There’re Always Paranoid Thoughts to Monopolize Me - Chapter 31.2

The Huo Jun in front of her seemed like a madman, a lunatic… in short, he was not a normal person!

Qin Yan felt as if she could be strangled to death by him at any moment!

Qin Yan was so frightened that her legs went weak, her face turned pale, and her eyes were so red that she was almost about to cry.

“I’m—I’m sorry… I’m sorry, Brother Jun…” She shook her head vigorously, shrinking her body, “I won’t dare to do it again, next time…no, there won’t be a next time. I promise there won’t be a next time, Brother Jun…”

Huo Jun’s gaze was deep and gloomy.

He slowly withdrew his hand and let it fall.

“This is the last time.”

“If I find out you’re using such despicable means to scheme against her again… I’ll kill you—don’t believe me? Try it.”

The young man’s thin lips moved slightly, and before the first rumble of thunder in the sky, his voice was hoarse and low.

” —Get lost.”

“…!”

Qin Yan didn’t even bother to pick up her phone, she ran down the stairs sobbing and in a mess.

The first clap of thunder finally exploded in the sky.

The lingering sound seemed as if it would destroy this world along with it.

The rain, with its fishy smell, was pushed in through the open windows by the howling evening wind, the dampness hitting her face.

All the restlessness of the world was drowned in these shattered raindrops.

Huo Jun closed his eyes briefly.

The bulging veins at the pale temple of the young man slowly subsided.

The classroom and corridor behind him had become deserted at some point.

It was as quiet as death.

Huo Jun slowly turned around and was the last one to walk down the spiral staircase in the open air.

The increasingly heavy rain fell rapidly on his body, but he seemed to have lost all sensation.

His handsome profile was almost pale at this moment, having lost its usual sharpness and vitality.

If Qin Ke were to fall in love with Huo Jingyan,

He wouldn’t be surprised at all.

Huo Jingyan was gentle, cultured, calm, witty… Huo Jingyan was completely different from him.

Since he was young, the woman who gave birth to him had told him: You’re just like your father who abandoned you, a heartless monster.

No, you’re even stranger than him.

You’re like a madman, a burden and torment to everyone.

The woman who said these words, who gave birth to him, on a stormy night, abandoned him at the muddy entrance of a highway leading to the countryside.

He couldn’t remember how he had fallen and bled profusely in the pouring rain that night, or how he had escaped death in the cold and hunger…

He only remembered every word that woman said that night.

Even the person who gave birth to him didn’t want him.

No one dared to get close to him.

Whenever there was thunder and rain, Qiao Jin, Qiao Yu, Wei Sheng… everyone would stay far away from him.

… So.

Who would like a monster?

Huo Jun let out a light scoff, his eyes devoid of emotion.

He heard someone sneer coldly in the sharp wind.

—

He had already gotten used to it.

Huo Jun stepped onto the last step, his face expressionless.

The rain, now completely unobstructed, pounded on his body, soaking him instantly.

A few students who hadn’t left yet downstairs noticed him. As soon as they recognized it was Huo Jun, they lowered their heads as if they had seen a ghost, quickening their pace to leave and avoid him.

Huo Jun slightly tugged at the corner of his mouth.

The smile in his eyes was mocking and hollow.

He lifted his leg to take the first step into the rain.

—

Suddenly, it darkened before his eyes.

A large black umbrella was suddenly opened in front of him.

Huo Jun abruptly stopped.

A few seconds later, he turned his head stiffly and saw a slender girl struggling to hold up an umbrella that seemed a bit too large for her frame. Her delicate, fair arm was stretched out in front of his eyes, looking as if it might break with a single bend.

But Qin Ke just held it up with difficulty.

On her small, delicate oval face, a faint emotion of disapproval floated.

Her fine eyebrows were slightly furrowed, creasing a beautiful little flower between her brows.

“If you only brought one umbrella, why are you giving it to me?”

“…”

Huo Jun’s pupils contracted.

It was as if only at this moment was he pulled from a dream into reality by these words.

A deep, almost ferocious emotion flashed across his eyes.

“What are you doing here?”

The young man spoke slowly, each word and phrase permeated with a terrifying low tone that warned people to stay away.

But Qin Ke didn’t seem afraid of him at all.

The way she looked at him even carried a hint of helplessness – it was the gaze that Huo Jun had said he was most addicted to, like the most helpless indulgence, as if she could tolerate anything he did to her.

Huo Jun gritted his teeth, his cheekbones quivering slightly on his gaunt face.

He suddenly raised his hand, grasping the slender wrist in front of him, and almost fiercely pulled her back a step, avoiding the rain under the corridor.

Qin Ke’s back was pressed against the wall. She frowned and looked up, “Huo Jun, we agreed, don’t go crazy.”

However, at this moment, there was clearly not a bit of rationality in Huo Jun’s eyes.

With his eyes dark and deep, his voice was hoarse and low, soaked by the violent rain behind him–

“If you leave right now, you can still make it.”

“?”

Qin Ke looked at him in confusion.

“If I leave, will you walk back in the rain?”

Their eyes met.

Huo Jun looked at the reflection of himself in the girl’s eyes, finding it hideous and frightening, yet the girl’s eyes remained clear and pure, without a hint of avoidance.

Huo Jun was almost going mad.

He spoke through gritted teeth.

“Are you not afraid of me at all?”

“…”

Qin Ke sighed.

Does going crazy affect intelligence? Otherwise, how could Huo Jun still be hung up on this issue after knowing each other for so long?

“Hmm,” she patiently coaxed him, shaking her head, “I’m not afraid. You’re not some man-eating beast, why should I be afraid?”

Huo Jun was infuriated.

It was like a wild wolf encountering a foolish rabbit. The wolf worried for the rabbit’s life, yet the rabbit still offered its tender neck to the wolf’s nose, even softly provoking it: “Go ahead and bite?”

The wild wolf would surely die of anger in the end.

Huo Jun thought bitterly.

He suddenly reached out and snatched the umbrella from Qin Ke’s hand, throwing it aside.

“The umbrella…”

Qin Ke became anxious and just as she turned to pick it up, she was pulled back by him and pressed against the wall.

—

Huo Jun leaned down next to her neck.

It was only at this moment that Qin Ke realized the young man’s breath was hot, almost scalding.

Qin Ke finally belatedly sensed the approach of some kind of danger.

She hesitated for a moment, deciding to try to reason with him.

But before she could speak, she heard that hoarse voice by her ear.

“Now… are you still not afraid?”

Qin Ke: “…”

This person was really childish.

Like a large dog lost in the rain.

Qin Ke’s mind actually relaxed. She hesitated for 0.1 seconds, then boldly reached out her hand and ruffled his half-wet black hair.

The young man’s body stiffened at her touch.

A few seconds later, his gloomy, dark eyes looked up, bearing down on her from above.

Qin Ke looked back up at him innocently.

“The rain has eased a bit, Huo Jun. Shouldn’t we go home now?”

“…”

Huo Jun stared at her with a gloomy gaze.

A few seconds later,

He sneered coldly, lowering his eyes reluctantly and in a mess, threatening in a low voice.

“You’ve escaped once.”

“?”

Huo Jun didn’t speak. He suddenly bent down and forcefully hugged her.

“If there’s a next time…I’ll make you cry until you can’t breathe.”

Qin Ke: “.”
