Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty Who Was Short-Lived and Alluring

The events of the day left Chu Yun physically and mentally exhausted. She returned to her dormitory, bandaged her wounds, and went straight to sleep.

Fortunately, because Chu Yun was an orphan of the Golden Star, she lived in a single dormitory room and was undisturbed. She slept soundly until she woke up naturally.

Gu Fenglin taught the class the following morning.

Because of what happened yesterday, the students were all rather quiet today.

Gu Fenglin, on the other hand, remained completely normal.

Looking at Chu Yun again, she also had a calm expression.

But the students still felt something was wrong.

The way these two acted yesterday was already very unusual.

Adding Han Cheng'an to the mix makes it even stranger.

So everyone instinctively lowered their profile and looked forward to the end of get out of class.

Some, not wanting to miss out on trouble, stared intently at Chu Yun and Gu Fenglin, trying to uncover the secret between the two.

Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed.

Chu Yun and Gu Fenglin did not exchange any words throughout the entire process.

One student attends class attentively.

One student was listening attentively in class.

There's not a single flaw.

Time passed by, and soon it was time for get out of class to end.

Chu Yun packed up her books and tools, preparing to leave.

"Xie Chuyun, come out with me for a moment. The rest of you can leave now." After saying this, Gu Fenglin walked out of the classroom first.

The students' eyes darted between Gu Fenglin and Chu Yun, some in shock, others in curiosity.

Chu Yun was a little surprised, but she also had something to ask Gu Fenglin, so she followed him out without much hesitation.

The students watched Gu Fenglin and Chu Yun leave one after the other, exchanging knowing glances.

They scattered and left, and the rumors about Chu Yun and Gu Fenglin, after fermenting yesterday and today, spread throughout the entire Imperial University.

Gu Fenglin walked ahead and stopped only after entering the teachers' temporary rest room.

He turned around and watched Chu Yun walk towards him little by little.

When Chu Yun was about five or six steps away from Gu Fenglin, she stopped and looked up at him.

Gu Fenglin remained silent for a long time.

"Senior Gu, is there anything I can help you with?" Chu Yun asked.

Her voice was a little cold, and her eyes held a wary look.

"I didn't mean to cause you trouble or put you in a difficult position yesterday. I'm sorry."

Chu Yun's tense expression eased slightly.

I couldn't find you all day yesterday, and I was very worried.

"When I saw you were injured, I don't know why, but I actually lost control."

Looking back now, I realize I was being incredibly irrational.

"Chu Yun, I'm so sorry."

Gu Fenglin looked dejected, seemingly lost and in pain.

Yesterday, Chu Yun was too flustered. She was eager to get away from the crowd and her mind was full of Han Cheng'an. She was really rude to Gu Fenglin.

Hearing how worried he was about me now, I felt a pang of regret.

Gu Fenglin was only worried about her, but she not only didn't understand him, she even complained about him. She really didn't know what was good for her.

The wariness in Chu Yun's eyes slowly disappeared, and she said apologetically, "Senior Gu, I'm sorry. I've caused you trouble. I was ungrateful and should apologize to you."

“I didn’t mean to leave you yesterday. I was just too confused and wanted to get out of that predicament.”

"I understand, don't take it to heart," Gu Fenglin said gently.

"Chu Yun, I already know about how those people bullied you yesterday."

“I want to help you get rid of these prejudices and disdain once and for all.”

Chu Yun was slightly taken aback.

"Join me, and I will teach you diligently until you become a senior blacksmith. At that time, no one will dare to look down on you or bully you."

"I can give you strength—the strength to protect yourself."

"Chu Yun, are you willing to choose me and trust me?"

Chu Yun: "I..."

"Chu Yun, do you think the reason why Liujin Star has become like this today is because the people of Liujin Star have precious mineral veins, but they have no voice and no ability to protect this wealth. They can only become victims of those in power."

“You are the same now. You are beautiful and talented, and your future is limitless. But those people can slander and hurt you at will because of their family background.”

"The slander and rumors they spread about you behind your back are even worse than what you heard yesterday."

"Don't you want revenge? You think beating them up will make you feel better?"

"When you become a senior blacksmith and stand at a height that they can hardly reach, leaving them to look up to you for the rest of their lives, constantly worrying about your revenge and living in unease, that will be the real punishment for them."

When Gu Fenglin said this, his eyes shone with an extremely bright light, which was very captivating.

Chu Yun was indeed moved by his words.

Just because she is a girl and she is pretty, but she comes from a humble background, those people don't treat her like a human being. They assume she has no self-respect, assume the worst about her, and wantonly trample on her personality.

How could she possibly accept this? How could she possibly swallow this insult?

"You're right, I need to have the ability to protect myself."

"Senior Gu, please help me."

Chu Yun looked at Gu Fenglin with earnest eyes.

Gu Fenglin smiled.

He was right; Chu Yun was just like him.

Gentle on the surface, but unwilling to admit defeat at heart.

That familiar feeling returned.

Gu Fenglin saw his own reflection in Chu Yun once again.

—Intelligent, resilient, ambitious, and able to lie low.

It was through these means that he finally broke free from that muddy, dark home and secured the position of heir.

Only Gu Fenglin himself knows how arduous his journey has been.

Now, he will no longer be alone.

He will personally mold Chu Yun into another "him".

He will protect Chu Yun as he would protect his former self.

"Okay, let me help you!"

Han Cheng'an sat in the confinement room, legs crossed, completely unaware that his partner had been poached.

Thinking back on my heroic act of saving the damsel in distress yesterday, I felt a surge of pride.

Even when his grandfather, Marshal Han, dragged him back to the Han family by the ear and beat him with a dozen or so military sticks, he didn't feel any pain and gritted his teeth, refusing to admit his mistake.

Marshal Han was so angry at his reckless attitude that his heart ached.

"You disregard the law and engage in private fights! Look at the state you've become!"

"How could my Han family have such an unfilial descendant as you?"

"How can I entrust the Han family to you if you act like this?"

"You'll drive me crazy one day."

Hearing his grandfather say this, Han Chengan panicked a little.

"Grandpa, don't say that. The Han family still needs you. It's not my turn."

Grandma Han, who was standing nearby, also chimed in, "Alright, don't get so angry."

"In my opinion, Cheng'an did nothing wrong. You also found out how those good-for-nothings slandered that young girl behind her back. How could Cheng'an possibly tolerate that?"

When Marshal Han saw that his wife did not support him, and thinking about how his son and daughter-in-law were far away on the battlefield, and that this was the only child who had accompanied them since childhood, he felt sorry for them, threw away the stick in his hand, sighed and left.

Grandma Han: "Ignore him. If you like that girl, go after her. Grandma supports you!"

Han Cheng'an blushed instantly.

"Who...who said I like her?"
