After arriving at the busy shopping district filled with endless stalls, Song Shai started to mindlessly look around, waiting for the female lead's appearance. 

Right on cue, Huā Měilì came walking by with a few bodyguards, stopping at a small flower stall.

"Ah, now it's time for you to be a hero Lei Jun." Song Shai thought as she waited for the pinnacle moment.

Just then, a shady figure suddenly came running by, stealing the distracted Huā Měilì's coin purse.

"HEY! STOP! THIEF!" Huā Měilì yelled as her guards started to chase the shady figure.

 Unfortunately for them Song Shai had hired a very capable thief who would definitely not be caught by the likes of a few guards.

"...."

Silently Song Shai waited for Lei Jun to chase after the shady figure. 

Unfortunately for her, Lei Jun seemed nailed to his spot beside her. 

Not even seeming bothered by the commotion going on around them as he gently smiled like the sun towards Song Shai, Song Shai emotionlessly stared back at him.

"Lei Jun."

"Yes?" Lei Jun innocently asked still warmly smiling.

Song Shai: "...Why aren't you trying to catch the robber?"

"Why should I?" 

Song Shai's eye twitched, Lei Jun saw this and continued speaking. 

"It's not my place to go after petty thief's, my place is by my masters side. Only then can I protect you from the same fate as that woman who was stolen from." 

Song Shai looked at Lei Jun's "innocent" smile as her eyes and mouth slightly twitched.

"Lei Jun." 

"Yes?"

"I command you to follow the thief and get back what was stolen, but do not catch the thief, instead after retrieving what has been stolen bring it back to the unknown lady." 

Lei Jun's happy smile quickly shrunk as now he looked deeply reluctant, however hearing the direct command from Song Shai he could not refuse.

Bitterly he accepted the command. "...Yes." 

Although reluctant he immediately left Song Shai's side in order to swiftly catch the thief, feeling as though he were falling into one of Song Shai's schemes. 

He had been around her long enough to know when Song Shai was scheming but he didn't care, all he wanted was to hurry and get the stolen goods then go back to his master's side.

Due to Lei Jun constantly practicing to fight and defend in order to protect Song Shai, he had long ago achieved commendable skills. In a flash he was able to catch up to the perpetrator and get back the stolen goods. 

The thief ran away and he secured the stolen good's as ordered.

Uninterestedly he walked up to the unknown lady who had been robbed.

"I believe this belongs to you..." Lei Jun listlessly spoke.

"Yes! Thank you so much!" Huā Měilì happily spoke to the handsome man before her. 

When looking at him from afar she had never seen such a handsome man before and her heart began to immediately beat fast as her cheeks turned red. 

Excitedly the crowd that had been watching the whole thing started whispering wondering who the unknown man was.

Suddenly loud whispers were heard as a few recognized the unknown young man to be Lei Jun, the capitols most mysterious handsome young man. 

The whispers did not fall on deaf ears as Huā Měilì excitedly listened, she was surprised that the same man she was curious about had just saved her. 

"It must be fate!" She silently thought.

"Thank you Jun! Can I treat you out to some food as thanks for saving me?" Huā Měilì shyly asked while fully expecting him to agree. 

Unexpectedly however, he did not.

"You have no right to call my name in such a familiar way!" Lei Jun spoke in a cold tone as his dark eyes angrily swirled, not even Song Shai called him by his first name...

Lie Jun continued. "I have no intention to go anywhere with you, the only person I will ever eat with is her." 

Like this Lei Jun pulled away as he began walking back.

"W-wait!" Huā Měilì desperately called out to Lei Jun not caring about his previous harsh words, then suddenly as she was just about to reach out to him she felt something go past her feet causing her to fall towards the ground. 

Quickly her arms reached out for Lei Jun's broad back but it was useless, for as she fell Lei Jun continued walking, not even slightly turning to spare a glance at the fallen beauty.

Song Shai: "...." 

The Villain wondered how her plan could fail so greatly.



*Desert Note: The Villain is a master at scheming, (well duh, she's the villain) unfortunately Jun is too much of a wild card for her to factor in. (ᗒ ᗨᗕ)
