Nan Mu followed Huo Xunzhou’s gaze but saw nothing.

“What is it?” he asked, puzzled.

Huo Xunzhou remained silent, still looking in that direction.

“Big brother, what are you looking at?” Li MO also joined them in looking.

Huo Xunzhou suddenly smiled and said, “A cat.” Nan Mu and Li MO exchanged a look.

The look Nan Mu gave was as if to ask ‘Is he alright?’

And Li MO shrugged as if to reply ‘I can’t figure out what’s on his mind.’

But of course, Li MO was just a brawny, simple-minded guy. What does he know?

“Let’s go.” Nan Mu said anyways.

Huo Xunzhou agreed.

Lin Shanchu could hear their voices vaguely, but she still couldn’t figure out what they were saying.

Why weren’t they leaving?

Did Huo Xunzhou notice her?

Soon, she heard the sounds of a wheelchair departing.

Once the sound of the wheelchair went out of range, Lin Shanchu let out a sigh of relief.

It was at this moment that she realized that her instinctive reaction upon seeing Huo Xunzhou was to hide! Why was she hiding?

Oh.

Because the last time she interacted with Huo Xunzhou she forced a kiss on him before she left his house.

Lin Shanchu tilted her head out to stare in the direction where Huo Xunzhou and the others were earlier and pondered with mixed feelings.

As she daydreamed deep into her thoughts, a familiar deep voice resonated from above her.

“Not hiding anymore?”

Lin Shanchu raised her head intuitively.

The first thing she saw was a pair of deceitful, yet beautiful peach blossom eyes.

After being stunned speechless for a long time, Lin Shanchu finally managed to speak.

‘You..

‘Didn’t he leave?’ she thought.

“The wheelchair left, but I didn’t.”

Huo Xunzhou took the initiative to answer her questions.

Lin Shanchu took a quick glance at Huo Xunzhou’s legs before scanning her surroundings.

“Aren’t you afraid of being discovered?”

Leaning against the wall, Huo Xunzhou looked at her with a smile that… wasn’t really a smile.

“Well, it’s because I wanted to see you.”

Lin Shanchu snorted, “I never said I wanted you to come see me.”

Huo Xunzhou spoke in a serious manner while putting on a helpless expression, “I knew you wanted to see me, you just didn’t dare to come over. Since I’m older, I naturally had to be more understanding and come to you instead.”

If she didn’t know the truth, Lin Shanchu would have believed that he was really such a ‘considerate elder’.

Lin Shanchu turned away and cursed under her breath, “Shameless.”

Huo Xunzhou heard it.

However, that only made his smile intensify.

Sometimes in movies, people who appeared as cold and serious as Huo Xunzhou often turn out to be perverts.

Lin Shanchu felt that, sometimes, movies have some truth to them.

Take this moment for example, the face Huo Xunzhou was making could definitely come off as a little perverted.

Who in their right mind would look so happy after getting scolded?

But after a while, 1–1uo Xunzhou’s expression changed.

“Why insomnia?” he asked.

Huo Xunzhou used to stay with Lin Shanchu for a while so he knew very well that Lin Shanchu was like an old man.

She woke up early, slept early, ate on time, and cherished her life.

To hear that she was an insomniac didn’t make sense to him.

“Oh! Since when were you at the set?” Lin Shanchu asked surprisingly.

He must have been watching the program to ask her this question.

Huo Xunzhou lowered his eyes slightly and vaguely responded, “I’ve been there for a while.”

Huo Xunzhou had never shown what he was feeling, but after spending time with him for such a long time, Lin Shanchu understood his emotions more than anyone else.

“You came early, didn’t you?” she guessed.

Huo Xunzhou averted his gaze.

Intentionally tilting her head to look straight into his eyes, Lin Sanchu asked, “Is it possible that you arrived right at the beginning of the show?” Huo Xunzhou remained silent. “I thought you were busy. How come you suddenly came?”

Huo Xunzhou still didn’t speak.

Lin Shanchu batted her eyes in disbelief and called out his name solemnly.

“Huo Xunzhou.”

Huo Xunzhou was forced to turn his head around.

Lin Shanchu stared intently into his soul as she asked, “Don’t tell me… you came back just to watch me perform, did you?”

Huo Xunzhou’s gaze scattered.

He raised his watch and pretended to look at the time as he said with a pretentious tone of urgency, “I have other matters to attend to.”

As he raised his foot to leave, Lin Shanchu reached out to grab him mid-step. “Hey!

However, Huo Xunzhou managed to quickly take two steps back with a guarded look on his face.

Through the vigilance in his eyes, it was evident that his backward steps were genuinely out of fear.

With a confused expression, Lin Shanchu asked, “Why are you… Why are you avoiding me?”

“Don’t you have things to do?” Huo Xunzhou remained cautious.

There was no doubt that the kissing incident had left a mark on him.

How did she make Huo Xunzhou, out of all people, afraid of her?

“Don’t be afraid,” Lin Shanchu tried to explain, “About last time… I’m not that kind of person.”

After all, she kissed him without his consent.

That was indeed inappropriate.

But she wasn’t the only one to blame.

If Huo Xunzhou didn’t always act like he could handle everything for her, like he was willing to clean up any mess she made, she wouldn’t have dared to make a move on him.

Unexpectedly, her explanation made Huo Xunzhou take another half step back.

Lin Shanchu couldn’t bear it any longer and blurted out, “It was my first kiss, okay?!”

A rare expression of astonishment appeared on Huo Xunzhou’s face.

After two seconds, he finally responded with a delayed “Oh.” He seemed a little dazed.

On the other hand, Lin Shanchu was teeming with awkwardness.

“Didn’t you have something you needed to do?” she was so embarrassed that she was pushing for Huo Xunzhou to leave. “Mmm,” Huo Xunzhou uttered.

“Then, go.”

Huo Xunzhou blinked his eyes blankly as he took another step back. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he finally rushed to turn around and leave.

Lin Shanchu heaved a sigh of relief.

Feeling a bit annoyed, she reached out to grab her hair, but couldn’t since it had been fixed with a lot of hair gel.

So, all she could do was retract her hands and clench her fists.

Li MO and Nan Mu were waiting for Huo Xunzhou at the other end of the corridor.

The reason why they were waiting at the exit for him was because they were afraid people would pass by.

Li MO asked Huo Xunzhou innocently, “Brother, why did you take so long to go to the bathroom?”

After two seconds of silence, he sat back in his wheelchair.

“Hahaha! Li MO, seriously, you should get your IQtested when you have the time! I’ll even pay for you. Hahaha! I can’t stop laughing!” Nan Mu was laughing so hard, he almost choked.

“I’ll kill you if you don’t stop laughing,” Li MO frowned.

Nan Mu laughed even more impudently.

Confused, Li MO turned his head to Huo Xunzhou for an answer.

“Big Brother?”

Huo Xunzhou just rolled away in his wheelchair.

After Nan Mu was done laughing, he reminded Li MO, “Lin Shanchu?”

Li MO suddenly connected the dots.

“You mean Big Brother went to see Miss Lin just now?”

“What else do you think he went to do?”

Seeing Li Mo’s bewildered expression, Nan Mu couldn’t help but laugh again.

He only came back so quickly because he was rushing for time.

When Li MO was asking, Huo Xunzhou didn’t give him a direct response, so he assumed that Huo Xunzhou didn’t intend to meet her.

“People in love to say one thing and mean another. If you encounter this situation in the future, make sure to pretend it was a fart. Hahahahaha…”

Nan Mu couldn’t help but laugh again..
