Seeing Huo Shiqian, Xia Chuxin felt both surprised and delighted, a surge of complex emotions rising within her chest.
"I thought something had happened to you..." Xia Chuyi, buried in Huo Shiqian's embrace, spoke with a somewhat choked voice.
Then, Xia Chuyi felt Huo Shiqian gently stroking her, seemingly comforting her.
Soon, all the complex emotions finally boiled down to joy, and Xia Chuyi asked him, "Why did you suddenly come back? Guo Jiumin said something happened to you at the border, how are you? Are you okay? Do you have any injuries?"
Xia Chuyi hurriedly pulled Huo Shiqian, observing him up and down.
Huo Shiqian said nothing, just stood there allowing Xia Chuyi to examine him.
"Where's Panpan?" After Xia Chuyi finished looking him over, Huo Shiqian spoke.
"Oh, right, Panpan!" Xia Chuyi, just because she saw Huo Shiqian, forgot about Xia Pan in her happiness.
At this reminder from Huo Shiqian, Xia Chuyi quickly went to bring Xia Pan out from behind the bookshelf.
