Chapter 461: A Surprise (2)

“Alright.” Mu Huan reached out to take it.

“If you accept it, that means I won’t owe you any favors in the future! I’ll take it that you’ve never saved me!” Huo Yuqi emphasized.

“Yes.”

Huo Yuqi: “…”

Why did this Mu Huan suddenly stop being so irritating?

When Huo Yuqi snapped back to her senses and realized what she was thinking, she hurriedly shook her head!

No! I can’t do this! I have to hate Mu Huan! I can’t betray Sister Ling Wei just because she saved me! I can’t like her!

Maybe the reason she saved me was so I’d betray Sister Ling Wei!

This woman is crafty and ruthless!

At this thought, Huo Yuqi stuffed the gift into Mu Huan’s hands and turned around to run.

Mu Huan looked at Huo Yuqi’s back and said, “Your cousin looks alright.”

She did not expect that Huo Yuqi would tell her parents about this and ask them to thank her. People like her who knew how to be grateful could never truly have a bad nature.

“She’s the only girl in the family, so she has been spoiled a little. Deep down, she’s pure and kind,” Bo Junyan said.

“Alright. I’ll protect her in school from now on.”

“You don’t have to worry about others. You just have to protect yourself. Yuqi has been learning self-defense since she was young. She has good instincts and reflexes. In the laboratory, even if you hadn’t protected her, she still might not have been harmed. On the other hand, your behavior was dangerous. You should have been the one being protected.” Bo Junyan didn’t know why such a delicate girl would want to protect others.

Compared to the tall and strong Bo Junyan, Mu Huan was really too petite, especially since she had always dressed in a demure style in front of him.

She had shoulder-length black hair, bangs, a pair of big, watery eyes, and was wearing a white doll-like dress. No matter how one looked at it, she looked like a soft and adorable little cutie. When people saw her, they couldn’t help but feel tender love for her, wanting to hold her in their palms and protect her.

Furthermore, she had a high fever that time after being rained on, and she had curled up in his embrace because of how recent events had got her feeling down. That petite and weak look of hers left a deep impression on Bo Junyan.

Also, she often shouted that she was weak and could not take it anymore, even though her running speed had surprised Bo Junyan.

However, the image of her being delicate and weak in Bo Junyan’s heart made him feel that she was the one who needed protection the most.

Mu Huan: “…”

She had always been the one protecting others and had never been protected.

“Be good…” He lowered his head out of habit and kissed her to make her behave.

Mu Huan: “…”

Didn’t he say that he had already seen through her nature? Why did he still keep doing this…

This was probably his catchphrase!

Yun University…

All the students wanted to participate in the research projects organized by several internationally renowned experts at Yun University. However, there were only three spots for the students. Other than Mu Huan, the other two students were all Ph.D. students who had a certain degree of academic success.

This made Mu Huan the target of all the students. They felt that no matter what, they shouldn’t have allowed a freshman to participate. They felt that regardless of whether it was in terms of knowledge or anything else, she, a freshman, was inferior to the older students. Besides, even if these experienced seniors couldn’t do it, there would still have been a lot of super awesome Ph.D. students in the research department. They shouldn’t have even considered Mu Huan!

Hence, there was a wave of opposition in the school. They all said that Mu Huan had relied on her wealthy husband to enter the school. Claiming that the school was making dirty deals, many students were protesting within the campus.
