Chapter 8: Trying to Escape
Back in the villa in Huochiguan, Lin Yuxue's mood has been low, and all she recalls in her mind is the picture of playing and laughing with her mother when she was a child. Having lost the love of her parents, even if there is a Huo Chiguan who is sometimes very good to her now, she herself knows that Huo Chiguan may just treat her as a plaything. Since it's just a plaything, someone as powerful as Huo Chiguan will also discard her one day.
The more Lin Yuxue thought about it, the more sad she felt, curled up in the corner of the sofa in the room, thinking about the happiness of the past and the grievances and pains she had suffered during this time, and couldn't help but cry again.
As the sun went down, the room darkened. Lin Yuxue cried and cried, and fell asleep groggy.
Huo Chiguan had just returned to the office from the inspection of other subsidiaries, and then there was a transoceanic video conference to participate, thinking that he hadn't seen the little white rabbit at home for almost a whole day, he couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and dial Lin Yuxue's number.
After calling twice in a row, Lin Yuxue's mobile phone was not answered, Huo Chiguan looked at the mobile phone and frowned.
"Huo Shao, the video conference starts at half past seven, and the conference room is ready." The secretary knocked on the door and came in to report on the preparations for the meeting.
At this moment, Huo Chiguan's mobile phone rang, and Huo Chiguan picked it up without looking at it:
"Do you dare not listen to my calls now?"
But on the other end of the phone, it was not Lin Yuxue's voice:
"Huo Shao, it's me, Miss Lin is in a bad mood today, she seems to be crying on the way back, and now she hasn't come out of the room, you see..."
Huo Chiguan subconsciously put his mobile phone in front of him, only to find that it was not Lin Yuxue who called, but the bodyguard he sent to Lin Yuxue today.
"What happened today?" Hearing that the little white rabbit was crying, Huo Chiguan stood up and walked out, and said to the secretary, "The meeting is canceled." β
Huo Chiguan returned to the villa and went straight upstairs, and when he heard the maid say that Lin Yuxue hadn't eaten dinner yet, his brows furrowed even tighter.
"Bring dinner."
The servant answered respectfully and went downstairs, Huo Chiguan glanced at the closed door of Lin Yuxue's room, paused, and knocked on the door.
After waiting for a while, Lin Yuxue didn't come to open the door, Huo Chiguan's heart lifted slightly, and he hesitated for a moment before pushing the door open.
The time was close to eight o'clock, and the lights were not turned on in the room, but Huo Chiguan still saw Lin Yuxue curled up on the sofa in a dim room at a glance. Her petite nest there touched Huo Chiguan's heart in an instant, making him feel the urge to take her into his arms.
And Huo Chiguan did exactly that.
Turning on the floor lamp next to the sofa, Huo Chiguan hugged Lin Yuxue and looked at Lin Yuxue quietly with the warm yellow light.
Her eyes seemed to be swollen, and there was a shallow tear stain on her little face, which was indeed crying.
Feeling that there was movement around her, Lin Yuxue opened her eyes in confusion, her sleepy eyes were still dazed, and her eyes gradually became clear the moment she touched Huo Chiguan.
"Huo Chiguan?"
Finding that she was being held by Huo Chiguan, the posture of the two of them was also very ambiguous, Lin Yuxue was busy trying to sit up, but Huo Chiguan's arms were tightly clamped and she couldn't move.
"Why are you crying today?" Huo Chiguan stared at Lin Yuxue's eyes and found that her eyes were more swollen than he thought just now, and it was not an exaggeration to describe them as swollen into peaches.
Lin Yuxue lowered her head, her eyes wandered on the carpet in front of the sofa, and she subconsciously didn't want Huo Chiguan to know that she had met Wei Fengwen again today.
Not to mention other people, even she herself didn't know why she was blind in the first place, and she actually thought that Wei Fengwen was a good boyfriend.
Lin Yuxue bit her lip and replied softly: "I went back to my mother's house today, I miss her, and now she is much better." β
Lin Yuxue encountered something along the way today, the bodyguard had already told Huo Chiguan one by one, he naturally knew that Lin Yuxue met Wei Feng again today, but whether she was crying because of Wei Feng's question, he didn't know.
Now that I heard Lin Yuxue say that the reason why she was crying was not because Wei Feng asked, whether it was true or not, Huo Chi was inexplicably relieved in his concern.
Wei Feng asked the kid, I really don't know what's good, it's actually the ex-boyfriend of this little white rabbit, every time he thinks about it, he feels depressed.
"The servant said, you haven't had dinner yet?" Huo Chiguan stretched out his hand and stroked Lin Yuxue's stomach, Lin Yuxue was startled, but she didn't dodge, her face suddenly turned red like a ripe apple, and her body suddenly stiffened.
Huo Chiguan enjoyed Lin Yuxue's reaction like a frightened rabbit, the corners of his mouth rose almost imperceptibly, and his eyes were dyed with a touch of playfulness.
"Huo Chiguan, you... Let me go first. Lin Yuxue lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Huo Chiguan, her heartbeat was terrifyingly fast.
Huo Chiguan stretched out his hand and raised Lin Yuxue's head, his eyes stared directly at Lin Yuxue's face, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Just when Lin Yuxue couldn't hold it anymore and wanted to forcibly escape, Huo Chiguan suddenly spoke: "My eyes are swollen into walnuts, how long have you been crying?" β
ββ¦ I didn't know either, I cried and cried and fell asleep. Huo Chiguan asked, Lin Yuxue felt the soreness of her eyes, now she must look ugly.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuxue couldn't help but want to lower her head, but Huo Chiguan's hand was still holding her chin, and in desperation, she had to raise her hands to cover her face.
Lin Yuxue's funny and pitiful appearance made Huo Chiguan laugh, and ordered someone to bring an ice towel and put it on Lin Yuxue's eyes.
The towel wrapped in ice cubes was cold and cold on her eyes, relieving the feeling of soreness, Lin Yuxue felt very comfortable, and her stiff body gradually relaxed, which made her temporarily forget the embarrassment and discomfort of being in Huo Chi's care at this time.
Feeling that Lin Yuxue was gradually relaxing, Huo Chiguan was also in a good mood, and slowly adjusted his posture, so that Lin Yuxue's whole person was completely encircled in his arms, and his head rested on his chest.
"Are you hungry?"
Lin Yuxue felt the tiredness of her eyes gradually ease, and suddenly heard Huo Chiguan's voice sounding from above her head, opened her eyes suddenly, and took away Huo Chiguan's hand holding the ice towel, only to find that the posture between the two had changed again.
"Huo Chiguan, you let go of me, and someone will see it later!" Lin Yuxue said nervously and angrily, and she lowered her voice for fear that the voice would be too loud and would be heard by the maids.
Even if she lives in Huo Chiguan's house now, she doesn't want others to see her and Huo Chiguan so close.
Huo Chiguan chuckled: "How do you think these ice towels and dinner appeared here?" β
The implication is that the maid has already come up, and what Lin Yuxue doesn't want to be seen has already been seen by the maid.
Hearing this, Lin Yuxue was ashamed and annoyed, and began to struggle, but Huo Chiguan's arm was tightly wrapped around her waist, making it difficult for her to move.
Lin Yuxue continued to struggle unconvinced, and her hands vigorously tried to push Huo Chiguan away, but Huo Chiguan's arm was as powerful as a mechanical arm, hugging her tightly, but it didn't make it difficult for her to breathe. It's just that Lin Yuxue still feels that if she stays like this, even if she doesn't suffocate physically, she will be psychologically suffocated.
"Huo Chi shut you..."
Lin Yuxue was in a hurry, but Huo Chiguan suddenly let go of her and stood up, her face slightly unnatural.
"Dinner is here, you eat first, I'll go first."
The person who was still dead and unwilling to let go suddenly said that he was leaving, although Lin Yuxue felt suspicious, but he wished that he would no longer stare at him, and hurriedly said: "Okay, if you have something, get busy first!" β
How could Huo Chiguan not hear Lin Yuxue's intention to let him go, turned his head sideways, and looked at her deeply. Before Lin Yuxue lowered her head again due to embarrassment, she suddenly turned around and strode out and left the room.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Lin Yuxue always felt that Huo Chiguan seemed to be a little too eager to leave, and even had a... The feeling of being left in the desert.
When this idea came to mind, Lin Yuxue immediately denied this unreliable idea. That's the famous Huochi Pass, how can it be associated with the word "deserted and fleeing"?
Yu Guang inadvertently swept the dinner on the small table next to her, Lin Yuxue felt that she was really hungry, reached out and took the dinner, lowered her head and ate.
After finishing dinner, Lin Yuxue went downstairs with a dinner plate and found Huo Chiguan sitting at the dining table, bowing his head and typing something quickly on the computer.
To Lin Yuxue's surprise, Huo Chiguan had actually taken a bath, and his hair was still wet.
Did he leave so anxiously just now because of something at work? But if you're in a hurry to work, why do you go to take a shower first?
Lin Yuxue walked to the kitchen with a dinner plate, thinking back to the scene where Huo Chiguan left just now. Thinking of the way Huo Chiguan suddenly stood up after he kept struggling in his arms, it seemed that he suddenly understood something.
Lin Yuxue's face turned red suddenly, and she hurriedly washed the dinner plate and rushed back to the room, not even greeting him when she passed by Huo Chiguan.
It's so embarrassing! She never went near Huo Chiguan again!
Early the next morning, Lin Yuxue hesitated for a long time before opening the door, and looked downstairs with her probe, for fear of encountering Huo Chiguan again.
In the middle of the day, if you blush, it looks much more obvious than at night.
When she arrived downstairs, seeing that Huo Chiguan was not there, Lin Yuxue couldn't help but ask the maid. Hearing that Huo Chiguan was on a business trip, Lin Yuxue remembered that Huo Chiguan had mentioned to her about going on a business trip, but she didn't realize that it was today.
Today is also the date of the start of military training in their grade, and they should not see each other for the next week.
Lin Yuxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it was good that it could buffer the embarrassment between them.
When they arrived at the school, according to the arrangements that had been made before, Lin Yuxue and her classmates went to the corresponding position in the playground to participate in military training. Maybe it was because she had been standing with Huo Chiguan a lot during this time, and Lin Yuxue didn't feel too tired.
But soon, she felt tired.
During the break, Lin Yuxue sat in place and fanned the wind with her hat, but saw Lin Shanyan and Wei Fengwen walking towards her.
"Sister, are you hot?" Lin Shanyan stood still in front of Lin Yuxue and shook the cold drink in his hand proudly.
Lin Yuxue didn't raise her eyelids, she only felt that Lin Shanyan and the others were really naΓ―ve.
"Sister, didn't you bring water? It's a pity that Feng Wen only bought me water, and I knew to bring you a bottle! Lin Shanyan knew that the people around him were paying attention to them, so he raised his voice, intending to show affection. Even if Lin Yuxue is the school flower, it's not that she lost to her Lin Shanyan!
Lin Yuxue stood up, her gaze swept over the two of them coldly, and then turned around and left without looking back.
Looking at the back of Lin Yuxue leaving, Lin Shanyan's eyes were full of pride, and he even raised his chin proudly.
Wei Fengwen, who was standing on the side, was completely different, reluctantly watching Lin Yuxue go farther and farther, and when his gaze was withdrawn, he looked at Lin Shanyan again, and a trace of disgust and impatience flashed in his eyes.
