A Valiant Life

“Brother Lin, where will you be staying tonight?” Wu Huan Yue had drunk some wine and her face was flushed as she held onto Lin Fan’s arm affectionately. Her wavy long hair hung at both sides of her cheeks as she appeared quite mature.

“Where do you guys stay?” asked Lin Fan.

Wu Huan Yue replied, “We stay at the hotel booked by the production team.”

Lin Fan nodded. “Alright then. I’ll stay there too and I’ll go back early tomorrow.”

Wu Huan Yue’s manager had seen Master Lin and had an idea of what was going on so she hadn’t stayed with them. She had gone back earlier. She had an idea of what was going to happen that night.

Although Wu Huan Yue had always said that she had never reached that stage with Master Lin, as an outsider, the manager wouldn’t believe her.

Chen Bao Guo had long gotten used to how this profession worked. He had an idea of what was going on between Wu Huan Yue and Master Lin but he would definitely not say it explicitly. Also, he could see that Master Lin’s talent and character was much more reliable than those investors.

With such a supporter, Wu Huan Yue would be able to have a smooth sail through the industry in future. She wouldn’t have to do things that she didn’t want to do.

“Teacher Chen, where are you returning to?” at the entrance of the hotel, Lin Fan saw Chen Bao Guo starting his car, so he asked.

Chen Bao Guo replied kindly, “Back to the hotel.”

This veteran artiste didn’t have a manager, nor did he have anyone following him. He went from place to place all by himself.

“Let’s go back together then,” said Lin Fan with a smile.

Chen Bao Guo was taken aback as he hadn’t expected Master Lin to say that. But then he smiled. It seemed that Master Lin was worried that Wu Huan Yue, with her current status, might get photos taken of her by paparazzi. But if Chen Bao Guo was together with the two of them, it wouldn’t be an issue.

Alright then. I have a good feeling about these two. I don’t mind being a support for once.

Wu Huan Yue lowered her head and asked softly, “Brother Lin, can we slowly walk back?” Her voice was very soft and if he didn’t listen carefully, he wouldn’t have heard what she was saying. But her grip on Lin Fan’s arm tightened slightly as if she was asking him to agree.

Lin Fan looked down at her, then agreed in the end. Then, he said to Chen Bao Guo apologetically, “Sorry, Teacher Chen. I think we will walk back after all. If we have the chance, let’s meet again in future.”

Chen Bao Guo smiled. “No worries. Young people should be more romantic.”

Lin Fan waved his hand, then started walking off with Wu Huan Yue by his side.

They weren’t far from their hotel and it was only a half an hour walk.

Wu Huan Yue wore a hat as she attached herself to Lin Fan’s arm like a little bird. She held tightly onto Lin Fan as they walked slowly along the pavement.

It wasn’t too late yet and there were some pedestrians on the way.

“What is it? You seem to have something on your mind,” asked Lin Fan curiously.

Wu Huan Yue smiled brightly. “No, I just feel very safe and very fortunate.”

Lin Fan smiled back. “Aren’t you just saying the obvious? With me around, of course you’re safe. If a bad person comes, I’ll send him flying with a kick.”

Wu Huan Yue covered her mouth as she laughed. “I know that Brother Lin is the most powerful. I feel very fortunate to have been able to meet someone like Brother Lin right after graduating. If I didn’t meet you, I really don’t know how my life would be like.”

Hearing that, Lin Fan sighed in his heart as well. The world had its ways. He didn’t know either. If he hadn’t gotten the Encyclopedia, what would his life be like?

This wasn’t a dream. It was all real.

Could it be that he had saved the whole world in his past life, so the heavens gave him this priceless gift?

“Brother Lin, what’s up with you?” Wu Huan Yue asked suspiciously as she noticed that Brother Lin seemed to be thinking of something.

Lin Fan replied, “It’s nothing. I’m just thinking about something. You shouldn’t think too much either. This is all fate. With one look, I can see through everything clearly.”

*Pfft!* Wu Huan Yue burst into laughter. “Brother Lin, can’t you do a reading and see who my other half will be and where he is?”

When she asked this, Wu Huan Yue’s heart rate started increasing. It was as if she was waiting eagerly but at the same time, she was a little afraid. She was afraid that she would hear something apart from what she imagined.

Lin Fan was silent for a while before replying with a smile, “I just did a reading and I saw that the answer to your question is up to the heavens. The path ahead is unclear and I can’t see through it.”

“You’re giving me a vague answer again.” Wu Huan Yue pouted. Although she hadn’t gotten her answer, she felt great.

Women are sensitive and they’re able to sense mystical things.

The two of them walked silently along the pavement. Even if the whole place was bustling with noise, to Wu Huan Yue, the two of them would just be in their own world.

Nothing could draw her attention.

Minutes and seconds passed by and soon, they had reached the hotel lounge.

Wu Huan Yue felt that time had passed too quickly. They hadn’t even spent long enough alone.

“Alright, I’ll go and book a room,” said Lin Fan.

This was the lounge and it was likely that there would be reporters. However, Wu Huan Yue was tugging on Lin Fan’s wrist with a shy expression on her face as she said softly, “Actually, you don’t have to. If you want to stay at my place…that’s fine too.”

As she reached the end of her sentence, Wu Huan Yue’s face was as red as a lobster. For a girl to say such things, it would really make one blush.

She didn’t care about whether other people would see this because she felt fearless. She just wanted to do her best to be together with the person she liked.

But she knew about Wu You Lan’s existence and she also understood that Brother Lin was an outstanding individual. She wasn’t the only one who liked him.

However, if she didn’t try her best and she just waited for luck to arrive, that would be the silliest choice.

Luck has to be seized by oneself. If she was shy just because she was a girl and didn’t do anything, she might regret it for the rest of her life.

Lin Fan was slightly surprised. She understood Wu Huan Yue’s feelings, but…

Patting Wu Huan Yue’s head, he smiled gently. “Alright, don’t think too much. Before I’m sure about anything, I won’t cause harm to anyone. You’re the one I want to harm the least. Do you understand what I mean?”

Wu Huan Yue looked up at Brother Lin. Finally, she nodded. “I understand.” Then, she released her grip as she watched Lin Fan walk to the counter.

Lin Fan said, “I would like a room.”

…

In the elevator, Lin Fan looked at his room card. He was staying on the seventh floor while Wu Huan Yue was on the second. Then, they reached the second floor and he walked Wu Huan Yue to her door. “Rest well.”

Wu Huan Yue nodded. “Mmm, I got it, Brother Lin. You should rest early too. When you leave in the morning, you have to send me a message.”

Lin Fan smiled. “Alright, I’ll send you a message.”

Wu Huan Yue reluctantly closed the door. Lin Fan turned around and left as he smiled to himself. Then, Wu Huan Yue opened the door again. “Brother Lin…”

Lin Fan turned around, smiling. “What is it?”

Wu Huan Yue seemed like she didn’t know what to say. “It’s nothing. Just rest well.”

“Mmm, you too. Remember to lock the door. If there’s anything, give me a call,” said Lin Fan with a smile.

“Mmm.” Wu Huan Yue nodded.

Wu Huan Yue had a slight disappointment in her heart but she had etched what Brother Lin had said into her memory.

Before he was sure about anything, he wouldn’t cause harm to anyone.
