Gu Jin's eyes narrowed. "I don't trust them."
"Exactly," Long Yifan said. "The moment someone betrays you once, you become careful around them forever. If you wake them up, they'll know you have something special. Even if they don't say it out loud, they'll doubt you. They'll never fully trust you again."
Gu Jin stayed quiet.
She knew he was right.
Even Jiang and the others, who had helped her before, could turn into a problem if they learned too much. Especially someone like Qin Ye, who had already tried to trick her.
Her heart slowly turned colder.
She clenched her fists and muttered, "Then I guess I'll have to do everything myself."
Long Yifan stretched like a lazy cat and grinned.
"I'll make the array… if you give me one kiss on my cheeks."
Gu Jin rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "You can keep dreaming," she said flatly.
Long Yifan chuckled. "That's fine. I've been dreaming about you for a long time anyway."
Gu Jin blinked, speechless.
