Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Couldn’t Wait to Kiss

Being so gently guided and completely embraced by Si Jin, the guilt and conflict in Yun Sheng’s heart dissipated significantly. The stifling weight on her chest finally lifted, leaving her breathing easily again.

She looked up at his gentle, deep eyes, taking the initiative to reach out and grasp his hand. Interlocking her fingers with his, their palms pressed tightly together. The warm touch felt exceptionally grounding.

"Okay, they all have to pass your test first." Yun Sheng’s voice was soft but exceptionally earnest. "As long as they don’t get your approval, I won’t let anyone become my Sentinel."

Warmth bloomed in Si Jin’s chest. Using the momentum, he tightened his arms, pulling her firmly back into his embrace.

He held her tightly, his grip filled with an undeniable reluctance to let go. He kept Yun Sheng securely enveloped in his arms, resting his chin gently on the top of her head. His breath lingered in her hair, intimate and deeply affectionate.

The corridor was quiet and deserted. The two of them embraced intimately, the atmosphere so tender it felt scorching.

But the quiet barely lasted a few seconds before the sound of synchronized footsteps echoed from behind. It was Luo Cheng, leading his team up to join them. Just as he rounded the corner of the corridor, he immediately spotted the embracing couple, their posture intimate and lingering.

Luo Cheng instantly halted his steps. Knowing better, he stopped right where he was, not daring to step forward and interrupt.

However, the sound of footsteps had already reached their ears. Yun Sheng and Si Jin returned to their senses simultaneously, tacitly releasing each other slightly.

Yun Sheng’s cheeks still bore a lingering, faint blush. She slightly smoothed out the hem of her clothes, looked at Luo Cheng, and greeted him mildly, "Deputy Luo." As she said this, she continued to hold Si Jin’s hand, their fingers still interlocked.

"Miss Yun, the General ordered me to bring some men up to handle the matter regarding Dean Zhang and Miss Lin." freewebnovⅇl.com

Yun Sheng nodded. "Yes, I know. We’ll leave first then, so we don’t get in your way." With that, she pulled Si Jin toward the stairwell.

Luo Cheng stood in place, his gaze landing on their tightly clasped, inseparable hands. Watching their close figures as they walked side by side, he silently sighed in his heart. It seemed his General still needed to step up his game and keep working hard.

Yun Sheng and Si Jin walked downstairs side by side. Just as they exited the stairwell and reached the lobby, they caught a distant glimpse of Su Wan and Lin Zhenye. Lin Zhenye was surrounded by a group of bodyguards, with Su Wan standing beside him. The two looked as though they had just had an argument. One wore a dark, cold expression, while the other’s brows were tightly knitted. Neither looked pleased.

Seeing this, Yun Sheng narrowed her eyes slightly and lowered her voice, speaking to Si Jin beside her. "The building shook so violently just now, and everyone was panicking to escape to the first-floor lobby, yet Lin Zhenye was nowhere to be seen from start to finish. Su Wan mentioned earlier that he had been with Zhang Qi all along. Zhang Qi is from the Dark Nest. Could Lin Zhenye also be involved with the Dark Nest, or perhaps even be one of their members?"

Si Jin raised his eyes and gave the distant pair a faint glance, a layer of coldness flashing in the depths of his gaze. "When I went up to look for Zhang Qi earlier, I didn’t see Lin Zhenye. Whether he’s involved with the Dark Nest or not can’t be confirmed yet. I’ll have someone look into it thoroughly later."

"Mhm." Yun Sheng responded softly, a sudden sense of powerlessness inexplicably surging in her heart, making her almost unable to suppress a sigh.

None of these events were mentioned in the original novel. Ever since she arrived in this world, the entire main plot had gone completely off track. The Dark Nest didn’t even exist in the original story. Yet this faction that appeared out of nowhere possessed frighteningly immense energy. They dared to wreak havoc and stir up storms on the Capital Star so brazenly. She truly had no idea who was pulling the strings behind the scenes.

She couldn’t shake the feeling that the Dark Nest had caused such a massive commotion not merely because they knew her spiritual power was special and wanted to capture her. She feared they were secretly brewing a much larger conspiracy!

Si Jin keenly sensed Yun Sheng’s low spirits and the anxiety hidden in her eyes. He gently squeezed her hand. "What’s wrong?"

Yun Sheng shook her head, suppressing all the chaotic thoughts in her mind, and said softly, "It’s nothing, I’m just a bit tired. Let’s avoid them and head straight for the exit."

She really didn’t want to step forward and invite trouble. Now that Lin Yueyao was unconscious and under control, once Su Wan and Lin Zhenye discovered she was missing, they would definitely hound her with endless questions. Whether she tried to defend herself or explain, it would only add to her troubles.

"Alright, let’s go this way." Si Jin immediately nodded in agreement. Tightening his grip on her hand, he turned sideways, changing direction, and walked briskly toward the exit on the other side.

Not far away, Su Wan happened to look up and instantly spotted the two of them walking side by side. She instinctively opened her mouth to call out to Yun Sheng. However, Si Jin led Yun Sheng away very quickly, their steps decisive. In the blink of an eye, they had walked far away, not giving her the slightest chance to speak.

Su Wan froze in place. Watching their retreating figures as they left in a hurry, a clear layer of disappointment surfaced in her eyes. But she glanced at the gloomy-faced Lin Zhenye beside her. In the end, she said nothing and didn’t chase after them.

The moment they stepped out of the hospital gates, the fresh outside air rushed to meet them, blowing away the oppressive and tense atmosphere from inside the building. Yun Sheng finally let out a complete sigh of relief.

She turned her head to look at Si Jin beside her, gently swinging their tightly interlocked hands. With a faint smile in her eyes, she asked softly, "Where are we going now? I don’t want to go back to the Lin Family."

Right now, Su Wan and Lin Zhenye still didn’t know that something had happened to Lin Yueyao. But since they hadn’t left the hospital, it was likely that aside from worrying about Lin Hao, they were also waiting for Lin Yueyao. Sooner or later, they would find out that Lin Yueyao had been taken away for interrogation. If Yun Sheng returned to the Lin Family now, what awaited her would likely be a pile of endless interrogations and trouble, and she simply couldn’t be bothered to deal with it.

Si Jin looked down at Yun Sheng’s relaxed expression, his eyes filled with unconcealable doting. His tone was gentle yet decisive. "Then let’s go to my place."

Yun Sheng immediately nodded obediently. Seeing this, the smile in Si Jin’s eyes grew even deeper. He tightened his grip on her hand, led her to the side of the road, and raised his hand to hail a hovercar.

After a smooth ride of about ten minutes, the car stopped below a quiet apartment building.

The apartment Si Jin rented wasn’t large—a one-bedroom layout with a living room and dining area. The decor and furniture were simple, devoid of any unnecessary luxurious embellishments, but it was kept spotlessly clean. Sunlight poured into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, exuding a comforting warmth. It looked unexpectedly cozy and healing, bringing a sense of tranquility the moment one walked in.

After entering, Yun Sheng bent down to change her shoes. Her heels had just left the floor when her body suddenly felt light. The sudden feeling of weightlessness made her instinctively raise her hand to grab Si Jin’s lapel, a trace of astonishment flashing in her eyes.

Before she knew it, she was lifted and seated on the entryway cabinet. And before she could even react, Si Jin had leaned in slightly, lowering his head to kiss her.

He gently took her lips, grinding against them slowly and earnestly. His touch was tender, yet it carried an undeniable dominance that allowed no escape. His warm breath spilled completely over Yun Sheng’s cheeks and the corners of her mouth, an intimate atmosphere instantly filling the small entryway.

Yun Sheng’s back pressed lightly against the wall. Enclosed in Si Jin’s tight embrace with nowhere to hide, she could only passively accept his kiss. The tingling, warm sensation on her lips spread little by little, traveling through her veins to every corner of her body. It made her go weak all over, her heartbeat thrown into complete disarray once again.

Si Jin firmly supported the small of her back with one hand, locking her securely in his arms. His other hand rested gently on the side of her face, his thumb caressing her smooth skin. His kisses grew increasingly lingering and delicate, intensifying layer by layer, utterly disrupting her breathing.
