“Live together?”

My heart skipped a beat as I shot Beiming Xue a sidelong glance. “Why do you have to put it like that? I mean, it’s technically true, but the meaning’s completely different.”

Beiming Xue turned red and lowered her head. “I don’t mind if it’s you, boss…”

“Fuck!”

I stopped her before she could go any further. “Your brain must’ve short-circuited or something! Anyway, there are two very simple reasons as to why I want to move out of the base.”

“What are they?” Beiming Xue looked at me with a hopeful expression.

“One, I’m not very used to the operating style of a club. When the number of people in an organization grows past a certain threshold, the efficiency of work being done starts dropping drastically. It is a fact that it takes nearly an hour just to form a party these days, so I personally think we can do much better as a smaller workshop. Two, I don’t want any harm to fall on you. I’m sure that Chen Sheng isn’t done with you yet, and sure, there are more than enough people here to protect you at almost all times. But as the saying goes, it’s better to have been robbed than have a robber waiting for a chance to rob you. Not to mention this guy may be able to find an opportunity to harrass you and disrupt your daily life. That would be terrible, am I right?”

Moved by my concern...
