Huo Yuanchen was so weird today that he was hard to figure out.

But he is usually quite unpredictable, and today his symptoms are particularly obvious.

Wen Li resisted the urge to splash water all over him and asked him, "Does Professor Huo like my body?"

"Not bad." Huo Yuanchen raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "But I'm a germaphobe and don't like sharing a woman's body with other men."

Wen Li remembered what Zhou Ying said about Huo Yuanchen seeing her and Cheng Yang on the lawn, and she began to suspect something was wrong.

His reaction was not jealousy, but simply possessiveness. As it is said in the animal world, male animals have a strong sense of territory and will never allow other males to enter their territory.

And that territory naturally includes female animals. This is determined by biological genes and has nothing to do with likes or dislikes.

Now that she needed his help, she naturally had to follow his wishes.

Wen Li turned off the water and took a few steps towards Huo Yuanchen. There was still a thin mist between them. She looked up at him with watery eyes, which was very seductive.

"The younger brother today is the client who asked me to take photos. You said that I have to pay for the trip to Country F myself. I need to make money."

As she spoke, she took his hand, rubbed his palm flatteringly, and said in a delicate and weak tone, "I am still your girlfriend now. I will not be with other men until this relationship is over."

As for whether he would be with another woman, she didn't dare to hope for that.

Huo Yuanchen looked down at her for a while. It was obvious that her humble attitude pleased him, and her words were no longer so explosive.

He asked her, "Can't this client be cancelled?"

Wen Li looked at him innocently, "That brother is very generous. He gave me 100,000 yuan for this order."

After a pause, he continued, "With the labor fee you withheld, the cost of going abroad can be almost collected."

She was taking the opportunity to remind him to give her the money as soon as possible according to the contract.

Huo Yuanchen naturally knew what she meant. He raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "Don't even think about the money from our college."

Wen Li was stunned and almost broke down, and asked him, "Why?"

"You are my girlfriend. It is against the regulations of the academy to ask you to take a photo. You have to avoid suspicion."

Wen Li secretly cried out in injustice. Being Huo Yuanchen's girlfriend brought no benefits, and he also caused her to lose a large sum of money.

Why? She also went through layers of assessments before getting the order, but she didn't take any credit from Huo Yuanchen. The photos were taken, but he used the excuse of avoiding suspicion and refused to pay her. This was too shameless.

"Then we..."

As soon as Wen Li opened her mouth, Huo Yuanchen knew what she meant. He sneered and said, "Don't even think about breaking up with me. Even if we break up, you are still my ex-girlfriend, so you still have to avoid suspicion."

Wen Li was so angry that he wanted to curse.

He looked at her, wanting to get angry but not daring to, and enduring silently. He probably thought it was quite pleasing to the eye, and watched her with interest for a long time before saying, "Don't even think about the money from the college, but as your boyfriend, I will personally compensate you with 300,000 yuan, so that you won't suffer any loss."

Wen Li's eyes lit up, "Really?"

Huo Yuanchen hummed and said, "But you still have to complete the work according to the contract."

Wen Li understood. He was not trying to compensate her, he just wanted to compromise because he was afraid that she would affect his reputation in the academic world.

The three hundred thousand was what she deserved. She didn't take advantage of it at all.

What a shitty boyfriend! If she had a dog, he would definitely treat her much better than him.

Huo Yuanchen came in just to talk to her about the payment, and now that he was done, he was ready to leave.

To be honest, Wen Li's body is quite attractive, but after seeing it so many times, it's just like that.

It was far less exciting than the first time he saw it.

But before he left, the light in the bathroom suddenly went out.

Not only the bathroom, but also the lights in the living room, bedroom, and corridor were all out, even the lights in the building opposite were out.

This happened due to a power outage.

Huo Yuanchen didn't care and wanted to go out to find his cell phone for lighting.

As soon as he moved, he heard Wen Li call him very briefly, "Huo Yuanchen?"

She screamed very urgently, and seemed very nervous and scared.

Huo Yuanchen frowned slightly and said, "You again..."

Before he could finish his words, he was hugged tightly. The water droplets on the woman's body soaked his shirt. The two of them pressed tightly together, and he could feel her body stiffening and trembling.

Huo Yuanchen was about to push Wen Li's hand away when it fell on her smooth back.

"What's wrong?"

She didn't say a word, but her body couldn't stop shaking.

Huo Yuanchen recalled that she had had a similar experience when she was playing games in the club not long ago.

"Afraid of the dark?" he asked her.

Wen Li still didn't say anything, but rubbed her head stiffly in his arms.

Her hair was wet, and when she moved, many drops of water dripped onto his clothes, sticking to him and making him uncomfortable. A certain part of her body was also slightly bulging due to the close embrace between the two of them.

The man pursed his lips, picked up Wen Li, kicked open the bathroom door, and put her on the bed.

He fumbled for his phone and turned on the flashlight. In the dim light, Wen Li's face was pale, his eyes were fixed on the ceiling, his hands were clenched into fists, and he really looked terrified.

He called her twice, but she seemed not to hear him. She did not respond or react. Her eyes were still empty and her teeth were clenched, as if she was suppressing some great fear.

Huo Yuanchen frowned. He was not an expert in this area and didn't know how to deal with this situation. He searched the Internet on his mobile phone, but didn't find any useful suggestions. He only saw someone say that he could try to comfort and relieve the tension.

He felt that Wen Li was troublesome and was afraid that something might happen to her in his house, so he had no choice but to pick her up, hold her in his arms and pat her back gently.

Try to call her name, "Wen Li, don't be afraid."

He called her several times before Wen Li finally responded. Her black and white eyes turned and her gaze gradually fell on his face. She looked at him for a long time before she spoke in confusion.

But what he called was, "Brother Huo?"

Huo Yuanchen's expression suddenly changed. He had no patience with Wen Li at all. He threw her out and threw her heavily on the carpet, saying in a strong tone, "Get lost."

Fortunately, the phone call came at this time.

Wen Li lay on the carpet, squinting his eyes for a long time before he adjusted to the light.

She got up and pulled the quilt over her bed. She was covered in cold sweat and looked a little absent-minded. After a while, she asked Huo Yuanchen blankly, "What happened to me just now?"

Huo Yuanchen didn't look good to her. He stared at her for a long time before he said with a frown, "How about you go see a psychiatrist?"
