"Let go!" Shen Jingyan's eyes widened with anger as she stared at Jiang Xiyan. Her eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire, filled with determination and anger. Her chest was heaving violently with excitement, and her breathing became rapid.

However, in the face of Shen Jingyan's angry rebuke, Jiang Xiyan remained unmoved. He tightly grasped Shen Jingyan's slender wrist, and the strength was so great that Shen Jingyan's skin turned slightly pale. He looked stubborn, with a barely perceptible smile on the corner of his mouth, as if provoking Shen Jingyan: "I won't let go."

The two of them were in a stalemate, and the air around them seemed to freeze. Shen Jingyan tried to break free from Jiang Xiyan's restraints, but no matter how hard she tried, Jiang Xiyan's hand locked her wrist tightly like an iron clamp, and she didn't move at all.

Lin Yu, who was standing aside, finally couldn't stand it anymore. His face darkened, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He raised his fist without hesitation and hit Jiang Xiyan in the face. Jiang Xiyan staggered a few steps by this sudden punch. He let go of Shen Jingyan's hand and covered his beaten cheek with his hand, his eyes full of astonishment and anger. Lin Yu stood in front of Shen Jingyan, like a guardian angel. He opened his arms slightly, protecting Shen Jingyan behind him, and looked at Jiang Xiyan firmly, as if to declare to him that Shen Jingyan was not someone he could bully at will.

Jiang Xiyan's face turned red, veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire. He stared at Lin Yu in front of him and roared: "Who do you think you are! How dare you hit me?" His angry voice seemed to shatter the air around him, making people shudder.

At this time, Lin Yu showed no fear. His tall body stood firmly in front of Shen Jingyan like an indestructible fortress, protecting her tightly behind him. Lin Yu also widened his eyes and stared at Jiang Xiyan without flinching. His eyes were full of anger and warning. He shouted: "Jiang Xiyan, I advise you to be sensible and get out of here! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude. I will call the police immediately and let them deal with you, you bastard!"

Jiang Xiyan's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a contemptuous sneer, that smile seemed to condense the winter frost, making people shudder. He stared at the other person like a venomous snake, and said coldly: "Call the police? Haha, it's ridiculous! You, a young boy, do you know who I am? Listen carefully, be smart and stay away from her quickly, otherwise the consequences will not be something you can afford!"

Lin Yu, who was standing opposite, was not moved at all. He clenched his fists tightly, straightened his spine, and faced Jiang Xiyan's threatening gaze without fear. Although his voice was low, the power contained in it should not be underestimated: "I don't know who you are. To be honest, I'm not interested in knowing at all!"

Hearing this, Jiang Xiyan instantly became furious, and veins popped out on his forehead. He took a step forward, his whole body exuding a strong sense of oppression, and his eyes were full of naked provocation. "Humph, you ignorant brat, do you really take yourself seriously? You think you can protect her? It's just a foolish dream!"

Lin Yu's eyes were firm and fearless. He clenched his teeth tightly and straightened his steel-like spine. His eyes were as sharp as a sword, staring straight at Jiang Xiyan, and said loudly: "Of course I can do it! As long as I am here, you will never touch Jingyan again!"

Jiang Xiyan's face turned livid when he heard this, and veins popped up on his forehead. He was so angry that he sneered. He suddenly swung his strong and powerful fist and smashed it towards Lin Yu with a whirring sound. The speed of this punch was extremely fast, and if he was hit, the consequences would be disastrous.

However, Lin Yu was prepared. He was agile, like a nimble cheetah, and quickly dodged Jiang Xiyan's fatal blow. At the same time, he swung his right fist without hesitation and counterattacked with lightning speed.

In an instant, the two of them collided violently like Mars hitting the Earth. They exchanged punches and kicks, neither of them giving in. Each attack contained endless power and anger, and the fight was indisputable. The surrounding air seemed to become hot because of their fierce fight, and the dust was flying, and the scene fell into chaos.

Shen Jingyan stood aside, extremely anxious. Her beautiful face was filled with worry and fear, tears welling up in her eyes. She desperately shouted, "Stop fighting! Please stop fighting!" while trying to rush forward to separate the two people who were fighting, but she was too weak to get close.

But at this time, Lin Yu and Jiang Xiyan were already furious, and they had only one thought in their minds - to defeat the other party. They turned a deaf ear to Shen Jingyan's shouts, and continued to wave their fists wildly, launching a thrilling life-and-death contest.

Although Lin Yu was not tall and strong, he burst out with great strength to protect Shen Jingyan. Jiang Xiyan relied on his strength to attack Lin Yu continuously, but Lin Yu dodged flexibly and found opportunities to counterattack from time to time.

After a few rounds, both of them were injured. Jiang Xiyan had several bruises on his face, and blood flowed from the corners of Lin Yu's mouth. But neither of them had any intention of stopping, and they continued to fight fiercely.

At this critical moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the noisy and chaotic crowd around: "The police are coming!"

When Jiang Xiyan heard this, his heart trembled violently, as if he was struck by thunder, and he was instantly confused. His fist, which was raised high and was about to swing down again, was also stopped in mid-air as if it was cast with a spell.

On the other side, Lin Yu, who had been passively beaten, took advantage of this gap to breathe heavily. His bloodshot eyes were still staring at Jiang Xiyan, full of vigilance and alertness, fearing that the other party would attack him again before the police arrived.

Not long after, a burst of hurried footsteps came from far away. I saw several policemen in uniforms and dashing figures quickly arrived at the scene. They acted in a well-trained manner and separated Jiang Xiyan and Lin Yu without hesitation to prevent the situation from getting worse.

One of the policemen had a serious look on his face. He looked at the two people in front of him with a sharp gaze and asked sternly, "What's going on? Why are you fighting here for no reason?"

Jiang Xiyan glared at Lin Yu fiercely, and then said nothing. Lin Yu said calmly: "He bullied my friend, I can't just sit there and watch."

After the police learned about the situation, they criticized and educated them. Finally, Jiang Xiyan left unwillingly under the police's gaze. Lin Yu turned to look at Shen Jingyan with a gentle smile on his face. "Jingyan, it's okay."

Shen Jingyan looked at the wound on Lin Yu's face, and her heart was filled with emotion and distress. "Brother Lin Yu, you are injured..."

"I'm fine," Lin Yu waved his hand and smiled disapprovingly, "It's just a minor injury."

Shen Jingyan felt even more distressed when she saw Lin Yu's nonchalant look. She gently pulled Lin Yu's hand, her voice trembling slightly: "You said you were fine, but you're bleeding. Let's go and treat the wound."

Lin Yu wanted to refuse, but seeing Shen Jingyan's worried look, he nodded obediently. They came to a nearby pharmacy, and Shen Jingyan carefully helped Lin Yu into the store. She looked around for the location of the medicines, and her brows furrowed slightly. After finding the disinfectant and gauze, Shen Jingyan gently let Lin Yu sit on the chair, and she half-knelt in front of him.

She picked up the cotton ball with tweezers, dipped it in disinfectant, and then gently wiped Lin Yu's wound. Shen Jingyan's movements were very gentle, as if she was treating a precious work of art. Lin Yu quietly looked at Shen Jingyan's serious look, and a warm current surged in his heart. His eyes were full of tenderness, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

"Jingyan, thank you." Lin Yu said softly.

Shen Jingyan raised her head and gave him a reproachful look: "Why are you thanking me? You got hurt because of me. Don't be so impulsive next time."

"I don't regret it," Lin Yu looked at Shen Jingyan firmly, and said seriously, "If I encounter this situation again, I will still protect you without hesitation."

"Brother Lin Yu, you are so kind to me without hesitation, I am so narcissistic that I think you like me!"

"Jingyan," Lin Yu was stunned at first, then his eyes softened, "I... I do like you. I've had a good impression of you since the first time we met. I'm fascinated by your kindness, intelligence, and bravery. I know I'm much older than you, and I also know that you've just experienced a setback in a relationship, so I didn't dare to confess to you, but just silently guarded you by your side. But today, seeing you being bullied by that bastard, I really couldn't help it. I don't want to hide my feelings anymore, I want to tell you, I like you, Jingyan."

Shen Jingyan's heart skipped a beat when she heard Lin Yu's words, and her cheeks instantly flushed. She stared at Lin Yu blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment. Her hands twisted together unconsciously, and her eyes flashed with a complicated light.

After a long while, she spoke softly: "Brother Lin Yu, I...I didn't expect you to like me. I always thought you just treated me as a sister."

"Jingyan, I know my confession may be a little sudden and make you feel overwhelmed. But I am serious. I like you, not just as a sister, but the kind of love that wants to be with you." Lin Yu looked at Shen Jingyan gently, his eyes full of anticipation.

Shen Jingyan bit her lip, her mind full of thoughts. She looked at Lin Yu's sincere eyes and felt the deep affection in his words. She lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

"Brother Lin Yu, I... I just got over my last relationship, and I'm not sure if I have the courage to get into another relationship again." Shen Jingyan's voice was very soft, with a hint of hesitation.

"I understand, Jingyan." Lin Yu nodded slightly, his eyes revealing understanding and respect. "You have just been through so much, you need time to adjust your mentality. I am willing to wait for you, until the day you are ready."

"Brother Lin Yu, there is probably no girl who wouldn't like someone as warm and charming as you. I'm just afraid of hurting you." Shen Jingyan raised her head with a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Jingyan, you don't have to worry about this. I know that feelings cannot be forced, and I won't put any pressure on you. I just want you to know that I will always be here to accompany you and support you. No matter what decision you make, I will respect your choice." Lin Yu reached out and gently held Shen Jingyan's hand, giving her strength and comfort.

Shen Jingyan felt the warmth of Lin Yu's palm, and her heart was beating. She gently pulled her hand back, her eyes somewhat evasive.

"Brother Lin Yu, I... I don't know what to say. I am very touched by your feelings for me, but I really need time to think about it." Shen Jingyan's voice was a little hoarse.

Lin Yu looked at Shen Jingyan's reaction. Although he felt a little disappointed, he still nodded in understanding.

"Okay, Jingyan, I won't force you. Take your time to think about it, I will always wait for you." Lin Yu's eyes were full of tenderness and patience.

Shen Jingyan glanced at the time on her phone. "It's almost ten o'clock. Do you have classes tomorrow? I have classes tomorrow afternoon! Your hand is injured. I'll stay at your place tonight!"

"Jingyan, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me. You still have classes tomorrow, I'll take you home." Lin Yu said as he stood up, picked up his coat and straightened his collar. At this time, the street outside the pharmacy was lit up by lights, and occasionally pedestrians hurried by. "It's so late, it's not safe for you to go back alone."

"Your hand is injured, so let me stay at your place for one night!" Shen Jingyan frowned slightly, her eyes full of worry.

"Jingyan, I know you are worried about me, but I'm really fine. And I don't have any extra beds, where are you going to sleep? Be obedient, I'll take you home." Lin Yu persuaded patiently, looking at Shen Jingyan gently.

"I remember we had a video call. Your house is so big. Just think of it as showing me around. My flight leaves at 11 o'clock tomorrow, and I have classes in the afternoon, so I'll be able to make it in time." There was a hint of anticipation in Shen Jingyan's eyes, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

"Okay, then I'll take you to my house. But you have to catch a flight tomorrow, so you have to get up early." Lin Yu smiled helplessly, knowing that he couldn't persuade Shen Jingyan, so he had to agree.

"Okay, let's go." Shen Jingyan smiled happily.

"Well, let's go." Lin Yu stood up, picked up the coat on the ground, and walked out of the pharmacy with Shen Jingyan. The night breeze blew gently, blowing their hair. They walked side by side on the street, and their figures gradually lengthened under the lights.

Soon, they arrived at Lin Yu's home. A luxurious two-story villa came into Shen Jingyan's sight. The exterior of the villa was designed in European style, with white walls and black roofs, which looked particularly grand. The villa was surrounded by a beautiful large garden, which was full of various flowers and green plants. The colorful flowers swayed gently in the breeze, exuding bursts of fragrance. There was also a winding path in the garden leading to the gate of the villa.

Walking into the villa, the spacious and bright living room is eye-catching. A gorgeous chandelier hangs from the ceiling of the living room, and the light shines on the soft sofa and exquisite coffee table, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere.
