Yan Aohan led Zhu Yanyi back to the room. She set up a memory lock for her. Only she and she could open the switch here. No one else could.
Zhu Yanyi felt very curious. This memory technology should appear decades later. How could it exist now? Did her memory fail? Or was Yan Aohan strange? She looked at her with suspicion.
"Curious?" Yan Aohan knew what she was thinking from her expression.
Zhu Yanyi nodded. "Very curious. I have never heard of this tech. It does not belong to this era."
Yan Aohan laughed. "Good. Keep being curious about me. That way, you will pay attention to me. So, I decided not to tell you the answer for now."
Zhu Yanyi was stunned. Her eyes went wide. "Why do I feel like every step you take is calculating me?"
"Of course I calculate." Yan Aohan looked like she would be lonely if she did not calculate her. Zhu Yanyi was speechless. She knew she could not beat her in smarts or strength. So, she decided to stop asking for answers.
Yan Aohan just smiled. she did not tell her that giving up did not mean staying out. When she realized it, she would already be in her bowl. Then she would know she calculated every step for her.
After leaving the secret room, Yan Aohan took Zhu Yanyi out for a walk. Then they went to the market to buy vegetables. They stayed inside. Each went to their room to do their own things. Zhu Yanyi studied. Yan Aohan handled her affairs.
At dinner time, Zhu Yanyi cooked in the kitchen. Yan Aohan came out to eat. The courtyard had only two people. It seemed quiet, but there was a special warmth.
After eating, Yan Aohan helped wash the dishes. Zhu Yanyi watched her skilled hands. "It seems you have not forgotten how to wash dishes."
Yan Aohan focused on washing. "Six years ago, I learned from you in Sicheng Town. I could not forget. Besides, I ate your food. I must wash dishes to repay you."
Zhu Yanyi laughed. "True. You follow gender equality well. Good men of the new era should be like this."
Yan Aohan raised an eyebrow. "This is called working together makes the job easier."
"Are you not shy?" Zhu Yanyi was speechless. She was only eleven years old. She teased her all the time. Did she really like children?
Yan Aohan smiled but did not answer. He dried his hands and spoke. "Old Man Shen applied to the higher-ups for bodyguards for you, right?"
"Yes. Grandpa Shen said I need protection. So I need bodyguards." Zhu Yanyi did not hide it.
Yan Aohan led Zhu Yanyi to the yard for a walk. She said as they walked, "I have chosen the bodyguards. Tomorrow night after work, I will take you to meet them."
"What kind of people are they?" Zhu Yanyi asked curiously.
"Four in total. Two men and two women." Yan Aohan did not hide it. "They are specially trained by my side. They stayed in the special camp. But they have hidden injuries. So they could not stay. I originally planned to let them go to you. You heal them, and they work for you. Now it fits perfectly. It is official. With them by your side, you do not need to worry about people making things hard for you."
