There’re Always Paranoid Thoughts to Monopolize Me - Chapter 3.2

However, before Qin Ke could speak, Huo Jun, who had lazily closed his eyes, raised his gaze.

“You’re obedient, aren’t you.” He tilted his head to the side, looking at Qin Ke, lazily smiling in an improper manner, but his eyes were cold—

“Sit next to me.”

“…”

Qin Ke’s figure stiffened slightly.

Huo Jun chuckled, “What’s wrong, you don’t want to now?”

Qin Ke lowered her eyes, her delicate eyelashes curling up in a beautiful arc.

“It’s too crowded.”

Her voice was very soft, as if it would disperse into countless fluffs with a blow from the sound waves below the stage, drilling into every pore of a person’s body.

Huo Jun felt an inexplicable irritation in his heart.

He stepped on the crystal table, his long straight leg bending up to form a sharp line, blocking the girl’s legs.

His gaze pressed down, and Huo Jun hooked up a malicious smile.

“Then sit on my lap—there’s plenty of room here.”

“…”

Qin Ke was stunned for a moment.

The brothers Qiao Jin and Qiao Yu, who were clinking glasses across the table, turned around in surprise and huddled together to whisper.

“Did Brother Jun take the wrong medicine? Doesn’t he usually hate it when girls cling to him?”

“I don’t know.”

Wei Sheng, being clever, turned his eyes around and spoke with a grin, “Young Master Huo, look at you being so fierce, you’re going to scare your little sister again. Miss Qin Ke, don’t be afraid, I’ll move a bit to the side, then it won’t be so crowded.”

“…”

Qin Ke hesitated for a moment, feeling Huo Jun’s gaze slowly focusing on her, she finally nodded.

“Thank you.”

After the girl said softly, she gathered up the hem of her white skirt and sat down in the empty space on the sofa between Huo Jun and Wei Sheng.

The sofa was surprisingly soft, and as she sat down, she sank in deeply. Qin Ke was wearing a white dress that she had bought over a year ago, which had originally been a bit short due to the girl’s rapid growth. As she sat down, the dress slid further up her legs.

Her slender, pale legs were eye-catching.

Feeling a scorching gaze from beside her, Qin Ke lowered her face uncomfortably and reached down to pull her skirt hem as far down her knees as possible.

Amid the noisy music, a low chuckle could be faintly heard. Soon after, a black lightweight jacket was thrown onto the girl’s lap.

Qin Ke’s fingertips paused, and she instinctively turned to look at Huo Jun beside her.

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Ke softly said, “Thank you.”

The boy with his eyes lowered didn’t look at her, he swirled the glass in his hand, his clear and cold side profile showed no emotion.

“You came to Hell just to say thank you?”

“!”

Qin Ke was startled, she hastily looked up.

She didn’t see any hidden meaning on that person’s face, only then did Qin Ke let out a sigh of relief.

Then she realized, Huo Jun was referring to her saying thanks to Wei Sheng earlier.

“No.” Qin Ke lowered her voice, “I…have something to say to you.”

“—To me?”

Huo Jun finally lifted his head, his sharp eyebrows raised slightly.

He put down his glass, a bit of light flickered in his eyes, it seemed like mockery but also seemed like a more dangerous emotion.

“Then say it.”

Qin Ke’s words were stuck in her throat.

She always felt that Huo Jun seemed to have misunderstood something. Otherwise, the way he looked at her shouldn’t be like this… making her feel as if she was being targeted by something.

A feeling of unease began to erode Qin Ke’s heart, she suddenly felt that she might have made a mistake tonight.

—She might have provoked someone she shouldn’t have.

Qin Ke bit her lip.

But at this point, she had no choice but to proceed.

Moreover, she couldn’t just ignore the boy who had once rushed into the explosion scene of the crew to save her in her previous life.

Having thought this through, Qin Ke made up her mind.

She leaned forward slightly, trying to get as close as possible to Huo Jun’s ear.

“Don’t take the back alley tonight, there are more than a dozen people lying in ambush for you there. They…they want to break your hand.”

“……”

Huo Jun’s glass paused in his hand, the girl’s voice by his ear had an involuntary tremble.

“Don’t underestimate them.”

“……”

The smell of smoke and alcohol in his nostrils was completely dispersed by the sudden approach of a faint floral scent. That fragrance stirred the pitch-black chaos in Huo Jun’s eyes.

“Someone wants to drug your drink.”

“…Who?”

Huo Jun finally came to his senses, looked up, and suddenly smiled, “You?”

Qin Ke was slightly annoyed by the suspicion, but not surprised.

She lowered her eyelashes and said her prepared excuse, “Someone from another school told me.”

Huo Jun’s gaze flickered.

“Why would you tell me?” He tensed his shoulders, his chest and abdomen hooked forward, a slight aggressiveness appeared in his eyes, but he just smiled.

“Want to save my life, so I’ll owe you a favor and follow your orders?”

Qin Ke: “…..”

This guy really was crazy, his thinking completely lacked the logic of a normal person.

She tightened her face slightly, “You helped me, you don’t remember. I’m just returning the favor…..now we’re even.”

Having said that, Qin Ke stood up and wanted to leave.

But her wrist was grabbed by the force behind her.

Qin Ke looked back with annoyance.

“Let go of me.”

Huo Jun stared deeply at her.

A few seconds later, the fingers on her wrist slowly loosened.

Qin Ke’s heart tightened, she rubbed her wrist and hurriedly walked down the steps.

Behind her, a voice followed, hidden in the laziness was a cold laugh.

“Have you heard the story of ‘The Farmer and the Snake’——Qin Ke?”
