However, I had to admit that I was a weakling when it came to relationships.
I didn't even dare to bravely pursue the love that was close at hand. I didn't even dare to look straight into You Meng's eyes.
That kind of reserved and shy gaze was too deep. I was afraid that I would fall into it and never be able to escape.
I pinched my nose and calmed down. After the waves in my heart stopped raging, I said to You Meng: "Who are you? Who dares to bully you?"
You Meng lowered her head and snickered. Then, she did something shocking:
She actually reached out her right hand and grabbed my left hand.
She used a bit of strength and I immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
I was a little confused.
Was this some kind of hint You Meng was giving me?
If it was a gust of wind, it would be fine. But it came so suddenly that I was at a loss.
In this situation, I didn't know if I should break free from You Meng's hand.
I only felt that her hand was warm and smooth.
I blushed and quickly removed my hand from the table.
Of course, You Meng's hand also sank.
You Meng raised her head and looked at me. Then, she lowered her head, but her hand was still holding mine.
I didn't dare to speak. I was afraid that any sound would break this silent tacit understanding.
I admit that my heartbeat was faster than Liu Xiang's …
I don't know how many seconds passed before You Meng let go of my hand. She continued to lower her head and think about something.
I coughed and changed the topic: "You Meng, have you been to America before?"
You Meng put her hands on the table. Her expression changed and she said: "Of course I have.
Did you forget that we went to America with the leader last year? "
I slapped my forehead and realized that I was an idiot.
Why did I ask such a stupid question?
I smiled and said: "Look at my memory.
Haha, this trip to America is different from before. It's quite stressful. "
You Meng pretended to be calm and said: "Don't, you can't be nervous.
I believe in you, you can succeed.
He would definitely be able to achieve good results in the exchange!
If you get good results, the bureau will definitely reward you handsomely. Who knows, maybe you'll be able to get two bars and one bar when you come back! "
I smiled. "Do you think I'm a Super Speedy Runner? How could I get promoted so quickly?"
You Meng said, "It's clearly written in the regulations of the China People's Liberation Army that under many circumstances, they can be promoted in advance.
If you get into the top three this time, you'll definitely get a second-class merit, right?
With this second-class merit, it won't be a problem to get another star. "
I pretended to have a lot of feelings and said humorously, "The biggest thing on my mind right now is to find a wife as soon as possible so that my parents won't have to worry about me anymore."
You Meng said half-jokingly, "I can help you continue pretending.
You've seen my acting skills before. I'm very focused. "
I said, "I can't possibly ask you to impersonate me for the rest of my life, right?"
You Meng shook her head and said, "If you agree, then I'm willing."
I said foolishly, "I'm not so unfilial as to use a fake wife to fool my parents for the rest of my life."
You Meng's originally smiling face suddenly changed color. "This is called passing off the fake as the real thing.
Besides, the real thing is fake, and the fake is real. When the time comes, no one will be able to tell. "
I said, "I'm not interested in fakes."
After saying that, I realized how stupid my words were. Although I didn't mean to mock You Meng, weren't my words clearly scolding her?
After You Meng heard it, she was really angry. She glared at me and suddenly stood up.
She walked away without looking back.
Her complaint echoed in my ears, "I've never seen someone as boring as you!
I'm so angry! "
I wanted to explain, but it was too late.
It was all my fault for not covering my mouth.
You Meng returned to her original seat, and Captain Sun was replaced.
I secretly complained in my heart. You Meng took the initiative to change seats to talk to me, but I made her run away in anger … Ai, I really didn't understand her feelings!
After Captain Sun sat down, he looked at You Meng from afar, then asked me softly, "What's wrong, did you get into a fight?"
I shook my head and said, "Nothing.
A girl's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the ocean, who knew that she would get angry! "
Captain Sun said, "Zhao Long, You Meng is a good girl, you have to take advantage of her.
There are a lot of people lining up behind you! "
I smiled and said, "Captain Sun, what are you saying!"
Captain Sun chuckled, "Zhao Long, my eyes are as clear as snow. You Meng is deeply in love with you.
I've never seen her take the initiative to anyone. "
I pretended to be serious and said, "Captain Sun, don't talk nonsense, this kind of scandal can't be spread."
Captain Sun smiled and said, "I know you're thin-skinned, but you still have to face what you have to face.
To put it bluntly, which of the officers and soldiers in our bureau doesn't have improper thoughts about You Meng?
Let's not talk about anything else, you know Director Qi and Secretary Zhang, the two of them have been chasing after You Meng recently.
Don't let You Meng escape from under your nose, it'll be too late for you to cry. "Captain Sun's voice became softer and softer, to the point that only I could hear him clearly.
I was stunned and asked, "Captain Sun, how did you know?"
Captain Sun said, "Who doesn't know?
If I can't even see this, then I've been in the Secret Service for more than ten years in vain. "
I said, "That's true."
Captain Sun said again, "Zhao Long, if you really like You Meng, then boldly chase after her. A real man should dare to love and hate. If you miss out on You Meng, it will be your regret for the rest of your life."
Captain Sun's words were very pertinent, and I actually accepted it in my heart.
However, I had to pretend to be a gentleman and said indifferently, "Ah, it's up to fate."
Even I felt that I was being too pretentious.
I raised my head and looked at You Meng, who was sitting in the front seat. Her graceful figure was intoxicating, and her every move, every frown, and every smile made people infatuated.
I slightly closed my eyes and thought of many things, many things …
More than ten hours later, the passenger plane landed at the airport in Washington, USA.
The staff of the American Political Protection Academy welcomed us at the airport. A man called Vice Principal Peter had already arranged a car to take us to an apartment not far from the Milne Sports Center in Washington, DC.
After we settled down, the staff sent us the map of the sports center, the layout of the field, and the relevant information.
Next, it was time to rest.
After we rested for a few hours, it happened to be 3 PM Beijing time.
However, the time difference in America was the opposite, and it happened to be a sunny afternoon.
Actually, at this time, there were many high-ranking security guards from various countries who had come to participate in the competition living in the apartment. When I went out to relax, I met many familiar faces, such as the personal bodyguard of the Egyptian president, Mohan Charlie (alias), the bodyguard of the British prime minister, Kerell (alias), and many other friends in the same industry that I didn't know well.
After we met, it was inevitable that we would exchange some pleasantries. After greeting each other, I smoked a cigarette in the courtyard and looked at the bustling scene in America.
Ten minutes later, a pair of tall and sturdy American men walked in side by side from the entrance of the apartment. They talked and laughed while shrugging their shoulders.
They were wearing the kind of sports shorts that football players wore, and a lot of the hair on their legs and chests were exposed.
I was stunned.
It's them?
I stood up straight and went straight to him.
I was familiar with one of them. It was none other than Pablo, who had visited China with President George H. W. Bush.
The other one was bald.
He looked to be around thirty-four or thirty-five years old, with a rough appearance and dark skin.
He was Mike, the bodyguard of President Bush, who was famous in the security circle all over the world.
He was Mike, the unique expert that Pablo had mentioned, and also Pablo's colleague and teacher.
I was a little surprised to see them. It was reasonable to say that they were participating in the competition in China, so there was no need for them to stay in the apartment so early.
After all, there were still four days until March 6th.
The two American guards had obviously noticed me as well. Pablo shrugged his shoulders in surprise. He smiled at Mike and whispered something to me. Then, he waved at me and said, "Oh, Secretary Zhao is here. We were just looking for you!"
I gradually walked closer and glanced at them. I said in English, "Why are you here?"
Pablo shrugged and smiled. "We're here to familiarize ourselves with the venue.
We also came to see our old friends in the apartment. "
Pablo then pointed at Mike and introduced him. "Oh, my Chinese friend, let me introduce you. This is Mike, the one I mentioned to you. Mike is our leader and is in charge of Mr. President's security. I'm his subordinate and also his disciple."
Pablo then pointed at me and introduced me to Mike. "This is China's Security Secretary, Zhao Long. He's the one I mentioned to you, the Chinese expert who made me dizzy."
I smiled politely at Mike. "It's an honor to meet you.
I've heard that Mike is the strongest Brawl King in the United States. It's an honor to meet you today. "
Mike didn't have any expression. He looked at me and asked, "You're the Chinese guard who defeated Pablo?"
I was stunned for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because Pablo went easy on me.
The two of us could be considered to be tied.
He was stronger at the beginning, while I was stronger at the end. "
Mike used two fingers to pull at his thick black eyebrows. After scratching a few times, he said, "You really know how to talk.
Your English isn't bad either. "
I smiled. "Thank you for the compliment.
I still need to learn from you. "
Mike narrowed his eyes and glanced at me. "I hope you can enter the finals. That way, we can have a competition.
I really want to know what level the person who can defeat Pablo has reached. "
I said politely, "I hope so."
Mike didn't answer. He turned to Pablo and said, "Let's go and see Keszew.
I have to check his background in advance. "
Pablo smiled and said goodbye to me. Then, he directly entered the apartment.
I lit another cigarette and walked around the apartment door. I wanted to go out for a ride, but I didn't expect to be stopped by an American sentry.
I pointed at the ID hanging around my neck and said in English, "I'm here to participate in the exchange. I want to go out for a walk."
The sentry said, "Then you have to take off the ID from your neck. We need to register."
I also knew the procedure of being a sentry, so I cooperated and took off the ID for him to register.
The sentry took the ID and asked casually, "You look Japanese, right?"
