Chapter 325: Calling Me Sister?

"Based on seniority, I should call you sister, but could it be that you want me to call you little sister?"

"My mother only gave birth to me, I have no interest in acknowledging any sisters."

"Oh, so you walked up to me? Are you planning to sit and eat together?" Mou Lili asked.

Zhou Man wanted to go further, however, Axia stood in front of her, staring at her just the same.

"Who are you?" Zhou Man asked.

"Stay away from her," Axia said.

"I asked, who are you?"

"I said, you stay away from her."

The two of them stood in a standoff; Zhou Man refused to yield, and Axia did not give an inch.

After a stalemate of about 5 minutes, Zhou Man finally took a step back.

She straightened her clothes and said to Axia, "You just wait."

"Waiting is fine by me."

Liu Yang was watching from the side, anxious to death; as soon as Zhou Man left, she dragged Axia back to sit down.

"Why did you have to provoke her?" Liu Yang asked.

Axia picked up a piece of pork belly and stuffed it into her mouth, "My duty is to protect Miss Mou's safety and not let her suffer any grievances."

After hearing this, Mou Lili felt a bit touched.

But she was also a little worried for Axia; after all, this was a straightforward girl. If she really got targeted by Zhou Man, Zhou Man had plenty of underhanded methods, and she worried Axia would suffer.

"Axia, from now on, let's just take a detour when we see her, don't go against her," Mou Lili said softly.

Axia, however, continued to shake her head: "That won't do. I'm here to protect you in the first place. If I let you live like a grandson, tucking your tail between your legs whenever you see someone, then what kind of assistant would I be?"

Having said that, she picked up another piece of meat and put it in her mouth.

Mou Lili was even more moved after hearing this; she hurriedly gave the pork belly from her own bowl to Axia.

That night, Axia escorted Mou Lili back to the place she was renting.

Mou Lili asked Axia with concern: "Where are you staying?"

Axia said: "I don't have a place to stay for the time being."

"Ah? Where are you from? How could you not have a place to stay?"

Axia pointed to the living room: "Would you mind if I stayed on this sofa?"

"Well..." Mou Lili said: "I'm sharing this place with someone else, how about this, I'll go ask my roommate."

Although Xiao Wei had been performing out of town these past few days, out of respect, Mou Lili felt she still had to ask.

As it turned out, Xiao Wei answered the phone and even thought Mou Lili was making an unnecessary fuss, saying that as long as she didn't stay in her room, she could stay anywhere else she wanted, and it wouldn't cost much in electricity anyway.

Mou Lili hung up the phone and said to Axia: "You can stay on the sofa."

The sofa in the living room was a fabric L-shaped one, and it would be no problem for two people to sleep on it.

Having received Mou Lili's consent, Axia settled in with peace of mind.

Mou Lili asked her again: "Then what about your luggage?"

"My luggage is in storage, I'll go pick it up tomorrow."

"Then... alright." Mou Lili then went to find a set of pajamas for Axia and also found two pairs of disposable underwear for her to change into.

Axia happily went off to take a shower.

Mou Lili was a bit puzzled; this Axia's personality was too carefree, right? Could this person be a relative of some leader in the company?

Did she come to Beishi and fail to find a job, so she was shoved onto her?

Mou Lili opened her phone, wanting to ask Liu Yang about it.

However, before the message could be sent, Axia came out after finishing her shower.

Mou Lili was stunned: "You... you finished washing in two minutes?"

"Yeah," Axia said, while shaking the water droplets from her hair.

"Did you wash your hair too?"

"I did."

"Didn't you use shampoo?"

"I used it, and body wash too," Axia said: "I'm not that particular about showering, just rinsing off the sweat is enough, unlike you guys who smear this and that."

"I-I see," Mou Lili smiled.

Now that Axia was out, Mou Lili felt embarrassed to send the text message.

She said: "Then... I'll go take a shower too."

"Go ahead," Axia said.

While Mou Lili went to shower, Axia carefully checked the place again from the outside.

From the large furniture in the house down to the electrical plugs, she checked to rule out the possibility of hidden cameras or safety hazards.

Once everything was checked, she sat down on the sofa and took out her phone to open Ling Feng's WeChat: I'm here, you can rest easy.

Ling Feng received Axia's message and replied: Good, keep a close watch on her for me, preferably without leaving her side.

Although he had already warned Zhou Man, a woman like Zhou Man was a tough character; simply put, she was a lunatic.

For instance, after leaving the club that day, Zhou Man had run into her once more at the club.

That woman had twisted her waist and latched onto him, "She can be your woman, and I can too."

Ling Feng had people drag her out right then and there.

Only after the fact did I remember that I should have recorded a video to leave as evidence for Lin Mengyang.

A miscalculation.

Ling Feng later found Axia.

Axia had previously trained in the special forces and had already retired; she originally had good units wanting her, but her family situation was difficult, so she wanted to find a job with higher pay. Ling Feng has currently hired her for one year, and will see how things go regarding further employment.

……

Because Mou Lili's debut performance was very outstanding, the company took on another resource for her, letting her participate in a certain television station's New Year's Gala.

But because her popularity was not yet sufficient, she could only sing in a duet with a senior, though she had two songs.

Mou Lili was already very satisfied; one must know that she had never been on television before.

As long as she sang well, she could likewise make herself shine.

"Sister Mou, Zhou Man is also going to C City; she has two songs," Liu Yang said to Mou Lili.

Mou Lili asked, "Then when is she going? Is it the same flight as me?"

"It should be, though the seating is different; she is in first class," Liu Yang muttered in a low voice, "That woman thinks she is very popular and that people chase her wherever she goes; in reality, apart from that small portion of her fans, who even recognizes her?"

Mou Lili asked, "Can the flights be staggered?"

Mou Lili really did not want to be on the same flight as Zhou Man; she did not want to see her.

"It's not possible; the company has already set it, it can only be that flight."

"Alright then, we'll just board the plane from the regular passage; we shouldn't run into each other."

……

The day before going to the airport, Mou Lili and Axia went home.

Just as they reached the doorway, Axia felt something was wrong.

"Wait a moment, don't go in yet!" Axia said.

Mou Lili was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"There's a situation."

Axia only shielded Mou Lili behind her.

Mou Lili's heart also jumped into her throat all at once, and then she glanced around.

This was a building with six units per floor, and their unit was right next to the fire escape.

The fire escape was empty, and combined with Axia's expression, she kept feeling like something had happened.

Axia unlocked the door first, then kicked the door open with her foot.

There was no movement inside.

Yet Axia still did not move; she waited at the doorway for quite a while, and subsequently, a terrifying scene appeared!
