Chapter 447: Spending Time Together (2)
Such a dashing youth but his handsome face was destroyed by a malevolent scar.
Qin Hanmo touched the wound on his face uneasily. He had also noticed Qin Yi’s gaze and felt somewhat embarrassed – was his sister frightened by the scar on his face?
He got that scar five years ago. He was out on a mission but at that time, he hadn’t gotten over the grief that Qin Yi was dead. When he encountered a mutated plant, he got distracted and was tied up tightly by it.
At that time, he only had one thought in his mind – he couldn’t die. He was still waiting for Qin Yi’s return and at the critical moment, he awakened the poison ability but at the cost of getting his face disfigured.
He never cared about the scar on his face all along. Even when others mocked him or called him an ugly guy, it didn’t matter to him. He was satisfied just being able to live on and wait for his younger sister.
Qin Yi pursed her lips and retracted her gaze, then stuffed Xiao Lan into Qin Hanmo’s arms.
There was love and tenderness on Qin Hanmo’s face as he fumbled to carry the child who had a milk scent.
Xiao Lan felt very comfortable and adjusted his position instinctively. He laid in Qin Hanmo’s arms comfortably and was very adorable.
This softened Qin Hanmo’s heart. He managed to pull out a few candies and opened one up for Xiao Lan. Xiao Lan smiled widely as he ate one and liked Qin Hanmo a little more.
At this time, the base was stable, and had begun focusing on returning to what life was like before the apocalypse. Z-City Base was developing quite well and made many machines; this sweet was made using a type of plant that was very similar to sugar cane.
But just this small piece was very expensive. Qin Hanyu had a habit of keeping some on hand; firstly, to coax his mother and secondly, to give one to Qin Yi someday.
Xiao Lan ate it happily and Qin Hanyu smiled widely and had a boy-next-door air around him. He hesitated for a long while before handing the rest of the candies in his hand to Qin Yi.
“For you.”
It wasn’t that he couldn’t bear to, but he didn’t know how to get along with Qin Yi, or perhaps he was worried that he would frighten her.
Qin Hanmo was very fair, had wide palms, and his hands were beautiful. The men in the Qin Family all had nice hands like they were born to be artists.
Qin Hanmo looked quite eager. Compared to his older brother, he didn’t spend as much time with Qin Yi, so he didn’t really know how to treat her.
Qin Yi looked at the caution in Qin Hanmo’s eyes and just couldn’t reject him. She reached out and took a piece of candy.
It was such a simple act, yet it made Qin Hanmo smile so widely. His face was radiant like flowers blooming in spring, he was like a child who got candy.
Qin Yi’s countenance softened slightly, and she touched the candy lightly between her fingers. Suddenly, she recalled Qin Hanmo doing this one afternoon as well. He handed her a piece of candy.
She was an illegitimate daughter and the Qin Family hated her. Qin Hanyu ignored her while Qin Hanmo liked mocking her.
Not only did the Qin Family hate her, even those children from families that were close to the Qin Family hated her as well. She remembered a fat boy who was two years older than her who liked bullying her. He would find a group of people to scold and beat her up for no reason.
There was once when Qin Hanmo saw it and they pinched her till her entire body was covered in bruises. She thought that Qin Hanmo would continue mocking her, but he actually chased those people away.
