Chang Geng was fooled easily, he went to grab the bottle that was hung next to the Light Armor suit.

Gu Yun tilted his head and downed half of the wine in one go. As he almost finished the whole bottle, Chang Geng quickly held on to his wrist and took the bottle away by force: "Enough, don't drink so much even if it is medicinal wine."

The strong wine flowed into his stomach like a burning fire, the blood in his whole body boiled up. Gu Yun let out a breath and felt that his sight was clearer now. It was just that he started to get a bit dizzy from drinking too fast. The two had nothing to say, and after looking at each other for a while, Gu Yun could not hold on. He leaned on the bed and gently closed his eyes.

His intention to send Chang Geng away was made crystal clear, even Chang Geng himself understood that he should leave, but his feet seemed as if they were rooted in one place.

Chang Geng mocked himself on one hand: "Even if you feel worried it would all still be meaningless, just be sensible and leave now."

But at the same time, he involuntarily reached out and pressed the acupuncture point on Gu Yun's head.

As he continued, he felt that he himself was despicable and low, yet he could not stop.

Gu Yun's forehead was cold, and except for the frowning of his eyebrows at the beginning, he did not express any other opinion, he simply let Chang Geng do as he pleased.

It was only when Chang Geng's hands felt a bit tired that he whispered, "Do you feel better now?"

Gu Yun opened his eyes and looked at Chang Geng silently.

The so-called 'even the wise can be wrong at times, and even the fools can at times be correct' under the influence of wine — Gu Yun was able to say something sensible for once. Looking at Chang Geng for a while, he suddenly said:

"Even after we arrive at the capital, yifu will still be here to protect you. Don't be afraid."

Chang Geng was completely stunned. Under the dim light, he seemed to tremble greatly.

Forced to mature so soon at this age, when knowing full well that he had nowhere and no one to rely on but himself, he could only clench his teeth and force himself into a calm and restrained adult.

But, in the face of just the slightest bit of warmth that he had always longed for, the tough and brave exterior fell apart and revealed the soft and fragile child inside.

Gu Yun stretched out a hand towards him: "Yifu was wrong, all right?"
