Huo Qiming and Huo Yanni's family usually lived in the old house of the Huo family. The last time Shen Wanying came over, she only saw Aunt Huo Cheng.
Huo Cheng's uncle was married, and Huo Yanni didn't move out after marriage, so he stayed here forever. Their daughter followed Huo Yanni's surname and called Huo Meiqi. Huo Meiqi is about the same age as Huo Cheng, and she studies in another private school in A city.
Originally, when Huo Cheng returned to City A, everyone wanted to arrange Huo Meiqi in the same school, but he insisted on going to a private No. 1 middle school. At first, everyone didn't know the reason for his insistence, but now it is somewhat clear.
Dare to love from the very beginning, this kid was going for Shen Wanying
"This is my grandfather, my uncle and my aunt, and my cousin Huo Meiqi." Huo Cheng stood beside Shen Wanying and introduced her to the family in a low voice.
Shen Wanying greeted everyone one by one and stood there nervously. Huo Qiming looked at her with a smile and beckoned her to sit down: "Stop standing, sit down."
"Thank you, Grandpa Huo."
"You don't have to be so polite, just treat it like you are in your own home." Huo Qiming is rarely so kind, "Do you want to eat fruit? I will let you cut a fruit for you."
Shen Wanying said cautiously, "No need for Grandpa Huo, thank you."
"Then what do you want to eat?"
Huo Cheng helped Shen Wanying to stop: "Grandpa, it's about to have lunch, so let's not eat anything else."
"That's fine." Huo Qiming nodded, "Let's go to the dining room first, lunch should be almost ready."
"it is good."
Everyone followed Huo Qiming to the dining room, and Huo Cheng walked beside Shen Wanying to comfort her: "Don't be nervous, just have a meal together."
"En." Shen Wanying said um, still nervous.
With all the elders in the family, Huo Cheng couldn't hold her hand, so he could only say something else to divert her attention: "By the way, my father brought a lot of things back from abroad, and he said they were all for you. "
"For me?"
"Well, I'll take you up to have a look after dinner."
"Okay." Shen Wanying said, feeling a little embarrassed again, "Uncle Huo also prepared a gift for me? Isn't that appropriate?"
"There's nothing inappropriate, it should be." Huo Cheng said it for granted.
The two walked to the restaurant and sat down next to each other. Huo Cheng gave a lot of opinions on the menu for today's meal. After the dishes were served, Shen Wanying found that most of them were what she liked.
As if Shen Wanying was embarrassed to serve food considering that there were so many elders around, Huo Cheng kept helping her. Huo Cheng usually has a cold personality. It was the first time that Huo Yanni saw him so attentive, so she couldn't help but say, "I can't see that Huo Cheng is so considerate."
Huo Cheng didn't speak, but Huo Qiming looked at his son-in-law and said, "Don't you understand what Yanni means? She wants you to serve her dishes too."
Uncle Huo Cheng quickly gave Huo Yanni a chopstick dish.
Huo Yanni was a little speechless, she obviously didn't mean it that way, but she could see that the old man really liked Huo Cheng, so much that even Shen Wanying helped protect him.
After that, Huo Yanni didn't say anything more at the dinner table, and Huo Qiming asked Huo Meiqi to study more with Huo Cheng and Shen Wanying to improve her grades.
Huo Meiqi had a headache: "Grandpa, whether this grade is good or not has a lot to do with heredity."
Huo Yanni was a little unhappy when she heard that she was throwing the pot on herself: "What do you mean by that? Dare Huo Cheng is not inherited from our family's genes?"
Huo Meiqi said: "This is mainly because he didn't inherit you."
Huo Yanni looked at Huo Cheng who was sitting opposite: "Huo Cheng, tell her about this genetics."
"Mom, don't disturb people. They have a date later. How can you teach me this?"
Huo Yanni really wanted to knock her on the head.
After eating, Huo Chengzhen went on a date with Shen Wanying.
The date was in Huo Cheng's room. Huo Tingxiao put all the things he brought back from abroad in a suitcase and put them in Huo Cheng's room.
Shen Wanying followed Huo Cheng upstairs, looked at the box lying on the floor in the room, and asked Huo Cheng, "Have you ever opened it? What's inside?"
Huo Chengdao: "I haven't opened it yet. My dad said it's for you, so I want to keep it for you to open it yourself."
"Oh... so mysterious." Shen Wanying said, crouched down, and opened the box.
There were many packaged gifts in the box, of different sizes. As soon as Shen Wanying opened the box, she couldn't help sighing: "Wow, so many?"
Huo Cheng was stunned when he saw this.
When Shen Wanying was in a trance, he picked up a box and turned it over to look at it. There was a sticky note on it: "For Shen Wanying on her 15th birthday... eh?"
The handwriting on the note belonged to Huo Cheng. They often did homework together, and she recognized it.
"Hey, you gave me these?" Shen Wanying held a gift in her hand and looked up at Huo Cheng with some doubts.
Huo Cheng was rarely calm, and seemed a little embarrassed. No wonder his father's tone was a little ambiguous when he said there was a gift for Shen Wanying.
"Um... these... "
Before Huo Cheng could figure out how to explain it, Shen Wanying picked up another gift with the words "For Shen Wanying on her 13th birthday". She looked through all the beautifully packaged gift boxes, from ten to seventeen.
"When did you prepare these?" Shen Wanying spread out the gifts all over the place. She sat in the middle of the gifts and looked at Huo Cheng inquiringly.
Huo Cheng coughed lightly and said, "It was prepared for your birthday every year, but it was not given out. These may have been discovered by my father when he helped me find bows and arrows last time."
He asked Huo Tingxiao to help him send bows and arrows, but he didn't expect him to bring these things to him too.
Shen Wanying thought for a while before asking him, "So after we met at the age of ten, you still think about me?"
Huo Cheng lowered his head in disguise, and coughed again.
Shen Wanying raised her eyebrows in delight, and took out the last item in the box.
It was an oil painting of a little girl in a dress sitting under a rose vine and reading a book. She wore a beautiful hat on her head, surrounded by blooming flowers, as beautiful as a scene from a fairy tale.
Shen Wanying was slightly taken aback.
She knew that the little girl in the painting was him. This was the first time Huo Cheng saw her.
The brushstrokes of the oil painting are very immature, but each stroke is carefully drawn, which is much better than the other works of Huo Cheng that Shen Wanying saw in the villa.
"Did you draw this too?"
"Well..." Huo Cheng pursed the corners of his mouth, looked at Shen Wanying and said, "When I saw you, it felt like an oil painting by my mother. So I painted this painting after I went abroad. Not very good… "
"No, I think the painting is very good." Shen Wanying smiled at him, "It's beautiful, like a scene from a fairy tale."
"Um… "
"And it's very serious, it looks better than your abstract ones, haha." Shen Wanying pointed to a bee flying on the rose vine, "Look, there are details!"
Speaking of this, she suddenly froze.
She remembered that Huo Cheng had mentioned to her before that he was stung by a wasp when he was ten years old.
She raised her head and looked at Huo Cheng who was sitting next to her: "You told me before that you were stung by a wasp, isn't this the time?"
"Well." Huo Cheng was silent for a while before speaking.
Shen Wanying didn't know that he was stung by a wasp at the time, so she frowned and looked at him: "How come I don't know? When did you get stung by a wasp?"
"When moving the ladder."
Shen Wanying's eyes moved: "It's time to help me get my hat? Then why didn't you say it?"
Huo Chengdao: "I'm afraid that you are worried, and that the adults will blame you."
Shen Wanying didn't know what to say for a while, she looked at Huo Cheng, her heart beating a little faster. After a while, she opened her mouth and said to him, "Where did you get stung?"
"index finger."
Shen Wanying spread her hands: "Show me."
Huo Cheng couldn't help but chuckle: "It's been a long time."
"Show me."
Huo Cheng obediently handed out his hand.
Shen Wanying dragged the back of his hand and asked him, "Is this the finger?"
"Um."
Shen Wanying blew on his index finger and coaxed the children, "It won't hurt if you blow it."
Huo Cheng felt as if his heart was being tickled by Shen Wanying, he looked at her for a while, lifted her chin and kissed her on the forehead.
The moment he lifted Shen Wanying's chin, Shen Wanying's heartbeat almost stopped. She thought Huo Cheng was going to kiss her, but fortunately he just restrained and kissed her on the forehead.
Shen Wanying blushed, Huo Cheng leaned into her ear and said softly, "I really want to graduate soon."
Shen Wanying's face turned even redder, what do you want to do after graduation
And time really flies as fast as Huo Cheng hoped.
The third year of high school is a word that can make everyone full of memories. Every day of the third year of high school seemed to be tormented, but once I regained my senses, the countdown on the wall had reached zero.
This year, Shen Wanying's grades have improved more than before, and sometimes the exams even surpass Ji Yao's. Teacher Song and Jiang Yu are very pleased to see them. Sure enough, falling in love with Huo Cheng will affect her grades, but it will also have a positive effect. .
The day before leaving school, the students frantically wrote their wishes for the future on the message board.
Some people hope to become beautiful and thin, some people hope that they will succeed in confession after the college entrance examination, some people hope that everyone will have a bright future, and some people are more realistic.
"I wish all the students to be admitted to the ideal university." Shen Wanying looked at the sentence Zhao Yimeng just wrote, and laughed, "This is not like Zhao Yimeng's style."
Huo Chengdao: "The 'the CPs I'm drinking are real' next to me is also written by her."
"Oh..." This is Zhao Yimeng. Shen Wanying looked at Huo Cheng next to him and asked him, "What do you want to write?"
Huo Cheng thought for a while, picked up a pen and wrote his blessings on the message board.
"Be yourself?" Shen Wanying read out the words he wrote. Huo Cheng gave an "um", looked at her and said, "After I learned about my mother, I realized that it was so difficult to be myself."
Shen Wanying nodded as if feeling touched. Aunt Fang was indeed trapped in the quagmire, and finally went to tragedy. In comparison, she is much luckier.
Because she met Huo Cheng.
If she hadn't met Huo Cheng, she would probably have sunk deeper and deeper into this quagmire like Aunt Fang, and finally drowned herself completely.
"What about you, what are you going to write?" Huo Cheng asked her.
"Me?" Shen Wanying thought for a while, took the pen in Huo Cheng's hand, and wrote down a line on the message board.
May everyone who likes you like the real you.
