Chapter 262: Bodyguard Ye Xun
As soon as the four of them left the airport, they got into the music festival organizer’s car and arrived at their residence. The place arranged by them was a star hotel not far from the performance venue.
After checking in and putting their luggage in the room, the staff member in charge of liaison from the organizer arrived. So Han Yixuan and Wang Heng went to the hotel’s first-floor lobby to discuss the detailed arrangements for the next few days with the other party, such as fine-tuning the itinerary planning and the like. Ye Xun and Pei Ningle followed them down to the first floor and started wandering around the lobby.
“This decor is so luxurious…” Pei Ningle looked up at the chandelier and couldn’t help but exclaim, “How much does it cost to stay here for one night?”
Ye Xun smiled: “Isn’t it written over at the counter? The cheapest room is over eight hundred.”
Pei Ningle stared at Ye Xun and asked: “Xiao Xun has stayed in places like this before, right?”
Ye Xun nodded, but the smile on her face faded a bit.
Pei Ningle also noticed the change in the other’s expression and immediately realized that she seemed to have touched a sore spot. After thinking for a moment, she changed the topic.
“I’m going to rehearsal tomorrow. Does Xiao Xun want to come with us?”
Ye Xun asked nonchalantly: “Who else is coming with you? Does everyone have to go?”
Pei Ningle thought for a moment and replied: “Xiao Xuan definitely has to come with me, but it’s hard to say about older brother. He might have other things…”
“Older brother?” Ye Xun tilted her head.
Pei Ningle waved her hand and explained: “At first he was pretending to be my older brother, but later we just made it official as godbrother. Though I don’t call him that often usually, and I’m often too embarrassed to say it to his face, so you definitely haven’t heard it.”
“I see…” Ye Xun couldn’t help but fall into contemplation.
A relationship like siblings—wouldn’t that make it easier to get closer? It seemed that although Han Yixuan held the advantage, Pei Ningle hadn’t given up on her schemes either. The position of god-sister seemed very convenient for sneaking in at any opportunity?
At this time, the two young girls were standing in the hotel lobby, with many customers coming and going around them, but overall it was still quite quiet. But suddenly, like a big stone thrown into a pond, a young woman’s scream pierced everyone’s eardrums.
“Ahhhh—Xiao Lele!”
Pei Ningle turned around like a startled little rabbit and saw a somewhat burly woman charging toward her. The woman was dressed ordinarily, with long hair over her shoulders, and as she ran, her long hair flew messily, giving off the momentum of a hungry tiger descending the mountain.
In an instant, Pei Ningle couldn’t help but suspect whether she had encountered a thug and was about to meet with misfortune…
The stranger woman only rushed to within three or four meters of Pei Ningle before she couldn’t advance another step. Because Ye Xun intercepted her.
Ye Xun’s movements were extremely fast, so fast that no one else around saw clearly, and the stranger woman was thrown down and pinned to the ground by her, face pressed to the floor, left hand twisted behind her back, completely unable to move. As long as she struggled even a little, the force Ye Xun applied to her joints would make her give up in pain.
By this time, Wang Heng had already run over and hurriedly asked: “What happened?”
Ye Xun gestured with her chin at the woman pinned under her and said: “I don’t know what happened, she suddenly rushed at Xiao Le, so I could only subdue her first.”
The woman shouted repeatedly: “I’m not a thug, not a bad person! I’m Xiao Lele’s fan, I bought a music festival ticket! I just suddenly saw Xiao Lele and got too excited, so I ran over…”
So it turned out to be one of the fans who provide food and clothing? This seemed a bit troublesome.
Ye Xun and Wang Heng exchanged a glance and saw that both had furrowed brows.
Wang Heng cleared his throat and said: “Let her up. If she doesn’t have any dangerous items on her.”
Hearing this, Ye Xun tacitly did a simple pat-down and then released the suppression, helping the female fan up.
Pei Ningle also came over and softly asked: “Hello, are you hurt?”
“I’m fine!” The female fan said this, her gaze shifting back and forth between Ye Xun and Pei Ningle’s faces a few times, seeming even more excited.
Pei Ningle was a bit nervous instead: “Um… is there any other problem?”
The female fan suddenly pointed at Ye Xun and asked: “This sister, are you Lele’s bodyguard?”
Pei Ningle was momentarily stunned.
Ye Xun nodded generously and admitted: “That’s right, I’m her bodyguard. My actions earlier might have been a bit rough, sorry.”
“It was my fault, I got too carried away…” The female fan said with a flushed face, “As expected of Lele, even her bodyguard is so cute!”
Pei Ningle: “??”
And at this moment, Han Yixuan still hadn’t come over, only observing the surroundings from a slight distance. As far as she knew, many musicians invited by the music festival organizer were staying at this hotel, including several seniors in the music scene with considerable fame. In other words, among these seemingly ordinary people, there might be a few paparazzi hiding.
Suddenly, Han Yixuan’s gaze sharpened. She noticed someone in the corner holding a camera, aimed in Pei Ningle’s direction—the scene of Ye Xun throwing the person down and pinning them to the ground had probably been captured too?
Han Yixuan could only silently pray that it wouldn’t turn into negative news.

Next morning, just as Wang Heng got out of bed, there was a knock at the room door.
Opening the door, he saw Pei Ningle, Han Yixuan, and Ye Xun standing neatly at the doorway.
“Have you seen the news?” Han Yixuan asked straightforwardly.
Wang Heng: “What news?”
Han Yixuan said meaningfully: “It just broke this morning. I think it’s still necessary for you to see it…”
The group entered Wang Heng’s room and urged him to turn on the computer.
Wang Heng: “We didn’t get on the hot search again, did we?”
Han Yixuan: “It hasn’t blown up that big. Xiao Le doesn’t have that level of fame yet, but… anyway, you’ll know when you see this.”
Under her guidance, Wang Heng clicked on a gossip entertainment reporter website. Then he saw a very eye-catching news report:
【Lace Girl Pei Ningle and the Female Hero Bodyguard: Things That Must Be Said!】
Wang Heng was stunned for a moment and said: “Are they writing a light novel? To be fair, this title is pretty attention-grabbing.”
Pei Ningle said indignantly: “Hey, they’re spreading rumors about me!”
Wang Heng shrugged: “But the readership isn’t high. This shouldn’t have much impact, right?”
Han Yixuan added: “Indeed, but in a few Xiao Le fan groups I’m lurking in, many people have started discussing this. Some girls who think they’re pretty say they want to meet her in the real world, and some even say it’s fine if they get led on and then dumped…”
“Wow, is this encouraging Xiao Le to be a scummy yuri?”
Wang Heng clicked his tongue in wonder and turned to look at Pei Ningle, only to see the young girl’s face already flushed red with embarrassment.
“What scummy yuri,” the girl glared at him and emphasized, “I’m not yuri at all!”
Seeing her like this, Wang Heng stopped joking and said seriously: “It’s fine, anyway, this isn’t important. Are you prepared for the rehearsal later?”
Pei Ningle huffed and said: “Rehearsal is preparation for the formal performance anyway, to find and fix problems. You don’t need to worry about this one, just watch me!”
