Huo Yanxi was agitated by Huo Yao's incident, and she was a little absent-minded when chatting with Lu Xia afterwards.
After eating, Huo Yanxi drove Lu Xia back directly.
At the gate, Lu Xia asked while unfastening his seat belt, "Brother, why don't you come in and sit down? My father said several times before that he asked me to call you."
Huo Yanxi put his hands on the steering wheel, glanced at the Lu family's big villa outside the car window, and shook his head, "No, it's too late, and it's not suitable, let's try another day."
Disappointment flashed across Lu Xia's eyes, but she still kept a ladylike smile on her face, "Okay then, brother, please drive carefully, I'll be back first."
After a pause, as if remembering something, Lu Xia winked playfully at him again: "By the way, big brother, don't forget your promise with me tomorrow."
Huo Yanxi was stunned.
"It was you who promised me that you would send me to school in person when school started. Did you really forget?" Lu Xia pressed her heart pretending to be sad.
Huo Yanxi came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head, "I haven't forgotten."
After hearing the words, Lu Xia said with a smile: "That's good, you go home quickly, I'm getting off the car, see you tomorrow!"
Huo Yanxi hummed lightly, but just a second before Lu Xia opened the door and was about to get out of the car, he suddenly thought of Huo Yao again, and he stopped her almost subconsciously, "Xia Xia."
Lu Xia turned her head and looked at him inexplicably, "Huh?"
The girl's eyes are clear, her pretty face is soft, and she looks well-behaved and sensible.
Huo Yan hoped for her, suddenly pursed his lips and smiled, then shook his head, "It's nothing, I just forgot to ask you about what time you will report to school tomorrow."
Seeing this, Lu Xia suddenly let out a big breath, and said jokingly: "Brother, you almost scared me, I thought you were going to go back on your word and say you won't send me off tomorrow."
Huo Yanxi's eyes flickered slightly, and he denied, "No."
"Okay, then see you at eight o'clock tomorrow." Lu Xia ended the topic in moderation.
Huo Yanxi gave an 'hmm'.
Afterwards, Lu Xia waved to him, jumped out of the car, and walked towards the villa.
Huo Yanxi's eyes followed Lu Xia's back and disappeared for a while before slowly retracting.
Since his own sister doesn't need him to send her, there's no need for him to reject Xia Xia out of concern for her feelings, after all Xia Xia is also his sister.
Thinking in this way, the trace of guilt remaining in Huo Yanxi's heart also dissipated.
Soon, he started the car engine, turned around and left Lu's house.
*
Just as Lu Xia entered the door, Mother Lu He Xiaoman, who was still sitting on the sofa in the living room, looked up at her and asked, "It's so late, why is your friend asking you out?"
Her voice was very gentle, but she didn't mean to question.
Lu Xia walked over unhurriedly, stretched out her hand and pinched He Xiaoman's shoulders naturally, "It's my elder brother who asked me to say something."
"Brother?" He Xiaoman frowned obviously when he heard this address, "Is it your adoptive mother's family again?"
Knowing that He Xiaoman looked down on the Huo family, Lu Xia only hummed lightly.
"Didn't it tell you to have less contact with the Huo family?" He Xiaoman said earnestly, "Mom knows you are kind-hearted, but your adoptive mother's family is not a kind person, especially your fake brothers, the more you get along with them If you get close, they may not know how to use you in the future."
Lu Xia's eyes drooped slightly, and she thought to herself that it was because you were prejudiced and short-sighted, and you would never know what they were capable of.
