Chapter 16 Why are you here?

Until the phone was hung up.

Mu Yuan couldn't recover from her chaotic emotions.

The words "missed call" were marked in red and popped up on the screen.

Don't want to answer.

There are only plants here, and plants will not pry into her mind.

So she can do whatever she wants.

She pretended to be busy and didn't hear it. The plants wouldn't report her anyway.

“Boom.”

Mu Yuan looked up at the sky as the sound came. The dark clouds covered the sky like a huge layer of gray gauze, making people feel depressed.

She hates rainy days.

Because she almost died on a rainy day.

The rain was heavy, washing against the glass and even splashing on her face as she was doing research by the window.

Mu Yuan frowned and leaned over to close the window.

In the heavy rain, the familiar tall figure made her stop grabbing the window handle.

He didn't bring an umbrella, just walked leisurely in the rain and mud.

She was surprised until she heard footsteps coming from behind.

She suddenly turned around.

Huo Min's hair hung down in front of his forehead, his eyes were deep and misty, and under the uncreased sleeves of his suit, raindrops slid down his bony hands and dripped onto the lime-gray floor, forming small dots.

The rain muddied his indifference, and the moment his black eyes opened, they were filled with uncontrollable sharpness and gloom.

For a moment, Mu Yuan felt that he seemed like a different person.

But the moment he spoke calmly, the familiar him returned: "Why didn't you answer the phone?"

Water dripped all over the floor.

Mu Yuan couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

Under the pretense of finding something to wipe his hands, she hid the guilty feeling in her eyes: "Did you call me? I muted my phone and didn't hear it. Sorry."

He rummaged through the drawers, took out a clean lab coat, and handed it over.

"It's clean, just wipe it. Why don't you hold an umbrella when you go out?"

"I didn't bring it." Huo Min said concisely.

Before wiping, he took off his suit jacket.

The shirt wraps around the broad straight shoulders, the hard and wide lines narrow to the waist, and further down, there are long legs completely covered by trousers.

Mu Yuan looked away, avoiding the male hormones that were becoming more aggressive in the thick air of the rainy day.

She lowered her head and fiddled with the branches, as if checking for pests and diseases, feigning indifference. "Is there something you're calling me about?"

"Something's going on."

"What's up?"

"It's going to rain, I'm asking if you have an umbrella."

Mu Yuan almost plucked off a leaf.

To avoid hurting her hands, she pushed the flowerpot away.

Looking at him soaked to the skin, she felt the rain creeping into her heart, soaking her mind: "Then how did you know I was here?"

The phone call can't be connected, but you know she is here?

Even if you knew, why did you come here?

Just a look.

Huo Min knew her inner thoughts, and even he was surprised by her keen sense.

"Guess."

"Guess?"

Huo Min pursed his lips coldly: "You won't answer the phone when you're doing experiments."

Their eyes met and their emotions gradually became cold.

Mu Yuan looked at him, silently waiting for another reply.

He finally opened his mouth and added, "You almost fainted last time. I was worried about you, so I came here."

The air is too stuffy on rainy days, Mu Yuan suddenly thought a little irritably.

She was so stuffy that she opened her mouth to breathe some fresh air: "Huo Min, are we friends?"

Huo Min's eyes were dark: "Forget it."

"If you were a friend, then you should at least tell me when you left yesterday, right? Instead of disappearing quietly and making your friends worry."

When she got to the last sentence, she felt that it was ambiguous and hurriedly added a definition of the meaning of worry.

"I mean, you're hanging out with me after all, so if anything happens to you I'll be held jointly responsible."

After explaining, she felt that it would be better not to explain. She lowered her eyes, annoyed by her sudden inarticulateness.

Without raising my eyes, I noticed his leather shoes from the corner of my vision.

She raised her eyes and met his unfathomable pupils.

"I'm in the parking lot."
