"She's here."
Qin Ruan walked over with a light and relaxed stride, moving towards Master Huo and sat down beside him.
Huo Chuan and Lin Hao also stood behind her and Master Huo.
As soon as Qin Ruan settled down next to Master Huo, her delicate nose twitched slightly.
She wrinkled her nose, following the scent of heavy wood that encircled it, she sniffed towards Master Huo.
A smile appeared in Qin Ruan's eyes and she affectionately said, "Master, the fragrance on you today is exceptionally pleasing."
Master Huo feigned anger in response to her bizarre comment about a man's scent, "Nonsense!"
He reached up and flicked Qin Ruan's forehead lightly.
The gesture was tender, more of an affectionate indulgence rather than a reproach.
Playing along, Qin Ruan curled her arm around Master Huo's, her demeanor reminiscent of a little girl's: "You always have a hint of pine and sandalwood scent on you. It's particularly refreshing today."
