Chapter 166 Does Mr. Huo know?
Huo Min returned to the old house.
The suit jacket was held in the palm of a large hand.
A few strands of hair fell down in front of his forehead, covering his handsome eyebrows and eyes, and his innate sharpness was immediately reduced a little.
The hall was silent.
He took three or two steps up the stairs with his long legs and went straight to the second floor.
The closer the room.
His steps became lighter.
When the finger bones are attached to the door panel.
He bent his elbows, lowered his head, and smelled himself.
He smelled of alcohol, and even he himself found it disgusting.
I'd better wait until she finishes taking a shower before hugging her.
I haven't seen her for a day.
He found it very boring sitting in the noisy box.
Good night.
I should just stay with her, watching TV aimlessly or just staring blankly at nothing.
The thought of opening the door and seeing her, the one I’ve been dreaming about, makes me feel happy.
Huo Min's thin lips suddenly curled up slightly.
All the fatigue in the body disappeared immediately.
He unscrewed the doorknob.
When he saw a patch of darkness through the crack in the door, his brows raised slightly.
Asleep?
The door opened completely.
He subconsciously looked towards the bed.
In the pitch-black room, on the big bed illuminated by the moonlight.
The bed was empty.
The quilt was still neatly folded.
Huo Min's brows were deeply furrowed.
After taking a shower, Mu Yuan packed her clothes one by one.
She switched her phone back to silent mode.
It's vibrating constantly on the desktop at this moment.
Her hands paused for a moment as she was folding the clothes, but soon returned to normal and put the folded clothes into the suitcase.
Then he stood up calmly and walked to the edge of the stage.
The vibration sound of the incoming call continued to ring relentlessly.
Mu Yuan looked up at the word "husband" on the screen.
The fingertips hanging on both sides of the body curled up, but there was no intention of picking up the phone to answer it.
Until the call ends.
The screen immediately jumps from the incoming call interface to the screensaver interface.
Mu Yuan then slowly reached out and picked up the phone.
After thinking for a few seconds, I composed a message for him: [I'm not going home tonight. I'm going to visit my friend and will be staying at her house for the next few days.]
Huo Min replied almost instantly: [Your best friend?]
Mu Yuan: [Yes.]
Huo Min: [Why are you suddenly living in someone else's house?]
Mu Yuan couldn't understand.
Why did he still come to see her?
Don't you all want to dump her?
I never thought that he had been disguising himself so deeply.
She didn't want to reply.
But when I think of this person's paranoid personality.
Maybe he will harass her again tonight.
She still suppressed her emotions and replied calmly: [I suddenly wanted to get together.]
Half a minute passed.
Huo Min: [When will you be back?]
Mu Yuan said succinctly: [The day after tomorrow.]
Actually.
She will be able to set off by car the day after tomorrow.
But just in case.
Don't arouse his suspicion.
She decided to be conservative and said it was one day longer.
-
villa.
Huo Min stood in the center of the room.
He lowered his eyes to look at her reply, and pursed his thin lips in displeasure.
The day after tomorrow.
Doesn't that mean he won't be able to see her for a few days?
Even though Huo Min was unwilling in his heart.
But it wouldn't go against her decision.
That's all.
Time flies.
Let her have some fun with her bestie these few days.
Then he will go and pick them up.
Figured it out.
Huo Min's frown relaxed.
I replied with a few words: [Okay, go to bed early, good night.]
He waited for a while.
But I didn't wait for her reply.
A strange feeling suddenly arose in my heart.
But in a moment, he eliminated it again: maybe she was immersed in chatting with her best friend.
Forget it, I won’t disturb her from catching up with her bestie.
The smell of alcohol on his body is pungent.
Huo Min threw his phone away in disgust, grabbed his pajamas and went into the bathroom.
After bathing.
Huo Min was lying on the bed.
For the first time in my life, I couldn't fall asleep.
This is the first time I feel this way.
This damn bed, why is it so damn big.
The thought of him falling asleep with her in his arms last night.
Huo Min felt particularly empty in his heart.
He side-glanced, his dark eyes glancing at the pillow where she had slept.
His eyebrows were raised.
Stretch out your long arms.
He grabbed the pillow and held it in his arms.
Her scent still lingered on the pillow.
Huo Min lowered his head, sniffed lightly, and raised the corners of his mouth.
Although they haven't completely broken up yet.
But now, Mu Yuan has accepted his hug and his kiss.
More than just not refusing.
Even the occasional kiss back made him particularly ecstatic.
She should have completely opened her heart to accept him, right?
Her fragrance filled my nose, and I slept on the soft pillow she had slept on in my arms.
It feels like I have been lost for a long time and suddenly found the way home.
Huo Min's sleepiness from running away gradually returned.
Under the night sky.
Some people suffer from insomnia all night, while others have a good dream.
-
The second day.
laboratory.
Mu Yuan was worried that Huo Min would come looking for her.
But fortunately, he obviously believed her excuse of staying at her best friend's house.
Not only did people not come.
Fewer messages are sent.
A hint of sarcasm appeared on Mu Yuan's cold face.
It's a pity that Huo Min didn't become an actor.
In the past, we would send messages every day to ask about each other’s well-being, and see those smiles and deep affection.
It turns out they were all pretending.
When she thought about how she had refuted Gu Chenyi who had belittled Huo Min.
She thought it was ridiculous.
So, men understand men best?
Gu Chenyi had long realized that Huo Min just wanted to play with her.
And she has been deceiving herself.
There was no more interruption from Huo Min.
She resumed her usual overtime work.
For a moment.
A little uncomfortable?
I actually feel that the night is very long.
She is completely different from the girl she used to be, who enjoyed the quiet overtime work at night.
Mu Yuan's almond-shaped eyes were slightly startled, and then she gritted her teeth.
How could she have been so profoundly influenced by Huo Min? How could she have become so inert?
This can't go on.
She took a sip of water and continued to concentrate on the experiment.
On the third day, after the morning class.
Mu Yuan was called to the vice-president's office again.
Mu Yuan stood straight in front of his desk: "Deputy Dean, do you have something to talk to me about?"
The deputy dean quickly asked her to sit down.
After Mu Yuan sat down.
He clasped his hands together at the stage, his aged face filled with worry. "You'll encounter many difficulties and dangers on this trip. I know you're independent, but don't try to resist. Always remember, as long as you're alive, there's hope. If you encounter a problem you can't handle, call the Vice Dean immediately. He'll try to help you coordinate. Don't try to resist, and definitely don't rush into anything. Do you understand?"
Mu Yuan's almond-shaped eyes, pure as ice and snow, curved slightly, and she was deeply moved: "I understand. Thank you, Vice Dean."
The deputy director looked at her and asked tentatively: "Also, you said that day that you would keep it a secret from everyone. Didn't you tell Mr. Huo about your participation in the recovery operation?"
Mu Yuan's lips opened and closed.
In the end, in order to avoid trouble, I had to tell a white lie: "He knows."
The deputy dean was surprised: "I thought he didn't know, but he knew and agreed to let you participate. Mr. Huo really has a vision."
There was a hint of unnaturalness in Mu Yuan's eyes.
He quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Vice Dean, is the bus sent by the association arriving soon?"
Just finished speaking.
The deputy director's phone rang. He looked down and then quickly looked up: "The car is here!"
He answered the phone as he spoke: "Hello, Secretary Zhou? Hello, hello. You've reached the intersection, right? Okay, fine. I'll let Engineer Mu out now."
Sit by the window on the bus.
Mu Yuan turned her head and looked at her colleagues standing outside the car to see her off. Her cold eyes and brows were filled with warmth and she waved to them.
Everyone waved to her hurriedly.
The deputy director was shouting, "Be careful!"
Mu Yuan chuckled and nodded.
The bus doors close automatically.
I heard the door close.
Mu Yuan lowered her eyelashes,
Looking at his new phone, he raised his hand and turned on airplane mode.
As for the one Huo Min gave.
She placed it on the coffee table in the hall of the apartment.
The one he gave me might have a locator installed.
She doesn't want to use it.
Then I looked at the road scenery outside the window.
A moment of distraction.
She is finally leaving.
By the time Huo Min discovered her, she might have already arrived in East City.
It's better to end like this.
No quarrels, no falling out.
Half a year.
Just right for her and him, adjusting everything back to the original time.
She tried her best to ignore the pain in her chest.
It won't hurt soon.
She thought absentmindedly.
