There’re Always Paranoid Thoughts to Monopolize Me - Chapter 10.1

Facing Huo Jun, who seemed to have touched some unknown nerve, Qin Ke sighed helplessly in her mind.

“Huo Jun Se…”

She stopped herself just in time before the last word, remembering someone’s threat, Qin Ke automatically skipped the address—

“This matter shouldn’t have anything to do with you, right?”

Huo Jun squinted his eyes slightly, his expression looking a bit dangerous.

He stared at Qin Ke for a few seconds. Seeing that the girl showed no signs of backing down or confessing, Huo Jun suppressed his temper and irritability, and his mouth twitched.

“Then you tell me, was it for your boyfriend at that time?”

Qin Ke: “…”

Qin Ke: “?”

This person probably had more than just a regular mental problem.

But Qin Ke obviously didn’t dare to speak out at this moment, she could only suppress her sigh and whispered, “High school students shouldn’t engage in early love, senior.”

The ink-colored flame in Huo Jun’s eyes jumped.

A few seconds later, he chuckled in a low voice.

“You’ve never had a boyfriend?”

“…”

Qin Ke held back, and didn’t throw the words “I’m 16 this year” onto his handsome face.

And the fact was, facing the inexplicably a bit perverted excitement in this man’s eyes, her intuition also told her not to do so.

It would end very badly.

So, Qin Ke obediently nodded.

“No.”

“…Good.”

Huo Jun stood up straight.

Qin Ke: “?”

What good?

The young man didn’t speak anymore, just lowered his eyes to look at her, the starlight in his dark pupils jumping wildly.

After a moment, he lightly licked his lips.

With a hand in his pocket, Huo Jun turned and walked away, leaving only his lazy and slightly malicious laughter behind—

“Calling me ‘senior’ won’t work either.”

Qin Ke: “…”

Huo Jun was crazy.

After standing for a few seconds, she also turned around and went into the dressing room.

****

A few minutes earlier.

Qin Yan clenched her fists, standing stiffly next to the wooden stairs where the performers were taking their bows. Her gaze was fixed on the dressing room door diagonally across from behind the curtain.

“Yan Yan, what are you doing standing here?”

A department member’s voice came from behind, and Qin Yan quickly composed herself, “…Nothing.”

But the other person had already followed her gaze to the outside of the dressing room—a tall and long-legged boy was using his height advantage to block a girl in a little white dance dress at the entrance of the dressing room.

He was leaning over, seemingly saying something to the girl. From this angle, the two of them couldn’t be more ambiguous.

The department member was stunned for a moment, lowering her voice in surprise. “That’s Huo Jun and Qin Ke, right? What’s going on with them? And the fact that Huo Jun agreed to accompany the performance earlier…Could it be that Huo Jun really likes Qin Ke?”

“——Of course not!”

Qin Yan blurted out without thinking, and only after she finished speaking did she realize her gaffe, she quickly covered it up with a forced laugh.

“Xiao Ke is my sister, if there was really something between them, how could I possibly not know?”

“That’s true.”

The department member responded, and was then called away by someone else.

Qin Yan still stood in place, staring intently in Qin Ke’s direction, until the two of them separated.

Only then did Qin Yan turn around, preparing to go back.

But she had just taken two steps when she ran into another deputy head of the Literature and Art Department, Gao Hao.

Gao Hao was also the class grass in Qin Yan’s class, and the two of them had been a bit ambiguous since their first year of high school. If it weren’t for Qin Yan still thinking about Huo Jun, the two of them might have been together last semester.

“Were you looking for me?”

Seeing Gao Hao a few meters away, his gaze fell on her, and the complexity and jealousy in her heart due to the previous scene faded a bit.

She gave Gao Hao a beautiful smile.

If it had been before, Gao Hao would have been so dazzled by her that he wouldn’t know which way was up.

But today, Gao Hao only glanced at Qin Yan, then shifted his gaze behind her, and after looking around, he finally dropped his gaze back in disappointment.

“Mm, I came to find you.”

“…”

Qin Yan’s smile froze on her face.

She had a feeling that something was off about Gao Hao’s mood, and before she could verify it herself, she heard Gao Hao carefully ask, “I heard from the department that Qin Ke is your sister?”

Qin Yan stiffened.
