"Hey, how can you talk like that? Your house just collapsed in the middle of the night!"
Jiang Yueying put her hands on her hips and retorted, glaring at Huo Jinyu viciously. She thought that she must have been blind just now, how could she think this guy was handsome
He can't even speak the most basic words. How could he be a classmate of such a person
"Yueying." Jiang Qingzhou turned his head slightly and called out, while blinking at Jiang Yueying.
Jiang Yueying was obviously stunned. Before she could think about what the boy's wink at her meant, she was pulled behind him the next second. Then she heard the boy say "hmm" to his classmate in a serious manner, and it sounded like he agreed with what his classmate had just said.
Man, it's so weird tonight!
"I also feel that this house is about to collapse, so you should not stay in the hotel."
When Jiang Yueying heard the young man's words, she was stunned again. It turned out that this was what the young man meant. He didn't want his classmates to live in his house.
Just the word—"you"
Did the guy do it on purpose or intentionally
It’s too peacekeeping.
"Come and stay in a hotel with me." Huo Jinyu said, and he grabbed Jiang Qingzhou's arm, pulled Jiang Qingzhou's wrist and was about to pull him out the door. The moment he turned around, he did not forget to glance at Jiang Yueying.
Because of the height advantage, this glance from top to bottom is like looking down from a high vantage point, with a particularly strong imposing feeling, as if I am the principal wife, and you mistresses had better be sensible and get out of here quickly.
Jiang Yueying: The lady is so arrogant. My fists are hardened by her. Why is this classmate like this? I really want to put a sack on him and beat him on the head.
Otherwise it would be unsatisfying.
"Hey, hey, hey, classmate Huo, wait a moment..."
"Let go of my little brother!"
Jiang Qingzhou and Jiang Yueying spoke at almost the same time. Jiang Yueying reacted with a look of surprise. She quickly grabbed her brother's other arm and pulled him towards her: "You are such a weird person. Why don't you stay in a hotel by yourself? Why are you dragging my brother to stay in a hotel with you? It makes my brother feel like he has no home."
"Home? That's it—" Huo Jinyu sneered, with the sarcasm at its peak, "I thought it was an antique displayed in a museum, and it can be written into history books."
"You..." Jiang Yueying was so angry that her voice trembled, and her bright almond-shaped eyes turned red with anger.
Where is Jiang Qingzhou
On one side was Huo Jinyu, his "landlord boss"; on the other side was Jiang Yueying, his sister. The middleman Jiang Qingzhou suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was inexplicably overly familiar.
It seemed that last time, Huo Jinyu and the male protagonist each pulled one of his arms, and his arm was almost dislocated.
Jiang Qingzhou tried to break free, but Huo Jinyu held him tightly and he couldn't pull his hand back. Jiang Yueying saw that Huo Jinyu didn't let go, so she naturally couldn't let go and let Huo Jinyu take her brother away right under her nose.
The two men were in a stalemate, neither of them giving in.
"Can you let me go first? This is my home..." Jiang Qingzhou had no choice but to whisper to Huo Jinyu, "It's also where I grew up. My uncle and aunt relied on a small shop like this to earn money to support the family. That's why I could go to college, and I could..."
However, before he could finish his words, three people came down from the corridor.
Because the old house was not very soundproof, they heard some noises upstairs, which sounded like a quarrel, so they immediately came downstairs to see what was going on.
Uncle Jiang, who was the first to come down, saw his nephew being pulled by the little girl and a stranger, each holding one of his arms, as if they were playing tug-of-war.
His eyes widened immediately, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "Zhou Zhou? Yueying... What are you doing?"
Jiang Yueying spoke first: "Dad, come and help me, this guy wants to kidnap my brother and live in a hotel."
Uncle Jiang: “…” What did the little girl say? I don’t understand.
Jiang Qingzhou twitched his eyelids barely noticeably, even using the word "kneel", which showed how much Jiang Yueying disliked Huo Jinyu.
But it is true that Huo Jinyu's mouth can easily offend people.
The young master speaks without restraint and says whatever he wants. Even if he offends people, most people will put on a smile.
After all, the family background is there.
"Uncle, aunt, let me introduce you. This is my classmate. His last name is Huo. Um... that's the classmate I told you about last night."
Jiang family: “…”
The classmate that Zhou Zhou/younger mentioned yesterday, isn’t that the one who opened a supermarket with Zhou Zhou/younger
Uncle Jiang quickly wiped his hands with the hem of his shirt several times before he stretched out a hand and said sincerely, "Can I call you... Xiao Huo?"
Huo Jinyu nodded slightly and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Uncle Jiang.
Uncle Jiang then felt relieved and continued, "Um... I'm Zhou Zhou's uncle. Zhou Zhou told us everything last night. Xiao Huo, thank you for trusting my Zhou Zhou and letting him manage such a big supermarket."
Afterwards, Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang warmly welcomed Huo Jinyu to the second floor.
The area of the second floor of the convenience store is twice as large as that of the first floor. Because there is a warehouse behind the convenience store on the first floor, the living area of the second floor is about 120 square meters. The space is neither too big nor too small, and it is divided into three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom.
It was the first time that the young master saw such a cramped old house, and his eyes widened in astonishment. Jiang Qingzhou glanced at him and comforted him softly: "I won't let you live here. I'll take you to a hotel later."
Aunt Jiang immediately took over the conversation, her voice even hoarser than Uncle Jiang's: "Why stay in a hotel? It's too expensive. Xiao Huo rarely comes here, so he must stay at our house. Xiao Huo... Auntie cleaned Zhou Zhou's room very clean a few days ago, you and Zhou Zhou can stay in the same room."
"Mom..." Jiang Yueying stomped her feet lightly, ran to her mother in two or three steps, and told her the truth about the quarrel between her and Huo Jinyu just now.
"Why do you want to let him live in your house? He just said that our house is old and dilapidated and will collapse in the middle of the night! He also wants to take my brother to live with him in a hotel." Jiang Yueying became more and more angry as she spoke. She pouted her lips and glared at Huo Jinyu fiercely. She was still holding her brother's hand. No one knew what evil intentions he had.
Humph! Anyway, he is not a good person.
When Aunt Jiang heard what her youngest daughter said, she exclaimed and was in a dilemma, not knowing whether she should keep the child or not.
As they were all family, Uncle Jiang could naturally see through Aunt Jiang's inner struggle. He smiled shyly at Huo Jinyu, his eyes fell on his little girl, and he said to smooth things over: "This child... Xiao Huo, I know you definitely don't mean that."
Jiang Qingzhou pulled slightly on the hand that Huo Jinyu was holding on his wrist and signaled with his eyes.
Huo Jinyu nodded, which was considered as a positive confirmation of what Uncle Jiang said.
Uncle Jiang murmured in his heart, wondering if there was some misunderstanding. When they first met, he felt that Zhou Zhou, his rich classmate, was quite polite.
When he shook hands with him just now, he paid special attention to the way Zhou Zhou's classmate looked at him. He did not show any arrogance or contempt towards him or their family.
Zhou Zhou has a good vision.
The classmate came all the way from Kyoto to see Zhou Zhou, so since guests are welcome, we must treat them well.
Uncle Jiang meant the same thing as Aunt Jiang. Staying in a hotel is definitely not as good as staying at home. It would be a good opportunity for him to stay in the same room with Zhou Zhou, and the classmates could also enhance their relationship.
After figuring it out, he pointed to the half-old floor tiles under Huo Jinyu's feet and said with a simple smile: "Xiao Huo, our house is old, but when it was built, the foundation underneath was absolutely solid, and the steel and bricks were all good materials. You can live here without worry, it will definitely not collapse in the middle of the night."
Jiang Qingzhou was about to say no, but Huo Jinyu had already nodded before him. Jiang Qingzhou opened his lips, his pupils widened in surprise, and his eyes stared straight at Huo Jinyu: "Do you really want to live here?"
When their eyes met, Huo Jinyu was captivated by those clear and bright eyes.
So beautiful, brighter and rounder than the stars in the sky.
Want to fish.
With a "pop".
Almost as soon as Huo Jinyu raised his hand, Jiang Qingzhou caught it out of the corner of his eye. As if he had some kind of telepathic connection and was able to predict what Huo Jinyu would do next, Jiang Qingzhou reached out without hesitation and patted the hand that had just been half raised back.
By the way, I took a sidelong glance.
Huo Jinyu suddenly tightened his jaw, feeling inexplicably a little restless.
For some reason... when Jiang Qingzhou glanced at him just now, he felt...
It felt as if an electric current suddenly passed through his brows and bones and hit his heart directly. A numbing and trembling electric current suddenly surged at the tip of his heart.
… What’s going on with the little white rabbit? Is there electricity hidden in its eyes? It can even shock him from a distance.
"Zhou Zhou, you are a guest, you can't...ah..." Uncle Jiang reminded Jiang Qingzhou, meaning that he should not bully Huo Jinyu. "Your classmates came to play with you late at night, which shows that you two must have a good relationship in school. Let Xiao Huo stay at home for one night."
I'm not, I didn't. If he hadn't slapped Huo Jinyu just now, Huo Jinyu would have slapped him in the face in front of the Jiang family.
Jiang Qingzhou was speechless, and happened to meet Huo Jinyu's deliberate expression of "Actually I don't want to live here, but your uncle insisted on inviting me to live in your house, so I'm in a dilemma now..."
"My uncle and aunt invited me so kindly, so I can't refuse."
"I'll just make do with it tonight."
Jiang Qingzhou rolled his eyes in response.
Let the young master stay here if he wants. This will save him the money for a hotel.
Well... it's okay to live in his house. At night, he still wants to pry open Huo Jinyu's clam mouth, the wound on Huo Jinyu's face, and why he came here all the way from Kyoto penniless.
We must definitely find out.
"Uncle, do you have the phone number of the owner of the restaurant across the street? I want to order some dishes..."
After a pause, Jiang Qingzhou pointed at Huo Jinyu and said, "Student Huo hasn't eaten for a day."
“Ah... yes, yes, yes..." Uncle Jiang was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly. He felt his cell phone and found it was missing, so he turned around and went to the room to get it.
The restaurant cooked the dishes quickly. Twenty minutes later, Uncle Jiang came back with a large rectangular tray with four dishes, a soup, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, plus a large bowl of white rice.
Huo Jinyu took two bites and lost interest. The rice was dry and hard, and the dishes had a messy smell of seasonings, making it simply difficult to swallow.
It was far inferior to the fried eggs that Little White Rabbit made that day.
Huo Jinyu had a poor appetite, and Jiang Qingzhou could see it. The young master was used to eating delicacies from land and sea, and meals that were colorful, fragrant and delicious. The meals prepared in a small town restaurant were probably not to his taste.
"Can't eat?"
“The rice is too hard.”
After a question and an answer, Jiang Qingzhou glanced at the white rice on the table and asked, "Would you like some noodles? I'll make you a bowl of noodles. It'll be ready in a few minutes."
Huo Jinyu was silent for a while, then slowly raised two fingers: "Two more poached eggs."
Jiang Qingzhou chuckled softly, his eyebrows curved with laughter, and even the dimples at the corners of his lips were filled with intoxicating warmth: "Okay. Add two more poached eggs."
There were a lot of ingredients in the refrigerator at home, so Jiang Qingzhou used the ingredients available there to make a bowl of mushroom and shredded chicken noodles and fried two poached eggs.
This time, Huo Jinyu ate without any reluctance, and her pair of peach blossom eyes narrowed into crescent shapes in pleasure.
A bowl of noodles and half a bowl of soup, finished in a moment.
Jiang Qingzhou also cut some fruit for after-meal, and Huo Jinyu also ate it all up.
After eating and drinking, go back to the room.
The energy-saving lamp hanging in the middle of the room emitted bright light. Huo Jinyu walked into the room two steps behind him and took in all the furnishings in the room at a glance.
There is a desk with a bookcase, which is at the same height as the ceiling. Next to it is the bed, and a light blue four-piece set is neatly spread on the bed.
When Huo Jinyu saw the pattern on the bed sheet, he didn't know what politeness meant at all and laughed out loud: "Rabbit head pillow, rabbit head bed sheet, rabbit head quilt cover, all blue and white bunny heads..."
"There are even a bunch of rabbit dolls on the bed and the bedside table. Who are you trying to make laugh to death? And you're saying that you and rabbits are not... not a family, hahahaha..."
"There are two bedside tables in total, and the other one is a lamp with a picture of Chang'e holding a rabbit and flying to the moon. I think you have fallen into the rabbit hole..."
Ahahahahahahahahaha…
Huo Jinyu's laughter became more and more devilish, and against Jiang Qingzhou's slightly dark complexion, the two formed a sharp contrast.
Jiang Qingzhou couldn't quite understand Huo Jinyu's sense of humor. Was it necessary to laugh so hard and exaggeratedly at an ordinary and common rabbit suit
Because Aunt Jiang loves all furry animals, the baby supplies she bought for the three of them since they were young, especially the four-piece sets, were mostly all with cute animal patterns.
As for the nest of rabbit dolls and the rabbit lamp with the Chang'e Flying to the Moon, they were birthday gifts given to him by Jiang Yueying and Jiang Yuehong last year.
Jiang Qingzhou pursed his lips and sighed silently. His birthday happened to be on the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he would receive various gifts related to the Mid-Autumn Festival on his birthday every year.
The most common type of gifts he received were rabbits, especially rabbit-shaped dolls. Jiang Yueying gave him one every year, sometimes just one, sometimes a pair, and sometimes a whole family of rabbits. Last year was even more exciting, not only did she give him a whole nest of rabbits, she also put them on his bedside table.
If you open the smaller cabinet under his big wardrobe, it's full of all kinds of rabbit dolls.
Thinking about it this way, what Huo Jinyu described was not wrong. In some ways, his room was indeed a rabbit hole.
The devilish laughter in his ears continued to output, making Jiang Qingzhou's ears slightly numb. He glanced at Huo Jinyu indifferently and said, "You talk as if you won't sleep in the rabbit hole tonight."
“… uh…” Huo Jinyu was speechless.
Jiang Qingzhou stopped Huo Jinyu from saying, "Since you have decided to live with me, don't complain about this or that."
Huo Jinyu tutted, and her laughter gradually subsided: "I've already entered your rabbit hole, what else can I dislike, haha!"
After saying that, Huo Jinyu measured the length of the bed with his hands. It was indeed not big, less than two meters: "I'm a good sleeper. I won't push you out of bed in the middle of the night."
"Go take a shower first, and then I'll put some medicine on your wound."
Jiang Qingzhou nodded vaguely, turned around, opened the wardrobe, and took out a vest and a pair of one-size shorts.
He coughed and handed it to Huo Jinyu: "I bought this set of clothes two years ago and it's too big. It's been kept at the bottom of the box ever since. You can wear it for now. I'll buy you a new one tomorrow."
Huo Jinyu has high eyebrows.
She picked up the eye-hurting green printed beach pants with one finger and threw them aside. Then she pinched the light pink vest with two fingers and shook it. Her whole body, from inside to outside, from body to heart, revealed the word "disgust".
"You want me to wear this?"
"The mall is closed. If you don't mind..." Jiang Qingzhou spread his hands, blinked innocently and said, "You don't have to wear it."
"..." Huo Jinyu gritted her teeth and spoke word by word, "I don't have the good habit of **."
"Oh!" Jiang Qingzhou tilted his head and reached out to pat Huo Jinyu's shoulder. A gentle smile appeared on his lips. His profile was as delicate and perfect as a real-life doll displayed in a glass window.
Pretty and cool, with fair skin and beautiful looks.
"It doesn't matter. I don't care. I have everything you have."
Huo Jinyu was so absorbed in the beauty that he didn't even pay attention to what Jiang Qingzhou said. When he came to his senses, he had already been pushed out of the room.
There is no bathroom in Jiang Qingzhou's room, so if he wants to take a shower, he needs to go to a separate bathroom outside.
"Okay, I've adjusted the water temperature for you, go ahead and take a shower." Jiang Qingzhou provided attentive service and manually adjusted the shower water temperature to the optimal temperature.
"… No**."
At the moment when the single door of the bathroom was about to be closed, Huo Jinyu finally managed to utter a word.
We can't let him walk around in nothing but beach shorts.
Not civilized, nor elegant.
Uh... Jiang Qingzhou scratched his forehead. It seemed that he didn't get the ** for Huo Jinyu.
"You wash first, I'll go look for it and bring it to you when I find it."
The last pair of pants Jiang Qingzhou took over were from Jiang Dabotun. They were bright red and very vintage and festive.
He took one look at himself and wanted to cover his face.
It is estimated that everything that happened tonight will become the most unforgettable black history in Huo Jinyu's lifetime.
No! He had to hold back and not laugh.
If Huo Jinyu knew that he was making fun of him, the young master might get furious again.
A few minutes later, accompanied by a "clang" sound, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
A gust of hot air rushed into the room from outside the door. Jiang Qingzhou raised his eyes to take a look, then turned his head away, as if he couldn't bear to look at it.
He just turned his head away, but the stunning glimpse just now was still deeply engraved in his mind.
A light pink vest, green printed beach pants, and a pair of black flip-flops bring the two elements of flowers and soil to the extreme.
As the saying goes: "Buddha relies on gold ornaments, people rely on clothes."
Although Huo Jinyu's outfit is a bit fancy and looks tacky, he is still handsome and cool despite his good looks, good figure, and outstanding temperament.
Just looking at him for a few more seconds would make people want to laugh, thinking, how could such a handsome guy have such a bad taste
How weird!
Jiang Qingzhou tried to hold it in for half a minute, but he couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.
Hahaha... Huo Jinyu's image is too eye-catching and too eye-catching, just like a big conspicuous bag walking around attracting everyone's attention.
If Huo Jinyu went out wearing this outfit tomorrow, she would definitely turn heads 200% and would be the most beautiful girl on the street.
In Jiang Qingzhou's mind, he had already imagined a famous scene where Huo Jinyu wore this outfit and paraded through the streets, shocking the crowds.
Hmm... I can secretly take two photos later when Huo Jinyu isn't paying attention and keep them as a souvenir.
Just after laughing twice, a handsome and gloomy face suddenly enlarged in front of him. Jiang Qingzhou felt something was wrong and wanted to retreat!
It's too late.
Huo Jinyu had already pinched both of his cheeks with her voice in a low tone, and Jiang Qingzhou only felt like a gust of cold wind when he heard it.
"The little rabbit has grown bolder and even dared to laugh at me! Huh—?!"
The last "hmm" had a long tail, carrying some kind of warning and unclear meaning.
“… Mu (no)… Sukawo (let me go)… I’m praising you for being handsome…”
With his cheeks pinched, Jiang Qingzhou had great difficulty in speaking. Many words were pronounced out of tune and sounded like alien language.
Huo Jinyu didn't understand.
He squeezed enough and then let go.
With a glance, Jiang Qingzhou snorted softly, expressing his dissatisfaction in a low voice, and then slowly pulled away the pure wooden chair in front of the desk.
Huo Jinyu sat down with a big horse and a golden knife, raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you mumbling?"
"Hmm..." Jiang Qingzhou blinked, quickly put on a well-behaved and harmless smile, and took a bottle of iodine and a cotton swab from the desk, "I'll apply the medicine to you, turn your head a little..."
The voice stopped abruptly. He was only looking at Huo Jinyu's face and didn't pay attention to him.
Jiang Qingzhou frowned as he looked at the many bruises and purple marks, as well as the red wounds on Huo Jinyu's body.
"—What happened? Why are you still so injured?"
"This injury is nothing..." Huo Jinyu didn't care about the injury at all. He moved to a seat next to him and lay down. He yawned lazily, "I'm so tired. I'm going to sleep first."
Jiang Qingzhou pulled Huo Jinyu and asked him to get up: "The wound has not been medicated yet."
Huo Jinyu didn't move: "It will be fine in a few days."
"Get up! Some of your wounds are broken and swollen. You need to apply some iodine to disinfect them. They will be much better tomorrow."
Jiang Qingzhou insisted, but Huo Jinyu was not very cooperative. Jiang Qingzhou had no choice but to apply medicine to him while Huo Jinyu was lying on his side.
The wounds on Huo Jinyu's body were mainly concentrated on her waist, abdomen, shoulders, back and arms, with large wounds interspersed with small ones. The more Jiang Qingzhou looked at them, the tighter his brows furrowed.
He wanted to ask how these wounds came about? He also wanted to ask who he had fought with. But from Huo Jinyu's repeated evasiveness, Jiang Qingzhou knew clearly that if he asked directly, Huo Jinyu would definitely not tell him.
Who is it with
Apart from the male lead... who else dares to fight Huo Jinyu
Could Huo Jinyu's sudden visit to Nanning be related to his fight
After following Huo Jinyu for a month, he also learned some basic information about the Huo family from the side, such as -
The old man of the Huo family, Huo Jinyu's father, was very strict with Huo Jinyu. If he found Huo Jinyu fighting or causing trouble outside, he would lock him up at home for a few days to reflect on himself without saying a word.
As for how many days it would take to reflect, it all depended on how serious the trouble Huo Jinyu had caused was.
Could it be that Huo Jinyu didn't want to be locked up at home to reflect on his actions, so he ran away...
Following this line of thought, there is a clue as to why Huo Jinyu appeared in Nanning without a cell phone, an ID card, and any money.
Jiang Qingzhou was multitasking. On one hand, he was analyzing the various possibilities of Huo Jinyu's appearance in Nanning City, and on the other hand, he was gently massaging the bruises on Huo Jinyu's arms.
No one spoke in the room. The only sound that could be heard was the three-blade ceiling fan on the roof, making a "buzzing" sound as it worked hard.
Jiang Qingzhou was so absorbed in his thoughts that he missed what Huo Jinyu suddenly said.
"—That day... Tong Jiuchen bullied you, why didn't you tell me?"
