Chapter 2737 Transmigrated to a Noble Academy as a Special Admission Student (21)

After an unknown amount of time, Jin Chen suddenly stopped.

Ling Yao was a beat slow to raise her eyes in a daze, looking at him with a hazy gaze, her pupils misty with tears, the corners of her eyes tinged with a captivating red, and her breathing erratic.

Their dependent yet somewhat pitiful appearance is enough to evoke pity in anyone's heart.

Jin Chen rubbed the back of his head. "Someone's here."

Ling Yao was stunned by the kiss and hadn't even realized what those words meant before Jin Chen tucked him into the thick blankets.

Fortunately, the hospital blankets were fluffy enough that Jin Chen hid him in his arms, and from the outside, no one could tell that there was someone hiding under the blankets.

Suddenly plunged into darkness, Ling Yao blinked, his cheek pressed against Jin Chen's warm abdominal muscles, his soft cheek being gently caressed by calloused fingers, his mind still a little dazed.

He didn't quite understand why Jin Chen wanted to hide him.

But the thought only flashed through my mind.

Ling Yao was enveloped by Jin Chen's familiar aura, which was much stronger than usual, making him feel somewhat dizzy and disoriented.

Jin Chen touched his lower lip with her fingertip, and Ling Yao subconsciously opened his mouth, letting Jin Chen find the tongue piercing and gently fidget with it.

Ling Yao immediately relaxed, sucked on his mischievous fingers, and vaguely listened to the conversation coming from outside the blanket.

Jin Chen leaned against the headboard, looking calm and composed, even a little impatient at being disturbed.

"General Lin, why am I, the one who saved people, being interrogated time and time again?"

His voice reached Ling Yao's ears through the blanket; it was muffled, and the coldness in his tone was obvious.

Lin Baiyu's voice rang out, sounding both helpless and inquisitive, "I'm very puzzled, Jin Chen."

"You rejected the military's early recruitment opportunity, so why did you also reject Bai Yu's invitation? He is a strong representative of the Lin family, and the conditions he offers are no worse than those offered by the military. The resources and platform he can provide will far exceed your expectations."

Jin Chen's gaze fell on a slight curve in the blanket. He moved his fingertips slightly, feeling a damp softness, but his tone grew colder and more distant.

"I'm just an ordinary student who wants to live a few years of peace and quiet and doesn't want to get involved in these disputes too early."

"General Lin, I am very grateful for your and the Lin family's appreciation. But right now, I think it is more important to find out who is behind this accident as soon as possible than to discuss my whereabouts."

Under the covers, Ling Yao swallowed his excessive saliva, then suddenly remembered something.

Lin Baiyu's partner was his personal knight during his time at the academy.

Now that Brother Lin is so actively recruiting Jin Chen, besides appreciating his talent, he probably also has some intention of matchmaking, wanting to arrange for his younger brother to have an equally strong and reliable "one of his own".

This thought caused Ling Yao's possessiveness to surge.

Ling Yao carefully held Jin Chen's fingers, a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice, and gently nibbled at his fingertips. The bite was light, more like a playful tantrum, trying to draw his attention back and not give him any chance to think about agreeing to the Lin family's demands.

Jin Chen's eyes darkened, and a fleeting smile flashed across them.

"General Lin," he said, interrupting Lin Baiyu's persuasion.

"Fine." Lin Baiyu saw Jin Chen's determination, paused for a few seconds, and sighed, "There are some things that Bai Yu has to tell you himself."

"Don't worry, I will personally oversee the accident investigation to find the culprit as soon as possible and give you an explanation."

The footsteps faded into the distance, and the ward door was gently closed.

Jin Chen immediately reached out and pressed the control button on the bedside table, locking the door from the inside.

He then lifted a corner of the blanket, and the warm light shone on Ling Yao's face again.

Jin Chen's palm touched Ling Yao's slightly sweaty nape, his fingertips feeling the excessively high body temperature.

"He's gone," Jin Chen asked in a low voice, her tone slightly teasing. "Is it hot?"

Ling Yao took deep breaths of fresh air, his hair at the temples damp with sweat and clinging to his skin.

Upon first touching the slightly cool air, he sighed comfortably, but also noticed that the rich sandalwood fragrance that had been lingering around him and making him feel drowsy had faded considerably.

Ling Yao's throat suddenly felt extremely dry. He tilted his head back, and the corners of his eyes glistened with moisture under the light.

He almost meekly stretched out his arms and hugged Jin Chen's neck, burying his burning cheeks in the crook of her neck, breathing greedily, as if only in this way could he calm his racing heartbeat.

I was completely immersed in a warm and lazy atmosphere.

Jin Chen lazily hugged him, patting his back lightly with her hand, and suddenly asked in a low voice, her breath brushing against Ling Yao's sensitive earlobe, "Young Master, why don't you let me be your personal knight?"

Ling Yao was unusually obedient at this moment, raising her wet eyelashes to look into his smiling eyes.

"...Yes, I want to too."

He paused, then looked up at Jin Chen with a hint of cautious anticipation, "Will you say yes?"

Jin Chen chuckled softly, tightening her grip on his lower back slightly, as if playing with a warm, smooth, and delicate piece of jade warmed by her body heat.

"Ah..." he drawled, as if he were thinking seriously, but a mischievous glint flashed in his eyes, "Then we'll have to think about what kind of tempting reward our young master Ling can offer."

Ling Yao shook his head, he hadn't thought about this question and didn't know what to give.

Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, he nestled into Jin Chen's arms, took one of Jin Chen's hands, and guided it...

Then it stopped.

He tilted his head back, affectionately nuzzled Jin Chen's lips, his eyes glistening with tears, and whispered.

"I'll let you play... whatever you like, is that okay?"
