Chapter 16 - Arc 1: Chapter 17

However, it was a pity that Huo Chen refused Lin Yuan's excellence and coldly said two words: "No need."

The next morning, Lin Yuan got up at six o'clock. He had to think of a way to let Huo Chen eat breakfast.

At around seven o'clock, Huo Chen came downstairs and his face was gloomy like a cloudy sky. The hand made suit was straightened to the point not even a wrinkle could be seen, and his leather shoes were clean and dust-free.

At this time, Huo Chen was similar to a crazy beast bound under the shackles of human civilization. He had an aura of confined elegance, and a deliberately created sense of exquisiteness, but his essence was still dark and crazy.

Lin Yuan could immediately tell that Huo Chen didn't sleep much last night. Actually, the system mall contained disposable props to force sleep, which only cost ten points to redeem.

But Lin Yuan only had his initial 100 points. Even if all of them were exchanged for Huo Chen, it was only a short term solution for a period of urgency.

Although Lin Yuan was simple-minded, he wasn't stupid. This way was useless and couldn't help Huo Chen, it was just like drinking poison to quench thirst.

So, first save the mission target's stomach.

Lin Yuan walked in front of Huo Chen and looked up with bent eyes and said: "Huo Chen, I got up at six o'clock. I was waiting to have breakfast with you."

Huo Chen naturally knew that Lin Yuan was going to be waiting in the living room, he said this last night. Originally he didn't want to pay attention and leave directly, but when he heard the other say he woke up at six, he was stunned and looked at Housekeeper Yuan beside him.

The elder nodded, indicating that Lin Yuan really did come down at six o'clock to wait for him.

Huo Chen's eyes darkened and looked even more unclear. His voice was extremely hoarse: "I don't want to eat. You eat by yourself."

Lin Yuan was not surprised Huo Chen would say so, but the meal must be eaten: "Can you just eat a little? I want to eat together with you."

He wanted to hug Huo Chen. He learned yesterday that Huo Chen liked hugs. So even when he wanted to go out for a walk or wear couple's clothing, once he hugged Huo Chen, the other would agree.

However, at this time, Huo Chen was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and no wrinkle could be seen. Lin Yuan didn't want to mess up Huo Chen's clothes, so after thinking about it, he took initiative to hold the other's hand.

The man's body temperature was cold. The moment his fingers touched the other party's skin, Lin Yuan felt as if he held a piece of cold jade, the type of coldness emitting from the inside.

Huo Chen felt like he was scalded when their skin touched. The warmth from Lin Yuan's fingers spread unimpeded, heating up his skin.

"Husband, accompany me~~ I just got married here, and actually I'm a little scared. I'm embarrassed to eat an extra bowl. You're my husband, my closest person, and I'm your closest person. Can't you accompany me for breakfast?"

These words were pure nonsense, who didn't know how active Lin Yuan was while eating. He almost ate three bowls of rice at Huo's house yesterday, and ate the most out of everyone.

Huo Chen felt strange from the heat from Lin Yuan's hand. He was about to pull his hand away, when he heard Housekeeper Yuan from the side say: "Sir, the young master is still young. You both have just married, and he just wants to spend more time with you."

Lin Yuan heard Housekeeper Yuan speak for him and quickly nodded: "Yes, yes~ I want you to spend more time with me~"

Huo Chen expressionlessly looked at this pair of old and young speaking nonsense with their eyes open and wanted to directly pull away his hand. But Lin Yuan guessed what he wanted to do and his other hand also held on tightly, gripping his hand like a vine.

"Huo Chen~" Lin Yuan was pitiful, and his eyes seemed to be a little teary.

Huo Chen felt that Lin Yuan was a little clingy, but since even the housekeeper spoke for him, he said: "Let's go and eat."

Lin Yuan agreed happily.

At noon, in the Huo enterprise building, Housekeeper Yuan stood outside the door carrying a big lunchbox. He glanced at the Huo building and then looked at the young man sitting in the car and hesitated: "Young master, how about you send this to Sir?"

Lin Yuan wanted to, but last night when he said he was going to deliver food, Huo Chen clearly rejected him. So Lin Yuan could only play tricks. Huo Chen only said that he couldn't send, not that the housekeeper couldn't send.

"Nevermind, he doesn't want me to send it." Lin Yuan's voice seemed a little aggrieved.

Hearing him say this, Housekeeper Yuan could only sigh: "Okay, I'll send it."

Lin Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you, Housekeeper Yuan, sorry to trouble you."

It wasn't the first time Housekeeper Yuan came to the Huo building. He called Huo Chen's assistant directly. With Huo Chen's permission, the assistant immediately came down to bring him to the office.

Putting the lunchbox on the coffee table, Housekeeper Yuan walked to the desk and smiled towards Huo Chen, who was sitting behind the desk, and said: "Sir, the young master asked me to bring you food."

Huo Chen looked at the lunchbox and guessed what was going on. He looked as indifferent as usual, with no fluctuations, but he had an indescribable feeling in his heart: "Don't send it again in the future."

Housekeeper Yuan smiled and said: "The young master is worried about your body. He said that you wouldn't let him deliver food, so he didn't dare send it to the office in person. He let me send it and is waiting downstairs by himself."

Huo Chen didn't expect Lin Yuan to come. His eyes slightly deepened and he couldn't help but think of Lin Yuan's appearance when he looked at him every time. With a pitiful expression, and his eyes seemed to always hold wisps of moisture, like a soft and harmless small animal, distressing and obedient.

"He, Lin Yuan…" Huo Chen paused for a moment and asked unnaturally: "Has he eaten yet?"

"Already ate." Housekeeper Yuan said.

Huo Chen nodded: "Go back then."

"Yes."

After Housekeeper Yuan left, Huo Chen sat behind the desk and eyed the lunchbox on the coffee table. His eyes were as dark as the night sky, without a sliver of light. After a while, he lowered his head and prepared to continue to deal with the work in his hand, when his mobile phone suddenly rang.

It was a video call from Lin Yuan.

Huo Chen's slender fingers hovered over the hang-up button, but did not click down in the end. He just casually threw the phone to the side and waited for the other party to take the initiative to disconnect.

Soon, the sound disappeared, and the office returned to silence.

Because of the recent noise, at this moment, the office seemed even more quiet, as if there wasn't a trace of vitality, only leaving endless still darkness and haze.

Until the sound rang again.

Huo Chen looked at the phone screen that lit up again with Lin Yuan's name glowing particularly clearly.

Staring at those two words, his thoughts slowly extended, like a long thread of silk. On one end was the current moment, and on the other end was yesterday morning, the continuous knocking.

Huo Chen's heart was gradually wrapped in this silk thread and slightly tightened. He thought, since yesterday Lin Yuan continued knocking for a long time, if he didn't pick up, then he probably would continue to call.

In the next moment, Huo Chen felt as if his body was tied to an invisible string. His fingers raised uncontrollably and like a puppet, he agreed to Lin Yuan's video call.

Lin Yuan's handsome and pretty face appeared on the screen. He saw Huo Chen and immediately smiled, his voice called softly and sweetly: "Huo Chen~"

Through the icy cold machine, Huo Chen met the eyes of Lin Yuan across the screen for a few seconds. Lin Yuan's eyes were clear and bright, clear enough to see through at a glance, and as if he saw something dark and dirty that was reflected, Huo Chen unnaturally turned his head away to avoid his line of sight: "...En."

"Did you eat?" Lin Yuan cared about this the most.

"No."

When Lin Yuan heard that he said: "Quickly eat or it will get cold, which is not good for your stomach."

Huo Chen still didn't move. His stomach hurt and he had no appetite: "I'm not hungry."

"Eat a little even if you're not hungry." Lin Yuan was anxious enough to turn in circles: "Husband, go eat okay? Eating just a little is fine too."

Huo Chen felt like his illness probably got worse, more morbid and gloomy than before, like he could see layers of evil spirits.

Otherwise, why did he see Lin Yuan anxious to this point? There was a subtle pleasure in his heart, like he was happy to see other people in pain.

[Di! Congrats host, the villain's blackening value has decreased to 70%.]
