"Are you so concerned about my whereabouts? Or do you want to take me home?" Ruan Wushuang raised an eyebrow.
“It’s not safe for a woman like you to walk alone at night,” Huo Minxue said without refusing.
Ruan Wushuang smiled and didn't say anything more, just carried the cat and walked ahead.
Huo Minxue remained silent for a moment, but finally followed.
Hearing the footsteps behind her, Ruan Wushuang felt even better, and her steps slowed down considerably.
No matter how slowly you walk, this road will eventually come to an end.
When Ruan Wushuang saw the door of his own shop, he stopped, turned around, and his gaze fell on Huo Minxue, who was a meter away.
"Why are you so far away from me?" He had maintained this distance from the very beginning.
Not too far, not too close, just enough for her to sense his presence.
“You are, after all, a woman. If we get too close, it could damage your reputation,” Huo Minxue said.
Ruan Wushuang laughed out loud when she heard this.
"Have you never been in a relationship before?"
Huo Minxue's expression froze instantly, and the hand gripping his briefcase tightened inexplicably.
“You really haven’t dated anyone.” Ruan Wushuang knew she had guessed right as soon as she saw Huo Minxue’s expression.
"You're home now, so I'll head back first." Huo Minxue didn't know how to answer Ruan Wushuang's question, so he turned and walked back.
"Fool!" Ruan Wushuang called out to him.
Huo Minxue subconsciously turned around.
"What's your name?" Ruan Wushuang called out.
It was only at this point that Huo Min realized that he and Ruan Wushuang hadn't introduced themselves yet, and they didn't even know each other's names.
But why do I have this illusion that I've known you for many years?
"What, you won't even tell me your name?" Ruan Wushuang raised an eyebrow.
"Huo Minxue." Huo Minxue's thin lips parted slightly.
“Huo Minxue? You sound like a good student. No wonder you work at the research institute. My name is Ruan Wushuang, Wushuang as in unparalleled in the world. Got it?” Ruan Wushuang’s eyebrows were raised.
“…Hmm.” Huo Minxue nodded slightly.
Satisfied, Ruan Wushuang turned and went into the shop.
Only when the door slowly closed did Huo Minxue come to his senses and turn to walk home step by step.
When he got home, it was indeed late again.
The rest of the family had already finished eating, but Tang Chunlan left some food for him.
However, Huo Jianguo and Tang Chunlan went to his uncle's place, leaving only Su Miaomiao at home.
"Second brother, you're late again today." Su Miaomiao sat on the sofa watching TV.
"Something came up and I was held up," Huo Minxue said slowly.
“Your work is so busy. Mom left some food for you in the kitchen. It should still be warm.” Su Miaomiao said.
"I've already eaten."
Upon hearing this, Su Miaomiao's gaze instantly shifted from the television in front of her to Huo Minxue, her eyes filled with an undeniable scrutiny.
"Little sister, why are you... looking at me like that?" Huo Minxue asked nervously.
"Second brother, as far as I know, your company only provides Chinese food, right?" Su Miaomiao narrowed her dark eyes slightly.
"yes."
"Where did you have dinner? A company dinner? Or... did you have dinner with some girl?" Su Miaomiao drawled out the last syllable of her question.
Cough cough...
Huo Minxue was so frightened that he coughed repeatedly, his face turning bright red.
"Second brother, why are you so excited? Could it be that I guessed right? You're dating someone?!" Su Miaomiao stared intently at Huo Minxue.
