Alexi Leonardo deserves to be the male lead of this world.
Apparently, he noticed that somebody's loitering in the private race car garage, which also houses his own race car. Fearing he would encounter dangers in the race track, he decided to install a stealth camera and captured the crime committed by the group of scums. Discussions erupted everywhere as the police arrested the criminals, even Lissa who 'incited' the crime was taken in only for questioning since there was no real evidence against her and she can't be detained. At least Killian and some people would now think twice before associating with her.
Even Xi Xie was asked to come but Marco stopped the officer, so he was interviewed on the spot. He told the police that he couldn't come right away because of the family meeting, but was sent a video in the morning by an anonymous person. He then kept informing Killian not to race and wait for him in person. Thankfully he arrived before they were on the tracks. Both videos from Xi Xie and Alexi were compared, and they were taken from different angles. But Xi Xie's were clearer and was really fit for evidence against them. Of course, It was thanks to White Bug that Xi Xie can get the best view of the act.
The Philip family heard about the incident of intentional harm, directly fired Lissa Gray and removed her scholarship, then sent their best lawyer to deal with the group. Xi Xie was sure Uncle and Aunt would never let any of them go.
White Bug can't believe it was that easy. He thinks this mission world was already half over.
Drake and Killian pulled Xi Xie aside after the police's questioning.
"Why are you with that Marco Roselli? If you're just playing, don't touch that man. You won't be able to bear the consequences." Drake warned seriously.
"Bro, do you really think I'm so great and have the guts to do that? Sorry to disappoint you," He stared at him incredulously.
Killian inserted something insulting right away, "Right, I know he's clearly out of your league. That's why I'm wondering why you?"
"Are you shitting me? Don't forget without this meddlesome face you would be lying in the hospital right now calling your momma and dadda."
"Thanks, dad." He smiled sheepishly.
"I don't have a bastard son like you."
"Baby," the baritone voice calling out the endearment made all three of them shudder, especially Xi Xie. He was confused as to how it became 'Baby' in just a few hours from initially just being called 'fiancée'. "Are they your friends? Won't you introduce me?" Marco's arm instinctively found its way around his waist and stayed there territorially.
"Haha," Xi Xie swallowed the lump in his throat. "This is Killian Philip, the arrogant idiot earlier. Don't mind him if he started talking, there's nothing good coming out of his mouth. He's gullible but he's really generous. The other is Drake Stone, he is the only sane person around us. If you need help with something or anything, he can do it. Don't worry, it's all legal."
"Why do I think you're listing my crimes when you introduced me?" Killian whined.
"Prove you aren't easily manipulated first then I'll introduce you properly next time." He winked playfully then captured the sinful hands rubbing his waist and tightly grasped it to keep it from moving somewhere dangerous. "This is my fiancé, Marco Roselli. I think you know who he is. We both came from the family meeting earlier that is why we were late."
Both of them briefly grasped the hand extended by Marco for a handshake and greeted him politely.
"Xi Xie is a little lazy but he will not intentionally harm or betray his friends and family. Please take care of him," Drake seriously told Marco who nodded amiably and kissed Xi Xie's temples. The latter shook again unconsciously.
Killian decided to inject unsolicited advice again, "Sir, are you sure you want to marry him? I really think he's useless to you."
"Why are you even here?! You haven't even thanked your other savior and you're already ruining the other savior's prestige! Ungrateful brat! Go and thank the person!"
Xi Xie decided to thrown the damn person away by kicking his behind. He doesn't even know what would make this moron happy when his mind is full of air. He can already sense they may stay a little longer even without the female lead's threat. Xi Xie watched intently as Killian made his way to Alexi Leonardo and bowed 90° degrees right away. Hopefully he won't say too much waste and make the other party disgusted.
Xi Xie breathed a relieved sigh when Drake said his goodbye and he finally realized he completed a great step in his mission. It was pretty good for a starter so he decided to be extra good to the villain boss today.
"Do you have somewhere you want to be? I'll accompany you, my treat too." Xi Xie proudly offered.
Marco smiled dangerously as he lowered his head and whispered to the little monkey's cute little ear, "Baby, did you know I was supposed to attend the FED-Ex this afternoon? And there is also the Grayson Family Banquet which I was scheduled to attend tonight. Oh look, it's just an hour away. Baby, what do you suggest I do? Hmm?"
Xi Xie didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You clearly said you were taking the day off."
The aggrieved face made Marco laugh a little, "I was expecting the baby would take me on a date, not a crime scene. Anyway, I'll let the baby off the hook but I need compensation." The voice was like the angel's whisper which kept fanning the fiery grief in his aggrieved soul.
"What do you want me to do then?" Xi Xie thought lazy days are coming after this great feat, but the word compensation held him back.
"The baby is like a soft pillow, I think I need to hold it every night."
'Pillow, my fart,' said Xi Xie inwardly.
"Don't you think so as well?" Marco waited for an answer but it never came so he decided to throw the best bait for the little monkey. "My room has a king-sized bed, with the softest feather pillows, which was customized from England. Kings and queens use this type of bed." Xi Xie's interest was definitely captured. "My room has a personal fridge, with all the sweets and snacks anyone would love to eat. All types of drinks good for the baby are stored in it. Even the fat worm can enjoy the life there. There is a wall-mounted 75-inch flat screen TV and a comfy sofa bed as well."
The sweet temptation made Xi Xie and the system in his mind drool, "...Am I allowed to oversleep during weekends?"
"The baby can," whispered Marco seductively. He can accompany him as well, of course. "The baby agrees, right?"
Xi Xie decided to be a little more reserved, not knowing his silly smile already gave him away. "I'll decide when I see it for myself."
Marco chuckled amusedly before kissing his temples, "But before that, accompany me to the banquet first. You need to get used to attending these kind of events."
Xi Xie nodded obediently, already dreaming awake of the sweet bed and snacks awaiting in the new home.
Marco smiled triumphantly after successfully abducting the little monkey in his room. He quickly sent a message to the butler at home, telling them to complete what needs to be completed within the estimated time, money is not a problem.
"Bro! I'm leaving first! Mr. Leonardo said he'll drop me off!" Killian's yelling from afar woke Xi Xie up.
Xi Xie was dumbfounded after hearing that. That brat even made his savior drive for him, is he insane? Xi Xie saw Alexi looking over their spot and his eyes lingered on Marco before he nodded at them both and guiding Killian out the arena. Xi Xie observed for a while, and seeing that Alexi doesn't seem to be hostile or disgusted with Killian he let it all go. He can't help lamenting that the male lead is such a good person, he could even take care of a cannon fodder respectfully.
The villain boss seemed to be fine as well, except that he scares him deeply. He doesn't even mind the pet worm to be kept in his room... ahem, their room. Xi Xie decided that from today onwards he'll spoil the villain boss so good so he could also live a carefree and extra-comfortable life. For now, he and the system will watch the developments for a while. Too much meddling may backfire, so to ensure a stable flow they must watch the progress first, gauge possible threats and learn what are Killian's dreams and aspirations. For now, the last one is a little hard to achieve since he doesn't even know what's inside Killian's brain other than arrogance, hedonism and thrill. Xi Xie thinks he better wait until Killian's exposed to society a little more, to prevent impulsive decisions which may affect Killian's future.
He may be sent to make Killian happy, which only needs a full happiness bar. But since he's getting involved in someone's life, he must ensure Killian's happiness won't be replaced with regrets when he's old and Xi Xie's already gone from this world. He wants Killian's happiness to be long-lasting, and not momentary just because of a mission.
Perhaps in his original world he failed to get that kind of happiness, that is why he doesn't want the mission target to experience the same.
