Erika was talking to their photographer's assistant when she heard what her fellow model was talking about.
"We've been here on the island for two days, the sun is hot on the skin." one female model said politely while talking to her fellow model as well.
"It's beautiful here, why doesn't Leatrice want to live here?" the model asked her companion.
"Didn't she mention that there was a tragedy in her family, maybe there are memories here that she doesn't want to go back to." the model replied to her fellow model.
"Her family's wealth and this island are big enough for her to leave this resort and hotel." the model said.
"Sometimes even if you have a big house, if you have painful memories of a place, will you go back?" Lixue said the two models were surprised when they saw their colleague at work.
"Not anymore, maybe if I go back when I've moved on so I won't remember those," Erika replied who also approached.
"Where did you come from last night, do you know you worried us, especially the boys and the manager." the model replied looking at Lixue.
Lixue did not answer the question of her fellow model. The manager met her and talked to her about what happened yesterday.
"You worried us yesterday when you didn't go up to the sea." the gay manager said to Lixue.
"I went to the other island, manager." Lixue knew that the staff called him and that's what he said when she looked for him.
"Darling, good morning." Erika greeted her boyfriend when she saw him and kissed him on his lips.
Lixue and the manager she was talking to turned around. She and Shuji looked at each other and immediately looked away.
"You have another island?" the gay manager asked.
"No, manager, I went to see someone I know," Lixue said to the gay manager.
"You should just use a car, there is a main road where we passed, right?" the gay manager answered.
"It's still far away if I use a car, if I just swim it's closer, I'll be there soon," Lixue answered the gay manager.
The gay manager was silent as the male and female models looked at them including the photographer and his assistant.
"Let's eat first before doing a photoshoot for the valentines and summer collection." the gay manager said to everyone.
They went to the restaurant where they ate last night.
"Xiaojie Chen, someone is looking for Shuji Liao and she is a woman, I asked her who she is and how she got here at the resort." the woman whispered in black who suddenly approached Lixue.
(Lady)
Lixue looked at their bodyguards before standing up and saying goodbye to the comrades who looked at her in surprise.
"I'll just look for something at the entrance of the resort," Lixue said as she looked seriously at her companions before leaving to leave the restaurant.
Lixue went to the lobby where the receptionist's desk was. Lixue saw the person she didn't expect to arrive at the resort.
"Who are you?" Lixue said to the girl who was shouting for a staff.
"And who are you? Are you the manager of this resort? Talk to your employee, they say that I am not allowed to take a hotel room without a reservation fee and that I must know the owner of the resort, I don't care if I don't know the owner I don't know the owner because I just got here." the woman answered, she raised her eyebrows at Lixue when she faced her.
"Excuse me, miss? But, it is forbidden to take a hotel room in this resort if the person is not from here, and the owner of the resort also does not allow to enter, without permission from the owner of the resort, and what you did was trespassing, we can take you to the police station if that's what you're doing." Lixue said to the woman who furrowed her brow even more.
Her colleagues were behind Lixue and followed her immediately because they were wondering what the person in black suit whispered. The bodyguards saw them and blocked them from getting close and the tourists booking hotel rooms.
"Who are you? What about the foreigners who are booking now, are they also trespassing?" the woman answered.
"Me? I'm the daughter of the owner of the resort even though the owner doesn't allow me to let other people in, without him knowing and those people and their spouses are the people here, I'm sorry miss but you need to leave before I call the police, who are you and if you are known in the country I don't care because you are in our territory and you are causing a scandal, who are you and why are you here?" Lixue asked the woman as their bodyguards approached her.
"I'm Aiya Gayag, the daughter of a well-known businessman in the country and who are you the owner of this resort? Maybe my daddy is even richer than your family, but your family's resort is small." Aiya said to Lixue that she made it difficult.
"Come on! Do you see the arch before you get here and before you get off the main road and come from there with us? You must have seen that there are no houses next to it because that's all in our family the land we do not allow anyone to set foot on our land without my daddy's permission, am I? I am the daughter and legitimate daughter of Jiang Chen, a tycoon billionaire in China." Lixue said as she jerked Aiya's arm and pointed to the homeless person attached to the resort.
"Oh!" Aiya said as she was held by her arm.
"Get out of here while I'm still waiting, tell me you disrespected the guest, but what you did today was trespassing, whoever said this to you, get ready because HIS/HER LIFE IS THE REPRESENTATION OF WHAT HE/SHE SAID TO YOU, who are you following at the resort, you don't have aim here if you don't go," Lixue replied to Aiya, who was suddenly quietly, and her companions just stopped.
"We're about to leave but you're the one to be scared because you might eat what you told me to get ready," Aiya said as she tormented Lixue before walking out of the entrance.
Everyone saw Lixue raise her hand and the bodyguards next to her nodded before following the person who left. She turned her back and saw her companions staring at her, she saw their frightened looks. She approached them and spoke after approaching her companions.
"Manager, I need three hours of rest before I do the photoshoot and I will talk to dad about what happened," Lixue said as she looked at the gay manager and at Shuji staring at her.
"You're scary! Your voice was different when you were talking to the one who introduced herself as Aiya Gayag." the gay manager said as he looked at Lixue.
"I feel like I know her, don't I, darling, she is Aiya, the girl who bullies at our school," Erika said as she followed Aiya who was walking away.
Shuji looked at the walking woman and Lixue with a serious face.
"I don't remember because it was a long time ago," Shuji said to his girlfriend.
Lixue had already said goodbye to her fellow models, but what she didn't know, one of the staff of Sakura Modeling Agency followed her.
"Don't follow her," the woman said in black suit the staff fell silent and looked away.
Hours later
Lixue was no longer in the photoshoot and the gay manager approached Shuji and asked where the mansion was and he was going to see Lixue. After their photoshoot, they went to a restaurant.
"I can't say to everyone, manager, even though she talked to me about it, I can't tell you about that, what are you going to ask her?" Shuji asked.
"Just give this letter to her." the gay manager said to Shuji and held out the folded paper.
Shuji immediately stood up and quickly left the restaurant. The bodyguards accompanied him and the staff followed them when Shuji was about to go to the secret pathway, the bodyguard pulled him before shaking her head. They went to the restricted area and when they got close, suddenly a mirror came down from above causing Shuji to turn around.
"What?" Shuji said.
"Someone followed us before we got here." the bodyguard said to Shuji.
"There is a mirror there?" Shuji asked.
"Yes, when the mirror feels that someone else wants to come in, the suddenly goes down, I don't know if there was hit by the glass." the bodyguard said and they entered the mansion.
"Where is Lixue?" Shuji asked the one who greeted him as his companion in black left.
"Xiaojie Chen is in the underground training room." the person answered.
(Lady)
"Can I go there or will I wait," Shuji said.
"We will go with you and Xiaojie Chen knows that you might look for her when you come back here, she has warned us in case she has been there since she returned here." the man in black suit answered.
(Lady)
They walked to the stairs and turned down the stairs to their room.
"Xiaojie Chen?" the person in black called when they reached a door with a large iron design.
(Lady)
"Leave him there." a voice said in the room.
The iron door opened and the sweaty Lixue showed to Shuji. He was dragged inside and was shocked when he saw the whole interior of the room with Chinese, Japanese, Greek, and other weapons found in other countries.
"Now, Shuji, practice the basic self-defense so that when you have an opponent, you can protect yourself even without me, but you won't use it yet, you saw someone, follow you to the resort earlier," Lixue said.
"Just before I got here, there was someone following us with a mirror in the middle of the road to the restricted area," Shuji said as he sighed afterward.
"Someone will be seen on CCTV that people will not notice that there is CCTV in that area," Lixue answered and passed the boxing gloves.
Lixue changed Shuji's clothes before they went to the adjoining room where they came from.
"Call our manager first and tell him you're sleepy so they don't have to look for you outside," Lixue said.
"Alright, it's like a gym on the other side, it's full of weapons from different countries, but here it's cool..I might have to practice in case someone does something bad to me or Erika and me." Shuji said and called the manager pretending his voice was sleepy.
They both positioned themselves inside the battle ring. Lixue smirked when Shuji aimed at their bodyguard that he had sent.
"You can do it! Take out your anger so you can punch your opponent better." Lixue said to Shuji.
Shuji has been good at trying to learn to fight. Lixue taught Shuji the basic martial art of self-defense.
"Let's practice again tomorrow, Shuji let's eat dinner," Lixue said and through the door, they exited the hallway that was lit on both sides.
Shuji and Lixue walked then Lixue pressed something and the wall became an elevator and she also told Shuji the code.
"The path you and my bodyguard used to pass is still connected, do you know how to get in there?" Lixue asked.
"He tells me the code every time we enter the room and I already know this?" Shuji asked.
"It's been a long time, but because the bodyguard takes care of the whole house, it still looks good, it doesn't look old," Lixue said.
They crossed the stairs walked into the dining area and saw that the food was already served. They both sat down and ate dinner. A few minutes after eating they went to the stairs and walked to their room to rest.
