There’re Always Paranoid Thoughts to Monopolize Me - Chapter 68.1
Under Yan An’s teasing, Qin Ke finally steeled her heart and pulled her hand away from Huo Jun.
Huo Jun’s figure paused as he grasped at empty air. He then frowned and looked across from him, where Huo Jingyan had just received his main course and was lowering his gaze to cut his steak.
Huo Jun: “You don’t have marriage leave?”
“……?”
Even Qin Ke looked at Huo Jun with some surprise, not understanding why he suddenly became so concerned about Huo Jingyan.
Yan An, however, sensed the vague hostility from that glance earlier. She realized what was happening and said to Qin Ke with a smile, “Oh, is someone annoyed that I’m here preventing him from getting close to you?”
“……”
Qin Ke’s face reddened as she understood the implication.
She then looked at Huo Jun with disapproval and said, “Sister Yan An and Mr. Huo’s wedding was ruined and hastily concluded because of our situation. They’ve also been worrying about you constantly while you were in a coma. You shouldn’t have this attitude towards them.”
Huo Jun’s cold expression froze.
A few seconds later, he turned back, lowered his gaze to look at Qin Ke, and said in a low voice, “Was my attitude not good?”
Qin Ke was stunned.
Huo Jun had always had a very handsome face, especially those eyes. When he wasn’t smiling or angry, the corners of his eyes curved up slightly. If his gaze wasn’t usually so fierce, they would definitely be seductive peach blossom eyes.
At this moment, whether intentional or not, he lowered his gaze, truly making Qin Ke feel a bit of reluctance to say anything more.
Seemingly receiving an unspoken affirmation from Qin Ke, Huo Jun’s figure stiffened for two seconds. He turned back, not directly looking at Yan An and Huo Jingyan, but clearly addressing them.
“Qin Qin is right, I was wrong. I’m sorry.”
“——!”
Yan An turned her head in shock to look at Huo Jingyan.
Even the usually calm Huo Jingyan’s face showed an almost dumbfounded emotion for the first time.
In fact, Qin Ke, sitting next to Huo Jun, was no less shocked than them.
Given Huo Jun’s personality, for him to apologize to Huo Jingyan……
Could it be that he really damaged his brain?
Qin Ke’s expression even became a bit serious.
Huo Jingyan clearly felt the same. He frowned and said seriously, “I’ll arrange for a doctor to come and do a full examination on you this afternoon.”
Qin Ke thought Huo Jun would directly refuse, but unexpectedly, after frowning slightly in obvious displeasure, the young man turned back to look at her.
“Do you want me to have an examination too?”
“……Huh?” Qin Ke was stunned for two seconds, then instinctively nodded, “A check-up would be more reassuring.”
“Okay.”
The young man’s furrowed brow relaxed. While the girl was still in a daze, he once again grasped the tips of her fingers.
The familiar warmth returning to his palm made him feel at ease again.
——
“I’ll do whatever you say.”
“…………”
The expressions of the other three people at the table immediately became indescribably complex.
****
The examination results proved that Huo Jun indeed did not have any intracranial injuries causing brain problems.
But Qin Ke knew he was still very abnormal.
Previously, Huo Jun had never restrained the expression of his feelings for her, but he also didn’t restrain the expression of his desires.
Now it was different. Since waking up, Huo Jun seemed to be constantly trying to tell her – her words were like divine commands to him. Even if they completely contradicted his own wishes, he would unhesitatingly do as Qin Ke said.
Besides that……
Yan An’s words came true – Huo Jun became extremely clingy with Qin Ke, almost like conjoined twins. Wherever Qin Ke went, he almost always went along.
If Huo Jun wasn’t so much taller than Qin Ke, she suspected he would completely cling to her like a koala or a leg accessory.
Yet he wasn’t forceful about it.
Whenever Qin Ke exasperatedly pushed him aside, he would hug her again. If he truly annoyed Qin Ke, he wouldn’t insist, but would stand quietly beside her with downcast eyes.
In those peach blossom eyes, the past ferocity had been completely concealed.
Now the advantages and strengths of that handsome face were being utilized to their fullest by Huo Jun – faced with the pitiful puppy-like emotion hidden in his eyes, Qin Ke really couldn’t say anything harsh.
Qin Ke seriously wanted to bring back the group of doctors who examined Huo Jun to make sure again – she really suspected they had missed diagnosing some important symptom.
This person really didn’t seem normal.
At this time, Qin Ke received an email notification from A University, bringing her very good news that could help her escape her current predicament.
——
“Early admission class?” Huo Jun leaned down from behind the computer chair, extending his arms to embrace the girl from behind, including the chair. Since he could encompass it all, he didn’t mind at all.
Qin Ke had already struggled too many times and was too lazy to struggle again. She allowed Huo Jun to nuzzle affectionately against her neck as she reviewed the contents of the email again.
Then Qin Ke smiled.
“It seems I can’t idle away time at home with you anymore. According to this notice, I should report to A University no later than the day after tomorrow.”
Huo Jun frowned.
“Since you’ve already been admitted, wouldn’t it be better to just wait until freshman year starts? Why are they being so special about it?”
Full of undisguised selfishness and resentment.
Qin Ke pointed to the middle part of the email’s main text, “Doesn’t it say here – ‘In order to allow early admission students to expand on their high school knowledge and help them transition and adapt more quickly to university life.'”
“Two months of early admission classes, longer than the remaining school time for other high school seniors…… And after that when freshman year starts, you’ll still be assigned to regular classes?”
“Hmm, I suppose so.” Qin Ke nodded uncertainly.
“Can you not go?”
“Of course not.”
“……” Huo Jun shifted his focus, directly getting to the root of the issue… “How come I never heard before that A University had an early admission class?”
Qin Ke: “Maybe because your grades were never stable before senior year, and with your ‘glorious and heroic’ fighting records, early admission was completely irrelevant to you?”
“……”
Hearing the teasing mockery in the girl’s joke, Huo Jun wasn’t annoyed. He just leaned forward again, turning his face to quickly kiss the corner of the girl’s lips.
After the sneak attack, he still sounded a bit unwilling.
“Then I’ll go with you.”
Qin Ke pointed at the words “Early Admission Class” on the screen, joking, “Senior Huo, have some self-respect.”
Huo Jun: “……”
Huo Jun: “I can at least go back to school with you, right?”
