Chapter 148: Tremella and Snow Pear Soup Filled with Love (3)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
She took a deep breath and said to herself not to dispute with this little bastard and stressed her good cooking skills in Huo Qu’s ears for countless times, and finally Huo Qu nodded and handed over the important task of making soup for Yu Qinghuan to her.
Mrs. Huo snorted, rolled up her sleeves, and decided that she must show her full skill today, so that Huo Qu, who was blind to see it, could see what his mother was capable of!
Soon, however, Mrs. Huo started to regret for her decision.
Because... Huo Qu did not really let her cook, but to let her cook according to his method!
He searched a detailed menu on Weibo and insisted that she follow it. The materials she had to use could not even have 0.1 gram difference.
Huo Qu studied experimental physics, so there were many small items for him to measure weight at home. Mrs. Huo never expected that these tools would be used in her kitchen one day.
She was an impetuous person. Watching Huo Qu quibble over weighing the ingredients, she even wanted to throw the soup pot on his head, and then shouted, “I quit!”
Mrs. Huo found it more difficult to cook this soup than giving birth.
When all the materials were put into the pot, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and vowed secretly that she would never rush forward. She would push Huo Rong to the front line next time!
A few hours later, Huo Qu carried a bucket of sweet and delicious soup to the airport escorted by Huo Rong.
The airport was crowded with people and parking spaces were in shortage. As Huo Qu had become more ease staying alone during this period of time, Huo Rong just dropped him off at the gate 4 and told him not to move and waited for his brother in the same place. Then Huo Rong drove the car to find a parking space.
Seeing Huo Qu nod his head, Huo Rong, who knew his younger brother’s character well, drove away without much thinking.
However, he did not expect that accidents occurred all the time. As soon as he left, Huo Qu was hit by a punk kid.
Huo Qu knew nothing about the real world and just watched the young man go away.
It was not until he wanted to take out his cell phone and call Huo Rong to ask how long it would take him to come over that he realized that his cell phone was gone.
Huo Qu did not have any knowledge of the word 'stealing”. He thought he lost the phone accidentally. He looked around with his eyes wide open, but instead of finding the phone, he lost himself.
Without a cell phone, he could not reach anyone.
He pursed his lips, and his eyes fell on those strangers around him, then he withdrew his eyes immediately.
He was much better than before, and was able to talk with others on his own initiative. However, both the driver and the cook were people he was familiar with.
To ask a stranger for help was an experience he had never had before.
Huo Qu pursed his lips uneasily and his clenched palms were full of sweat.
What to do? What to do?
Maybe he should just wait, wait for his second brother, who would definitely find him.
But this idea was immediately overturned by himself. He looked down at the wrist watch, Qinghuan would be back soon, he wanted to see him in the first place.
Qinghuan, Qinghuan... Huo Qu could not wait to see him...
Finally, Huo Qu took a deep breath and turned to someone nearby. He said stiffly, “Excuse me... could I use your cell phone?”
The man looked at him warily and said in a hurry, “My cell phone is dead.” and then left immediately.
Huo Qu carefully summed up his own mistakes from the first failure and quickly grabbed the second person, “I’m sorry, can you lend me your mobile phone?”
He paused and looked at the heat preservation barrel, “I can exchange my soup for it.”
He thought he failed because he didn’t pay, so others would not lend him a hand. If he exchanged it with something, it might work.
However, to his disappointment, the second person not only rejected him, but even accused him a liar.
The third…the fourth…the fifth… he continued to suffer failures.
Huo Qu leaned against the wall behind him in frustration and dropped his head painfully.
He didn’t know what was going on. Clearly, he tried to communicate with them, but couldn’t get the results he wanted.
He was really a useless person, he thought... No one liked to eat the soup he brought...
Huo Rong felt the world collapsed when he didn’t see Huo Qu at the door when he came back. He immediately took out his cell phone and called his brother. Unexpectedly, he found Huo Qu’s phone was turned off.
What happened?
Huo Rong was so scared that he was covered in cold sweat. He immediately began to search for his brother throughout the airport and even used the airport’s radio.
When Yu Qinghuan got off the plane, he was startled by the broadcast looking for Huo Qu. He called Huo Rong at once. After getting to know the wholes story, he left everything behind and threw his luggage to Yu Xin, asking him to help bring it back. Then he joined Huo Rong to go look for Huo Qu.
They searched around the airport for whole two hours. Just when Huo Rong almost revealed the incident to his father, Yu Qinghuan found Huo Qu.
Huo Qu was standing next to a circular rotating pillar which hid him from others in the airport hall, so they never saw him.
“Huo Qu!” Yu Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ran towards him.
“Qinghuan!” Huo Qu’s eyes lit up when he saw Qinghuan, but soon the light in his eyes dimmed and he even timidly hid the heat preservation barrel behind.
“What’s the matter, Huo Qu?” Ignoring the panic of Huo Qu, Yu Qinghuan pulled the heat preservation barrel to the front forcibly, “Is this for me?”
Huo Qu shook his head, but then nodded. He hesitated for a moment and whispered, “I made Tremella and Snow Pear Soup to relieve you cough.” Then he added, “It may taste bad...”
After saying that, he immediately pressed his forehead against Yu Qinghuan’s shoulder like giving himself up. He said all the words buried in his heart painfully, “I’m sorry for being useless all the time. I always lost my way.”
Sipping his lips, he said, “Qinghuan, you must be upset with me. I…always bring trouble to you.”
“Why would I be upset?” Yu Qinghuan sighed and gently held Huo Qu’s hidden hand. “I can not be happier to see you’re all right.”
