On the way back, the wind shook the shadows of the trees, and the fine moonlight paved the way, just like the golden touch on the ankles of Xia Wan, which is so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated.
Huo Yu leaned on the seat with his eyes half closed, his right hand interlocked with Xia Wan's left hand.
The sound of the wind was isolated from the window, and it was a bit dull when it came over. They seemed to be stuck in a warm and peaceful harbor, not afraid of any wind and waves.
Part of this sense of peace comes from the fact that the overall situation has been settled, but more comes from Xia Wan.
This was the ultimate relaxation that Huo Yu had never enjoyed since the death of his parents.
It seemed that after the endless darkness and hopelessness, he finally made him wait for the day of "coming alive".
"Did you know?" He lightly rubbed the tiger's mouth of Xia Wan's left hand with his thumb, rubbing that small piece of skin until it became slightly hot, "My father was not born to Huo Chuan."
Xia Wan froze for a moment, moved closer to Huo Yu, and could smell the faint aroma of wine on his body.
"Huo Chuan got married once when he was young, but he didn't have children for many years after marriage. Later, the husband and wife went to the hospital for examination and found out that the problem was his wife."
"So Dad was adopted?" Xia Wan asked.
When Xia Wan said the word "Dad", Huo Yu was stunned for a moment, but when he realized who he was calling, he couldn't help but opened his eyes and looked over.
In the dark light, those eyes were full of smiles, unbelievably beautiful, and unbelievably gentle and joyful.
Xia Wan thinks that he is not a very shy person, even in bed. He can take the initiative, but facing such gazes, his heartbeat speeds up inexplicably, and the roots of his ears are also warmed up.
"En." Huo Yu replied in a low voice, "At that time, Huo Chuan and his wife had a very good relationship. It is said that they were each other's first love, so after discussing with each other, they adopted my father. At that time, my father was just two years old. age."
"That's not right, didn't they give birth to your uncle later?" Xia Wan asked curiously.
"Huo Peixue was born to someone else," Huo Yu explained, "When my father was four or five years old, Huo Chuan cheated on her, and the other party was Huo Peixue's mother."
Xia Wan came to a sudden.
"It's ridiculous," Huo Yu snorted, "When he filed the divorce lawsuit, Huo Chuan still used the other party's infertility as an excuse, and tried his best to justify himself."
"This is not only shameless, but also shameless!" Xia Wan was angrily.
"En." Huo Yu responded, "Later, Huo Chuan's ex-wife went away, and Huo Chuan married Huo Peixue's mother. The other party's belly was already big when they got married. At that time, Huo Chuan was old enough to be a child, so he was very fond of Huo Peixue. Pamper."
Xia Wan didn't speak, and quietly listened to Huo Yu talking about those long past events.
"My father's life is naturally not very good. People say that having a stepmother is equivalent to having a stepfather, not to mention that the father is not biological. When I was young, I almost couldn't finish school. Since junior high school, I have worked odd jobs to save tuition fees. Later, I relied more on myself," Huo Yu was silent for a moment, "until I met my mother."
He said with a smile in his eyes: "My mother is very lively and cheerful, and it gave my father a sense of belonging that was missing."
He paused as he spoke, and looked at Xia Wan seriously with a smile: "Same as you."
Xia Wan's heart fluttered, and she unconsciously squeezed Huo Yu's hand: "Where is it the same as me?"
"You are to me like my mother is to my father," Huo Yu said, "It gave me a sense of belonging and let me know the true meaning of living."
Xia Wan pursed her lips, unable to speak for a moment.
Because Huo Yu's words were so sweet, they were more beautiful and charming than any love words he had ever said before, and they moved him even more.
"I was smarter than other children when I was young, probably because my parents were away, so I felt insecure and very alert to everything," Huo Yu said, "I noticed something wrong when I was very young, because no matter what Huo Peixue But I am the eldest grandson of the Huo family after all, but Huo Chuan has completely different faces to me and Huo Lin, and even...even, I think my parents have an accident. I was very happy. It wasn't until later, when I was thirteen or fourteen, that I overheard those servants of the Huo family gossiping, that I really realized the problem. "
"So you started to pay attention to the family business at that time?" Xia Wan thought of Sun Baijiang's words, knowing that the matter was over, she still became nervous uncontrollably.
"Don't be afraid." Huo Yu looked at him, his eyes were inexplicably reassuring.
Xia Wan pursed her lips and nodded lightly.
"Actually, I have always paid attention." Huo Yu smiled shallowly, "Although they deliberately arranged the art path for me since I was a child, in fact, I have always been concerned about the development of Huo's and Yan Yu, so I I just watched them being completely taken over by Huo Peixue little by little."
The corners of Xia Wan's lips were pursed straight, and the center of her brows furrowed unknowingly, her heart was sour.
"It's just that I was still young at that time, and after vaguely knowing my father's life experience, I still couldn't stabilize myself," Huo Yu said softly, "That's why the car accident later happened."
Xia Wan listened quietly, and suddenly thought of something.
"I remember that your parents were also involved in a car accident?" He hesitated, "Is it really an accident?"
"After knowing my father's life experience," Huo Yu said, "I actually asked someone to investigate this matter."
Xia Wan looked at Huo Yu, feeling a little surprised.
Even though he knew that Huo Yu was thinking deeply, he never thought that a child of thirteen or fourteen could think so much and take action to investigate.
Not to mention, Huo Yu himself hadn't had any accidents at that time.
"Do you think I'm scary?" Seemingly aware of Xia Wan's expression fluctuations, Huo Yu smiled bitterly, "You can't imagine how scary I am at all?"
Xia Wan knew how scary Huo Yu was, she knew it when she read the book.
But after really understanding, he realized that he was not scary.
He just wanted to seek justice for himself and his parents after being treated so unfairly and cruelly abused.
He had already taken himself very lightly, and he came back with the mentality of dying together.
His eye sockets couldn't help but burn slightly, and he leaned over and hugged Huo Yu.
This is the time Huo Yu talked the most, it would be great if the content was not so cruel.
But he hoped that Huo Yu could tell them all at once.
After the bad things are finished, all that is left is endless happiness and sweetness.
"You're so nice, so it's not scary." Xia Wan said softly, raising her head to kiss the corner of Huo Yu's mouth, "Those bad people are scary."
"Am I not a bad person?" Huo Yu asked.
"Of course you are not." Xia Wan looked at him and said firmly.
Huo Yu smiled, and then hugged Xia Wan tightly into his arms, and his soft lips fell on the top of his hair.
"What happened next?" Xia Wan was hugged tightly, anxious to know the result.
"It was indeed an accident." Huo Yu said softly, with his lips against Xia Wan's hair, "otherwise the Huo family wouldn't end up like this."
It's not the end like it is now, it's probably to make the other party pay for his life, right?
Xia Wan didn't speak any more, just imitating Huo Yu when he raised his hand to comfort him, and gently patted it on the back of his head.
Huo Yu's hair stubble was very short, and the pricks in his palms were itchy, making Xia Wan both want to cry and feel happy.
Perhaps, in the past many years, the fact that Huo Peifeng and Yanwei were not harmed by others was already the greatest kindness of heaven to Huo Yu.
As we got closer to home, the wind started to get stronger.
There was no voice in the carriage, and it gradually became quiet.
Turning into the alley leading to Huo Yu's house, the driver in the front row suddenly said, "Sir, there seems to be someone at the gate?"
Xia Wan raised his head from Huo Yu's arms when he heard the words, the headlights were very bright, and it had already hit the man. He recognized at a glance that the man was Huo Peixue they had just talked about.
Probably the weather was too cold, even though he was wearing cotton clothes, he kept rubbing his hands.
Xia Wan looked at Huo Yu, Huo Yu didn't look at Huo Peixue, but turned his head to him and said: "It's cold outside, you go home first."
"No need." Xia Wan passed Huo Yu's coat, and put it on herself, "No matter what happens in the future, I will always be by your side, and I will never leave by myself."
Xia Wan is beautiful and very young, and she is often a little childish when she is lively, but when she says this, she is extremely firm in both her demeanor and her language.
Huo Yu paused when he got out of the car, his eyes looking at Xia Wan were like the deep sea at night, and like the stars in the sky, gradually ignited by smiles, it was astonishingly bright.
"Okay," he said.
"Xiaoyu." Huo Peixue watched them get out of the car together, hesitated for a moment and then came up to meet them.
It's not that Huo Peixue has never been to Huo's before.
He had been in that building for more than twenty years, but now he couldn't even step in.
The staff who had always been respectful to him before met him, but now they dared not even look at him with a cold face, and the security personnel even took him out unceremoniously.
It seemed that the place had turned into an impregnable wall for him overnight, and it was impossible for him to see Huo Yu at all.
If he hadn't been braving the cold wind so hard that he squatted here stiffly for several hours today, he probably wouldn't be able to block anyone.
"En." Huo Yu responded, looking at Huo Peixue calmly and indifferently, "What's the matter with you?"
"I," Huo Peixue glanced at Xia Wan, and mist came out of his mouth, "I want to talk to you."
"En." Huo Yu responded, raised his hand and looked at his watch, "I'll give you three minutes, Xia Wan is afraid of the cold."
It's not going to let him in.
The bewilderment for many days and the biting cold at this moment suddenly turned into raging anger. Huo Peixue clenched his stiff fists with patience.
Once he lost the arrogance and deliberate hypocrisy of the past, the malice in his eyes could hardly be hidden.
"You're still too young. I don't know that this kind of person who deliberately climbs up is the best at acting. Shouldn't his background be the most able to endure hardship?" Huo Peixue was furious at the moment, and he always looked down on Xia Wan's background, even now I have lost everything and even become a street mouse, but I still maintain a sense of superiority in front of Xia Wan, "pretentious."
Xia Wan didn't speak, but just pursed her lips and smiled indifferently when she heard the words.
Huo Yu lowered his eyes to look at his watch, and said in a low voice, "There are two minutes and forty-five seconds left."
Huo Peixue was startled, and then panicked.
"Xiaoyu," he spoke faster, "the old house...whether the old house can be left to us, it doesn't matter how old I am, it's just that Huo Lin is still young, so it depends on us raising you For his sake, leave him a way out, uncle begging you?"
"Nurture me? Cold violence, verbal violence, malicious stimulation, are these what you call nurturing?" Huo Yu's mouth slightly twitched, "Did you ever think about saving me from the accident back then?"
"It's not us." Huo Peixue's voice suddenly increased.
"Is it true that you all know it well?" Huo Yu said, "If it wasn't for you, why was the monitoring of the garage missing at that time?"
He said with a light smile: "Of course, you can also call it a coincidence."
"You..." Huo Peixue was startled, his lips trembling, "You checked the surveillance? How could you possibly enter my study?"
Huo Yu looked at him mockingly, and said softly, "Three minutes are up."
As he spoke, he shook Xia Wan's hand and was about to enter the door. Seeing this, Huo Peixue hurriedly stopped in front of them.
Seeing that Huo Yu remained indifferent, he knelt down with a common sound.
"There is nothing at home. The debtors come to the door every day. Your grandfather is still lying in the hospital." Huo Peixue wanted to grab Huo Yu's trousers, but Huo Yu gently dodged it, "I beg you."
These words were shattered by the wind, Huo Yu didn't even look at him, and walked into the door holding Xia Wan's hand.
The cold wind became more bitter, blowing across the cheeks like a knife, and the security guards from the distant community were rushing against the wind.
Huo Peixue collapsed on the ground as if he lost his strength.
The young boy who he thought he could drive crazy and cripple, the young man who could be dealt with silently, the young man who was sent abroad and could no longer get involved in domestic affairs, has grown so tall now that he has to admit defeat, has to give up. Recognize the old.
Under the shadow of the moonlight, the way he looked down at him, calm and indifferent, made him shudder.
Like, the gaze of death.
