"Are you kidding me? How can I live in your house?"

"You look like I'm joking?" Fu Shihan said calmly, "My mother likes you, and our house has a lot of rooms. It shouldn't be a problem to come and live at home during the Chinese New Year. I can also help you by the way." Supplementary lessons."

It sounds reasonable too.

"Your parents agree, but my parents may not agree. If you live in your house like this, what's the point?"

"Didn't you often come to live at home when you were young? At that time, you also said that you wanted to be my mother's daughter and move to live in our big house."

Huo Yan blushed, she couldn't remember how many years had passed, but he could still remember it so clearly.

At that time, he just envied Fu Shihan for having such a big home, how fun it was to play hide-and-seek at home.

"Children talk nonsense, talking nonsense." Huo Yan said in embarrassment: "Whoever is serious is a fool."

Fu Shihan sighed long and leisurely, lay down on Huo Yan's small bed, and said lazily, "What should I do, I really have become a fool."

Seeing him like this, Huo Yan couldn't bear it, so he said: "Let's talk about it after Chinese New Year."

Fu Shihan regained his spirits: "It's a deal."

"Hey, who made a deal with you!"

The parents insisted on keeping Fu Shihan at home for dinner. Fu Shihan sat beside Huo Yan and brought her two dishes from time to time.

Mother Zhou Ruoping's attitude was attentive: "Ah Han, now that we have found our home, we must come to play frequently in the future."

"Auntie, I will come here often." Fu Shihan looked at Huo Yan and said with a smile.

Huo Yan curled her lips, thinking to herself, if I knew I wouldn't let you go upstairs, what would happen if I ran to her house every now and then.

Zhou Ruoping's eyes turned into crescent moons with a smile: "That's good, tell your aunt what you like to eat, and if you come over in the future, my aunt will go to the vegetable market to buy."

Huo Yan was about to say that Fu Shihan likes fish very much, but Huo Sinuan who was sitting across from him suddenly said: "Mom, let's forget about your cooking skills, don't be ashamed of it, and our house is so small, in the future, we will eat fish." When Han comes over, let's go outside to eat in a hotel."

"Yes." Zhou Ruoping smiled awkwardly: "Mother's craftsmanship is indeed not very good, and the house at home is also an old house, so we should invite Shi Han to come after we move to a new house."

The family's house has been lived in for many years, and the furniture was purchased in the 2000s. It looks very old after a few years, and it is naturally not comparable to Fu Shihan's family's large courtyard villa.

That's why Huo Sinuan never wanted Fu Shihan to come to his house as a guest, because he didn't want to be looked down upon by him.

But moving to a new house is not easy. Now that housing prices are so high, the family has long since lost their savings.

Huo Yan raised his head, looked at the embarrassed mother and the silent father, and suddenly felt angry in his heart.

"Sister, the food in our family is so difficult to swallow. Did you grow up eating air all these years?"

When the words came out, everyone was stunned, especially Zhou Ruoping, she didn't expect that Huo Yan, who had always been submissive, would suddenly speak rudely to her sister.

Huo Yan didn't expect that he would say such a thing, the so-called those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black, she must be Su Wan and the others who have been staying for a long time, and their skills of slandering people have greatly increased.

Huo Sinuan smiled, but there was a chill in his eyes: "Sister, you have learned to make fun of my sister."

"I'm not kidding, I just think the food my mother cooks is delicious."

Her mother looked at Huo Yan in surprise. What Huo Sinuan said before really made her lose face, but Huo Yan's words were so thoughtful that she couldn't reprimand her.

This girl, usually silent, is also protecting her like this

A warm current welled up in Zhou Ruoping's heart.

"Besides, since Brother Han is willing to come and play at home, he naturally doesn't think our house is small." Huo Yan continued: "He doesn't like going to any big hotel for dinner either."

Huo Sinuan's face collapsed, and he coughed lightly to save face: "That's fine, I'm also afraid that the family will not entertain me well."

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more awkward, Zhou Ruoping quickly changed the topic, and said to Fu Shihan, "We have nothing to do during the winter vacation. You can often go out to watch movies, and bring Yanyan with you."

When Huo Sinuan heard that her mother said that she would bring Huo Yan with her, she became furious again. Before she could speak, her father said, "Isn't Sinuan going to dance classes during the winter vacation? We agreed to go back to our hometown to visit relatives together." I don’t have time, how can I go to the movies again?”

Huo Sinuan hurriedly said: "It's okay, I can spare time..."

However, before she finished speaking, Fu Shihan interrupted her, and said lightly: "If Huo Yan wants to watch a movie, I will take her with me, and I can't lose it."

Seeing that the topics on the table were getting more and more strange, the mother finally stopped matching Huo Sinuan and Fu Shihan.

The topic of watching movies lingered in several people's mouths, and the theme changed again and again. Huo Yan buried himself in his meal and didn't want to get involved anymore.

Huo Sinuan was full of anger, and went back to his room without eating a few mouthfuls.

After the meal, Huo Yan helped his mother clean up the table and wash the dishes as usual, Zhou Ruoping looked at Huo Yan's docile appearance, compared with Huo Sinuan's domineering appearance these days, for some reason, she felt a faint feeling of guilt .

She has always devoted all her heart and soul to the outstanding eldest daughter. She has neglected her younger daughter for so many years. Now the elder daughter's wings are hardened, and she is more and more domineering to the old couple.

And the youngest daughter, Huo Yan, has been like this from the beginning to the end. She is not outstanding and doesn't talk much, but she will help her clean up the dishes after dinner every day. When she is sick, she will stay with her all night to take care of her.

Just now Huo Sinuan contradicted her in front of outsiders, making her lose face, and it was her younger daughter who spoke for her.

She was so well-behaved that she had ignored her for so many years.

"Yanyan, you go out to rest, just come back, just leave the kitchen to mom."

"It doesn't matter." Huo Yan skillfully tied the apron on herself: "I made this big table of dishes today, and it must be difficult to clean up."

She was the one who brought Fu Shihan back, so she should help mother clean up.

Zhou Ruoping felt more and more guilty in her heart, and secretly wiped the corners of her eyes when she turned her back.

Later, when Fu Shihan was about to leave, his father Huo Cun'an unexpectedly said that he would send Fu Shihan downstairs. Fu Shihan saw that he had something to say, so he didn't refuse, but said to Huo Yan: "Remember to call me!" Telephone."

Huo Yan muffled "Oh".

Apart from bickering, the two of them had nothing to talk about, and he still liked to let her call him.

Downstairs, Huo Cun'an cut to the chase and said to Fu Shihan, "I won't allow you to hurt any of my daughters."

Fu Shihan's mind was clear, so he naturally understood immediately that Huo Cun'an had already understood his thoughts about Huo Yan.

He simply said, "I didn't intend to hurt Huo Sinuan."

Huo Cun'an lit a cigarette for himself, and said slowly: "Even if you didn't think about it, your actions have already caused her harm. Her dream since she was a child was to marry you and become your wife."

Fu Shihan smiled lightly: "Uncle, it's not so much that I hurt her, it's better to say that it was your wishful thinking that hurt her."

"you… "

Fu Shihan continued: "I never said that I would marry Huo Sinuan, and I can solemnly tell you that I will not marry her."

Huo Cun'an naturally didn't want to lose his composure in front of the younger generation, calmed down, and continued: "I know, now you all want to talk about free love, and uncle won't force you. Since you just said that you don't want to marry her, uncle will naturally marry her." I will do ideological work for her, but what's going on with you and Huo Yan!"

When talking about Huo Yan, Fu Shihan's originally cold and indifferent eyes became a little more gentle—

"I like Huo Yan. A few years ago, my grandfather mentioned that he wanted me to marry the Huo family's daughter, so I chose her."

When Huo Cun'an heard this, he almost choked on a puff of cigarette.

"What nonsense! Nonsense!"

"I speak from the bottom of my heart."

"When you are the daughter of our Huo family, you are free to choose. Which one do you want?"

It can be seen that Huo Cun'an is really angry.

But Fu Shihan's expression is unprecedentedly serious and determined: "Huo Yan has called me brother since she was a child. If she wants, she can be my Fu Shihan's younger sister for the rest of her life. But if she has even the slightest affection for me, it is beyond the brother-sister relationship." , I won’t let go.”

The corners of Huo Cun'an's eyes trembled slightly as he examined Fu Shihan. He was neither humble nor overbearing, cautious and appropriate.

This child has been like this since he was a child. He is respectful and polite to his elders, but he will never be filial and blind. He has his own ideas and opinions, and he handles things in a proper and down-to-earth way. He is a satisfactory son-in-law.

Unfortunately…

"You have to know, that girl Huo Yan has been honest since she was a child, not smart enough, and..."

To speak at the age of five is born with certain flaws and deficiencies.

Huo Cun'an shook his head: "She is not suitable for you, and the Fu family will not agree."

If it is said that the Huo family is right, the Huo family is naturally not the same as the Fu family, but Huo Sinuan wanted to marry Fu Shihan wholeheartedly. From childhood to adulthood, he learned dance, piano, cultivated various hobbies, and was admitted to a prestigious university. Make yourself better and make your parents proud...

In the eyes of his parents, regardless of his family background, Huo Sinuan was worthy of Fu Shihan as far as his children were concerned.

However, Fu Shihan didn't wait for Huo Cun'an to finish, and said: "If you like it, you like it. Even if Huo Yan is missing an arm and a leg, I like it too."

At this moment, he is a little more youthful, and he is no longer the mature and prudent look of the past.

Huo Cun'an choked on the smoke again, and almost didn't bring it up in one breath, who are you talking about, you are missing an arm and a leg!

He sighed: "I have no way to agree to this matter now, it's too unfair to Si Nuan."

"Uncle, maybe it's not easy for me to interfere in your family affairs, but I still want to tell you how much you love Huo Sinuan since you were young, and how much I, Fu Shihan, feel pity for Huo Yan."

After hearing this sentence, Huo Cun'an was shocked, and the cigarette butt in his hand was shaking.

And Fu Shihan bowed slightly to him, turned around and opened the car door, started the engine and left.

The results of the final exam are published on the school's teaching affairs online system.

Huo Yan didn't realize how high her score was at first, until she compared it with other students in the class, and found that her grades were quite good. Every course was above 90, and even the most difficult compiling principle , she successfully scored 95 points, and more than one-third of the class failed this course, and very few students could score 80 points.

Huo Yan actually got ninety-five points in this class, which is definitely the first in the class.

Of course, all of this was due to Fu Shihan.

During the review month on the eve of the end of the semester, he helped her make up lessons every day, because they were in the same major, so Fu Shihan naturally knew the test points well, so Huo Yan's review was targeted.

Of course, Mr. Fu, who is so demanding, is not just as simple as highlighting the key points for Huo Yan. He brought her textbooks, and pointed out the principles and difficulties she didn't understand. The foundation is laid solidly.

With such a double guarantee, the final exam is naturally a cinch.

Although I don't know the grade ranking status, but judging from the overall score of the class, it should be possible for her to win the scholarship.

The wechat group in dormitory 409 was also noisy at this time.

Su Wan: "@胡烟@胡烟@胡烟, your sister's test scores should have come down, too."

Huo Yan looked at Huo Sinuan's closed door, and said, "She hasn't come out."

Su Wan: "Hehehe, I'm afraid I'm too embarrassed to come out."

Huo Yan: "How to say?"

Su Wan: "Didn't you see the list of make-up examinations for failed subjects on Educational Affairs Online? She failed the subject of computer theory."

Computer Principles is a public compulsory course offered by the school. It teaches some basic content about computers and the usage of office software. Students in every college must take this course.

Of course, for liberal arts students, because it involves some algorithm applications, there are more hangups.

Huo Yan: "Isn't it? My sister has been among the best in her studies since she was a child. Can she fail?"

After a while, Su Wan gave Huo Yan a screenshot of the make-up exam list: "Here, Huo Sinuan from the Academy of Art, right?"

Huo Yan zoomed in on the picture and looked at it, thinking he really failed the exam.

Lin Chuyu: "Maybe she was busy socializing with her little sister all day, so she left behind her studies."

Su Wan sent a [smirking] emoji: "Yanyan, why don't we beat the dog in the water?"

Huo Yan: "Boring."

As soon as these two words were sent, Huo Sinuan walked out of the house, walked to her mother, and pretended to help her straighten the beans, with an obedient and docile appearance.

She glanced at Huo Yan beside her. Huo Yan was nestled in the sofa, wearing cotton wool socks, covering his face with a thick Java professional book, and ignored her.

"Sinuan, are the final exam results out?" Zhou Ruoping asked.

"Come out." Huo Sinuan said with a smile, "Every one of my professional courses is above 80 points."

"Really, it's so powerful."

In fact, Zhou Ruoping didn't know whether 80 points was too much or too little, but she instinctively praised Huo Sinuan, which had become a habit.

Huo Sinuan has been so outstanding since childhood, and has never let them down.

"Mom, can you give me some money, I will go shopping with my friends tomorrow."

Zhou Ruoping put down the beans in her hand, frowned and said, "How much do you want?"

"Not much, just five thousand yuan."

five thousand! That's not much!

Huo Yan couldn't help but put down the book and looked up at his mother.

Mother was also full of embarrassment: "Will it cost so much to go shopping?"

"Those girls always pay by credit card when they go out. They can buy tens of thousands of bags casually. Five thousand yuan is really not much." Huo Sinuan shook his mother's arm and pleaded coquettishly: "Mom, you Just fulfill my little wish, and treat it as a reward for my final exam."

However, before Zhou Ruoping could speak, Huo Yan took the mobile phone and casually said, "Sister, are you the person on the make-up exam list?"

As soon as Huo Sinuan heard the word make-up exam, his expression changed instantly, and he gave Huo Yan a threatening look.

"What make-up exam?" Zhou Ruoping raised her head and asked Huo Yan.

"Oh, it's just failing the make-up exam. The list has come out. My sister seems to have failed the subject of Computer Principles. You have to take the make-up exam at the beginning of the semester. If you fail the make-up exam, you won't be able to get the credits for this course. You have to wait until graduation. Test."

The mother stood up suddenly and asked with a stern expression, "Why is it so serious!"

"What's more serious is that once you fail the course, the scholarship for this semester will be gone, and you don't even think about the graduate school."

"Huo Sinuan, didn't you say that you did well in the exam? How could this happen!" Realizing the seriousness of the matter, her mother scolded her sharply: "You still have to go to graduate school, what should you do!"

Huo Sinuan glared at Huo Yan bitterly, and said eagerly to her mother: "Mom, it's not that serious, it's just a public class. In the future, when I go to graduate school, at worst, I can take the exam by myself. It's not that I can't pass the exam, mom. That five thousand dollars..."

"It seems that I'm too used to you, and you still want to ask me for money. Don't even think about it. This winter vacation, you should study your homework at home and don't go anywhere!"

Huo Sinuan threw away the bean basket in her hand, turned around and went back to the room angrily, Huo Yan raised her voice to her back: "Sister, do you want me to make up your lessons for you?"

Huo Yan is a computer major, and he can answer the test papers of this basic public course with his eyes closed.

Huo Sinuan slammed the door of the room, looking very angry.

Mother just remembered at this time, and asked Huo Yan anxiously: "How are your grades, you didn't fail the class."

"No." Huo Yan picked up the phone again, and said calmly, "Should be able to get the scholarship."

There was a hint of surprise in the mother's eyes, and she re-examined and looked at her little daughter.

"Yanyan is awesome, mom really underestimated you before."

Huo Yan pursed her lips and opened the WeChat group.

Su Wan: "@胡烟@胡烟@胡烟, what about you, have you really hit the dog in the water?"

Lin Chuyu: "Huo Yan is not such a person, she doesn't bother to argue with Huo Sinuan."

Luo Yinan: "Trust me, she definitely is."

Huo Yan: "I'm back."

Su Wan: "Why did you go?"

Huo Yan: "I went to practice the dog-beating-stick technique."

Su Wan: "Yo!"

Lin Chuyu: "A sudden wave of slaps in the face."

Luo Yinan: "[Smile]"
