The Caged Canary! Gu Yue on the Brink of Losing Control

"I'm not afraid!"

Gu Yue lunged into Lin An's arms, her arms locking tightly around him.

Lin An felt his bones creaking under the pressure.

He tried to push her away, only to find that this seemingly slender girl possessed astonishing strength.

Gu Yue buried her face in the crook of his shoulder, her body trembling slightly with excitement.

So that was it.

So that was it!

Because the Dragon Queen was being monitored by those humans, he hadn't dared to approach her.

He wasn't being cold.

He was protecting her.

He hadn't ignored all those messages yesterday because he didn't want to reply; he simply couldn't.

Gu Yue's heart hammered against her ribs, a massive wave of happiness leaving her dizzy.

Lin An felt his bones reaching their limit; if she squeezed any harder, they would surely snap.

He reached out a trembling hand and rested it gently on top of Gu Yue's head, as if soothing a bristling beast.

"Calm down, calm down. Don't get so worked up."

He spoke with difficulty, "I really am not the person you think I am."

Gu Yue's body stiffened for a moment.

Then, she quieted down.

Not because she was convinced, but because—

Wife is petting my head.

An abnormal flush burned across her cheeks, her blood surging, and even her earlobes turned bright red.

How can this be? It should be this King petting him.

But... this time was special.

She let out a soft, whimpering sound, as if expressing dissatisfaction, yet she couldn't bear to let that hand leave.

"Alright, Gu Yue! Calm down, don't scare him."

Tang Wulin had been watching Lin An the entire time, keenly catching the flash of pain on his face.

Lin An's constitution was too weak.

Being held like that by Gu Yue had already drained the color from his face.

Tang Wulin grabbed Gu Yue's arm and pulled hard.

"Who asked for your interference?"

Gu Yue glared at him viciously.

But that glare also brought a measure of her reason back.

She let go.

Then she immediately turned her head, looking at Lin An with eager, longing eyes, the excitement and anticipation still lingering in her gaze.

"Wife, have you remembered me?"

Lin An did not answer.

He simply offered a smile.

A standard, polite, distant smile.

Then he stepped back, intending to close the door.

It would be better not to go out today.

Gu Yue was far from as weak as she appeared.

Being pressed so close to her made him feel very insecure.

However, there was no way Gu Yue would let him get away that easily.

She was quick with her eyes and feet, wedging one foot directly into the door gap and bracing it firmly.

The door wouldn't close.

Gu Yue looked at Lin An, a trace of disappointment flashing in her eyes.

It seemed the Dragon Queen still hadn't remembered her.

It didn't matter.

She told herself.

As long as she persisted with her pursuit, she would succeed one day.

Thinking of this, she reached out and grabbed Lin An's wrist.

A gentle, warm force of life poured into his meridians.

"I'm sorry, I was too abrupt. Are you hurt?"

Her expression carried sincere guilt.

But those eyes—

They were terrifyingly bright, so excited that her pupils were trembling slightly.

I touched my wife's hand.

So soft. So fragrant.

I want to lick him so badly.

"I'm fine. Could you please let go of me?"

Cold sweat broke out on Lin An's forehead.

His other hand had already reached behind his back, quietly pressing the emergency alarm button on his communicator.

At the same time.

In the office of the Dean of the Intermediate Division at East Sea Academy.

Long Hengxu had just brewed a cup of tea, and before the leaves had even unfurled, his communicator exploded.

He looked down at the screen.

[S-Class Alert: Level 1 Protected Personnel "Lin An" has triggered an emergency distress signal.]

The tea in Long Hengxu's mouth sprayed out instantly.

"Damn it! Which little brat is it!"

He grabbed his coat, his face so dark it could drip water, and he charged out the door like a cannonball fired from its chamber.

On the other side, in the teachers' office.

Wu Zhangkong glanced at the alert notification on his communicator and let out a cold snort.

He did not get up.

He flipped the communicator face down on the desk and continued to close his eyes to rest.

The school's reaction was far faster than Lin An had anticipated.

In less than two minutes, the entire dormitory building was surrounded, packed tight.

The Dean, various subject teachers, and security personnel stood in a dense crowd, the atmosphere as tense as if they were facing a terrorist attack.

Long Hengxu rushed to the scene and immediately spotted Lin An, who was being blocked at the doorway by Gu Yue.

Thank goodness. Thank goodness.

He let out a sigh of relief—at least the situation hadn't reached the point of no return.

But immediately after, when he saw Gu Yue's foot wedged in the door gap and her hand gripping Lin An's wrist, refusing to let go, he nearly ground his molars to dust.

Audacious!

Are students these days really this bold?

"This student!"

Long Hengxu suppressed his anger and stepped forward, his voice laced with warning, "Please calm down! Do not do something you will regret!"

Gu Yue turned a deaf ear.

She looked at the dense crowd that had swarmed around them in an instant, and intense hatred welled up in the depths of her eyes.

As expected.

The Dragon Queen is indeed being monitored by this group of humans.

Not a shred of freedom.

Not a shred of privacy.

Just like a canary kept in a cage.

She turned her head to look at Lin An, her voice suddenly becoming incomparably earnest and affectionate.

"An'an. Are you willing to return to the Star Dou Forest with me?"

"Leave this damned human world and never come back."

After speaking, her gaze shifted to Tang Wulin.

A trace of cold killing intent flashed within those vertical pupils.

Since the situation has changed, then the bet with Na'er is void.

Now—

Kill Tang Wulin directly and reclaim the Golden Dragon King bloodline completely.

This would also thoroughly sever the bloodline resonance between the Dragon Queen and Tang Wulin.

Even if Na'er were unwilling to merge with her afterward.

Even if it meant losing thirty percent of her power, it did not matter.

She only wanted to possess the Dragon Queen exclusively.

The Dragon Queen could only belong to her alone.

The bloodline within Tang Wulin's body gave a violent jolt, as if locked onto by some terrifying existence.

He instinctively took half a step back, his hair standing on end.

"I'm sorry. I am a human."

Lin An's voice rang out calmly.

"I am not the person you know. I have... my own family here."

He refused.

He refused without a moment's hesitation.

Gu Yue clenched her fists tightly.

Her heart felt as if it were being ruthlessly gripped, sour and astringent, the pain making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

Why.

Why couldn't people who truly loved each other be together?

"Alright. It's fine, teachers. Everyone, disperse."

Seeing that Gu Yue had finally calmed down a little, Lin An waved his hand.

"But—"

Long Hengxu's brows were tightly furrowed, his gaze fixed firmly on Gu Yue.

He truly could not rest easy with such a dangerous individual around.

The killing intent that had erupted from that girl just now was something he had felt even from over ten meters away.

And this was only the first day!

If someone dared to lay hands on this young master now, what would happen in the future?

It seemed that twenty-four-hour surveillance would have to be arranged.

"I said it's fine. It was all a misunderstanding."

Lin An's tone turned serious.

Then, he picked up his communicator and operated it silently for a few moments.

At the same time, the communicators of every teacher present rang in unison.

Long Hengxu's expression shifted visibly.

The other teachers looked at one another, and the previously tense expressions on their faces blossomed into amiable smiles.
