(i)

Just as I was feeling suspicious, Mary Shiya walked closer to me. Her eyes were extremely complicated and confused, making me unable to figure out what she was thinking. The lighting of the apartment made her beautiful face look especially alluring. It was as if she had breathed in too much of the essence of the world. Her clear eyes, in the blink of an eye, seemed to be concealing endless secrets from her heart. Mary Shiya raised her beautiful little head and said: "Can you listen to what I have to say?" She used a pleading tone.

But I heard the melody of sadness in her footsteps.

But reason tells me I can't.

If it was during the day, it wasn't impossible for the middle aged guards to communicate and learn about each other. But it was deep into the night now, and Mary Shiya had come to visit late at night. I can't joke about my political reputation.

I walked to the door and said to the outside: "Mary Shiya is late, let's go back and rest."

Mary Shiya begged on the outside: "Staff Officer Zhao, can you open the door for me?"

"Is there an emergency?" I asked.

Mary Shiya said anxiously, "I, I have a lot of things that I want to say to you right now."

I said, "We'll talk about it tomorrow. It's late."

Mary Shiya shouted 'no', and continued to plead: "Zhao Long, can you just open the door? Otherwise I'll always be uneasy. "

Still, I insisted, "Whatever it is, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Mary Shiya whirled around anxiously: "Zhao Long, please, open the door, I want to tell you … Tell you everything! "Now that I have thought it through, there are some things I must explain to you clearly, or else I will be forever uneasy. Can you open the door please?"

I impatiently asked. "Major Mary Shiya, what time is it now?"

Mary Shiya said anxiously: "I only want five minutes, five minutes is enough!"

I said, "Sorry, five minutes is not long. We can do it anytime during the day! Let alone five minutes, even fifty minutes is fine! "

"But during the day. I can't say anything during the day! " Mary Shiya's voice was getting more and more agitated.

Even though I really want to know what exactly is Mary Shiya, to actually be so stubborn like this. But reason told me that this door must not be opened. Otherwise, in the middle of the night, if someone found out, even if I had ten tongues, I wouldn't be able to explain it. Moreover, Mary Shiya's sudden kiss from before had already given me a deep impression, so I didn't have the courage to take this risk again.

Therefore, I could only choose to refuse.

They were in a stalemate …

(ii)

In the end, Mary Shiya left slowly.

I could hear the melody of disappointment in the sound of her footsteps as she left, and I could hear her heartfelt wails.

But there was nothing I could do.

As he laid on the bed, he kept having a question in his mind: What exactly did Mary Shiya want to tell me?

At this moment, I still don't understand, a foreign female guard's heart, hiding a kind of haggard sad mood...

The mystery would eventually unravel, but it would happen in a few days' time...

However, coincidentally, the matter of Mary Shiya knocking on my door in the middle of the night was discovered by the two Imperial Guards who had just changed shifts. This news had finally reached Katherf's ears.

However, under Katherf's scheme, a little 'conspiracy' that was brewing against me was just about to quietly arrive …

The next day was a sunny day. President Kai Benlien of Y Nation and the leader of China had friendly consultations for the whole morning. Kai Benlien was in high spirits and suddenly asked for Chief C to accompany him out to fish. Chief C naturally could not refuse and nodded in agreement.

The place where they were going to fish was at the ninth lake in the security area. Accompanied by the Chief were Katherf and Mary Shiya, as well as the President's daughter, Ita Finley. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the leaders of both countries, accompanied by their entourage, went to the lake to fish.

At this moment, I was the only one on duty in the apartment with the other two Imperial Guards. It was actually the most leisurely time for me to have a good night's sleep. However, the two guards from Y Nation, especially Dalton, became excited the moment President Kai Benlien left. They sat in the hall and started to eat their fruits with their legs crossed, while the other guard imitated them.

As for the ones that I slept through, they were really hazy, I was a little worried that Miss Ita Finley would suddenly return, and pester me again to let me teach her martial arts. I am not an iron man, I have to be on duty at night, have to be with the guard during the day, and even have to teach Ita Finley Chinese kungfu when I have free time.

Fortunately, I didn't notice what I was worried about. When I woke up, it was already 3: 30 in the afternoon. I yawned, got up from the bed, quickly put on my clothes and got out of bed.

I suddenly wanted to be happy. This hour and a half of sleeping made me feel really comfortable.

People who haven't slept and haven't slept can't experience this kind of feeling. Professional guards like us rarely get a good night's sleep. Even if they were to sleep at night, they would only be half asleep and half awake. It was even more difficult to take over the task of defending important guests. At this moment, the mission was even more special for me. Other than completing my daily duties and duties as a guard, I also had to teach Miss Ita Finley a few additional things. It could be said that it was a multitasking and a difficult mission.

After washing my face, I went to the on-call room to look at my work log, but the office door was open and empty.

Where did he go?

Just as I was mulling over this, Dalton and another guard walked over with cigarettes in their mouths, talking and laughing.

When the two of them saw me, they whispered to each other for a moment, and then Dalton walked straight to me.

Dalton smiled at me: "Staff Officer Zhao, can you bring us to the fitness room?"

I curiously asked, "Why are you guys going to the gym?"

Dalton said: "I hope Staff Officer Zhao can help me feel the atmosphere and exercise in China and exercise my body as well, I hope Staff Officer Zhao can help me!"

This Dalton spoke a lot better Chinese than Katherf, and his words were more accurate. From this, it can be seen that Chinese has become a compulsory language in many countries in the world, and its popularity is close to that of English.

I didn't have any reason to reject Dalton's friendly request, but I kept on feeling that there was a hidden 'killing intent' inside, and that it wasn't as simple as it seemed.

I nodded. "Follow me."

Then, he brought Dalton and the other two to the gym.

After Dalton entered, he looked around and looked at all the equipment in the gym, his face revealing a look of complacency. He approached the large fitness equipment in the middle, leaned over to take a look, and said with a smile, "Ah, this equipment was imported from our country!"

As these words came out, the other guard, Nuo Baoshoufu, also looked closely and his face was filled with gratification.

Although Dalton's words were filled with arrogance, I still replied amiably: "Not bad, this piece of equipment was brought in from State Y last year by the Secret Service. It has all the functions and is very useful. However, arm strength, leg strength, abdomen strength, and waist strength are all being trained at the same time. Twenty-three different training methods are being combined.

Dalton and the two guards of State Y were even more pleased with themselves. Dalton patted the instruments a few times and took out a pair of red Boxing Gloves s from the wall. Then, he quickly took off his jacket, put on his gloves and waved it a few times. Nuo Baoshoufu also took out a black set. Wearing it on his hands, he shook his head and moved his body back and forth like an American boxer.

Dalton shook his head, he twisted his neck and released sets of 'ka ka' sounds, then turned to me and said: "Staff Officer Zhao, there is a request, I don't know if you can agree to it?"

I replied smilingly, "Please speak."

Dalton used the Boxing Gloves to draw an arc in the air, and said excitedly: "Can I share some knowledge with you, and let us experience the fighting techniques of Hua Xia?"

I was stunned for a moment. I immediately understood why these two guards wanted me to bring them to the gym.

It looks like they want to meet me.

But to be honest, I don't want to. I feel that whether you win or lose, it will have more or less an impact on the relationship between the two sides. After all, they were the imperial guards of the Y kingdom. If it's a request from a security guard from another country, I would be happy to spar with them because that kind of sparring will earn the respect of others and the trust of China. However, sparring with the people of Y was the exact opposite. From Katherf, I have already experienced their style of doing things. If I were to spar with the guards of the Y Nation, if I lose, I would be mocked by the people of Y Nation.

Moreover, I suspect that Dalton's request is related to him.

Maybe, it was Katherf who had asked Dalton and to wait for an opportunity to test my true abilities.

This kind of probing, in a sense, could be said to be an indirect type of demonstration.
