Chapter 311, Pair
Huo Sichan was silent, and Huo Lingyin thought he was shy.
She looked like someone who had experienced this, and spoke earnestly, "Huo Sichan, meeting my aunt this time has taught me a lesson—when you live in this world, you must always live for yourself. Look at my aunt, she fought for marriage, for her family, but what was the result? Before she died, the only thing she could think of was the man who had been dead for twenty-six years."
Of course, Huo Zhiju had no choice or retreat at that time, but they were different. They were still alive. Although this doomsday made survival difficult, at least they were still alive, right?
Huo Sichan knew what she wanted to express.
For the first time, he felt that she had truly grown up, no longer the little girl who would get jealous with others over trivial matters...
As he was sighing, Huo Lingyin behind him suddenly stopped.
Huo Sichan heard her utter a few words through gritted teeth: "That guy!"
He subconsciously raised his eyes.
Two people were standing at the main entrance of the Huo family compound. The man was holding the woman's shoulders. From their perspective, it seemed as if the two were hugging each other intimately.
It was Huo Heng and Huo Lingge.
After seeing the two people's condition clearly, Huo Sichan suddenly clenched his hands that were placed flat on his legs.
"Yo." Unlike her brother's silent response, Huo Lingyin interrupted the seemingly ambiguous man and spoke in a long and sinister tone, "It seems that we came back at the wrong time."
After helping Huo Lingge to stand steadily, Huo Heng had already let go of his hand. When he heard Huo Lingge's voice, he turned to look at her, a hint of joy in his eyes.
"Captain, you're back!"
He didn't notice the sour aura emanating from his captain at all.
He walked quickly to her, bowed to Huo Sichan first, then just looked at Huo Lingyin, speaking a little faster than usual: "I heard Lingge say you were coming back today, and I was planning to go with Huo Shuai to the city gate to pick you up..."
His eyes, which had always been calm, were now filled with a soft light, as if fallen stars had appeared in them, clear and bright.
Huo Linyin: "...Yeah, I'm back." She was originally full of anger, but after meeting the man's clear eyes, all her anger disappeared in an instant.
Huo Sichan had a cold face. When he heard what Huo Heng said, he snorted lightly and pushed his wheelchair towards the compound.
Huo Heng, who had never been treated coldly by Huo Sichan, said: "?"
Her people were taught a lesson by her brother, and Huo Lingyin immediately turned on the protective mode: "Huo Heng, let's go back to the research institute—he's in menopause, I don't want to bother with him."
Huo Heng: "...Okay."
I sighed in my heart: These two siblings still hurt each other as soon as they meet. When will they let go of their prejudices against each other and get along well?
A blurry figure approached. Huo Lingge called out "Sister," and after greeting Huo Lingyin, she moved over to hold Huo Sichan's wheelchair: "I'll push you in."
"No need." Huo Sichan smiled, "Huo Heng has been very busy recently. You two finally meet, so have a good chat. I won't disturb you."
This sounded even more sinister than Huo Lingyin's words.
Huo Lingyin was quick to react: "Huo Heng stayed at the base, so why haven't we seen him for so long? Huo Sichan, you've lost your mind, so please don't bring harm to the innocent!"
Huo Lingge then explained: "I just slipped down the stairs, and Deputy Captain Huo happened to come over and helped me up. There's nothing wrong between us."
Huo Sichan, who was attacked from both sides: "..."
Huo Lingyin added, "Huo Sichan, you should resolve your own emotional debts yourself. Don't try to drag others into this situation."
After she finished arguing with her brother, she felt refreshed and gestured to Huo Heng: "Let's go."
Watching his sister swagger away, his eyelids twitched and he held his forehead: Really... When did I become so childish? To think that, for something like this, I'd lost my composure and sense of propriety.
"Are you jealous?" Once there were no outsiders around, Huo Lingge turned into a rogue. "Don't worry, since we've been so close, I naturally won't be attracted to other men~"
The eldest son of the Huo family, a handsome young man who grew up under the influence of gentlemanly etiquette, had never met a girl like Huo Lingge who discussed private matters in public.
"Who is with you..." He subconsciously wanted to scold her, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered the ambiguous marks on his neck that Huo Lingyin asked about, and his voice choked.
The white paper's face turned crimson deeper than the sunset glow.
Huo Lingge knew why he suddenly stopped. She laughed and said, "Don't blame me for what happened last night. You seduced me. You know I have a special liking for you. You seduced me so much, it's normal for me to lose control. Besides, I haven't made it to the last step yet~"
This was said like a little hooligan who was taking advantage of the situation.
Huo Sichan was angry: "Shut up!"
Huo Xuan was dead, and he had taken control of the entire base. Last night, he had drunk a bit of wine to deal with the captains of the special power team.
He wasn't good at drinking, and after drinking too much, he became a little confused... As a result, this stinky girl took over Butler Ning's job of delivering sobering soup, ran to his room, and took advantage of his unconsciousness...
The little girl doesn't know how to take care of herself and even publicizes it in public. Is this what he taught her?
Accustomed to his scolding and immune to it, Huo Lingge pushed the wheelchair through the garden corridor.
The wheelchair made a slight sound as it rolled over the wooden floor. She was in a good mood and hummed an unknown tune softly.
The soft and gentle tune was carried in the wind. Huo Sichan, who was about to continue scolding her, suddenly felt calm and could not say the words he had prepared in his mind.
After a long time, he sighed softly.
Forget it. If I had known she was like this, I would have been doing her a disservice by hiding it from her for so many years.
It's rare for her to be so relaxed in front of him, so let her be happy.
…
The members of the first team had already received the news that the captain was returning. On the way to the research institute, Huo Linyin kept greeting the team members who she "met by chance". It was half an hour later when they arrived at the research institute.
Because she had to deal with the eagerly awaited team members, Huo Heng just followed her quietly without disturbing her.
At this moment, there were finally only two people left. Huo Heng subconsciously quickened his pace and walked side by side with her. Just as he was about to speak, a figure rushed out from the side and headed straight for Huo Lingyin.
"Captain Huo! You're finally back!" The man put his arm around Huo Lingyin's shoulders and hugged her. "Do you know how much I missed you during the time you were away from the base?"
Huo Lingyin: “…cough cough!”
As the young lady of the Huo family and the captain of the first team, there are many men who play ambiguous games with her, many men who seek protection from her, and even more men who want to gain benefits from her. Therefore, before she makes her feelings clear... her male companions are as frequently changed as her clothes.
She has always been open to good-looking and clean men, but she has never taken them seriously. Now that she was in the man's arms, she thought for a long time but couldn't remember who this man was.
"Wait, you...you let go first--" Huo Lingyin struggled to push the man away, helplessly, "Handsome guy, let's talk it over. Don't touch me, I'll beat you up."
Remembering that she still had something to tell Jiang Ran, she turned around and looked at Huo Heng: "Ah Heng, you..."
"Oh."
One step away, Huo Heng looked at the two of them coldly, his eyes no longer filled with the surprise and joy he had when they first met.
Without waiting for Huo Lingyin to finish, he chuckled softly and walked around the two of them to the hall.
Huo Lingyin: “…”
She remembered what Jiang Ran had said. She said she walked through a sea of flowers without getting a single leaf on her. As someone who loved her, she would feel very insecure...
She immediately ran to the hall, not forgetting to turn back and break up with the man whose name she couldn't remember.
"I have been cultivating myself for many years. Just forget about me and go find someone who truly loves you! Goodbye!"
