Love is as vast as the Milky Way, impossible to cross.

Chapter 113 Qin Xiang, I have some things I want to tell you, about us...

He glanced helplessly at the closed bathroom door and had no choice but to answer the phone.

"Mu Chen, where are you now? Why haven't you called me? I miss you so much. When are you coming back?"

Qin Xiang's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Huo Muchen rubbed his temples, a strange sense of irritation rising within him. He took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound calm:

"Qin Xiang, there's something I want to tell you, about us..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Xiang interrupted him:

"I didn't even realize it was so late. I won't disturb your rest. Goodnight."

She hung up the phone quickly after saying that.

Huo Muchen gripped his phone, his brow furrowed. He knew he had to face some things.

Meanwhile, Qin Xiang was trembling all over. She had a premonition that Huo Muchen might break up with her. She didn't want to face this reality, but she couldn't escape it.

Anger and unease intertwined within her, and she picked up something nearby and smashed it on the ground to vent her emotions.

Huo Muchen walked to the bathroom door, gently turned the handle, only to find the door locked from the inside. His heart tightened, and he softened his voice, saying softly:

"Honey, can you open the door?"

However, the bathroom was completely silent, with no response.

Huo Muchen continued to patiently persuade him:

"Honey, open the door, or you'll catch a cold. Can we talk outside?"

He stood outside the door, waiting for Liu Shiyin's reaction.

At the same time, he was also thinking about how to better handle his relationship with Qin Xiang, and how to comfort and explain things to Liu Shiyin.

As time passed, the bathroom light finally came on. Huo Muchen was overjoyed, knowing that Liu Shiyin was finally willing to open the door. Hearing the sound of the lock, he gently pushed the door open and saw Liu Shiyin's somewhat pale face.

He walked slowly closer, gazing at Liu Shiyin with his tender eyes, and then gently pulled her into his arms, letting her nestle against his chest.

He lowered his head and whispered in her ear:

"Is it cold?"

Liu Shiyin slowly raised her head and looked at Huo Muchen. Her bright eyes were now veiled with mist, and her voice trembled slightly as she softly asked:

"Mu Chen, I... am I being a bad person?"

The joyful days of the past few days had made her forget that Huo Muchen had a girlfriend, Qin Xiang. At this moment, she was filled with shame and self-reproach.

Huo Muchen looked at her, his brows furrowing slightly, a hint of confusion on his face. He gently took her hand, trying to comfort her. He composed himself and then softly replied:

“Honey, don’t say that. You’re not a bad woman; you’re a kind and gentle girl. Our feelings for each other are real, and no one can deny that. I’ll handle Qin Xiang’s situation; you don’t need to feel guilty about it.”

Liu Shiyin stared at Huo Muchen, her eyes flashing with complex emotions. She remained silent for a long time, as if she were having a fierce struggle deep inside, before finally making up her mind.

She took a deep breath and spoke softly:

“Since I went to prison, I have not dared to hope for anything. I only hope that my mother and I can be safe and sound, have enough to eat and wear. Love is like an unattainable star to me.”

"But after meeting you, I longed to have a genuine relationship and to love someone wholeheartedly. But I never dared to take that step. I was afraid that the outcome would disappoint me, afraid that the gap between us was insurmountable."

"I am like a dim star, shining alone in the night sky, unable to compare with your moonlight. Your light is so dazzling that I feel my own insignificance and ordinariness. Sometimes I ask myself, am I really worthy of your light, am I qualified to stand beside you?"
