Chapter 187 No Status
Mu Yuan had never experienced an earthquake.
It would be a lie to say there is no panic.
Especially since they were in an area that had been destroyed beyond recognition by the earthquake.
High-rise buildings built of concrete can be razed to the ground in an instant.
What's more, we have flesh and blood.
It collapses at the first touch.
The whole floor was shaking.
Mu Yuan even felt like she was losing her balance.
But when being wrapped in Huo Min's warm and safe embrace.
Panic and fear miraculously turned into a pool of water and slowly evaporated from the bottom of my heart.
There were sounds of unrest outside.
At this moment, they were all overwhelmed by surging emotions.
She felt his heartbeat and his temperature.
The noise around seemed to turn into silence at this moment.
I don’t know how long it took.
The shaking gradually stopped.
Everyone exclaimed: "It finally stopped.", "I was so scared, luckily everyone is okay.", "Oh, this is shaking my brain so hard it's about to pop out."
Amidst the noise.
Huo Min lowered his voice and called her at a decibel level that only the two of them could hear: "Yuanyuan, it's okay."
Mu Yuan withdrew from his arms.
Her almond-shaped eyes, filled with confusion, met his deep black eyes.
The worry in his eyes was like a deep pool.
It drew all her thoughts into it.
Huo Min saw that she was staring at him without saying a word.
His expression suddenly turned stern, and he said in a deep voice filled with worry: "What's wrong? Are you injured somewhere?"
He was so anxious that he wanted to check her body thoroughly.
His hand was just about to touch her.
But she grabbed his wrist.
Huo Min's black pupils froze.
Subconsciously, I glanced at the people around me.
Everyone was comforting and sighing to each other.
In addition, the environment is dim.
No one noticed.
In the corner, they were too close.
Maybe someone noticed.
However, because they are in a superior-subordinate relationship, they may ignore and doubt other relationships.
Mu Yuan doesn't like to make their relationship public.
Huo Min knew it very well.
He thought she must have been frightened by the aftershock just now.
Only then will you forget to avoid suspicion at the moment.
He coaxed her softly, "It's okay, the aftershocks have stopped. Come, I'll help you up."
Mu Yuan stood up with his help.
But she still didn't let go of his hand.
Huo Min glanced at him, his eyes filled with confusion, and lowered his voice: "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me?"
Mu Yuan's emotions were surging.
now.
She has a thousand words to say.
But it slowly turned into a sentence: "I'm fine, how about you?"
Huo Min's eyes flashed with surprise, then a smile filled them. He gently rubbed the back of her hand with his fingertips. "I'm standing right in front of you, aren't I?" he asked soothingly.
Mu Yuan gently raised her lip.
He drooped his eyelashes and fell into deep thought.
"Mu Yuan, are you okay?"
Wait for the aftershocks to stop.
Gu Chenyi immediately stood up and searched in the dark.
Finally saw Mu Yuan.
Running here in a hurry.
His eyes fell on their clasped hands.
His eyes widened immediately and he instinctively used his body to block them.
"What are you two doing? Why don't you separate? Aren't you afraid of being discovered?!" He whispered in shock.
absurd.
There are so many people here.
They didn't even hide their identity as an underground couple.
Huo Min frowned, confused: "What was discovered?"
Gu Chenyi was puzzled: "You are not underground..."
There was no time to say the word "couple".
Mu Yuan, who had reacted, interrupted him in time: "Gu Chenyi!"
How could she have forgotten about this?
I did it before to fool Gu Chenyi.
She deliberately said: She is Huo Min's secret lover.
Huo Min must not know about this.
Otherwise, if he knew that she had been on a blind date before...
Mu Yuan instinctively avoids trouble.
She glanced guiltily at Huo Min, who was completely unaware of the situation.
She quickly released her grip on his hand and deliberately changed the subject: "The aftershocks are over, can we go out now?"
Gu Chenyi's attention was successfully diverted: "Not yet, the villagers just said we have to wait a while."
Huo Min's scrutinizing gaze lingered on Mu Yuan's face for a few seconds.
Until she opened her eyes and looked.
He curled his lips slightly, his eyes returning to normal: "It's okay to wait a moment, safety first."
Seeing that he was no longer suspicious, Mu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart: "Well, then we can only wait."
They left the shock-absorbing emergency point one after another.
Everyone was scared.
Saw the earthquake on TV.
Seeing it with your own eyes and feeling it with your own eyes are two different concepts.
As soon as Mu Yuan walked out, he received a video call from the deputy dean.
She was stunned.
Once connected.
I saw a screen full of colleagues anxiously asking, "Are you okay, Mr. Mu?" and "We saw the report that there was another earthquake in Dongcheng. We were so scared!"
Mu Yuan felt warm in her heart and said to everyone with a smile: "Thank you everyone, I'm fine."
The deputy director squeezed in from the edge of the camera: [Du Miao! You must pay attention to your safety!]
Mu Yuan smiled: [Okay, thank you, Vice Dean, and thank you everyone.]
She was busy replying to everyone.
Didn't see it.
Huo Min, who was following behind her, slowed down and stopped Gu Chenyi with his arm across.
Gu Chenyi's eyebrows were unruly: "What are you doing?"
Huo Min's expression was indifferent: "Chat?"
Gu Chenyi glanced at Mu Yuan, who was smiling and making a video call with her back to them. After a moment's thought, he said straightforwardly, "Let's chat."
Under the shade of the trees.
The sandstorms caused by the earthquake are becoming more serious.
Blown into the wind and seeping into people's eyes.
Huo Min narrowed his eyes subconsciously, and the sternness in his eyes became even stronger.
Because of the wind and sand, and also because of what Gu Chenyi blurted out.
"I like Mu Yuan." he said.
Huo Min curled his lips coldly: "Then you can only like him in vain."
Gu Chenyi snorted coldly: "That's not necessarily true. After all, a relationship that is not to be seen by others will not last long."
Huo Min raised his chin slightly, his brows sharp, "I think you're the only one who's ashamed of yourself, always pestering other people's partners."
"Oh, do you think everyone is as irresponsible as you? I'm pursuing her seriously, and what about you? You like her, but you won't even give her a name. What kind of man are you?"
A hint of deep meaning flashed across Huo Min's eyes: "How do you know I didn't give you a name?"
Gu Chenyi scorned: "Nonsense, the outside world only knows your girlfriend, no, your ex is Tang Nana, what about Mu Yuan? She is just your unknown underground lover."
Huo Min raised his eyebrows: "Underground lover?"
Gu Chenyi seemed to have opened up his resentful mouth, saying one thing after another: "I really don't understand why she would like a playboy and irresponsible man like you. She would rather follow you without any status. If it were me, I would definitely tell the world that I have a beautiful and outstanding girlfriend. I won't let her feel sad."
"So, she told you that she was my secret lover?"
"Yes, but I tell you, if you let her down again, she will become your former secret lover, because I will definitely snatch her away."
Huo Min said indifferently, "Stop dreaming."
"Dreaming? Ha, if it weren't for you, maybe we would be talking about marriage now. I think you are too confident."
Huo Min said coldly: "What do you mean?"
The more Gu Chenyi thought about it, the more he felt that God was playing a trick on him. It was a fake blind date, but he really fell in love with Mu Yuan.
But, it’s only one-sided love.
He refused to accept the suggestion and said, "If it weren't for the fact that she likes you so much and I couldn't bear to see her saddened by stealing her love, I would have made this a reality even if she wasn't my real blind date!"
Huo Min's pupils shrank suddenly at the word 'blind date'.
