Huo Yan said in a low voice, just as his classmate called him. Huo Yan said to Sanbao, "Let's go home quickly, we're going out to play."
When Sanbao saw that Huo Yan's classmate had a cigarette in his hand, the little girl frowned.
She called out to Huo Yan, "Brother Huo Yan, don't smoke. You're still a child. Children shouldn't smoke."
Huo Yan didn't turn around, but simply waved his hand.
Huo Yan's classmate, who was two years older than him, burst into laughter.
"Huo Yan, if I remember correctly, you're an adult, why are you being bossed around by an elementary school student?"
Huo Yan, a cigarette dangling from his lips, glanced coldly at his classmate. "What do you know? That's my sister. Is it normal for her to care about me? You don't even get to be cared for. Let's go."
However, Huo Yan felt a little regretful; he shouldn't have stood in front of the Shen family's house for a while.
In fact, he knew that Uncle Shen didn't like him coming to the Shen family. Huo Yan himself also felt that he had a somewhat perverse possessiveness towards Sanbao. He always wanted to pry into the thoughts of a little girl.
He felt that this was wrong.
He always felt that Sanbao was raised by him. When he and his uncle went abroad for medical treatment, little Sanbao was still being held in Wenqiao's arms. He always felt that Wenqiao was the older sister and Sanbao was the younger sister. So what was Sanbao to him?
His mother and uncle both said that he should call Wen Qiao "Auntie" and Sanbao "Sister," and that's how he addresses others as well.
But in his heart, he always felt that Sanbao was like a little girl he had watched grow up. He had a strong desire to have her, not out of selfishness, but like the love an elder has for a younger generation. He even thought that if he had children in the future, he would want to have a daughter as cute and sensible as Sanbao.
However, he still couldn't fully understand this strange and complex emotion.
She couldn't even tell her mother, her uncle, or her sister Wen Qiao.
Otherwise, they would definitely think he was a pervert.
After Huo Yan went out of the compound with his classmates, the cigarette that was in his mouth remained unlit. Even his classmates asked in surprise, "Huo Yan, you really don't smoke anymore?"
He simply said, "I'm not smoking anymore."
After wandering around until lunchtime, Huo Yan went home.
It just so happened that my uncle Huo Dongqing brought his girlfriend over for dinner. My mother liked her very much and treated her very warmly.
Grandpa's health is not good, so he went to a nursing home and will live there permanently from now on.
My mother was very lonely living alone at home. She always said that once my younger brother got married, there would be another sister-in-law in the family. She wasn't one to cause trouble, so she would naturally take good care of her sister-in-law.
My uncle's girlfriend is quite beautiful, and she treats him and his mother very well.
Huo Yan also greeted Tang Yuanyuan politely.
Tang Yuanyuan was helping to bring the food to the table. She had seen her nephew, who was now as tall as her boyfriend Huo Dongqing, and she always liked him.
Huo Yan is very sensible, calm, and polite. Most importantly, he is very handsome, with delicate and refined features.
He's not the kind of sunny, cheerful guy who loves to laugh, but his calm and composed demeanor makes him memorable from the first time you see him.
Seeing that Huo Yan looked unwell, Huo Dongqing put the drink on the table and then walked over to his nephew.
"Didn't you say you were going out for lunch today, and you didn't make plans with your classmates?"
"It doesn't mean anything," Huo Yan said calmly, then added, "Uncle has arranged for me to study abroad."
Hearing this, Huo Dongqing was a little shocked. Just then, his sister-in-law Yan Minghui came out, and Huo Dongqing looked at her.
He asked, "Sister-in-law, is Ayan going to study abroad? Did you know about this?"
If his sister-in-law didn't know, A-Yan would never have said such a thing to him.
Yan Minghui frowned slightly. "No."
“Ayan, you are my only son. What will I do if you go abroad? I just don’t understand. You hated going abroad when you were little. Why do you have to go abroad now? I told you, there’s no room for discussion on this.”
Huo Yan had mentioned wanting to go abroad once before.
But Yan Minghui firmly rejected him.
Yan Minghui doesn't expect her son to become a great talent in the future. She only hopes that after he grows up, he will go to an ordinary university, find a partner, and preferably have a child while he is still young.
Of course, Yan Minghui didn't say anything about urging her son to get married and have children; it was just her own plan for her son and her own little scheme.
Huo Yan glanced at his mother indifferently, but said nothing.
“Going abroad is also a form of learning; it's not like I'm never coming back. My uncle is so outstanding; I should strive to be like him.”
Huo Dongqing smiled.
"You little rascal, you're always trying to drag me into this."
Turning to Yan Minghui, Huo Dongqing said, "Sister-in-law, if Ayan really wants to go abroad, it's not impossible. If it weren't for her health, the old man would even have wanted Ayan to apply to a military academy."
Yan Minghui wouldn't let Huo Yan apply to military academy. He was her only son, and she believed that soldiers should have a spirit of sacrifice. Once you become a soldier, you should never back down in the face of an emergency.
She couldn't bear the thought of anything happening to her only son, so after arguing with her father-in-law, he stopped mentioning letting his grandson apply to military school.
Huo Yan chose a medical major that Yan Minghui liked.
He followed the same path as Huo Dongqing.
Yan Minghui felt that if her son studied medicine, he would be able to protect himself in emergencies.
Huo Yan's health is currently fine.
The biggest problem is that we might not be able to have children after getting married in the future.
However, this suspicion is based solely on previous treatments for the same condition.
After all, Huo Yan is a grown man now. If he develops well between adolescence and adulthood, his future is uncertain.
Huo Dongqing had a clear idea of what was going on, but discussing offspring with Huo Yan now would put too much pressure on the child. He had talked to Yan Minghui about it, so Yan Minghui didn't dare to say much, but she was still worried about it.
Huo Yan was annoyed by his mother's words, but he still sat down and had lunch with his uncle's partner.
After lunch, he went back to his room and locked himself inside.
He fiddled with his piggy bank.
From the time Sanbao was old enough to understand, whenever he offered her a piggy bank, she refused, saying that it was wrong to accept money from others casually.
Looking at the undelivered piggy bank, Huo Yan felt a bit irritated, but couldn't find an outlet for his frustration.
Meanwhile, at the Shen family's house, after the Zhao family left, Sanbao and his parents stood at the door to see them off as they got into their car. Zhao Chengze was reluctant to leave, repeatedly saying, "Aunt Wen Qiao's cooking is so delicious, I want to come again next time..."
Sanbao suddenly said to Wenqiao, "Mom, I saw Brother Huo Yan at lunchtime. I invited him to our house for dinner, but he didn't come."
"I thought he didn't like it anymore. But Xiaoze clearly loves Mom's cooking."
Wen Qiao was slightly surprised. "Huo Yan is here? Why didn't he come to the house?"
Sanbao shook his head. "I don't know why either."
Sanbao didn't tell his mother that his older brother Huo Yan had a cigarette in his mouth.
She felt that it was wrong for children to smoke.
But Sanbao didn't know that her brother Huo Yan was no longer a child.
