Chapter 136 Who told you
Huo Qi Chen had already stood up to look for hot compress medicine.
Jian Mo rubbed her eyes, turned over and found her cell phone. She really wanted to call Xu Ming, but it couldn't be that effective. Something must have happened.
Huo Qichen had already come over, sat down, and patted her head, "Get up and let me help you."
Jian Mo had no choice but to let him do whatever he wanted. For some reason, she was no longer afraid.
The weather was very good today. She didn't even change her clothes. She sat in the yard with her hair disheveled, basking in the sun and watching the warm sunlight shining on the white walls.
Huo Qichen's black coat was casually thrown on the stool, and she picked it up and covered herself with it to keep warm.
When I was in school, I liked to wear my male classmates’ coats in autumn and winter. I always felt that they were much warmer than my own clothes.
After a while, Huo Qichen urged her to get herself ready, and he personally took her to thank Qingying.
It was one thing for her to go by herself, and another for him to take her there.
To Jian Mo's surprise, Qingying was discharged from the hospital, and her residence was actually not far away. The building was smaller, and it felt antique when she walked in.
It was already noon, but Qingying was still not awake.
Qing's father handed over a certificate written by a doctor, which roughly said that Qingying had hit her head and needed to rest.
Jian Mo felt very apologetic: "Uncle, I'm sorry Qingying. If it weren't for me, this wouldn't have happened."
Huo Qichen put his hands behind her back: "It's not your fault."
Qing's father cast an ambiguous look at the two young men and agreed seriously, "That's right, it's not your fault. Qingying is fine. The doctor said she just needs to rest. The one who's at fault is that beast!"
Then he frowned: "Are you not hurt?"
She shook her head.
"Don't worry, Qi Chen will definitely take your revenge. You are a member of the Huo family now. If he touches you, forget about staying in Haicheng!"
The meaning of this statement is unclear.
Huo Qichen's eyes flashed with a hint of violence, and he whispered: "Go see Qingying, I'll talk to my uncle."
There was an octagonal pavilion not far away. Huo Qichen watched Jian Mo's back disappear from his sight and smiled politely at the elder in front of him: "Please come in."
A servant quickly brought tea and food to the pavilion. Qing's father took a sip of tea and said, "Qi Chen, I'm actually surprised that you would fight at the annual meeting."
The man remained calm, his hands clasped in front of him, his eyes fixed on Qingying's room.
"She's Mrs. Huo after all."
Huo Qichen calmly made a promise: "Qingying saved my wife. I can repay this favor anytime."
On the other side, Jian Mo sat in Qingying's room, waiting for Qingying to wake up.
When she sat alone, she was deep in thought, with dust in her eyes.
Qingying probably wasn't asleep, she was probably just too lazy to face her. Jian Mo said, "Stop pretending. Aren't you tired?"
No one responds, and you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.
"Qingying, let me ask you a question. Do you know what kind of person Huo Qichen's mother is?" Jian Mo has been thinking about this question these days. She wanted to ask Zhou Liangqi, but after thinking about it, she decided not to cause trouble.
Qingying is a young lady from a noble family, although she is an illegitimate daughter, so she should know something.
As expected, Qingying jumped up upon hearing this, her eyes widening. "Why are you asking this question all of a sudden? Who's gossiping with you?"
Jian Mo stared at her expression and guessed: "Is she mentally ill?"
Qingying narrowed her eyes, her tone becoming even more ambiguous, "Brother Huo told you?"
This seems to be a secret.
Seeing her reaction, Jian Mo was even more certain that Zhou Liangqi was not lying to her, "It's true."
Qingying's expression was very awkward. She got out of bed barefoot and said, "That's all in the past." Then she added, "Don't mention it to Brother Huo. This is his Achilles' heel. Do you understand?"
Jian Mo knew what was going on. She was about to ask more questions when Huo Qichen came in from outside and knocked on the door. Perhaps he had waited for too long and urged her to leave.
"Xiaomo."
Jian Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he nodded to Qingying, then replied, "I'm coming."
After going through the process, both of them stayed here for the three-day New Year's Day holiday and did not return to Mingyuan.
Perhaps it was because of the New Year, or perhaps because Jian Mo deliberately gave in, the relationship between the two of them became less tense.
Jian Mo secretly studied several forms of mental illness, but they were too complicated, so she wanted to ask Xu Ming another day.
Huo Qi Chen seems to have fallen in love with cooking recently. Instead of asking Ju Ma to deliver meals, he cooks by himself. The key is that his cooking skills are surprisingly good.
Today's lunch is red wine and lemon-flavored cod. He bought the ingredients himself and then brought them back to cook it himself.
Silver cod is hard to buy. When he mentioned this, Jian Mo had an idea and suggested that they could try the fish raised in the atrium pond.
Huo Qichen laughed and took her to see, "These fish swam into the pond along the spring. If you want to eat them, I'll make you lotus root and crucian carp soup tomorrow."
Silver cod with red wine and lemon, lotus root and crucian carp soup. No matter how Jian Mo heard it, she felt she wanted to eat the latter. She liked the environment where she could use local ingredients and she also liked home-cooked dishes.
Huo Qichen took note of the joy in her eyes, put her hair up for her, and asked calmly, "Do you like Mingyuan or this place?"
She stared intently at the crucian carp swimming in the pond: "Here."
Then Jian Mo said, "In the past, during the winter and summer vacations, Jian Zhou and I would be sent to the countryside to experience life. It was a very remote village with a pond in front of the door and thousands of acres of fields behind the house. In the autumn, when the crops were harvested, the fields would be flooded with water, and the entire sky would be reflected. There were also wild crucian carp and loaches in the fields."
She thought for a moment and compared the size of the loach to him: "This big."
Huo Qi Chen curled his lips and smiled easily.
He imagined what Jian Mo was like as a child. Would she roll up her trouser legs to go fishing, get her face covered in mud, and then get beaten when she got home?
Very cute.
So in just one minute, he had thought about his future life.
After dinner, Jian Mo didn't know how Huo Qichen managed to bring in many small peach trees to the yard. He called out to her, "Jian Mo!"
Jian Mo ran out and saw it, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You want to plant trees? It's winter now."
The man had already taken off his coat and was holding a small hoe in a serious manner. "I asked, and I can support myself."
Since he asked, he must have asked professionals.
Jian Mo didn't understand, but she still followed his whim and planted the plants.
There were dozens of them, filling the yard. Finally, they watered them one by one. Jian Mo asked, "When spring comes, peach blossoms will bloom, right?"
Jian Mo straightened up and looked at these new lives that were about to survive the cold winter, and a sense of tragic accomplishment arose in her heart.
The flowers in March are very beautiful if you can keep them alive.
She began to look forward to the new year.
Huo Qichen bent down to water the plants. His arched body looked good, and his profile no longer looked so cold and aggressive, but more youthful.
