Chapter 25: Can’t even peek?
Huo Jingchen called people out.
The setting sun hit the side of the man's face, his expression was cold, and his dark eyes were indifferent.
"In what capacity do you want me to explain what you just said?"
Huo Jingchen's temper, which he had suppressed all day, was now completely unrestrained and his emotions were exposed.
Yes, what identity does she use, the neighbor's daughter or a stranger?
Jing Xiaoran was speechless. No matter how she made Huo Jingchen angry in the past, he would forgive her for Aunt Zhao's sake.
Now...
She opened her mouth, but before the words came out, two lines of tears fell, and she bit her lower lip in grievance.
"Why are you crying? You have messed up my wedding. No one is justified in crying. Jing Xiaoran, do you need me to remind you how old you are? Or do you think I haven't grown up like you?"
Huo Jingchen's words were heart-breaking, and each word turned into a sharp knife and stabbed into Jing Xiaoran's heart.
Jing Xiaoran's tears had no intention of stopping. She sobbed and spoke intermittently.
"I wanted to give you a surprise. Last time you came back, you said that the conditions on Zhuifeng Island were not good and there were few supplies, so I wanted to come over and see you."
"Brother Jingchen, we grew up together. I don't believe you don't know my feelings. Why would you marry someone else if you know my feelings clearly?"
Huo Jingchen laughed angrily, "Did the conditions on Zhui Feng Island suddenly become bad? I told you when I was in junior high school that you and I will only live as brothers and sisters in this life."
"Now the brothers and sisters will not die."
"Also, if only the people I want to see come, it will be a surprise for me. As for you, it will be a shock."
These words were spoken by Huo Jingchen from the bottom of her heart. To Jing Xiaoran, they all sounded humiliating, reminding her that everything she did was done out of passion.
Jing Xiaoran couldn't accept the fact and burst into tears. When he raised his head again, his face was filled with tears.
"Why can I only be my sister so that she can marry you? You said you didn't like people who were much younger than you, but in terms of age, she is still two years younger than me!"
Huo Jingchen said nothing, looking at people with indifference.
Silently, Jing Xiaoran was severely injured again.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know that my appearance caused trouble to you, but I have promised the principal to be a teaching assistant here. Can you please not kick me out first?"
Jing Xiaoran knelt down and cried loudly, without any regard for face and dignity.
What she was betting on now was to risk everything, hoping to exchange her past affection for Huo Jingchen's soft heart.
"Your appearance has ruined all my efforts. The teaching assistant is your business and I have no right to interfere."
Xia Mi didn't resist his approach in the past two days, but when Jing Xiaoran came today, he realized that his relationship with Xia Mi seemed to be still at the same level.
"I am a married person now, and it is not convenient for me to associate with single lesbians. If you have any problems in the future, you can ask Aunt Lanhua or someone who asks you to stay."
Huo Jingchen breathed out a breath, and the irritability in his heart was finally released at this moment.
He is not the kind of person who takes things easy. He has said whatever he has to say since he was a child. Except for the old, weak, sick and disabled, everyone else is regarded as equal.
No, there is an exception now.
Huo Jingchen left for a while, but Jing Xiaoran still kept crying.
Aunt Lanhua stood at the door and watched everything, looking at Jing Xiaoran, her eyes full of distress.
People are excellent, but their vision is too short, so short that they can only see Captain Huo.
-
Xia Mi just came out of Jiang Shengmei's house and met Huo Jingchen who was returning home.
She was holding a red mandarin duck enamel basin in her hand, and it looked like she was here to deliver endless apples to Sister-in-law Jiang's house.
"Give it to me." Huo Jingchen naturally took the thing in her hand, "Were you at my sister-in-law's house this afternoon?"
"Pretty much, I'm fine at home alone."
Jiang Shengmei was the first friend she had made on the island so far. Many sisters-in-law were there in the afternoon, and Xia Mi got to know her a lot.
"If you are bored, why don't you try to go to work? There is a shortage of teachers on the island right now."
work?
The corners of Xia Mi's mouth gradually stiffened. Can't he avoid going to work even if he wears a book?
Seeing that the person was silent, he reacted first with his furrowed eyebrows, with the word "unwilling" written on his face. Huo Jingchen thought that the bandaging technique she used last time was no worse than that of the hospital's health center, or that she could work as a teacher in an elementary school with a technical secondary school diploma.
However, if she didn't want to, he wouldn't force her.
"I'll think about it." Xia Mi swallowed the words of rejection.
She lowered her eyes and thought, if she had a job, it would not arouse anyone's suspicion if she often went out to catch the sea in the future. She just wondered whether primary school teachers would have as many jobs now as in later generations.
"Okay, if you have an idea, tell me and I will deal with it."
Xia Mi agreed softly.
If Xia Mi agreed now, Huo Jingchen would not dare to let her go, and would at least wait until Jing Xiaoran left.
"I'm going to take Fu Ming to the city tomorrow. Do you have anything to buy? I'll bring it back to you."
During the meal, Huo Jingchen asked Xia Mi.
Xia Mi raised her eyelids, thought carefully, and found that she really wanted to buy something. She was not used to wearing the original owner's underwear, and wanted to find an excuse for the goods in the department store.
She tentatively said, "I want to go with you."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Did you forget you were seasick?"
Huo Jingchen recalled that half of her body was in the air. As long as the waves were bigger, she felt like she could be knocked down.
That scene stimulated Huo Jingchen's brain, and she didn't want to let Xia Mi suffer.
Xia Mi already had a countermeasure. He was going to buy some seasickness medicine at the mall and take it.
She put down her chopsticks and promised obediently, "Don't worry, I will stay inside this time and will never wander around. I will sleep as soon as I get on the boat."
Huo Jingchen met her longing eyes and agreed softly.
At night, there is no hot water on the island, so you can only boil water to take a bath. However, there is no running water, so taking a bath naturally becomes a luxury.
The water was just filled yesterday, and now that the two of them have taken a bath, it has bottomed out.
Xia Mi wanted to go inside to say something, but the water was gone. As soon as she walked in, the door opened.
Huo Jingchen had his back to the door and was wearing a white old man's vest. Because of the vest, his lean arm muscles were clearly visible.
Because he had just taken a shower, the man's body was still steaming. Under the light, his wheat-colored complexion glowed slightly, and his vest was wet and clinging to his body.
There was no trace of fat on his waist, and he was wiping his head with a towel tightly in his hand, making the veins on his forearm more and more obvious.
Xia Mi suddenly thought that people on the Internet said that generally such men are very good?
The door was opened, and cold air poured into the room.
Huo Jingchen felt a chill behind her, stopped wiping her head, and turned around to catch the person peeping.
“Can’t you even learn from peeking?”
The man curled his lips and said jokingly.
Caught peeping.
Xia Mi felt her blood boiling all over her body. She grabbed the door handle and slammed the door shut.
Closing his eyes, his face felt incredibly hot, and he obviously lacked the confidence to speak.
"I didn't mean to tell you that there is no water at home."
The people inside didn't speak, and it was quiet.
Xia Mi thought he hadn't heard clearly and was about to speak again.
The door was suddenly opened from the inside. She took half a step back and looked at the man who appeared at the door. Her cheeks were red, her eyes were guilty, and she didn't dare to look at him.
"I'll pick it up tomorrow and go into the house to sleep."
The second half of the sentence is daunting. There is no bed for the first time, so I have to squeeze in one tonight no matter what I say.
