Chapter 41 Reciprocity

Mu Yuan actually didn’t know either.

As soon as I left the Western restaurant, my feet uncontrollably walked towards the taxi area downstairs.

After getting in the taxi, he said quickly: "Master, please go to the Huo Group."

My mind and eyes are filled with: How is Huo Min?

She didn't think about why she came.

But at this moment when he asked me in person.

A lot of messy answers emerged in my mind.

"Because... you are sick." She answered hesitantly.

Huo Min's eyes grew darker: "Are you worried about me?"

Compared to answering, their current posture is really too indecent.

In case someone sees...

"You, you let me go first."

She suspected that she was infected by Huo Min.

Now she felt hot all over as if she had a fever.

Huo Min didn't let go, staring at her: "Tell me the reason, and I'll let go."

"You, you are my friend, of course I am worried about you..."

He interrupted quietly: "Is it really just because we are friends?"

Mu Yuan opened her mouth to answer: Yes.

But suddenly I felt as if my lips weighed a thousand pounds.

A strong wind blew.

The wind blew up the tips of her soft hair, brushing against Huo Min's cold and hard jaw.

The hair tip has crossed the line.

Her heart skipped a beat.

She pushed him away in a panic.

I didn't dare to look into Huo Min's deep eyes again.

Trying to draw a line: "Of course I came to see how you are because we are friends. After all, you helped me, so I will help you in return."

She thought she was calm.

Little did I know that my eyelashes were trembling like butterfly wings.

Seeing this, Huo Min curled his lips.

"Let's go, then, my friend?"

He emphasized the last two words and pronounced them particularly clearly.

It was as clear as if a ball of fire was thrown into Mu Yuan's heart, burning everything.

The red light at the intersection came on.

They stopped and waited.

Mu Yuan always felt that Huo Min was looking at her.

But when I glanced sideways quietly, I could only see his cold and hard profile.

She wondered if she was really infected.

My head feels dizzy.

The light is green.

She caught a glimpse of a passerby taking a step and reflexively raised her foot.

Suddenly, his wrist was grabbed.

Mu Yuan's eyes widened as she looked at Huo Min who was holding her in disbelief.

He just smiled nonchalantly: "Pay attention when crossing the street, my friend."

Mu Yuan’s eardrums were almost burning.

Why does the friend he mentioned sound so strange?

She was stunned, but gave him the opportunity to pull her across the street.

It wasn't until her feet stepped firmly on the curb opposite that she suddenly woke up.

I quickly pulled my hand back and met his gaze, my heart in turmoil: "I, will go on my own."

After she finished speaking, she quickened her pace, obviously wanting to leave him behind.

Staring at her fleeing back, Huo Min narrowed his eyes.

After all, the group is located in the city center and is surrounded by high-end office buildings.

Almost all of them have their own dining halls.

As for restaurants outside, there are very few.

I finally saw a noodle soup shop.

Mu Yuan stopped and looked at Huo Min who was walking leisurely behind him: "Want some noodle soup?"

Huo Min glanced at the limited environment of the noodle soup shop: "You want to eat?"

"There's nothing else to eat..."

"Then eat."

All the seats in the store were full, with only a single row of seats in the corner left vacant.

As soon as Mu Yuan sat down, Huo Min also sat down next to her.

The seat is not wide, just right for two slim women to sit on.

The problem is that Huo Min is a big guy, almost 1.9 meters tall.

As soon as he sat down, Mu Yuan was squeezed against the wall.

In addition, their arms inevitably touched each other.

Mu Yuan's whole body stiffened and he regretted sitting down.

"Did I squeeze you?" Huo Min looked at her sideways, but his body remained motionless.

Mu Yuan smiled wryly: "It's okay... This place is small..."

If she said she was squeezed, could he move away?

Huo Min saw everything about her hypocrisy.

The corners of his lips rose calmly, and he was extremely glad that he had decided to come into the noodle soup shop. Who would have thought that there was such a good seat inside?

Although the environment is pretty bad, but... they came together to such a down-to-earth place.

But for the first time, it unlocked a new experience between them.

There are more connections between them.

The soup noodles are served.

She raised her hand to eat noodles, but the space for movement was limited, and her elbow always accidentally hit Huo Min's arm.

"I'm sorry." She apologized hurriedly.

Huo Min said calmly, his arm remaining unchanged despite being hit several times: "It's okay."

It was really hard to eat a meal of noodles.

After finally finishing the meal, Huo Min stood up, and Mu Yuan's body stiffness instantly eased.

After paying the bill, Huo Min went to the bathroom.

She just stood outside and waited.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a man walking towards me.

She didn't care.

But the man walked up to her and stood still.

She had to turn her head and look at the other person in confusion.

He is a gentle boy wearing glasses.

He adjusted his glasses and smiled shyly: "Hi beautiful lady, can you add me on WeChat?"

Mu Yuan immediately understood that the other party was trying to strike up a conversation with her.

Her eyebrows unconsciously frowned and she was about to refuse.

A big hand reached into the waist.

The next second, I was embraced in a familiar warm embrace.

Mu Yuan turned around in surprise and saw Huo Min with a cold expression.

His voice was cold: "It's inconvenient."

When the boy saw their intimacy, he immediately understood: "Sorry."

Then he left in a hurry.

Mu Yuan had not yet recovered from Huo Min's sudden appearance.

The big hand on her waist withdrew, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, the fingertips brushed across her lower back, causing a tingling sensation.

"Full of face."

He commented sharply on the boy just now.

Mu Yuan was at a loss: "Actually... it's okay." To be fair, he was quite polite.

Huo Min looked at her dimly: "Men understand men best."

Mu Yuan: “…”

"I just helped my friend solve his bad love affair. No need to thank me."

Mu Yuan pursed her lips and thought to herself: She didn’t seem to mention thanking me?

The autumn-only carpet of dead leaves crackled underfoot.

The two of them walked aimlessly side by side.

This situation is rare.

If there was no Huo Min.

She can enjoy the autumn night view without distraction.

But he was right beside her, and his presence was so strong that she couldn't help but look over.

The fallen leaves rubbed against the black and white striped scarf and fell down again.

To be honest, her obviously casual scarf really clashes with his expensive high-end suit.

But his face with superior bone structure turned this conflict into a unique style.

Still handsome, and handsome in a lively way.

"Cold?"

He suddenly spoke.

Mu Yuan stared at the scarf and then her gaze moved up to his calm black eyes that had been cast at her at some point.

It took me two seconds to comprehend what he said.

When her tightly pursed pink lips parted, she said, "No."

"Then what are you looking at?"

He always has a cold face and asks tricky questions.

She couldn't say she was looking at his face, could she?

She hesitated. "I just think it's a little strange for you to wear this scarf with a suit."

"Ugly?"

"Of course not."

Huo Min's eyes were dim: "Is that beautiful?"

She said quickly: "It looks pretty good."

After he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong. He looked up and saw a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his sharp eyebrows were tinged with the softness of autumn.

"As long as it looks good."

It’s not just pretty, it’s very pretty.

She thought vaguely.

"Candied haws, selling candied haws." The vendor's shouting attracted their attention.

The boss saw them at the same time and smiled enthusiastically: "Handsome guy, buy your girlfriend a string of candied haws."

The word "girlfriend" made Mu Yuan's ears hot, and he subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to wave it away to deny it.

But she hasn't said anything yet.

Huo Min looked at her sideways: "Do you want to eat?"

She quickly said, "No."

In order to sell it, the boss said everything: "Oh, girls are reserved, handsome guy, just buy it and give it to the girl. When it comes to gifts, don't be too polite, just give it and be done with it."
