button. With a click, the two of them were captured in a still image.
"Send it to me."
Jiang Shuiyun also took out her phone, waiting for Yi Jinbai to send her the photos from earlier.
"No, I didn't mean to take a picture," Yi Jinbai felt he couldn't explain himself clearly. He opened the album and looked at the photo. He stared wide-eyed in surprise. Jiang Shuiyun behind him was making a peace sign, looking a bit silly. Neither of them looked good, but they looked quite funny.
Yi Jinbai couldn't help but laugh when he saw the photo. "Okay, I'll send it to you."
Jiang Shuiyun saved the photo, set it as her screen background, and then turned off her phone.
"Are you in a good mood today?" Yi Jinbai asked.
"I'm fine." Jiang Shuiyun also felt that she was in a good mood. "Why would you ask that?"
"Because you're smiling. I've never seen you smile before."
To be honest, although Jiang Shuiyun in front of her had never hurt her like the Jiang Shuiyun of the past, she always felt more dangerous and unapproachable. Moreover, after spending so much time together, Jiang Shuiyun was always peaceful and polite, but she was even more unpredictable. She couldn't even see her true thoughts. Even her occasional smiles were all polite and courteous. Her whole person exuded an unreal feeling.
Jiang Shuiyun was taken aback by Yi Jinbai's words. She hadn't really noticed; she always felt that she laughed quite often. Looking at Yi Jinbai uncertainly, she asked, "Really? Then I'll laugh more in the future?"
Yi Jinbai nodded. If that were the case, it would be perfect. Jiang Shuiyun's smile just now really made her feel real and close to her.
Jiang Shuiyun nodded hesitantly, pulling down the corners of her mouth, "So in your eyes, have I always had this stern face?"
"Not really, it's just that, how should I put it?" Yi Jinbai was amused by Jiang Shuiyun's actions. After thinking for a moment, he used two fingers to smooth out the corners of his mouth, then tilted his head back and lowered his eyes slightly. "You used to be like this most of the time."
"How could that be?" Jiang Shuiyun raised an eyebrow in surprise, then shook her head with a smile. "Why was I so strange before?"
“Is that so? You asked those venomous snake demons, they’re all terrified of you.” Yi Jinbai nodded affirmatively.
"Really? I think I've been quite kind to them?" Jiang Shuiyun looked puzzled. She had always felt that there was no captain in the world who was easier to talk to or more tolerant than herself. She had never even given any coercive orders or imposed any severe punishments on them.
"Kindness? Is that what you think of yourself?"
This time it was Yi Jinbai's turn to be shocked. What had given Jiang Shuiyun this illusion?
"yes……"
...
The two talked as they walked, more than they had ever spoken since they met. This allowed Yi Jinbai to fully understand how absurd Jiang Shuiyun's perception of her was.
"What are you talking about, why are you so happy?"
Xi Rong and the others were already waiting in the cafeteria. When they saw Jiang Shuiyun and Yi Jinbai walking over together, chatting and laughing, they looked at each other with a mixture of surprise and curiosity. Had the young couple reconciled so quickly? They seemed more harmonious than before.
"When we talk about training, do you think I'm strict with you?"
Jiang Shuiyun casually pulled out the chair for Yi Jinbai, sat down herself, and then looked around at the members of the Miracle Team.
No one knew how this had gotten to them. They looked up and down, but not at Jiang Shuiyun, until the most taciturn Jianmang was finally locked onto by Jiang Shuiyun's gaze. "Jianmang, you tell us."
With no way to avoid the sword's edge, he braced himself and met Jiang Shuiyun's gaze. "If you don't require us to get up at six every morning to run two laps before training, it's not too strict."
The sword light opened a door, and the others began to speak.
"It would be even better if we could remove the twenty minutes of physical training every noon," Viper suggested tentatively, maintaining his smile.
"And could you please not require us to keep our eyes and the screen at a certain distance or maintain a certain posture?" Yao Yao Ling blinked, looking at Jiang Shui Yun expectantly.
"Can we remove the rule about not staying up late?" Jiaoyang happily raised her hand.
"Can we remove the requirements for regular deep cleaning and personal hygiene?" Even the Killing Apostle couldn't help but ask in the end.
Jiang Shuiyun listened expressionlessly, glancing around the room. "Anything else?"
"Captain, are you really going to agree to all of this?"
Everyone immediately became excited.
"It seems I haven't been strict enough with you. I will reflect on this deeply and will give you extra training when we get back."
As soon as Jiang Shuiyun finished speaking, cries of agony erupted from all sides.
Despite the talk and the commotion, the training results were undeniable. They were truly reluctant to give up the good habits they had worked so hard to cultivate.
While the members of Team Miracle were eating and drinking their fill, resting and preparing for tomorrow's competition, online discussions about Team Miracle increased exponentially, trending on social media and photos of several members were all over the internet. No one had ever imagined that this usually niche invitational tournament would suddenly become so popular.
Of course, increased fame always has its advantages and disadvantages. When Jiang Shuiyun's photos appear in front of some people, they always cause quite a stir, which Jiang Shuiyun is unaware of.
After a night of rest, the main event of today's five-to-three competition has finally arrived.
The audience's enthusiasm was unprecedented, and the number of viewers in the live broadcast room reached a new high. Most of the supportive comments on the screen were for the Miracle Team and Captain Jiang Bai, which was in stark contrast to the boos that filled the screen at the beginning of yesterday.
Xi Rong and Jiao Yang drew lots again. Although their luck was sometimes good and sometimes bad, it didn't have a big impact on the Miracle Team. However, when the host announced that the Miracle Team had drawn a bye and would directly enter the waiting stage for advancement, everyone was very happy. This way, they could watch their opponents' matches in advance and also build up their strength for the finals. Who wouldn't be happy?
After a tense battle, the Slaughter Team and another strong veteran team emerged victorious. Next up was the challenge match. Jiang Shuiyun thought that the Miracle Team would be eliminated this time, but the two teams chose to cross-challenge the winning team. No one chose the Miracle Team, so the Miracle Team won this round without any competition.
When the Slaughter team was unexpectedly eliminated, the audience was still in disbelief. Of course, the Slaughter team was even more incredulous. The team members wanted to report the incident and request the referee to review it, but their captain, Slaughter, stopped them. If they chose to review it twice in a row, it would be too shameful. Wouldn't that be showing their sore loser attitude in the open?
After the results were announced, the Slaughter Team applied for a revival vote. If the number of votes from the audience, both inside and outside the arena, reaches the target, a revival match will be triggered, and the Slaughter Team will have another chance to challenge again.
Based on the popularity of the team that previously dominated the tournament, and considering that they are also a favorite to win this invitational tournament, the possibility of a revival round being held was very high. However, after the voting was launched, the results were somewhat unexpected.
