Chapter 25: Obsession
Sister-in-law Huang smiled: "No problem! ”
Is it true that all rich people are like this? If you can't get used to eating crabs on the market, you can make a crab pond by yourself? I heard that Miss Wei's own vegetables are very popular, or is it that people in the city grow vegetables very differently from others?
After dinner, Sister-in-law Huang cleaned up the kitchen and left. Although she is not a live-in nanny, Sylvia gave her another subsidy, and Huang's sister-in-law rented a house nearby, which is not far away, she just needs to get up early in the morning.
As for Huo Yuhuai, he occupies Sylvia's study, and now he spends most of his time working here. He didn't shy away from Sylvia if he had anything to say, after all, Sylvia had more secrets than he did.
It's just that Huo Yuhuai usually doesn't ask anything, and sometimes helps her get around, compared to Sylvia, there is no doubt that Huo Yuhuai knows more about the world and can do more dime.
Now it was Huo Yuhuai sitting behind the desk, while Sylvia was on the sofa, and Snowball was resting on the armrest of the sofa, looking around from time to time to make sure Sylvia was still by his side.
The gold and briquettes were lying on the floor of the study like two hummed generals, and the two of them slept very peacefully.
Huo Yuhuai wore flat glasses and occasionally looked up at this scene. Strange to say, he is a person with a strong sense of boundaries and does not like to deal with strangers too much.
Usually he doesn't like others to enter and leave his territory at will, but after meeting Sylvia, he feels that Sylvia is undoubtedly more alone than himself.
But he felt that Sylvia was very close, but he was in the same room with Sylvia, and he felt extremely peaceful in his heart. can stalk until he enters the house, Huo Yuhuai is very satisfied with the current state.
He also doesn't want to change the current state, friends can be lifelong friends, but lovers are not. If it was possible for him and Sylvia in the future, maybe he wouldn't reject it, but for now, he was happy with the current state.
Of course, he could see that Sylvia didn't mean much to him, and she looked at anyone with a very cold look, as if she had no worldly desires at all.
"That's not right, I also have worldly desires." Sylvia suddenly spoke, Huo Yuhuai was stunned, he just said these words?
"What do you like? I see your life is ...... Bitter. After hesitating, Huo Yuhuai still said the word bitterness, although he felt that it was a little inappropriate.
"You see girls who are about the same age as you, everyone basically has little sisters who gather together to eat and drink tea, and go in and out of various high-end places. No matter how bad it is, we still make an appointment to go shopping and exercise together on weekends, and of course it is essential to fall in love. ”
Sylvia propped her head: "I don't like that there are too many people in my life, what you said is too noisy after all." Shopping? Clothes are comfortable enough to wear, and I don't pursue those so-called luxuries, I don't think it's worth it. ”
"As for eating, I never eat out. If I exercise, going out for a walk every day is already my last stubbornness. And when it comes to falling in love," Sylvia spread her hands: "Wise people don't fall in love, and eighty percent of the world's troubles are caused by love." ”
"If you don't fall in love, you can't live comfortably, and when you fall in love, all kinds of troubles will come up. I'm not comfortable enough to live a good life, and I want to make trouble for myself. ”
"Don't talk about me, aren't you also in love? You're twenty-eight. ”
Huo Yuhuai glanced at Sylvia strangely: "How do you know that I'm not in love?" ”
Sylvia smiled: "I naturally have my own channels, in fact, I can live a very easy life by myself." It's very comfortable to be able to live alone, why pursue the life of two people? ”
"Sometimes, love is not so beautiful, it seems more like an exchange of interests. For example, money and beauty, or power and status, etc., take off this coat, but in fact, it is a mess inside. ”
Huo Yuhuai shook his head: "Listen, you seem to have seen a lot." ”
Sylvia: "I've seen a lot, and of course I've seen a lot of old couples. It's just that this probability is too small after all, and many times everyone lives like this for the rest of their lives, but it's just because the temptation they encounter is not big enough. ”
"A person lives freely, he can go wherever he wants, just like the wind of freedom, no one can restrain me. As for worldly hobbies, I actually like jewelry, beautiful clothes, but I can satisfy them myself, and I really don't need a man to put the icing on the cake for me. ”
Huo Yuhuai smiled: "Just looking at you like this, I can't tell that you like gorgeous clothes." ”
He playfully glanced at Sylvia's one-piece pajamas, the tender yellow duckling, but there was no body curve at all. At this time, she looks like a very ordinary little girl, how can she have all kinds of noble and beautiful during the day?
Sylvia doesn't care: "How comfortable is it at home, if you still dress like a catwalk at home, you are not free enough, be a person, do whatever you want." ”
The discussion about Sylvia's hobbies came to an end, and Huo Yuhuai didn't say much later. Seeing that it was half past nine, and it was time for Sylvia to sleep, Huo Yuhuai picked up the notebook on the table: "I'll go back first." ”
Sylvia glanced at him, "Go back to work?" It seems that the boss is not so easy to be a person either. Your face has not looked very good in the past two days, and you have been staying up so much because you are young, and you will have to suffer in the future. ”
Huo Yuhuai: "There are indeed a lot of things at hand recently, don't I want to cut off with the Huo family?" There are many things to consider. Besides, the group of people in the Huo family is not so easy to deal with, they have basically been raised and abandoned over the years. ”
Sylvia: "I'm so worried about it at a young age, but how can I get it?" ”
Huo Yuhuai shrugged: "You are still six years younger than me." ”
Sylvia raised a finger: "I said it a long time ago, I ......"
"I know, you are older than my ancestors, ancestors, I went back first, and I don't know where the problem came from, and when I open my mouth, I am older than my ancestors." Muttering, Huo Yuhuai left Sylvia's house.
Sylvia twisted her eyebrows and said I am not exaggerating at all, at Huo Yuhuai's current age, he takes advantage of her great-grandson.
Huo Zhiguo's verdict came down quickly, the evidence was conclusive, and Huo Zhiguo did not deny what he had done after he entered, and he confessed everything.
Naturally, this matter could not be hidden from others, and the Huo family soon became famous. As for the Wan family at this time, how proud they were at the beginning, how humiliating they were at this time.
Sylvia also heard Huo Yuhuai talk about gossip, saying that Wan Yao was crying and shouting to get out of the marriage. It's just that Wanfu didn't agree, as soon as Huo Zhiguo had an accident, he was eager to withdraw from the marriage, and the reputation of the Wan family was not good.
Besides, Huo Yuhuai wants to split up, and now the Huo family is Huo Yuhuai and Huo Yuzhou, the Huo family has such a big family business, how can Huo Yuhuai have to be fair on the surface, isn't it?
If Huo Yuzhou and Wan Yao's marriage contract continues, will he be able to swallow up the Huo family logically? As for those fames or something, after a long time, who will remember them?
Everyone will only see how beautiful they are, and as for the things behind the scenes, everyone will selectively forget.
"It's all black, tsk!" Looking in the mirror in a black dress, Sylvia pouted. Respect for the deceased, she knows. It's just that she really doesn't like black.
When she came down, Huo Yuhuai was already waiting downstairs. Huo Zhiguo's execution has come down, and now the funeral has been held, but Huo Yuhuai has never shown up from beginning to end.
And this funeral was also very small, after all, Huo Zhiguo's actions were extremely disgraceful, and few people came to mourn and participate.
Today, Huo Yuhuai came to find Sylvia, just because he wanted Sylvia to accompany him and tell his parents the news, so as to comfort his parents' spirits in the sky.
"My grandfather used to bring me to pay respects to them when I was an adult, and then after my grandfather died, I came here more often. I used to be able to tell my grandfather anything, but now I can only come and tell them. ”
Holding the steering wheel, Huo Yuhuai's eyes were extremely sad. Even if Huo Zhiguo gets the end he deserves, the deceased people really can't come back, and the people left behind are only endless pain.
Sylvia propped her head: "It's all going to pass." ”
Of course, she understood this feeling, and overnight, she seemed to feel like a rootless duckweed, only able to flow with the water, and there seemed to be no fetters at all.
She won't comfort Huo Yuhuai otherwise, this is his own life, life, that's it, how can it be smooth sailing?
At the cemetery, after saying hello to the doorman, Sylvia got out of the car with a bouquet of roses in her arms.
Huo Yuhuai was surprised: "You also prepared flowers?" ”
Sylvia: "As you mentioned before, your mother loves roses. This is what Sister-in-law Huang went to the flower room to cut in the morning, I hope she will like it. ”
Huo Yuhuai chuckled: "She will definitely like it, I remember when I was young, my father also planted a garden of roses for my mother, because my mother likes roses." ”
"It's just that after they had an accident, Grandpa touched the scene and plucked all these roses. There are only shrubs and lawns in the garden, and that used to be a good memory for me. My mom sometimes takes me with her to water the roses and prune them......"
Speaking of his past memories, Huo Yuhuai's voice was low. If his parents were still alive and well, where would he be as lonely as he is now?
Sylvia walked beside him with the rose in her arms, and at this time she just had to listen quietly, of course, she was really not good at comforting people, and she didn't look like she would comfort people.
"There are a lot of roses in the flower room, if you like it, cut some and go back to cuttings, after a long time, the rose garden in your heart will come back." After thinking about it, Sylvia said this.
Huo Yuhuai smiled, "No, even if my garden is full of roses, it is not the rose garden it used to be, and what is lost will really never come back." ”
"I'm already satisfied that you can let me visit your flower room more."
Sylvia shrugged: "Whatever you want, as long as you're not afraid of dreams." ”
Huo Yuhuai paused: "With you, I am naturally not afraid." When I come, I usually come here when I'm in a bad mood. ”
He squatted down and carefully wiped the tombstone, his eyes were very gentle. While wiping the tombstone, he whispered about his recent situation. What has he done these days, and what kind of fate Huo Zhiguo has fallen into, Huo Yuhuai said it all clearly.
Sylvia placed the bouquet in front of the tombstone and looked at the woman in her prime on the tombstone, a trace of regret crossed her eyes. He was too young, only in his thirties, and he has been sleeping underground ever since.
When Huo Yuhuai was thinking about it, Sylvia's hand in her sleeve tentatively pinched a few tricks. It's just that to her surprise, she actually felt the breath of the undead here.
Later, Sylvia was able to figure out that this was a cemetery, and it should not be surprising that she could feel this. Just looking at the two faint phantoms in front of her, Sylvia had a headache.
She didn't expect that after so many years, Huo Yuhuai's parents Huo Zhiqi and Lu Wen still had a trace of obsession here. Now listening to Huo Yuhuai's chatter, a faint smile appeared on both of their faces.
They looked at Huo Yuhuai's eyes very reluctantly, but no matter how reluctant they were, there was no way, and now that the obsession was gone, they really disappeared from this world completely.
Seeing that the figures of the two gradually faded, and Huo Yuhuai still didn't know anything about his experience these days, Sylvia sighed, and finally couldn't bear it.
I didn't see any big moves from her, and the souls of Huo Zhiqi and Lu Wen, who were about to dissipate, stopped collapsing. The two souls looked at Sylvia in a daze, not understanding what she wanted to do.
Sylvia whispered, "Death is already an irrevocable ending, don't you want to say goodbye?" ”
This can be regarded as her tenderness to Huo Yuhuai, after all, this little cub looks really pitiful. Now he looks like a homeless puppy.
Her voice was very soft, Huo Yuhuai naturally didn't hear it, he was immersed in his emotions at this moment, and his perception of the outside world was almost zero.
Seeing that Huo Yuhuai was still talking to his parents, Sylvia simply walked to the other side. She didn't have the intention of listening to Huo Yuhuai say those known things, it was rare to come to the cemetery, she was really curious about this place.
After all, as a necromancer, I have always dealt with all kinds of undead for so many years. Now that she hadn't touched her old business for nearly a year, Sylvia did have some itchy hands.
It's just that in this world, she can't use elemental power, so what she can do is very limited. At most, it is to find traces of the undead and communicate with them.
Just walked around the cemetery, Sylvia found that there were really too few obsessions left, maybe not everyone was like Huo Zhiqi and his wife, not like they had suffered so much? Don't you have as many worries as they do?
