The group of four then spent several more days training in the Monster Forest.
Only after Qin Wan successfully broke through to become a junior swordsman did Xiao Ci show a satisfied expression and inform the other three about preparing to return to the city.
Back to the city...
Upon hearing those two words, Xiao Ye's expression became quite complicated, and his gaze involuntarily fell upon Qin Wan.
In the past few days, the eldest brother and Qin Wan have become increasingly intimate, and the eldest brother makes no attempt to hide his feelings for Qin Wan.
Qin Wan's initial shyness and resistance have gradually given way to shy acceptance...
"Wan'er, can I talk to you?"
Taking advantage of Qin Wan being alone and Xiao Ci not paying attention, Xiao Ye appeared out of nowhere in front of Qin Wan.
"There's nothing to say between us," Qin Wan said, her expression slightly cold.
Seeing Qin Wan about to leave, Xiao Ye quickly reached out to pull her back...
"Qin Wan, let me explain."
"I just want to sincerely apologize to you..."
Qin Wan took a step back, avoiding Xiao Ye's outstretched hand, her brows furrowed slightly, staring at him with displeasure.
"I really just wanted to apologize to you." Seeing Qin Wan's resistance to him, Xiao felt uneasy.
"Okay, then hurry up." Qin Wan suddenly changed her mind and attitude.
Upon seeing this, Xiao was taken aback at first, but after regaining his senses, he solemnly clasped his hands in apology to Qin Wan.
"I'm sorry, I mistook you for my savior, I misunderstood you."
"Everything before was my fault, including the annulment of the engagement. I will do my best to make it up to you."
"From now on, I, Xiao, will never refuse your request!"
Xiao made the promise with a serious expression, but Qin Wan remained indifferent and unmoved.
"Are you done talking?" Qin Wan asked.
Seeing her cold reaction, Xiao also felt a little uncomfortable.
"There's one last thing..." Xiao Ye quickly spoke up when he saw Qin Wan was about to leave.
"You... what do you want to say about our engagement?" As he spoke, Xiao looked at her expectantly, a faint glimmer of hope rising in his eyes.
As if anticipating something...
Seeing his reaction, Qin Wan remained expressionless, glanced calmly at Xiao Ye, and said indifferently, "I have nothing to say."
"Our engagement has long been dissolved. The past is the past, there's no need to bring it up again."
"Of course, if you insist on asking me what I think, I won't shy away from it. I think it's a good thing to break off the engagement; it's better for both of us."
boom!
Looking at Qin Wan's indifferent expression, Xiao felt as if his heart was being stabbed with needles.
He ultimately missed her...
"What about the eldest brother?"
"You've only known your elder brother for a few days. Are you really going to agree to his marriage proposal?" Xiao Ye's words revealed a hint of concern and resentment that was impossible to ignore.
This faint fluctuation of emotion seemed to suggest that he wasn't entirely indifferent to Qin Wan...
“Brother Xiao treats me sincerely, and I admire him as an outstanding man. When I see that he only has eyes for me, I feel very happy.”
At this point, Qin Wan looked up at Xiao Ye, "You understand what I mean, right?"
Seeing Qin Wan's candid expression as she faced her true feelings, a hint of melancholy flashed across Xiao Ye's eyes.
He chuckled softly and said calmly, "I understand."
My older brother likes her.
She also likes her older brother.
She and her older brother were in love with each other.
Regardless of what happened in the past, their engagement is now a thing of the past.
Whether Qin Wan ever cared about or not, it's all in the past...
Seeing Qin Wan about to leave, Xiao Ye was still unwilling to give up. In the instant they brushed past each other, he couldn't help but grab Qin Wan's hand.
"If, I mean if... I hadn't mistaken Qin Qing, would our ending have been different?"
Xiao asked very seriously, and there was even a hint of nervousness in his eyes that he himself did not realize.
"No," Qin Wan answered firmly.
There is no future between us.
Because she is Qin Wan, not the original owner of this body.
The only person she would spend her life with was Xiao Ci.
Upon hearing this, Xiao suddenly loosened his grip on Qin Wan's hand...
turn out to be……
In the end, he crossed the line...
"I'm sorry to have kept you so long."
Qin Wan shook her head, said "It's nothing" in a faint voice, and then left.
Watching her departing figure, Xiao felt a pang of bitterness welling up in his chest.
At the entrance to the woods, Qin Wan smiled as she looked at the tall figure waiting beneath the towering trees.
"Have you been waiting long?"
Xiao Ci glanced at her, then his gaze swept over the empty space behind her.
"It wasn't long; I just watched you go in with my own eyes."
Upon hearing this, a slight smile appeared in Qin Wan's eyes.
She stepped forward and took Xiao Ci's hand. "I've already explained everything to him."
"Hmm." Xiao Ci responded indifferently, seemingly unconcerned.
But in that instant, Qin Wan could clearly feel him tighten his grip on her hand, his fingers silently slipping between hers, their fingers intertwined...
"Brother Xiao," Qin Wan suddenly called out.
Xiao Ci paused, turned his head and looked at her in confusion, "Hmm?"
"I have a secret to tell you." Qin Wan looked at him intently, her expression mysterious.
"Could you lean a little closer to me?" Qin Wan looked at him hopefully.
Xiao Ci raised an eyebrow, but still obediently did as he was told.
The next second, Qin Wan suddenly leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Brother Xiao, I like you."
Before he could even react, a warm, soft touch landed on his cheek, sending a strange, tingling sensation straight to his heart...
[Xiao Ci's favorability increased by 2, current favorability 100. Congratulations, host, on completing the mission.]
A touch and then a separation...
Before Xiao Ci could react, Qin Wan kissed him and ran away without the slightest hesitation.
When Xiao Ci came to his senses, Qin Wan had already run some distance away. Watching her panicked figure disappear into the distance, Xiao Ci's eyes darkened, and he narrowed them dangerously.
The little girl is getting bolder and bolder.
They've gone astray!
As Qin Wan's figure was about to disappear from his sight, Xiao Ci did not rush to chase after her, but turned to look at the entrance of the Monster Forest.
As soon as Xiao Ye left the Monster Forest, he immediately noticed a burning gaze fixed on him.
The moment their eyes met, Xiao's heart skipped a beat.
"Brother, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Ci curled his lips into a forced smile and said, "I want to have a chat with you."
Xiao Ye: "..." An ominous premonition crept into his heart.
"Big brother...I..."
A strong will to survive made Xiao instinctively want to refuse.
Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, Xiao Ci slashed at him with his sword...
Xiao panicked and dodged, asking, "Big brother, what are you doing?"
"Big brother, please let me explain."
"Brother, things aren't what you think..."
"Big brother..."
Seeing that Xiao Ci was "bloodthirsty", Xiao Ye frantically dodged while urgently explaining, trying to bring Xiao Ci back to his senses.
pity……
When it came to Qin Wan, Xiao Ci was completely irrational...
