Mysterious Girl meets Loverboy I

Chapter 20

Lixue, looking up at the bright light, noticed Shuji still sleeping in the underground. She remembered that Shuji had practiced with them the previous night.

Lixue was on Shuji’s side when she saw him asleep. She knew Shuji already knew her true identity beyond being an agent.

“Lixue—Leatrice?” Shuji said, waking up.

“It’s the last day of the photoshoot. What other alibi can we use to stay on the island without raising suspicion? We said your father has something to say to us.” Lixue replied, getting up and stretching.

“Especially with my girlfriend, Lixue. She’s jealous of you,” Shuji said, getting up and wiping the cloth from his face.

“Does your girlfriend not trust your friends or companions?” Lixue asked Shuji.

Shuji didn’t respond to Lixue’s question, and they left the room to go back upstairs. After a few minutes together, they left the house and headed to the resort.

“It’s been a while since you and Shuji arrived here,” the gay manager said to Lixue and Shuji. They both looked at each other.

“I handle our business, and Shuji just woke up,” Lixue replied to the gay manager.

“That’s true, manager. I woke up last night feeling exhausted from our four days of photo shoots,” Shuji said, kissing his girlfriend on the lips as she approached him.

“This is our last day! We’ll return to Manila later tonight,” the gay manager announced to everyone.

“Manager, Lixue and I can leave here. I’ll accompany Lixue to her resort before we return to Manila,” Shuji replied to his gay manager, looking at Erika.

“How can you leave the photoshoot schedule?” the photographer asked Shuji.

“Please cancel my schedule and Lixue’s. If it’s not necessary, we’ll return to Manila with us tonight. However, she has something to take care of. I can’t leave her alone,” Shuji answered to his gay manager and photographer.

“Can I be left here?” Erika asked her gay manager, who simply looked at him.

“Me too!” Akatsuki said, staring at Lixue.

“Alright, everyone, the setup is still the same if we leave here at the resort. If we don’t have to handle it, Shuji and I will take care of it,” Lixue replied seriously to everyone. Afterward, she glanced at Akatsuki and Erika.

They headed to the location of their photoshoot. The people on the island greeted Lixue, and she simply nodded.

“They know Leatrice, but they don’t even mention her name,” the talking models whispered.

“No need to repeat my name because they know me,” Lixue replied to her fellow model who was speaking.

“Even as an angel, they know?” Shuji whispered to Lixue.

Lixue simply shook her head and didn’t respond to Shuji’s question. She then looked at Shuji’s girlfriend before shaking her head again.

“What do they know?” Erika asked her boyfriend as she also looked at Lixue.

“Where did you go last night, and you and Shuji never returned?” Akatsuki asked Lixue.

“I had something to do at the resort and couldn’t say goodbye because I remembered I hadn’t returned in the evening,” Lixue replied to Akatsuki.

“I fell asleep in my room when I couldn’t find her. Her bodyguard told me where she was, and I mentioned it earlier. Last night, I felt the energy of our four-day photoshoot,” Shuji replied to his friend and girlfriend.

When they arrived at the photoshoot location, Hyo was placed first and taken to the room they had rented. The photographer made him stand in the center.

Hyo was wearing a long-sleeved polo shirt and a necktie, and he was instructed to put his hands in his pants pockets.

Hyo changed into his clothes, and a cloth was blocking him while he was changing.

“Put on the hat, hold it, and smile modestly,” the photographer instructed Hyo.

Hyo immediately complied with the photographer’s instructions. Then, the photographer took Hyo aside and called the other models.

While Shuji was waiting for the photographer to call,

“Darling, can we talk?” Erika called her boyfriend.

Shuji glanced at the photographer and Lixue before confronting his girlfriend.

“Okay,” Shuji replied to his girlfriend as they walked away from their colleagues.

“Are you leaving here at their resort?” Erika asked her boyfriend.

(What are you doing? Will you leave here?)

“Yes, I’ll accompany Lixue here,” Shuji replied to his girlfriend.

(Yes, I’ll go with Lixue.)

“Why you? Maybe that’s why they’re alone. Besides, their family has a bodyguard.” Erika said to her boyfriend as she looked at Lixue who turned her back.

“I don’t like it, but my father asked me to accompany Lixue here. Yes, they have a bodyguard, but not always with her, as you can see,” Shuji replied to his girlfriend.

(Although I don’t like it, my father asked me to go with Lixue here. Yes, they have a bodyguard, but not always with her.)

“I want to leave and be with you where you are now. I’m so jealous of her that she takes me out of time to be with you,” Erika and her boyfriend started crying.

(I want to leave and be with you where you are now. I’m so jealous of her that she takes me out of time to be with you.)

“I miss you too, but I just got away from you. For her, I want to get to know her well since we just met,” Shuji replied to his girlfriend, still wanting to know something about Lixue.

(I miss you too, but I just got away from you. For her, I want to get to know her well since we just met.)

“I’m scared, but I’ll trust you even if I’m jealous of her. Don’t just ruin my trust,” Erika replied to her boyfriend as she touched his cheek.

(I’m scared, but I’ll trust you even if I’m jealous of her. Don’t just ruin my trust.)

Shuji smiled at his girlfriend before kissing her on the lips. Little did they know that eyes were watching their kiss.

“Shuji, let’s go!” Akatsuki called out to his friend.

“There it is!” Shuji exclaimed, spotting Lixue still looking.

Erika and Shuji, along with their friends, approached the photographer’s position and took their places.

“Akatsuki, please let go of your long hair. I’ll get a great angle of your face. And you, Shuji, fold your arms with a slight smile.” The photographer instructed the two friends.

“Second shot and last shot this month,” the photographer said to Akatsuki and Shuji.

“What posture should I adopt?” Shuji and Akatsuki asked the photographer.

“Post something that makes the girl look cute. Akatsuki, and you, Shuji, my staff will blow bubbles and pretend you’re going to catch something.” The photographer replied, and his staff promptly acted out the scene.

“Nice shot! Next, Leatrice and Erika,” the gay manager called out to Lixue and Erika.

“Erika, just fix your hair and smile naturally. Three… two… one!” The photographer instructed after taking Erika’s picture.

The photographer then called Lixue, and they were taken aback by her unusual appearance in the red dress.

“She’s beautiful!” Akatsuki exclaimed, striking his friend on the head in surprise.

“Sit there, Lixue. Gay, have her hair blown, and then touch it. Lixue, put your arm around the table.” The photographer instructed, aiming to make Lixue look even more appealing.

The photographer called Erika again and asked her to pose with a surprised expression and hold her hair.

Lixue changed her clothes and added fake bangs to her hair.

“Wow, you’re beautiful,” the hair stylist purred, complimenting Lixue.

Lixue adorned herself with a neat earring and removed the curtain that had been blocking her view. The male models were captivated by Lixue’s beauty, while Erika and Hyo were speechless. Akatsuki couldn’t help but moan, and Shuji simply stared at Lixue.

The photographer instructed Lixue to place her hand on her waist, smile, and then strain her muscles.

After a few minutes, they gathered for dinner before the photographer, staff, gay manager, and fellow models, along with Akatsuki, Hyo, and Erika, departed the resort.

Lixue and Shuji escorted them to the airport. For the last time, Shuji and Erika shared a tender kiss without a care in the world, oblivious to the two couples watching them.

As they walked away, Erika turned to her boyfriend and said, “Text me and call me, darling.”

Shuji responded with a kiss on her forehead and said, “Yes, darling.”

Hyo called out to his cousin, “Come on, cousin.”

Akatsuki hugged his friend and said, “Take care, Brad. Take care of her.” He then followed the two cousins who had already entered the airport.

Lixue and Shuji immediately returned to the resort. They didn’t notice the person who had been watching them before. Once home, they went straight to their own room to rest.
