It started snowing on the second day of camping.
Maria said excitedly: "There is a ski resort nearby. In two days, the lake will still be frozen! You can go there and play."
But Zhong Yuhuan was too cold to ski or skate.
She returned the coat to Li Jinyuan and Li Jinyuan, wrapped herself in a blanket from head to toe, and got out of the tent.
A French boy saw Zhong Yuhuan coming out wrapped in a blanket and walked towards her excitedly. But before he could get closer, he saw Li Jinyuan coming out again.
The French boy paused knowingly, turned a corner on the spot, and walked in another direction.
Zhong Yuhuan was a little puzzled, and she couldn't help but turn around: "Do I look particularly ugly like this?"
Ugly
Li Jinyuan's eyes fell on her.
Her hair had not yet been tied up, and the blanket was gathered up, almost covering her whole body, and the hair on her cheeks was slightly messy.
It looks so small.
It was as if you could encircle her whole body with a single movement of your fingers.
Not only is it not ugly.
Also extremely beautiful.
The whole body is beautiful and soft, making people want to hold it in their hands.
"Not ugly." Li Jinyuan whispered.
Zhong Yuhuan was even more puzzled: "Then why did he run away when he saw me?"
"My brain is frozen." Li Jinyuan said casually.
"Aren't you going to play?" Zhong Yuhuan pointed in the direction of the others. They brought their own ski equipment and prepared to go up the mountainside.
Li Jinyuan frowned: "It's colder on the mountain. If the temperature drops again, we may not be able to go down the mountain smoothly."
Zhong Yuhuan thought about it. She turned around and looked inside the tent. Huo Chengming was leaning in front of the small table, leaning on one hand and hunching his back. He was so tired that he fell asleep again.
"Are you still playing?" Zhong Yuhuan asked.
Li Jinyuan shook his head: "No need."
They didn't come here just to have fun.
"Then pack up and let's go home early." After Zhong Yuhuan finished speaking, he couldn't help but glance in Huo Chengming's direction again. Since she is so tired, there is no need to go camping with her.
"Yeah. Okay." Li Jinyuan smiled: "Go home."
Li Jinyuan went back to pack his things, while Zhong Yuhuan came to Huo Chengming's side and woke him up.
Huo Chengming pressed his temples and whispered, "How long have I been sleeping?"
"It won't take long. Let's go to bed in the car later."
Huo Chengming's tense facial features relaxed.
Zhong Yuhuan couldn't help but frown.
Li Jinyuan came over and said, "I have already called Brother Wei. The driver will pick us up soon."
Huo Chengming looked at Zhong Yuhuan: "Are you ready to go back? Huanhuan doesn't want to play anymore?"
Zhong Yuhuan shook his head: "There's nothing new about camping, not to mention it looks like it's going to cool down, so go back early. School will start again in a few days."
Huo Chengming nodded.
He came here just to see who Langdon was, who Joseph was, who Maria was, etc. Everyone had already seen it, so of course there was no need to stay here. He is not the Huo Chengming he used to be. Camping, playing games, skiing, and skating are no longer new things to him. Of course, he couldn't keep his interest.
The three of them packed their things together and moved their suitcases and backpacks outside the tent.
Maria came to call them just in time.
"Aren't you going to go skiing?" Maria looked regretful.
"No, it's so cold." Zhong Yuhuan said, wrapping the blanket tighter around him. She felt that this thing was more useful than Huo Chengming's clothes.
Maria looked at Zhong Yuhuan's little face. Zhong Yuhuan's cheeks turned slightly white. Maria's eyes were full of heartache, so she couldn't say anything else.
"Okay, then let's go to the farm together next time. When summer comes, I will take you to pick fruits and milk cows." Maria said helplessly.
"Okay, you go skiing, bye." Zhong Yuhuan bent his fingers at her and made a goodbye gesture.
Maria blew a kiss to her, then turned and left.
The expressions of Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming changed at that time.
Especially Huo Chengming's face turned dark immediately.
When they were at the Zhong family, they hoped to go abroad with Zhong Yuhuan and live a life of just three people. From then on, we truly depended on each other. But now, they suddenly feel that returning to China is a good choice. At least in China, there wouldn't be so many unrestrained and enthusiastic people who show their affection for Zhong Yuhuan regardless of the occasion or time.
The number of people in the campsite gradually decreased, and they all headed up the mountain.
The surroundings soon became quiet, with only the sound of the wind rustling the leaves.
Zhong Yuhuan tilted her head and looked at Li Jinyuan, then at Huo Chengming. She whispered, "Are you particularly afraid that I will be unhappy?"
Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming were startled at the same time. Neither of them expected that she would ask such a question.
Huo Chengming said nothing.
Li Jinyuan first looked at Zhong Yuhuan's face, and then said aloud: "Of course I hope you can always be happy. That's what I thought when I first arrived at Zhong's house."
"Actually, if you are very tired, you don't have to accompany me to do something. I won't be unhappy because of it." Zhong Yuhuan thought about it and couldn't help but say it.
"Okay." Li Jinyuan smiled slightly: "I remember."
Li Jinyuan's smile was so deceptive that Zhong Yuhuan couldn't tell whether he really remembered it or not.
Zhong Yuhuan had no choice but to look at Huo Chengming, but Huo Chengming still didn't make a sound.
The car arrived just at this time.
The driver parked the car, got out and helped get the luggage. After putting their luggage away, everyone was ready to get in the car and return.
Zhong Yuhuan got into the car first and sat in the third row. Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming got on the bus one after another and sat in the second row. After Li Jinyuan briefly greeted the driver, the car started.
Zhong Yuhuan was wrapped in a small blanket, the temperature was suitable, she closed her eyes and fell asleep for a while.
When she woke up, the car had only been driving for half an hour. Li Jinyuan leaned on his seat and fell asleep, but Huo Chengming did not fall asleep. He lowered his head and was replying to some message on his mobile phone.
Zhong Yuhuan slowly sat up and poked Huo Chengming's back with his finger. Huo Chengming froze for a moment and immediately turned his head: "Are you awake?" His voice was very low, with a different kind of charming flavor.
Zhong Yuhuan nodded, leaned on his back, and asked quietly: "Brother Chengming, why didn't you speak just now?"
Huo Chengming lowered his head: "What did you say?"
Zhong Yuhuan poked his back angrily: "Why are you so bored?"
Huo Chengming paused and asked, "Are you bored?"
Zhong Yuhuan looked at his expression, fearing to shock him, and whispered: "Just a little bit. But that's not the problem. The problem is... you didn't speak today."
Huo Chengming turned off his phone, turned his head slightly, and whispered, "I'm happy to do this."
"Huh?" Zhong Yuhuan was stunned for a moment.
"I'll do anything with you. I'm happy to do it." Huo Chengming said solemnly, with a hint of going his own way.
Zhong Yuhuan was stunned.
Huo Chengming suddenly asked, "Are you angry that Li Jinyuan and I are in charge of your love affairs?"
Zhong Yuhuan shook his head blankly: "I won't be angry. I have told you before that I really treat you as family. So, this should be regarded as a family's privilege. You are my brother, of course you will care about me, Will discipline me."
Huo Chengming responded in a low voice: "Yes."
Huo Chengming has also thought about this problem.
Back when I was opening greeting cards.
No, even earlier. Not long after they arrived at Zhong's house, they found out that when her mother was here, she had made a verbal engagement with another boy. When the so-called Young Master Nan appeared, he felt strong unhappiness and even possessiveness in his heart.
Huo Chengming didn't want this either, but he couldn't control such thoughts.
Huo Chengming understood a truth when he was in the orphanage.
What you need must be grabbed and held by yourself. Whether it’s clothing, food, or the chance of being adopted. If you are not sure, no one will pity you. Because everyone is so pitiful, who can share that little bit of compassion with others
There was so little he could hold in his hands.
But at least he wanted to hold on to Zhong Yuhuan.
That possessiveness was almost engraved into his bones, into his instincts.
Even as time changes, more and more things are in hand.
He still just wanted to keep her in his circle. This will make him feel extremely satisfied and at ease.
Huo Chengming put away his thoughts, turned around, and asked in a low voice: "Are you still sleeping?"
Zhong Yuhuan shook his head: "I slept too much and couldn't fall asleep. You should sleep a little longer, you are too tired."
"I'm not tired." Huo Chengming turned on his phone again: "I'll play games with you for a while."
Zhong Yuhuan slid down from her seat and half-crouched behind Huo Chengming's seat. She raised her hands to cover his eyes: "Okay, from now on, Mr. Huo can only close his eyes and cannot open them anymore."
After saying that, she pulled off her little blanket and threw it on Huo Chengming: "I'll rent it to you temporarily, wrap it up well."
Huo Chengming helplessly wrapped the blanket himself: "Your eyes are closed, take your hands back."
This posture was also awkward, so Zhong Yuhuan retracted his hand calmly.
"Go to sleep."
"Um."
Silence returned to the car.
Zhong Yuhuan then lay back on the sofa again, took his mobile phone and started playing stand-alone games by himself.
Sitting on the left side of the second row, Li Jinyuan slowly opened his eyes, but he only glanced at the roof of the car before closing them again.
He also wanted to know, would she be angry if he and Huo Chengming interfered with her relationship
But he didn't ask.
His personality made him accustomed to hiding all questions and true answers deep in his heart.
How could he dare to say it if he wasn't completely sure
The Li Jinyuan of the past is the Li Jinyuan of nothing.
But after leaving the orphanage, Li Jinyuan regained support. So I will become more cautious after that.
He wanted to be nice to her, and he also wanted to use this trivial kindness to tie her up for a longer time. As for how long? He doesn't know either.
Li Jinyuan felt a little confused.
But at least, at least the family can be maintained longer without anyone trying to snatch Zhong Yuhuan away.
