I raised stunning young ladies, but they all wanted to possess me.

There was another moment of silence.

Gu Yan did not give a direct response.

He simply turned his head and looked at the boundless sea of ​​starlight flowers in the distance.

Silver-blue phosphorescence flowed in the twilight, like a silent galaxy.

Lin Jinyu stood still, looking at the boy's profile.

For some reason, a dull sadness welled up deep inside me.

"Xiao Yan, do you really not have even the slightest bit of romantic love for me?"

She continued speaking, her voice even softer than before, with a tremor she herself didn't even notice.

When people are at their most foolish, they want to know everything and keep asking until the answer hurts them before they stop.

Gu Yan did not answer.

His silence was the answer in itself.

You mean you felt absolutely nothing?

fake.

If sexual desire counts as love.

That's definitely fake.

Lin Jinyu is so beautiful, with such a great figure, and she's clinging to him without reservation.

He's a normal man; his body reacts, he feels impulses, and he experiences moments when hormones surge.

But what else is there?

He couldn't believe the reason he had fallen for Lin Jinyu.

This isn't just directed at her, but applies to all female protagonists in female-oriented online novels.

They are too dazzling, and too dangerous.

Getting too close will shorten your life; falling in love will lead you into an abyss.

He knew his response was cruel.

What should he do?

Would you lie and say you like it?

He can't.

In the few seconds that Gu Yan remained silent, Lin Jinyu suddenly stepped forward and hugged him tightly.

Very hard.

Very hard.

Her arms were wrapped tightly around his waist, her whole body pressed against him, her soft and amazing curves pressing against him without any gap.

She buried her face in the crook of his neck, her warm breath spraying onto his collarbone, tinged with a slight tremor.

She didn't say a word.

I just hugged him, very tightly.

Gu Yan felt like she was being squeezed so tightly that she could hardly breathe.

What's even more distressing is that the familiar stinging pain deep in my eye sockets has started to spread again.

The Eyes of Emotion are passively reading her mind.

In that castle of the soul, the golden flames have almost died out, leaving only vast expanses of blue, and sorrow surges in wave after wave like a tide.

"Sister Jinyu..."

He called out softly.

Lin Jinyu raised her head.

Her eyes were red, but she didn't cry.

Gu Yan didn't notice.

Perhaps because of the Eyes of Emotion, the violence and obsession in those golden eyes, which were suppressed to the extreme, only flashed for a few seconds.

It was as if some enormous force had forcibly pushed it back down.

And then, all that's left is that heartbreaking, simple sadness.

She didn't say anything, and buried her face back in his neck.

She greedily inhaled the fresh and pleasant scent emanating from Gu Yan.

Although I am very sad, very, very sad.

But at least for this moment, Xiao Yan is in his arms, isn't she?

As long as he's always by my side, that's enough.

……

Gu Yan felt the persistent stinging in her eyes and realized something.

Lin Jinyu's mental ruins may not be as stable as he had previously thought.

Even though she seems to have recovered, even though she can control her emotions in front of others...

But those deep-seated obsessions and dependencies have never truly disappeared.

I feel like swearing.

But this was exactly what he expected.

It's a miracle I didn't lose control on the spot after saying those things.

Looks like I need to eat that superpower fruit as soon as possible.

He observed for a few days and found that apart from the possibility of hallucinations mentioned by Chen Sinian, there were no major problems.

He occasionally experiences half-second hallucinations, but with his mental strength, he can easily withstand them.

This ability is mostly related to mental state.

You need to at least have some ability to protect yourself.

If there's another chance to run away, you should at least have the ability to seize that opportunity.

Let's wait until this stroll through the flower field is over.

……

Gu Yan let Lin Jinyu hold her quietly.

They didn't speak, nor did they struggle.

A very long time passed, so long that Anthony's legs went numb from squatting behind the flower bushes, before Lin Jinyu slowly let go.

Her emotions seemed to have calmed down; the redness in her eyes had mostly faded, and a faint smile had even appeared on her face.

Although the smile looked somewhat forced.

"Let's go, Xiao Yan."

Her voice was soft, "Whether you like me or not, as long as you're always by my side, that's enough."

She took his hand.

"Let's continue our walk."

Gu Yan was about to nod.

Suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply.

At the edge of the distant sea of ​​flowers, under the old locust tree, a white-haired figure with a straight back flashed by.

He will never admit his mistake.

It's Elder Zhou from the Executive Yuan!

What I just saw might not have been a hallucination!

Gu Yan's heart suddenly raced.

The empire sent a senior member directly?

It seems there's still a chance for me to escape to South Africa!

It seems I need to find a way to keep my distance from Lin Jinyu for the time being.

"Xiao Yan?"

Lin Jinyu noticed his unusual behavior. "Why aren't you saying anything?"

Gu Yan withdrew her gaze, suppressed her wildly beating heart, and said softly, "Okay."

……

Sir Anthony was standing three meters away, quietly moving backward.

He was drenched in cold sweat, his back was soaked, and all he wanted now was a cigarette to calm his nerves.

It seems like he's not involved anymore?

Can he leave now?

This Eastern hellscape was simply too much for this old man to endure!

"Mr. Anthony."

Lin Jinyu's voice was like ice water poured down on me.

Anthony froze, turned around, and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace: "Miss Lin?"

"What...what can I do for you?"

Let's go together.

"If you see a beautiful view, just take a picture of it for us."

"I want to take lots and lots of beautiful photos with Xiaoyan."

Lin Jinyu responded.

Anthony: "..."

He forced a smile: "Okay, okay, it's my pleasure."

Sin ah.

What a terrible tragedy!

But then Anthony thought that if these photos were taken, his status in the photography world could rise even higher.

After all, this intimate photo of Vulcan and the Imperial Wall is unique in the world.

That's the only way I can comfort myself.

……

Lin Jinyu held Gu Yan's hand as they walked along the path in the center of the Starry Flower Sea.

As dusk deepened, the last vestiges of orange-red on the horizon were slowly sinking below the horizon.

The silvery-blue starflower swayed gently in the evening breeze, and the fluorescent light on the edges of the petals gradually lit up, forming a flowing river of light.

The blossoms brushed against the hem of their clothes, carrying a cool and slightly sweet fragrance.

The girl's long golden hair was blown by the wind, and a few strands playfully wrapped around the boy's slender arm.

Gu Yan walked slowly, her expression calm.

Lin Jinyu walked beside him, glancing at him every now and then with a satisfied smile on her lips.

Anthony followed behind, holding up his camera and snapping away non-stop.

Although my legs are sore, my heart is tired, and my face aches, I have to admit it.

These two look really good together.

"Xiao Yan."

Lin Jinyu suddenly spoke.

"Um?"

"The second most romantic thing in the world," she said gently, gazing at the endless sea of ​​flowers before her, "is taking a walk."

"very nice."
