There’re Always Paranoid Thoughts to Monopolize Me - Chapter 26.1

There was a dead silence for a few seconds in the VIP area.

Wei Sheng opened and closed his mouth, struggling to speak. “What… what did you say? Did I mishear, Young Master Huo? Can you repeat what you just said?”

Huo Jun lazily glanced at him, his lips curling disdainfully, obviously unwilling to repeat himself.

He raised his foot and kicked Wei Sheng’s leg that was blocking the sofa.

“Make room, move inside.”

“… Oh, oh.”

Wei Sheng was stunned, moving into the sofa mechanically.

“Holy sh— ‘Master’ hahaha…”

The others finally came to their senses, with one of the guys almost laughing himself crazy.

“Young Master Huo, I don’t remember you ever dating before? Are you playing this wild from the start??”

Some of the others laughed too, but didn’t speak, not lacking in strange glances towards Qin Ke.

Qin Ke felt embarrassed inside.

She really hadn’t expected Huo Jun to speak so boldly, recklessly like a madman.

So when Huo Jun kicked Wei Sheng into the sofa, making room for two, and turned back to look behind him, he saw the girl standing at the bottom of the steps still with that beautiful face showing little emotion, but her fair skin had turned slightly pink.

Huo Jun revealed a pleased smile, reaching out towards the seat, still deliberately teasing Qin Ke.

“Won’t you sit — Master?”

“………..!”

Qin Ke wanted to find a crack in the ground to sink into.

“Hey, Young Master Huo, you can’t do this! What are you doing? How can you talk so dirty in broad daylight!”

It was still that guy who was laughing uncontrollably, gasping as he joked.

“Get lost.”

Huo Jun glanced away, chuckling as he cursed.

When he turned back, Qin Ke had already sat down next to him, her face tense as she tried her best to maintain an expressionless facade.

On Huo Jun’s other side, Wei Sheng finally snapped out of his petrified state. He stared at Qin Ke’s face in the dim light for a few seconds, “This lady…why do I feel like I’ve seen her before?”

“Of course you have.”

The Qiao Jin and Qiao Yu brothers had also stepped onto the platform by now, taking the empty seats opposite Huo Jun and Qin Ke. Qiao Jin high-fived the guy who had been laughing uncontrollably earlier as a greeting, then turned back to look mockingly at Wei Sheng.

“Because you’ve met her before.”

Wei Sheng: “?”

Wei Sheng: “When did I meet her??”

Qiao Jin: “Before the summer break this semester, when Bro Jun held that Qiande event, treating Hell like his own home for a party.”

“……”

With Qiao Jin’s hint, the confused look in Wei Sheng’s eyes gradually cleared as he followed a thread of memory.

At a certain point, an image flashed through his memory, and he suddenly clapped his hands—

“Ah! I remember now, the little beauty in the white dress!” He turned excitedly to look at Huo Jun. “Well done, Young Master Huo. You said you wouldn’t pursue her, but you ended up chasing her back after all.”

Huo Jun couldn’t be bothered to explain.

Taking advantage of the pause in conversation, Wei Sheng actively reached out his hand towards Qin Ke from under Huo Jun’s nose, “Hello, little beauty. I’m Wei Sheng. We met last time — being able to meet a second time is fate. Let’s get acquainted properly this time, so next time we meet, we’ll be friends—”

Before he could finish speaking, his hand was swatted away by Huo Jun.

Huo Jun lightly bit his back teeth, his eyes coldly flashing as he bared his teeth at Wei Sheng.

“Who do you want to be friends with?”

Wei Sheng: “……”

“Wei Sheng, I advise you not to court death,” Qiao Jin picked up a drink from the table across from them, tasting it while smiling with furrowed brows, “When it comes to our junior Qin Ke, I’ve truly witnessed Brother Jun’s ‘food guarding’ — you can’t get too close, or he’ll bite whoever he catches.”

“Really?”

Next to him, the guy who had been laughing non-stop earlier leaned forward curiously. “That precious?”

Qiao Yu chimed in, teasing. “Yeah, earlier I called her ‘Sister Qin Ke’ and Brother Jun nearly dealt with me on the spot.”

“Come on, Young Master Huo,” that person looked back, smiling, “Didn’t you bring her here to introduce her to us, and incidentally mark yourself as taken? If you guard her so closely, how are we supposed to get to know her?”

“……”

Huo Jun lazily lifted an eyelid, slightly narrowing his eyes as he stared at the other person for a few seconds, before finally relaxing his expression. He sat up straight, then leaned back into the sofa, letting out a light chuckle, which was taken as tacit permission.

The person across from him laughed cheerfully, turning to look at Qin Ke:

“My name is Dou Yingjie, next to me is Qi Yiming, and the one furthest inside is Jiang Chuang. You should already know Wei Sheng and Qiao Jin and Qiao Yu, right?”

“……”

Although Qin Ke didn’t want to get familiar with these people who were clearly not from her world, she didn’t want to embarrass Huo Jun.
