Seventy. The storm under the calm
A heavy haze surrounded Huo Xinzhong's body, watching him get up from the sofa and walk towards the door, for some reason, Chang Xing only felt a violent aura coming towards him, and his scalp tingled.
However, the two people beside him seemed to be accustomed to Huo Xinzhong's emotions, and they didn't have a timid expression, but just called out in a respectful tone, "Mr. Xu." β
Huo Xinzhong walked over, didn't say anything, pulled Chang Xing into the door, and swept the two people at the door with a look of disgust in his eyes without the slightest temperature, and without saying a word, he slammed the door shut in front of them.
Looking at the door that was closed mercilessly, Wei Ke frowned slightly, and glanced at Chi Yan, who was also a little helpless. The two were not surprised, they were familiar with Xu Ye's character, they had long expected such treatment, if it weren't for Huo Xinjun disappearing out of thin air again, they really didn't have any clues, and they didn't want to ask Xu Ye.
After pondering for a moment, guessing the doomed result of the inquiry, Wei Ke shook his head, "Forget it, let's go, he won't tell us if he knows." β
β¦β¦
Chang Xing, who was pulled into the door, was taken aback by Huo Xinzhong's rough behavior and attitude, and was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses.
After closing the door, the expression on Huo Xinzhong's face softened a lot, and it seemed to be no different from usual......
What an emotional person.
Chang Xing sighed, she looked at the door with some concern, "That's not good, they said they had something to look for you, it's rude to shut them out like this." β
Huo Xinzhong glanced at her lightly, sat back on the sofa and continued to read his book, turning a page of the book, he spoke without hurrying, "You don't need to know too much about them." β
She doesn't know anything at all, okay?
However, he had long known that this was a taboo in Huo Xin, so he didn't ask any more. Anyway, those people were also strangers to her, and she didn't need to make Huo Xinzhong unhappy because of them.
"Alright then, as long as you don't be unhappy. "Then I'll go cook first, and you can eat it later. β
Chang Xing put this matter aside, and muttered as he walked to the kitchen, "What kind of dishes should I cook at night? I can't keep up with the nutrition of a vegetarian all the time......
Huo Xinzhong put down the book in his hand and looked at the back of Chang Xing walking into the kitchen, and his gaze stopped for a long time.
The kitchen light was turned on, and a soft glow of yellow light poured out of the doorway. Chang Xing began to prepare dinner, the sound of water running from the faucet, the sound of washing and chopping vegetables, and the sound of sizzling oil in the oil pot. Occasionally, you can see the shadow of Tokoyuki imprinted on the ground as he walked by. All with a sense of homely warmth. Such a life is plain and simple, but it is filled with a faint happiness.
Huo Xinzhong's eyes were half-closed as if he was resting, and the corners of his mouth were gently raised.
After a while, Huo Xinzhong got up from the sofa, he slowly walked to the windowsill, and looked through the glass to the avenue of the community. Wei Ke and Chi Yan had already gotten into the car and turned to leave.
The sunset in the west, under the afterglow of the setting sun, flashed like a misty aura like smoke and fog, Huo Xinzhong under the reflection of the glass mirror, the soft dusk light hit his delicate and handsome face, his expression was very calm, but the deep meaning in his slightly narrowed eyes was incomprehensible.
β¦β¦
A week has passed since Huo Xinzhong came back, and although she is very happy to be able to live a peaceful life with Huo Xinzhong, she is still worried about whether she will delay Huo Xinzhong's work schedule.
However, Huo Xinzhong always said that she would wait a few more days, and she didn't see Chen Feng calling to urge, so she didn't ask anymore.
But to be honest, she really likes this life these days, Huo Xinzhong doesn't have any scenes to shoot all day long, and she doesn't have the feeling of grabbing people with many fans.
I just don't know when such days will end again.
β¦β¦
When he came back from running errands, Huo Xinzhong saw two pairs of men's leather shoes at the door. He glanced thoughtfully for a few moments, then looked away, changed his shoes and entered the door.
Chang Xing poked his head out of the kitchen, "You're back." β
"Hmm. Huo Xinzhong answered, as if unintentionally, "Who is here at home?"
"Oh, it's the water pipes, and every year someone in the building comes to the water pipes. β
"Repair the water pipes?" Huo Xinzhong raised his eyebrows, and looked back at the leather shoes at the door, "What about them?"
Chang Xing pointed to the bathroom in the bedroom, "It's inside." β
Huo Xinzhong nodded, "You do your thing, I'll go in and take a look." β
Walking into the bedroom, Huo Xinzhong saw a man standing at the door of the bathroom, and he didn't miss the surprise that flashed on the man's face.
The man quickly came back to his senses and nodded to Huo Xinzhong, "Hello." β
Huo Xinzhong lazily answered and walked to the door of the bathroom, where there was another man checking the water pipe under the water heater.
Huo Xinzhong didn't leave after reading it, but stood at the door with great interest and watched.
Seeing that Huo Xinzhong had stood for a long time and hadn't left, the man who helped hand over the tools coughed a little embarrassedly and asked, "Sir, do you want to use the bathroom?"
"No, just see. Huo Xinzhong leaned against the door, looked at the two people inside very leisurely, and asked in a casual tone: "Do you do this business, do you have a high salary?"
"I can barely make ends meet, and the monthly rent and utility bills I have to pay every month are almost the same in my salary. The two maintenance personnel were very talkative, and answered Huo Xinzhong's questions very kindly.
Huo Xinzhong smiled and said slowly, "But I think your living conditions should be pretty good." The leather shoes you wear are still high-end. β
The movements of the two paused slightly, and one of the men laughed, "It's not good, it's just that I usually meet with some friends, and I don't want to lose face, so I just bought a pair or two of them and put them on the faΓ§ade." β
"That's right. Huo Xinzhong seemed to have lost interest in this topic, and after answering lightly, he looked at the bathroom as if he was bored. After a while, his gaze stayed on an inconspicuous corner of the bathroom, Huo Xinzhong picked up a plastic rod on the washstand, knocked on a socket on the corner, and suddenly said, "Take this apart and let me see." β
A man had stopped his movements at the moment, looking at Huo Xinzhong, he still had a kind smile on his face, but the muscles around his mouth seemed to be a little stiff, "I'm sorry, sir, this is not within our scope of service." We're just in charge of repairing the water pipes, and we're afraid we won't be able to do that. β
"Can't do it?" Huo Xinzhong smiled lazily, "How did you dismantle it before, now you will dismantle it again according to the previous method." β
