There’re Always Paranoid Thoughts to Monopolize Me - Chapter 13.1

After enduring the torment of military training for half a morning, Qin Ke suddenly realized a problem – apart from the three years in her previous life when she studied dance in art high school, her physical strength had never been good.

At this point in time, just starting high school, and having just experienced a year of middle school entrance examination torture, her physical strength was even worse.

If it could be said that the other students were only slightly uncomfortable due to the long journey and exposure to the sun, then her body’s reaction at this moment was probably closer to…

Qin Ke reached out and tested the temperature of her forehead.

Then she sighed silently.

—–

Mild heatstroke.

Just now, she had been gritting her teeth and insisting on following the team. She didn’t feel anything at the time, but now that she had stopped to rest, her body felt weak, as if she could collapse at any moment.

As everyone was too tired to care, they sat down on the ground and took out their prepared lunches. The mixed smells of various foods hit her nose.

Qin Ke frowned, subconsciously reaching out to press her stomach–

A nauseating feeling was brewing inside.

“Ke Ke, why aren’t you eating anything?”

Sitting next to Qin Ke, Gu Xinqing saw that Qin Ke hadn’t moved much since she sat down, and couldn’t help but turn to look at her curiously.

After looking, Gu Xinqing was stunned.

“Why is your face…especially your cheeks, they seem to be pink?”

“It should be sunburn.” Qin Ke raised her hand and lightly pressed her burning cheek, “My skin is…sensitive.”

Qin Ke had always been the type to get a red mark on her body with a pinch. After being exposed to the sun for a morning, the most delicate skin on her face couldn’t stand it, bringing out a sickly pink color.

In addition to her poor physical strength, in her previous life, she didn’t know how many times she had driven Huo Zhonglou “crazy” because of this…

Qin Ke shook her head and pursed her slightly dry lips.

It seemed she really was sunburned.

Otherwise, why would she think of him…

“You’re sunburned, aren’t you?”

Gu Xin Qing reacted and asked anxiously, “Do you want me to find the instructor?”

“Isn’t the instructor in a meeting?” Qin Ke shook her head, “Let’s wait for him to come back.”

“Okay. But your voice sounds weak, are you feeling unwell?”

“It’s okay, I can bear it…”

Before Qin Ke could finish her sentence, a tall shadow stretched out in front of her from above.

The shadow stopped.

Qin Ke looked up. The person was standing against the light, with the golden sun behind him, dazzling her eyes.

Qin Ke instinctively raised her hand to shield her eyes. Only then, with the help of the shadow, could she see the person clearly.

A black baseball cap, a cold white handsome face.

Huo Jun.

Obviously, Qin Ke was not the first one to notice him coming over. By this second, the complaints about the weather and the training around her were slowly suppressed to the point of being inaudible.

Even the sound of people chewing their lunch next to her seemed to be suppressed to the lightest.

And Qin Ke really didn’t have the strength or the mood to deal with Huo Jun at the moment. So after she made eye contact with Huo Jun for two seconds, she spoke softly.

“Do you need something?”

But Huo Jun didn’t speak.

His gaze was slightly cold when he stopped, and at this moment, his eyes swept up and down the girl, his eyebrows furrowed.

“—Did you get heatstroke?”

“…”

Qin Ke was taken aback.

She really didn’t expect Huo Jun to notice, and it only took him two seconds.

So before she had time to compose her words, Huo Jun had already squatted down with a stern look on his face.

He reached out, his long fingers closed together, and pressed the back of his hand to the girl’s forehead.

Qin Ke was stunned.

Both by the cool temperature of his hand and by this sudden intimacy.

By the time she came to her senses and wanted to dodge, it was already too late.

Gu Xinqing next to her didn’t care about being afraid of Huo Jun at this moment, and quickly asked anxiously, “Did Ke Ke really get heatstroke??”

Huo Jun’s eyes were slightly cold.

His dark eyes swept over Qin Ke with a hint of hostility.

Then, in his squatting position, he suddenly leaned forward–his hands pressed against the girl’s slender legs and thin shoulders.

Huo Jun directly picked up the girl horizontally.

“Holy…”

“Look quickly!”

“What are you looking at, don’t push–Holy…”

“…..”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Someone didn’t hold onto their lunch box, and the soup was accidentally knocked over by another startled student, spilling half of it.

With the screams as background noise, in the gradually spreading chaos, Huo Jun held the girl with a gloomy expression, passing through the three elite classes resting on the spot, all the way to the shade of the trees.

Even Qiao Jin and Qiao Yu, who initially just wanted to watch the excitement, were startled by this scene, scrambling to get up or move aside.

Qin Ke was going crazy.

—

Huo Jun had given her no warning, nor a second to prepare. By the time she came to her senses, she was already sitting on a rock in the shade of the trees.

“Huo Jun, you…” Amid the shocked gazes, Qin Ke’s voice trembled with annoyance, and she angrily pushed away his hand, “—Are you sick?”

She lowered her voice to scold him.

Her flushed cheeks turned even redder.

Even at this time, she was still mindful of saving face for him, deliberately lowering her voice.

Huo Jun lowered his head.

After staring at her for a few seconds, he suddenly laughed silently.

“Yes, I am sick.”

His eyes were slightly hostile, the ink-like color stirring restlessly inside, as if he wanted to etch her into his eyes with his intense gaze.

Huo Jun raised his hand, took off his baseball cap, and put it on the girl’s head—

He smirked, laughing coldly.

“Rabies.”

“…”

“If you’re smart, behave. If I bite you, you’ll die.”

“…”

He leaned forward, his voice had been sunbathed for a long time, lazy and hoarse.

“Or maybe, you’ll be eaten without even leaving a bone.”

After saying that, he even chuckled.

Qin Ke: “…”

What did rabies do wrong to be slandered by you?
