Hearing this, Huo Wu’s heart shook.
She remembered when Huo Yusen just got back from abroad, he warned her to stay away from Mo Ze. Never would she have thought that she would get closer and closer to Mo Ze within the past few months. Although she didn’t mean for it to become this way, it was indeed a fact that they had been interacting a lot lately and would continue to do so in the future.
Especially since she promised to treat him to dinner after gaokao to thank him for today’s help.
Thinking about this, there was a bit of panic in Huo Wu’s eyes. She hadn’t followed his warning to keep away from Mo Ze.
Huo Wu lowered her eyes and avoided making eye contact with Huo Yusen. She was like a child who had done something wrong and hurriedly explained, “Yeah, we met by coincidence, so he just drove me home.”
But her avoidance of him made Huo Yusen believe her words had another meaning.
His hand that was originally wiping Huo Wu’s lips switched to holding onto her chin.
He was using quite a bit of strength, and there were turbulent emotions in his darkened eyes.
Huo Wu was hurt by his action. She slightly frowned and tilted her head to the side a bit and discovered that Huo Yusen had gotten even closer to her. They were so close that it appeared as though he was about to kiss her.
She held her breath subconsciously.
The entirety of Huo Yusen’s face was right in front of hers. His face was undoubtedly handsome, with perfectly shaped eyes, nose, and mouth; the most outstanding part out of these was obviously his delicately shaped eyes.
She could clearly see his eyes in such a close distance. For some reason, his usually cold eyes had elements of hostility in them.
Her heart shook again for some reason.
The warmth of his light breath blew on Huo Wu’s face with a refreshing minty smell. The breath was actually soothing, but it gave Huo Wu some pressure.
He was way too close to her.
So close that there would be no distance between them at all in the next second.
The atmosphere felt a bit dangerous to Huo Wu. She subconsciously lifted her hand up, and with shaking fingers, she softly pressed on the area between Huo Yusen’s brows.
“Big brother, don’t frown. I wouldn’t be worried.”
It was only then did Huo Yusen realize that he was frowning with hostility in his eyes.
Hearing Huo Wu speaking with her soft voice, he suddenly let loose of her chin, turned around, and hurriedly went upstairs without saying a word.
Then, the loud bang of the door slamming shut was heard.
Hearing the bang, Huo Wu’s heart couldn’t help but shiver inside her chest.
For some reason, the back of Huo Yusen’s departing body looked as if he was running away from something.
But her older brother running away?
How could that be?
Although Huo Wu didn’t know why Huo Yusen was acting strangely tonight, she was still a bit worried about him.
This was the first time Huo Yusen locked himself in his room without saying a word.
Huo Wu was truly confused.
She tightened her lips worriedly, followed him upstairs, and knocked on Huo Yusen’s door.
She knocked for a long time, but there was no response at all.
Huo Wu didn’t want to give up and turned the doorknob. But to her surprise, Huo Yusen actually locked the door from the inside, which made Huo Wu even more worried.
She went back to her room with a perplexed heart.
When she stood in front of her mirror, she finally realized how messy her lipstick was.
The corner of her lips was a red smudge, making her look as if someone had tried to harass her.
And because she had very pale skin, this color of red was evermore obvious.
And then with the addition of some tears in her eyes, she looked somewhat wasted as well.
Huo Wu couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
She couldn’t believe she looked this horrific in front of Huo Yusen all this time.
Did he think she did something bad while she was out?
But the fact was really just that she messed up her lipstick because a truck was heading directly towards her. She hadn’t done anything else at all.
Thinking about this, she also didn’t know where her lipstick tube had gone.
But Huo Wu couldn’t think about that right now. She hurriedly cleaned the corner of her lips with a cotton pad and makeup remover.
It might have been because the corner of her lips had gone through the “torture” of two men, but she literally tore off a piece of her skin because she was wiping so hard to get rid of their touch.
Huo Wu couldn’t help but hiss.
There was even some blood next to her lips.
But Huo Wu didn’t have the time to worry about that right now. She looked into the mirror and made sure that there was no remaining lipstick stain next to her lips. Then, she went to knock on Huo Yusen’s door again.
Huo Yusen made her a bit anxious tonight.
He would never lock his door before.
What happened to him today?
Huo Yusen really hadn’t been himself today; she couldn’t guess his thoughts at all.
Huo Wu knocked on the door again.
It was a good thing that Huo Yusen opened the door not long after.
“Big brother?”
Huo Yusen was wearing the same clothes as he was before, but he seemed to have just washed his face. His face and the hair in front of his forehead were a bit wet still.
He looked a bit wild like this.
