You are the best in the world

Chapter 30 Rejection
Yan Mu was taken aback by Gu Chenhuai's clear voice.

She is not afraid of him, but a kind of respectful distance.

Playing the piano for him was something she had to do.

Now such a grand gathering, with so many people, if someone saw it, even if she had tens of millions of mouths, she wouldn't be able to tell.

Therefore, she had to avoid him.

Thinking of this, she took another small step back.

Gu Chenhuai narrowed his eyes slightly, and what was hidden in them was an unknown boredom.

Following the traces of Yan Mu's step, Gu Chenhuai looked cold, and took another step closer to her.

Because Gu Chenhuai seemed a little different tonight, so Yan Mu even forgot that there was a swimming pool behind her.

After that, she took another small step.

Maybe it was because her steps were a little hasty, and her high heels accidentally stepped on the hem of the evening dress.

So, leaning over, she fell backwards.

The slender body is like a bird that has lost its center of gravity and is about to fall into the water.

Looking at the sudden situation in front of him, Gu Chenhuai didn't have time to think, he immediately stretched out his arm to pull Yan Mu.

Quickly, his slender fingers touched Yan Mu's warm fingertips with lightning speed.

Just a little forward and he can pull her back.

The moment he touched Gu Chenhuai's fingers, a biting cold feeling overflowed his heart uncontrollably.

This feeling seems familiar...

It was like the feeling that the strange man under the big tree outside the villa gave her at the night banquet...

So, almost like a conditioned reflex, Yan Mu suddenly withdrew his hand back.

However, the second she retracted her finger, she regretted it.

Because, her body like a thin veil fell into the water with a "plop" in an instant.

In the air, Gu Chenhuai's still outstretched hand was inexplicably awkward.

Does she...do she hate his touch that much?
So annoying...would rather fall into the water than have him save her?
Frowning slightly, Gu Chenhuai's heart became more depressed.

After tonight, he felt that her opinion of Yan Mu had changed somewhat.

She hadn't noticed it before, but it turned out that she rejected him in this way.

Lifting his foot, Gu Chenhuai was about to leave.

However, after looking at Yan Mu in the swimming pool who was in a panic, his steps stopped again.

Condescending, he looked down at her with a cold expression.

"Ahem..." After choking on a few mouthfuls of water, Yan Mu slowly climbed up the edge of the swimming pool.

As soon as he climbed ashore, a pair of straight legs appeared in his sight.

Following the slender legs, the gaze slowly moved upwards, and what came into view was Gu Chenhuai's indifferent, handsome face that seemed to have no warmth at all.

"Cough cough..."

Overwhelmed by fright, Yan Mu couldn't help coughing twice again.

This Gu Bingshan, what on earth is he going to do?
Why are you approaching her step by step?

If it wasn't for him, she wouldn't have fallen into the water.

Thus, Yan Mu looked at Gu Chenhuai resentfully.

"Why did you suddenly withdraw your hand?"

Suppressing the chaos in his heart, Gu Chenhuai stared at Yan Mu.

"Just now... I... I accidentally retracted my hand. I didn't intend to do this..."

Indeed, if it wasn't for the temperature of Gu Chenhuai's hand that made her heart tremble, she wouldn't have been able to withdraw her hand suddenly.

However, Gu Chenhuai really wanted to help her just now, so Yan Mu slowly explained.

Gu Chenhuai frowned, and opened his lips casually, "Accidentally retracted your hand?"

Yan Mu nodded embarrassingly, "Well, yes..."

No joy or anger could be seen on Gu Chenhuai's face, "What a careless one."

Yan Mu was drenched all over, she wanted to go home, but she couldn't.

Because, if she went back in such a state of embarrassment, the servants at home would surely spread the word if they saw her.

If her parents knew about it, how would she explain it?
Concentrating her eyes, she looked at Gu Chenhuai, "Mr. Gu, I...can you do me a favor?"
