Entering from the gate of the Huo family's old house, passing through the rockery and flowing water, the overall appearance is a Chinese-style garden. The car stopped at a villa in the middle.

As soon as Xu Qingzhi got out of the car, he saw Mr. Huo.

It was such a cold day, but he came out specially to wait for her.

Xu Qingzhi called out, "Grandpa Huo."

Mr. Huo responded happily and asked with concern: "Qingzhi, are you cold? Are you used to the weather in Kyoto? Come in quickly, it's warm inside."

As soon as Xu Qingzhi entered the door, he saw a large family.

Little Milk Ball was the first to call out, "Second Aunt."

Huo Fengze: "Sister-in-law, you are finally here. Grandpa has been talking about you every day, and my ears are about to get calluses."

…

Xu Qingzhi followed Huo Fengyan to recognize everyone one by one, and everyone was very enthusiastic.

She has always had a weak sense of family affection, but at this moment she seemed to be wrapped in warm family affection, making her dazed for a moment, unable to tell whether the moment was real or illusory.

Having grown up in such an environment, she felt that all family affection except that between close relatives was quite hypocritical.

But at this moment, seeing the lovely child of the Huo family, it seemed as if I suddenly understood that there are people in this world who grow up surrounded by everyone's love.

Such people are born to be loved, have no lack of love, and have the ability to love.

She could imagine how confident and bright Ningning would be when she grew up.

This is a life completely different from hers.

"Qingzhi, what's wrong with you?" Huo Ying asked.

Xu Qingzhi was distracted for a moment, "Hmm?"

"I called you for a long time but you didn't respond. I thought something was wrong with you." Huo Ying said, holding up the bowl and handing it to her: "Try it quickly, these are freshly cooked dumplings with sesame filling. Fill your stomach."

Xu Qingzhi ate two, they were very sweet, and didn’t eat any more.

After dinner, everyone watched a movie together in the home theater. After the movie, Ningning insisted on playing with fireworks with her second aunt. She couldn't wait to share her fun fireworks. Just like taking care of her second uncle, she also wanted to take care of her second aunt.

Xu Qingzhi liked her very much and went out to play with her.

Huo Fengyan had just received a call and was talking about work when he realized Qingzhi was missing. He went out to look for her and saw her and the little guy having fun playing with fireworks, looking more like children than children themselves.

He walked over with long legs and heard Ningning's baby voice asking again: "Second Aunt, will you and Second Uncle also have a baby as cute as me?"

Xu Qingzhi: “No.”

"Why?" Ningning asked her, raising her head.

Xu Qingzhi gently scratched her nose: "Because, there is no one cuter than you."

Ningning was coaxed into giggling.

"Second Aunt, Ningning likes you."

"I like you too, Ningning."

Xu Qingzhi was still waving the fairy wand in his hand. He turned his head and saw Huo Fengyan. He curled his lips and waved at him: "Come here, let's play together."

The snow outside was falling heavier and heavier.

The rustling sound of the falling snow seemed to overlap with the throbbing of his heart at this moment.

He walked over, covered Ningning's eyes with his big hands, held the back of her head with his other hand, and leaned over to kiss her.

On a quiet snowy night, the first New Year after our reunion.

He suddenly wanted to kiss her like this.

Xu Qingzhi leaned back subconsciously, but he held his head, so he couldn't hide.

His breathing was a little disordered.

Ning Ning shook her head restlessly, "Who covered my little eyes? Who is it? Let me go, let me go..."

Because he was afraid of hurting the little girl, Huo Fengyan didn't use much force and she broke free in no time.

Then……

On the way back to the house, Ning Ning asked innocently, "Second Uncle, why did you kiss Second Aunt on the mouth? Is it because her mouth is sweeter?"

Xu Qingzhi blushed.

Ningning opened her arms and asked Xu Qingzhi to hold her, "Then I want to kiss Second Aunt on the mouth, too."

Xu Qingzhi didn't know whether to hug or not: "..."

Huo Fengyan stopped her and held her in his arms: "No, only I can kiss you."

Ning Ning pouted in grievance, crossing her arms over her chest, "I'm going to tell Mom and Dad!"

Huo Fengyan took out a piece of candy from his pocket and stuffed it into her mouth.

"After eating Uncle Er's candy, you can't tell anyone what happened just now."

Ningning, who was very easy to coax with candy, said happily: "Ningningzi knows~"

As soon as you enter the door.

Ning Ning was put down by Huo Fengyan. She ran towards Jiang Yue and said, "Mom, my second uncle just kissed my second aunt on the mouth."

Huo Fengyan: “…”

The sugar was given away in vain.

Jiang Yue immediately smiled and said, "Ningning must have seen it wrong, stop talking."

Ningning looked innocent and said in a serious voice: "Ningning is not mistaken, Second Uncle kissed me for a long time."

Then she pointed to her forehead, nose, cheeks, and mouth and said, "I kissed all these places."

Huo Fengqing quickly covered his daughter's mouth and said helplessly: "You little guy..."

Xu Qingzhi's face turned red and he felt his earlobes getting hot.

Huo Fengyan chuckled and said, "Even if I feed you a piece of candy, I can't buy your mouth."

Ning Ning was released by her father and immediately said, "I want to sleep with Second Aunt tonight and kiss her secretly to see if it's sweet..."

Jiang Yue covered her mouth again, "It's getting late, let's go to bed."

Ningning: “Mmmmm…”

Mr. Huo coughed twice and asked, "Feng Yan, are you going back home today or sleeping in the old house?"

Huo Ying hugged Xu Qingzhi's arm and said, "Sleep in the old house. Qingzhi will sleep with me tonight."

Then, Huo Ying's brother Huo Mao said, "Yingying, I have something to talk to you about. Come with me."

Huo Ying thought something was really wrong, so he said to Xu Qingzhi, "Qingzhi, go upstairs first and let Brother Yan take you to my room. I'll come over after I finish talking to my brother."

Xu Qingzhi nodded.

Huo Fengyan sent Xu Qingzhi upstairs, and the two of them stood at the door of Huo Ying's room.

Huo Fengyan: "If there is anything you are not used to, just send me a message."

Xu Qingzhi nodded and looked up at Huo Fengyan. To be honest, this face was quite similar to those of the Huo family.

The ridiculous idea that popped up in my mind last time popped up again at this moment.

If the Huo family was just someone he borrowed his identity from, he wouldn't have brought her here to meet them so that she could integrate into this big family.

As she thought about this, she asked this question.

Huo Fengyan didn't want to hide it, but it was hard to explain it in a few words: "I'll tell you in a few days."

"Okay." Xu Qingzhi responded and opened the door. "Then I'll go wash up."

After a long while, Huo Yingcai, who had been scolded by his brother, came back with a frustrated look on his face. When he saw Xu Qingzhi in the room, he became visibly happy again.

"Qingzhi, I thought you wouldn't sleep with me tonight."

Xu Qingzhi finished washing up and sat on the bed for a while. There was another set of toiletries prepared in advance in the bathroom, which was very thoughtful.

She patted the bed and said, "The bed is already warm for you, go wash it quickly."

"Yeah." Huo Ying hummed a song happily and went to wash up.

She blew her hair dry, opened the quilt, stuck to Qingzhi, and started the night chat between the two sisters.
