Young Master, I Just Want to Be a Shadow Guard

A good bodyguard must be utterly loyal to his master, ease his master's worries, and put his master first in everything. Even if the whole world abandons his master, his master must remain at the center of the bodyguard's world!

A bodyguard's world is that simple. But, Young Master, where exactly are your hands touching? Hey!

Young Master: There's a mosquito on your chest. I'll get rid of it for you. That's what he said, but his hands were doing unspeakable things in unspeakable places.

It was an ordinary, sunny day with clear skies, and the Young Master was refusing to get out of bed.

"Young Master, it's time to get up."

"Sui Ye, my hands are cold. Warm them for me." Sui Ye reached out and took Chen Junqing's hands.

"Sui Ye, my bed is cold. Keep me company." Sui Ye lifted the covers and crawled into bed.

"Sui Ye, Sui Ye..." Sui Ye sighed helplessly. Young Master, I just want to be a bodyguard!

Outside the room, everyone was crouched by the door, listening.

Shuisu: My Young Master and Captain are so sweet!

Ye Han nodded. My wife is always right. But, Young Master, why are you so much slower than me at pursuing your wife?

Chen Er: Without me, would my cute little Shuisu be your wife? You mangy dog, let go of me! Or I'll feed all your medicines to the pigs!

Zhen Yuan: Don't be angry, honey. Do whatever you want with my medicines, as long as you let me sleep in your room tonight.

Hongmian: Chen family's little dog's bodyguards, be quiet! I can't hear what the little dog is saying! Keep it up and I'll knock every one of you out for five days with a single needle.

Wudu: You Chen brat, show some restraint! Getting handsy with my Holy Son like that, what kind of behavior is that?

Chen Yi: He's my son, and those are my family's bodyguards. I haven't said a word, so what gives you the right to bark here?

Wudu: You, you, you! Take this punch!

Hongmian: You two old geezers, go fight somewhere else! Don't interrupt my eavesdropping!

The bodyguards: Exactly!

Wudu and Chen Yi: So love really can disappear, huh?

Time for questions with Yifang Yantai.

Yifang Yantai: Young Master Chen, if you've fallen for your bodyguard captain, how do you win your wife over?

Young Master: Obviously, I take advantage of how patient my wife is with me, and slowly build on our childhood-friend relationship!

Yifang Yantai: What if your wife's background is mysterious and complicated?

Young Master: Is there anyone in the world with a more complicated background than mine? Besides, who cares if your wife's background is a mystery when you're pursuing him?

Yifang Yantai: But what if...

The Young Master, impatiently: Why are there so many what-ifs? I just want my wife!

Yifang Yantai was furious!

Yifang Yantai: Then, Captain Sui Ye, what do you think of what Young Master Chen just said?

Sui Ye: The Young Master is right about everything.

Young Master: See? Wife, hold my hand! (Young Master Chen took Sui Ye's hand right in front of Yifang Yantai, clearly showing off their affection.)

Yifang Yantai: Keep that up and my mother will turn into my stepmother.

Young Master: I'm sorry. (But he didn't let go of the hand he was holding.)

Young Master Chen's motto: We should be brave enough to admit our mistakes, but never change our ways.

A note from the author:

This is definitely a sweet story. Maybe, possibly, there might be a tiny, tiny bit of angst. It follows three generations, but of course the author's not going to torment her own babies too badly, so don't worry about extreme angst. Feel free to dive in!

This is my first attempt at writing a novel, so my writing and style are pretty lacking. Please be gentle with your criticism. I'll do my best to update, but as a programmer who studied software, I'm often busy going bald, so I might be late with updates sometimes. But I definitely won't abandon the story, so don't worry.

A strong couple. The top is a schemer, while the bottom is a clever, loyal puppy. The side couples are all adorable young people.

A Young Master and his bodyguard falling in love is never that simple!
