Chapter 40: Dirty Alley
There is an alley in the eastern part of the city of S.
Unlike the prosperous city of S, it is full of dirty deals, and drug use, prostitution, and brawls are almost the norm.
If S City is glamorous, then this is the shadow of S City, and almost all of the dark side of S City is reflected here.
Here, there is no police, no law, only force can be relied on.
Because of this notoriety, it is nicknamed "Dirty Alley" by the people of S City, and almost everyone in S City who wants to live a good life will not set foot here, not even passing by.
In the only tall building in the depths of the dirty alley, unlike the outside, it was beautifully furnished, with a retro room design, a clean, fluffy carpet on the brown floor, and not even a speck of dust in the corners, on the counter.
It's like a paradise in a dirty alley.
"You mean Huo Yao isn't dead yet?"
In the center of the living room, on the leather sofa, the man's legs are folded leisurely, and the fingertips are smoky.
He combed his hair neatly, the smooth wax reflected in the light, and the elegant suit accompanied the shiny black leather shoes, showing a bit of grace and luxury.
The person standing across from him looked much more depressed, with his head bowed, his half-new white T covered with dust, and he looked like a member of a dirty alley.
"Mr. Huo, I'm sorry. ”
Mr. Huo smiled, stood up, and walked slowly in front of the man.
The man looked terrified, and every time Mr. Huo took a step, he trembled.
"Excuse me, do you think that's what I want to hear?" he shook his shoulders and smiled, his narrow eyes flashing a hint of fierceness, and the movements of his hands were decisive and neat.
"Ahh
I saw a half-burned cigarette butt stuck to his arm, and the flame that had not yet been extinguished scorched his skin, emitting a smell of burnt meat.
Mr. Huo closed his eyes, and his face showed a look of enjoyment.
"This time Huo Yao's fate is big, but I believe he won't be so lucky every time. Did you come into contact with that woman?"
The man shook his head bitterly and said, "Huo Yao keeps a close eye on her, and we have no chance to get close at all." ”
Mr. Huo sneered, "Useless things." He paced a few steps, then turned back again, "And find the woman surnamed Ye again, and say that I have a big gift for her." ”
Just as there are several lives a day in a dirty alley, this incident did not make any waves, and the sky outside the dirty alley was still blue.
Central Hospital, VIP Ward.
"Still not sleeping?" Huo Yao turned over, propped up his side face with one hand, and looked at An Xiaojing who was sitting at the table and writing hard.
In order to take care of him conveniently, Huo Yao specially ordered someone to prepare a bed for An Xiaojing in the ward.
That is, they have spent almost all this time together in the same room.
"Wait until I'm done with this detail. An Xiaojing said without looking back, and after returning from the afternoon, she asked for some paper and pencil and began to focus on designing jewelry.
This design was designed late into the night.
Even for dinner, An Xiaojing was absent-minded and didn't eat a few bites.
"If you think it's too bright, I'll just go outside and draw it. ”
Probably sensing Huo Yao's dislike, An Xiaojing hurriedly suggested.
As soon as she finished speaking, she hurriedly sorted out her belongings, hugged them in her arms, and really wanted to run outside.
Huo Yao saw An Xiaojing about to run out of the room, frowned, finally got up and walked over quickly, held her hand one step ahead of her, and said unhappily: "What are you doing running out at night?"
An Xiaojing turned her head uneasily and said, "I just don't want to disturb you." ”
Huo Yao and An Xiaojing looked at each other for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly, took her hand and walked back, and said, "Forget it, for the sake of you working hard in my company, I will indulge you this time." ”
When he pushed An Xiaojing back into the chair, he moved a chair again and sat next to An Xiaojing.
"What are you doing here?" An Xiaojing asked with a twisted eyebrow, not understanding Huo Yao's intentions.
"As a boss, after seeing the employees working so hard for me, can't I sit next to you and treat myself?"
An Xiaojing was almost speechless, how scoundrel this man would be to say such a thing.
But since Huo Yao said so, she directly lowered her head and continued to design with peace of mind.
An Xiaojing turned her face sideways, the white light of the table lamp reflected on her face, making her skin as white as jade, and her long eyelashes blinking and blinking, showing a little cute and cute.
It is said that serious men are the most handsome, but Huo Yao looked at An Xiaojing, and felt more and more that serious women also have great charm.
An Xiaojing's hand held a pencil, the tip of the pen trembled slightly, depicting one delicate detail after another, and a small but full of summer enthusiasm ring jumped on the paper.
After a while, she seemed to have hit a bottleneck, holding a pencil into a fist with one hand, supporting her chin, her white teeth biting her pink lips, her face full of tangles.
The clock ticked, enveloping the room in a silent silence.
An Xiaojing has always maintained her original posture, her eyes full of confusion.
"An Xiaojing, why did you want to enter NE in the first place?" Huo Yao suddenly asked out loud.
An Xiaojing seemed to be taken aback, and hurriedly patted her chest before turning her head to look at Huo Yao.
Huo Yao was very close to her, and when she turned her head, her face was almost attached to Huo Yao's face.
Looking at each other, Huo Yao could almost feel the breeze from her long eyelashes.
"Because I love jewelry. When I was a kid, I used to see jewelry in the window and thought it was the most beautiful thing in the world. Later, I wanted to design something that makes people feel good and brings joy to others. An Xiaojing recalled her original intention, and her face couldn't help but show a touch of joy.
Huo Yao had never seen such a look on An Xiaojing's face, full of hope, and seemed to be able to dispel all the haze around him.
"I decided almost in a second that I wanted to be a jewelry designer. ”
"It's the same as recognizing Dangdang as a daughter?" Huo Yao asked rhetorically.
An Xiaojing was stunned for a moment, her eyes shrank slightly, and she dodged: "Why did you talk about Dangdang again?" But speaking of which, I haven't seen Dangdang for a long time, I don't know if she misses me?"
Huo Yao's eyes flickered slightly, and he promised: "Don't worry, you will be able to meet Dangdang soon." ”
He had been in the hospital for a long time, and it was time for him to appear in Huo Guopeng's sight.
He can't let Huo Guopeng play a one-man show alone.
