Hu Liena looked dejected, but then forced a smile. "Brother Huo, I know what kind of person you like. It's someone like a teacher, isn't it? A teacher is beautiful, powerful, aloof, and noble. She's also the Pope, with unparalleled beauty and power. That's the kind of person Brother Huo likes, isn't it?"
Huo Yuhao remained silent at this moment.
Hu Liena stopped and looked at his silent profile, her voice filled with grievance and disappointment. "Brother Huo, whenever we encounter a difficult question, you always do this, saying nothing at all."
Huo Yuhao said, " Nana," as if he wanted to say something.
Hu Liena's eyes were slightly red. Suddenly, she turned around and ran away without looking back.
Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate and immediately gave chase.
There were many people on the street, but that wasn't a problem for Huo Yuhao.
His figure flickered several times in the crowd, almost illusory. Suddenly, Huo Yuhao teleported and grabbed his slender wrist.
Hu Liena stopped in her tracks at the sudden touch. She looked up, her eyes blurry with tears, at the person behind her.
"Brother Huo," her voice choked with emotion, " Nana hasn't congratulated you on becoming Titled Douluo yet, but... but I'm so heartbroken, my heart is really aching."
Before she could finish speaking, her carefully constructed composure finally crumbled completely. Unable to contain her emotions any longer, she threw herself into Huo Yuhao's arms, her shoulders trembling slightly.
Huo Yuhao sighed and said, "Why did you say I like the Pope, Nana?"
Hu Liena buried her face in his chest, her voice muffled and trembling with tears. "Because, before you left, I saw you and the teacher meeting at night. I didn't know how far things had progressed between you two."
"I've kept this secret all along; I've kept it to myself, and I've never dared to tell anyone."
She continued to confide in Huo Yuhao: "But, Brother Huo, do you know how I feel when I see my teacher fall in love with someone I like?"
Hu Liena's tears were unstoppable; she could only sob freely in his arms.
Perhaps it was because this place was away from the main street and relatively quiet that Hu Liena dared to cry like this.
She tilted her tear-streaked face up and asked, "Brother Huo, what exactly is Nana in your eyes?"
"I know, Brother Huo, you're getting very close to a girl named Xue'er, and now you're also having a complicated relationship with the teacher."
"But what about me, Brother Huo? I like you. You may never know how much I like you."
"I really want to tell you what's on my mind, but because of my teacher, I can't, I absolutely mustn't."
"Your departure has saddened not only me, but also others. I've been hoping for your return, and I'm waiting every single day."
"I originally thought that since you were the Holy Son and I was the Holy Daughter, our relationship would definitely take a turn for the better and might even blossom into something meaningful. But alas, why is fate so unfair? It sent you to my side, and then it takes you away from me time and time again."
"Clearly, I was clearly the first person to meet Brother Huo!"
Hu Liena's voice grew increasingly agitated, her sobs grew louder, and the tears that fell to the ground were scalding hot. What kind of emotion, what kind of feeling, was this?
Huo Yuhao's gaze was also extremely gentle as he stroked her forehead. "I heard your feelings, Nana. Don't worry about your teacher's thoughts. Just do what you think is best."
His voice carried a Sisi of apology, "I'm really shocked, Nana. I'm so sorry, because I was a bit confused before, so I didn't notice your feelings right away."
"Now, I'm hearing it clearly."
"I like Nana too," he said, tightening his arms slightly and pulling her closer into his embrace.
Thank you for waiting for me all this time, until I fell in love with you, and for still loving me then.
Hu Liena trembled slightly, as if these words had struck the softest spot in her heart, and she choked up, unable to speak.
"Brother Huo, this is wonderful! I don't know whether I should cry or laugh," she said, her voice broken, but a smile played on her lips. Her tears were tears of emotion, and her laughter was laughter of joy.
Hu Liena is starting to lose control of her emotions.
Huo Yuhao slowly released her, snapped his fingers, and took out a handkerchief from his Soul Tool.
He gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Hu Liena's eyes.
Whether you cry or laugh, it doesn't matter.
Looking into Hu Liena's eyes as she sheds small pearls, he is deeply moved by her emotions.
"Now that I've told you, Miss Hu Liena, I like you. Will you say yes?"
Hu Liena bit her lower lip, fighting back another wave of tears, and nodded vigorously, "Mmm."
She was no longer under the pressure of her teacher, nor was she feeling emotionally frustrated. All she felt was a flutter in her heart at this moment; her heart was pounding as if it were about to burst out of her chest.
Her voice trembled slightly, yet it was so clear, "I do, Brother Huo. I've been waiting for this moment all along. Thankfully, I didn't give up, and it's finally here."
She stood on tiptoe and, without the slightest hesitation, kissed Huo Yuhao.
The kiss began with a desperate act of courage, but after Huo Yuhao responded, their kiss became passionate, and Hu Liena's emotions became extremely intense. Hu Liena's long-suppressed emotions seemed to have finally found an outlet, pouring out without reservation at this moment, awkward yet sincere, clumsy yet ardent.
How should one deal with the feelings of someone who has a crush on them? Right now, in this very moment.
This feeling expanded rapidly, transforming into an astonishing emotion.
Their lips parted slowly, their breaths slightly ragged, but their emotions gradually calmed down. However, their hearts were never truly at peace.
And just like that, Huo Yuhao found himself with one more person to accompany him.
"Brother Huo," Hu Liena said as they walked down the street, their fingers intertwined, "Have you decided on your title?"
Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "I haven't decided yet. After all, I feel that the title is still very important, and I need to think of a powerful and imposing title."
"I do have a name that suits Brother Huo," Hu Liena said playfully.
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Oh? Does our Nana have any good nicknames?"
Hu Liena voiced her idea. "How about calling it ' Holy Spirit Douluo'? It includes the white holy dragon that Brother Huo summoned earlier. This spirit will add to Brother Huo's sense of mystery and nobility."
Huo Yuhao was utterly shocked, even reacting instinctively. " Nana, this name, absolutely not, absolutely, absolutely not!"
Hu Liena asked in confusion, "??? Why?"
Huo Yuhao thought to himself, " Holy Spirit Douluo, Nana, you've turned me into the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult! I wish I could kill Evil Soul Master in there!"
Huo Yuhao said stiffly, "There's no reason. This name is absolutely not suitable for me."
P. S.: Holy Spirit Douluo, oh my god, brothers, actually the first thing that came to mind when I thought of the Holy Spirit wasn't the Holy Spirit Cult, but the Holy Spirit-type spirit Puni from Seer. It was only after slowly recalling that I realized it was the Holy Spirit Cult.
