Ms. Zhang Feng found that Huo Ling's day was very strange. When she went out in the morning, Huo Ling was sitting under the big locust tree in the back yard. She didn't think much about it at the time. There, this time, he actually lay down! I'm not playing with my phone or reading a book, I'm just staring at one side in a trance, my eyes are out of focus, it looks like I've been struck by lightning.
This is weird!
She knows her son best, and his mind is as hard as iron. There are very few people who can shake him, even more so in the past two years. It is difficult for ordinary people to even make him stunned. How can he lose his mind? God
Ms. Zhang leaned against the window and looked at it for a long time, and invited Aunt Wang to ask her how long has Huo Ling been like this
Aunt Wang said mysteriously, "One day!"
Ms. Zhang was even more surprised: "Have you ever left?"
"No?" Anyway, every time she came out, she could see Huo Ling under the tree, and Zhang's boy was sent away when he came to look for him. She sat for a whole day without even eating lunch. She wanted to go and give it to him. Give me some water. Before the person got there, she heard him say no, and she could only go back to the house with the things.
It looks like something is on the mind.
But what can Huo Ling have on his mind? What's going on in the army
Just as the sun was setting in the west, the warm dusk of the big tree, the man lying down jumped up, he patted the grass clippings on his body, and he stood up straight, like a tall and tall poplar.
Ms. Zhang smiled with satisfaction, right, this is his son, and she almost didn't know the one who was struck by lightning just now.
She pushed open the window: "Huo Ling, it's time to eat."
Huo Ling tugged at his clothes and took a big step: "Mom, I have something to do, go out, you can eat first without waiting for me."
Ms. Zhang watched Huo Ling walk away and said anxiously, "Aren't you going to eat? What's the hurry? Then I'll ask the kitchen to give you some leftovers?"
"No need." Huo Ling waved his hand and disappeared quickly.
Ms. Zhang felt strange, thinking about waiting for tomorrow to ask Huo Ling if something really happened
…
Huo Ling drove a jeep out of the military compound and went directly to the Capital University. Jiang Nian had already started school for ten days. The Jiang family had already left the imperial capital and returned to City B after making arrangements. He specially called him and asked him to take care of Jiang Nian.
Although Jiang Laifu is a nouveau riche and has a lot of money, of course he also has a few friends. However, his circle of friends is all in City B. Although he knows a few people in the capital, he is only a nodding acquaintance. He is the only one who can truly reassure Jiang Laifu. Brother!
Huo Ling naturally promised, not to mention that even if Jiang Laifu didn't look for him, he would still take care of the little girl. She is so fragile, and it is the first time that she has left home to come to such a far place. She has no relatives and friends to take care of her. I wonder if she will be afraid? Will you be nervous
In the past, the caring feeling in his heart stemmed from sympathy and pity, but recently, something seems to have changed, and the slight change shocked him.
Just like when he thought Jiang Nian's leg was seriously injured, he was nervous and worried and panicked. He had to admit that he didn't want to see Jiang Nian get hurt, and he didn't want her to get hurt.
The car quickly reached the downstairs of the community where Jiang Nian lived, turned off the fire and parked in front of the flower bed and under the shade of a tree.
Instead of going upstairs in a hurry, he held his forehead in a daze for a while, and smiled while pulling the corner of his mouth in a trance.
…
Huo Ling waited for a while by the side of the road. Looking through the rearview mirror, she saw Jiang Nian slowly coming back with a schoolbag and an umbrella in the distance. She was wearing a light blue over-the-knee skirt, and her long hair was tied into a high Her ponytail, because of the hot weather, her plain white cheeks were stained with a touch of pink, and her eyes were downcast.
Jiang Nian raised his eyes inadvertently and saw Huo Ling's big black jeep's butt at a glance. He was overjoyed and walked over, staring at the car window, when did Huo Ling come here
Unexpectedly, as soon as she approached, the car window rolled down first, and the handsome and determined silhouette of the man appeared in front of her. She blinked and saw the faint smile in his eyes.
Jiang Nian said, "Uncle Huo, why are you here?"
Huo Lingdao: "I happened to be passing by, thinking of coming to see you this Friday."
He pushed open the door and got out of the car, took the small schoolbag on Jiang Nian's back and held it in his hand: "I thought you would be back in a while, why don't you seem happy? Is there something wrong with the school?"
Jiang Nian pouted, shook his head and said, "The school is fine."
Huo Ling: "What's the matter? Or is it uncomfortable?"
Jiang Nian glanced at him and sighed: "No, my body is fine, my classmates take good care of me, and studying is easy... It's just that this world is really too dangerous. Your life is so precious, so you will naturally get nervous."
Huo Ling was stunned for a while, and her smile seemed a little helpless. The little girl may have been uncomfortable because of the first time she traveled. She was at home all the year round, and she was spoiled as a little princess since she was a child. Now she is out alone and has no familiar family and friends. Accompanying, naturally nervous and worried, this is homesick.
He couldn't help feeling a little distressed, and his face softened: "If you feel scared or uncomfortable, call me."
Jiang Nian nodded. Now only Huo Ling can give her some comfort. It would be even better if she could be her chief guard. She might feel more secure. But he is very busy, even if he wants to protect, he is a big man like the leader of the country he protects... Although she is also a big man, isn't that a big man in the future...
Jiang Nian said, "Don't worry, Uncle Huo, I'm not that fragile. There will always be various tests of fate on the way of growing up as a genius. I understand that this little difficulty can't hit me."
… is also very strong.
Huo Ling coughed, hiding the smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Let's go, let's go upstairs first."
Jiang Nian: "I'm so hungry too, I need to make up."
Huo Ling smiled and said, "Okay."
Auntie has already prepared dinner, fried a few dishes that Jiang Nian likes, and simmered the ginseng chicken soup with a low fire. As soon as I entered the door, the smell of the food filled the room, making my mouth water. Huo Ling hadn't eaten for a day, and he didn't feel hungry at first, but when he smelled this fragrance, he suddenly felt empty in his stomach.
He stayed and ate dinner together. Although the food was very bland, he had an excellent appetite for two bowls of rice and a lot of soup.
Jiang Nian was full after eating some. He took a few sips of chicken soup and glanced at Huo Ling secretly. He was tall, with sharp eyebrows and eyes, and he had an imposing manner sitting there. He was upright and sturdy. Lean body, especially can give people a sense of security!
Huo Ling is so keen, he can naturally detect Jiang Nian's small eyes, like a little mouse, take a look at him, take a sip of soup, look at him again, take another sip of soup, he just doesn't realize it, but he is inexplicably nervous. After a long while, he couldn't stand Jiang Nian's sneaky little eyes, as if something was tickling his ear, he smiled and said, "What's the matter, keep looking at me?"
Jiang Nian looked at him again and sighed, "It's nothing."
Forget it, let's wait until she becomes a real big shot and then fool Huo Ling to be her chief guard. As a pillar of the country, she can't delay the affairs of the country, and she knows the general well.
Huo Ling smiled and said, "Jiang Nian, can I get you a personal assistant?"
Jiang Nian snorted and looked at Huo Ling: "Assistant?"
"Well, today I saw you come back alone. What if you encounter something on the way? It's also reassuring to have someone by your side to take care of you."
Huo Ling was really worried that Jiang Nian would have an accident by himself. Even if there were classmates to take care of him, to be honest, the classmates also had their own affairs to work on. It was impossible to take care of Jiang Nian all the time, and Jiang Nian was not in good health. Who knows when he will be sick? On weekdays, when you want to drink hot water or have something to eat at school, can you still ask your classmates for help? If people kindly help once, can they help again and again? At that time, I am afraid that the relationship with the classmates will not be good, and others will think that Jiang Nian is not good, and that he is spoiled and cannot be served well.
But hiring an assistant is different. Not only will Jiang Nian's safety be guaranteed, but even his life will be much easier. What's more, they can feel more at ease when someone is watching them all the time.
This is what Huo Ling thought when he saw the little girl coming back alone in the rearview mirror. Jiang Nian is alone in the imperial capital, and there is no one around to take care of him. What if something really happened one day
Just thinking about it makes people feel intimidated, so finding a personal assistant is imperative.
Seeing that Jiang Nian didn't speak for a while, Huo Ling said, "Don't you think it's bad? No, the teacher knows your situation, and your classmates should have heard of it. Even if someone is really invited to take care of them, they will understand. of."
Jiang Nian said seriously: "No, I think there are too few people alone. After all, a genius like me who has been blacklisted by fate, it is necessary to focus on protection."
Huo Ling coughed: "..." :)
After dinner, Jiang Nian and his family connected to the WeChat video, and by the way, he shared Huo Ling's proposal, and he was immediately approved and recognized by the whole family. They all praised Huo Ling for being so smart and capable. Jiang's father was proud and raised his chin. Said he was really happy and made a good brother!
Yes, yes, the whole family nodded and said yes. It was rare that Jiang's mother didn't give him a blank look, and then told Jiang Nian to thank Brother Huo well. As for the money for inviting people, they were naturally given by themselves. Now the most important thing is to find them. A suitable assistant, if you can have some first aid knowledge, of course it is the best.
Not to mention, having someone by Jiang Nian's side at any time made their hearts feel a lot more at ease, at least not as much as before, so they wanted to find Jiang Nian to make sure she was okay, but they were also worried. It would disturb her class. After going back and forth like this, the Jiang family became dead, and the golden light was almost extinguished.
This Huo Ling can be regarded as a solution to their urgent needs, it is to save people from water and fire, he is really a good person! ! !
Yes, Jiang Nian also said with emotion that Uncle Huo is really a very good person.
Jiang's father picked up his sleeves and wanted to bow down to Huo Ling. After all, such a good brother is hard to find in the world. If you miss this village, how can there be this store? Shouldn't it be cherished!
This is good. Grandpa Jiang, Grandma Jiang, and even Mother Jiang agree with both hands and feet. Indeed, which one did you miss out on
Huo Ling's brows jumped: "Uncle Jiang, Aunt Jiang, this is what the younger generation should do, it's just a little thing, you don't have to do this."
No, no, helping Niannian is their family's benefactor, how can it be such a trivial matter? That's a big deal!
Huo Ling looked at the Jiang family who were desperately trying to show their faces in front of the camera, and couldn't help but think of the box Jiang's mother gave him some time ago, saying it was a thank you gift for his help... Suddenly there was another kind of sack The fear of domination...
Huo Ling had a headache, but when he finally hung up the video, he felt ten years older.
Jiang Nian smiled and said, "Uncle Huo, why don't you want to worship my father?"
Huo Ling glanced at her: "...There is no reason, the seniority is not suitable."
Jiang Nian: "Why is it inappropriate, I think it is quite suitable?"
Huo Ling snorted and said, "Do you want to be called Uncle Huo Ping?"
Jiang Nian thought for a while, and said solemnly: "Huo Hufa's status is unshakable. In my heart, he will always be my Huo Hufa! You can't affect the relationship between me and Huo Hufa."
Holling: …
His hands were itchy, and he couldn't help pulling the girl's high ponytail.
The soft tail swept across his palm, itching.
"Jiang Nian, don't call me Uncle Huo again."
"Huh? What's that called?"
"I'm Huo Ping's cousin. You can call me by my name just like calling him."
"Ho Ling?"
The voice that blurted out had the softness of a girl, and it was particularly pleasant.
Holling paused for a while and replied, "Well."
Jiang Nian shook his head and said, "No, this is too disrespectful to the elders! You are my father's considered good brother!"
Huo Ling's face was really dark.
Jiang Nian smiled and looked at him with a smile.
Huo Ling grinded his teeth, but his eyes softened.
Really a little girl.
…
After leaving Jiang's house in the evening, Huo Ling drove to the gourmet house. Zhang Xing set up a dinner party. It hasn't gone away yet. When Huo Ling arrived, Zhang Xing was already half drunk and was fighting with his new girlfriend. , saw that the punches came later, and he rushed up to hug: "My good brother, why did you come!"
But before he got close, Huo Ling kicked him back.
Zhang Xing shattered his heart: "It took me a lot of effort to find a suitable house for you, Huo Wu, if you don't thank me, you can get it, why are you turning your face and not recognizing anyone?!"
Huo Ling has a brother and a sister. His uncle and two children are just the fifth in the family. Zhang Xing and Huo Ling grew up together, and they are used to calling him the rank.
Everyone in the room knew Huo Ling, and when they saw him, they came up to say hello. Those who were familiar called him Wu Shao, and those who were not familiar with him called him Wu Ye. They were respectful and polite.
Huo Ling waved his hand to let them play by themselves, took a seat and sat down, poured a glass of wine and drank it. His heart skipped a beat all night, and he seemed to have calmed down because of the cold and mellow wine. .
He exhaled, rubbed his brows and smiled.
Zhang Xingjian said like a ghost: "Huo Wu, are you hit by evil, right? No, you are now in the golden house, you are hit by Cupid's sword, right?"
Huo Ling glanced at him and said, "Do me a favor again."
…
After that, Huo Ling would go to Jiang Nian on weekends. In normal times, he would make a phone call occasionally. He would not cross the line or contact too frequently. He controlled the distance between them.
Jiang Nian's small life was much more comfortable. With an assistant, she even had a lot more confidence to walk on the road. Although she couldn't give her a sense of security like the four guardians, it was better than nothing.
Liu Yingying started to get excited. It just so happened that her birthday was in these two days. When she saw that it was on Wednesday, it was of course not a good time, so she simply moved a few days earlier and set up a birthday party on Saturday. Friends called, Jiang Nian will definitely come, and the opportunity will come.
After all of this, Liu Yingying called Jiang Nian almost immediately and asked her to come out for dinner on Saturday.
Jiang Nian was not surprised at all when he received the call. It would be surprising if Liu Yingying could really give up trying to trouble her. She asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Liu Yingying said: "I don't know yet. Let's decide when the time comes. I have a few friends with me. There are many people, so I have to ask them what they think."
Jiang Nian snorted: "Forget it, let's get together, I won't come."
Liu Yingying choked: "But that day is my birthday party, you are my cousin, why don't you come?"
Jiang Nian said doubtfully: "What's wrong? I can't make myself suffer and endanger my life for your birthday every year, right? What should I do when I get sick? My life is more precious than your birthday. It's gone!"
Liu Yingying gritted her teeth: "Then go eat Chinese food!"
"Gourmet House?"
"… Row."
The consumption of the food court is still a bit high for college students. The per capita consumption is only three or four hundred. However, Liu Yingying's grandfather Jiang and grandma Jiang must give her a red envelope on her birthday, and Jiang's father will give her a lot of money. But it's not too bad.
When Liu Yingying thought of her plan, she could only endure it for a while.
Who knew that on Saturday, when Liu Yingying brought her two roommates, two male classmates, and two high school classmates to the food court, Jiang Nian also arrived, and she brought a lot of people, except for a small roommate. , on the left is an aunt who is about fifty years old, on the right is a eldest sister who is about thirty years old, and there is a tall man in black standing behind!
Liu Yingying's plan was for seven people, and they could eat at most 3,000 yuan, but Jiang Nian brought so many people alone, and it cost 4,000 to 5,000 yuan!
But with so many people watching, can she go back and say that she has changed her place, does she lose face
When she sat down in the hall, Liu Yingying didn't plan to give Jiang Nian a menu, nor did she plan to give her a chance to order food. All she ordered were spicy and sour, and the only vegetarian dish was the little cabbage that Jiang Nian didn't like very much. In addition, the girls ordered a bottle of red wine, and the boys liked beer mixed with Sprite.
When the food came to the table, the table was red and greasy, and they ate happily. While sighing that the food at the food court was delicious, they asked Yingying's cousin why you didn't eat it? That is, is it because we hate that we don't want to have a meal at a table
Jiang Nian didn't want to eat, and the person who came with her naturally didn't move his chopsticks, which made him look a little different.
Qi Bin rounded up the field and said that it might be unpalatable? This is not the first time he has seen Jiang Nian. He has seen several interview videos before, and he also knows that Jiang Nian's college entrance examination results have caused a sensation in the whole country. She looks quite small in the camera, but she did not expect the real person to be unexpectedly beautiful, with eyebrows and eyes. Clean, fair-faced and beautiful, and petite, looking at it makes people feel pity.
He wanted to get close to Jiang Nian, but there were people sitting on both sides of Jiang Nian, so he had to speak loudly to talk to her, "Jiang Nian, are you not feeling well so you have no appetite?"
Jiang Nian glanced at him: "Who are you?"
"I, I'm Qi Bin, we added WeChat before, have you forgotten?"
"Oh, I don't remember, maybe my cousin has too many friends, and I don't know which one you are."
"… "
Qi Bin's face froze, and he glanced at Liu Yingying. Not only Qi Bin, but even her classmates were looking at her. Liu Yingying almost choked to death. What did Jiang Nian say
"Cousin, are you mistaken? I didn't introduce anyone to you except Qi Bin, did I?"
Jiang Nian: "Cousin, why do so many of your friends only introduce Qi Bin to me?"
Liu Yingying only felt that the eyes that fell on her made her flustered, not to mention that her purpose today was to make Jiang Nian look good, she didn't want to mess up the plan, so she said: "I'm not afraid that you are lonely without friends, okay, okay, not for now. Having said that, let's eat first."
Jiang Nian breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily: "Cousin is also true, fortunately I didn't listen to your words to waste time, otherwise how could I be admitted to the Capital University now? Genius is always lonely, after all, there are so few geniuses in this world, don't worry. , these loneliness are nothing."
"...!!!"
Liu Yingying found that no matter how long it passed, Jiang Nian was still the person she hated the most, no one!
Qi Bin lowered his head and drank a glass of wine, feeling a little embarrassed.
One of Liu Yingying's female classmates saw that the atmosphere was not good, and she said that everyone had dinner first, and that today's happy day will not say anything else.
Yu Cancan's sluggish brain circuit could sense that something was wrong, especially the conversation just now was not right, and Qi Bin felt very evil to her, and at first glance, it was not a good thing, and Jiang Nian's cousin Liu Yingying. Even she knew that Jiang Nian was not in good health, and some things were really not edible. This was not intentional. She didn't even eat the food in the cafeteria, except for some porridge for breakfast. Lunch and dinner were delivered at home. Come, although it was delivered from home, she had seen what Jiang Nian ate, plain and bland, and she had to drink a bowl of dark Chinese medicine every day.
Because of this, no one really said that Jiang Nian was spoiled and hard to serve, because the vegetarian food didn't look as good as the food in the cafeteria.
Day after day like this, everyone had to collapse, but Jiang Nian didn't. She was happy every day, never complained, and her grades were still so good, so Yu Cancan admired Jiang Nian and liked her very much.
Not to mention anything else, now, as an outsider, she knows that Jiang Nian can't eat some things, not to mention spicy food. What does Liu Yingying mean by being a cousin? Just eat cabbage
She stared and wanted to speak, but Jiang Nian held the back of her hand.
The little roommate was very angry, how could he bear it? Did she flip the table
Jiang Nian smiled, took out his mobile phone and started taking pictures. He took a picture of the meal at that table, and sent it to a circle of friends by the way, with nine attached texts, "I wish cousin Yingying a happy birthday."
Liu Yingying wondered for a moment: "What are you doing?"
Jiang Nian smiled and said, "Take pictures, today is such an important day, although I can't spend it with my family, but we have an online relationship. I want to tell my grandparents, my parents, and my mother that I will celebrate my cousin's birthday again!"
Only then did Liu Yingying panic. She squeezed her chopsticks tightly and said, "Don't send it. I'll send it myself later. I'm a birthday star, so of course I'm the most suitable one."
Jiang Nian: "But I've already posted on a circle of friends!"
Liu Yingying was anxious: "Then you should delete it!"
Jiang Nian: "If I don't delete it, my grandparents, my father, my aunt, and my uncle have liked me. I'm reluctant to delete it."
"… "
Liu Yingying was really pissed, how could Jiang Nian be so bad? She really is the nemesis of her life!
She called the waiter almost immediately to add dishes! Must add vegetables! Otherwise, how could she explain it to the family? Her grandfather and grandmother were partial to Jiang Nian. If they saw every dish on this table that Jiang Nian liked, what would they think of her
Knowing that Jiang Nian was so difficult, she wouldn't be so careful. She just couldn't see Jiang Nian's pride. She had already made a name for herself after being the champion of the province. Many people around her were talking about Jiang Nian. , said she was a genius girl. Later, I went to the Capital University, and even her mother whispered in her ear every day, why she did not get good grades in Jiang Nian after repeating the school for a year
From childhood to adulthood, she has been compared with Jiang Nian, who is obviously inferior to her in everything, and she has surpassed her since she doesn't know when, and has become the focus of everyone!
She's just not happy.
The little tablemate looked at Jiang Nian with bright eyes. Jiang Nian said, "Just order whatever you want, my cousin is treating you to me."
The little tablemate nodded seriously: "Well, then I'm welcome."
After eating this meal, Liu Yingying wanted to vomit blood, so what happened to Yu Cancan, a bird's nest shark's fin who came to eat, would you be embarrassed? Not only did she have to face the empty wallet, but she also kept an eye on the news of Jiang Nian's circle of friends. Although her grandparents and uncles hadn't replied yet, she was just scared, and she was a little flustered that her thoughts were being exposed.
Jiang Nian didn't even bother to look at her. Liu Yingying's methods were clumsy. The reason why the plan in her previous life was successful was because the original owner trusted her and helped her cover herself. In fact, as long as the original owner told her family, Jiang's mother would definitely believe it. She and Jiang's father will naturally have some concerns in their hearts. Although Grandpa Jiang loves his younger generation and is kind and benevolent, he is not someone who cares about the right and wrong of family.
Liu Yingying has no intention of dealing with Jiang Nian at this moment, she is waiting to serve food and send a circle of friends to relieve herself! Qi Bin didn't think so, how could he let such a rare opportunity pass
When Jiang Nian went to the bathroom, he rolled his eyes and naturally followed.
He chased after Jiang Nian and told her that he fell in love with her at first sight. If he could, could he give him a chance
In fact, Qi Bin is good-looking, can dress up, and his family is not harsh on him. Naturally, he doesn't look bad. It's no wonder that he cheated Liu Yingying in his previous life and can go to hook up with rich girls again.
He prides himself on being affectionate, but Jiang Nianzhen doesn't look down on him and refuses without hesitation: "No."
"...Why? You give me a chance, I'm sure you'll love me."
"No, I don't have a problem with my brain, I can't like you. Besides, you have such a low IQ, do you think you are worthy of a genius like me? Don't you feel ashamed?"
"... ???"
Jiang Nian turned around and walked away. Qi Bin was unwilling and wanted to pull her wrist, but he reached out and didn't even grab the edge of Jiang Nian's clothes. Suddenly, an iron arm stretched out from behind and grabbed his wrist, causing him pain. His feet softened and he sat down on the ground.
He screamed and raised his head, and found that the man who caught him was the man in black who had been following Jiang Nian!
Just at this moment, another man came over. He was dressed in black, awe-inspiring, and stood beside Jiang Nian very naturally and familiarly. His attitude of maintenance was self-evident at a glance.
Qi Bin was flustered, because the man had a good identity at first glance, and he looked at him like a sharp knife that could cut him off piece by piece, and he was so frightened that he couldn't say a word for a while.
Jiang Nian was a little surprised to see Huo Ling: "Uncle Huo, are you here to eat too?"
Huo Ling raised his arm to protect Jiang Nian's back, his broad and hot palm landed on her shoulder, and gently pulled her into his arms.
He looked at the man on the ground: "See who you are, not everyone you can imagine."
