Chapter XXVIII, Portrait

[It's nothing, it's just a watch, if you don't like it, I'm buying the other ones for you.] 】

[Oh, no. This time, Xuan Zhen regretted that he recovered quickly. Huo Jiyun raised the corners of his mouth, quite satisfied.

After a while, Xuan Zhen thought about it, let's take it first, it's not good to return it to others after so long. In addition to secretly annoying, I also warned myself that when I received gifts in the future, I would remember to open them in person.

[Huo Shao, I will send the return gift tomorrow, what time is it convenient for you? ] She remembered to make an appointment.

[Come over tomorrow afternoon, I will explain to the front desk to give you an elevator card.] 】

[Okay, then I'll come over at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon.] Good night. 】

Huo Jiyun looked at the time, ten o'clock in the evening.

After sending the message, I glanced at the computer. It seems that he has no intention of working, so he will go to bed early tonight.

Lying on the bed, Xuan Ji was still thinking about the information between her and Huo Shao just now. Thinking about what to send tomorrow? Just now, it was said that it was sent tomorrow in a hurry, and it was difficult to chase the horse in a word. But what should I choose as a gift? Compared to what others sent, she can't be too shabby.

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided on the direction of the gift, and the sleepiness invaded, and I gradually fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Xuan Zhen went to the warehouse to rummage through the boxes and cabinets for a while, and finally found the materials he wanted to use in the sealed box. Hiding in his room, it took three hours in the morning to complete the gift to Huo Jiyun.

Thinking that he should be a person who lacks nothing in life, she can't find a better one. She can only use her skills that she hasn't used for a long time. It's just that I haven't started writing for a long time, and it took several pieces of rice paper at first. Looking at the ink painting on the table, Xuan Zhen nodded with satisfaction. Just suddenly paint a portrait of him, will it be too abrupt?

But she couldn't think of a better way to give gifts. Forget it, let's get the hang of it for now. Take a deep breath, place the portrait in a sunny area, and when the wind dries, put it away.

"Xiaoding, I'm going out in the afternoon, please take care of the welfare home!"

"OK, Sister Ruoxi, where are you going?" Xiao Ding was very curious, he hadn't seen her in the morning, this had just appeared, and he was going out again in the afternoon.

"I'll go to Huo's Group to deliver something." Xuan Zhen regretted that she didn't hide it, and Xiao Ding saw the picture scroll in her hand.

Asked in surprise: "Sister Ruoxi, is this a painting?" A similar shape, she had seen in the teacher's office.

"Well, yes, I'm going to send it to Huo Shao."

"Wow, Sister Ruoxi, you've been doing this all morning?"

"Hmm." Xuan Zhen was a little embarrassed.

"My God, I didn't expect you to be like this, Sister Ruoxi? I want it so much! ”

"Then I'll draw it for you next time."

"Okay, it's a deal, I'll wait."

"It's a deal."

When there was still half an hour before the agreed time, Xuan Zhen took a taxi to the Huo Building in advance.

When I came to the front desk, it was the same little girl from last time.

"Hello, I have an appointment with Huo Shao." The little girl raised her eyes to look at her, looked up and down, and found that it was a little familiar, but this time she did not refuse directly, but in a businesslike tone: "Name!" ”

"Xuan Ruo pity! Director of the Welfare Institute. I don't know how Huo Shao explained, Xuan Zhen regretted to report two titles.

The little girl pursed her lips and took out an elevator card.

"Huo Shao explained, if there is a young lady called Xuan Ruoxi, she will be given an elevator card and go directly to the president's office." After taking the elevator card, Xuan Zhen said with a pity: "Thank you!" He turned around and walked towards the elevator.

The little girl looked at her slender back, pouted, and muttered jealously: "Why do you look so good?" The figure is still so good, it is unreasonable. ”

took the elevator directly to the eighteenth floor, and as soon as Xuan Jixi stepped out of the elevator, he saw Sen Sen's smiling face.

"Sensen!"

"If you cherish my sister, Huo Shao asked me to wait here."

"That's it! That's hard work for you. Xuan Zhen nodded embarrassedly.

"What is this? Shall I help you get it? ”

"It's okay, it's not heavy, I'll do it myself." As they spoke, they came to the door of Huo Jiyun's office one after another, Sen Sen opened the door for her, and Xuan Zhen went in. Huo Jiyun sat in his position and slowly raised his head, and when he saw her coming, he put down the pen in his hand. Smiling, he stood up and walked up to her.

"You're here. Have a seat. Xuan Zhen pursed his lips and smiled, and Sven sat down. Huo Jiyun's gaze fell on the scroll in her hand.

Xuan Zhen was embarrassed and handed the scroll to Huo Jiyun.

"Huo Shao, this is a gift I prepared. I don't know if you like it or not? The door opened, and Samson came in with juice and coffee.

"Miss Ruoxi, drink juice, Huo Shao, your coffee."

"Thank you, Sensen." Xuan Ji smiled and thanked him, but Sen Sen was curious about what Huo Jiyun was holding. Huo Jiyun raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, and Sen Sen immediately touched his nose and retreated.

Slowly unfolding the picture scroll, what appeared in front of Huo Jiyun's eyes was a portrait of a person. The portrait is dressed in a suit, with a tall figure and meticulously groomed hair. There is a heroic righteousness between the eyebrows, the eyes are wise, and the facial features are eight points similar.

"I know Huo Shao lacks nothing, and I don't know what you like specifically? The base map of this portrait was found by me from the Internet. Aside from filtering, I've seen your deity too. So, I drew this from memory! It's not a valuable gift. It's embarrassing. ”

"You say, you drew it?" Does she still have the ability to do that? In addition to surprise, there is joy and appreciation!

Xuan Zhen nodded embarrassedly.

"Thank you, I love it. You drew very well, and this is the first time I have received such a special gift. "It's more than he could have imagined. Originally, I was curious about what she would give him? I also guessed that it might be a dessert made by myself, or a greeting card made by myself, or maybe it was a random purchase of men's products, but I didn't expect her to be so attentive!

"How long did it take?" The painting is so good, and the skills are not ordinary.

"About three hours in the morning." In three hours, you can draw such a vivid portrait. If he didn't understand her situation, Huo Jiyun really had to wonder, did she find a master to ghostwrite?

"Thank you. I received a gift, and as a token of appreciation, I invite you to dinner. ”

"No need Huo Shao, I still have things to do, and I may not have time at night." Seeing her excuse himself, he didn't insist.

"Alright then, next time, please. I'll let Sen Sen send you back. He stood up, still carrying the portrait in his hand.

"No—"

"Don't always reject me, and besides, I said I wanted to call Ji Yun." The condescending eyes are deep and bottomless. Xuan Jixi hurriedly stood up and thanked him in a slightly flustered manner: "Then thank you-Ji Yun." Inevitably annoying him, Xuan Zhen regretted that he still changed his words bluntly.

"Don't always say thank you! It's so polite that it looks rusty. "It's all exchanged gifts, so there's no need to be so angry.

Xuan Ji Xi almost ran away from Huo Jiyun's office. After getting in the car, she was still flustered. Huo Jiyun's eyes just now made her too nervous.

In the office, Huo Jiyun took the portrait and looked at it again and again, always with a smile on his face.

"I should take it back to my grandfather." After speaking, he slowly rolled up the painting.

"Miss Ruoxi, what did you just give Huo Shao?" Sen Sen was curious.

He always felt that Huo Shao was serious this time.

"It's a portrait!" Xuan Zhen is still annoyed that he is too serious? If she knew it would be so embarrassing, she should have bought something casually, or made a cake or something. Could Huo Jiyun be misunderstood?

"Portrait? My sister, you actually gave us a portrait of Huo Shao? "That's too unusual, isn't it?

"Uh, what's wrong?" Xuan Zhen regretted being told by Sen Sen that he was even more panicked.

"It's not impossible, it's just that it feels a little special." Sen Sen saw that she was nervous, and he couldn't say anything else, in case he frightened her, then he couldn't explain it.

Huo Shao said he liked it.

"Oh, that's fine." Since he likes it, what else does he say?

"However, I think it's really different if you pity you." Along the way, they talked and laughed, and through Sen Sen, Xuan Jixi learned some things about Huo Jiyun. Like, what he doesn't like and what he likes.

"All in all, Huo Shao is a very self-disciplined and decent young man. Don't look at his noble status, but he never puts on a stand in front of ordinary people. In addition to being meticulous in his work, even his private life is very scrupulous. There has never been lace news, not even a girlfriend. "Haven't talked about a girlfriend? This surprised her. For a man as outstanding as him, there should be countless suitors around him.

"Sister Ruoxi, what I said to you today, you have to keep it secret, and you can't let Huo Shao know. Otherwise, I'll be miserable! ”

"I know, don't worry." Naturally, she wouldn't say it.

Regarding Huo Jiyun's deeds, she also read some pictures by the way when she was looking for pictures on the Internet. The outside world praises this Huo heir, both in character and business acumen. Seeing is believing, and after getting along a few times, she also feels that Huo Jiyun is a decent gentleman. After listening to the narration of the people around you, it is more certain.

In the evening, Huo Jiyun returned to the villa with a scroll in his hand.

"Yo, come back so early today?" The old man was drinking ginger soup, and when he saw his grandson Yu Xuan coming in, he immediately had a smile on his face.

"Because I have something to show my grandfather, I want to come back early."

"Oh, what's that?" The old man's elite gaze fell on Huo Jiyun's hand.

"This! A gift received by your grandson. Huo Jiyun opened the picture scroll with great energy, and a vivid portrait was displayed in front of Old Man Huo.

"It's—you!" The old man pointed to the portrait in surprise.

"Of course! Like? ”

"Like! Otherwise, I wouldn't have recognized it at first sight. Who sent it? The old man looked at the portrait carefully. The painting is really good, and it can be compared with the ancient paintings in his collection.

"Your appointed granddaughter-in-law!"

"What a pity!" The old man was shocked again.

"It's like a fake."

"She drew it herself?"

"Uh-huh!"

"-Hahaha!" Suddenly, the old man burst out laughing. He said that his vision would not be wrong, it was really a treasure!

"I'll tell you, you hurry up and marry someone to me, not three months, just one month."

"That's not going to work, grandpa! You don't know what she thinks, women like to fall in love first before getting married. Huo Jiyun warned the old man that he had never eaten pork, and he should have seen a pig run.

"Your grandfather and I have come from here, and I was the same when I pursued your grandmother, she was a conservative and rigid person. At first, she didn't want to talk to me. Later, if I hadn't gone to see her parents and had a parent's order, she wouldn't have married me so quickly. I look a little like your grandmother, and I think she's a good match for you from the first time I saw her. "It's not the first time Huo Jiyun has heard his grandfather talk about the past, and when his grandmother died, he was still young. Later, I relied on my grandfather's memories to understand a little.

"Grandpa, how did you and Grandma first meet?" This is the first time Huo Jiyun has asked.

"Huh! That's a long story. "The past is a story, and we have to talk about it slowly and remember it slowly.
