In the early morning of the next day, Huo Yan got up early to freshen up, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly heard the excited shouts of girls from the corridor.

Lin Chuyu liked watching the excitement the most, and was the first to rush to the balcony to look down, and said in surprise, "Fu Shihan is here!"

Huo Yan hastily picked up the small schoolbag, put on sneakers at the door and went out, not letting him wait for a long time.

Lin Chuyu yelled from behind: "I dare you to wash and change your clothes this morning. It turns out that there is an appointment with a beautiful woman."

"Just go out with him and do something."

"No need to explain, no need to explain." Lin Chuyu gave her a look of "I understand".

Huo Yan paused, knowing that she had misunderstood something, but she didn't explain, and hurried downstairs.

Fu Shihan never liked to wait, his patience was precious, and time was even more precious.

After leaving the bedroom door, Huo Yan saw Fu Shihan from a distance.

He was wearing black sportswear, standing by the path of the sycamore tree, with a tall and slender figure, with his hands in his trouser pockets casually, a few clean and flexible bangs resting on the peak of his extremely lined eyebrows.

Seeing the little girl running over clumsily from a distance, he had a lazy smile on his originally cold and distant face, and he had a calm demeanor.

Huo Yan ran up to him, panting heavily. Fu Shihan immediately reached out his hand to stabilize her figure, and blamed her slightly: "What's the rush?"

Huo Yan took a breath and said, "I'm afraid I'll waste your time."

"Do you have to be so polite to me?"

"Um?"

Huo Yan didn't understand.

Fu Shihan's face darkened slightly, and he looked at her with downcast eyes. Her harmless black almond eyes were full of confusion and innocence.

"I don't know if you really don't understand, or you pretend to understand."

It was also the first time that Fu Shihan felt troublesome and helpless. Before that, he had everything in order, and there was no problem in this world that he could not solve.

Fu Shihan had no choice but to change the answer she could understand, and told her seriously: "For you, I always have time."

She will always be his number one.

Huo Yan understood, so she gave him a sweet smile: "Thank you Brother Han."

Fu Shihan's heart felt like it was swept by a feather, it was itchy, but he couldn't scratch it.

Huo Yan, carrying a small schoolbag, passed him and walked in front.

"etc."

A man's voice came from behind her, and she stopped, only to see him stepping towards her in two or three steps.

The boy squatted down on one knee and picked up the white laces of her sneakers.

The slender and bony knuckles pinched the scattered shoelaces, pulled and pulled, and a big bow was unfolded again.

Huo Yan's eyes were wide open, he just knelt down and tied her bag!

incredible.

Upstairs in the dormitory, all the girls were screaming, he...is he still that arrogant, cold and reserved Fu Shihan, he even knelt down to tie a girl's shoelaces!

"Damn it, I'm the only one who thinks it's so fucking spoiled!"

"It's not together, it's too much for God."

"Cough, isn't anyone jealous?"

"I'm so worried, is there still room on the rooftop?"

At this moment, Huo Yan could only feel a cluster of small flames rising in her heart, and the flames were swimming in her blood vessels. She couldn't help touching her own cheeks, which were blushing and hot.

Fu Shihan didn't seem to take this trivial matter to heart, and strode ahead.

Huo Yan was only dazed for two seconds, and then immediately chased after him.

Along the way, her face was burning, thinking about the scene just now, the more she thought about it, the more she blushed.

Fu Shihan asked: "What's wrong with the chirping little hummingbird today? Didn't say a word?"

"It's nothing." Huo Yan stammered: "That... are you my brother?"

The corner of Fu Shihan's mouth slightly raised, slowed down his pace, and tugged at her soft earlobe casually: "What do you think?"

Huo Yan was tickled by his touch, and instinctively shivered for a while, the corners of Fu Shihan's eyes slightly curled up, as if he liked to see her reaction like this.

"If you had a real sister, would you still treat me so well?" Huo Yan asked again: "Are you treating me as a real sister?"

She remembered that Fu Shihan said when he was a child that he wanted a younger sister, but he didn't. She was like his little sister, and he would love her very much. So if you are bullied by a bad person, you must remember to tell him.

"No, I don't want to be your brother."

Unexpectedly, this time, Fu Shihan refused so bluntly, without any room for hesitation or turning around.

Huo Yan was stunned, looked into his calm eyes, and murmured: "I don't want to be my brother..."

Fu Shihan couldn't bear the hurt and wronged look in his little eyes. Knowing that he was impulsive, he shook his head helplessly, and said in a calm tone, "Who wants to be your stupid girl's brother and lower my family's IQ."

Although it hurt her, Huo Yan tried his best to hold back the smile, his face turned red.

Like when he was a child, Fu Shihan instinctively took her wrist and led her forward.

However, Huo Yan felt a trace of strange emotion in this kind of intimate action.

The five characters of "Runfeng Pawnshop" appeared in front of my eyes.

The two walked in, and Huo Yan took out a deed from his bag and handed it to the staff at the front desk. After verification, the staff brought the Rolex watch with white gloves.

The watch body is rose gold, and the case is stainless steel Oyster, which looks solemn and grand. Vintage in style and showing some age.

As soon as Huo Yan saw the watch, his nervousness finally relaxed, and he carefully wrapped the watch in his arms to protect it.

Fu Shihan had gone through the remaining procedures and paid the pawn fee.

He glanced at it accidentally just now, and there was a slight flaw on the dial. The value of that watch was at least 100,000 yuan, and it was only pawned for 20,000 yuan, probably because of this reason.

He shook his head, but fortunately, there was only 20,000. If there were more, this little girl might be worried again.

Huo Yan walked out of the pawn shop with the watch box in his arms, and solemnly said to Fu Shihan next to him, "Thank you, I will definitely pay you back."

Fu Shihan smiled lightly: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Huo Yan seemed uneasy, and sat by the steps of the pawn shop, took out his watch and checked it carefully, and confirmed that it should be the one of grandma, and heaved a long sigh of relief.

Fu Shihan stared at her with his head down, a slight smile curled up on the corner of her mouth, and the corners of her eyes were full like crescent moons.

For some reason, he always likes to see her smile, the corners of her eyes naturally turn up, evoking a touch of foolishness, with a cute naive look.

Fu Shihan sat next to Huo Yan, took the golden watch in her hand, looked at it carefully, and asked softly, "Is an old watch worth your happiness?"

"This is my grandma's favorite item. Grandpa wore this watch when he went to North Korea. When he came back safely, there were some cracks and flaws on the dial. You know that ordinary scratches are difficult to get on this fine steel dial. Leaving any mark, grandma is superstitious, and always thinks that this watch helped grandpa prevent disasters."

"After grandpa passed away, grandma became a little delirious and often talked to this watch, babbling heartfelt words for grandpa."

Huo Yan's slender fingertips gently swept the spotless dial, and the sun poured down on her body, coating her face with a layer of soft light.

Her gentle temperament seems to be innate, unassuming, she has always been so quiet, and she has grown into a nineteen-year-old her.

Fu Shihan just looked at her quietly like this, and after a long time, he laughed loudly and said, "If it is said that this watch prevented Mr. Huo from disaster, it was he who carried my grandfather back from the enemy camp back then under the hail of bullets. So my grandfather always said that both families are sons, there is no fate to form a family of children, it is better to marry a family of grandchildren."

Huo Yan nodded: "Grandpa and Grandpa Fu are like brothers. When we were young, Grandpa Fu often came to our house and sat on the balcony to play chess with Grandpa."

She still remembers Grandpa Fu's hearty laughter, like an old urchin who always likes to tease Huo Yan and pull her braids, making Huo Yan teary every time.

Grandpa bullied her, and her grandson also bullied her. At that time, she always felt that there was no good person in the Fu family.

Huo Yan murmured: "It's been a long time since I saw Grandpa Fu."

Fu Shihan said: "We can go to Nanshan Nursing Home to accompany him on weekends, if you want."

"Okay!" Huo Yan nodded again and again, and said with a smile, "As long as he doesn't pull my braid."

"You just remember him pulling your braid, what else?"

Huo Yan frowned: "The old man still likes to see me cry, the harder I cry, the happier he smiles."

"Then do you remember what he said?"

"The old man said so much, I remember everything."

Fu Shihan looked at Huo Yan, his eyes became darker and darker as if the ink color was gradually dyed.

He patted the back of her head, stood up and left: "Think for yourself."

Huo Yan clutched the back of her head, thinking about it, but couldn't remember what important words Grandpa Fu said.

That sentence was just a chat in the tea and dinner room. At that time, my father, mother and the Huo family were all there.

Huo Sinuan waited beside his grandfather like a little lady, pouring tea for him, like a sensible and obedient granddaughter, speaking nice words to please the two old people.

But the old man of the Fu family didn't even look at her, he just pinched the cheek of Huo Yan, a silly girl, making her cry and feel wronged.

What the old man said back then was—

"I like this silly girl. I want her to be our granddaughter-in-law, so that I can make trouble for my boring little grandson. Don't act like an old master all day long."

The whole family listened to that sentence, but it was just a joke, and it couldn't be true.

Fu Shihan was the only one in the audience, and when he heard it, it was engraved in his heart.
