afternoon.
The underground auction house in the north of the city.
"You go to the box first, I'll come over later." Min Yu was wearing a black windbreaker with a turtleneck sweater of the same color inside. He looked at Huo Yao and asked Zhuo Yun to be responsible for her safety.
Huo Yao nodded, and followed Zhuo Yun to the luxurious wing upstairs.
The privacy design of the box is good, from the inside you can see the auction situation downstairs in detail, but you can't see the inside from the outside.
Huo Yao sat on the chair and scanned the bustling downstairs, his eyes skipped the security monitoring where he could, which was very strict.
Full sense of anti-thief.
Before the auction started so soon, Huo Yao looked away again, and took out the phone from his pocket in boredom.
As soon as I clicked on it, a WeChat message from Yuan Xi was displayed on the notification bar, which was sent ten minutes ago.
The content is to ask her if she has any plans for today.
Seeing this finger tap the screen, Huo Yao sent her a message back.
Yuan Xi over there was holding on to the phone all the time, seeing Huo Yao's reply, he was inexplicably relieved, and quickly typed a reply: [No. . . Since you have something to do, then you are busy.]
Huo Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, thought for a while, and then replied: [If you need help, just tell me, you're welcome.]
Looking at this message, Yuan Xi's throat was inexplicably astringent, and she squeezed the phone tightly with her fingers. It took a long time for her to suppress the guilt in her heart, and replied: [Damn, I was quarreled by the three roommates in the dormitory who love BB all the time. I'm upset, that's why I want to ask you to come out to play.]
Huo Yao listened to Yuan Xi's complaints about her roommate a lot, so she didn't think too much about it, and just sent her back an emoji.
Yuan Xi didn't continue to send messages, and just sat in a chair in a daze. The door of the room was ajar, and Mother Yuan came in with a plate of fruit.
"Why are you wearing so little clothes?" Seeing that her daughter was only wearing a thin piece of home clothes, Yuan's mother put down the plate, then hurriedly went to the cloakroom to find a thick down jacket, and put it on Yuan Xi.
Only then did Yuan Xi come back to his senses, and raised his head to look at his mother, "Um, Mom, when did you come in?"
Mother Yuan reached out and squeezed her cold little hand, and said, "You said that your child has been acting weird since he came back last night. Is something wrong?"
There was no blood on Yuan Xi's face, and she seemed to be in a bad state of mind. She forced a smile, shook her head and said, "No, it's Mom. I heard Yuan Huan said that you and Dad are planning to go abroad for the Spring Festival?"
"What Yuan Huan, that's your brother." Mother Yuan corrected her daughter, pulled the chair next to her and sat down, then said, "I have this plan, but it's not me and your father, our family will go together."
The corners of Yuan Xi's lips twitched slightly, and then he held his mother's hand back, and said, "What's so interesting abroad, why don't you just stay in the capital?"
"It's your father who wants to take us out to play. It's rare for him to take a longer vacation this year, so he simply plans to travel abroad." Mother Yuan explained.
Yuan Xi bit her lip, shook her head, and pleaded, "Can we not go?"
Mother Yuan seldom saw her daughter speak like this, and she was a little dazed, "Xiaoxi, you..."
Yuan Xi knew that even if she told Yuan Huan another face, her mother would not believe her, instead she would only think that she was prejudiced against Yuan Huan and thought she was ignorant.
Taking a deep breath, Yuan Xi said seriously: "Some places abroad are too chaotic and unsafe."
