279: Yearn for Warmth

Yearn for Warmth

Qin Yi squinted her phoenix eyes, feeling that the matter was not as simple as it was, even as a lingering uneasiness surfaced in her heart.2

"Xiao Lan, are there people at the back?" Qin Yi asked.

Inside the Origin Space, Xiao Lan swept the back with its Divine sense and replied, "Yiyi, there's a person behind."

"Only one?" Qin Yi asked.

Xiao Lan replied with certainty, "Yes, only one."

Qin Yi squinted. There was only one person behind, so did she overthink it?

"You, walk in front." 

Upon thinking about it, Qin Yi decided to take a cautious approach and ordered Xu Ning to move ahead.

Xu Ning's eyes flashed as he staggered his way forward and brought them to find Wei Liao.

Qin Yi had long realized Wei Liao's abnormality. He was a youth with an extremely clean look in his eyes inside a bandit stronghold and often saw him giving her pitiful looks. At that point in time, she had long remembered him.

After encountering Qin Hanyu, she immediately realized that Wei Liao was someone that had followed Qin Hanyu over. The youth was kind to her, and although it was only a few days, he had done his best to take care of her.

She was too kind a person in her previous life. In this life, she thought only of treating her own people well. Wei Liao gave her warmth, so she wanted to save him too.

Yun Huan pulled Qin Yi's hands. He saw the worry in her eyes and caressed her head. Yun Huan's low voice caused her to feel more assured.

"Don't worry, he will be fine, Xu Ning won't dare to touch him."

After interacting over the few months, Yun Huan understood Qin Yi very well. Qin Yi appeared to be extremely cold and emotionless, but was actually softer than anyone else could ever be. As long as one treated her well, she would repay that a hundred fold.

Wei Liao must have either helped her or was a very warm person.

Who knew what the brat had experienced before, Yun Huan was able to sense that she yearned for warmth and could not resist against anything that gave her even a little bit of it. That was a basic instinct that only the dirtiest of men that had lived their life in darkness would have, but the brat was 16-years-old, so not even an adult, but still had such a strong yearning for warmth.

She would grasp at any little bit of warmth she could, as though lacking a sense of security. This caused Yun Huan to feel extremely heartbroken, but he had never asked Qin Yi about her past. It was at this time that he suddenly felt like knowing everything.

Qin Yi accidentally came across Yun Huan's worrying eyes, which were filled with pity, and felt warmth spread throughout her heart. A sweet and sour feeling surfaced in her heart, one that she could not describe.

But, it did feel warm.

Qin Yi tightened her hands as she relaxed the rest of her body and revealed a smile. "En."

Emotions passed between their eyes without a single word being spoken.

Lin Qing watched this until his teeth got sour. He went to hug Lin Bai and whined, "No, no, no! I'm going to get soured to death by Boss. Why don't I have a younger brother? Come Big Bai, let your older brother love you."

Lin Bai chuckled and pushed Lin Qing to one side, his fox eyes warm as he stated, "Please, don't get it wrong Fox. I'm your older brother."

Lin Qing looked at Lin Bai unhappily, his face appearing aggrieved. He continued to complain that his younger brother was no longer adorable.

Chu Mohe and Du Ruan were following behind Qin Yi and Yun Huan. They started chuckling when they saw how the duo was acting.

No one noticed Chuchu behind them with a gloomy look on her face. Her red phoenix eyes seemed to spew out poison, terrifying and sinister.

She felt that Xu Ning was useless. She had created such a good setting for him but he did not kill the bastard. She felt that he was truly trash. She had even wasted a precious medicinal pill to increase his abilities.
