56 The Fatherless Children (1/2)

”Don't cry. I told you that I'd find you.”

Mo Wen carried Qin Xiaoyou out of the big net and wiped the tears off the corners of her eyes tenderly and affectionately. If he didn't ask Qin Xiaoyou to go up the mountain, she wouldn't have had to suffer such a shock.

After Mo Wen said that, Qin Xiaoyou cried even more sorrowfully. She leaned forward into Mo Wen's arms, crying her heart out, and refused to budge.

”Where did you go just now? I was so afraid.”

Qin Xiaoyu pinched Mo Wen's waist grudgingly. He knew that she had fallen off the cliff, yet didn't stay by her side.

”Erm, I just visited a senior.”

Mo Wen smiled awkwardly. He wondered what Qin Xiaoyou would think if she knew that he came down last night but had left her here all this while.

”Visited a senior?”

Qin Xiaoyu lifted her head in astonishment, blinked her eyes with teardrops still dangling on her long eyelashes.

It was a desolate cave; which senior he would have visited?

”That senior died many years ago, but he was a capable senior.” Mo Wen smiled, as he could not explain clearly to Qin Xiaoyou about Ming Cult matters in such a short amount of time.

”Hmph, liar.”

Qin Xiaoyu snorted lightly as she thought that Mo Wen was trying to find an excuse. However, this excuse was just too ridiculous that anyone would think that it was fake and he was treating her like a fool.

Was he really treating me like a fool? As she thought of it, Qin Xiaoyu pinched Mo Wen's waist again resentfully.

”You are so wild. I wonder if you will ever get married in the future.”

Mo Wen gave a wry smile and patted Qin Xiaoyou's head.

”Who's wild here? Mind your own business. I am not marrying you anyway so it's none of your concern.”

Qin Xiaoyu snorted softly, turning her head to the other side, not wanting to see Mo Wen at all.

”Sounds like I will marry you if you want to marry me,” Mo Wen said while rolling his eyes.

”Go away, and stay a hundred miles away from me.”

Qin Xiaoyu was so angry that she glared at Mo Wen fiercely. Although she said this, her body was still lying on Mo Wen's with no intention to move at all.

”Then you better get up first,” Mo Wen said with a faint smile.

Qin Xiaoyou wrapped her arms around Mo Wen's waist, buried her head in his chest, and denied this shamelessly.

”That has nothing to do with me.”

Mo Wen laughed and embraced Qin Xiaoyu in his arms benevolently.

Life was sometimes wonderful. Just a few months ago, Qin Xiaoyou was like a goddess beyond his reach. She was someone whom he could only secretly like but would never confess to. He would be content to be able to maintain a normal friendship with her.

However, a few months later, he could embrace his goddess in his arms; in fact, she was the one who insisted on lying in his arms.

In the past, if anyone were to tell him that such a scenario would happen, he would surely think it was fake.

After a while, Qin Xiaoyou lifted her head slightly and asked gently with a sense of loss flashing across her eyes, ”Mo Wen, do you believe that there are kind people who take pleasure in helping others in this world?
