Chapter 296
…
The man was nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a delicate face and noble clothes. He stood in Mu Jiao's capsule tent. Mu Jiao suddenly felt that the intermediate tent, which she had always thought was quite good, suddenly became very small and closed.
The temperature in the room had been set to -25 degrees Celsius by Mu Jiao to save energy stones. After she led Huo Qi inside, Mu Jiao hurriedly adjusted the light and temperature on the wall by the door to a warm 28 degrees Celsius.
After doing this, Mu Jiao awkwardly asked Huo Qi to sit on the chair beside her: "Brother Qi, please go in and sit down first. I'll replace the energy stone first."
After saying that, Mu Jiao wanted to break free from Huo Qi's left hand and leave.
Now she and Brother Qi were the only ones in the room, and Mu Jiao felt very uncomfortable.
If it weren't for that sudden kiss after drinking that night, and those words... she wouldn't feel anything.
In Mu Jiao's mind, she respected Huo Qi as a senior and a brother.
Although Brother Qi was very busy in the past five years and they seldom met, the impression Huo Qi left on Mu Jiao was that of a tall and perfect man.
Mu Jiao knew that Huo Qi had a gentle and polite personality. When she first came to Chengtong Star, she was grateful for his care. He was also very knowledgeable and well-informed, and she could always broaden her horizons when chatting with him.
The most important point is that he is really grateful.
I had only saved him once before, accidentally. But five years ago on Frost Star, he had almost lost his life trying to save me...
In short, Mu Jiao was filled with gratitude and respect for Huo Qi... As for other things, she really hadn't thought about it.
But now, whenever Mu Jiao thought of what happened that night, she would feel the burning warmth of Huo Qi's palm, making her want to escape from this burning heat.
Fortunately, Huo Qi didn't say anything this time and just let go of Mu Jiao's hand.
Mu Jiao breathed a sigh of relief.
The groove for installing the energy stone is also on the wall of the small corridor at the entrance and exit, but compared to the light button and temperature adjustment knob, installing the energy stone is obviously more complicated.
The small aisle at the door was narrow, so Mu Jiao quickly turned sideways with her back to Huo Qi. This made it easier for her to open the groove of the energy stone and also made some space for Huo Qi to enter the house.
Mu Jiao opened the groove of the energy stone, and sure enough, as the monitor on the groove cover showed, there was only 2% of energy left, and the low-level energy stone inside had turned very gray.
Mu Jiao took out a replacement energy stone from the space button, and then quickly took out the energy stone that was almost exhausted and was about to replace it. At this time, a gentle voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
"Low-level energy stones won't last long. Let's just use high-level energy stones instead."
Mu Jiao felt a heat in her waist, and her back leaned against a strong and sturdy surface. Then, a large hand with distinct joints came from behind and came in front of her. It quickly pressed the ice-blue high-level energy stone in its hand into the empty groove and closed the lid...
The whole movement was smooth and flowing, and then Mu Jiao felt an additional warmth surrounding her waist.
The high-level energy stone lived up to its name. The moment it was placed there, the room temperature rose rapidly, instantly becoming more than one degree warmer...
However, Mu Jiao felt too hot. Her back was pressed against the boy's scorching chest, her ears were filled with warm breath, and there were iron arms around her waist that would not let her leave...
Being so close, she felt that her whole body was enveloped by Brother Qi's aura, which was like the scent of orchid musk, almost drowning her, making her want to go out and get some cool air to calm down.
Who tells her what to do in this situation???
