Helan Lian looked at the interaction between this pair of martial brothers and felt inexplicably irked. He tugged at Mingshu and griped together, "Don't you think there's something off about these two? Who hugs and cuddles upon meeting like that? That Crown Prince of Dongling doesn't seem like a good person to me!"
Mingshu carefully observed the two but didn't notice anything amiss.
She turned her head, looked at Helan Lian gnashing his teeth as if he were a husband who had caught his wife in bed with her lover, and her face fell silent.
...
It was as if she had stumbled upon some earth-shattering secret!
After a while, Mingshu spoke up gravely, "I didn't find them strange... I think you... you seem a little odd."
No, scratch that, very odd!
Helan Lian turned his head, looking displeased, "What do you mean by that? Aren't we brothers? Why are you playing against me?!"
