What’s Mr. Huo Eating Today

He Yunzhou didn’t expect Huo Zheng would agree to his request.

In fact, the moment those words were spoken, he came to his senses and a wave of remorse flashed through his heart— He simply didn’t know which one of his nerves was on the wrong line to make that kind of strange request.

However, it seems that He Yunzhou wasn’t the only one who has become strange.

After all, before He Yunzhou had the chance to withdraw that strange request in the guise of a joke, the “ok ah” had already sounded.

He Yunzhou couldn’t help but freeze.

He looked at Huo Zheng with some shock, then realized that Huo Zheng had closed his eyes at this time and slightly leaned towards He Yunzhou; so that He Yunzhou, who wasn’t as tall as Huo Zheng, could easily touch his head.

“……”

It’s not that I didn’t hear the hesitation contained in that “ok ah”, nor that I couldn’t see the tightness on Huo Zheng’s face.

But the more Huo Zheng is flustered but serious, the more He Yunzhou can no longer say anything like “I’m sorry I was just joking earlier”.

Always feel as if the atmosphere seems to suddenly become a little strange…

He Yunzhou said to himself in his heart. He stared blankly at Huo Zheng, not even realizing that he was holding his breath. Then, he stretched out his somewhat stiff hand and gently stroked Huo Zheng’s hair.

It’s very soft to touch.

With soft hair that is completely incompatible with Huo Zheng’s eccentric and sharp personality, the silver-gray hair is twisted around his fingertips, reflecting a faint luster. Although he had only touched the other’s hair cautiously, he always felt that the hair became warm after touching He Yunzhou’s skin.

Even if He Yunzhou had thought that Huo Zheng was really like Guaji before, he didn’t know until he caressed the other party’s long hair at this moment that he wasn’t actually mentally prepared.

That man’s long hair felt… really exactly the same as Guaji’s hair, there was no difference.

That feeling of dizziness appeared once again.

By the time He Yunzhou reacted, he couldn’t help but put his fingers in Huo Zheng’s hair, then habitually scratched the back of his neck along the outline of the other party’s skull.

“Hooh..”

Huo Zheng let out a low cry.

“I’m sorry—”

It was only at this time that He Yunzhou woke up as if from a dream, realizing that after his habitual hand slip, the heat surged up to his cheeks.

As for Huo Zheng, even if he always restrained his temper, the man who still couldn’t hide his arrogance and troublesome temper was standing three steps away from He Yunzhou, his eyes widened, looking at He Yunzhou blankly with a shocked expression.

“Just now, my hand slipped… I couldn’t help stroking you.”

He Yunzhou scratched his face embarrassedly, a little annoyed in his heart.

How can you get carried away and really treat your friend as a cat to pet?

He Yunzhou has never hated his hand as much as he does now.

However, he also had no way to explain it to Huo Zheng.

[Sorry, I thought you looked like my dead cat. Just now, my brain was dizzy and I thought you were the cat, so I couldn’t help but use the cat petting skills, which startled you.] — It’s really impossible to say these kinds of words no matter what, right?

“I’ve always been a little curious… whether the hair quality of dyed hair of this color will be very damaged… I just found out that your hair quality turned out to be very good ahahaha. I couldn’t help but touch it.”

He Yunzhou forcibly calmed down and calmly found an excuse.

“I go to a store in Japan every once in a while for special hair care,” Huo Zheng pulled the corner of his lips and replied dryly.

“No wonder, it feels quite soft to the touch…” He Yunzhou said.

As soon as he said a word, the forced smile on his face couldn’t be maintained—God knows why he court disaster again and changed the subject to this direction once again?!

Sure enough, Huo Zheng looked even more uncomfortable after hearing these words.

After a few pleasantries, He Yunzhou could only watch as he quickly said goodbye and left his home.

The door was closed with a “click”.

He Yunzhou stayed in the entrance, his shoulders instantly drooped.

“God, what the hell am I doing…”

He Yunzhou rubbed his forehead and asked himself ruefully, his heart filled with remorse.

I’m really possessed…

Why can’t you control stroking that person’s hair?!

You still have to find a chance to apologize to someone another day.

……

At this moment, He Yunzhou didn’t notice that at this time, his heart was full of that man called Huo Zheng.

And the loneliness and emptiness that were entrenched in his body like ghosts had long since disappeared.

Similarly, He Yunzhou wouldn’t know that the man in his mind, who felt so uncomfortable because of his touch that he needed to run away was shrinking in panic in the depths of the wide sofa, his face was already flushed and his heartbeat was so loud that he seemed to be able to clearly hear it from the outside.

“Mr. Huo, your body temperature today—”

And CALO made the same flat electronic sound as usual without being bothered.

“Shut up.”

“Okay, Mr. Huo, but your heart rate is already at—”

“I said shut up.”

Huo Zheng silenced CALO agitatedly.1 lit. heart distracted, thoughts in turmoil(idiom)

This damned body detection function was expensive and took up the resources of the overall smart system, which was extremely annoying. It was at this moment that Huo Zheng decided to delete this unlucky function directly from the entire CALO smart system.

Huo Zheng tried hard to get himself to focus on CALO, but all his efforts were feeble.

“Really… damn it.”

Huo Zheng let out a curse, turned around, and poured himself a large glass of iced water.

The back of his neck was a forbidden place that everyone knows—he wouldn’t even allow the stylist to touch it. In fact, this was part of the reason why he kept his hair long.

It’s been so long, but the touch of He Yunzhou’s fingertips still seems to be enchanted, resting clearly on his skin, causing Huo Zheng unable to sit still and confused.

Huo Zheng couldn’t help but raise his hand and rub his neck vigorously. As if in this way, he could erase that vague feeling from his mind.

He Yunzhou’s actions today have exceeded the moment.

Huo Zheng heard the voice in his heart say coldly.

No matter what happened to He Yunzhou and how his mood was affected, there is no doubt that he is longing for a deeper connection with Huo Zheng—that gentle touch is the best proof.

Thinking of this, the turmoil in Huo Zheng’s heart abruptly stopped and was replaced by a burst of coldness.

He knew that he had no way to give He Yunzhou the kind of… serious and stable relationship he wanted.

Huo Zheng couldn’t give anyone that kind called “love”, he couldn’t do it.

It’s time to make it clear to that man.

Huo Zheng thought.

It’s also time to end this irrational ambiguous situation.

“Click—”

The remaining ice cubes in the glass knocked on its walls, making a crisp sound.

Huo Zheng’s hand was trembling slightly.

He could give 10,000 reasons to convince himself of the advantages and benefits of distancing himself from He Yunzhou and ending this relationship.

But at the same time, he couldn’t give even one reason to explain the deep resistance in his heart when he made this decision.
