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

Chu Yun naturally noticed the fourth person in the room. Her gaze passed over Gu Fenglin and landed on Pei Shaojin.

Pei Shaojin met her gaze, and looking into Chu Yun's clear eyes, he felt a sudden pang of panic.

"Who are you anyway?"

"Why are you here?"

Chu Yun asked two questions in a row, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Pei Shaojin lowered his eyes and remained unusually silent.

Chu Yun was injured and had been lying in bed for a long time. In the past month, Pei Shaojin had hardly rested properly in order to find a way to save her, so he naturally had no time to think about what he should do when he saw Chu Yun again.

Chu Yun's question stumped Pei Shaojin.

"I......"

Chu Yun stared intently at Pei Shaojin, waiting for him to continue.

Pei Shaojin then looked up at Chu Yun, his eyes filled with deep emotion.

"I am Pei Shaojin."

Chu Yun didn't react after hearing this; she had no recollection of the name.

Chu Yun thought that after the person in front of her introduced himself, he should explain why he was there, so she quietly looked at Pei Shaojin and waited for his answer.

To everyone's surprise, Pei Shaojin stood there upright, showing no intention of continuing to speak.

He maintained his usual cold expression, his brows and eyes filled with an unchanging icy aura.

Pei Shaojin wasn't intentionally putting on a bad face in front of Chu Yun; it was just a habit, an unconscious way of thinking.

At this moment, Pei Shaojin's mind was racing, and his emotions were in turmoil.

Should he take this opportunity to explain why he abandoned her last time, or should he say that he secretly watched her competition and that's how he got the chance to be here?

The former is inappropriate, and the latter is even more inappropriate.

“I went back to school to take care of some things and happened to see you in danger, so I helped you up.”

“You saved me before, so I came to see you. I’m so happy to see you’re awake.”

Pei Shaojin omitted the fact that he had spied on Chu Yun and only mentioned the key points.

His words were brilliant. Although the preceding silence made the atmosphere visibly awkward, his two short sentences hit the nail on the head.

This both demonstrates that he helped Chu Yun and expresses his concern for her.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yun paused.

"You were the one who helped me up back then?" Chu Yun couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice, her gaze fixed on Pei Shaojin, her eyes changing several times, as if shocked and relieved.

Gu Fenglin noticed Chu Yun's gaze, and couldn't help but frown, his eyes quickly darting between Chu Yun and Pei Shaojin.

Han Cheng'an was even more impatient; what help?

When did Chu Yun get involved with Pei Shaojin like this?

Pei Shaojin appeared at the competition venue and caught Chu Yun. Later, he was very worried about Chu Yun's injury. Han Cheng'an felt that the relationship between Chu Yun and Pei Shaojin was not simple.

He and Gu Fenglin had asked Pei Shaojin how he and Chu Yun met, but Pei Shaojin gave vague answers, only saying that they met by chance. He had no idea that there was such a connection between them.

"What do you mean, 'help'? Yunyun, did you save Pei Shaojin?" Han Cheng'an asked, staring at Chu Yun with a look of anxiety in his eyes.

Chu Yun, however, did not notice Han Cheng'an's gaze and was only focused on Pei Shaojin.

Pei Shaojin nodded and answered Chu Yun's question, "I caught you."

Chu Yun gripped the corner of the blanket tightly, her knuckles turning pale.

"It was you." Chu Yun murmured to herself.

Chu Yun and Pei Shaojin both ignored Han Cheng'an, immersed in their own worlds. They looked at each other, so how could Han Cheng'an possibly look good?

"Yunyun, you haven't answered my question yet." Han Cheng'an suppressed the bitterness in his heart, looked at Chu Yun expectantly, and raised his voice a little.

Chu Yun felt as if she were waking from a dream.

"Huh? Cheng'an, what did you ask me?" she asked instinctively.

Han Cheng'an's eyes darkened.

"I'm sorry, Cheng'an." Chu Yun sensed Han Cheng'an's disappointment and apologized weakly.

Han Chengan let out a long sigh and forced a smile. "It's okay. You just woke up and you're not very energetic. It's normal that you didn't hear me."

He made up an excuse for Chu Yun, anything was fine, as long as it wasn't because of Pei Shaojin that she didn't hear him speak, he could accept it.

Chu Yun pursed her lips and nodded in agreement, which was considered tacit consent.

Han Cheng'an felt a little relieved.

“A month ago, I was injured in the Hengbai Mountains, and it was Chu Yun who saved me,” Pei Shaojin suddenly interjected, answering Han Chengan’s question on Chu Yun’s behalf.

Chu Yun then realized that Han Cheng'an was asking how she and Pei Shaojin knew each other. "Yes, I met him in the Hengbai Mountains."

Upon hearing this, Han Cheng'an's expression, which had just eased, darkened again.

"So it was because of you, Chu Yun, that you got injured and were punished by Teacher Wang," Han Cheng'an said with dissatisfaction.

“If you had just said a word to explain for her, Chu Yun wouldn’t have had to work so hard, insisting on being in the top five in the physical fitness competition. Do you know how much she has suffered this past month?”

"She wouldn't have gotten such a serious injury just because she won the match and offended that scoundrel Chu Feng."

Han Cheng'an was filled with resentment. He couldn't help but feel sorry for Chu Yun, who had spent the past month in the gym, running until she was exhausted on the track and getting injured again and again in the training room, all in an effort to increase her chances of winning.

Previously, Han Cheng'an thought that the incident at Hengbai Mountain was a mistake made by Chu Yun by accident, and no matter how much he felt sorry for her, he couldn't say anything.

But now Han Cheng'an has discovered that the culprit is actually Pei Shaojin. After Chu Yun saved him, he never showed up once, leaving Chu Yun to be punished.

Han Cheng'an felt indignant on Chu Yun's behalf and bombarded her with questions.

With each word he spoke, Pei Shaojin's expression grew increasingly grim.

In the end, both of them looked unwell, and the atmosphere between them was tense, as if they could start fighting at any moment.

Rather than being angry with Han Cheng'an, Pei Shaojin was more afraid that Chu Yun would blame him just like Han Cheng'an, so he withdrew his gaze from Han Cheng'an and turned to look at Chu Yun.

"It was my fault. The Zerg made some unusual moves, and I had to leave. Because of me, you suffered. I'm sorry."

Pei Shaojin looked apologetic and spoke sincerely, with sufficient and reasonable reasons, enough to persuade Chu Yun.

Moreover, Pei Shaojin is very likely the person who saved her in the past.

The slight resentment in Chu Yun's heart gradually dissipated.

"I don't blame you. The Zerg matter is more important," Chu Yun said softly.

Pei Shaojin's tense nerves finally relaxed.

"Are you in the military?" Chu Yun asked urgently.

Pei Shaojin didn't think much of it and replied, "Yes, I'm training in the army and I'm not usually at school."

He took the opportunity to explain himself.

"Yunyun, he's so irresponsible, he dragged you down with him, and you've forgiven him so easily?" Han Cheng'an asked incredulously.

Pei Shaojin's decision not to argue with Han Cheng'an but instead to explain to Chu Yun already displeased Han Cheng'an.

Han Cheng'an felt even more wronged that Chu Yun forgave Pei Shaojin so easily.

Chu Yun looked at Han Cheng'an, feeling grateful for his protection but also somewhat helpless.

“Cheng’an, Pei Shaojin also said that he had to leave because of something that happened to the Zerg. He didn’t do it on purpose.”

"Besides, even without him, I would still do my best to prepare for the competition, and Chu Feng would still do whatever it takes to win the competition."

"My injury is not Pei Shaojin's fault at all."
