Chapter 116: You can’t talk about people during the day, and you can’t talk about ghosts at night
Mu Yuan's whole body was as stiff as a piece of wood.
His eyes were fixed on Huo Min.
Trying to find out his real reason from his face.
But soon, it failed.
Huo Min locked the car, a casual smile on his lips, and raised his arm to hold her shoulders: "Okay, come inside, it's windy outside, don't catch a cold."
Mu Yuan wanted to hide to the side.
But his hands were tightly holding my shoulders.
Mu Yuan couldn't break free.
In addition, there are eyes everywhere in the old house.
She didn't dare make any big, suspicious movements.
She had no choice but to let him carry her into the house.
Not long after entering the house, Mu Yuan's cell phone rang.
It’s Zhou Yuanmei.
I know she's coming back today.
So I called her to make an appointment.
Mu Yuan swiped to answer the call: [Hello? Meimei?]
She glanced at Huo Min who followed in, and subconsciously walked towards the window in the other direction.
Seeing this, Huo Min raised his eyebrows slightly. He turned his toes, which were about to go to the stairs, and walked to the sofa, folded his long legs, and sat down.
He picked up a magazine from the table and flipped through it casually.
Just by sitting there, his presence is too strong.
Mu Yuan answered the phone while observing his movements out of the corner of her eye.
Mu Yuan: [Okay, let’s eat together at noon, I’ll come find you.]
Make an appointment with Zhou Yuanmei for the venue.
Mu Yuan held the phone, turned sideways, and met Huo Min's gaze: "Want to go out?"
Mu Yuan said in a clear voice: "Yeah."
Huo Min closed the magazine he hadn't even read: "Where are you going? I'll take you there."
Mu Yuan immediately said: "No need!"
But we can’t let Zhou Yuanmei see it.
It will be difficult to explain then.
Huo Min just heard her calling the other person: Meimei.
This is her best friend, he knows.
This happened once before when he saw her caller ID and asked her casually, and she told him.
Huo Min raised his thin lips slightly: "Or, should I join your dinner? I've only heard you mention her before, but I've never met her."
Mu Yuan's eyes widened: "No, she doesn't know our relationship."
Huo Min said nonchalantly: "This time, let her know that she can meet the real person by the way, right?"
He looked distracted, and Mu Yuan couldn't tell whether he was joking or serious.
She frowned slightly: "No need, anyway we..." She wanted to say that they would get divorced eventually, so there was no need to get to know Zhou Yuanmei.
But when the words came to her lips, she met his dark eyes and instinctively considered: "I haven't seen her for a long time, and there are many topics to talk about."
He also specifically emphasized: "It is a topic for women."
What it means is: As a man, you are not suitable to be here.
Huo Min understood, but did not force her any further.
His fingertips tapped the armrest intermittently, his deep eyes filled with scrutiny: "In that case, I won't go."
Mu Yuan's tense nerves suddenly relaxed.
Fortunately, he didn't insist.
Huo Min's tone was casual, but his dark eyes were sharp and meaningful: "Come back soon, I'll wait for you at home."
It's obviously a very simple sentence.
But he looked at her from mid-air, and his gaze, which was still as gloomy as ever, made her feel strange in her heart.
Mu Yuan curled her fingertips slightly.
I instinctively felt that something was not right.
Huo Min was really weird today.
For a long time, his gaze was persistent, as if he would not look away until he got her definite answer.
Mu Yuan frowned slightly and finally responded, "I understand."
The sharpness in Huo Min's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a gentleness: "Go."
He picked up the magazine again and began to flip through it aimlessly.
Mu Yuan stared at him for a few seconds and suppressed the strange feeling in her heart.
I went upstairs to get my bag, put on my shoes and went out.
On the sofa, Huo Min threw away the magazine he had held upside down, a hint of interest flashing across his eyes.
-
Thai restaurant.
Mu Yuan arrived at the scene.
The first thing he did was to pull Zhou Yuanmei's ears.
Zhou Yuanmei, with her neatly short hair and the latest black and white Chanel-style outfit, exquisitely detailed down to every strand of hair, bared her teeth, completely losing the ladylike look that this outfit should have given her. "Ouch, it hurts! Sister, I was wrong~!"
Mu Yuan gritted her teeth and said, "I'm helping you with the blind date, and you just gave my phone number away?"
That night, when he received a call from Gu Chenyi in front of Huo Min.
She was worried about being discovered.
Although it was discovered later.
But when she thought about the core of breaking the boundary of her and Huo Min's "friendship", it was Gu Chenyi.
It was she who provoked Gu Chenyi in order to help Zhou Yuanmei deal with the blind date.
So that everything went from bad to worse.
Mu Yuan's strength in his hands increased instantly.
She rushed ahead.
This guy stabbed her in the waist from behind.
Zhou Yuanmei cried, "I was forced that day. That guy Gu Chenyi threatened me that if I didn't send him your contact information, he would tell my mom that I had found someone to replace you on the blind date. You know my mom's personality. She would beat me to death."
Mu Yuan saw with his own eyes how bad his aunt's temper was.
Finally, he warned: "If you do it again, I will end my friendship with you!"
Zhou Yuanmei shuddered and hurriedly rubbed her hands to apologize: "There will definitely not be a next time! I promise!"
Only then did Mu Yuan let go.
Zhou Yuanmei quickly rubbed her ears in pain: "No wonder you don't need to exercise. The strength you gain from moving flowers is much heavier than lifting weights."
Mu Yuan looked at her coldly: "You want your other ear pulled too?"
Zhou Yuanmei quickly apologized with a smile: "Hey, I was just kidding."
She turned around and called the waiter over: "Beauty, come on, my friend is here, the food can be served."
When the dishes were served, the table looked almost full.
Mu Yuan frowned slightly: "Why did you order so much!"
Zhou Yuanmei chuckled, "Oh, consider this my apology. Eat and drink as much as you want today! I'll pay!"
Mu Yuan picked up a piece of fish and chewed it: "Auntie has restored your bank card?"
Zhou Yuanmei pouted. "Well, I did want to, but unfortunately, it's not. I just received my annual national award for doctoral students. It's not much, but it can barely support me for a while."
Mu Yuan was surprised: "It's been so long and I still haven't re-opened your bank card? It seems that Auntie is really trying to get you married this time."
Zhou Yuanmei bit the tip of her chopsticks when she thought about it, her face full of distress. "Don't mention it. Ever since my last blind date with Gu Chenyi fell through, my mom has been looking for blind dates for me one after another. Each one is really worse than the last. By comparison, Gu Chenyi is the most outstanding."
When Gu Chenyi was mentioned, Mu Yuan became slightly distracted.
Ever since our last unpleasant meeting.
He didn't harass her again.
It's like he disappeared from the face of the earth.
Well, this is better.
They are from two different worlds and are not suitable to be friends.
Zhou Yuanmei saw her reaction and a gossipy look suddenly appeared on her face: "Hey! You haven't told me what's going on between you and Gu Chenyi."
Mu Yuan frowned: "What could possibly happen between him and me? If it weren't for you, he and I would never have met in this life."
Zhou Yuanmei stuck out her tongue awkwardly. "Hey, this is indeed my fault, but! Gu Chenyi is very interested in you! He called me desperately just to get your contact information. What on earth did you do to make this unruly young master fall in love with you?"
Mu Yuan was speechless: "I didn't do anything."
Even when they met, they were very rude to him.
As a result, the young master got carried away. Maybe he has a masochistic constitution.
Zhou Yuanmei looked at him with a look of "You are hiding this from me": "How is it possible? You don't even know him... Shit!" She suddenly exclaimed in a low voice.
Mu Yuan was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Zhou Yuanmei was seen staring back in shock.
Puzzled, she followed her gaze.
The person Zhou Yuanmei was staring at was... Gu Chenyi.
However, he was not alone. He was accompanied by a woman who was dressed as a lady, obviously a rich girl.
Mu Yuan was speechless. It was true that one could not talk about people during the day and could not talk about ghosts at night.
Can you even encounter this?
As if sensing something.
Gu Chenyi suddenly looked over, his face showing annoyance.
It quickly transformed into a surprise.
