Chapter 11 I Don’t Want You to Get Bitten

She didn't miss his sudden pause.

Huo Min didn't respond directly. His eyes were as dark as a cave, harbouring danger. "What do you think?"

She had some doubts from the moment she saw him in the morning, but she was not so narcissistic as to think that he would care about her.

After all, apart from fulfilling the agreement, they have almost no interaction, and there will never be an opportunity to watch a movie together like today.

More stranger than strangers.

But in the afternoon he forcefully forced his agent to apologize to her.

She suddenly felt that the dividing line between them had become blurred.

She narrowed her eyes and said, "So this is what it's like to be friends with the boss. I can even get a day off. It's pretty cool."

A certain hope in his eyes dimmed for a moment: "Why not try to develop other benefits?"

She was bewildered: "Can it still be developed?"

"Why not?" He curled his lips and said casually, "Wait for you to work hard to develop, and I will realize it."

His faint smile seemed a little ambiguous in the dark room.

Mu Yuan's thoughts were pulled back by the laughter of the people watching the movie. She replied casually, "I...try my best."

She quickly turned her gaze back to the screen.

But she found that after skipping the plot, she couldn't understand it.

The air conditioning vents in the venue are located at the top of the last row, and it only felt slightly cool when I first entered.

But sitting still for a long time will lower your body temperature.

Moreover, she was on her menstrual period and was afraid of the cold. Now the wind blew her fingertips so cold that they were icy. She clenched and unclenched her fingers, but the icy feeling on her fingertips did not disappear.

I was just about to put my hands between my legs to keep warm.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Huo Min taking off his suit.

The next moment, the suit that still retained his body temperature was draped over her legs.

He didn't even look at her.

The movements are natural, as if they were meant to be done.

The contrast between her slender white fingers and the black suit was a stark contrast.

She was in a daze, feeling the warmth gradually returning to her fingertips.

The movie ended and she didn't watch much of it.

The audience around them stood up and left one after another.

She lifted her coat, patted the creases on it, and handed it to Huo Min gratefully: "Thank you."

"Hmm." He put it on and smelled the non-existent rose scent. His thin lips tightened instantly, then straightened again.

His collar was pressed, but he didn't seem to notice.

"Your collar... Never mind, don't move." She said softly, curled her fingertips slightly, and stretched out her hand.

Huo Min's eyes suddenly turned dark, and he stared at her without blinking.

She was careful, but her fingertips couldn't avoid grazing across his collarbone.

The feeling of wanting to touch but not being able to touch through the shirt is even more concerning.

Huo Min's Adam's apple rolled again.

I once again recalled the thrilling scene of her bravely catching the snake.

The feelings that had been buried deep in my heart for a long time could no longer be suppressed: "Actually, in the afternoon, you could have just told me, there was a snake behind me, why did you have to catch it yourself?"

Mu Yuan was stunned by his sudden question and opened her eyes slightly. It took her a while to realize what he was talking about.

The dim light made her almond-shaped eyes look bright and watery.

"I was worried you were afraid of snakes."

Huo Min was too tall, and she had to look up to meet his dark pupils. "And if you turn your head, you'll probably startle it, and the chances of getting bitten are very high."

Huo Min said solemnly, "The chances of you getting bitten are not low either."

God knows, his heart almost stopped beating when he saw her grab the snake's head with one hand.

Mu Yuan was choked by the counter-argument, and most of her attention was absorbed by his inky black pupils.

My mind was confused and I blurted out: "It doesn't matter, but I don't want you to get bitten."

Huo Min paused, his blood rushing to his eyes, making them feel hot. "Mu Yuan, do you have any…"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the sudden ringing of his cell phone: "Ding-ling-ling."

Mu Yuan lowered his head and saw his caller ID: Nana.
