Huo ran hugged her head, feeling as if her brain was going to explode at any moment.
âRanran.â
Suddenly, Huo Chenâs voice drifted into her ears, and she was enveloped in a gentle embrace.
Huo ranâs face turned pale as she recalled the gentle yet emotionless smile on Yan Sinianâs face before he jumped.
Her heart felt as if it was being clenched by a large hand, and even her breathing was painful.
âBrother ...â Huo ran raised her head. Her eyes were filled with confusion and pain.âI donât know ...â
He didnât know what was wrong with him.
As a bystander, Huo Chen knew what was wrong with her.
After getting to know his sister over the past few days, he knew that she was a person who was lacking in emotional aspects.
From a young age, she had been instilled with the concepts of calm, stubbornness, and the ambition to achieve her goals at all costs.
In the past, she was like a cold-blooded robot.
Later on, she was slowly changing and growing.
However, she had never touched or experienced love before. She even seemed to be a little repulsed by it.
......
She insisted on her so-called âdead-endâ and couldnât get out of the circle she had set in the past.
Stubbornness was an advantage, but at times, it was also a weakness that could not be ignored.
Only when she had personally experienced the thousands of emotions brought about by love and the real pain could she open up her emotional aperture.
She had already tasted it now.
However, there was still a thin layer of window paper waiting for someone to help her break it.
âI know,â Huo Chen ruffled her hair. His pleasant voice had a calming magic to it. âYouâre feeling guilty.â
âGuilty?â Huo ran was stunned.
âYes.â
Huo Chenâs tone was firm. He knew that it was impossible for his sister to be with Yan Sinian.
Since that was the case, he had to reduce the damage to the minimum.
When she realized it one day, she might have already gotten over it.
âYan Sinian has helped you so much, but you didnât even give him a chance to pursue you. Youâre so heartless.â
ââ¦â¦â
Huo ran bit her lip.
Was that really the case?
âTrust me,â
As a commander, Huo Chen knew how to boost the morale of his soldiers.
Once he was serious, every word he said had a kind of magic, with a little temptation like when the Queen coaxed Snow White to eat the poisoned apple.
âIf Yan Sinian ever gets into any trouble in the future, letâs give him a hand so that you wonât be so sad anymore.â
âReally?â Huo ran was skeptical.
âOf course.â Huo Chen smiled and said gently,âbelieve in brother Chen and you will live forever.â
âAlright ...â
Huo ran nodded. A certain thought that was about to come out of her mind seemed to have been slapped back by a palm.
She recalled how well Yan Sinian had treated her in the past and how she had rejected him several times. The guilt in her heart suppressed all other emotions.
âIf Yan Sinian needs my help one day, Iâll definitely do it!â
Huo Chen sighed in his heart and replied,âyes, thatâs good.â
He had already missed the right time to intervene.
At the very least, he had to protect his sister from harm.
âTake a bath and have a good sleep.â
âOkay, good night.â
Huo ran nodded and went back to her bedroom. She took a bath in the bathtub to relax her muscles and mind, and deliberately did not think about anything else.
Half an hour later, she wrapped herself in a bath towel and went to bed, trying to fall asleep.
However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldnât fall asleep. The empty space in the bottom of her heart kept reminding her ...
Yan Sinian had already cut off all ties with her.
