Shuxin realized that every time she got close to Huo Yanqing, her heart would beat faster than usual. Perhaps it was the powerful aura he exuded that instilled fear in her.
Shuxin stopped in her tracks and greeted him politely. "Good morning, Fifth Uncle."
"Mm." Huo Yanqing responded indifferently and stopped in his tracks. "Come here."
"Mm?" Shuxin was stunned for a moment and her reaction was slow. "Oh." She inched closer to Huo Yanqing.
Huo Yanqing reached out and grabbed Shuxin's shoulder. Now that he had a sense of direction, he placed his other hand on Shuxin's forehead. "Your fever has subsided. Do you still feel unwell anywhere?"
His palm was dry and warm. Through the thin chiffon blouse on her shoulders, the heat traveled from his hand to her skin and seeped into her muscles.
Shuxin's little heart pounded non-stop. Before she could react, he placed his other hand on her forehead and her cheeks instantly burned.
When he spoke, his warm breath cascaded down from the top of her head. Her nostrils were filled with his clean and mature scent. Shuxin found it difficult to breathe.
He shouldn't be "scaring" her so early in the morning. Her little heart couldn't take it.
Shuxin shrank back and escaped from Huo Yanqing's palm. "No … I'm all better now …"
"Mm." Huo Yanqing's lips curved into a faint smile. "After breakfast, I'll be going to your school to settle some matters. I'll drop you off on the way."
"… Thank you, Fifth Uncle." Shuxin didn't really want to sit in Huo Yanqing's car. Firstly, she would be nervous if she sat next to him. Secondly, his car was too ostentatious. If the people at school saw it, they might say some nasty things.
However, he wasn't driving her on purpose. He was just dropping her off, so she couldn't refuse.
When Huo Yanqing came downstairs again, he had already changed into an expensive shirt and tailored trousers. He exuded the refreshing scent of someone who had just taken a shower. It was clean and smelled good.
At the dining table, Shuxin buried her head in her porridge. The man sitting opposite her was too dazzling. She didn't dare to look at him. Occasionally, she would sneak a few glances at him. It took a long time for her heart to return to normal.
After breakfast, Shuxin followed Huo Yanqing out of the villa.
At the entrance of the villa, Huo Yanqing raised his right hand slightly. "Miss Shu."
Shuxin looked at him. She felt her heart palpitating when they held each other's hands... her face instantly, she blushed and her heart raced instantly..
With the experience from last time, Shuxin didn't hold the back of Huo Yanqing's hand this time. Instead, she obediently put her small hand into Huo Yanqing's dry and warm palm.
The corners of Huo Yanqing's lips curled up slightly, as if he was satisfied with her actions. He clenched the small hand in his palm tightly and said, "Miss Shu, you're too thin. You have to eat more in the future."
Shuxin felt that Huo Yanqing's action was a little intimate. It gave her the feeling that they were lovers. However, she quickly dismissed this thought and secretly despised herself.
Shuxin, wasn't yesterday's wishful thinking enough?
He was testing if you had a fever, but you misunderstood that he was touching your face.
He just can't see and asked you to lead the way. Why are you letting your imagination run wild?
Who is Huo Yanqing?
He's someone who stands at the top of the pyramid. Why would he be interested in a tender bean sprout like you?
Song Li stood at the entrance of the villa. From afar, he saw Huo Yanqing and Shuxin walking over hand in hand. He instantly understood.
