Chapter 70： except for summer evenings

Xia Wan was dreaming all night, and the dream was full of his worries.

In the dream, Xia Chengzhang couldn't accept his return to Xue's house, and looked at him in prayer time and time again, the misery in his eyes made him not dare to look directly.

Fortunately, whenever he began to fall into the depths of the dream, there would always be a strong arm that would pull him out in time and wrap him tightly.

The embrace is warm and wide, and leaning on it can give people a great sense of security.

So even though Xia Wan felt uneasy, she still slept until dawn.

When I woke up, the room was still a little dark, and the thick blackout curtains blocked the sky, making it impossible to accurately judge the time.

Around his waist, the bodies of the two were extremely tightly occupied.

Xia Wan unconsciously licked her lips, but she forgot that her lips were pressing against Huo Yu's skin. The next moment, the tip of her tongue swept past Huo Yu's chest.

The fabric of Huo Yu's silk pajamas immediately had an uneven dark water mark.

Xia Wan was stunned, then bit her lip and laughed secretly.

"What are you laughing at?" The arms around his waist tightened, and Huo Yu's lazy voice suddenly rang above his head.

Xia Wan squinted and raised her eyes, facing Huo Yu's half-squinted eyes.

"Wake up happy in your arms." Xia Wan said.

Huo Yu smiled lightly, shook his hand and played: "Didn't you do something bad?"

"Is it okay?" Xia Wan asked, raising her upper body and lying on Huo Yu's body, "Eldest young master?"

Huo Yu's muscles are very strong, and the temperature of his skin is slightly higher. The moment Xia Wan lies down, he can feel the muscles on his body tense and relax, and then he raises his hand to hold his lower back.

"Not now." Huo Yu said, his voice was slightly hoarse, with a very light nasal tone.

"When will you do?" Xia Wan put her face on his chest, feeling the temperature on his body and the strong sense of security brought by the broad embrace in front of her.

If only I could hug Huo Yu and sleep like this every day.

"Can you do it at night?" Xia Wan asked, "I want to do something exciting and relaxing.

Huo Yu raised his hand and gently smoothed the end of his hair, then rubbed the back of his neck: "Let's talk about it tonight."

"Humph!" Xia Wan said, and said angrily, "I'm already an adult."

"Yes." Huo Yu replied softly, and after a while, his voice became even lower, "Yes."

"Huh?" Xia Wan was stunned for a moment, grabbed Huo Yu's shoulders and climbed up. After understanding what Huo Yu meant, he felt a little bit late and shy.

He bit his lip, and Huo Yu raised his face with his side cheeks, looking at his eyes very carefully.

Yu is completely different.

"Yeah." Huo Yu seemed satisfied after watching it for a while, "No dark circles, I should have slept well."

"Does the eldest young master sleep well?" Xia Wan asked, "I think it's better to sleep alone or two."

"It's better to sleep with two of you." Huo Yu said.

Xia Wan smiled and lowered her head to kiss him, temporarily forgetting those worries and troubles in her heart.

"I'm thinking," Huo Yu said while pressing the back of Xia Wan's head, between kissing, "Others only need to see my in-laws once, but I have to see them twice."

"Afraid?" Xia Wan traced his bushy eyebrows with his fingertips.

"Yes." Huo Yu said.

Xia Wan didn't quite believe it: "Is there anyone the eldest young master is afraid of?"

"I wasn't afraid," Huo Yu said, "your parents were a little afraid."

The itchy and hot touch wrapped around her fingertips, Xia Wan couldn't help laughing and asked, "What are you afraid of?"

Huo Yu didn't speak, his eyes stopped on his hand.

"They will like you, like my dad." Xia Wan felt hot and said softly.

"What if you don't like it?" Huo Yu said, his voice a little vague.

"No." Xia Wan said decisively, "Who doesn't like the eldest young master?"

Huo Yu tilted his head when he heard the words, and then his chest vibrated lightly.

"What are you laughing at?" Xia Wan was dissatisfied with his attitude, her fingertips regained freedom, and she began to walk around, and was soon caught by Huo Yu's wrist.

"Huo Yu." Xia Wan approached him, pressed his forehead against Huo Yu's forehead, and gently rubbed the tip of his nose together, "It's enough that I like you, others can only count Opinions, only mine are decisions, and once a decision is made, it will never change.”

Huo Yu didn't speak, but the eyes that were so close were surprisingly bright.

"Before you asked me to only look at you," Xia Wan said, "now it's your turn to only look at me."

He repeated: "Just look at me, Huo Yu."

There was a slight sound of the door opening and closing, and two very light conversations.

Huo Yu raised his chin and kissed Xia Wan's lips seriously.

"Hmm," he said, "just looking at you."

Xia Wan's eyes blinked, and then she was full of smiles and nodded heavily.

The living room was quiet again, except for the occasional slight sound.

Xia Wan listened carefully: "It seems that my dad is up."

After he finished speaking, he pursed his lips, and the expression on his face felt a little more serious.

Huo Yu tightened his arms around him and said softly, "Don't be afraid."

"Well." Xia Wan replied, still a little anxious, "Do you think my dad can't accept it?"

"No." Huo Yu said, raising his fingers and rubbing his slightly frowning eyebrows, "Do it with confidence."

Smile again: "You're doing well."

Hearing the words, the tension in Xia Wan's eyes slowly melted away, Huo Yu pulled him up, the two changed clothes, washed briefly and walked out together.

There was a splash of water in the kitchen, and Aunt Zhang was busy.

Xia Chengzhang was wearing glasses and holding up his mobile phone, sitting in front of the window watching the news as usual.

It's just that although his movements are the same as usual, his eyes are a little empty.

Hearing the movement, Xia Chengzhang turned his head, his hand holding the phone trembled slightly, and then slowly lowered.

Because he was too afraid to see something like "disappointment" in Xia Wan's eyes, he didn't dare to look up during the whole process.

He was like a heavy camel, afraid of the last straw that was about to be crushed.

But Xia Wan was as close to him as usual.

"Dad." He came over and sat down beside him, "Did you sleep well at night?"

Xia Chengzhang lowered his head and nodded mechanically.

In the past few years, the ups and downs of life have made him look much older than his peers, and after this night, he looked even older than usual by several years.

Xia Wan looked at him quietly, and his heart slowly filled with sorrow.

"Dad." He pursed his lips, then held Xia Chengzhang's rough palm full of calluses, "You should know that I love you very much."

"Yes." Xia Chengzhang nodded, his eyes quickly turned red.

Xia Wan looked at him sideways, trying to make him smile, but her lips moved and she didn't say anything.

"Drink some water." Huo Yu poured two cups of hot water and placed them in front of the two of them. He looked at Xia Wan and nodded lightly to him.

"Xiaoyu." Xia Chengzhang slowly raised his head and pointed to the single sofa next to him, "You also sit."

Huo Yu pursed his lips and nodded, then sat down beside him.

"Xiaoyu told you." Xia Chengzhang asked, bloodshot eyes filled with raised eyes.

Xia Wan looked at those weather-beaten eyes and felt even more sad.

one night.

You must have slept all night?

Xia Wan gave a soft "um" and nodded.

"I'm sorry." Xia Chengzhang lowered his head again.

Since yesterday, he doesn't seem to be able to raise his head in front of anyone anymore.

The uneasiness and guilt in his heart made him breathless after seeing Wen Yunzhi's pain.

He didn't think about these things, but he never dared to let himself think deeply.

And every time he saw the family-hunting program, he would turn it off immediately in a panic.

These are all because, very selfishly, I want to keep Xia Wan by my side forever.

He closed his eyes: "Last night, I felt like I was back in the waiting room eighteen years ago, and the scene at that time was still very clear, because I had thought about it countless times, just This time, when you were thrown to the ground and cried, I chose to hold you in my arms and hand you over when the station staff came to ask..."

Xia Wan heard the words and clenched Xia Chengzhang's hand quietly.

The second young master of the Xue family is held by everyone, not everyone can bully, there is no strong backing, there is only a child who burdens a disabled father, your..."

He said, "Your destiny will be completely different."

"Dad." Xia Wan's throat also choked up, and she let out a soft cry.

"You should hate me, you shouldn't call me dad, the Xue family are your relatives." Xia Chengzhang seemed to insist on his own fantasy, and murmured, "If I don't Selfish, I wish I could hand you over at that time."

"What about you?" Xia Wan asked softly, "What will you do after handing me over?"

"Me?" Xia Chengzhang froze for a moment, then fell silent.

He will naturally end his life silently after returning to his hometown as originally planned.

"Dad, no one can go back to the past, you are, so do I," Xia Wan pursed her lips, tears wet her eyelashes, "You can't go back to the past and let me go, I There's no way to go back in time and let you go."

Xia Chengzhang raised his eyes and looked at him, not understanding what he meant.

"I can't go back to the time when I didn't have feelings for you," Xia Wan called him, "Dad."

Xia Chengzhang gritted his teeth, and the voice in his throat was extremely sad.

Huo Yu handed over the water in silence, Xia Chengzhang took it, but only held it in his hand and did not drink.

"Dad." Xia Wan bit her lip, "Have you ever thought that if you didn't find anything abnormal at the station, then I might be sold by those two people, beaten and disabled Throw it out to beg for food, and even lose your life after being useless..."

Xia Chengzhang heard the words, his eyes widened, and then he shook his head: "That won't work."

"Dad," Xia Wan said softly, "Fate brought me to the station, maybe to save you, and you had to go back to your hometown, maybe to save me."

"If you are still guilty, you will treat your illness as punishment." Xia Wan looked at him, "You made mistakes and were punished, and those are all over?"

"Can this be calculated?" Xia Chengzhang asked in confusion.

"Yeah." Xia Wan nodded, took the tissue from the table, and moved over to wipe Xia Chengzhang's tears.

Xia Chengzhang's skin is rough, and there are many sunburns on his face, each line bears the pain left by the years.

"Dad, I won't leave you," Xia Wan said, after a while, he tightly clasped the tissue in his hand, "but I also want to recognize my biological parents."

Xia Chengzhang was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily, his eyes were still red: "Dad doesn't mean to object."

He lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "If your parents want to hold me accountable, no matter what, I'm willing to take it."

"They won't hold you accountable." Xia Wan shook his hand and whispered relief.

Xia Chengzhang couldn't believe it, until Xia Wan nodded solemnly to him, his tears flowed without any scruples.

The phone call with Wen Yunzhi last night ended, and Xue Chong answered.

He is much calmer and more rational than Wen Yunzhi, but his voice still has uncontrollable ups and downs.

"Ake," he said, "although everyone in the family would like to be reunited as soon as possible, but you should not put too much pressure on yourself, and take care of your adoptive father's affairs."

"Thank you Dad." Xia Wan said.

Xue Chong thought he would intercede for Xia Chengzhang, but Xia Wan did not speak.

His mood was very complicated, but his resentment towards Xia Chengzhang somewhat subsided.

After all, the child was raised well by him.

Cheerful, optimistic, and self-motivated, neither humble nor arrogant, she can take care of things at a young age, even if she is raised in the Xue family, it is nothing more than that.

"Tell him," Xue Chong was silent for a moment, and couldn't help sighing softly, "The Xue family will not hold him accountable any more, let him recuperate in peace."

"Well," Xia Wan bit her lip and said, "Thank you."

"Silly boy," Xue Chong said, "the Xue family did not pursue him because the Xue family was soft-hearted, nor because the Xue family was easy to bully, nor because they pitied him, but because the family members Love you."

Xia Wan bit her lip but didn't say anything.

Treat yourself as just one more home, but also remember that everyone in the family loves you."

Xia Wan was stunned for a long time while holding the phone, the whole person was wrapped in the kind of delicate and generous love and tenderness.

This feeling is very familiar to him, exactly the same as the family gave him when he didn't wear it before.

Xia Chengzhang's tears flowed fiercely, his lips trembled, and he did not speak for a long time.

The more Xue Family is like this, the more uncomfortable he is.

Because of the kindness and tolerance of the other party, it is more difficult for him to accept his selfishness.

Xia Wan didn't say anything, just held his hand tightly and accompanied him silently.

After a long time, Xia Chengzhang's mood slowly calmed down. He seemed to remember something and hurriedly shook Xia Wan's hand.

"They must all want to see you soon," he said, "you today...you go to Xue's house today."

And said to Huo Yu: "Xiaoyu, you go with him."

"Yeah." Huo Yu nodded, "I'll go after breakfast with you."

As Aunt Zhang had just ordered breakfast, Huo Yu got up and went over to help bring the dishes and dishes.

"I know, Xiaoyu stayed here yesterday, just don't worry about me," Xia Chengzhang looked at Huo Yu's figure and said to Xia Wan: "Don't worry, Dad will never be stupid If your parents don't hold me accountable for you, how could I not live well for you?"

"Dad loves you too," he said.

Xia Chengzhang's heart is clearer than anyone else, and none of the situations he worries about exist.

They are all trying to make concessions because they love him, and have not let him survive even a minute in the crack.

After breakfast, Huo Yu accompanied Xia Wan out.

Before going out, Aunt Zhang deliberately called Xia Wan aside.

"It's too late," Aunt Zhang asked earnestly, "Did you quarrel with the old man?"

"No." Xia Wan smiled.

"That's somewhat wrong," Aunt Zhang frowned and persuaded, "The old man's health is not good, you are a good and sensible boy, let him do everything, ah ?"

"Yes." Xia Wan nodded, "please spend more time today and take care of my dad for me."

"It's up to you to say, isn't this my job," Aunt Zhang said, "Wrap it on me properly."

Xia Wan laughed and hugged Aunt Zhang before going out: "Thank you."

"Oh, my old bone." Aunt Zhang patted his shoulder with a smile, and whispered, "Go get busy, your father is on Aunt Bao, don't worry."

The weather outside is very good, and the sun shines on the ground through the thin clouds, lengthening the shadow of the person.

Xia Wan was held by Huo Yu, and he turned around abruptly as soon as he passed the corner, tightly wrapping Huo Yu's waist.

Huo Yu didn't speak, just hugged him tightly and kneaded the back of his neck lightly.

On the way to Xue's house, Xia Wan's mood was much calmer, but it turned into another kind of tension.

He took a deep breath, took out his phone, and began to check the information, diverting his attention by the way.

After replying to a few work messages, he habitually opened a web page and started browsing the news.

After Huo Yu returned to the Huo family, the online discussion of the Huo family never stopped.

In different forums and posts, there have been many Huo family struggle scripts, but Huo Yu has never responded positively.

But today this is even more outrageous than the self-made scripts of those netizens in the past.

The poster claimed to be an insider of the Huo family, and the words in the post were also very reasonable.

The post mentioned that 20 years ago, Huo Peifeng and Yan Rui died in an accident, and Huo Yu, who was only five years old, was brought home by Huo Peixue to raise them.

In the meantime, Huo Peixue treated Huo Yu as his own, even more so than his own son Huo Lin. Whether it was food, clothing, or toy education, everything was based on Huo Yu. First.

After Huo Peixue took over the Huo family, he devoted most of his energy to his career, and only laid a solid foundation for Huo Yu to take over the Huo family as an adult.

The post listed the aristocratic school that Huo Yu attended when he was young, the original comics that Huo Peixue had bought when he flew abroad, and several famous teachers hired by the Huo family for him. Qi wanted to study abroad, and the Huo family immediately chose the best art school abroad for him...

It was Huo Lin's heart.

In addition to listing the "goodness" of the Huo family to Huo Yu, "people in the know" naturally also criticized Huo Yu.

In his writings, Huo Yu can be described as an out-and-out white-eyed wolf.

Not only did his uncle Huo Peixue have a heart attack, but he also ruthlessly drove the Huo Peixue family out of the Huo family.

And Huo, in any case, Huo Peixue and his son have no credit and hard work, why should Huo Yu enjoy the fruits of his twenty years of labor in vain?

Not only that, after returning to the Huo family, Huo Yu also went to the hospital to visit Mr. Huo's son, Huo Chuan.

According to a person familiar with the matter, Huo Chuan suffered a stroke in his early years and has been staying in the hospital for recuperation. It looks like it's going to fail.

The most disgusting thing is that just two days ago, Huo Yu officially issued an ultimatum to the Huo family, requesting the Huo family to move out of the Huo house.

The last concluding remark of the poster is even more instructive.

In his mouth, Huo Yu is not only ungrateful, but also bites back on his relatives who have worked hard for him, even the old house where the other party has lived for 20 years. Can be said to be greedy enough to swallow the elephant.

Netizens are easily incited, and no one knows how big the old house of the Huo family is, how much it is worth, how to get it, and what it means to Huo Yu.

Under their own cognition and the deliberate guidance of others, they quickly broke out into a war without the smoke of gunpowder.

Xia Wan slowly swiped down the screen, frowning very tightly.

"What's wrong?" Huo Yu noticed that he was wrong, "Still worried about Dad?"

"No." Xia Wan licked her lips and asked, "Eldest young master, have you taken back the old house from the Huo family?"

"Well, after the land is recovered, I want to donate it." Huo Yu replied in a low voice, and said, "Don't look at the mess on the Internet."

"I'm angry." Xia Wan said, "They don't know anything, why are they attacking you like that online?"

"Not angry." Huo Yu said, looking at him sideways.

Xia Wan pursed her lips: "Recently, the news of your family has been about to fall, but now there is suddenly more people in the know who broke the news, and he said a lot of things about your childhood , even refuting is not easy to refute, I always feel that they are testing the water now, and they may further attack you from a moral level in the future."

"So sharp?" Huo Yu couldn't help laughing after listening to his analysis.

"I'm serious." Xia Wan was a little anxious.

After all, Huo Yu has been abroad for many years, and he may not remember everything clearly when he was a child. Even if he remembers clearly, he may not have the awareness of leaving evidence at a young age at that time. It is not what the Huo family said. How to calculate?

And this so-called moral attack often does not require much evidence, as long as you find a good ghostwriter and seize some plausible points, you can attack arbitrarily.

The more Xia Wan said, the more likely it was, and asked, "You said, could this so-called "informed person" be Huo Lin or your uncle?"

Seeing him in such a hurry, Huo Yu couldn't help but smiled lightly.

"Still laughing!" Xia Wan couldn't help but glared at him.

"Don't be afraid." Huo Yu smiled obediently, "I don't care what others think."

Even when the future was uncertain in the past, he did not care about the opinions of the world, not to mention that now, he is in a high position and holds power, and he does not pay attention to these dying struggles of the Huo family inside.

Not even a second wasted on them.

But if the summer evening cares, it should all end as soon as possible.

"I'm not afraid." Xia Wan reached out and shook Huo Yu's wrist lightly, "I just don't want those people to hurt you so recklessly."

Huo Yu was quiet for a moment, and backhanded Xia Wan's hand in his palm.

No one can hurt him anymore.

Except summer evenings.

The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he couldn't help but glance at Xia Wan.

Xia Wan's expression was serious, the corners of her lips were pursed, and she was filled with righteous indignation...

I don't know what is in my hand.

I don't know how cute and heart-warming he is in Huo Yu's eyes.
