The clear blue sky and white clouds always make people feel like they want to go out and have fun, and they can't wait to feel their breath and freedom in the sun.

But this sunshine, Huo Hong is destined not to enjoy.

He was forced to lie on the bed, looking down and only vaguely seeing an esophagus in his mouth, slowly delivering liquid food, in this way to maintain his usual vital signs and energy needs.

The room was empty, and the curtains were in a state of never being opened again after they were closed, leaving Huo Hong in a state of gloomy vision for a long time.

Only the sound of the instrument ticking seems to indicate that Huo Hong is still alive now.

Listening to the footsteps outside the corridor fading away, Huo Hong closed his eyes, and the fire in his heart was now unable to move.

"......" The faint panting sound was like a broken blower.

I don't know how many weeks have passed since he last called Xu Dong.

Even the most precise concept of time can gradually lose its way in the absence of a clock day after day.

The last time he ventured to call Xu Dong, it didn't take long for him to be discovered by the housekeeper.

There was no communication tool in Huo Hong's room, and the only landline used as a decoration was used, whether it was a record or something else, it was only a matter of time before it was discovered, not to mention that Huo Yichen was then cheated by Xu Dong.

It is precisely because of this that Huo Hong recruited a housekeeper to attract a new doctor to examine him because of his actions.

"The patient's condition is slowly recovering, which is quite good, and if this trend continues, maybe he may be better if he waits a little longer." The results were very positive.

But when Huo Hong watched the housekeeper hear this, he suddenly had a premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, not long after the doctor left, Huo Hong's treatment changed.

The only landline that could contact the outside world was withdrawn, and the number of people who came to see the situation gradually increased the frequency, and the most important thing was to start using liquid food and related drugs, and began to control him softly.

In a sense, leaving aside his still active brain, Huo Hong's current situation is no different from that of a vegetative person.

Thinking that Huo Yichen was now in control of the Huo family, Huo Yichen's anger rose more than once.

I don't know what the waste is doing, and there's not a movement yet.

And that Huo Xiuyuan!

Huo Hong, who still recalls the truth about the killing of his own son, once he thinks of Huo Xiuyuan in his heart, he still can't calm his anger for a long time.

It's a pity that Huo Xiuyuan, who has now fled abroad to avoid the limelight, can't receive Huo Hong's curses on him.

Since Huo Yichen took over the Huo family at that time, Huo Xiuyuan can be said to be like a mouse, frightened and even traveled to several countries, for fear that he would be found.

Today, a dilapidated building that looks like it could collapse at any moment, standing in a slum that doesn't stand out too much, is a mix of chaos and swear words in unknown languages.

It can be said that there are all kinds of different people here, with different hair colors and skin tones, but they have a unified downfall.

Pretty, scantily clad women swayed on the side of the street, waving invitations to potential clients of their own, unstable eyes leaning against the wall, exuding restlessness.

There are even addicts in the corridors who have already gotten high.

Huo Xiuyuan pulled the hood on his head, disgusted but had to blend in with this group of people, and then quickly found his room, took out the key to open the door and walked in.

But as soon as he entered, the musty smell faintly wafting in the room greeted Huo Xiuyuan first.

Huo Xiuyuan cursed a swear word, and quickly closed the door with his hands and feet, also to isolate the eyes that were peeping outside, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

He's been months like this.

On the one hand, you have to watch out for Huo Yichen to find yourself, and on the other hand, you have to be careful of all kinds of dangers around you when you disappear abroad.

He casually threw aside the fast food he bought, took out his mobile phone and sent a text message every day.

When can I go back? 】

"This kind of life is not lived by people at all." Huo Xiuyuan muttered dissatisfiedly.

I think he used to be still in China, and when Huo Hong's adopted son stayed in the Huo family, I don't know how many times better the daily treatment was better than now.

After a few minutes, the other party replied. [At least not now.] 】

Huo Xiuyuan pursed his eyebrows irritably, and directly dialed a string of numbers that he had memorized.

Didn't pick up on the other side.

So he hit again, persevering over and over again.

It may be that the other side also realized that Huo Xiuyuan was unwilling to give up, and he was willing to rein in only when he was connected, so he finally pressed the connection on the sixth time.

"Every time I say it's not time, when will I be able to go back!" Huo Xiuyuan, who has lived outside for a few months, can be said to have a long-standing grudge, so the tone of his speech is also irritating.

There was silence for a long time.

"Speak." Huo Xiuyuan impatiently kicked the garbage bin next to him to vent his dissatisfaction. "If you don't say anything, I'll take you as a default and I'll go back and book a ticket today."

"Nope." When it comes to this, the other side directly gives a veto, and the tone is firm.

Huo Xiuyuan was not surprised by this answer.

He looked down at his feet, and the trash can that he had kicked over had already fallen to the ground, and the garbage in it was also scattered on the ground, which made Huo Xiuyuan's mood worse.

“…… Now Huo Hong doesn't know what the situation is, and Huo Yichen has recently prepared to purge the board of directors in the company. "The opposite side opens." In short, you are adding to the chaos when you come back at this time. ”

"Are you so afraid of Huo Yichen?" Huo Xiuyuan asked.

Even if he is also jealous of Huo Yichen in his heart, but now that he can't go back, he must have a place to vent his grievances.

The other side asked, "Why do you think you're staying abroad now?" ”

As soon as this question came out, neither Huo Xiuyuan nor the other side could give an answer.

“…… I'll stay for another three months at most. Huo Xiuyuan gave a deadline.

He can't be allowed to be a greedy ghost outside all his life, and Huo Xiuyuan has had enough of this kind of hiding in Tibet.

Perhaps it was the "tranquility" during this period of time that Huo Xiuyuan had begun to forget the days when he was an opponent with Huo Yichen at that time, so he spoke hard at this time, as if he was not afraid that he would go back and directly become the opponent's defeat.

He thought for a moment, "Okay, I got it." ”

This is how the phone call ended.

Huo Yichen looked at the mobile phone that had been turned into a screensaver interface again, his eyes were heavy and irritable.

I don't know which bunch of crazy people are outside the door, or addicts immersed in hallucinations are making fun, humming some tunes out of tune, every beat is not where it should be, listening to weird and infiltrating.

Three months is the minimum period.

But in such an environment, Huo Xiuyuan couldn't stay for a month, a week or even a day.

He flipped through the calendar, only to see a date that suddenly froze.

It was Huo Yichen's birthday.

Huo Xiu is far from being a wine bag and a rice bag, so on the day Huo Yichen came to the Huo family, he had already kept the other party's information in mind, which naturally included his birthday.

If you have a birthday, you have to have a surprise.
