Shi Lichuan didn’t press her any further. He simply told Jiang Qin to think about it, adding that he would stand guard at her door for the night.
The night grew late.
Inside her room, Jiang Qin was still awake.
She logged onto the Star Network.
After a mont of thought, she started recording, took out her guitar, and gently began to play.
Five minutes later, she posted it on her main page with the title: [Love Canvas].
Shi Lichuan had set up special notifications for Jiang Qin long ago, so his Light Computer pinged the mont she posted.
In the video, Jiang Qin was wearing a simple white silk pajama top, her long black hair hanging loosely around her.
She looked down, her fingers gently strumming the guitar strings.
Her red lips parted slightly as she sang:
"Love has four colors: purple, red, blue, and white,
Painting a splendid world of romance.
In the beginning,
Even holding your hand made tremble..."
Her voice was sweet, and her entire presence was so gentle it could soften anyone’s heart.
A smile played on Shi Lichuan’s lips as he leaned against the wall next to her door. The thought that only a single door separated them filled him with a sweet warmth.
The brave male gets to taste the sweetness of love first.
Fans who received the notification late at night also flocked online.
Everyone was stunned to see a casual video that Jiang Qin had recorded herself.
[If Qin Bao hadn’t posted this video, I would’ve thought I was following a business account. doge.jpg]
[It’s a glimpse of Qin Bao in her daily life! Taking a million screenshots.]
[Qin Bao seems a little different tonight. Is she in a good mood? It’s like she has a secret she’s dying to share.
Note: I’m a psychology student.]
[Don’t tell she’s in love? This song is so sweet.]
[Late at night, a sweet song... where do you think the inspiration ca from? If you know, you know.]
[Sothing’s not right, really not right. Who is it? Who secretly snatched up our Qin Bao?
I refuse to accept this! Unless she takes too. I’m 6’5", 23 years old, an A-level male... ]
A selfie was attached below.
There were all sorts of comnts.
Jiang Qin quietly scrolled through them, occasionally chuckling at a funny one.
This late night seed to have a different kind of warmth.
...
The mont he heard the door open, Shi Lichuan felt the late night turn scorching hot.
Even though it was already early winter.
Jiang Qin reached out her hand and smiled at him. "To be honest, I’m not a very moral person."
Because a very moral person couldn’t possibly have grown up safely on a place like a Poverty Star.
Nor could they survive in a place like the entertainnt industry.
"Please, always put yourself first, my female master." Shi Lichuan took her small, fair hand.
He was sitting on the floor, and she was bending down toward him. As their eyes t, the air seed to grow feverish.

Cang Hong looped the video ten tis.
Hiding under his covers, he bit his lip and kept swiping, reading the comnts under the video over and over again.
He muttered, "Impossible. Absolutely impossible!"
"Miss Jiang must have posted late at night because she was suddenly struck by inspiration.
She can’t be in love, WAAAAH..."
He was so jealous, so bitter!
If his fans found out he was in his bed in the middle of the night, crying his eyes out, they’d probably laugh themselves to death.
But he just couldn’t help it.
He didn’t even dare to send Jiang Qin a ssage to ask, afraid of getting a heartbreaking answer.
Just as miserable as him was Lan Yuyan.
He was also frowning at the post. Unlike that coward Cang Hong, he had asked her directly.
And he received Jiang Qin’s reply: [Yeah, I’m in a relationship.]
He couldn’t bring himself to send the word "Congratulations"...
’This day was bound to co sooner or later, wasn’t it?’
Lan Yuyan thought about his father telling him to co ho for dinner tomorrow night to et Miss Bai, and a dull ache spread through his chest.
But he couldn’t refuse.
Their compatible Spiritual Power Levels were one reason, and the marriage alliance was another.
They had accepted the family’s support, so they had to accept the family’s arrangents.
This night was destined to be one of mixed fire and ice.
...
After getting into a relationship, Jiang Qin wasn’t much different. The only change was that now there was soone sleeping on the floor in her room.
Waking up in the morning, Shi Lichuan cheerfully packed up his sleeping bag.
Then he asked gently, "Qinqin, what flavor of nutrient liquid do you want? I’ll go get it for you."
"Original flavor, please."
"Okay." With that, Shi Lichuan headed out.
Although he did his best to hide it, his heartfelt joy was obvious to anyone who saw him.
Ba Zi asked curiously, "Boss, why are you so happy today?"
"I’m not telling. I’ll talk about it at the eting later."
"Alright." Although he was very curious, Ba Zi didn’t press him further.
After all, the boss said he would talk about it at the eting, which ant he would wait until everyone was there to say it.
So he didn’t insist on finding out beforehand.
...
"What??? What do you an you’re quitting the mission to protect Miss Jiang??"
"Boss, why?"
Kui Wen and Ba Zi both found it hard to accept.
Miss Jiang had been so good to them. Now was the most dangerous ti for her; how could they abandon her?
The other Bounty Hunters remained silent, but they were all speculating internally about the reason.
’Did Shi Lichuan get scared after hearing about the Dark Web bounty on Miss Jiang?’ everyone wondered.
If that were the case, it would be truly shaful.
Shi Lichuan ignored their thoughts and said cheerfully, "Starting tomorrow, your team leader will be Brother Kun.
As for the deputy leader, let Brother Xing Fan take the role.
As for why I’m quitting this mission... it’s because I’m now a mber of Miss Jiang’s family."
The Bounty Hunter’s Guild has a rule: Bounty Hunters cannot accept commissions from family, relatives, or friends. This is to prevent Hunters from deliberately farming bounties to inflate their Level.
So, I have to withdraw from this mission.
"Family??" Everyone’s eyes went wide.
Jiao Yanjun frowned. "The Bounty Hunter’s Guild regulations state that you’re not allowed to get romantically entangled with a client."
"I know. That’s why I’ve always maintained a professional distance from Miss Jiang, as you all have witnessed.
I was just lucky enough to successfully win her favor."
That was true. No one could argue with that.
During Shi Lichuan’s ti as team leader, none of his arrangents showed any favoritism.
Furthermore, he never deliberately used protection as an excuse to get close to the client.
He just got lucky and was noticed by the client during a mission where he followed all the rules.
It wasn’t like there weren’t precedents for this.
Although everyone was quite jealous, they still sincerely congratulated him, especially Ba Zi and Kui Wen.
They were already companions who would entrust their lives to Shi Lichuan, and since they were among the first to receive this mission, they also had the most contact with Jiang Qin.
So they were genuinely happy that the two of them had gotten together.
"Miss Jiang is a wonderful female. Boss, you have to cherish her!"
"Yeah, Boss, don’t you get sent back."
Shi Lichuan replied gleefully, "You don’t have to tell ! If she wanted my life, I’d give it to her!"
