"...Huh?" Wen Ran, tense all over, looked up to meet the boy's rare serious gaze, her mind didn't quite register.
"I know I'm very much loved, and it's normal for you to like me, care about me, and worry about me, but you need to control yourself a bit."
Wen Ran: "..."
What exactly is he talking about?
Shen Wu blinked indifferently, the sword in his hand disappeared, so he raised his hand, poking her cheek as he spoke with a serious tone, "Today you're afraid I'll get hurt by the Tree Demon, so you shielded me. Maybe someday when I become an enemy to the world, you'll still shield me. Then you'll be crushed into dust by them, so you need to control your affection for me."
"You might be misunderstanding something..."
"Wasn't that speech about being afraid of someone getting hurt directed at me just now?"
Wen Ran smiled, "Of course it was for you."
At her words, the sword that had appeared in his hand earlier vanished again, and Wen Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
