Love is as vast as the Milky Way, impossible to cross.

Caught off guard, Liu Shiyin turned around. In that instant, the medical kit slipped from her hand, making a jarring sound in the quiet night.

"Ah, no!"

Liu Shiyin covered her ears with both hands and gasped softly, her voice filled with deep fear and pain. Her face turned pale instantly, and a flicker of panic crossed her eyes.

Before Huo Muchen could react, he felt a soft body suddenly rush into his arms and hug him tightly.

He looked down and saw Liu Shiyin's small body trembling violently in his arms, as if she had been greatly frightened.

Although Huo Muchen didn't understand what had happened, he still hugged Liu Shiyin tightly the moment she rushed towards him, trying to comfort her with his embrace.

He gently stroked her hair, soothingly saying:

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Liu Shiyin gradually calmed down in his arms, but her body was still trembling slightly. She closed her eyes, and her mind couldn't help but recall the time she spent in prison with her sentence extended for three years.

During that period, she was always bullied and beaten for various reasons, and all of this often happened in the dead of night. Any sound at midnight was terrifying to her, as if it could trigger the deepest nightmares in her heart.

Huo Muchen felt the tension in Liu Shiyin's body, and his tenderness deepened. He gently patted her back, his voice soft and deep:

"Don't be afraid, it's just that something fell on the ground, it's okay."

His voice seemed to possess a magical power, gradually soothing Liu Shiyin's emotions, and tears involuntarily streamed down her face. She looked up at Huo Muchen, her eyes blurry with tears, her voice trembling slightly:

"Thank you, and thank you very much for what happened this afternoon. But I..."

Liu Shiyin hesitated, her eyes filled with helplessness and sorrow, her brows furrowed as if bearing endless pain and struggle.

Those unspoken words, like tightly sealed secrets, are hidden in the deepest recesses of the heart, not easily revealed to others.

Huo Muchen looked at her, a surge of indescribable emotion welling up inside him. He sensed her inner conflict and struggle, and saw the tears glistening in her eyes.

Those silent tears seemed to tell one sad story after another, touching the depths of his heart.

He could no longer bear the silence and oppression, so he leaned forward and gently kissed her still trembling lips.

His kiss was gentle and affectionate, like a spring breeze rippling across a lake. His tongue gently pried open her teeth, exploring them and sharing the sweetness and warmth of the moment with her.

At this moment, Liu Shiyin seemed to be frozen in place by the sudden kiss, her whole body stunned and without any movement or reaction.

Her heart was pounding in her ears, like a frantic drumbeat, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

"Mr. Huo..."

Taking advantage of the opening, Liu Shiyin spoke softly, her voice trembling slightly.

Hearing Liu Shiyin's voice, Huo Muchen instantly regained his composure. He realized that his actions might have been abrupt, and might even have frightened her. He held her tightly in his arms, wanting to soothe her with his embrace.

"I'm sorry, did I scare you?"

Huo Muchen's voice carried a hint of regret and self-reproach. He knew he should respect Liu Shiyin's feelings instead of acting impulsively.

Liu Shiyin nestled in his arms, silent, as if time had stood still. After a long while, Liu Shiyin spoke.

"I want to go back and rest,"

Liu Shiyin gently broke free from Huo Muchen's embrace. Although her heart was filled with longing and reluctance to leave Huo Muchen's embrace, she knew that some beautiful things were destined to be only briefly possessed.

Huo Muchen nodded gently. He gazed at Liu Shiyin quietly. Her face had returned to calm, as if the previous emotional fluctuations were just a brief breeze that dissipated after a gentle touch.

Just as Liu Shiyin bent down to pick up the medical kit from the ground, Huo Muchen reached out and gently pulled her arm.

"Never mind that, go and rest."

Huo Muchen's voice was slightly hoarse, and his eyes revealed deep concern and doting affection.

Liu Shiyin was slightly taken aback, and then nodded gently.
