The Silent Guardian: Huo Zirui's Secret
Huo Zirui felt his ears growing warm, grateful that the darkness concealed his embarrassment. He shifted uncomfortably before replying, "There's no reason, I just do."
Fu Bao blinked, finding his response rather odd.
Well, that was certainly a reason that left her speechless.
As the evening breeze gently rustled through the air, a sense of drowsiness washed over Fu Bao. Today's events had left her drained, and she found herself struggling to keep her eyes open. Huo Zirui, sensing her fatigue, leaned in closer, offering his shoulder as a pillow.
Without much thought, Fu Bao rested her head against him and closed her eyes. Despite not being familiar with him, she felt strangely at ease with him beside her.
The Li boys watched this scene with growing unease, unable to shake the feeling of discontent. But they dared not protest, fearing they might disturb Fu Bao.
