Only after he experienced it did he realize how hurtful being ignored was.
The powerful Capital Base was experiencing a sudden plague, which caused the citizens to become disheartened. They were in a panic.
One illness almost destroyed the base.
Capital Base was in unrest, while Imperial Base was like an utopia, calm and peaceful, as though there was not a trace of smoke.
Qin Yi recalled the blooming pink flowers when she left the base. Who would have thought that the flowers would still grow well, with their verdant and beautiful colors that resembled a bashful youth?
But with autumn approaching, a single blow of the wind would cause countless petals to float down. The fluttering petals fell into her book.
She had yet to flip a page after half a day. If one observed closely, they would discover that her crystal-clear phoenix eyes were in a daze. Qin Yi was in deep thought.
Yun Huan observed Qin Yi under the rain of petals for a long time. The beautiful lady was dressed in white with lace around her. Her dress had silver maple leaves embroidered onto it, which rustled beautifully when the wind blew.
Qin Yi used a white band to tie back her silky hair. The white and pink were a perfect contrast and made her look like a fairy that had descended from heaven.
But this perfect person belonged to him, and him alone.
Upon thinking about that, Yun Huan's mood was alleviated.
"What are you looking at?" Yun Huan walked over and used his hand to caress Qin Yi's hair as his peach blossom eyes became filled with emotions.
Qin Yi blinked and closed her book. She handed a teacup over to Yun Huan.
"Nothing much, just found a book to read. Right, Lin Bai was looking for you urgently. Did something happen?"
Lin Bai came over early in the morning with a rarely seen urgency, waiting for Yun Huan to return.
Yun Huan did not reply to her, carrying her up and sitting on a tatami while placing her on his thigh.
Qin Yi touched his face and frowned gently, "Is he here?"
Yun Huan shook his head and hugged Qin Yi. Qin Yi's temperature remained low despite the weather but hugging her felt extremely comfortable.
Yun Huan greedily took in Qin Yi's fragrance and asked, "Qiqi, do you want to visit my birthplace?"
"Go to Capital Base?"
Yun Huan's birthplace was at Capital Base. But why did he suddenly want to return to a place which was only filled with nightmares for him?
Unless…
Qin Yi's phoenix eyes flashed. She reached out and touched his head, "You want to go back home? If you want to, I'll definitely follow you."
The young Yun Huan must have been adorable. The young and cute him, with a straight, arrogant, and lovable face. He must have made plenty of others jealous.
Yun Huan laughed and the ice-cold aura around him dissipated. He was as bright as a multitude of stars, and even Qin Yi was stunned by the sight.
He kissed Qin Yi on the lips and replied, "Chen Che just informed us that something has happened in Capital Base. For some reason, many people have caught some flu and died. But that's not the reason for my return. Grandfather Chen is sick, so I want to make a visit."
Yun Huan continued, "Grandfather Chen treated me very well, and he was the one who took care of me growing up. To me, he is my real grandfather.. That is the reason why I have to return."
