Du Xixi was angry at Bai Zhan for Mo Ying's sake, but she sensed the slightly melancholic mood of the man beside her, which calmed her down a bit. She gently hugged Ke Lian's shoulder.
"Ke Lian, I know there's a bond between you brothers..." Du Xixi said softly, "So I won't interfere too much in this matter."
After venting her anger, Du Xixi's temper subsided somewhat, and her mind gradually cleared. No matter what Bai Zhan was thinking, it didn't affect Du Xixi much, but for Ke Lian, it was considered a heavy blow.
Years of brotherhood and mutual understanding made him believe that he knew Bai Zhan through and through. Who would have thought Bai Zhan would lose his composure so suddenly when Mo Ying found a partner? How could Ke Lian not feel hurt?
Ke Lian sensed Du Xixi's consolation, and he hugged her back, letting out a faint chuckle: "Thank you for your comfort. I'm okay."
