The two of them each occupied a machine before they started to count down. Once the game started, Murong Qiao immediately picked up the basketball beside her and started to throw it into the basket.

She seemed to have been provoked by Huo Yichen’s words just now and didn’t stop moving. On the other hand, Huo Yichen was in a standard shooting posture, throwing one ball out after another, as if he was doing a series of handsome three-pointers on the court.

Huo Yichen exerted strength in his wrist without looking up as though he knew that the ball was going in. However, his mind and gaze were not on the game in front of him.

He looked at Murong Qiao beside him and happened to see the other party’s vexed expression due to misses. He couldn’t help but want to laugh.

The game ended very quickly. In the end, Murong Qiao defeated Huo Yichen with a one-point difference.

“As expected of me.” Murong Qiao raised her eyebrows proudly when she saw that she scored higher than Huo Yichen.

However, before she could immerse herself in the joy of victory for long, she saw other fun games from the corner of her eye.

“Huo Yichen, let’s go play that!”

For the entire afternoon, Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen took the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of the arcade.

From the first basketball game, to the racing car game next to it, to the body-sensory roller coaster and VR games later.

They even went to the claw machine and spent 50 game coins on trying to get a cute corgi doll.

“Is this considered spending a lot of money?” Murong Qiao looked at her empty game token bag and then at the corgi doll that had yet to be picked out of the claw machine and immediately doubted her clawing skills.

Huo Yichen watched the whole process from the side. After hearing Murong Qiao’s questionable words, he suppressed his laughter and comforted Murong Qiao with a serious expression.

“Do you want it so much?” He looked at Murong Qiao, who was fuming, and asked her gently.

Murong Qiao looked at the corgi again.

Maybe she didn’t really want it at the beginning, but now that she couldn’t get it, it had become more like an obsession.

Murong Qiao had a feeling that it would be a loss if she stopped.

She nodded heavily, then threw in two more game coins like a gambler.

The game console started beeping again, announcing the start of the game.

Murong Qiao touched the control stick and looked at the corgi doll at the top. She took a deep breath and stood there without moving.

“Go get it if you want it.” Huo Yichen’s voice rang in her ears.

Then, Murong Qiao felt her hand being held by Huo Yichen as they began to control the claws..

The wobbly claws instantly attracted her attention, so Murong Qiao had no time to care about Huo Yichen, who was almost hugging her.

However, there were no claws in Huo Yichen’s eyes. All he could see was Murong Qiao’s exquisite and beautiful side profile.

In this position, he turned his head slightly to look at Murong Qiao. Her curly eyelashes were so close that from his angle, he could even see the reflection in Murong Qiao’s eyes and her slightly red lips.

Murong Qiao’s voice sounded in his ear, and it tickled his heart, making him feel restless.

Her skin was so fair that Huo Yichen subconsciously wanted to dye it with some color.

Huo Yichen then suddenly retracted his gaze and looked at the doll with extreme restraint. He was afraid that if he continued to look at her, the charm in his mind would overwhelm his rationality.

Under Huo Yichen’s precise control, one end of the claw hooked one of the doll’s ears and managed to bring it out.

Seeing the doll fall into the hole, Huo Yichen let go of Murong Qiao’s hand and leaned over to help her take the doll out of the drawer below.

The dry and warm touch on the back of her hand disappeared and Murong Qiao suddenly felt a little lost.

“You’re so skillful!” Murong Qiao’s eyes sparkled when she got the doll. She then exclaimed as she looked at Huo Yichen with admiration.

Seeing that Murong Qiao was so happy, Huo Yichen’s mood brightened.

“How about a movie for relaxation?” he suggested.

After playing games for the entire afternoon, he was almost exhausted.

“Sure, I remember there was a comedy film recently…”

Hence, the two of them decided to watch a movie and went to the cinema.

After a long day, Huo Yichen was relieved to see Murong Qiao smiling more and more frequently.

As long as she wasn’t unhappy anymore.

“Thank you for accompanying me today.” After the movie ended, Murong Qiao suddenly thanked him.

She didn’t expect to have such a fulfilling and happy day. At the same time, she realized that Huo Yichen was accompanying her to help her calm her emotions.

“Can I ask what made you unhappy?” Huo Yichen’s voice was gentle and didn’t seem offensive at all.

This would lighten the atmosphere between the two of them. Seeing that Murong Qiao had come out of her emotions, Huo Yichen raised his question.

Murong Qiao suddenly stopped and looked up at him, not answering immediately.

She quietly observed Huo Yichen, observing the changes that had been happening to him.

“What about you?” Murong Qiao suddenly asked.

“How did you become the Young Master of the Huo family?” She looked up and stared straight at Huo Yichen.

Murong Qiao had always had this question in her heart, but she didn’t say it to Huo Yichen until today.

“I’m just the product of a mistake my father made when he was young,” Huo Yichen explained softly.

Seeing that Murong Qiao was curious about his experience, Huo Yichen explained a little.

His father was young and had a fling with his mother, resulting in his birth. Later on, he and his mother hid everywhere and temporarily stayed in An City.

“As you can see, at that time, my mother had just passed away. After you left, the Huo family found me and asked me to go back and inherit the family business.”

At this point, Huo Yichen’s lips curled into a mocking smile.

“Of course, he only came to find me because his legitimate son passed away in an accident.” Otherwise, how could Huo Yichen get such a good thing?

However, it was not necessarily a good thing. It wasn’t easy to obtain the Huo family’s assets.

The Huo family’s huge assets were also in high demand in the eyes of many relatives, so they weren’t very friendly to Huo Yichen, who had become the new heir.

Huo Yichen described his life as casually as if it had been an adventure.

However, the danger in the meaning between the lines was enough for Murong Qiao to outline what kind of situation Huo Yichen was facing.

“Apart from these troubles, there’s nothing to worry about.” Huo Yichen didn’t mention anything about the infighting.

Murong Qiao looked up at him and observed his expression as he spoke. She noticed the annoyance in his eyes when he talked about the Huo family.

From a certain perspective, the two of them were in a similar situation.

She listened about how Huo Yichen had taken on the responsibility of living alone and how he had returned to the Huo family and faced countless family members who were waiting for him with ill intentions.

Although Murong Qiao didn’t have the same experience as Huo Yichen, she felt that it wasn’t easy to face the struggles encountered by wealthy families.

In the face of an unfamiliar environment and so-called family, Huo Yichen’s environment was filled with malice.

“Still.” Huo Yichen changed the topic. “I’m not saying this to gain your sympathy.”

“I was too impulsive back then and hurt you in a fit of anger.” He took the initiative to mention what had happened previously.

Even though Murong Qiao didn’t mention it on purpose most of the time, Huo Yichen remembered it.

“I’m sorry.” Huo Yichen looked at Murong Qiao and apologized.

He had always wanted to find an opportunity to apologize. It was only today that he finally said it.

After knowing that Huo Yichen had actually experienced so much during his disappearance, Murong Qiao’s heart softened unconsciously.

Now that she heard the word ‘sorry’, the defense that had loosened in her heart completely collapsed.

At the thought that Huo Yichen’s mother had just passed away at that time, the remaining discomfort in Murong Qiao’s heart also disappeared. No one would be happy when they encountered such a thing.

Moreover, Huo Yichen had played with her all day today. Murong Qiao gradually realized that her feelings for Huo Yichen might indeed have become a little different.

She could feel Huo Yichen’s sincerity and guilt, and she could feel her heart gradually softening.

“I really lost to you.” Murong Qiao had to admit defeat when she met Huo Yichen’s serious gaze.

Before she could finish her sentence, Murong Qiao was hugged by Huo Yichen.

Huo Yichen’s scent enshrouded her.

“Just this once.” Murong Qiao didn’t resist and added the second half in a low voice.

Huo Yichen heard what she said and chuckled without answering.

The cool night wind also moved to avoid their hot embrace, leaving some space for them to hug.

At this moment, the barrier between them disappeared, and their relationship seemed to have gotten closer..
