Star Boss, she is beautiful and sassy - Chapter 818 818
So he reached out and took the tie.
However, looking at the objects in his hands, he did not immediately wipe the water droplets on his face and hair.
The look in his eyes was dark and unclear. After a long time, he sighed softly.
“Thank you.” Ares thanked him.
Then, he used Charlotte’s tie to wipe the water droplets on his face.
Charlotte responded casually: “It’s me who should say thank you. If you hadn’t blocked it for me before, I would have been showered with more fountain water.”
It was only at this moment that Charlotte finally said her original words of thanks.
Hearing this, Ares stopped wiping his hands and turned to look at Charlotte.
He didn’t expect that he would be discovered by her even though he had done it very covertly.
She is indeed sharp-minded.
Ares was about to speak when he caught a glimpse of something.
For a moment, he avoided looking away.
She had always had her back turned to him, so he failed to notice this detail.
Now that he was talking to her head-on, no matter how gentlemanly and well-educated he was, knowing what to see and what not to see, he would never be able to remain ignorant for a long time.
With his powers of observation, he would have discovered it a long time ago if he hadn’t been in an unstable mood due to her actions just now.
So Ares immediately avoided it.
“Wait a minute, I’m leaving for a while and I’ll be back soon.” He said, looking away.
He was obviously talking to her, but he stubbornly refused to look at her.
Ares wiped the water droplets on his face casually, and quickly returned the black tie to Charlotte.
His actions were so perfunctory that he didn’t even bother with the water stains on his hair.
He suddenly felt so rushed, and he didn’t know what he was in a hurry for.
And from the beginning to the end, he never looked at Charlotte again.
Charlotte was quite puzzled by all this.
What’s wrong with him?
Originally, their conversation was quite harmonious.
Even though Ares looked a little uncomfortable, at least he was looking at her when he spoke.
Charlotte was not sure what was the reason for his sudden change.
Could it be that he was angry because of her?
After carefully thinking about the cause and effect of the matter, Charlotte felt that this was also possible.
It’s just that I didn’t see him angry when he fell into the water just now. It took so long for him to have an attack?
Is his reflex arc too long?
Although Charlotte was puzzled, she decided to apologize simply.
So, she said sincerely: “Sorry, it was my fault just now.”
Charlotte is not a character who insists on saving face and refuses to admit her mistakes, but she will definitely not apologize often.
Now, even facing Charlotte like this, Ares still didn’t look at her.
However, he was obviously silent for a long time, as if he didn’t understand why Charlotte suddenly apologized.
Because of her sudden words, he delayed his departure and failed to make a temporary trip elsewhere as he had expected.
He stopped where he was, thinking silently.
After a while, he finally realized what Charlotte was referring to.
He almost failed to keep up with Charlotte’s conversation.
Not for anything else, just because his thoughts are confused now and he really can’t concentrate.
This series of unexpected events made it difficult for him to maintain his usual composure.
It seemed that she could always easily disrupt his peace and stability.
After a long time, Ares finally said: “No, it’s my problem. I wanted to take you away just now, but I didn’t expect you to stand up suddenly.”
His voice was low and heart-stirring.
Although he didn’t blame her, the meaning of his words had confirmed Charlotte’s guess.
Well, it was exactly what she thought.
When she stood up just now, the wheelchair behind her also moved quickly at the same time, which delayed her from avoiding the furry guy.
Now that I think about it, he wanted to help her with good intentions, but he didn’t expect that she could be self-reliant.
But he wasn’t angry about it?
Then… what was the reason for the sudden abnormality just now?
Charlotte didn’t quite understand it, so she simply didn’t think about it and turned her attention elsewhere.
“Who was that guy who jumped on my face earlier?” Following this topic, she looked around, trying to find the figure of the furry guy.
Ares’s voice sounded at the right time: “That’s Grip Civet. It usually doesn’t take the initiative to hurt people. It probably fell from the tree accidentally.”
As he spoke, he looked at a big tree next to him.
A lush tree with deep roots and luxuriant leaves, and extended and staggered branches.
The crown of the tree is like a giant green umbrella, verdant and full of vitality.
Charlotte followed his line of sight, but found nothing.
How could there be any Grip civets on that leafy tree?
Even if there is, I’m afraid it’s carefully hidden.
Now, the civet has long disappeared, and Charlotte has no idea what to do with it.
Just as she was looking at the big tree, Ares suddenly stood in front of her and slowly squatted down.
In an instant, he was slightly shorter than her.
However, this person already has an innate height advantage. Even if he squats down, the gap between him and Xia Luo will not be too big.
In front of the wheelchair, he slightly raised his head to look at her, while she slightly lowered her eyes.
The two people’s eyes were still very close, and there was no obstacle to looking at each other.
However, his low profile made Charlotte very puzzled.
Under Charlotte’s doubtful eyes, Ares only looked at her face, checking something carefully.
Suddenly, Charlotte understood his intention.
“How are you? Are you injured?” she asked directly.
Ares’s eyes were focused and serious, checking bit by bit.
He even reached out his hand and brushed away the strands of hair from her forehead and ears, leaving no part untouched.
Although his fingertips were completely dry, it might be because he had been in contact with her wet hair for a long time, or because he was more wet than she was. In short, the temperature of his fingers was not high.
It felt cool when it touched her face.
But obviously Xia Luo was not much better, but she could clearly feel the coolness on his hands.
The pads of his fingers were not delicate, and they even felt a little rough when they rubbed against the skin on her face.
She could feel the broadness of his palms and the distinct joints of his five fingers.
No matter how fair and slender they look, these are the hands of a man, and they are used to being on the battlefield, so they can never be smooth and delicate.
Charlotte felt the strange touch on her face, and the contrast was a bit strong.
But she didn’t say anything to stop him and just let him check.
Ares did not “flip” her face casually, but was cautious and minimized the contact with each other as much as possible.
After a long time, he said: “Fortunately, there are no external injuries.”
After checking, he looked at Charlotte again.
In fact, he took a quick look at the fountain just now and found no wounds.
Now, it’s just a matter of taking the opportunity to confirm it carefully.
Until it was confirmed that she was fine, Ares had “free time” to talk about other things.
