Feng Ke put the Skynet launcher on the bed, feeling shy and annoyed. The passionate embrace of the male and female protagonists just now had made her feel the same way, and the wide arms of the male protagonist gave her the illusion that it was Lin Yun who was hugging her tightly. An unprecedented emotion crept into her heart.

 “Ke’er, are you there?” A middle-aged woman’s voice was heard from outside the door.

 Feng Ke scrambled out of her daze. She was just like a young girl whose secret had been exposed, and her face rapidly blushed like a ripe apple.

 “Ke’er, I’m coming in.” That voice was heard again.

 “Don’t, Aunt. Don’t come in. Just tell me what’s the matter.” Feng Ke calmed herself down and said loudly, “If I have to agree to that matter, don’t even think about it!”

 “You’re still so willful at this age. What’s wrong with Long Yun? He’s about to become a Planet Master Refiner at a young age. How many people are vying to marry him? You’re the only one who doesn’t know what’s good for you.” The middle-aged woman’s voice was heard again, seemingly complaining and persuading her.

 Feng Ke furrowed her brows and shouted angrily, “Marry him, then! I don’t want to. Even if I can’t go out or surf Skynet for the rest of my life, I won’t marry him.”

 “I want to get married to him, but can he marry me? You’re making jokes about your aunt at this age. I’ll tell you a piece of good news. Don’t get excited. Long Yun has just passed the Skynet 8-Star Assessment and gained an hour of real perspective time. He’s going to split that hour in half and treat you to a 30-minute movie.”

 The middle-aged woman suddenly sighed and murmured, “The real perspective time means fully experiencing the battle of an expert. Many people will never get the chance to do that in their lifetime. Long Yun is so young, yet he has actually got an hour of it. What’s more praiseworthy is that he’s actually wasting that hour on something as silly as watching a movie with you.”

 If it was before today, Feng Ke might have been touched. However, she had just watched hours of real perspective movies in a luxurious movie box. A real perspective wasn’t such a big deal to Feng Ke anymore. In comparison, 30 minutes of Long Yun’s time seemed so insignificant.

 Therefore, she said without caring about anything, “I’m not interested. He can go with whomever he wants to go with, but I’m not going anyway.”

 “Didn’t you say when you were a kid that you would marry whichever man would treat you to a real perspective movie? Don’t be ridiculous, Xiao Ke. Quickly come out.” The voice was laced with laughter as if she expected that Feng Ke would be unable to resist the temptation.

 “I’m not going! Stop bothering me!” Feng Ke was infuriated by her aunt’s bantering tone, and she shouted, “Mother is gone and father doesn’t love me. My aunt doesn’t love me, either. I hate all of you!”

 She burrowed under the blanket and covered her head, no longer paying attention to the knocking at the door. In her heart, she was still secretly thinking, “Lin Yun invited me to watch the real perspective movie. I won’t marry him in the future, right? Oh no, why am I letting my imagination run wild?”

 At this time, Lin Yun was immersed in his thoughts about Feng Ke. As he recalled her two little canine teeth when she smiled, he felt a tinge of sweetness grow in him. He couldn’t help but giggle every time he recalled the time when Feng Ke had wrung his thigh.

 “Piak!”

 Someone slapped Lin Yun’s shoulder and a cheerful voice was heard. “Little Brother Lin, why are you smiling so lewdly when you see Big Brother? You’re almost drooling!”

 Lin Yun quickly came back to his senses, only to see Li Tian appear in front of him wearing that green-patterned sweatshirt again. Behind Li Tian was a smiling Song Junming, as well as Dongfang Ruoxue, who looked hesitant.

 “Since you’re not feeling well, you don’t have to greet me.” Li Tian sat on the bedside and placed the fruits in his hand there, from which he took out an apple and nibbled on it. “Today, we’re here by chance and came to the hospital to visit you. Don’t get too excited. By the way, your attendant nurse is really good-looking.”

 Lin Yun chuckled and looked at the three people in front of him as a warm current surged through his heart. Although he had conflicts with all three of them before, the life-and-death battle in the Blue Sea Forest had allowed their camaraderie to warm up rapidly.

 Song Junming was also full of smiles as he said to Lin Yun, “Lin Yun, where is your little girlfriend? I haven’t seen her at school lately. I thought she would be here taking care of you.”

 Little girlfriend? Although Feng Ke wasn’t his girlfriend yet, a tinge of sweetness spread in Lin Yun’s heart when he heard Song Junming’s teasing words.

 At this time, Dongfang Ruoxue also came up with a complicated expression. It seemed as if she was hiding something. She stared blankly at Lin Yun for a moment and asked softly, “Are you okay?”

 Lin Yun was at a loss, but still responded, “I’m fine.”

 Dongfang Ruoxue pursed her lips and gently spat out a few words. “Take care of your body and rest at night. I have something on. I’m leaving first.”

 As soon as she said that, she left the hospital ward.

 Li Tian turned his head and looked surprised. “What’s wrong with her? She said that she came to see you, but she left after saying a few words.”

 Song Junming smiled slightly. “I guess she’s too prideful.”

 The two of them stayed for a while and then left. Shortly after, Lin Tianhao walked in with a happy countenance.

 “Son, while you were in the hospital, Dongfang Sheng came to see me,” Lin Tianhao sat at Lin Yun’s bedside and spoke.

 Lin Yun was clear. At that time, Dongfang Sheng had said that he would visit him to thank him some other time. Although Dongfang Sheng saved him, Lin Yun’s relationship with him hadn’t gotten better.

 Lin Tianhao looked at Lin Yun lovingly and slowly said, “Dongfang Sheng came to me to express his gratitude for you saving his daughter. In addition, he vaguely expressed something. If you are willing, it’s not impossible between you and Dongfang Ruoxue.”

 After he said that, Lin Tianhao’s eyes stared at Lin Yun.

 Lin Yun’s heart trembled. Feng Ke’s lovely smiling face quickly surfaced in his mind, and he said firmly, “Tell him that I’m not willing! I won’t marry Dongfang Ruoxue now or in the future!”

 “You won’t consider it? After all, Dongfang Ruoxue is the top choice when it comes to looks, talent, or family.” Lin Tianhao looked at Lin Yun with a smile and teasing face.

 “I don’t need to think about it. I won’t marry her!” Without hesitation, Lin Yun quickly revealed his inner thoughts.

 Lin Tianhao suddenly laughed upon listening to that. “You’re worthy of being my son! Even if Dongfang Sheng kneels and begs us, we can’t agree with him, let alone him just expressing it vaguely!”

 He slowly stood up, and his face suddenly became serious. “Son, you must remember: You can lose your life, but you can’t lose your honor and dignity. If they can reject you the first time, they can also reject you the second time. Your love is not given by the charity of others, but by your own pursuit to obtain it!”

 Lin Yun looked at his father’s resolute expression and slowly nodded.

 Lin Tianhao’s face relaxed a little before he said again, “Dongfang Sheng is not a bad person, but he’s just hesitant and too petty. His daughter is too pampered to become a great person. I hope you will consider the long-term. Clearwater City is too small. Your stage should be in that endless universe.”

 Lin Tianhao slowly raised his head and looked into the azure sky. His sight seemed to travel through the endless atmosphere to some mysterious galaxy.

 Upon feeling his father’s eager hopes for him, Lin Yun felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders. While looking at the wrinkles on his father’s forehead and the white hair at his temples, he silently said in his heart, “I won’t let you down, Father.”
