Chapter 639: 404 Uncle Huo: Your boyfriend, I can give it a try (2 more updates)
Day and night alternated, dawn and dusk took turns, the evening breeze carried the coolness of the night as the day faded away, and according to legends, it was at such times that hidden demons would start to stir...
Yu Wei felt a chill down his spine as though he had encountered something sinister.
His gaze fell on their overlapping hands, and he was so nervous that he swallowed hard, still finding it hard to believe.
He was struck by an unprecedented shock, leaving him utterly bewildered.
"Huo..." Shen Shuci’s fingers were gripped by him, his hands still rough and dry, but the temperature of his palm was astonishingly high.
She hadn’t even finished speaking when she felt her fingers tightly clutched, his wrist exerted a slight force, and her body was gently tugged toward him, feeling a scorching sensation on her forehead.
It was soft...
But the burning heat seemed to penetrate her forehead, instantly turning her entire face red.
If it was all just an act...
Did it need to be this realistic?
It was like a touch of a dragonfly, yet it seemed to light a fire in her heart, a wildfire raging, heating her whole body.
Yu Wei was completely dumbfounded...
He wasn’t an insensitive person; their hands were intertwined, and he understood clearly, honestly, there was no need to go this far.
"Holy shit—" Even the usually composed members of the Huo Family were stunned, "Did... did they kiss?"
"Keep your voice down."
"Our guy really is meant for big things, if they had made no progress, I would have been anxious to death. Looking at the situation, they might just hit a home run tonight."
"There really is a drama."
...
In a brief moment, Shen Shuci’s mind was in a daze, he was very close, not only in sight but also the surrounding air seemed to be permeated with his scent, wrapping around her tightly.
"Wait for me over there, I need to talk to him for a moment."
His voice was deep, though as usual raspy and cold, yet it carried a multitude of tender emotions.
Shen Shuci was completely disoriented, walking toward the other side, and after a few seconds, she glanced at the person talking to Yu Wei nearby, only then did her asphyxiated heart seem to suddenly start beating again.
Thumping against her chest, her breathing becoming rapid.
Everything had happened too quickly, her forehead still felt as if it was burning, and his last words were too gentle, all of it seemed unreal.

Once Shen Shuci left, Yu Wei was left alone to face the man in front of him, his appearance stern and foreboding, especially as the sky gradually darkened, making the atmosphere even more frightening.
The main issue was...
He didn’t speak, just looked at you.
Yu Wei had no choice but to brace himself and speak, "Mr. Huo, I really apologize, I didn’t know you and Miss Shen were..."
"Do you still want her contact information?"
"No, no need." He wouldn’t dare ask for it.
"Planning to ask her out this weekend?"
"I really didn’t know about your relationship, so I thought it was just a normal matchmaking, I mean I..."
"I understand." Huo Qinqi’s tone was flat, showing no emotion, making it impossible to gauge his feelings, only contributing to the unease, "She is nice, it’s normal that you like her."
Yu Wei frowned, the way he said it...
Why did it sound somewhat arrogant?
"So, what is your relationship with her, the teacher is..."
"Do you really care so much about our relationship?"
"Not really." Yu Wei dared not speak further.
It felt like his words were toxic, as if whatever he said would be wrong.
But on second thought, if they had been secretly involved, and his girlfriend was seen dating someone else by him without a hint of anger, that too would be weird.
If Shen Shuci could marry into the Huo Family, that would definitely be better than marrying him, he still had that much self-awareness, why not just tell their families if it was a normal relationship?
Was there something inconvenient? Was it related to his profession?
In just a few seconds, Yu Wei’s mind raced with too many thoughts.
At that moment, Huo Qinqi’s phone vibrated, this time it was truly a call from a superior, "Please take her back first, I have a very important call."
"Oh, okay." Yu Wei told Shen Shuci, and the two of them left Linzi first.
When Shen Shuci left, she turned back to look at Huo Qinqi who was answering the call, their eyes met, and her heart skipped a beat, quickly shifting her gaze away as she entered the house with Yu Wei.

Throughout the journey, the atmosphere was just as awkward, and as they approached the door, Yu Wei took the initiative to speak.
"No wonder Miss Shen was always so cold to me, I thought it was your personality or maybe I wasn’t good enough for you to like..."
"It’s not." Shen Shuci’s mind was in a mess.
