Chapter 75: I Am Already Yours
Under the faint blue light, the girl’s big, somewhat bewildered eyes blinked, her eyelashes fanning right into Shen Yu’s heart with every flutter.
“I don’t like ‘wild’.”
Chi Wan explained hurriedly, but then felt her words were too ambiguous and corrected herself immediately:
“What I mean is… I don’t like this.”
“Then what do you like?”
Shen Yu was puzzled.
He pulled back a bit to create some distance, carefully scrutinizing Chi Wan’s expression.
In the enclosed space, the young Sentinel, brimming with hormones, stood with his enticing upper body bare, pinning the petite Guide into a corner.
He was clearly the overbearing controller, yet he seemed more like he was humbly pleading.
What does she like?
Those words sounded as if he were asking: What position do you like?
Chi Wan couldn’t squeeze out a single word and could only lower her head, trying to escape from under his arm.
Shen Yu tilted his body, blocking her more tightly into the corner of the cabin.
“You’re leaving?”
His voice held a hint of grievance. “You’re not allowed to leave.”
In the next second, Chi Wan’s chin was pinched by his fingers. She was forced to look up and meet his somewhat heavy amber eyes.
At this moment, she realized deeply that this youth Commander, who had a friendly smile, was not friendly at all in private.
His actions were laced with a subtle overbearingness.
No wonder his Spirit Body was a White Tiger…
Shen Yu didn’t know what Chi Wan was thinking; he only saw the faint rejection in her eyes.
His greatest fear had happened after all, and he couldn’t help but feel a sense of loss in his heart.
She really was repelled by him because of what happened before.
“That time in Thorn City… was my fault. I loathed you at the time and intentionally wanted to toy with you.”
Shen Yu spoke with a solemn and serious expression:
“Later, during the operation, I was moved by your bravery. In all my years as a Commander, I have experienced countless battles, but that was the first time I saw a Guide heroically charge in to fight alongside me in such a dangerous situation.”
The version of her that day had been too dazzling.
So much so that he remembered it deeply to this day.
Everyone said Guides were weak and lacked combat capability, yet a rose growing among thorns could also use its prickles to carve out a path of blood for itself.
“Regardless of what happened in the past, it was my fault.”
As Shen Yu spoke, he lowered his head slightly, his gaze toward her incredibly sincere:
“Can we start over? I think I don’t know you well enough, and neither do you know me. That time you were in grave danger… you actually could have sent me a message. In the entire Alliance, Qi Ye isn’t the only one worth your trust.”
CLANG—
The cabin door was suddenly pushed open.
Entering along with the light was the cold, astringent aura of a snake.
Chi Wan turned her head. In the backlight, Qi Ye’s expression was shrouded in shadow, yet the sudden spread of low air pressure still made his displeasure palpable.
Those green snake-like pupils were deep, reflecting the white-haired Sentinel with his bare chest and the petite Guide trapped in the enclosed corner.
More than half of Chi Wan’s face was obscured by Shen Yu’s sturdy arm. Only those beautiful eyes looked toward him with a hint of panic.
The way she looked, it seemed as if she had been bullied.
Qi Ye’s gaze turned a few degrees colder. After he entered the cabin, the door was tightly shut, isolating them from outside view.
Simultaneously, a silver snake manifested, intending to aggressively shove the bare-chested Shen Yu aside with its power.
Shen Yu stepped back to avoid it.
Qi Ye swept his gaze over Chi Wan’s intact clothing and sat down by her side.
“I didn’t know Commander Shen liked to strip naked in broad daylight to harass an Alliance Guide.”
His voice carried a chill that seeped into one’s heart.
Shen Yu sat in the opposite seat, looking perfectly composed.
“Using reasonable means to win over an Alliance Guide does not count as harassment.”
“Can’t you see that she’s very afraid?”
Facing Qi Ye’s question, Shen Yu fell silent. He had been paying attention to Chi Wan’s state.
She was currently sitting beside Qi Ye, looking a bit dazed, like a kitten that had been suddenly sucked into a predicament.
Is she afraid of me?
A sour feeling suddenly welled up in his heart, and the light in his gaze dimmed slightly as he looked at her:
“Are you afraid?”
Chi Wan shook her head honestly.
She wasn’t afraid, but she did feel quite awkward.
Seeing that she wasn’t afraid of him, the tension in Shen Yu’s heart finally eased a bit.
Qi Ye lowered his eyes. “I suppose since Guide Chi Wan is an SSS-rank Guide who has participated in many battles, her courage is beyond that of ordinary people. That’s likely why she isn’t afraid of such offensive behavior. However, I still must give Commander Shen a warning.”
As he spoke, he lifted his eyelids slightly, his calm gaze piercing with a chill:
“Watch your words and actions.”
These words were heavily laced with an intent to declare ownership.
The blue light on the cabin’s star-screen lit up automatically, projecting the latest interstellar news from the Alliance.
The flickering blue light now seemed to carry a chill, making the air in the entire cabin cold and stifling, hard to breathe.
In the eerie silence, Chi Wan swallowed and looked at Shen Yu across from her.
She found that he wasn’t intimidated at all. In fact, there was a faint trace of a smile in his phoenix eyes.
The youth’s voice rang out clearly, carrying a deliberate provocation:
“I think Commander Qi might not understand. Guide Chi Wan should like it. After all… she has touched me here before.”
As he spoke, he pointed to the left side of his chest, then shifted his finger to the other side:
“And here.”
Chi Wan’s face turned red. She could clearly feel the cold, astringent snake aura beside her growing even more intense.
Shen Yu just smiled. “Oh, that’s right. It was twice.”
As if thinking that wasn’t enough, the youth stood up and leaned over in front of Chi Wan:
“Our Shen family rules are strict. Once a man of the Shen family has his body touched by a girl, he belongs to that person.”
As he spoke, he faced those icy green eyes that looked ready to kill and spoke in a softened voice:
“Guide Chi Wan… I am already yours.”
