Huo Wu had forgotten about everything around her. All the chaotic noises around her faded like a receding tide; it seemed as if she had fallen into a void.
In this void, there was no one else besides the person in front of her and herself.
She wrapped her arms around his waist firmly and hugged him like he was her world.
The hands that were wrapped around Huo Yusen’s waist were white and lustrous like gems. Huo Wu’s hands were like a flawless piece of the finest jade in the world. Huo Yusen was stunned by her action momentarily before he placed his hand on her arm.
He patted the back of her hand gently and his voice softened as he said, “A’Wu?”
Huo Wu let out a soft ‘mhm’, but her voice sounded like it was on the verge of breaking.
She clearly told Yu Xinxin that she didn’t want or need to cry. But after meeting Huo Yusen shortly after the incident, her nose felt sour and tears pricked the corners of her eyes without any reason. In an instant, crystal droplets of tears slowly overflowed the corners of her eyes.
She didn’t feel like crying after the incident because she forgot how to cry, and the hooligans didn’t really do anything to her. So why did she feel this overflowing sense of loneliness and grievance bubbling up in her heart when she got close to him?
The grievance in her heart seemed to have magnified numerous times in mere seconds, suffocating her heart until she could no longer breathe. She couldn’t help but let out a soft but uncontrollable sob.
Huo Yusen realized that something was wrong when he heard her sobbing behind her back. He turned around immediately and gently lifted up Huo Wu’s chin with his hand. Their eyes finally met.
Huo Wu’s skin was as white as a snowflake, the rim of her eyes were red from crying. Even her nose was red; she looked like a pitiful yet cute little bunny.
Huo Yusen almost forgot to breathe when he saw the tears falling from the corner of her eyes.
“A’Wu, what’s wrong?”
Huo Yusen used his thumb to gently wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes. His thumb was a little rough, so Huo Wu subconsciously closed her eyes when his hand touched the corner of her eyes.
As soon as she closed her eyes, a string of transparent tears fell from the corner of her eye. The tears were like pearls as droplets of tears fell one by one. Huo Yusen couldn’t wipe all of it because she kept crying.
He cupped her face and asked the question again.
Huo Wu remained silent and broke away from his hold. She suddenly jumped into his embrace, wrapped her arm around his waist, and buried her head firmly on his chest.
She was like a tiny bird that was trying to hide in the safest place she knew.
Huo Yusen frowned and turned to face Yu Xinxin. He asked her, “What happened?”
His tone was a little cold with a hint of anger.
Yu Xinxin had always been a little afraid of Huo Yusen. This was especially true right now due to his cold and indifferent attitude. Yu Xinxin mulled over what she should tell him and just when she was about to speak, someone interrupted her. “There was a hooligan just now that tried to get handsy with her.”
Huo Yusen’s face immediately sank when he heard his words.
He usually acted as a lone flower at the top of a snowy and dangerous mountain. He was aloof and distant in character, so it was hard for people to approach him.
But at this moment, in addition to his usual cold and aloof character, he looked furious.
There was a dangerous aura bubbling around Huo Yusen. He was like a wolf hunting for prey right now.
Mo Ze had never seen Huo Yusen becoming angry before.
