?161: Chapter 161: The Girl in My Memories   161: Chapter 161: The Girl in My Memories                                   Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, Xiang Yu waspletely bbergasted, not because he was attracted by her beauty, but because of the painful memories deeply buried in his heart.


    That mission had cost him all his teammates.


    He desperately ran, his only packet of peanuts all eaten up.


    It was at his moment of despair that he met Zhong Min, that beautiful girl.


    They hadn’t been together for long, but Xiang Yu had fallen deeply in love with her, hopelessly so.


    Xiang Yu revealed his identity, thinking he could take the girl with him, but in the end, she betrayed him.


    The girl brought the enemies to him, but fortunately, Xiang Yu discovered it early and fled.


    Since then, this memory became an indelible pain for Xiang Yu; he never deliberately thought about it.


    So much time had passed, and he didn’t know how many hardships he had endured on the brink of life and death.


    The man he was now had trained into a Steel Warrior, with a will as strong as gold.


    Whether on a mission or killing, he never hesitated, always maintaining his cool.


    But seeing this girl today, Xiang Yu’s heart began to waver.


    He wanted to rush up, grab the girl by the cor and demand loudly why she had betrayed him back then.


    But he held back, because now he was not a soldier, but just an ordinary boss in the city.


    At the same time, he was somewhat worried, wondering if she would betray him again and reveal all his past deeds.


    But then he thought, it didn’t matter, because although Xiang Yu had once been a soldier, he was now retired.


    In less than a second, Xiang Yu thought a lot but still with a nonchnt look, he smiled and said, “Beauty, want some peanuts?”


    Only then did the girl notice Xiang Yu’s presence, and she sized him up and down with her big, cute eyes, saying, “You’re pretty handsome.”


    “Of course, people like me, tall and handsome, a true gentleman, are rare these days.


    How about we date?” Xiang Yu grinned.


    Shen San stood to the side, ring fiercely at Xiang Yu.


    He had already made up his mind; Xiang Yu had to die today.


    The girlughed and said, “You’re asking to date me, and you don’t even know me.


    You’re really funny.


    What’s your name?”


    “And what’s your name?” Xiang Yu looked at the girl in front of him as if she didn’t recognize him.


    Could she be acting?


    If this was an act, then she was too good at it.


    “I asked you first; you answer first.” The girl said, tilting her head with an arrogant expression.


    “I’m Xiang Yu.”


    “I’m Zhong Qin.”


    “Zhong Qin?” Xiang Yu silently repeated, suddenly realizing a problem.


    The girl in front of him, although she looked very much like her, was obviously younger than Zhong Min.


    Seeing her just now had somewhat shaken Xiang Yu, that’s why he hadn’t considered it carefully.


    However, one was named Zhong Qin and the other Zhong Min; could the two be rted in any way?


    “You’re really interesting.


    No one has ever dared to talk to me like this before.


    You’re the first.


    Be my sidekick, okay?” Zhong Qin said with a beaming smile at Xiang Yu.


    Looking at Zhong Qin, Xiang Yu was somewhat lost, but he quickly adjusted his attitude and smiled, “What’s in it for me to be your sidekick?


    If there’s no benefit, I’m not interested.”


    “You want benefits?


    So many people are vying to be my bodyguard, and you’re reluctant?


    If you’re not willing, I’ll just have Shen San kill you.” Zhong Qin spoke very simply, as if taking a life was no more than child’s y.


    “Demoness.” Xiang Yu suddenly muttered under his breath.


    “Do you agree or not?” Zhong Qin asked with a smile, looking at Xiang Yu.


    On Zhong Qin’s face, Xiang Yu saw neither malice nor a pretentious expression, but only innocence.


    If it wasn’t because her acting talent was astonishing, then it must be an issue with her upbringing, or perhaps she had heard the phrase ‘killing people’ too often during her growth.


    “I agree.


    Who wouldn’t want to stay by a beauty’s side?” Xiang Yu said, feigning great happiness.


    At that moment, Zhong Qin suddenly became joyful and said, “Thene with me.


    From now on, you are my man.


    If anyone dares to bully you, just tell me, and I’ll have Shen San kill them.”


    Shen San’s face was filled with anger.


    He had wanted Xiang Yu to follow him, but Xiang Yu was adamantly unwilling.


    However, as soon as Zhong Qin arrived, Xiang Yu immediately agreed, causing Shen San to lose face.


    “I promise to follow you, but not right now,” Xiang Yu said with a smile as he looked at Zhong Qin.


    “Why?” Zhong Qin asked, puzzled.


    “Because I have a lot of things to do.


    After I finish these things, I can follow you and protect you,” Xiang Yu said.


    “How long will that take?” Zhong Qin asked, frowning.


    “It won’t be very long,” Xiang Yu said confidently.


    “Fine, I’lle find you after you’ve handled your affairs.


    If you back out then, I’ll kill you,” Zhong Qin said happily.


    She then turned to Shen San and asked, “Can we go now?”


    Only then did Zhong Qin notice that Shen San had an ferocious look on his face.


    He red at Xiang Yu venomously, as if fire was about to spew from his eyes.


    “Shen San, you can’t kill him for now; I still want him to apany me,” Zhong Qin said, and then she cheerfully went downstairs.


    Xiang Yu watched Zhong Qin go downstairs, then sat by himself, sipping tea,pletely ignoring Shen San’s gaze.


    Shen San had never endured such treatment.


    He looked at Xiang Yu and snorted coldly, “Don’t think you’re safe just because the youngdy protects you.


    I will take your life sooner orter.


    What I, Shen San, say, I do.”


    After speaking, Shen San turned and left.


    At that moment, he hadpletely forgotten that Xiang Yu was a talented individual; all his mind held was rage.


    One day, he would make Xiang Yu understand what it meant to prefer death.


    After Shen San left, the room only held Xiang Yu and Ding Yongzhi, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.


    Ding Yongzhi stood up and looked at Xiang Yu, unsure of what to say for a moment.


    He had been convinced that Xiang Yu was a goner, which was why he had drawn his gun, hoping to show off.


    To his surprise, not only had Xiang Yu survived, but he had also gotten acquainted with someone even more formidable.


    The beauty clearly held a higher status than Shen San, and she seemed quite pleased with Xiang Yu.


    It really was important to have a handsome face.


    Seeing how smoothly everything went for Xiang Yu, it might well have something to do with his looks.


    “Brother Xiang, I’m very sorry about what happened just now.


    I didn’t really want to kill you; you saw that, right?


    I was just trying to divert Shen San’s attention.


    I know him well; he’s all about face, and without giving him a way out, he wouldn’t back down,” Ding Yongzhi said, not even believing his own words.


    Now he could only shamelessly continue.


    Xiang Yu was sipping tea with his head down, then he let out a coldugh.


    At that moment, he suddenly drew a dagger and swiftly ced it against Ding Yongzhi’s neck.


    By the time Ding Yongzhi realized what Xiang Yu was doing and tried to reach for his gun, it was already toote.


    “Brother Xiang, I’m telling the truth.


    Given our rtionship, do you think I would kill you?


    Back then, I was just putting on a show for him, you have to believe me…”
