"It's almost time, let's go in," Gu Fenglin said gently, glancing at his watch.

"Wait, Yunyun hasn't even finished speaking to me. It's not very polite of you to take her away like this." Seeing that Gu Fenglin was about to take Chu Yun away in front of him, Han Cheng'an couldn't hold back any longer and said in an unfriendly tone.

Looking at the two of them, Chu Yun felt a bit overwhelmed.

"Yunyun and I have something to say. Could you please excuse us for a moment?" Han Cheng'an glanced at Gu Fenglin.

Han Cheng'an originally thought that Gu Fenglin would definitely not agree, but to his surprise, he readily agreed: "Okay."

"I'll go in first and wait for you at the school gate." This was said to Chu Yun.

Chu Yun nodded.

Gu Fenglin turned and left, and no one noticed the slight upturn of his lips.

Han Cheng'an is still too inexperienced; now is not a good time to continue that topic.

Even if Chu Yun was temporarily moved by Han Cheng'an's sincerity, she should have come back to her senses after his appearance.

How could I possibly accept Han Cheng'an's confession!

Sure enough, Gu Fenglin slowed down and, with his exceptional mental strength, heard their conversation clearly.

"Yunyun, what were you trying to say to me? I'm listening."

"...Han Chengan, thank you for your affection, but I have no intention of dating right now."

"sorry."

Gu Fenglin couldn't quite hear what they said after that, but that was enough.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he quickened his pace to leave.

Let's talk about Chu Yun and Han Cheng'an.

After being rejected by Chu Yun, Han Cheng'an froze.

Although he knew that Chu Yun might reject him, Han Cheng'an still felt a pang of sadness when he heard these words.

He was born into wealth, and his family treated him like a treasure; he could have anything he wanted.

But now he truly understands what it means to desire something but not get it, and what it means to be helpless.

He had developed such strong selfish feelings for Chu Yun at some point.

Love arises without warning and deepens with time, but it turns out it was all just wishful thinking on his part.

She even said she was very grateful to him and that he was a good person.

If I'm really that good to you, why don't you like me?

Xie Chuyun, you big liar!

"I understand. No matter what, I'll wait for you."

Han Cheng'an felt ashamed of his own words, but he was doing it willingly.

Han Cheng'an's voice trembled slightly at the end, and Chu Yun looked at him with a worried expression.

"Go inside quickly. I'm worried about Ke'ai being home alone. I'll head back now." Han Cheng'an said, then turned and left, not even waiting for Chu Yun to say goodbye.

Chu Yun watched his disordered steps, watching his figure grow smaller and smaller until he disappeared.

She frowned, but ultimately did not call out to Han Cheng'an.

After pausing for a while, Chu Yun slowly walked into the school.

"Are you alright?" Gu Fenglin stepped forward and asked with concern as Chu Yun entered.

These words completely pulled Chu Yun back to reality from her earlier reluctance.

"I am fine."

Gu Fenglin smiled and said, "It's good that you're alright."

That's what she said, but Chu Yun's expression was still rather unpleasant.

Gu Fenglin felt he needed to add fuel to the fire.

"Chu Yun, I'm sorry." Gu Fenglin suddenly changed the subject.

"Huh? Why should I apologize?" Chu Yun looked at Gu Fenglin with a puzzled expression, waiting for him to explain.

"Actually, I came here because I overheard your conversation with Cheng'an."

“I think you should focus on your studies right now, and you have a physical fitness competition in a month. You shouldn’t waste your energy on these little romances.”

"Moreover, I could tell that you didn't like Cheng'an, and I was afraid of putting you in a difficult position, so I stepped in and interrupted your conversation with Cheng'an." Gu Fenglin looked apologetic.

If Chu Yun initially felt that Gu Fenglin's deliberate appearance and interference in her affairs was somewhat offensive, then after hearing his explanation, her displeasure quickly vanished.

Regardless, Gu Fenglin was indeed thinking of her.

Han Cheng'an's sudden confession did put her in a difficult position.

"Senior Gu, thank you for thinking of me so much. You're right, I should focus more and put all my energy into my studies. I've already taken care of Han Cheng'an's matter, so you don't need to worry about me anymore," Chu Yun said.

"I'm glad you understand. We're allies now, and I want the best for you more than anyone else." A smile flashed in Gu Fenglin's eyes.

Chu Yun: "I understand!"

Gu Fenglin's smile deepened.

That's good. You should be like me, not be tempted by anyone, not rely on anyone, and get what you want step by step.

As long as you grow up to be the person I want you to be, I will always protect you.

Forging Room

Chu Yun took out the forging tools that Gu Fenglin had given her from her bracelet storage container.

"I didn't expect you to have mastered the forging of intermediate-level magical artifacts so quickly!" Gu Fenglin exclaimed in surprise.

The bracelet made by Chu Yun is not only finely carved, but the core of the array is also full of spiritual energy, making it a fine example of a mid-level magic artifact.

An ordinary blacksmith would need more than a month to make a magical artifact of this quality, involving meticulous carving and polishing.

But Chu Yun only used it for a few days, three days? Four days?

Gu Fenglin was once again amazed by Chu Yun's talent.

"I didn't expect it myself." Chu Yun originally just wanted to try and see if she could complete the final touch, but she didn't expect it to actually work.

"Looks like I should work harder, otherwise I won't be able to teach you anymore," Gu Fenglin joked to himself.

Chu Yun: "I can't compare to your forging talent, senior. I heard that you were able to forge intermediate-level magic weapons when you were ten years old."

In the end, Chu Yun's eyes shone with admiration.

Gu Fenglin chuckled: "But I started learning about magic weapon forging when I was seven years old. You are much more talented than me."

Chu Yun was surprised: "The Gu family is a family of blacksmiths. I heard that the younger generation in the family have to start learning how to forge magical artifacts from the age of three. How come you only started at the age of seven, senior?"

Gu Fenglin's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this.

"I wasn't very healthy when I was a child, so I started school late."

Chu Yun understood. "So that's how it is."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's review today's lessons and reinforce our basics." Gu Fenglin quickly changed the subject, clearly not wanting to discuss his family's affairs.

Chu Yun pretended not to notice his evasiveness and replied, "Okay, there are some things I don't understand today, so I'll trouble you to help me out, senior."

"Go ahead and tell me what you don't understand," Gu Fenglin said with a smile.

"that is......"

The two engaged in a lively conversation, asking and answering questions.

Chu Yun is quick-witted and often doesn't need Gu Fenglin to explain much. With just a little guidance, she can understand what Gu Fenglin means.

Intelligent and sensible students often receive special favor from teachers.

Gu Fenglin grew increasingly satisfied with Chu Yun, and his gaze toward her softened.

It took almost two hours for the two of them to finish their study session.

It was getting dark, so Gu Fenglin offered to escort Chu Yun back to her dormitory.
