After hearing the man's voice, Wen Li relaxed completely.

She was so angry that she kicked him and said, "Huo Yuanchen, you didn't sleep in the middle of the night and ran downstairs of my house to play tricks. It was fun, right? You scared me to death."

Huo Yuanchen rubbed his hands and said, "I don't have the habit of playing tricks. I came to you to get my things."

He paused, and said with a somewhat dissatisfied tone, "You disappeared for three months after we broke up. I left some of my things at your house, and I never had the chance to take them away."

Wen Li was still in shock. Upon hearing this, he said unhappily, "Why didn't you call me in advance to tell me?"

Huo Yuanchen raised his eyebrows, "You blocked me, how can I call?"

Wen Li frowned and said, "When did I block you? Can you please stop spitting blood at me?"

Huo Yuanchen didn't say anything. He took out his cell phone and dialed her number in front of her.

Wen Li's cell phone rang soon. She took it out of her bag and showed him her phone, signaling him with her eyes, "Look, I don't even bother to block you."

Huo Yuanchen hung up the phone and said without any emotion, "I misunderstood you. I will notify you in advance when I come over next time."

Wen Li didn't notice the word "later" in his words. She was still in shock and was looking for something in the dark on the ground with her head down.

Huo Yuanchen stood and watched her looking for something. After waiting for a while, he became a little impatient and asked her, "What are you looking for?"

Wen Li said without even looking up , "I was looking for my shoes. I lost them because you scared me."

She didn't know what was so funny about this sentence. As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Huo Yuanchen laugh twice in a low, deep voice, looking very happy.

"I'll help you find it," he said, turning on the built-in flashlight in his phone to help her find the shoes.

The shoes were not far away, so he found them quickly, brought them to her and put them on, saying, "Hold me."

Wen Li refused, "Put your shoes down and I'll put them on myself."

He didn't insist and placed the high heels side by side on the ground. Wen Li looked taller after putting on the shoes, but she still looked petite in front of him.

He said, "From an ergonomic point of view, I suggest you wear less high heels, as they are not good for your health."

Wen Li rolled her eyes at him, ignored him, and turned to walk upstairs.

He didn't say much and followed her.

When Wen Li opened the door, she asked Huo Yuanchen to wait at the door. She said, "What do you want to take? I'll find it for you."

He stopped at the door and said what he wanted to take one by one, from small things like cufflinks to big things like a suit jacket he forgot here one day, a signature pen with the academic forum logo printed on it that was "very memorable", and a USB drive that contained important information...

You wouldn't know until you tell me, there are so many things. Wen Li had a headache listening to him, and couldn't remember what he had said, so he hurriedly told him to stop, "Forget it, just come in and get it yourself."

He walked in, found his slippers and put them on, then went to find the band-aid as if he knew where to go, and asked her, "Do you have any disinfectant left? You bit my hand."

Wen Li said to him impatiently, "Why don't you just go to the hospital and get vaccinated. Otherwise, you will have headaches and fevers in the future, and you will suspect that I have the rabies virus."

He hummed, and said, "It's not that troublesome."

Wen Li had just run around and was sweating, so she wanted to wait until he finished taking his things and left before taking a shower. But his things were scattered all over the place, and he went in and out several times but didn't seem to have finished cleaning them up.

She couldn't help but urge him, "Are you ready? Hurry up."

He answered her slowly, "It's better to get them all at once. Otherwise, if you forget anything, I'll have to come back to find you later."

Wen Li thought about it and realized that this was true. She didn't want to have any more contact with him and waited patiently for him to clean up.

As a result, we waited until midnight.

She was so sleepy that she was about to fall asleep on the sofa when she heard him say, "I'm leaving."

She responded dazedly and waved him away.

He walked to the door and paused again, seeming to be a little hesitant. After a while, he spoke, "You live alone, so learn to protect yourself. You should refrain from bringing a man home so late at night like today. It's not safe."

Wen Li was very sleepy, and felt that he was controlling her too much. They had already broken up, but he still kept interfering in her affairs like before, which was really annoying.

She opened the drawer under the coffee table, which was filled with snacks such as potato chips and spicy strips, all of which were "junk food" that he had not allowed her to eat before. She took a bag of spicy strips, walked to him, opened it in front of him, and ate it with a mouthful of red oil. After eating, she did not forget to suck the seasoning on her fingers.

"Professor Huo is used to supervising students, but I have graduated many years ago and I hate being supervised the most."

She said it in front of him with a haughty tone.

Why should he care about her? It's so annoying.

Huo Yuanchen's gaze lingered on her lips for a few seconds. They were very red, very bright, and very...soft.

His Adam's apple moved, and he said expressionlessly, "I am just reminding you to be careful as a friend. Since you don't want to listen, I won't say it. After all, you and I have nothing to do with each other now."

Wen Li waved at him , "Professor Huo, goodbye."

She put her hands on the door frame, as if waiting for the door to close, and it was obvious that she was trying to get rid of the guest.

He said nothing more and walked out.

Wen Li took a shower and went to sleep. When she woke up the next morning, she found an unread message from Huo Yuanchen on her phone. He didn't say anything, but just forwarded her a popular science article that analyzed the harm of junk food to the human body from a very professional perspective.

Wen Li quit reading halfway through. She looked at the time the message was sent. It was past midnight, and Huo Yuanchen had just left her house. It was amazing that he had the time to find a popular science article to educate her while carrying so many things to drive.

But if you don't respond to someone immediately, the longer you delay, the weaker your momentum will be. It's been seven or eight hours since she sent the message, and if she sends another message to respond to him, it will seem petty.

Wen Li deleted Huo Yuanchen's chat box expressionlessly, washed up, and drove to the studio.

When she was about to drive downstairs to the studio, she saw from a distance a convertible parked in front of the building. Except for the driver's seat, the car was exaggeratedly filled with bright red roses. There were many people gathered around, all holding up their mobile phones to take pictures of the luxury car.

She thought to herself, I don’t know which rich second-generation guy is pursuing someone in such a lavish way. This scene must be enough to scare the girl.

When her car got closer, she felt that the tall and straight figure in front of the car looked familiar. After looking at it carefully, she immediately turned the steering wheel, trying to go around the back of the building and then enter the garage.

Unfortunately, it’s too late.

Meng Jinnian pulled himself out from a sea of roses and walked straight towards her with a smile on his face.

He stood in front of her car and looked at her affectionately through the glass.

The crowd suddenly became agitated, and countless eager eyes were cast towards her, nervously watching her reaction.

In anticipation, Meng Jinnian spoke affectionately, "Xiao Li, are you willing to give me another chance to pursue you again? I promise that this time, I will hold you in my hands, cherish you and treat you like a treasure."

Wen Li sighed, took out his cell phone and made a call.
