Otherworldly Companions: Every Handsome Man is Extraordinary

"Where are you being transferred to? Is it far from Hollandpur?" Jiang Yu asked. Because her attention was diverted, she stopped trying to pull her hand back and didn't notice that the other person was rubbing and kneading her fingers.

"I've been transferred to a border legion at the border of the Empire and the Forest Empire as commander. After all, I've been in the inner territory for quite a while, and I won't be able to be transferred back to the inner territory until next year, when I'll be closer to my territory."

"If we take a carriage, how many days will it take to get from home to your border regiment?" Jiang Yu asked curiously.

“It would take three days if we kept going non-stop, but the griffin needs to rest. Riding a griffin should be faster. Xiaoyu, do you want to come see me? The road is too dangerous. I'll come back as soon as I have time to visit my family, don't worry.”

Lin Yi smiled slightly, sat up from the bed, and pulled Jiang Yu into his arms before she could react.

Unlike Fan Qingyin's gentle restraint, Lin Yi's embrace was always very forceful, as if he wanted to etch Jiang Yu into his body. His body temperature was also very high, making Jiang Yu feel as if she was about to burn up with him.

"Xiaoyu, think of me more often when I'm not home, okay? I'll write to you often, and you have to remember to write back. I'm not forcing you to like me quickly, but I hope you can see me and keep me in your heart. I believe that one day you will like me. Okay?"

Looking into Lin Yisheng's eyes, which were filled with emotion, Jiang Yu couldn't bring herself to refuse. She could only reply dryly, "Okay, I agree."

"There is another request that I know I am not entitled to make, but I cannot control my emotions and desires. I am being too selfish, but I hope you can grant my request."

"Xiaoyu, could you please not participate in next year's partner selection event? Wait for me, okay? Give me some more time, and don't go looking for someone else, alright?"

Lin Yi held Jiang Yu as if she were a long-awaited treasure. He could feel her slightly rapid breathing, the gentle rise and fall of her body, and the warmth of her body. He could smell her sweet fragrance, which made him wish that time could stop right there.

He buried his face deep in Jiang Yu's hair, not letting her see the expression that was so different from his tender and humble tone. He lowered his eyelids, hiding the dark light in his eyes.

Yes, everything he did was for this promise; he had to eliminate the threat at its root.

This request was not difficult for Jiang Yu, and it even coincided with her own thoughts.

She had originally decided to avoid the annual partner selection event and postpone it as much as possible.

She was already overwhelmed by Fan Qingyin and Lin Yi alone. Given her current condition, it was simply not suitable for her to find several more husbands to torment each other, lest she waste the time of other excellent men. Therefore, her answer to this question was very firm, a firmness that surprised and delighted Lin Yi.

She stayed with Lin Yi for a while longer, until Lin Yi drank the medicinal porridge and fell asleep, before she turned around and went to Fan Qingyin's room.

Instead of hunching over the table to handle matters as she had expected, Fan Qingyin sat on a rocking chair on the terrace, basking in the sun. If it weren't for the slow rocking of the chair, she would have looked like a still oil painting, making one reluctant to disturb her.

Hearing the voice, Fan Qingyin turned around and saw it was her. Her expression instantly changed from icy cold to gentle and tender, as if spring had returned to the earth in an instant after a thousand miles of ice had been frozen.
