Chapter 138: Indifference to the extreme
Qiao Ruoqing frowned, and was afraid that Huo Jingyuan would see it, so she had to pretend to be calm.
"Don't remember?" Huo Jingyuan's voice was a little lower, as if he was mixed with some loss.
"It's not surprising that I don't remember what you said, right?" happened to change the green light, and Qiao Ruoqing immediately stepped on the accelerator.
Huo Jingyuan was a little hesitant to say what he hadn't finished in the private room.
But she said that now she just wants to take revenge, and she wants to see Song Mingyuan have nothing.
So if you tell her those things at this time, will it bother her?
Moreover, she seems to like to avoid him very much, and the person who will hide for several days if she hugs her a little, her face is as thin as plastic wrap, if she tells her that at this time, will it scare her away?
Huo Jingyuan touched his face, and then turned his head to look at the reversing mirror.
The car was driving in the city, the speed was not fast, and there were street lights, so Huo Jingyuan could clearly see his face in the mirror.
Obviously, other women can't help but want to come to him and take a closer look, why is she so different, as long as she has a little intimate contact with him, she will want to avoid him?
He couldn't figure it out.
Seeing that he was almost at the apartment where he lived, Huo Jingyuan took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Qiao Ruoqing.
Qiao Ruoqing glanced at him, "What is this?" ”
"The keys to my apartment." Huo Jingyuan replied, his voice was as clean as a moderately tight string, without a little mud and water.
But Qiao Ruoqing was startled firmly, slammed on the brakes, and stopped the car against the side of the road.
She parked suddenly, Huo Jingyuan was afraid that something would happen, so he subconsciously stretched out his hand to block in front of her.
It wasn't until the car stopped and made sure they were safe and sound that Huo Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "What's wrong?" ”
Qiao Ruoqing stared at the key in Huo Jingyuan's hand, her face a little ugly.
It seemed to be frightened and not at the same time, and it seemed to be mixed with something else.
At this moment, the air seemed to freeze.
Finally, Qiao Ruoqing moved her gaze to Huo Jingyuan's face with difficulty, just in time to see the man looking at her with a puzzled expression.
Scold! What does he mean by putting on this expression now?
Afraid that she would not be able to control her emotions, Qiao Ruoqing's hand clenched the steering wheel hard, forcing herself to calm down, and then asked, "What are you giving me the key to the apartment?" ”
Huo Jingyuan looked at her with a calm look in his eyes, "Of course, it's to make it easier for you to get in and out." ”
Qiao Ruoqing was even more strange.
Why am I going in and out of you? What the hell are you trying to do?
She took a deep breath and barely controlled her emotions, "Brother Huo, we're just friends, so ......"
"I'm going on a business trip tomorrow." Huo Jingyuan interrupted Qiao Ruoqing's words, and his voice was low and faint.
It was quiet, and his voice sounded especially clear.
Qiao Ruoqing looked at him, "I know, you just said it when you were in the private room." ”
"Hmm." Huo Jingyuan nodded, "The business trip will be a bit long, and it may take half a month." ”
Qiao Ruoqing frowned, "So what?" ”
"So, my little guy at home, I want you to take care of it for me." Huo Jingyuan spoke up.
Qiao Ruoqing was stunned.
Bub? What little guy?
Could it be that Huo Jingyuan has any pets in the apartment?
But she'd been there a few times, and she hadn't seen anything other than him.
Oh, if she had to say it, she saw Wu Shan there once, but only once.
So what exactly is the little one that needs her to take care of?
Huo Jingyuan waited for a while, but he didn't wait for Qiao Ruoqing's answer, he sighed, as if he was very distressed, "Actually, I can ask my mother to come over, but my mother is old and the weather is cold, so my father doesn't agree." ”
"That's for sure." Qiao Ruoqing naturally took over the words, "Uncle and aunt's relationship is so good, uncle must be very distressed about Aunt Tang, and you, as a son, should also be considerate." ”
Huo Jingyuan also agreed, and then when he spoke, his voice was lower, "But if no one takes care of them, they will die." ”
Qiao Ruoqing's eyebrows furrowed again.
Huo Jingyuan seemed a little sad.
So, what are those little ones that make his heart and mind?
"Brother Huo......"
"If you don't want to, let them die." The man, who was still very melancholy just now, suddenly became indifferent at this moment.
He turned his head to look out the window, his eyes were not emotional, like ice that was extremely cold, "Anyway, I don't really care about those things." ”
I don't know why, Qiao Ruoqing suddenly felt as if she had been pricked hard by a needle in her heart.
She didn't know what those things were, but since Huo Jingyuan had already brought them home, she should take good care of them.
How can they be left to fend for themselves?
"Why bring them back if you don't care?" Qiao Ruoqing angrily took the key from Huo Jingyuan's hand and started the car again, "I'll just go, they won't die so easily, I'll let you see them boring!" Whatever the hell that is! "No. 3 Chinese Network
The car drove out less than a hundred meters, Qiao Ruoqing felt that she seemed to be a little suspicious of talking big just now, and glanced at Huo Jingyuan, she asked timidly: "But, what is that?" Do you have a cat? Or do you have a dog? ”
Huo Jingyuan rested his elbows on the car window and looked at her meaninglessly, "Wasn't it righteous and awe-inspiring just now?" Scared now? ”
Without waiting for Qiao Ruoqing to answer, he continued: "Don't worry, it's not something terrible. We'll find out when you get over tomorrow. ”
Then he turned his head and began to look at the road ahead, and seemed to be in a good mood.
I don't know why, Qiao Ruoqing always felt that Huo Jingyuan seemed weird like this.
What the hell was he thinking? And the things he raised......
……
Standing at the door of Huo Jingyuan's apartment, Qiao Ruoqing held the key in her hand and hesitated.
She's been standing here for more than ten minutes.
Before getting off work, she received a message from Huo Jingyuan, asking her not to forget to come over and help him take care of those cute little things.
Qiao Ruoqing felt a little frightened.
She had never heard Huo Jingyuan use the adjective "cute".
But today, he actually said it.
A man who is extremely indifferent suddenly says such words, which is really scary, and makes her almost doubt her life.
And she had the impression that he had a dog before.
So this time, he shouldn't have another dog at home, right?
But if he has a dog, can't he take the dog back to Huo's house before he goes out? Or send it to a pet store, why do you have to look for her?
She...... You can't touch cats and dogs......
Forget it, I'm here, just standing at the door and not going in, no matter how I look at it, I feel like a fool.
If Huo Jingyuan really has a dog at home, then she can call the pet store, anyway, she doesn't want to help take care of it.
After deciding in her heart, Qiao Ruoqing inserted the key into the lock hole and turned it around.
The door opened quickly.
As soon as she entered the door, she hadn't even changed her shoes, and Qiao Ruoqing was stunned.
On the shelf in the entrance, a pot of hydroponic Phnom Penh orchid grows just right, and the golden yellow layer on the edge looks very soft.
The living room was clean and neat, no cats or dogs.
It turns out that there are rows of small potted plants on the empty windowsill, which look vibrant and very cute.
Could it be that the little things that Huo Jingyuan said that she asked her to come over to take care of refer to these potted plants?
When did he raise so many potted plants?
Qiao Ruoqing was pleasantly surprised, changed her shoes and entered the living room.
In the middle of the coffee table is a pot of dwarf fortune trees, with dark green leaves in clusters, full of vitality.
She took a closer look, and there was no change in her impression except for the small plants.
I suddenly remembered that last time she had suggested to Huo Jingyuan that he should raise some plants at home, he would look a little angry and not so dull.
In fact, she just said casually at the time, because she likes these potted plants with vitality, so she mentioned it.
Unexpectedly, Huo Jingyuan listened to her words, and really bought so many potted plants to put at home.
No wonder she has to take care of it, the apartment is equipped with floor heating, the air is relatively dry, and the windows are not opened, if no one takes care of them, when Huo Jingyuan goes out for ten days and half a month and comes back, they will be half dead even if they are not dead.
Walking around the living room, Qiao Ruoqing took a small watering can and watered the small potted plants with a cheerful tune humming in her mouth.
As soon as she was halfway watered, her phone rang, and she took the small kettle in one hand and took it out of her pocket with the other.
Seeing the caller ID, Qiao Ruoqing suddenly felt angry, and picked up the phone, "What are you doing?" ”
Her tone wasn't very good, and there was even a slight hint of anger.
But it sounds, the man seems to be in a good mood, "So angry? ”
Qiao Ruoqing sat on the sofa, "Why don't you tell me that you have so many potted plants?" I didn't make it clear to me last night, I thought you had a cat or a dog, and it scared me! ”
"Ahh Huo Jingyuan replied procrastinatingly, "Have you stood at the door for a long time and didn't dare to go in?" ”
Qiao Ruoqing wondered if the man had installed a camera at the door.
Otherwise, how could you even know this?
However, it was a bit embarrassing to say that incident, and she didn't want to admit it, so she quickly replied: "No, don't talk nonsense!" I'm not afraid of those things......"
"Really?" Huo Jingyuan's voice was faint, "When I'm not there, you help me take care of them, and none of them are allowed to die." ”
Qiao Ruoqing looked back.
The small plants on the windowsill were neatly arranged one by one, and the distance between each pot was about the same, so Huo Jingyuan had specially measured it with a ruler.
This man is really turtle hair, Qiao Ruoqing thought.
It's a pity that it's night, so those plants don't look very beautiful, and if the sun is out during the day, it will definitely look different.
The soft sunlight shines on it, and the small plants are sunbathing and photosynthesizing happily, which makes it very comfortable to think about.
She kicked off her slippers, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and said confidently: "Don't worry, none of them will die, I will take good care of them." ”
