102: A resonance of souls! I'll fight for you!

The warmth coming from her wrist made Yoona's body tremble slightly.

That familiar heat, carrying a sense of dominance and arrogance, branded itself directly into her heart through her skin.

Stiffly, bit by bit, she turned her head.

Lin Feng's face appeared before her just like that, without any warning.

No mask.

No hat.

That face, which had haunted her dreams for countless nights yet brought endless pain and fear in recent days, was reflected clearly and completely in her pupils.

Yoona's lips parted slightly, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

How could he be here?

How did he dare to come?!

"Mr. Lin Feng! Have you lost your mind? Please let go immediately!"

The first to react was Yoona's capable Agent.

Her face turned ashen instantly, and her voice was so sharp it almost pierced the eardrums.

"Do you have any idea what you're doing right now?!"

"This is a public place! Do you want to ruin our Yoona and yourself as well?!"

As she scolded him, she reached out to pry Lin Feng's hand away.

The surrounding travelers had completely erupted into a commotion.

"It really is Lin Feng! I'm not seeing things!"

"Oh my god! What a scene! He actually chased her all the way to the airport!"

"Quick, take a picture! Record it! This is definitely headline news!"

Countless cell phones, like dark muzzles of guns, were all aimed at them in unison.

Camera flashes began to go off one after another.

However, Lin Feng turned a deaf ear to all of this.

He ignored the Agent who was lunging at him like a mad dog.

Nor did he look at the faces around him that were trembling with excitement.

From beginning to end, his eyes were only on Yoona.

Those eyes, which had ignited with flames countless times on the court but had been dim and lusterless last night, now burst forth with a startling brilliance once again.

He applied a slight pressure with his arm.

An indisputable and powerful force transmitted from the wrist.

Yoona's body was uncontrollably pulled toward him.

"Don't!"

The Agent let out a scream, trying to block the space between the two.

But Lin Feng just gave a light nudge with his shoulder, knocking her aside.

He bypassed the final obstacle.

Amidst everyone's gasps.

Under the Agent's murderous gaze.

He opened his arms and directly pulled the still-dazed girl into a tight embrace.

His solid chest, carrying a hint of post-exercise sweat and the morning chill, completely enveloped Yoona.

That powerful heartbeat, through the thin clothing, thudded rhythmically and forcefully against her ear.

At this moment, all the noise seemed to drift far away from her.

Just as her mind went blank and she was at a loss.

Lin Feng's deep, slightly raspy voice, which was filled with an unprecedented power, echoed in her ear.

The voice was very soft, so soft that only she, pressed against his chest, could hear it.

"Don't go."

"Stay."

Those four short words, like a warm current, instantly rushed into Yoona's frozen heart.

Her body began to tremble slightly in his arms.

Her eyes grew uncontrollably hot.

Lin Feng held her even tighter.

His chin rested gently on the top of her head.

He continued to declare word by word in that voice only the two of them could hear.

"Watch me win this war for you."

War!

Not a game, but a war!

These words, like a real electric current, struck the deepest part of Yoona's soul.

She could no longer control herself.

The grievances, fears, anxieties, and longings accumulated over countless days completely burst through the floodgates at this moment.

"Uuu..."

A suppressed sob escaped her throat.

Tears, like pearls from a broken string, poured out frantically, instantly soaking the front of Lin Feng's shirt.

Her hands, which had been hanging stiffly at her sides, suddenly reached up and tightly gripped the clothes on Lin Feng's back.

Lin Feng could feel her trembling and her scalding tears.

He didn't stop.

He knew this wasn't enough.

What he wanted wasn't her tears, but her heart.

The heart that resonated with his and would never again be shaken by any external factors!

"You are my starting point."

"And please, be the witness to my ascent to the top."

This incredibly sincere yet domineering confession was like the final straw, completely breaking down all of Yoona's inner defenses.

To hell with the company's ban.

To hell with the Agent's warnings.

To hell with the rumors and gossip from the outside world.

At this moment, she threw it all to the back of her mind.

She gave up all struggle.

The hands gripping his clothes turned into an embrace with all her strength.

She buried her face deep into his solid chest and began to cry out loud.

That crying was no longer the suppressed and desperate sobbing from last night's phone call.

Instead, it was full of release and the peace of mind that comes from finding someone to lean on.

She finally understood.

What she feared was never those news reports or the finger-pointing.

What she feared was that in his magnificent life, she was just an insignificant supporting character who could be discarded at any time.

But now, he had come.

He had come regardless of the consequences.

He told her she was his starting point.

He told her he was going to win this war for her.

What he needed wasn't a princess hiding behind him to be protected.

But a woman who could stand by his side and witness his ascent to the top!

The moment Yoona hugged him back.

The instant she gave him all her trust and her future without reservation.

Lin Feng felt the entire world go quiet.

The gasps of the surrounding travelers.

The Agent's hysterical shouting.

Those frantically flashing lights.

Everything disappeared.

He could clearly feel every heartbeat of the girl in his arms.

The frequency of that heartbeat was, in an incredible way, overlapping and merging with his own.

Thump.

Thump-thump.

Thump... thump... thump... Finally, the heartbeats of the two people reached a flawless, completely synchronized frequency!

Like two strings tuned to the same pitch, they produced the most harmonious resonance at this moment!

And it was at this very time.

That cold, long-awaited system notification sounded like a revelation in Lin Feng's mind!

[Detected that the emotional connection between the host and the ss-rank charm target 'Yoona' has reached its peak!]

[Mental Field Synchronization Rate 100%!]

[Congratulations to the host for achieving the 'Soul Resonance' state with the target!]

It's done!

Lin Feng's chest heaved violently.

He slowly released the embrace.

He looked at the girl before him, whose face was covered in tears like a pear blossom in the rain, yet whose eyes were startlingly bright.

He reached out and gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks.

Then, he didn't say another word.

Lin Feng took Yoona's hand, no longer paying attention to her Agent or anything else around them, and turned to leave the airport without looking back amidst the frantic clicking of shutters from the reporters who had rushed over upon hearing the news.
