Become a Knight Across the World

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window and fell on the pristine white hospital bed. Lin Yue slowly opened her eyes, her consciousness gradually returning from its hazy state.

She gently rubbed her eyes, her gaze filled with confusion and doubt, staring blankly at the unfamiliar surroundings. She checked her phone; it was already past nine o'clock. For a moment, she felt disoriented, unsure of where she was. But in the next instant, memories surged into her mind like a raging tide.

Just thinking about yesterday's scene made her face turn bright red, as if it had been roasted by fire, as if it could bleed.

She subconsciously reached up and touched her buttocks. Although some time had passed, the burning pain was still so vivid, as if she had just experienced it. Recalling the scene after eating late-night snacks last night, Lin Yue couldn't help but grit her teeth.

At that time, Sister Yun, using the excuse that Lin Yue hadn't finished her barbecue, suddenly started hitting her with a smile when they returned to the ward together. And the force she used was absolutely merciless; she didn't hold back at all! Each slap was delivered with full force, causing Lin Yue to gasp in pain and her buttocks to swell. She should have used her internal energy for defense.

"Hmph, Sister Yun definitely did it on purpose! She's absolutely looking for an excuse to beat me up!" Lin Yue stood on the hospital bed, pouting angrily, thinking resentfully. She looked like an annoyed kitten.

She really couldn't understand why Sister Yun always wanted to spank her. Did she find it fun? The more Lin Yue thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.

Just then, the door to the ward was gently pushed open, and a familiar figure appeared in the doorway—it was Yun Xiling. She was carrying a bag full of food, and her face was beaming with a smile.

"Oh, my little darling is finally awake!" Yun Xiling quickly walked to the bedside, placed the bag she was carrying on the bedside table, then reached out and touched Lin Yue's head, smiling as she said, "You must be starving after sleeping for so long, right? Get up and eat something. I bought you your favorite steamed buns!"

As she spoke, she opened the bag and took out a box of steaming hot xiaolongbao (soup dumplings). Instantly, the entire room was filled with an enticing aroma.

Lin Yue pouted angrily and turned her head away in a huff, saying, "Hmph, I'm not going to talk to you! You hit me so hard last night, my butt still hurts!" As she spoke, she reached out and rubbed her buttocks, as if that would ease the pain.

Yun Xiling wore an innocent expression, blinking her big, watery eyes, and explained softly, "Oh, dear Yueyue, I was only thinking of you. Look at you, you were still up so late last night, I just wanted you to get some rest. Besides, spanking you is actually for your own good, it can help improve your blood circulation." She then winked playfully at Lin Yue.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue turned her head with a hint of doubt, her bright eyes fixed on Yun Xiling, as if trying to discern something from her face.

After a while, she asked with some doubt, "Really? Sister Yun, don't lie to me. I feel like you're deliberately bullying me." Although she still had doubts, Lin Yue's tone was no longer as harsh as before.

Yun Xiling nodded quickly, reached out and gently stroked Lin Yue's hair, saying softly, "Silly girl, of course it's true! How could I bear to lie to you? Hurry up and get up to eat the steamed buns, otherwise they'll get cold and won't taste good. Do you really want to get another beating first thing in the morning? Hehe, but if you don't behave, I'd be happy to teach you a lesson again, hee hee hee..." At the end, Yun Xiling couldn't help but laugh out loud excitedly.

Although Lin Yue was still somewhat unwilling, she couldn't help but shrink back upon hearing Sister Yun's "threat." Coupled with the wafting aroma of steamed buns, her stomach seemed to be under a spell, beginning to rumble uncontrollably. Finally, under the powerful temptation of the food, Lin Yue gritted her teeth and slowly sat up in bed.

Yun Xiling narrowed her eyes slightly, a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashing across them. She had originally thought she could have another chance to play with her hands.

Lin Yue gently picked up a small steamed bun and put it in her mouth, instantly captivated by its deliciousness. The bun was not only incredibly tasty, but also at the perfect temperature—neither too hot nor too cold. When she bit into it, the savory broth immediately filled her mouth, a wonderful flavor that was simply intoxicating, utterly delicious.

Lin Yue suddenly asked, "By the way, sister, since you said spanking can promote blood circulation, have you... and my brother...?" After all, Sister Yun and her brother Lin Mu are a couple.

Hearing this question, Yun Xiling was taken aback at first, then a blush crept onto her face. She coughed lightly and said, "I've tried, but your brother is extremely resistant to these things, no matter how I try to persuade him, it's no use. And what's worse, when I hit him, he's like a wooden doll, he doesn't react at all, but it hurts my hand terribly!" As she spoke, Yun Xiling angrily took another big bite of the steamed bun in her hand: "Besides, I'm your sister-in-law, and you're my own sister! It's only natural for an older sister to beat her younger sister!"

Then, as if she had thought of something amusing, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and then, taking advantage of Lin Yue's inattention, she took a bite out of the xiaolongbao that Lin Yue had bitten off. Chewing as she chuckled, she said, "Hehe, yours feels so good, little sister." She then winked at Lin Yue.

Lin Yue's face flushed red instantly. She lowered her head and stammered, "Sister... Sister, you're joking, aren't you?" She secretly rejoiced that her brother wasn't there.

Seeing Lin Yue's shy expression, Yun Xiling laughed even harder: "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Eat up, and then come with me to get discharged!"

Actually, Yun Xiling could have been discharged yesterday, but she deliberately delayed until today, all for Lin Yue's sake.

...

Early in the morning, Lu Chen hurriedly arrived at the building where Li Yuetian lived. It turned out that Li Yuetian had sent Lu Chen a message early that morning, hoping that he could come and pick him up so that they could go to the station together to meet Tang Wenwen.

This surprised Lu Chen quite a bit. Just yesterday, they had clearly agreed that he would go alone to pick up Tang Wenwen, and then meet up with Li Yuetian and Lin Yue at 1 PM. But now Li Yuetian had suddenly changed his mind; there must be some special reason behind it. Could something unexpected have happened?

Despite his doubts, Lu Chen quickly agreed to Li Yuetian's request and rushed to his apartment building. Upon arrival, Lu Chen sent Li Yuetian a message confirming his arrival and then waited patiently.

Not long after, Li Yuetian hurriedly walked out of the building. However, when Lu Chen saw Li Yuetian in front of him, he was startled and blurted out, "Yuetian, you...you have insomnia? What's wrong with you?"

Standing before him was Li Yuetian, whose face was as pale as paper, with heavy dark circles under his eyes. He looked extremely haggard, as if he had experienced immense torment overnight.

"Lu Chen, I..." Before Li Yuetian could finish speaking, tears started streaming down his face.

This sudden situation really confused Lu Chen. Seeing Li Yuetian's appearance, Lu Chen quickly went over to help him onto his electric scooter and comforted him, "Don't worry, brother, there's still plenty of time. Let's talk slowly on the way." As he spoke, Lu Chen thoughtfully handed him a tissue, patted Li Yuetian's shoulder encouragingly, and said, "A real man doesn't cry, he sheds blood and sweat. If you have anything on your mind, just tell me. Don't cry."

Sitting on the electric scooter, the two rode against the wind. The wind howled past their ears and stung their faces, but this did not dampen their spirits for conversation. After a long while, Li Yuetian seemed to have mustered up his courage and slowly began to recount the whole story.

"That's how it is. I always felt that her voice on the other end of the phone was strange, as if she was deliberately suppressing some emotion, and she would occasionally make those... such moaning sounds! At that moment, my heart skipped a beat, and countless bad thoughts flashed through my mind... She..." At this point, Li Yuetian suddenly stopped, as if saying another word would cause him unbearable pain.

In fact, Lu Chen had always been aware of Li Yuetian's feelings for Lin Yue. And he was also aware of the scene Li Yuetian had just described.

After all, similar plots are not uncommon in those diverse videos and novels. At this moment, Lu Chen completely understood why Li Yuetian was so heartbroken.

Lu Chen patted Li Yuetian on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, maybe things aren't what you think. Did you ask her directly what happened?"

Li Yuetian shook his head: "I dare not, I'm afraid of that answer..."

Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "How about this, let's go pick up Sister Wen first and ask her if she has any ideas. After all, it might be a bit inappropriate for us to ask about this kind of thing, and besides..." He paused. "I agree with you, I also believe that she is not that kind of person."

"Mmm." Li Yuetian nodded like a wronged little wife.
