Chapter Twenty-Six, Peeling Oranges
Xuan Ji looked at the man from near to far, and had to admit that he was really a good-looking person. The nobility between the eyebrows is like the majesty of an emperor. She couldn't help but compare him with Emperor Wen, and was surprised to find that their bearings were somewhat similar.
is not similar in appearance, but innate bearing and demeanor, and the righteousness between the eyebrows and eyes is better than thousands of gold and silver. Such a man belongs to the world. Even if there is love, it will not be alone. She is not delusional, nor is she going to repeat the mistakes of the past.
"I've been waiting." Huo Jiyun apologized as soon as he got in the car.
"No, I've just arrived." Xuan Jixi hurriedly retracted his gaze.
"Let's go." A deep, deep baritone reverberates through the car. Xuan Zhenxi took a deep breath, although politely distant from each other. But she still feels oppressed. Huo Jiyun looked at her calm and gentle side face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a smile.
He didn't think that what he said during the day was out of his head. I just don't want to waste time. If you like it, you have to say it, and if you have a goal, you have to preemptively strike. This is his usual style. For Xuan Zhen, he is bound to win.
Speechless all the way in the car, Sen Sen turned on the audio, and melodious pure music played inside. They are all well-known international pieces.
"Do you like music?" According to the data, she is a talented woman who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
"It's okay."
"What do you do in addition to being in a welfare home? Or what do you like? ”
Since you want to get her, you have to know her preferences.
"I don't have any other hobbies, I just read a lot, and I read books in the library in my spare time." She is still very busy and cherishes her time.
Most of the children need company, and she doesn't have time to learn much, skills and the like were all learned by the deity when she was a child, and she also came here with some skills and knowledge from her previous life. Looking back, it's been a long time since I've played the piano or composed and sung poetry.
The car soon arrived at the destination, the Huo family villa. Xuan Ji Xi got out of the car first, nodded and smiled at Sen Sen, who opened the door for her: "Thank you." ”
"You're welcome." Huo Jiyun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and glanced at the polite Sen Sen from the corner of his dark eyes, and then immediately put away his smile when he came into contact with Huo Shao's eyes. Just kidding, he didn't dare to make any trespassing.
"It's a pity." As soon as I entered the door, I heard Master Huo's angry voice.
"Yes, Grandpa Huo, hello! It's been a long time, how are you old? ”
"The body is still the same, but I miss you a little. It's not—I can't help but ask Ji Yun to pick you up. Why do you see that you have lost a lot of weight, is it that after Dean Xuan died, he didn't eat well? Master Huo's care reminded Xuan Zhen of his father.
"Thank you Grandpa Huo for your concern. I am fine. ”
"Okay, sit down first, eat some fruit, this is from our own orchard, fresh and pollution-free, completely green food, when you go back, take some with you."
"Then I'll take care of the children first, thank you Grandpa Huo."
"Hey, thank you, it's weird." The old man waved his hand. looked at his grandson and saw that his eyes had been looking at Xuan Zhenxi. I smiled in my heart.
"Ji Yun, you peel an orange for Ji Xi." The old man seized the opportunity to encourage his grandson.
Huo Jiyun's slender fingers picked up an orange and peeled it slowly, the peel of the orange was very thin, Xuan Ji thought he was going to cut it with a knife, but unexpectedly Huo Jiyun peeled one in three or two clicks. Hand it to her, and she hesitantly took it.
He said, "Thank you." In the old man's expectant eyes, he blushed and ate slowly.
The entrance is fresh and tender, the juice is moisturizing, not sour and slightly sweet. The taste is surprisingly delicious.
"How's it going, is it delicious?" The old man smiled kindly, and Xuan Zhen nodded and said, "It's delicious, it's delicious." "The taste is really good.
"If you like it, let Ji Yun peel a few more for you, his fingers are long and powerful, and it is just right to peel oranges." Huo Jiyun smiled bitterly in his heart, but there was no impatience on his face.
Watching Xuan Ji eat the oranges he peeled, his rosy lips gently nibbled on the juicy oranges.
There was actually a hint of heat in his heart. The throat swallowed unconsciously, and in order to hide his emotions, he picked up another orange and began to peel it and eat it.
A gleam flashed in the old man's shrewd eyes. Hey, kid, just pretend.
Xuan Zhen regretted that after eating an orange, several peeled ones had been placed on the table. She glanced at Huo Jiyun quietly embarrassedly, and saw that he lowered his head and said nothing. It's still peeling on your hands!
"Huo Shao, it's okay. I can't finish it. ”
"It's okay, eat slowly. Or - I'll help you eat. ”
"Yes, yes, fruit before meals, isn't it appetizing, if it's a pity, you eat more, let Ji Yun accompany you to eat." I'll go and see how the kitchen is prepared. Mother Wu, how long is dinner? "The old man left with interest, so that they could develop themselves young.
As soon as the old man left, Xuan Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. Huo Jiyun glanced up at her, peeled the orange peel in his hand, and sent it directly to his mouth. Xuan Ji watched him eat the whole orange one by one in a daze, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
Suddenly realizing that he was actually watching him eat, a hot breath welled up on his cheeks. Good-looking men are so tempting to eat. Shocked by his bold idea, Xuan Jixi was suddenly nervous.
"You don't have to be nervous, grandpa is very easy to get along with, he likes you very much." Huo Jiyun seemed to be wrong about her panic.
"I'm grateful." Other than that, she didn't know what to say. Huo Jiyun just nodded lightly and concentrated on eating oranges. In order to hide his embarrassment, Xuan Ji also began to eat the second one.
Huo Jiyun quickly finished eating another one, stood up and said, "I'll wash my hands, you eat slowly." When he walked away, Xuan Zhenxi's tense body leaned back on the sofa. The grandfather and grandson seemed harmless, but they always made her nervous.
may be because of the opposite sex, she used to be the queen, the head of the harem, and only others bow and kowtow to people and things. Except for the emperor and his son, there were no other men who came close. After coming here, she not only faced a lot of men, but sometimes she had to face them alone or in groups.
It's okay if there are more people, you can have an excuse to walk away, but it's different if there are fewer people. The grandson of the Huo family is the one who has faced the most men since she came here.
"Miss Xuan, dinner is ready, the master asked me to invite you to the restaurant." It's Mama Wu.
"Okay, thanks." When he came to the restaurant, the old man was already sitting on the main seat, and Huo Jiyun also washed his hands and came to the table.
"The last time I came, it was a family banquet, and there are no outsiders today, so if it's a pity, you don't have to be polite. Eat as much as you like. ”
"Okay, Grandpa Huo."
"Ji Yun, you sit next to Ruoxi and give her the vegetables." The old man gave an order, and Huo Jiyun naturally complied with it.
"Our chefs are very skilled, you can eat more. So that grandpa will be happy. Huo Jiyun suddenly approached Xuan Ruoxi's side to speak, which made Xuan Ruoxi's heart beat a little faster for a while. Looking at the more and more dishes in her bowl, she felt like she wanted to escape.
"Thank you Huo Shao, I'd better come by myself." You won't be able to finish it.
"It's okay, I use chopsticks, if you don't like to eat, you can pick it out." Huo Jiyun performed very well. The old man was very satisfied, and nodded while laughing.
"Why are you still called Huo Shao? Ji Yun, didn't you tell Ruo Xi, your nickname? ”
"Grandpa!" Huo Jiyun couldn't laugh or cry. Grandpa Huo didn't see his grandson's warning eyes, and said with a smile to Xuan Zhen: "My Ji Yun's nickname is very easy to remember, so it's called Huo Huo!" "Hoho!
Xuan Zhen was stunned and remembered that day, as if he heard Yu Shaoqing call him that. It turned out to be his nickname. Subconsciously looked sideways at him and found that his handsome face was a little helpless. I couldn't help but sympathize with him, but I was betrayed by my grandfather.
"I'm still called Huo Shao-Ji Yun!" Rattling! Even if she knew, she couldn't scream.
"Okay, I agree!" Huo Jiyun immediately smiled and agreed, but a triumphant smile flashed in the old man's eyes.
He still has an amiable smile on his face.
"Yes, in the future, you don't want to call the young master, the direct name is more affectionate and friendly."
Xuan Zhen was really embarrassed, the smile in Master Huo's eyes made her want to escape.
After dinner, they started chatting.
"It's a pity, you're very busy with the affairs of the welfare home, right?"
"It's fine." At present, it can still be handled.
"I've heard that you often go to fundraisers?"
"Yes, most of the children in our home are disabled children, so there are many aspects to consider in order for them to receive effective treatment."
"What's missing, just tell Ji Yun and let him help you."
"Grandpa Huo, you and Huo Shao-Ji Yun have already helped me very much. I'm sorry to trouble you too much. I can take care of the children's affairs. "The more you help, the more you owe.
"What does it matter, we will all be a family from now on-"
"Ahem! Grandpa, is it time for you to take your medicine? Huo Jiyun interrupted the old man, and the eyes of the grandfather and grandson collided - Huo Jiyun: Grandpa, didn't you say three months? Let me do it myself! Old Man Huo - blink, I know, then you can grasp it yourself, don't drop the chain for me!
"Grandpa Huo, take your medicine on time." Before leaving, Xuan Ji said to the old man Huo who sent him.
"I know, if it's a pity, you have to come and accompany me as an old man often." The pitiful words of the old man aroused Xuan Zhen's sympathy.
"Okay, I'll come. Grandpa Huo, see you next time. ”
"Goodbye!" Huo Jiyun drove Xuan Zhen back by himself.
After seeing them leave, the old man put away his kind smile, and his eyes showed a shrewd and wise old plan.
"Old man, do you really want to recruit this Miss Xuan?" The housekeeper Lao Fu is also a person who has followed Old Man Huo for half his life.
is also an old man who watched Huo Jiyun grow up.
"What do you think?"
"Of course that's good. If it's a pity that I watched grow up, I can pack a ticket for her person. Absolutely full of love, whether it is appearance and temperament, knowledge is very compatible with Huo Shao. Except for the door - there is nothing else to pick. ”
"You pack the ticket, where will I be dissatisfied. I, Huo, never care about the door or anything. As long as the character is good, I can look at it. ”
"Look, Huo Shao himself-"
"Huh! The kid himself naturally likes it, otherwise, no matter how much I force it, he wouldn't have agreed so quickly. ”
"That's just as well."
"I'm wondering, maybe I still pity her-"
"Does the old man think it's a pity to agree?"
"There is too much detachment and vigilance in this child's eyes, which makes people feel distressed."
"Then the old man thinks, is three months enough?"
"Then it depends on whether Ji Yun is really enlightened." Women chase men in the compartment yarn, and men chase women in the compartment mountain. According to usual, Ji Yun's temperament is not very pleasant. But his identity can hit a piece.
It's a pity that for Ruoxi, identity doesn't seem to attract her much, and it is precisely because of this that he takes a fancy to her. A person who is not tempted by status, money, fame and fortune is rare in today's society. It can even be said that there is none.
