it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That single word made the air between them tighten again, though not in the same way as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Long turned her

breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am not trying to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Long looked back at him immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you are still doing it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Sheng had no reply to that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she was not wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silence stretched for a few seconds before Su Long finally spoke again, her voice steadier now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just remember something,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Sheng looked at her attentively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am not asking you to abandon your sense of responsibility,\" she continued. \"But I will not tolerate you placing yourself in unnecessary danger for someone else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Sheng blinked slightly at her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, unexpectedly, a faint smile appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That sounded like concern,\" he said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Long’s expression darkened immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is not concern,\" she replied quickly. \"It is practicality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Sheng nodded once, still smiling faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his tone made it clear he did not fully believe her explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Long noticed that too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips pressed into a thin line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are very annoying when you do that,\" she said flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Sheng’s smile widened just a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will take that as you not being angry anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am still angry,\" she corrected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not as much,\" he replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made her pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at him for a moment longer, then finally turned away again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Just do not repeat it,\" she said quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Sheng’s expression softened immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind moved gently through the courtyard, carrying away what was left of the tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief moment, neither of them spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Su Long shifted slightly, as if preparing to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Sheng watched her for a second before speaking again, his voice lower now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If anything changes with her situation,\" he said, \"you will tell me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Long stopped walking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did not turn around immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she answered simply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will decide that myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Sheng nodded once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Long finally glanced back at him over her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not interfere in my plans either,\" she added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Sheng met her gaze calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never intended to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Su Long turned fully this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with that, she walked away, disappearing into the dimly lit corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Sheng remained standing alone in the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The candlelight flickered softly against his face as he watched her leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when her footsteps faded completely did he finally look away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for a long time—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not move.\u003C\u002Fp>",1055,"2026-06-06T06:19:12.769Z",1,"novelbin.me","3795866d0c2ea14dee36cd9034b9fcfd4f3d7897f15a3d81a6e6665ed0500f0a","exiled-ha-i-have-an-infinite-space-chapter-162","exiled-ha-i-have-an-infinite-space-chapter-160",175,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fexiled-ha-i-have-an-infinite-space-cover.jpg"]
