Yang Yunhai naturally caught the implication in Gu Lingling’s words. Originally, he thought she would continue, but it was clear she didn’t intend to elaborate. It seemed this person should be related to the military.
He couldn’t help but ruffle her hair. Before he had any other feelings for Gu Lingling, he had told her that if anything happened or if she was wronged, he would stand up for her. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱
But every time he thought Gu Lingling would seek help, she managed to solve it herself.
It’s not that she refuses to trust others, but it seems she’s formed a habit of relying only on herself no matter what.
Yang Yunhai felt a pang of sadness thinking about this.
How had this girl managed in the past ten years?
Gu Lingling felt that Yang Yunhai appeared strange at this moment, so she smiled and said, "I know."
The Black Bird flapped its wings helplessly.
These two are simply not on the same wavelength.
It couldn’t help but feel worried for its owner. Looking at the little girl, she seemed completely unaware of her owner’s feelings.
Sigh... one keeps it bottled inside, and the other is too clueless to notice anything.
The Black Bird King worried for their future.
"Let’s go." This time, Yang Yunhai didn’t use a stick; he directly took Gu Lingling’s hand and walked forward. Clearly feeling her stiffen, he explained, "Just in case something happens."
Gu Lingling was taken aback, but seeing how serious he was, she didn’t overthink it or realize that Yang Yunhai’s feelings for her had changed.
Yang Yunhai’s lips curled into a slight smile.
Since his feelings were clear, why bother using sticks and such—that would be pretentious.
Besides, what he wanted was this slow infiltration. The little girl still held more reverence than anything else for him, and the first thing he needed to eliminate was her fear of him.
He wanted her to get used to him, then slowly win her heart.
In a short time, Captain Yang had already devised a detailed plan to pursue her and wasted no time putting it into action.
The naive Gu Lingling had no idea that the Captain she wanted to repay had already set his sights on her.
Of course, even if Yang Yunhai confessed to her now, she definitely wouldn’t believe it.
How could that be possible!
The famous Yang Yunhai, how could he possibly be interested in a girl from the countryside like her?
It’s undeniable that Gu Lingling was quite confident in other matters, but when it came to Yang Yunhai, she was completely lacking in confidence.
The Black Bird couldn’t help but admire its owner even more.
His charm tactics, look at that—his mind full of schemes, yet his face perfectly composed, not giving away any of his little thoughts.
Gu Lingling didn’t notice Yang Yunhai’s peculiarity. She was still considering how to sneak back to where she previously lost her clothes to look for some evidence.
The little girl’s hand was soft and nice to hold, but Yang Yunhai was also afraid of scaring her, so he restrained himself as much as possible.
It was really maddening!
The Black Bird cackled behind them. If the two of them turned to look, they’d see it looking gleeful.
Yang Yunhai didn’t even need to look; he sent a stone its way.
The Black Bird squealed and eventually chose to keep silent.
Indeed, it’s better not to disturb the master’s good show.
But... it seemed like it forgot that by following them out , would the master even recognize it’s his master?
