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

"Is it Qin Xiang?"

Huo Muchen lifted Liu Shiyin's face, looked into her eyes, and asked softly.

Liu Shiyin gently shook her head, her eyes revealing a deep weariness and helplessness, as if her world had been shrouded in endless darkness. This sense of powerlessness, this silence born of too much suffering, made Huo Muchen's heart feel as if it were being slashed by a sharp blade, causing him unbearable pain.

Huo Muchen frowned, his anger surging in his chest like a raging beast, ready to break free of its restraints and wreak havoc on everything.

But seeing Liu Shiyin looking tired and heartbroken, he didn't ask any more questions. He simply pulled her into his arms and let her frail body rest completely against him.

He felt her body trembling slightly; it was fear and helplessness.

Huo Muchen held her tightly, his eyes filled with anger, an anger like a raging flame that illuminated the deep darkness in his eyes.

He thought to himself that he had to make those who hurt her pay the price.

"Shall I take you to the hospital?"

When the coldness in his eyes faded, only warmth and sincerity remained, like a deep mountain shrouded in gloom that had cleared away and become clear and bright.

"don't want,"

Without even thinking, Liu Shiyin gently shook her head and refused:

"But your wound needs to be treated, otherwise it will get infected. Can I apply some ointment for you?"

Huo Muchen continued patiently, his tone both indulgent and worried.

Liu Shiyin hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Seeing Liu Shiyin nod in agreement, Huo Muchen breathed a sigh of relief. This time, he didn't let Liu Shiyin walk behind him, but gently took her hand. His large hand enveloped her small hand, and that tenderness and warmth seemed to reach her heart.

Liu Shiyin felt her heart race. This was the first time a man had held her hand. She looked up at Huo Muchen and saw that his gaze was gentle yet firm. Liu Shiyin lowered her head and let Huo Muchen lead her. The two walked side by side towards the shore.

Once inside the car, Huo Muchen reached out and gently grasped one end of the seatbelt, then carefully wrapped it around her body and gently tightened it.

Liu Shiyin sensed his approach. She turned her head slightly to look at Huo Muchen. The seatbelt was slowly tightening in Huo Muchen's hand. He carefully adjusted it to ensure that it was neither too tight nor too loose.

His fingers inadvertently touched her skin, a sensation that made her heart race and her cheeks flush slightly.

Even after the seatbelt was fastened, Huo Muchen's gaze remained fixed on her face. Their eyes met at that moment, and this ambiguous instant seemed to freeze time, blurring everything around them.

The distance between them seemed to have shortened considerably, and an indescribable sweetness and warmth filled the air.

Huo Muchen chuckled softly, gently ruffled Liu Shiyin's hair, and then focused on driving.

Looking at the winding and unknown road ahead, Liu Shiyin felt a sense of unease.

Her voice trembled slightly.

"I don't want to go back to the Huo residence right now."

Upon hearing this, Huo Muchen turned his head, his gaze gently falling on her slightly frightened face.

"Don't worry, we won't go back to the Huo residence for now. Don't think about anything, just rest for a while."

His voice was gentle yet firm, seemingly possessing a calming power. Under his soothing influence, Liu Shiyin's emotions gradually calmed down; she nodded gently and closed her eyes.

Huo Muchen focused on driving, occasionally turning his head to look at Liu Shiyin sleeping beside him.
