Rebirth in Another World: The Ultimate Legend

As the night wore on, Xiao Jinzhi tiptoed to Lin Yu's room. Through a small window, she saw that Lin Yu was fast asleep. She pushed the door open easily with a creak. "Hmm? Lin Yu didn't lock the door?" She looked around, then quietly entered Lin Yu's room. After slowly closing the door, she approached Lin Yu's bedside and silently studied his sharply defined features.

The gentle moonlight, as soft as water, like a light veil, filtered through the antique window and gently fell upon Lin Yu's sharply defined face. This bright moonlight seemed to possess a magical power, tenderly outlining his resolute yet aloof facial features.

Xiao Jinzhi sat quietly by the bed, her gaze as calm as water as she looked at the peaceful sleeping face of the man before her. Lin Yu's thick, ink-black eyebrows were slightly raised, like two sharp swords lying across his forehead; his high, straight nose stood out like a mountain, giving a strong three-dimensional visual impact; and his tightly closed lips were pressed into a straight line, revealing a hint of stubbornness and tenacity.

Just then, Lin Yu, who had been fast asleep, suddenly turned over and faced Xiao Jinzhi. The unexpected turn of events startled Xiao Jinzhi, and she nearly screamed. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, covering her mouth with her hand and managing to swallow the utterance that was about to escape her lips. However, despite this, her heart, pounding with tension, remained unsettled for a long time.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her heart, which was pounding wildly with nervousness. Once she was a little more composed, she slowly lifted her feet, preparing to leave the room. However, just as she turned around, her peripheral vision caught sight of Lin Yu, who was turning over in bed.

Lin Yu's exposed upper body, while lacking exaggeratedly large muscles, possessed perfectly proportioned lines that seemed to contain boundless power. His slightly protruding pectoral muscles were firm and strong; following the smooth lines downwards, his flat and taut abdomen exuded an indescribable charm.

Xiao Jinzhi's gaze was drawn in as if by a magnet, irresistibly tracing its path down his chest to his alluring abdomen. Suddenly, she felt her heart skip a beat, as if a playful rabbit were frolicking inside her. At the same time, a strange sensation surged through her like a tide, instantly flushing her cheeks. This unfamiliar and wondrous feeling left Xiao Jinzhi somewhat bewildered; she stood there, stunned, momentarily forgetting what she had originally intended to do.

As if drawn by an invisible force, her feet moved slowly and involuntarily toward Lin Yu. Her light steps felt as if she were stepping on solid ground, soft yet carrying a firm resolve. When she finally reached Lin Yu, she raised her hand, extending a slender, long index finger, and gently glided it across Lin Yu's firm chest like a breeze caressing the surface of a lake.

"Such a strong feeling..." Xiao Jinzhi thought to herself. The touch was like touching an indestructible mountain, giving her an unshakable sense of security. As her fingertips made intimate contact with the skin of his chest, she could clearly feel Lin Yu's heart beating strongly. The rhythm was like a stirring symphony, passing through her fingertips and into her heart.

At some point, Xiao Jinzhi noticed her heartbeat quickening uncontrollably, racing like a wild horse. Each heartbeat was accompanied by a surge of blood, causing a faint blush to gradually rise to her cheeks. At the same time, her breathing became increasingly rapid, as if the air had suddenly become thin, requiring her to gasp for air to maintain the oxygen supply her body needed.

This unprecedented and wondrous feeling left Xiao Jinzhi somewhat bewildered. It was both frighteningly unfamiliar and endlessly alluring, like a mysterious vortex that drew her in deeply, making it difficult for her to extricate herself. She didn't know how to cope with this sudden emotional shock and could only stand there blankly, letting the turmoil in her heart surge and subside.

Just then, Lin Yu suddenly uttered a mumble in his sleep. Xiao Jinzhi was so startled that she quickly withdrew her hand, her heart leaping into her throat. She stared nervously at Lin Yu, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he showed no signs of waking up.

However, Xiao Jinzhi's face was now flushed red, and she knew she couldn't stay any longer. She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then quietly left Lin Yu's room.

Back in her room, Xiao Jinzhi lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. The scene in Lin Yu's room kept replaying in her mind. That powerful chest, Lin Yu's peaceful sleeping face, haunted her like a curse.

In the end, Xiao Jinzhi couldn't suppress her impulse and got up again to go to Lin Yu's room. But as soon as she opened the door, she saw Lin Yu sitting on the bed, looking at her expressionlessly.

"Lin Yu, you're awake?" Xiao Jinzhi asked in surprise.

"Miss Jinzhi, why did you come here instead of resting in your room?" Lin Yu's voice was calm and indifferent.

Xiao Jinzhi gently bit her luscious lips, her originally fair face now flushed with a faint blush due to the surging emotions within her. She took a deep breath, as if to inhale all her courage into her chest and abdomen, and then slowly raised her head, her captivating bright eyes gazing at Lin Yu before her.

Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she mustered up her courage and said, "Lin Yu... ever since I was kidnapped and imprisoned by that vicious Black Wolf Gang, you appeared before me like a hero descending from the sky and successfully rescued me from danger. From that moment on, your image has been deeply imprinted in the depths of my heart."

At this point, Xiao Jinzhi paused slightly, seemingly calming her somewhat excited emotions. Then, she continued softly, expressing the growing feelings in her heart: "Your courage and fearlessness, your unwavering stance in the face of powerful enemies; and your sense of responsibility, always putting the protection of others first. These excellent qualities have captivated me, and every time I recall that scene, my heart beats faster involuntarily."

At this moment, Xiao Jinzhi gripped the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, revealing her inner tension and unease. But she still looked at Lin Yu firmly and continued, "I know this feeling may have come too suddenly, and may surprise you or even leave you at a loss. But I really can no longer hide my true feelings, so I decided to tell you everything today."

Lin Yu was slightly taken aback, his gaze slowly falling on Xiao Jinzhi. He saw that Xiao Jinzhi's bright, star-like eyes were staring at him without blinking, and the sincerity and expectation in them seemed to penetrate one's soul, making Lin Yu's heart tremble involuntarily.

For a moment, Lin Yu felt as if something was blocking his throat; he wanted to say something but found that the words wouldn't come out. He just stared blankly at Xiao Jinzhi, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
