Lin Zhenzhen hurriedly put on her shoes and chased after him.

"Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo."

The woman's voice was soft and gentle, like the fine rain on a spring morning, drifting densely into his heart, making Huo Yeshuo even more irritable.

He stopped abruptly, turned around, and growled in a low voice, "Can't you just behave yourself for once?"

Those two small, white hands that were raised instantly froze in mid-air.

Lin Zhenzhen lowered her head: "Actually, I wanted to ask if you would like to use hand sanitizer to wash your hands?"

After she finished speaking, Huo Yeshuo could see clearly what the small transparent jar lying in his hand was.

He paused for half a second, then frowned and replied curtly, "No need."

Lin Zhenzhen lowered her eyes and slowly said "Oh".

Although it was just a single-syllable word, Huo Yeshuo could still hear the strong sobbing in it.

She sniffed hard, as if trying to hold her breath and prevent her tears from falling.

Huo Yeshuo should have ignored all of this, but that strange, unfamiliar feeling resurfaced in his heart, like being scratched by a cat.

"The hand sanitizer contains alcohol, and I'm allergic to alcohol." Even Huo Yeshuo himself couldn't help but frown after saying this.

He usually dislikes explaining the reasons for his actions, especially when the other party is just an insignificant stranger.

Huo Yeshuo tugged at his tie in frustration. What was wrong with him today?

"Mr. Huo, then please use this one; it's alcohol-free."

Huo Yeshuo turned his head and saw a stack of pinkish-white things.

It's a wet wipe.

This time he did not refuse. He took out two sheets and carefully wiped his entire right hand from fingertips to palm.

"Smells good, doesn't it?" Lin Zhenzhen seemed to have completely forgotten that she had just been scolded by the person in front of her, and smiled as she moved closer to him.

"This is a limited edition cherry blossom scent."

Huo Yeshuo paused, a faint fragrance wafting into his nostrils, but it didn't seem to be the scent of cherry blossoms, but rather...

His gaze couldn't help but linger on those pink and luscious lips.

"Mr. Huo?" Lin Zhenzhen touched her face. "Is there something dirty on my face?"

Huo Yeshuo seemed to wake from a dream. He turned around abruptly, clenching his fists in frustration.

All of this was too abnormal, which made Huo Yeshuo seriously consider where the problem was.

A moment later, he found the reason.

It must be because he hasn't been getting enough sleep lately, which has caused him to have difficulty concentrating, leading him to frequently make some unusual moves.

Huo Yeshuo glanced at his watch; it was almost eleven o'clock.

He took out his car keys and pressed the unlock button.

Not far away, a low-key black sports car flashed its headlights.

Lin Zhenzhen looked over and saw that the rear of the car was wide and flat, with a continuous taillight design and a handsome fastback line.

It has such a sporty feel; you'd never guess that Huo Yeshuo would drive it.

If Lin Zhenzhen was still a little uncertain, she opened the passenger door.

You can see the sporty steering wheel, the large metal panel in the center console with dense buttons, the floating center console, the integrated large screen, and the exaggerated design lines.

She suddenly realized that he was actually a repressed pervert!

Huo Yeshuo pressed the start button and took out a pair of silver-rimmed glasses from the glasses case inside the car.

He probably has mild myopia, but not severe, and he doesn't usually wear contact lenses.

The car was very clean, with no stains or dust, and not even a drop of water on the windshield.

Aside from the car's flamboyant lines, there were no extra decorations inside, only a square diffuser hanging from the air conditioning vent. The faint tea scent was very similar to the perfume Huo Yeshuo wore, suggesting they were from the same brand.

Night had fallen.

Outside the window, colorful neon lights shone brightly, and the skyscrapers in the city center were brightly lit. A huge LED screen was playing a video of a luxury brand endorsed by a celebrity.

Huo Yeshuo neither played any music nor spoke, remaining as quiet as a competent chauffeur.

Lin Zhenzhen's phone was broken, and she was tired of looking at the scenery outside the window, so she was so bored that she could only look down and play with her fingers.

Huo Yeshuo's phone suddenly rang.

Lin Zhenzhen glanced at it secretly; there were no notes, just a string of bare numbers.

Huo Yeshuo glanced at the caller ID and then hung up the phone with a cold expression.

Two seconds later, the phone rang again.

Huo Yeshuo once again pressed the hang-up button without any hesitation.

After repeating this several times, the car finally quieted down again.

Lin Zhenzhen was very perceptive; she turned her head to look out the window the moment Huo Yeshuo hung up the phone for the first time.

In the reflection of him in the car window, his features were sharp, his expression intense, and the coldness between his brows and eyes was so heavy that it seemed as if ice crystals could form.

Huo Yeshuo seems a bit different from the other characters he's pursued in his previous guides.

He is neither the male lead nor the second male lead.

In the original book, Huo Yeshuo wasn't even considered the third male lead; at most, he was just a tool used by the author to construct the world-building.

His background and identity are only briefly mentioned. His few appearances are all at the protagonist Lu Yangyun's family banquet, where he is just one of many figures in the background.

[This is unreasonable; it's unreasonable in every aspect.]

[What's unreasonable about this?] The system hesitated, [I think it makes perfect sense!]

Lin Zhenzhen's expression was serious: [First of all, as an ordinary passerby, he shouldn't be this handsome.]

[...]

What's with that speechless look on your face? Do you think I'm joking?

Lin Zhenzhen rolled her eyes: [Use your search function and pick any Mary Sue novel. Don't you see that every good-looking guy secretly falls for the female lead, wanting nothing more than to imprison, bind, and possess her?]

The system remained silent: [What you said seems to make some sense.]

That makes perfect sense, doesn't it? Secondly, a man like Huo Yeshuo has completely threatened the original male lead's position. He can't be just a background character; the moment he stands there, he steals everyone's attention.

Lin Zhenzhen stated unequivocally: "Put your hand on your heart and tell me, who's more handsome, Huo Yeshuo or Lu Yangyun?"

That was indeed Huo Yeshuo.

Lin Zhenzhen gave a soft hum.

Finally, even if such an ordinary, unremarkable character deviates from the established rules, it won't affect the stability of this small world at all.

[Uh...] A drop of non-existent cold sweat appeared on the system's head.

Lin Zhenzhen paused, her eyes suddenly turning sharp.

So why does the Imperial Transmigration program go to such lengths, even incurring exorbitant contribution points, insisting that I conquer it?
