evening

When Luo Chaoyan came out of the bathroom, she saw Huo Jin walking in with a few books.

She was a little confused. Because of the disaster in Xuanzhou recently, he had been very busy and had been resting in the study for several days.

Seeing that her hair was wet, Huo Jin put the book on the desk and waved at her.

"Why don't you let someone dry your hair?"

As he said this, he took the towel beside him, looked up at her, and motioned for her to sit on the chair.

Luo Chaoyan blinked. Was he going to wipe her hair? That’s fine! So she sat down without hesitation and enjoyed his service. Seeing that he had placed several travel books on the table, she immediately became interested and picked up one to start reading.

I have to say that this travelogue is very well written. It not only describes the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, but also the cultural customs. It is written in great detail, which made her read it with great interest.

When she finished reading a book and turned over the cover, she saw that there was no signature.

"My dear, where did you get this book? Why is there no signature?"

Huo Jin wiped her hair gently and said calmly, "I wrote it."

"You wrote it?" Luo Chaoyan was a little surprised.

But she did see some spots of wet ink on the pages. This was obviously written not long ago.

Huo Jin nodded, looked at her and said, "Do you like it very much?"

"Of course, what my husband writes is much better than that Mr. Nanshan's novel." Luo Chaoyan said.

Huo Jin raised the corners of his lips slightly and said, "These are the places I passed by when I was studying abroad in my early years. If you like, you can write more in the future."

Luo Chaoyan was stunned. Could it be that this was written specially for her?

"Thank you, my dear." She said with a smile.

Seeing that her hair was dry, Huo Jin put down the towel and said, "It's late, take a rest."

Luo Chaoyan nodded, looking at his handsome face and his lean and powerful figure, she suddenly felt a little dry in the mouth. What was wrong with her? Fascinated by beauty?

Cough cough!

She hurried to the table, poured a cup of tea, and drank it in one gulp. After drinking two cups, she felt her body's restlessness calmed down.

When she looked up, she saw Huo Jin sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her with deep eyes. Her heart was beating fast again. Never mind, everyone has physiological needs, so she won’t make things difficult for herself.

She walked over, put her arms around his neck, whispered a few words to him tenderly, and then covered his handsome lips.

It was rare for Huo Jin to see her take the initiative, so he put his hands on her slender waist and carried her up.

The bed curtains fell, and the black hair merged together and hung on the pillow...

The two of them spent the evening in rare harmony and warmth.

The next morning, when Luo Chaoyan was half asleep and half awake, she found that Huo Jin was still there. She was a little stunned. Hasn't this guy always been self-disciplined? Every time she woke up, he had already gone for morning exercise or was busy with official business.

Seeing her staring at him with sleepy eyes and a confused look on her face, Huo Jin smiled and said, "I have a day off today, so I can walk around with you."

Luo Chaoyan sat up and looked outside. She thought that the sun might be rising from the west. The workaholic asks to go out and play? Why is she so unconvinced?

Huo Jin coughed lightly and said, "Didn't you say that people should enjoy life while they can? I also want to experience the pleasure of stealing a little time to relax from the busy life."

Luo Chaoyan was stunned. Has this guy finally come to his senses and knows how to be lazy?

"Mother!"

Huo An's voice was heard outside the door.

Shu Lan and Feng Li stopped him from breaking in, cough cough! Otherwise it would be bad to see some bad pictures.

"Master An, the mistress hasn't woken up yet, can we go to the yard and wait for a while?"

Huo An shook his head. His mother had promised to take him out to play today, so why hadn't she gotten up yet? Could it be that my mother has changed her mind?

Thinking that he was a little anxious, he wanted to knock on the door, but saw the door creak open.

He looked up and saw his father glanced at him indifferently. Suddenly his small body shrank. Why is dad always lazy in bed?

"Father!" he saluted.

Huo Jin looked at him and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

Huo An blinked. He had used it at his great-grandmother's house, but thinking that his mother's breakfast was better, he pointed out, "One point!"

The implication is that he only ate a little and could eat more.

Huo Jin rubbed his little head and told someone to prepare toiletries and breakfast.

The breakfast was prepared according to Luo Chaoyan's preferences, including barbecued pork buns, chestnut cake, vegetable and chicken porridge, and a few side dishes.

Huo An was very fond of the breakfast in front of him, with a greedy look on his face.

Just as Yue Li was about to go forward to serve them food, she saw Huo Jin scoop a bowl of porridge and place it in front of Luo Chaoyan. So she had to retreat again. Her eyes flickered a little. It was the first time she saw her master being so considerate.

Luo Chaoyan thanked him and picked up the spoon to drink the porridge.

Huo An didn't want to drink the porridge, so he picked up a barbecued pork bun and ate it with relish. After he ate two in a row and wanted to get another one, he saw that there was only one left in the steamer. He quickly reached out to take it, fearing that if he was slow, his mother would eat it again.

How could Luo Chaoyan not know that he was greedy, but children would easily get indigestion if they ate too much, so she quickly picked up the food and put it in Huo Jin's bowl, and then picked up two vegetables for him.

Huo An looked eagerly at the steamed buns in his father's bowl, then looked at the vegetables in his own bowl. His face suddenly turned bitter. How could he have forgotten to give the vegetables to his father?

"Mother!" he tried to act coquettishly.

Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "You've already eaten at your grandmother's house, so you shouldn't eat too much. Otherwise, your stomach will swell and you won't be able to run. Then we'll have to stay at home and can't go out to play."

When Huo An heard that he could go out and play, his eyes lit up immediately. He nodded his head and said, "Then I won't eat!"

After the couple finished their breakfast, they walked towards the door hand in hand.

Huo Rui didn't have to go to school today, so when he saw them going out, he naturally wanted to go with them.

Mrs. Huo, of course, hoped that their father could be closer, so she made the decision for them and agreed.

On the carriage

Huo Jin looked at Huo Rui and asked, "Have you been listening carefully to Mr. Gongsun's lectures recently?"

Huo Rui nodded, "Yes, the teacher also said that I have made progress recently."

In order to avoid being punished by the old man, he didn't dare to doze off in class, and he had to memorize all the books after school. It was really hard. But there was no other way. As the eldest brother, he would often be punished to sweep the classroom, which was embarrassing.

Huo Jin nodded and said, "That's good."

It was rare for Luo Chaoyan to see Huo Rui being so honest, it turned out that there was always someone who could defeat someone else.

"My dear, where are we going?"

Huo Rui and Huo An also looked at Huo Jin expectantly.

"Quanzhuang!" Huo Jin said, "The scenery there is nice. You will definitely like it when you go there."
