Chapter 664: Her Reward

You Nianchu was shaken by his angry shout, her steps froze, her whole body tensed...

She looked at Lin Yuan, pale as paper, full of pain...

You Nianchu's tears flowed even more fiercely, yet she dared not take another step forward, she could only stand helplessly crying in place.

At that moment, Zheng Heilong not far away looked at Lin Yuan's weak appearance after being shot, and once again a ferocious, twisted smile curled on his face.

Zheng Heilong struggled to steady his stance, raising his pistol!

Zheng Heilong pulled the trigger again at Lin Yuan, shooting while howling:

"Lin Yuan, you too have today! Go die! I will kill you, then kill You Nianchu, and let You Kaixuan be utterly destroyed!"

The bullets, accompanied by wind noise, shot toward Lin Yuan again, their speed astonishing.

Lin Yuan's eyes turned cold, he endured the piercing pain in his abdomen, his body lunged sideways, barely dodging the incoming bullet!

The bullet grazed his arm and flew past, slamming heavily into the tree trunk, sending up a spray of wood chips and muddy water.

Before Zheng Heilong could pull the trigger again, a flash of ruthless determination crossed Lin Yuan's eyes!

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, ignoring the severe pain and bleeding in his abdomen, his form flickered!

Lin Yuan actually moved as if teleporting, swiftly charging toward Zheng Heilong!

His movement was so fast... only a blurred silhouette remained.

Zheng Heilong's pupils contracted sharply, obviously not expecting Lin Yuan, after being shot, to still have such astonishing speed?!

Zheng Heilong instinctively wanted to pull the trigger again, but it was already too late...

Lin Yuan's body... crossed with his in an instant!

The movement, so fast it was almost impossible to see clearly.

Zheng Heilong's face changed drastically, he stumbled back in terror!

But.

The next second, Zheng Heilong's body stiffened violently, the ferocious smile on his face froze instantly!

Because Lin Yuan's movement was as fast as lightning, he had already lunged forward and grabbed him.

Lin Yuan grabbed... Zheng Heilong's arm that still held the gun.

Lin Yuan exerted force with his fingertips, only a crisp "crack!" was heard.

Zheng Heilong's gun-holding arm was broken on the spot, bent at an eerie angle that made one's heart palpitate.

"Ah——!"

A shrill, agonized scream erupted from Zheng Heilong's mouth, pain making his whole body convulse, cold sweat mixing with rain and blood, streaming wildly down his cheeks.

Despite the excruciating pain, Zheng Heilong still refused to give up...

Zheng Heilong endured the pain of his broken arm, his other hand violently drew a sharp dagger from his waist!

Zheng Heilong's eyes ferocious, he mustered all his strength to stab Lin Yuan in the chest, hoping to take him down together!

But Lin Yuan had already seen through his intent, he turned his wrist and once again locked his wrist tightly!

Another crisp "crack!" sounded!

Zheng Heilong's other arm was also violently broken!

The dagger clanged "clang!" as it fell onto the muddy road, instantly submerged by rainwater.

Lin Yuan's eyes icy, without a shred of pity, he stepped forward, each hand gripping one of Zheng Heilong's legs, and exerted force!

Two crisp cracking sounds rang out in succession!

"Crack... crack...!!"

Zheng Heilong's legs were twisted off completely, utterly losing the ability to move!

"Pfft!!"

Zheng Heilong spat another mouthful of blood, his wail shaking the rainy night, his voice hoarse and broken, filled with extreme pain and despair.

He was covered in blood, collapsing like a heap of mud into the cold mire...

Rainwater continually washed away the blood on his body, yet could not wash away the resentment and malice in his eyes.

Even with all limbs broken and his body covered in wounds, Zheng Heilong still did not give up, he struggled to lift his head, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth...

Zheng Heilong glared at Lin Yuan with a vicious gaze, seemingly still wanting to make a final counterattack.

At that moment, You Nianchu, who had been standing in place with eyes red, suddenly came to her senses...

You Nianchu rushed forward quickly, picking up the gun on the ground.

Her hands trembled slightly from anger and tension, yet she aimed precisely at Zheng Heilong and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Gunshots... rang out one after another!

Bullets poured toward Zheng Heilong, each of You Nianchu's shots... hit vital spots precisely!

The bullets instantly struck Zheng Heilong's body!

Zheng Heilong's body collapsed to the ground, convulsing violently a few times...

The ferocity and viciousness in Zheng Heilong's eyes gradually faded... %

In the end, Zheng Heilong lost all signs of life, falling stiffly in the muddy rainy night, utterly still.

Watching Zheng Heilong die.

Lin Yuan's eyes showed some shock.

He hadn't expected that this girl You Nianchu would strike so ruthlessly?

She actually dared to shoot and kill someone?

Lin Yuan looked toward You Nianchu not far away.

At this moment, You Nianchu held the gun, her delicate frame still trembling, her chest rising and falling slightly.

Lin Yuan let out a helpless sigh, finally relaxing his breath at this moment.

But at this moment, his abdominal wound sent a sharper pain; blood kept pouring out, staining his clothes and the ground beneath him red.

Lin Yuan glanced at Zheng Heilong's corpse with a complex expression, feeling relief, fatigue, and a subtle heaviness.

Lin Yuan's body went limp, he staggered, almost collapsing to the ground.

Seeing this, You Nianchu instantly threw away her gun, rushed forward madly, and carefully helped Lin Yuan up.

You Nianchu tightly wrapped her arms around his arms, her voice trembling with tears: "Lin Laoshi! Lin Laoshi, hold on! I'll take you to the hospital right away!"

Lin Yuan leaned on You Nianchu, gritting his teeth against the abdominal pain, slowly shaking his head^^……

Lin Yuan's voice hoarse: "It's fine, no need to go to the hospital, just send me home—I can handle it myself."

He has his own way to stop bleeding and remove bullets from such gunshot wounds; going to the hospital would only cause trouble and might expose his skills.

Before You Nianchu could object, Lin Yuan slowly raised his hand, pinching a few silver needles he carried on him.

Ignoring You Nianchu's worried gaze, he accurately pierced the acupoints around his abdominal wound,

Lin Yuan's fingertips lightly twisted the silver needles, his movements practiced and steady.

In a moment, the torrential bleeding from his abdomen gradually eased, and the pain lessened a bit……

On Lin Yuan's pale face, a faint hint of color finally appeared.

You Nianchu watched his skilled movements, still anxious but also aware of Lin Yuan's ability.

You Nianchu could only suppress her unease.

You Nianchu carefully supported Lin Yuan, quickly walking toward the white Tesla.

She opened the car door and gently helped Lin Yuan into the passenger seat.

You Nianchu carefully fastened his seatbelt, then quickly went to the driver's seat, started the car, and sped toward Lin Yuan's home……

……

The rain continued, the road slick and hard to travel.

Soon the car arrived at the building where Lin Yuan lives.

You Nianchu immediately turned off the engine, quickly got out, and opened the passenger door.

She carefully helped Lin Yuan down.

You Nianchu half-supported, half-carried Lin Yuan as she slowly walked into the building elevator, soon reaching the upper floor.

As soon as they entered the home, You Nianchu helped Lin Yuan sit on the sofa.

She was about to fetch the medical kit, but Lin Yuan grabbed her.

"No need to rush, I'll do it myself," Lin Yuan said softly.

He slowly peeled off his blood-soaked clothes, revealing a gruesome abdominal wound, the two bullet holes still oozing blood.

The flesh around his belly…… was swollen and everted, a bloody mess, shocking to behold.

Lin Yuan hesitated not at all, pulling out silver needles and disinfecting alcohol from his pocket, sitting on the sofa to treat the wound himself.

You Nianchu stood aside; when she saw Lin Yuan's abdominal wound clearly, she could no longer hold back, tears bursting forth as she broke down completely.

She covered her mouth, trying hard not to sob, but her shoulders still trembled uncontrollably.

Her eyes filled with anguish and self‑reproach, tears streaming wildly down her cheeks.

It was all because of her that Lin Yuan suffered such severe injury and had to endure this pain.

Lin Yuan sensed her emotions, using the silver needle to gently probe the wound, trying to extract the bullet, while he lifted his head to look at her.

Lin Yuan spoke gently, with a hint of comfort: "Don't cry, it's fine—just a small wound, it'll heal soon, not painful."

He spoke lightly, but fine cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

The intense abdominal pain made Lin Yuan's fingertips tremble slightly.

Yet Lin Yuan still forced himself to stay calm, not wanting You Nianchu to worry more.

You Nianchu watched his feigned strength, her heart aching ever more……

She wiped her tears dry, took a deep breath.

You Nianchu slowly stepped forward, lightly pressing her hand onto Lin Yuan's.

You Nianchu's gaze firm and gentle: "Lin Laoshi, let me help you."

Before Lin Yuan could refuse, she picked up a nearby towel, soaked it in warm water, and gently wiped the blood from his body……

Her movements were so gentle, fearing to hurt Lin Yuan.

The warm towel glided over Lin Yuan's skin, carrying the warmth of You Nianchu's fingertips, dispelling his chill and pain.

Lin Yuan stared for a moment, then turned his head to look at her……

Lin Yuan's eyes brimmed with emotion, wanting to say something, but You Nianchu gently pressed her finger to his lips.

The next second, You Nianchu slightly leaned forward, tiptoeing……

She, tears and deep affection in her heart, lightly pressed her lips to Lin Yuan's……

At this moment, the air fell utterly silent!

In that kiss, You Nianchu felt heartache, gratitude, the relief of having survived, and a love long hidden in her heart.

Lin Yuan was completely dazed, his mind going blank in an instant……

At this moment, even his abdominal pain seemed temporarily forgotten.

Lin Yuan instinctively wanted to raise his hand, to push You Nianchu away——

He is You Nianchu's teacher; such a thing between them is improper.

Moreover…… he is seriously injured and should not lose control like this.

But You Nianchu…… had already anticipated his reaction……

Her jade arms…… tightly wrapped around Lin Yuan's neck, holding him fast.

You Nianchu's force……was so great it seemed to want to embed herself into his body.

She refused to yield even the slightest.

Tears slid down You Nianchu's cheeks, dropping onto Lin Yuan's shoulder, carrying a warm temperature……

You Nianchu slightly lifted her head, the tip of her nose reddened, her eyes full of pleading and humility.

Her voice choked with sobs, she whispered: "Lin Laoshi, don't push me away, okay? Just consider it as I owe you, I'll repay you this way, okay?"

She knew her action was somewhat abrupt, but she... could no longer suppress the love and guilt in her heart.

You Nianchu only wanted to use this way to get close to him and repay him.

Lin Yuan's abdominal wound still throbbed faintly, his whole body weak……

Adding to that…… You Nianchu held him extremely tight.

Lin Yuan for a moment…… actually couldn't push her away.

Lin Yuan stood frozen in place, his mind in utter chaos……

On one side was the restraint of teacher-student identity, on the other was You Nianchu's deep affection and tears in her eyes, leaving him torn between advancing and retreating, even his breathing became somewhat disordered.

Before Lin Yuan could recover, You Nianchu slightly tilted her head……

She, soft and sweet…… gently reached out……

In bud, about to bloom, now it blossoms.

Blossoming endless sweetness.

You Nianchu…… carried a hint of immaturity and tentativeness, yet was full of sincerity and deep feeling.

Lin Yuan's whole body jolted, he froze completely……

Lin Yuan's astonishment in his eyes deepened further……

He never expected You Nianchu to be this bold??

But Lin Yuan also clearly experienced You Nianchu's pure tenderness……

That taste was fresh, sweet, and soft, like a just-ripe strawberry, carrying a faint fruit aroma, clean and pure, a flavor he had never experienced before.

That fresh sweetness spread from his lips to his heart, dispelling Lin Yuan's fatigue and pain, and gradually breaking down his inner defenses.

The two clung tightly, kissing for a long while……

Inside the room only remained each other's hurried breathing and faint heartbeats……

The rain outside seemed to become background, highlighting this sudden intimacy, making it all the more moving.

After kissing for a long time, You Nianchu's body gradually went limp……

Her strength…… seemed to be completely drained.

You Nianchu leaned in Lin Yuan's embrace, her cheeks flushed, her eyes glazed……

Even her breathing became somewhat hurried, yet her eyes were full of satisfaction and shyness.

Lin Yuan seized the moment when her strength waned, finally finding an opportunity.

Lin Yuan gritted his teeth, enduring the intense abdominal pain, expending considerable effort before gently pushing You Nianchu away.

He looked at the girl before him, her cheeks crimson, her eyes dazed……

Lin Yuan felt a faint, hardly noticeable panic, his lips still seemed to retain her sweet taste, unable to dispel it.

Just then, Lin Yuan's gaze unintentionally fell on You Nianchu's calf……

Her pant leg was already soaked with blood; the calf, which already had a wound, now had an additional ferocious bullet hole, blood still seeping slightly, slowly trickling down the calf.

The blood stained her sock, shocking to behold.

Only now did Lin Yuan realize that You Nianchu had also been shot.

Lin Yuan's face instantly darkened, his tone full of urgency and reproach, he grabbed You Nianchu's calf.

Lin Yuan softly questioned: "Why didn't you say you were shot? Why didn't you tell me?"

He was preoccupied with his own wound, not noticing You Nianchu's abnormality at all.

A pang of guilt and heartache instantly rose in Lin Yuan's heart.

You Nianchu gently shook her head, a faint smile appearing on her face.

You Nianchu spoke softly yet with a hint of resolve, saying indifferently: "This little injury of mine, what is it compared to yours? To save me, you took two bullets in the abdomen, covered in blood; my tiny wound is nothing, I don't want you to worry about me again."

Lin Yuan watched her feigned nonchalance, his guilt and heartache growing stronger.

He could no longer attend to his own bleeding abdominal wound, casually setting down the silver needle in his hand, ignoring his weakness, he slowly squatted down.

Lin Yuan carefully cradled You Nianchu's calf, examining her wound.

Lin Yuan took out the remaining silver needles and disinfectant alcohol from his pocket, and began to treat You Nianchu's wound in an orderly manner.

He first used the silver needle…… precisely puncturing the acupoints around her calf wound to stop the bleeding.

Then he carefully disinfected with alcohol, and afterwards gently used the silver needle to carefully extract the bullet from her wound.

Lin Yuan's movements were skilled and focused, his eyes full of seriousness and heartache.

You Nianchu sat on the sofa, her beautiful eyes full of complex emotions.

There was guilt, gratitude, love, and a hint of shyness hardly noticeable.

She just stared blankly at the man squatting before her……

Watching him disregard his own pain, wholeheartedly treating her wound……

Watching the fine cold sweat seeping from his forehead^

A warm surge welled up in You Nianchu's heart, her eye sockets once again misted.

Lin Yuan's movements were skilled and meticulous; soon he extracted the bullet from You Nianchu's calf, carefully disinfected it, then gently wrapped it with clean gauze……

His movements were so gentle…… that You Nianchu felt no pain at all.

After treating the wound, Lin Yuan slowly rose to his feet.

At this moment, his abdominal wound, because of the bending motion just now, again sent a wave of piercing pain.

The pain made Lin Yuan involuntarily suck in a breath of cold air, his face turned a few shades paler, and he instinctively pressed his hand against his abdomen.

Seeing his pitiable state, You Nianchu's guilt deepened.

She quickly reached out to try to support Lin Yuan.

But Lin Yuan gently pressed down on her hand:

"I'm fine, just bear with it; your wound has just been treated, don't move around."

His voice still carried a hint of weakness, yet remained gentle, his eyes full of concern for You Nianchu.

You Nianchu obediently stopped moving, lowered her head to look at herself, her whole body smeared with mud and blood, sticky and clinging to her skin.

At this moment she was both dirty and uncomfortable, even her hair still retained the mud from the rainy night.

This made her feel uneasy all over.

But her calf had just been shot, the wound wrapped in gauze, so she absolutely couldn't get it wet to wash…

You Nianchu's heart… involuntarily welled up with a hint of grievance and helplessness.

She lifted her head, gazing at Lin Yuan, her cheeks slightly flushed, her eyes holding a touch of shyness and pleading.

She suddenly thought of a way to repay and reward Lin Yuan.

You Nianchu bit her lip, her voice soft as a mosquito's hum, and she whispered: "Lin Laoshi, I'm all dirty and sticky; I want to take a shower, but… but I've been shot, I can't shower, and I can't even stand."

By the end of her words, her voice grew even softer, her eyes full of humble pleading…

You Nianchu…… hesitated for a long time before gathering courage, timidly looking at Lin Yuan.

She softly added: "Could you… help me?"

Lin Yuan, upon hearing that, froze instantly…

Lin Yuan's face was full of astonishment, and he instinctively countered:

"Help you? How could I help you?"

He never expected that You Nianchu would make such a request.

Lin Yuan momentarily found himself at a loss, his mind instantly in chaos.

You Nianchu's cheeks flushed to the point of almost bleeding, she slightly lowered her head, not daring to meet Lin Yuan's eyes.

You Nianchu nervously twisted the corner of her clothing, her voice tinged with shyness and urgency, she whispered:

"I… I can't stand on my own; help me into the bathroom and help me wash up, okay? I won't trouble you for long—just support me and help me wipe down."

"Huh??" Lin Yuan's eyes widened, completely bewildered…
