Before Gu Fenglin could even process what was happening, Chu Yun slowly closed her eyes in front of him and fell backward.

Gu Fenglin's heart trembled slightly, and he wrapped his long arm around Chu Yun, protecting her in his embrace.

When they got close, Gu Fenglin could even smell the faint fragrance emanating from Chu Yun.

Looking down, he saw the girl in his arms with her eyes tightly closed, her face contorted in pain, and faint blue veins bulging on her neck.

Her physical strength was exhausted, and she had reached her physical limit!

Gu Fenglin picked up Chu Yun and placed her on the sofa in the rest area.

The fruit tea was already brewed. He freed his hands to pour a cup of tea, let it cool slightly, and then brought it to Chu Yun's lips.

Chu Yun was unaware of what was happening and struggled to drink a cup of tea.

Gu Fenglin watched as the tea moistened her lips, slid down her jade-like neck, dampened her clothes, and clung to her smooth skin, outlining her barely visible contours...

Feeling like he was on fire, Gu Fenglin guiltily looked away.

The hand that had been holding Chu Yun's shoulder properly now felt a slight burning sensation, and she subconsciously let go.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yun lost her support and fell straight towards Gu Fenglin.

Before Gu Fenglin could react, Ren Chuyun collapsed onto him.

Chu Yun's head rested on Gu Fenglin's shoulder, and her entire weight shifted towards him, making her look like a baby koala clinging to him.

A soft, boneless hand landed on Gu Fenglin's lower abdomen, bringing an indescribable burning sensation.

Gu Fenglin's pupils contracted slightly, and his muscles stiffened involuntarily.

At that moment, the surrounding air seemed to freeze!

Gu Fenglin could clearly hear his own heartbeat, which was getting more and more violent, almost driving him to madness.

Chu Yun seemed unaware of the impact she had on Gu Fenglin, rubbing her head against him and exhaling hot breath onto his neck.

It was as if a switch in his body had been flipped, and an unprecedented heat flowed through Gu Fenglin's body, bringing waves of shivers.

That wasn't the worst part. The next moment, the wet sensation coming from the nape of his neck completely drove Gu Fenglin to lose his mind.

Chu Yun seemed to be dreaming of delicious food. She parted her red lips slightly, extended her soft tongue, and treated Gu Fenglin's neck as food, licking it wantonly.

A tingling sensation rushed in, and Gu Fenglin clenched his fist, his knuckles turning white from the effort.

A strange feeling overwhelmed Gu Fenglin, and he could no longer bear it. He pushed Chu Yun away and fled the forging room as if he were escaping.

His disordered footsteps revealed the turmoil in his heart.

No, it should be described as raging storms.

He was not an ignorant child; even though he had no experience, he knew what he needed to know.

Gu Fenglin never expected that he would have so little self-control in front of Chu Yun. Even though she hadn't done anything, he was almost driven crazy.

As he stepped out of the forging room, Gu Fenglin couldn't help but look back.

The first thing that caught my eye was Chu Yun's pale face. She was leaning against the sofa, breathing lightly, as if she were really asleep.

Because she was uncomfortable, Chu Yun frowned slightly, like a withered flower that had fallen from a branch, fragile and pitiful.

From this perspective, aside from being exceptionally beautiful, there's nothing particularly remarkable about her. So why would he...?

Gu Fenglin looked away and clenched his fists.

After pausing for a moment, he left without lingering any longer.

About an hour later, Gu Fenglin returned.

Chu Yun had just woken up and was still sleepy.

She squinted slightly, her slender fingers gently massaging her temples, and when she looked up, she met Gu Fenglin's deep gaze.

Gu Fenglin walked towards Chu Yun step by step against the light.

He had changed his clothes, taking off his white coat and replacing it with a black trench coat.

If he in white is like a gentle breeze, warm and comforting, then he in a black trench coat is like the night before dawn, possessing both the warmth of the rising sun and the allure of darkness.

His eyes, in particular, had become more profound and enigmatic than before, when they were clear and innocent.

"Senior Gu?" Chu Yun's head was buzzing, and Gu Fenglin seemed to appear in several overlapping images in her vision, making it difficult to see clearly.

Her bright eyes revealed an undisguised doubt. This Gu Fenglin felt unfamiliar to her, and Chu Yun even keenly sensed a hint of danger.

Gu Fenglin suppressed his outward aura, his eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly walked to Chu Yun's side, asking softly, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"

He regained his former gentleness.

When Chu Yun saw the concern and worry in his eyes, she realized she had really lost her mind, and her doubts slowly dissipated.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little dizzy," Chu Yun replied.

Gu Fenglin sat down, poured a cup of light fruit tea, and handed it to Chu Yun, saying, "Have some tea to help you recover your strength."

Chu Yun nodded and took the teacup.

Her movements were graceful and gentle, like a cat licking water, unhurried and unhurried, which was endearing.

"Why didn't you listen when I told you to stop?" Gu Fenglin held back until Chu Yun finished her tea before confronting her.

What's coming will come eventually. Chu Yun squeezed the teacup in her hand, her face pale.

Gu Fenglin remained silent, simply watching Chu Yun without pressuring her or backing down, insisting that Chu Yun give a clear explanation.

"I..." Chu Yun's hand unconsciously rubbed the side of the cup.

After pausing for a moment, he said, "My physical talent is not good, and I always fail at the last minute when forging magical artifacts. This was my best attempt so far, and I almost succeeded. I don't want to give up, so..."

"So you disregarded your own health and forcibly forged a magical artifact? Overdrawing your physical strength?" Gu Fenglin rebuked.

"What nonsense!"

"Didn't your teacher teach you to always act within your capabilities and prioritize safety?"

Chu Yun was frightened by him, and since she had really done something wrong, she didn't dare to argue at all.

Gu Fenglin didn't know what had possessed him; he couldn't suppress his anger at all. "I was there to watch you this time, so nothing serious happened. What about next time? Why don't you take care of your health?"

"Senior Gu, I'm sorry, I never dared to do this when I was forging magical artifacts by myself before."

"But, but with you here watching over me today, I'm not so scared anymore. I don't know what's wrong with me. I know I was wrong, please don't be angry with me," Chu Yun murmured.

Gu Fenglin was stunned, his expression froze, and he looked like a deflated balloon.

Chu Yun's words implied that she trusted him and felt at ease with him by her side, which gave her the courage to take the plunge!

"You mean, you trust me, you believe I will protect you and keep you from getting hurt? That's why..." Gu Fenglin pressed.

"I'm sorry, Senior Gu, I've caused you trouble. I didn't think things through and made you worry." Chu Yun apologized again. It was her fault; she had made Gu Fenglin take such a big risk for nothing.

She was filled with shame and guilt, her almond-shaped eyes welling up with tears, wetting her long, curled eyelashes, which trembled slightly as they clung together, making her look as pitiful as her owner.

Gu Fenglin was at a loss for words.

She actually trusted him so much...
