After Huo Cheng and Shen Wanying graduated from high school, they went to study in France together.
Shen Wanying turned 20 this year, and her family specifically told her to take advantage of the holiday to return to China to live.
Shen Wanying's birthday is very special. It is February 29th. According to the Gregorian calendar, it can only be celebrated once every four years. Usually Shen Wanying celebrates the lunar calendar, but at the age of 20, it is finally February 29, so it will have a lot more ceremony than the lunar calendar.
Huo Cheng came back with Shen Wanying. It was originally a journey of two people, but a light bulb was just stuffed in.
Claude is Shen Wanying's college classmate. Hearing that the two of them are going back to China, he is very excited to say that he has never been to China and wants to come and see with them.
Huo Cheng had rejection written all over his face, but Claude didn't seem to feel it. Where to go is the freedom of others, and Huo Cheng can't tie him up, but when buying tickets, he helped Claude set a position far away from them.
After getting off the plane, Claude was the first to pass the security check and waited for them outside the airport with a luggage cart. Huo Cheng also pushed a luggage cart and walked beside Shen Wanying. As soon as he came out, he saw the beautiful Frenchman. He pretended not to see him, but Claude was not blind and saw them soon.
"Hey, Shen, Huo, here I am." Claude waved his hands enthusiastically.
Shen Wanying glanced at Huo Cheng with a frozen face beside her, and smiled at Claude.
"Why are you so slow." Claude waited for them to come out and began to arrange the next itinerary excitedly, "I did a strategy before I came. There are many interesting places in City A, Shen, let's go together."
Huo Cheng glanced at him: "You should get rid of the jet lag first."
"Oh no, I'm so excited now!"
Huo Cheng said blankly: "But we are not excited. I have booked a hotel for you, and I will call a car to take you there."
"No, no." Claude shook his head repeatedly, "I don't want to go to the hotel now, I want to go around."
"Okay, then I'll let the driver accompany you." As soon as Huo Cheng said this, his driver came over.
"Master Huo Cheng." The driver greeted Huo Cheng and wanted to help him with his luggage, but Huo Cheng refused.
"You help me send this foreign friend first." Huo Cheng pointed to Claude, "I have already arranged the hotel for him, you can accompany him wherever he wants to go."
"OK."
"Then let's go." Huo Cheng pulled Shen Wanying away involuntarily. Claude still called Shen Wanying from behind, Shen Wanying turned around and told him to contact him later, and followed Huo Cheng away.
"Where did you book him a hotel?" Shen Wanying asked Huo Cheng next to her as she walked.
Huo Chengdao: "The farthest hotel from us."
"...Pfft." Shen Wanying laughed and said to him, "Would it be too rude for you to do this?"
"can you?"
"Claude is my classmate anyway. You should be more enthusiastic towards foreign friends."
Huo Chengdao: "I just think he is too enthusiastic."
Shen Wanying laughed again and said to Huo Cheng, "Uh, French people are naturally more enthusiastic."
Huo Cheng looked at her: "I don't think he is enthusiastic about others."
Shen Wanying raised her head slightly and looked at him: "Huo Cheng, are you jealous?"
Huo Cheng didn't speak, Shen Wanying blinked and said to him: "I didn't find out before, you are quite jealous, otherwise I will call you jealous in the future."
The two walked to the car where the Shen family was waiting to eat, and Shen Wanying was still laughing and calling Huo Cheng jealous.
"Miss, Master Huo Cheng." The driver saw them coming and quickly got out of the car to help them carry their luggage. After getting into the car, Shen Wanying yawned slightly.
Huo Cheng turned to look at her: "Are you sleepy?"
Shen Wanying nodded: "I didn't sleep well on the plane."
"Then go home and rest."
"Well, what about you?"
"I'll go back after you go back and contact you later." After Huo Cheng finished speaking, he warned again, "Don't go out with that Claude."
"Oh, okay, vinegar."
Huo Cheng: "..."
Huo Cheng no longer lives in the Huo family's old house, but moved back to his own home. Because Huo Tingxiao is abroad, he lives alone here.
Before coming back, he ordered someone to clean the house in advance, and the house was clean at the moment, and it could not be seen that it had been uninhabited for a long time.
Huo Cheng simply packed his luggage, went to take a shower, and lay down on the bed.
He habitually picked up his phone and glanced at it, and found a message from Shen Wanying on the phone.
Awan: Are you home yet
Huo Cheng subconsciously raised the corners of his mouth and replied, "Well, I just took a shower and I'm already lying down."
Awan: Don't you want to eat something? Today's airplane meal wasn't very good.
Huo Cheng: Eat before you wake up. How about you, have you eaten
Awan: Well, my dad insisted that I was thin and forced me to eat a lot [covers face]
Huo Cheng frowned slightly and replied, "Are you thin?"
Awan: [smiles] So do you think I'm fat
Huo Cheng: …
Huo Cheng: I didn't mean that
Awan: So what do you mean [smiles]
Huo Cheng: It means you are beautiful.
Awan: ... Heh, she's quite glib. I also went to take a bath, and I'll find you when I wake up.
Huo Cheng: Good, good dream.
Shen Wanying put down her phone, and Shen Qian, who was sitting beside her, began to complain: "If you don't want to ask you to eat more fruit, just sit there and send a message. Didn't you just separate from Huo Cheng? You start to miss it so soon?"
Shen Wanying blushed when he said that, and stuffed her phone into her bag as if to cover it up, and took a piece of fruit and stuffed it into her mouth. Jiang Yu looked at Shen Qian and said, "Don't be jealous, this is how young people fall in love."
Shen Qian said: "She and Huo Cheng have been in love for so many years, are you still not tired of it?"
"Isn't it in high school before? You're watching so closely, they are studying together every day."
Shen Qian looked at Jiang Yu: "Jiang Yu, you have changed, you were not like this before."
Since Huo Cheng appeared, she has become less principled than before!
Jiang Yu ignored her and turned to ask Shen Wanying: "Wanying, your birthday is coming soon, how are you going to spend it? A birthday party for you at home?"
Shen Wanying hesitated for a while, and then said to her, "Mom, it's fine as long as we spend our birthday together as a family, and we don't need to hold a banquet."
Jiang Yu nodded: "That's okay, you can also call Huo Cheng."
"Uh..." Shen Wanying seemed to hesitate more than before, "Huo Cheng seems to have a plan that day, he asked me out, I have dinner at home at noon, and go out with him in the afternoon, is that okay?"
Before Jiang Yu could speak, Shen Qian took the lead in asking, "Where are you going this afternoon? Just the two of you? When will you be back?"
Shen Wanying: "..."
Jiang Yu glanced at Shen Qian: "Huo Cheng and Wan Ying have been abroad together for more than a year. Are you worried about this issue now, will it be a bit late?"
Shen Qian looked at Shen Wanying with complicated eyes, as if he was hesitant to speak.
"..." Shen Wanying suddenly turned her cheeks away from his eyes, "Huo Cheng and I, no... what, he is quite... restrained... "
Shen Wanying roared in her heart, ahhh, what did she say to her mom and dad!
"Dad, Mom, I went upstairs to rest first." Shen Wanying fled away.
After she went upstairs, Shen Qian pondered for a long time, then turned to ask Jiang Yu, "Do you think what Wan Ying said just now is true?"
Jiang Yu didn't seem to understand: "What?"
"That's right, she and Huo Cheng, nothing like that." When it was his turn to say this, Shen Qian was a little hard to say.
Jiang Yu's expression was as usual, not as embarrassing as they were: "Wan Ying won't lie, she said yes, it should be."
Shen Qian's brows immediately wrinkled: "Then do you think there is something wrong with Huo Cheng?"
His daughter is so beautiful, and the two of them have been studying abroad together for so long, how could Huo Cheng hold back and do nothing? How could he not believe it.
Jiang Yu was silent for a while, then looked at him and said, "So do you really hope they have it or not?"
"Of course I hope they don't." Shen Qian blurted out, "But it doesn't conflict with my suspicion that Huo Cheng has any problems, right?"
Jiang Yu pinched her brows, stood up and said, "Okay, then think about it slowly. There's been a lot of work in the company recently, so I'll go up and have a rest."
Shen Qian: "..."
During Shen Wanying's return to the room to rest, the phone was on the do-not-disturb mode all the time. When she fell asleep, she realized that Claude had sent her so many messages and tirelessly asked her out to play together.
Before leaving for China, Shen Wanying helped Claude download a WeChat account and registered an account. Shen Wanying replied to him, saying that she had just woken up, and then went to find him with Huo Cheng, and yawned again to call Huo Cheng.
Before dialing out, the phone vibrated frantically, Shen Wanying looked down and glanced, it was Claude's call.
Claude has taught himself some Chinese, and he is not fluent in speaking, but he loves to speak it. He is probably too excited now, he can't make it out at noon, so he said to Shen Wanying in French: "I'm in the snack street right now, there are a lot of delicious food here, come with you too!"
Shen Wanying said, "Which snack street are you in?"
"I don't know, there are a lot of people, and everyone is so enthusiastic!" After he finished speaking, he added, "They are more enthusiastic than Huo."
Shen Wanying: "..."
She coughed lightly and asked Claude, "Didn't Huo Cheng's driver follow you?"
"Oh, I've sent him back, I got a travel guide at the front desk of the hotel."
"Oh..." This brother dei is pretty good.
"Aren't you really coming? It's so lively here!" Claude said excitedly at the other end, "There are also acrobatics, it's the first time I've seen it!"
Shen Wanying was about to speak when another phone call came in. She glanced at it and said to Claude, "Huo Cheng called. I'll contact you later, okay?"
"Well, Huo's ice cube face, I really want to ask him to come here to raise the temperature."
Shen Wanying laughed, hung up Claude's phone, and connected Huo Cheng's line: "Hello, Huo Cheng? Are you awake?"
"Well." Huo Cheng's voice was rarely lazy, and sounded particularly sexy, "What are you doing?"
"I just woke up too, your timing is accurate." Shen Wanying said with a smile, "I was on the phone with Claude just now, and he said he was in the snack street, and everyone was very enthusiastic."
Huo Cheng hummed: "This kind of place is designed to kill tourists, of course everyone is enthusiastic."
"… "
"Why didn't you call me when you woke up?"
Shen Wanying said: "I was about to call you when Claude's call came."
Huo Cheng made another note for Claude in his heart, and asked Shen Wanying on the other end of the phone in a warm voice, "Did you tell your parents about your birthday?"
"Well, I said, my dad asked..." Shen Wanying paused for a while before continuing, "Ask me what time I will be home at night."
Huo Cheng was silent for a while, then said, "What if you don't go home?"
