188: Chapter 188 The Redness Behind the Ears

She was like duckweed drifting with the wind in this dream.

Where fate took her, she would be there.

After hearing Ye Qingqing's words, Huo Siyan fell into a long silence.

But Ye Qingqing didn't think much of it.

The cigarette between his fingers, glowing and dimming, had already been his third one.

Just as Ye Qingqing was about to light the fourth, Huo Siyan suddenly grabbed her hand.

"Qingqing..."

Before the self-mocking smile could fully form at the corner of Ye Qingqing's mouth, Huo Siyan pulled her by the wrist and hugged her tightly in his arms.

"I'm sorry..."

"If I had met you earlier in your previous life, it wouldn't have..."

Huo Siyan's entire body was trembling.

He was beginning to understand.

Understood why, from the very beginning when he met Ye Qingqing, he felt this girl exuded an aura that kept people at a distance.

And also understood why Ye Qingqing, despite being in the prime of her youth, seemed listless and gloomy all day.

He suddenly felt so useless.

He wanted to protect Ye Qingqing himself, but in the end, he realized he seemed incapable of doing anything.

For a moment, Huo Siyan fell into self-doubt.

When Ye Qingqing was held in Huo Siyan's embrace, she suddenly felt her mind go blank.

She had imagined all possible outcomes, but she never expected Huo Siyan to react like this.

Moreover, Huo Siyan's body was still trembling.

Ye Qingqing was still wearing the red backless dress she had changed into at the Viper Base.

At this moment, the glistening little pearls on Huo Siyan's face were dropping one by one onto Ye Qingqing's back.

They flowed down from her shoulder blades, following her spine all the way down.

Ye Qingqing felt her back burning, her body stiffened, and she didn't dare move.

Just as Ye Qingqing was feeling at a loss, Ah Huang barked loudly.

"Woof woof woof!"

Ah Huang felt wronged, why!!!

Ah Huang's inner monologue: Why isn't Ah Huang in this story!!! Where did Ah Huang go!!!

Ah Huang was extremely dissatisfied.

Why on earth is this happening!!!

Seeing Ah Huang like this, Ye Qingqing suddenly laughed.

Her previously stiff body was loosened up by Ah Huang's antics.

However, now it was Huo Siyan who was left feeling awkward.

Huo Siyan held Ye Qingqing, unsure whether to let go or continue holding her stiffly.

He didn't know why, but a wave of embarrassment suddenly surged up from the soles of his feet.

And the culprit for all this was Ah Huang!

"Qingqing..."

And now, the culprit was still barking at him chaotically.

Huo Siyan suddenly felt intensely awkward.

Ye Qingqing, on the other hand, was amused.

Tears of laughter even welled up in the corners of her eyes.

When she looked at Huo Siyan, Ye Qingqing laughed even louder.

"Hahahaha, this is hilarious, Huo Siyan, I never thought..."

"Hahahahaha."

Huo Siyan looked at Ye Qingqing, suddenly feeling his pride wounded.

He turned his head away very tsundere-like.

"Alright, alright, fine, fine."

"Keep laughing."

Seeing Huo Siyan with his arms crossed and a very displeased expression, Ye Qingqing suddenly realized the joke had gone too far.

Now Huo Siyan was genuinely angry.

She had only wanted to lighten the mood, but she never expected it to turn out like this.

Ye Qingqing immediately held back her laughter, but the curve at the corner of her mouth just wouldn't go away.

"Huo Siyan."

"Thank you."

Looking at Huo Siyan before her, in that moment, she felt that this person seemed, truly, very good.

Even many years later, when Huo Siyan pinched Ye Qingqing's waist and asked her when she had decided she could marry him.

The only scene that appeared in Ye Qingqing's mind was today's.

Outside the door at this moment, Kong Ziyi, while hiccuping, knocked on Ye Qingqing and Huo Siyan's door.

Although Kong Ziyi felt that disturbing Ye Qingqing and Huo Siyan might end badly for him.

However, under the power of Mo Wangchuan's admiring gaze, Kong Ziyi gradually started to get carried away.

Feeling that he could do it, that he was capable.

So, while deliberately pretending it was a piece of cake, he knocked on the door with trembling hands.

Even the hiccup in his mouth was from nervousness.

"B-boss, there's someone outside the RV."

Huo Siyan, who had just been looking at the tears misting Ye Qingqing's eyes, was starting to feel he might have gone a bit overboard.

So when Kong Ziyi knocked, Huo Siyan felt like he had found a lifesaver.

As Huo Siyan went out the door, he wiped the almost-dried tears from the corners of his eyes.

When passing Kong Ziyi, he even patted his shoulder, signaling he had done well.

After this incident, colorful smoke bombs instantly exploded in Kong Ziyi's mind.

So, he could be tough too...

When Ye Qingqing passed by Kong Ziyi, she even smiled at him.

Kong Ziyi felt even happier.

Mo Wangchuan, standing to the side, looked at Kong Ziyi with even more admiration in his eyes.

To the point where Kong Ziyi felt he could even conquer Ah Huang.

He directly slapped Ah Huang on the head.

In his tone, he even felt he was very familiar with Ah Huang.

"Ah Huang, ah, big brother will give you..."

Before Kong Ziyi could finish his sentence, Ah Huang turned its head and bit him.

And proceeded to bark at Kong Ziyi for a good while.

Ah Huang was already feeling very angry inside; just now in the room, neither Ye Qingqing nor Huo Siyan paid any attention to it.

It looked like Ye Qingqing and Huo Siyan were about to start laughing.

But then they were interrupted by this idiot Kong Ziyi.

Originally, Ah Huang wanted to take this chance to get some loving pets from Ye Qingqing.

Who would have thought... it was all ruined by this bastard Kong Ziyi!

Moreover, when Ah Huang went outside, this guy even gave it a heavy slap on the head.

Ah Huang was furious; it hated humans with no sense of boundaries!!!

But Kong Ziyi was unaware of all this; at this moment, Kong Ziyi only felt extremely wronged inside.

Why was he, perfectly fine, bitten by Ah Huang?

Although Ah Huang held back its strength and didn't break Kong Ziyi's skin, not even a drop of blood appeared.

But Kong Ziyi still felt wronged.

Seeing this, Mo Wangchuan immediately grabbed Kong Ziyi's hand, looking at it left and right.

As if inspecting some rare treasure.

Kong Ziyi's skin was very fair, the skin on his hands even fairer.

Although the sun was harsh now, Kong Ziyi seemed naturally incapable of tanning, his skin tender and delicate.

There weren't even pores on his hands, let alone hair.

Mo Wangchuan even used his ability to check Kong Ziyi inside and out after confirming he wasn't injured.

However, when Mo Wangchuan withdrew his hand, his earlobes had turned completely red.

Scaring Kong Ziyi into thinking something was wrong with him.

"Mo Wangchuan!"

"What's wrong with me!"

"Am I okay!"

"Just say it!"

Mo Wangchuan looked at Kong Ziyi, not speaking, just staring at him blankly.

But the redness on Mo Wangchuan's earlobes had spread to his face...
