That face was very clean and serious, as if he had something very important to say to himself.

Hu Liena didn't know what he wanted to say, but she was extremely looking forward to what he said.

Why do you expect so much?

Hu Liena didn't understand. Logically speaking, she should hate him.

People like him should stay away from each other, right?

Yan, who has been trying to please himself in every possible way, has never even touched his own hands.

And what about this person in front of him?

Not only did he take advantage of it, but he also teased himself so hard that he couldn't hold back the torrent of water, and he was embarrassed in front of everyone.

How hateful such people are.

Then why do I have expectations for what he has to say?

Hu Liena remembered the look in his eyes.

His eyes were as clean as a pool of lake water but full of guilt.

From childhood to adulthood, Hu Liena has seen many kinds of looks, either jealous, greedy, or lustful.

She had lived with these looks since she was a child, so much so that when she was scolded by some women passing by because of this look, Hu Liena remained indifferent.

When meeting uncles, aunts, or boys and girls on the road, the men will always look at themselves up and down with obsessed and greedy eyes, while the women will glare at themselves viciously and curse at themselves for being such a vixen.

In fact, Hu Liena could have revealed her soul ring. Knowing that she was a soul master, they would naturally kneel down and kowtow to apologize.

But Hu Liena was already used to it, used to living among these strange looks, and was too lazy to care about it at all.

It's like the world is like this originally, and it's full of dirty and uncomfortable looks, so what's there to care about?

So Hu Liena stopped caring about what others think of her a long time ago.

My martial soul is just like this, full of charm. What does your greed or jealousy have to do with me?

But now she suddenly realized that someone's eyes were not like this, and the world was not like this.

People in this world look at themselves with other eyes besides greed and jealousy.

Clarity and guilt.

This is what Qi Ce's eyes, who were only a few inches away from Hu Liena, told Hu Liena.

His gaze was very different from any gaze Hu Liena had ever felt. There was no greed out of lust, nor was there any insanity in looking up and down.

The gaze was like a puddle of water, so clear that you could see fish swimming in it.

In addition to the water-like cleanliness, there is also guilt.

The real feeling of guilt is not the guilt that comes from pretending or simply doing something wrong to make yourself feel better.

That is truly empathizing with oneself, and then being filled with guilt.

Hu Liena didn't understand why Qi Ce had such a look, which she had never seen before.

For a moment, she forgot her embarrassment, her own shame, and her disgust at Zize's scolding.

Her mind went blank, she just wanted to look closely at that look that she had never seen before, and she also wanted to be looked at by that look all the time.

When Qize saw him approaching Hu Liena, he did not resist. Instead, his body moved forward consciously, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He slowly moved his mouth to Hu Liena's ear and said softly, "I'm sorry, Nana."

Hu Liena's mind went blank. She couldn't even remember why Qi Ce apologized to her, and she didn't make any answer at all.

Qi Ce, who didn't receive an answer, was also confused. He originally thought that Hu Liena didn't approach him because he had a very good impression of him, so he launched his special skill, turned a deaf ear and apologized to Hu Liena.

After all, Qi Ce has always felt that talking in a girl's ear is the most effective way.

Because talking in the ear often brings hot air, which makes the physiological hormones surge, and the brain cannot maintain rational thinking.

If you say something in this situation, girls will vaguely agree.

But obviously, Qi Ce's trick failed this time.

Hu Liena didn't react at all. Instead, she kept staring at Qi Ce's face extremely stubbornly, like a face recognition machine.

Qi Ce felt that it was a bit strange. Logically speaking, Hu Liena should have vented her anger with some grievances and continued to coax her. Why did she look so sluggish now?

"Am I hurt too deeply?" Qi Ce was suddenly startled, feeling that he might have gone too far and turned Hu Liena from the extremely arrogant Saint of Wuhun Palace into a person who made a fool of herself in public. The huge gap caused Hu Liena's psychological collapse, and she now looks like this.

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. If it was because of himself that he made Hu Liena look silly, let alone someone else, Qi Ce himself would feel sorry for himself.

Qi Ce suddenly opened his hands and hugged Hu Liena tightly into his arms amidst the surprised sounds of Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong.

At this time, Hu Liena was also startled by Qi Ce's sudden hug. She no longer searched Qi Ce's face with dull eyes, but looked around with a somewhat panicked and at a loss.

She didn't know whether she should push Qi Ce away and struggle out of his arms.

Logically speaking, it is necessary.

After all, he was embarrassing himself so much.

But for some reason, this sudden embrace gave Hu Liena an unusually warm feeling, as if the little girl who had been wronged outside had finally returned to her campfire.

And Qi Ce's embrace is this burning bonfire.

In his arms, Hu Liena no longer had so much hesitation, no longer so much shame and embarrassment, and all she could feel was warmth.

It's like the warmth of a burning bonfire, which makes people want to be greedy for this warmth forever.

The hands behind her were also giving Hu Liena the warmth of a bonfire.

Unconsciously, Hu Liena also carefully placed her little hands behind Qi Ce, as if she wanted to grasp the straw of drowning.

"Don't be afraid." Qize said again after hugging Hu Liena tightly.

He was actually betting that Hu Liena would not resist contact with him.

After all, if Hu Liena was disgusted with herself, she would never allow herself to hold her so tightly and even put her hand on her back.

Fortunately, Qi Ce won the bet.

Hu Liena did not resist contact with herself.

At this time, she had stopped crying and was being held quietly by Qi Ce, just like a little fox keeping warm by the campfire.

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong next to them had a strange look in their eyes. They looked at each other and guessed what the other was thinking, "Is there another sister?"

The two of them unexpectedly thought in unison at this time.
