Duan Lao sighed, "Oh my God, why does it seem like I can't keep anything from you two? This feeling...truly makes me feel like I've lived my twenty-some years in vain; I can't even feel proud of my past anymore."
"Haha!"
"I admit that I started paying attention to you after you saved me."
"Hmm," Mo Liancheng smiled without saying a word.
"I also admit...I had some motives when I got close to you," Duan Lao laid it all out. Sometimes, the more you try to hide something, the more it turns out the opposite of what you expect. Talking about it, on the other hand, removes some of that caution, adding a bit more openness and sincerity.
Seeing that neither of them said anything, Duan Lao continued, "I have some troubles, as you know. Except for Gu Lin, the skills of the other bodyguards around me are... not quite satisfactory. For my safety and a bit of benefit. So, I thought of keeping you two to give me a hand. However, the more I look at you, the less you seem like ordinary people—"
