Feeling This World's Warmth for the First Time

An hour had passed by the time Ye Chen left Sengoku's office. Please search on Baidu.

At this time, besides discussing the mysterious person, Sengoku also instructed Ye Chen to go out and show his face during this period, since it had been a year, and many people in the ocean even thought that the Marine Admiral Emperor was dead.

Additionally, the Shichibukai made a suggestion, which Sengoku mentioned to Ye Chen.

As soon as he entered the gate, the aroma of food wafted to his nose, and Ye Chen couldn't help but smile slightly. Without a doubt, Hina had returned.

As soon as the door opened, sure enough, the dining table was already full of food, and a head peeked out from the kitchen.

"Brother Ye Chen, dinner is ready."

Wearing loungewear and an apron, Hina held a spoon in her hand.

"What are you doing at home?" Ye Chen asked, glancing at Bai Doudou, who was slumped on the sofa, as he walked into the living room.

"I happen to be on vacation," came Hina's reply from the kitchen.

"Where are Smoker and the others?"

They're still outside.

Before long, the two of them, along with a rabbit and a dragon, sat down in the chairs. Of course, Huobian was lying on the dining table, happily munching on a big meaty leg in front of him.

"Seriously, Brother Ye Chen, you've been gone for a year. Do you know how much I miss you?"

Hina was very dissatisfied while eating the food.

Ye Chen felt slightly embarrassed and remained silent, simply lowering his head to eat.

"Nana, didn't you miss me?" Bai Doudou mumbled incoherently to Hina as she ate her rice, as if she hadn't eaten in eight lifetimes.

"Yes, but not as many as Brother Ye Chen!"

Hina was very bold; she confessed without hesitation and showed no embarrassment whatsoever, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Hmph! She values romance over friendship." Bai Doudou snorted coldly, then buried her head in her food, feeling utterly disheartened.

"Brother Ye Chen, eat more."

Ignoring Bai Doudou's feelings, Hina kept serving food to Ye Chen, then rested her chin on one hand, smiling foolishly, staring at Ye Chen without blinking.

"Aren't you tired of staring at me like that?" The aggressive gaze made Ye Chen feel strange.

"I'm not tired, I want to keep watching." It was very explicit, almost a confession, Hina still smiled sweetly.

It was as if this year had greatly increased her courage.

"Let's see!" Ye Chen smiled slightly, not disliking it at all.

To be honest, Hina has a great figure, beautiful looks, and a very obedient temperament. She's a perfect match, both in public and in the kitchen. How could Ye Chen not know everything Hina has silently done for him over the years?

Being loved, protected, and cared for by someone, Ye Chen's heart seemed to soften, no longer so cold, without him even realizing it.

"Aren't you two numb?" Bai Doudou, who was standing next to her, couldn't stand it anymore and shuddered.

"Shut up and eat your food, or I'll throw you out."

Hina narrowed her eyes and glared fiercely at Bai Doudou, instantly ruining the Dead Rabbit atmosphere.

Because Hina could sense that her brother Ye Chen seemed to be less rejecting of her.

Bai Doudou felt particularly aggrieved during the meal, and once again, he felt like he was superfluous.

p, this kind of thinking is absolutely unacceptable.

Shaking her head, Bai Doudou collected her thoughts and scanned Ye Chen and Hina back and forth, finding the feeling increasingly real the more she looked.

Huo, on the other hand, quietly hugged the meat leg and gnawed on it with relish.

In the middle of the night, the starry sky is adorned with endless brilliance, occasionally streaking across the sky.

Lying in bed, moonlight streamed through the gauze curtains, illuminating a sleeping face.

Just then, the door quietly opened, and a slender figure in pajamas crept in furtively.

His tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, then closed again.

Restless in bed, Ye Chen opened his eyes again.

"Hina, what are you doing?"

Looking at the warm body that had huddled under his blankets, trembling slightly as it hugged him, Ye Chen was somewhat stunned.

Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, Hina, who was initially somewhat apprehensive and extremely shy, immediately buried her face deeply in Ye Chen's chest, wrapped her arms around him, and hugged Ye Chen waist tightly.

"I don't want to wait for Ye Chen anymore. This past year, I've missed Ye Chen so much, I think about him all the time. I love Ye Chen, and I want to be Ye Chen's bride."

With her face buried in her hands, Hina listened to the strong heartbeat, and her lost courage was rekindled.

After thinking about it for a long time, she decided to stop hiding her feelings. She wanted to confess her love and tell Ye Chen that she liked him and had always liked him.

Ye Chen fell silent. To be honest, he had never thought about matters between men and women, and he had never experienced them in his previous life. Hina's sudden confession left Ye Chen somewhat at a loss.

It would be a lie to say that Ye Chen had no feelings for Hina.

Feeling the soft, boneless warmth in his arms, certain parts of Ye Chen began to change.

"Brother Ye Chen, don't you like Hina?"

Ye Chen's silence made Hina very uneasy. Her face flushed, she raised her head, her long eyelashes trembling, and her big eyes looked even more pitiful.

Looking closely at the pretty face so close to his, and smelling the pleasant fragrance of her hair, Ye Chen's indifferent pupils showed a hint of other emotions for the first time.

The warm touch caused Ye Chen's pupils to widen suddenly, as Hina, with her eyes closed, kissed his lips directly.

Pure white and bright, the gauze curtains rustled softly, and in the moonlight, a man and a woman kissed.

Overwhelmed by emotion, Ye Chen acted without hesitation, embracing Hina and kissing her.

For some reason, the originally bright moonlight suddenly disappeared, as if it were shy and hid behind the clouds.

Immediately afterwards, rapid breathing and various other sounds began to fill the entire bedroom.

"P, it's the middle of the night and you won't let people sleep, boss, that's enough."

Suddenly, there was a loud bang on the wall, followed by Bai Doudou's loud cursing, clearly indicating that she had been woken up.

The next day, Bai Doudou got up early, sat up straight, and looked solemnly at the man and woman on the sofa.

"You've been watching all morning, haven't you had enough yet?"

Sipping his coffee, Ye Chen read the news, while Hina sat beside him, sweetly clinging to his arm.

"So that's what caused all that noise last night."

Rubbing her dark circles, Bai Doudou looked at Ye Chen and Hina with disdain.

"Go to your room Beli. Now get out of here!"

Ye Chen waved his hand, too lazy to pay attention to this idiot.

"Hmph, let's go. Let those two lovebirds continue their lovey-dovey antics, lest they offend our eyes."

Furious, Bai Doudou grabbed the inexplicably lit fire and ran upstairs, then fell silent.

With Bai Doudou gone and no more third wheel around, Ye Chen put his arm around Hina and stroked her hair with the other, feeling the warmth of this world for the first time.

Hina, with her arms wrapped around Ye Chen 'Ye Chen waist, rested her cheek against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, her face filled with happiness.

Neither of them spoke, simply enjoying this peaceful moment in silence.
