Chapter 119 Revealing one’s feelings
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, its cool silver light casting a light like a veil over the earth. The stars, like sparkling gems inlaid in the dark blue sky, sparkle and shine.
Xu Hanyi tiptoed to Lin Chuan's room. Her movements were extremely careful, as if she was afraid of disturbing the quiet night.
She slowly approached the bed, her eyes fixed on Lin Chuan's sleeping face. Xu Hanyi stared at him intently, her eyes filled with tenderness and longing, as if time had stopped at this moment. In her world, the only thing left was this face that moved her heart.
"Rustling."
A subtle sound emanated from the room, remarkably clear in the stillness of the night. Then, Xu Hanyi appeared beside Lin Chuan. Her movements were gentle and careful, as if she was afraid to wake the sleeping Lin Chuan.
Xu Hanyi gently lifted the corner of the quilt, and the soft quilt made a slight friction sound. She slowly lay down in the warm bed, feeling Lin Chuan's warmth, and an inexplicable sense of peace and satisfaction surged in her heart.
"Sister, stop making trouble."
Lin Chuan was murmuring in his sleep. He vaguely thought that Jiang Wanying had come, and subconsciously pulled Xu Hanyi into his arms, hugging her tightly with his arms.
"You and Ying'er often sleep together?"
A cold voice suddenly came into Lin Chuan's ears, like a cold winter wind, instantly pulling Lin Chuan out of the chaotic dream.
"Teacher...master?"
Lin Chuan looked at Xu Hanyi in his arms, his eyes widened instantly, his eyes full of shock and panic.
"answer me."
Xu Hanyi's voice was as cold as ice, and her eyes were filled with chill as she stared straight at Lin Chuan. Her body stiffened slightly, and being held so tightly in Lin Chuan's arms, she felt a mixture of emotions. She was angry that Lin Chuan had mistaken her for someone else, but she was also eager to know what was going on between him and Jiang Wanying.
"Yeah. Senior Sister often comes to help me at night..."
Lin Chuan answered truthfully, avoiding Xu Hanyi's cold and questioning gaze.
"Help you? Help you with what?" Xu Hanyi was about to ask clearly, but seemed to remember something and quickly shut up.
"Ying'er should be here to help Lin Chuan cure his hidden illness." Xu Hanyi was slightly stunned, the coldness in his eyes faded a little, and his expression became a little complicated.
"Master, why are you here?"
Lin Chuan looked at the snow-white skin of Xu Hanyi in his arms, his face flushed and his heartbeat quickened. Panicked, he secretly retreated, trying to distance himself from his master.
Xu Hanyi noticed Lin Chuan's retreat, and a sense of loss and shame washed over her. Her expression, which had softened slightly due to the misunderstanding, grew even colder. She bit her lip, a subtle hint of sadness flickering in her eyes. She wondered if this guy really disliked her. Suddenly, she felt a surge of frustration, but couldn't bring herself to react, so she suppressed her emotions.
"I'm here to help you, too."
Xu Hanyi's voice was slightly stubborn. She looked up at Lin Chuan, her eyes showing a mixture of shame and determination.
Lin Chuan: “????”
"What can you help me with?"
He blurted out subconsciously, completely unable to guess why his master came to his bed in the middle of the night and said he wanted to help him.
"Whatever Ying'er helps you with, I will help you with."
Xu Hanyi's tone was undeniable, and her eyes were fixed on Lin Chuan, her cheeks unconsciously flushing slightly. Although she tried to appear calm, she was actually very flustered.
"I am Chuan'er's master. It is natural for a master to help his apprentice!"
Xu Hanyi raised her chin slightly, her eyes showing determination, and her words were resounding. She tried to use this rhetoric to find a suitable reason for her current actions.
Xu Hanyi's blunt words startled Lin Chuan. He felt as if his brain had been violently impacted, his CPU practically smoking. "Master said he wanted to help me with that? What a joke!"
Lin Chuan was filled with confusion and shock, but he hadn't forgotten the painful beating he'd received the previous night. He couldn't help but shudder at the thought. Although he wasn't sure what was going on, he quickly and silently turned his back, thinking about putting some distance between him and Xu Hanyi to avoid causing any more trouble.
"Ying'er can help you, why can't I?" Xu Hanyi's voice trembled slightly, with a hint of grievance and unwillingness, and his eyes were faintly red.
"Who am I to make you dislike me? I'm already in your arms, but you're still indifferent and don't even want to look at me anymore!"
The more she spoke, the more excited she became. The bitter feeling in her heart surged like a tide. Her love, unrequited, now turned into resentment and sadness towards Lin Chuan. She felt that she had let go of all her reserve and taken the initiative to this extent, but Lin Chuan still looked uninterested in her, which really made her heartbroken.
"Master, do you know that what Senior Sister helped me with is..."
Seeing something was amiss, Lin Chuan was about to turn around, eager to tell Xu Hanyi she might have misunderstood something, when he suddenly felt a soft touch against his lips. The sudden touch made his eyes widen instantly, his mind froze once again, his heart began to beat uncontrollably, and he froze in place.
After a while, the two separated.
"Chuan'er, my Chuan'er..."
Xu Hanyi's voice became cold and tinged with madness, her eyes flashing with a fiery and frantic light. She hugged Lin Chuan tightly, her nails almost digging into his flesh, and kept muttering.
"Master..."
Lin Chuan stared blankly at Xu Hanyi, who was so close to him, his eyes filled with shock and helplessness. His body felt frozen, completely unable to move. He could only let Xu Hanyi hold him tightly, feeling the intense and crazy emotions rushing towards him. He opened his mouth, but it felt like his throat was choking, and he couldn't utter a single complete word.
When Xu Hanyi heard Lin Chuan calling him, the crazy light in his eyes gradually faded away, replaced by endless guilt and panic.
"Chuan'er, I'm sorry..."
Xu Hanyi's voice trembled slightly. She slowly loosened her arms around Lin Chuan and stepped back a little, not daring to look directly into Lin Chuan's eyes full of astonishment.
"Master... likes me?"
Lin Chuan asked Xu Hanyi tentatively. In this situation, even a dullard could sense something was wrong.
"Uh-huh!"
Xu Hanyi blushed and nodded vigorously. Her usual aloof demeanor was now completely gone. She stared intently at Lin Chuan, her eyes filled with undisguised love, as if she wanted to convey all her affection to him through this gaze, completely disregarding the relationship between master and disciple.
"..."
Lin Chuan really didn't know what to do. Did he really have to eat with his master and apprentice? He felt that the Blue Star concepts he had been exposed to since childhood were facing a huge challenge.
