Chapter 68 Jiang Ling
Xia Mi looked at the other person. Jiang Ling had an oval face and looked cute. She was wearing a white shirt and a high-waisted light blue plaid skirt.
Her chest-length hair hung casually in front of her chest.
"Is this your lover?" Jiang Ling looked at Xia Mi, a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then walked forward to chat.
"Should I call you aunt or sister-in-law?"
Jiang Ling looked at Xia Mi and was at a loss for words.
This also confused Xia Mi. She called Jiang Shengmei sister-in-law, and her daughter looked about the same age as her, so it would be a bit awkward to call her aunt.
"Call me Xia Mi, Li Jiajia calls me that too."
Xia Mi thought quickly and immediately thought of Li Jiajia.
"Mi, the Maitreya Buddha's Mi, remember your aunt's name." Huo Jingchen spoke for the first time after entering the door, with a doting smile in his eyes.
When Jiang Ling saw Huo Jingchen's smile, she was stunned at first, but she quickly reacted.
"Okay, then I'll call with Jia Jia."
"Why did I hear my name?" Li Jiajia poked her head out of the kitchen. "Are you saying bad things about me?"
Her wary eyes lingered over the three of them.
"Hasn't anyone complained about your suspicious nature?"
Li Jiajia looked at Huo Jingchen, thought about the last time he embarrassed her, gritted her teeth and hid back in the kitchen.
Just then, Political Commissar Li came over, and she stopped him, "Dad, can't you be more motivated and be like Huo Jingchen's father? He always bullies me."
Political Commissar Li looked at Li Jiajia, who looked aggrieved, and felt no sympathy at all.
"Li Jiajia, don't I know him and you? If you were born in the Huo family, I dare not imagine how domineering you would be."
Li Jiajia was speechless, "Are you still my biological father?"
"Just know that I'm your father. I don't ask you to achieve much. Do you want me to do that?"
“…”
Political Commissar Li pulled his hand away, took out the wine from the cabinet, and prepared to return to the main room.
"Besides, your father is also being bullied by this brat, where can I go to seek justice?"
Li Jiajia shook her head. This father is useless and needs to be encouraged. He is in his early forties and can still work hard for another twenty years.
There were many people coming, and they were divided into two tables, those who drank and those who didn't.
Xia Mi, Jiang Ling, Li Jiajia and Lin Qianyue were at the same table.
When she sat at the table, she sighed inwardly, thinking that she was really sitting at the child's table.
"Sister Xiaoling, isn't it good to be in Qingcheng? Why did you suddenly come back? Last time I heard from my aunt that your hospital has more than 30 doctors."
As soon as the question was asked, the room, which had been filled with lively conversation, suddenly became cold.
"It doesn't matter whether I'm there or not. My hometown needs me more. Besides, aren't you happy that I'm back?"
Li Jiajia shook her head honestly, "I'm not happy. Someone will compare us again in the future."
Xia Mi curled the corners of her lips.
Political Commissar Li at another table was very disappointed when he heard this. "Who told you to care about this? Shouldn't you learn more from Xiaoling?"
Li Jiajia curled her lips, "I just asked you to improve, but you didn't have this attitude."
Political Commissar Li was furious. "You are hopeless."
"Dad, you too."
The father and daughter were bickering like children, making people ignore the parties involved.
Jiang Ling was happy and at ease, because no one would ask her any more questions, and no one would believe her anyway.
"Alright, alright, why are you still competing with the child?"
The atmosphere returned to its previous lively state.
It was completely dark when she went out again. She had brought a flashlight with her before coming. As soon as Xia Mi turned on the flashlight, she felt her shoulders sink.
Huo Jingchen's head hit her shoulder, followed by a strong smell of alcohol.
"Why did you drink so much?" Xia Mi lifted his head with great effort, "What's bothering you?"
"No, I'm just happy."
"Why are you so happy? Because of Jiang Ling?"
In the dark night, the smile on Huo Jingchen's lips deepened. He thought she wouldn't care about his past.
"Huo Jingchen, you laughed out loud..."
Xia Mi flicked his smooth forehead and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Is it really because Jiang Ling will come? Thinking of this, Xia Mi's heart gradually lifted up. In the silent night, her gaze towards the man was a little more ardent than usual.
"What are you thinking about? It has nothing to do with her."
Huo Jingchen had no choice but to stand up straight, reach out to hold Xia Mi's hand, his tone firm.
"I'm happy that I'm finally not alone. In the past, whenever they had a meal together, they would bring their families with them, but I was alone. At first, I could use the excuse of liking someone as an excuse, but later I could only use the excuse of being used to being alone."
It wasn't until Xia Mi appeared that Huo Jingchen realized that he didn't have to get used to being alone.
The alcohol took effect, and Huo Jingchen took advantage of his drunkenness to tell her what she had always been curious about.
"I didn't believe in love at first sight before, until I met you, I realized that I was also that superficial."
Hearing this, Xia Mi's heart seemed to skip a beat.
This was the first time Huo Jingchen talked about the real reason why he liked her.
"I only realized after we got married that your appearance is only one of your advantages. Huo Jinying wrote to me and told me that you are very smart and asked me to persuade you to go to college."
Huo Jingchen asked seriously, "Do you want to go?"
"No, I want to stay here."
How can she go fishing in the city? Her current diploma is enough.
Huo Jingchen nodded and uttered a short sound from his throat, "Yeah."
Although he seemed calm, he held the person's hand more tightly. -Xia Mi returned to the room and saw Huo Jingchen lying quietly on the bed. This scene was extremely rare.
The bed was against the wall and Xia Mi was sleeping inside. To get back to her position she needed to crawl over or step over it.
After turning off the lights, Xia Mi moved very carefully, fearing to disturb others.
Her ankle was suddenly grabbed by someone, and her cold ankle was tightly held by warm hands, and Huo Jingchen's voice rang out.
"Aren't you afraid of stepping on me?"
"You scared me, let me go, or I'll step on you." Xia Mi was so scared that she got goosebumps.
Huo Jingchen cooperated and let go of his hand.
Just when Xia Mi breathed a sigh of relief and threw back the quilt to lie down, the quilt was pulled back with great force, and someone next to her pressed down on her.
"It's so heavy... Get out of the way!"
Xia Mi felt like a wall was pressing down on her, making it difficult for her to breathe.
"So you're on top?"
"Wait a minute!" Xia Mi's face turned red. After a moment, a powerful force held her and rolled her over, changing her position.
Xia Mi gnashed her teeth in anger, "Huo Jingchen!"
Huo Jingchen's tone suddenly became innocent, "What's wrong? Didn't you say it was heavy? Now you can choose whether it's heavy or light."
"You are shameless, put me down..."
"It's too late."
The noise in the room died down in the second half of the night. Huo Jingchen turned on the flashlight and prepared to wipe her with hot water.
The faint light shines on the ceiling like a candle.
The person on the bed had a flushed face, and when the hot water touched her waist, Xia Mi suddenly opened her eyes.
She reacted excitedly, crawling under the quilt reflexively, and asked angrily, "Are you crazy?"
"I don't mean that. Come out and I'll wipe it for you."
Xia Mi propped up her heavy eyelids, made sure she was just wiping it, and slowly got out of bed.
Huo Jingchen wiped it carefully and saw that her black hair was scattered messily between her collarbones. A part of her hair was soft further down, and his throat rolled up and down.
Xia Mi sensed something was wrong, pulled the quilt and reached out her hand.
"Give it to me, I'll do it myself."
"I remember you have tomorrow off?"
