Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 328

Lin Yue took out her key, inserted it into the lock, turned it, and with a click, the door opened.

She pushed open the door and stepped inside. Almost simultaneously, the man followed her in, squeezing right in.

However, his steps abruptly stopped as soon as he entered the door, and the expression on his face instantly froze, changing from a lewd expectation to a caught-off-hand astonishment.

Because right there in the lobby, Yun Yi had just finished showering. He was wearing only loose-fitting athletic pants, shirtless, and was haphazardly drying his still-dripping hair with a towel.

His well-proportioned muscles, honed from years of playing basketball, were clearly visible under the living room lights. While not exactly burly, his vibrant energy and the unintentional sense of strength he exuded were undeniable.

Hearing the door open, Yun Yi subconsciously looked up: "Sister Lin Yue, you're back..." Before he could finish speaking, he saw the uninvited guest frozen in the doorway, and his brows immediately furrowed. "Who are you?"

The man clearly hadn't expected there to be someone else in the room, and a young, intimidating-looking man at that.

His astonishment quickly turned into panic and embarrassment. His eyes darted around, and he hurriedly lowered his head, pretending that his phone had suddenly received an extremely important message. He swiped his fingers haphazardly across the screen, as if he were just a neighbor who had gone to the wrong floor.

He didn't dare look at Lin Yue or Yun Yi again. His body stiffened as he turned around and, almost simultaneously, quickened his pace to walk out the door, moving at more than twice the speed he had when he came up.

Lin Yue acted as if the man behind her didn't exist. She bent down to change her shoes, her tone as indifferent as if she were saying that the weather was nice today: "Just someone following me."

Yun Yi, however, was not so calm. He instantly understood what "following the road" meant, and a surge of anger welled up inside him!

"What?! Following you?! That bastard dares to stalk you?!" He slung the towel over his shoulder, not even caring that he wasn't dressed, and rushed to the door, roaring down the stairs, "Hey!"

The shout was so powerful that the sleazy man, who was almost down to the first floor, trembled in fear upon hearing it. He didn't dare to say a word, and he even forgot to pretend to look at his phone. He went from walking briskly to jogging and dashed out of the building entrance.

Yun Yi stood at the door, watching the man's disheveled retreating figure. His chest heaved with anger, and he wanted to chase after him, but remembering that he wasn't wearing a shirt and Lin Yue was still at home, he could only spit angrily downstairs: "Pah! Coward! Don't let me see you again!"

He slammed the door shut and locked it. Still feeling unsatisfied, he turned to Lin Yue, who was pouring water, and asked anxiously, "Sister Lin Yue! Are you alright? How far did that bastard follow you? Where did he start following you? Did he do anything to you?"

Seeing his panicked and agitated expression, Lin Yue found it somewhat amusing. She took a sip of water and shook her head: "He's been following us since the coffee shop. It's alright, he won't dare do anything."

"You followed me from the coffee shop?!" Yun Yi's voice rose another octave, his eyes widening. "So you noticed all along? Why didn't you call me sooner? Or call for help? This kind of scum deserves to be caught red-handed and beaten up!"

"I'm too lazy to bother." Lin Yue put down her water glass and walked towards her room. "Besides, you're home here."

She said this so naturally, as if she were simply stating the most basic fact—because she knew there were people at home, she felt safe and fearless, and even dealing with this kind of trouble seemed superfluous.

Yun Yi choked, his anger and any further words he wanted to say were blocked.

Lin Yue's words...were she affirming him? Did she think he was reliable?

His expression became somewhat conflicted, and the tips of his ears subtly turned red. He scratched his wet hair, his tone softening: "Well... we can't just let it go like this! Nothing happened this time, but what if next time..."

"There won't be a next time." Lin Yue interrupted him, her voice still calm but carrying an undeniable authority. "He won't dare to come again." After tonight's scare, that sleazy man will most likely have psychological trauma, and at least in this area, he won't dare to easily follow lone women again.

Moreover... not only that, he also doesn't have much of a chance to do such a thing anymore.

Lin Yue had already given him many chances along the way. But when he followed her inside, she had already lost the last chance she was giving him.

At that moment, Lin Yue had already infused a trace of true energy into his body. A month later, all the organs in his body would gradually fail, and he would die within a year at most.

Before Yun Yi could say anything more, Lin Yue pushed open the door and said, "I've taken a shower. You, put your clothes on. What kind of appearance is this?" Then she closed the door.

Yun Yi looked down at his bare upper body, belatedly feeling a little embarrassed. He quickly grabbed the T-shirt he had thrown on the sofa and put it on. But he was still thinking about what had just happened, getting angrier and angrier, and a little scared at the same time.

He paced restlessly around the living room a few times, and finally couldn't resist taking out his phone and tapping the screen rapidly with his fingers.

After a while, Lin Yue came out of the shower and dried her hair. She saw Yun Yi still sitting on the sofa, holding his phone, his brows furrowed, his fingers flying across the keyboard, and muttering to himself.

"What are you doing?" she asked casually.

"I mentioned this in the residents' group chat!" Yun Yi said without looking up, his tone serious. "I reminded everyone to be careful, especially girls walking home alone at night! I also tagged the property management and the local police officer, asking them to increase patrols, especially around our building! That damn pervert, this kind of safety hazard must be taken seriously!"

Lin Yue paused in drying her hair, looking at Yun Yi's serious yet indignant expression. She opened her mouth, wanting to say he was making a mountain out of a molehill, but ultimately remained silent.

In some ways, he did the right thing. Just because she wasn't afraid doesn't mean other women weren't.

Such warnings and appeals may indeed help avoid some potential dangers.

"Whatever you want," she said casually, turning to walk towards the kitchen to find milk.

That evening, she was chatting with Li Yuejiao. "Little Yueyue! You said some clueless scoundrel was following you? He even followed you to your doorstep? Are you alright?" This was followed by an angry emoji.

Lin Yue raised an eyebrow and replied, "It's nothing. How could anything happen to me?"

Li Yuejiao: "These bugs need to be scared off! But speaking of which, this reminds me. My bodyguard company is currently launching a nighttime escort service for women, and it's still in the pilot phase. It seems necessary to increase the advertising efforts! I'll give you some coupons next time; could you help me distribute them to the female classmates in my class who need them?"

Lin Yue thought for a moment and replied, "Let's see."

"Stop looking! This is a great thing for women! You know, in this day and age, it's so hard for girls to go out at night. They have to be so worried... Okay, it's good that you're alright. Next time something like this happens, call me first, and I'll send someone to 'escort' him home! I guarantee he'll never dare to walk alone at night again!"

After ending her call with Li Yuejiao, Lin Yue took the milk and returned to the living room. Yun Yi was still there, enthusiastically interacting with the neighbors in the group chat, replying with messages like "Thanks for the reminder, bro," and "That's terrifying, everyone be careful."
