Chapter 19. Being scolded by him in public

Wen Li stared at Huo Yuanchen motionlessly. She was not far from him and could clearly feel the chill emanating from him. His eyes were full of accusations and disgust.

She really couldn't understand how the same person could have two emotions at the same time. The tender and compassionate emotions were given to the girl in his arms, while the cold condemnation was given to her.

She also wanted to leave. She didn't want to continue looking into his eyes and let him torture her with his eyes.

But she couldn't do it. The fear in her heart overwhelmed all other emotions. She was very scared and just hoped that someone could reach out and help her.

And that person couldn't be Huo Yuanchen. All his concern at the moment was for the other girl. After checking her wound, he picked her up with an anxious look on his face and rushed out of the laboratory in a hurry.

Because he was in a hurry, he bumped into Wen Li hard when he passed by her.

Wen Li was so frightened that her legs went weak, and she lost her balance and fell to the ground. The little white mouse at her feet was frightened, and it suddenly jumped up and ran away along the back of her hand.

Wen Li didn't know how she left the laboratory. Her mind was blank and she was in a daze.

The teacher who brought her here saw that she looked very strange and knew that she knew Zhou Ying, so he had no choice but to call Zhou Ying to come over.

When Zhou Ying arrived, she saw Wen Li sitting on a bench outside the laboratory building. His face was extremely pale, and he looked absent-minded, as if possessed by an evil spirit. His body was extremely stiff.

She had heard from her colleagues what happened in the lab, and seeing Wen Li like this, she felt so distressed that she said, "Wen Li, don't take it personally. It's not your fault. Huo Yuanchen is biased and protects his shortcomings, but others are not blind."

Wen Li felt someone holding her hand and instinctively wanted to break free, but Zhou Ying held it very tightly and she couldn't get rid of it. She trusted Zhou Ying's voice very much, and her eyes gradually focused, and she finally saw the person in front of her clearly.

"Zhou Ying?" She was a little surprised, but soon figured out why Zhou Ying appeared in front of her.

She smiled gratefully, a little apologetically, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Zhou Ying breathed a sigh of relief and pinched her knuckles hard, "You're finally alive. Do you know how scary you looked just now? You almost scared me to death."

As he spoke, his tone was filled with a bit of anger, "Isn't it just Huo Yuanchen? It's not like you haven't slept with him before. Is it necessary for you to be so distraught?"

Wen Li looked very confused, "Zhou Ying, isn't it strange that I'm actually afraid of mice?"

Zhou Ying disagreed, "What's so strange about this? Many people are afraid of mice, and I am afraid of them too."

Wen Li shook his head. "No, I was really scared. I was too scared to move. You know, I'm a slow-witted person. I'm not even afraid of cockroaches. How could I be afraid of mice? It was just a little white mouse."

Hearing her say this, Zhou Ying also felt something was wrong. She recalled and nodded, "Indeed. Do you remember when we were studying abroad? We had no experience at first and were cheated by a black agent. The house we rented was old and damp. Not to mention cockroaches, even centipedes visited us."

She was a little scared when she recalled the past, and sighed, "I remember one night, when I lifted the quilt, there was a centipede as long as my palm crawling on the bed, which scared me to death. In comparison, you are much braver, and you dared to take pictures with your high heels."

Wen Li also remembered and laughed at her, "In the end, I killed the centipede on your bed, but you still refused to sleep and insisted on sleeping on the sofa with me. I couldn't sleep all night, and the professor caught me sleeping in class the next day."

She and Zhou Ying were roommates when they were studying abroad. They shared an apartment. Zhou Ying slept on the bed and she slept on the sofa. Their relationship was developed when they slept together.

Zhou Ying stuck out her tongue. "How can I dare to sleep when you smashed the centipede to pieces?"

She squeezed Wen Li's palm and asked with concern, "What about just now? How were you so scared?"

Wen Li lowered his head to recall, but found that he remembered nothing. He only remembered that he was very scared, but he couldn't remember how scared he was.

It was like there was a black hole in my brain, sucking in all the fear I felt at that time, and I couldn't see anything at all.

Seeing her frowning, Zhou Ying was afraid that she would recall some bad memories and lose control of her emotions again, so she interrupted her and said, "Okay, okay, if you can't remember, then forget it. Come on, I'll take you to the cafeteria."

Wen Li deliberately put on a look of disdain, "I've suffered so much injustice in your school, and you only treat me to a meal in the cafeteria?"

Zhou Ying said with a smile, "What do you know? The cafeteria's stir-fry counter has a new chef, and he's really handsome."

Wen Li had just recovered from her fear and had no appetite at all. But Zhou Ying had good intentions, so she followed him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the cafeteria, he saw Huo Yuanchen and the girl with the bow tie eating in the cafeteria. He was in a good mood at the moment, sitting opposite the girl, concentrating on peeling shrimps. After peeling one, he put one in the girl's bowl, then lowered his head to continue peeling.

His hands had distinct joints and slender fingertips. Somehow, when Wen Li looked at his hands, she remembered the last time in her bathroom, when she complained to him about her sore hands and he pressed his fingertips on her chest with an ambiguous tone.

"Didn't I satisfy you with this hand?"

She turned away, not wanting to look at the two people.

Zhou Ying found a seat close to the stir-fry window and asked Wen Li to wait while she went to order the food.

Wen Li waited obediently. She did not go to university in China, and the style of the canteens in foreign universities was different from that in China. She found it quite fresh and looked around.

This glance inevitably met Huo Yuanchen's eyes. It was just a moment, and he quickly looked away in disgust, not wanting to look at her any more.

Wen Li also turned his head and saw Zhou Ying chatting with the chef. Zhou Ying turned and pointed in Wen Li's direction, leaving half a body of space.

Through the glass, Wen Li saw the chef's appearance clearly. He was indeed very handsome, and even with a mask on, it did not affect his appearance. Looking again, he found that there was already a long line in front of the stir-fry window, all of them were girls.

The stir-fried dishes Zhou Ying ordered were quickly served, and were personally delivered by the handsome chef.

"Mushu pork, Kung Pao chicken, and..." The handsome guy put a heart-shaped egg noodle in front of Wen Li, "...this is free, I give it to you."

Wen Li looked up in surprise and saw the handsome guy smiling with his eyes curved. His two dimples were particularly cute under the transparent mask.

"Beautiful lady, happy birthday to you. I hope you are happy every day."

Wen Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and glared at Zhou Ying fiercely. This girl must be talking nonsense again.

But she was still amused by the bowl of egg noodles. She thought, a healing handsome guy is much more pleasing to the eye than an abstinence handsome guy.

Halfway through her noodles, Huo Yuanchen's colleague came to find her.

"Wen Li, do you know who the girl Huo Yuanchen was holding today is?"
