Huo Changyao went back upstairs, Jiang Rui was already in the next room, the calligraphy on the wall showed the light of her room.
Although the two were neighbors and there was a passage in the middle, Huo Changyao had been busy during this time, and every time he came back, Jiang Rui had already fallen asleep. This was the first time he saw the light coming from the next door.
He took a quick shower and sat on the sofa reading a book. After a while, he heard someone humming a song intermittently next to his ear. He thought it was a gramophone, but after listening carefully, he realized that it was Qimei.
Although she didn't know what she was humming, her voice was surprisingly pleasant, and the tune was lively and lively, so you could tell that the host was in a good mood now.
Originally, when Huo Changyao was reading a book, he couldn't bear other interruptions the most, but now with her minor notes, he didn't feel noisy.
When the singing stopped, he unconsciously put the book down, tilted his head to recognize the movement next door, but heard the sound of opening and closing the door.
In order to hide people's eyes and ears, the door of the room next to him is usually not opened. He just wondered if Qimei had forgotten today, but suddenly realized that she did not open the door, but the bathroom door.
She went to take a bath.
Huo Changyao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, coughed dryly, and picked up the book again.
About half an hour later, there was no other sound from next door. Huo Changyao looked at the clock on the wall and frowned slightly.
Does it take so long to take a shower? Could she have fallen in the bathroom? Did you fall in the bathtub
Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still, stood up and took two steps.
I want to go and have a look, but it is not easy to step into the little girl's room.
After thinking for a while, he stood by the aisle and raised the volume slightly across the calligraphy paper on the wall, "Xiao Qi?"
After a few seconds, no one answered, he called again, but still no one answered, just as he was about to go over to take a look, he heard the bathroom door opened, and the person inside trotted over: "Brother, did you call me?"
Huo Changyao breathed a sigh of relief, followed by the tip of his nose and smelled a faint fragrance, which was different from the usual light smell on her body. Although this fragrance was not strong, it made people feel ambiguous and lingering for no reason.
"Xiao Qi, what does your body smell like?" he couldn't help asking.
Jiang Rui said, "It's the perfume that my eldest brother gave me today. I just sprayed it a little, and it smells good. I'll spray it next time I go to dance."
Huo Changyao frowned, there was already physical contact between men and women when dancing, if there was still this fragrance, really... He couldn't say anything, but he was worried that Seventh Sister would be disadvantaged on the dance floor, so he said, "This fragrance is not very good. "
"Ah, doesn't it smell bad?" Jiang Rui was a little disappointed.
The lamp on her side was close to the wall and was relatively bright. The light cast her figure on the calligraphy paper. Huo Changyao could see her raise her wrist and put it under her nose to smell it.
Seeing that she was not very happy, he added, "Big brother will give you something else tomorrow."
"Really?" She jumped excitedly again, "Thank you, big brother! By the way, did you just call me something?"
"… nothing."
Huo Changyao was about to ask her why she stayed in the bathroom for so long, but he swallowed the words.
After all, Xiao Qi never said that she was taking a bath. If he was curious and asked how he knew, should he say he heard it? He just listened to the movement next door, and he did it completely unconsciously. Now that he thinks about it carefully, he realizes that it is really inappropriate.
The younger sister is taking a shower, but the elder brother is listening, which is too absurd.
With this idea in mind, when Jiang Rui returned to the bathroom, he couldn't stay in the room, so he simply went out to the study, and only came back when he was sure that she was asleep.
The marriage of the two of them was originally unknown to the outside world. After Huo Changyao woke up, the rumors began to circulate in Fengcheng. The reason that Huo Dashuai was able to wake up this time was all thanks to his righteous sister.
The two people who were originally brothers and sisters, but now they are husband and wife, are really strange to outsiders. But due to the military power in the hands of the Huo family, no one dared to say anything more. At most, they only joked a few times in private, saying that the boss had foresight back then, and he brought a child bride to the Huo Dashuai early.
One day, Huo Changyao was invited to a banquet and needed to bring a female companion. In the past, he had asked Xu Hansheng to hire someone for him, but now to outsiders, he is married. If he hires a female companion, it will inevitably lead to speculation and question the new wife of the Huo family. status.
Although he and Xiaoqi were not married, he didn't want outsiders to look down on her, so he asked Jiang Rui that night if he was willing to accompany her.
"The dinner party? Whose?" Jiang Rui asked.
"President Chengdonglin's house, I remember you met her young lady?"
Jiang Rui suddenly said, "It's Lin Shanshan, she's still my classmate. No problem, big brother will let someone pick me up when the time comes."
Huo Changyao nodded, thought for a while, and then asked, "Do you want to make new clothes?"
"Yes, I haven't made a dress yet this summer, and I have to buy shoes. I will ask my sixth brother to accompany me tomorrow. He has a good eye and can help me carry my bag."
Huo Changyao originally thought that since he asked Xiao Qi to accompany him to the banquet, he should arrange a good outfit for her, but according to her meaning, he did not need his company.
Probably because he is closer to the sixth son than he is.
But she always ran away after saying a few words to him, but she couldn't get close even if she wanted to.
Since they are brothers and sisters, how can they always be so unfamiliar
Still more contact.
He said, "The sixth child has been busy recently. Brother, let's go with you."
"Huh?" Jiang Rui looked up at him.
Huo Changyao looked at her and moved away as if nothing had happened, "The sixth has military affairs."
Jiang Rui immediately saw that he was lying. Being a handsome man is still idle, where can a deputy go
But since he came up on his own, she didn't have to refuse, "Isn't eldest brother busy?"
"Not busy." Huo Changyao said, because just now, he decided to assign Xu Hansheng the task of patrolling the city tomorrow.
"That's fine, let's go for a walk tomorrow, let's go shopping together." Jiang Rui made a decision, "I'll go back to my room first, see you tomorrow, eldest brother."
Huo Changyao nodded and watched her pass through the passage.
Since it was a dinner party with female companions, most of them had to dance. Jiang Rui had not danced for a long time. Afraid of making a fool of herself, she turned the gramophone to a low volume and practiced alone in the room.
Next door, Huo Changyao just picked up the book when he heard low music, looked up and saw Youdao's slender figure reflected on the calligraphy paper between the two rooms, swaying lightly and gracefully.
It took him a while to realize that she was dancing, probably preparing for a banquet in a few days.
That figure appears and disappears from time to time, like a beautiful pattern on a revolving lantern, which makes people unconsciously look forward to when it will appear next time.
When the music stopped, Huo Changyao realized that he had finished reading it from beginning to end, and the book in his hand had not turned the page at the beginning.
The two went out together the next day. The Huo family makes clothes, and there are special tailors who come to make tailor-made clothes, but Jiang Rui still likes to go to the store to choose, and can see all kinds of fabrics and styles with her own eyes.
There are no more than three kinds of dresses for women nowadays, Han suit, cheongsam and western dress. Han suit is the top and bottom skirt. Cheongsam is divided into traditional cheongsam and improved cheongsam. Fashionable ladies love to wear improved cheongsam. The sleeves are getting shorter and shorter, the waist is getting thinner and the slit is getting higher and higher, which can fully reflect the beauty of women's curves.
Most of Pan Susu's clothes are improved cheongsam, which Jiang Rui also likes.
When she went to the store to measure her body and choose a style, she saw a snow-blue embroidered sleeveless close-fitting cheongsam. She picked it up and made a gesture on her body. She felt that it was about the same size as her own, so she went to the fitting room to change it.
Huo Changyao sat on the sofa and waited, even if he was sitting in a casual posture, his back was still as straight as loose.
The female customers in the store came and went, and every now and then a pair of eyes would glance at him, but he didn't move, his eyes looked at the door of the changing room.
The proprietress and tailor in the shop is a regular customer of the Huo family, but I haven't seen him much. It is rumored that Huo Dashuai is cold and tough, and he works vigorously and resolutely. Today, he will accompany the newlywed wife to make clothes, which is really surprising. It is said outside that the two got married because of their happiness. They have been brothers and sisters for more than ten years, so they may not have a relationship as husband and wife.
The proprietress came up to say hello, looking at him like that, it was obvious that strangers should not come near, he hesitated a few times, and finally did not dare to disturb him.
The door of the fitting room finally opened, and with a creak, everyone looked over subconsciously, and their eyes lit up.
The snow blue color is purple and blue, which is difficult for ordinary people to match, and it will become vulgar if you are not careful. But Jiang Rui's whole body is snow-white, and with this color, it is not only good, but also has a dusty temperament.
The most eye-catching thing is that this dress is designed to be close to the body, and it has high requirements on her figure. It can make her wear it, but her chest is a little tight, and her waist is looser. When she walks, her two fair and jade-like arms are light and light. Shaking lightly, in the high-cut skirt, the snow-white thighs are looming, not to mention the men, even the female customers can't take their eyes off it.
"Brother, how about this one?" Jiang Rui took a look in front of the mirror, feeling quite satisfied, she tilted her head and asked Huo Changyao.
Huo Changyao had just lost his mind for some unknown reason, and turned around after being called out by her. Just as he was about to nod his head to say yes, he suddenly saw someone else's reaction out of the corner of his eye, thinking of something, and turned his head to look outside the store. Sure enough, the first two men were standing outside the glass window. , was looking at his little seven in amazement.
frivolous. he frowned.
These men are so superficial. As an older brother, he naturally has to protect Xiao Qi and not let her suffer.
He stood up and strode towards Jiang Rui, using his figure to cover the eyes of others, "This one is not good-looking, let's change it."
The author has something to say:
Dashuai: I am a good brother.
Passerby: Haha.
