On the drive back, Qin Suisui looked somewhat annoyed. Qin Zhen noticed from the rearview mirror that his eldest daughter was in a bad mood, and the two did not speak to each other the whole way.
When Qin Weiwei got home, Wang Fang had already prepared lunch. When she saw her father and sister return, a smile finally appeared on her face.
"Sister, Dad, you're finally back!"
In the morning, her mother inexplicably lost her temper with her again.
If it weren't for Lunar New Year's Eve, she would have been so angry that she would have gone straight to her classmate's house and wouldn't have come back that night.
She pouted and glanced at Qin's father walking behind her.
"What's wrong with Weiwei?"
Qin Zhen looked at her youngest daughter and noticed something was wrong with her expression, so she quickly asked her with concern.
He glanced at Wang Fang, frowned, went into the house, and bent down to change his shoes.
Walking up to Wang Fang, he asked in a low voice, "Are you bothering Weiwei again for no reason? Can't you just shut up on New Year's Eve?"
Wang Fang felt somewhat guilty and could see her youngest daughter's restraint, so she opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing.
"Xiaofang, have you made lunch yet?"
"I'm going to my hometown this afternoon to pay respects at my mother's grave!"
Wang Fang glanced at him, feeling suffocated, and went back to the kitchen to arrange the dishes she had just cooked.
"Dinner's ready!"
Qin Zhen followed her in and saw that his wife had prepared the meal, and his expression finally improved.
He turned to look at his sisters who were standing in the living room talking.
"Sui Sui, Wei Wei, come and eat. I'm going to my hometown later."
Wang Fang threw her chopsticks on the table and rolled her eyes.
"You go, they're not going, what's the rush? I don't know what kind of rules your Qin family has, that you don't even allow girls to go to the graves, how strange!"
What do you know?
Qin Zhen chuckled softly, "Don't make things difficult for your daughters!"
"snort!"
Wang Fang snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Qin Zhen felt uncomfortable about what Xiao Fang said. All of his younger brothers had sons, while he had two daughters. Although he didn't have much of a preference for sons over daughters, he still felt uneasy.
The old father was a strict patriarch who handled everything in the family according to the rules passed down from their ancestors.
When visiting ancestral graves or paying respects to ancestors, his two daughters were always excluded.
He glanced at Wang Fang, who was still trying to speak, and glared at her.
He turned to look at his eldest daughter.
"Sui Sui, you and your sister can help Aunt Wang at home this afternoon. Your grandpa and uncles are coming over for New Year's Eve dinner tonight."
"Um!"
Qin Zhen glanced at his eldest daughter, whose expression remained indifferent, and opened his mouth as if to say something, but when he met his daughter's cold gaze, he gave up the idea.
He secretly sighed, thinking that she had grown up and no longer needed to consider his feelings.
After her father left, Qin Suisui went back inside.
She opened her phone, looked at her chat with Senior Brother Huo, typed a few lines of greetings, then felt it was inappropriate and ultimately deleted them.
She was just about to put down her phone when her phone showed a call from her senior brother, Huo.
She paused for a moment before answering the call.
"Senior Brother Huo!"
"Sui Sui!"
Huo Zhongyuan had just arrived in Huating and wanted to call Qin Suisui as soon as he got off the plane.
He looked at the interface with Sui Sui, but the other party kept showing that she was typing. After waiting for a while, he didn't see Sui Sui send any messages.
Thinking of Sui Sui's occasional shyness, he couldn't help but smile. He couldn't resist and dialed the number.
"What are you doing?"
Senior Brother Huo's voice was low, husky, and magnetic, making Qin Suisui's ears burn.
"I just got back inside. What about you?"
She spoke somewhat haltingly, racking her brains to find a topic to talk about.
"I just got back to Huating."
Huo Zhongyuan was driving back to the city, looking at the snow scene outside the car window.
"The snow is falling heavily in Huating. I wonder what the snow scene is like in the southern part of the city?"
Qin Suisui involuntarily stood by the window, looking at the pure white snow scene in the distance, imagining Huating through the eyes of her senior brother Huo.
"It should all be a uniform color, covered in silver."
"I really want to see the snow scenery in the south of the city with Sui Sui!"
As Huo Zhongyuan listened to the gentle voice on the other end of the phone, a tender feeling welled up in his heart.
I don't know when it started, but just listening to her voice brings me peace and tranquility.
He was a restrained and patient person. The chance encounter in his youth only deepened his impression of her, and did not generate much romantic feeling in him.
When you meet someone on campus and see someone from your childhood memories, you feel a warmth in your heart. If you stop occasionally, you just take a quiet look. That look is a way for her to reminisce about the old people and things from the past.
Who could have known that after several years apart, when they met again and she was single, the love he had once suppressed would become uncontrollable?
Each time they meet, his love deepens, and even now, he can feel desire over the phone.
Even after hanging up the phone, Qin Suisui was still somewhat dazed, her mind replaying the words that Senior Brother Huo had just said.
Gradually, love began to grow in her heart.
Sitting in front of the dressing mirror, the girl's cheeks were as rosy as if they had been tinted with rouge.
Just then, a new post appeared prominently in my WeChat Moments.
She opened her WeChat Moments and was surprised to see that her senior brother Huo had posted a new message.
I want to see you now! Right now!
The background is a snowy scene in the sky above Ocean International Airport.
Huo Zhongyuan's WeChat Moments is about to explode. On New Year's Eve, Huo Zhongyuan, who is known as an unyielding lover, actually posted an exclusive declaration of love on his WeChat Moments, which can be considered an official announcement.
Everyone is secretly speculating whether this person is about to get married.
Fu Bowen dialed his number directly.
"What's up?"
Huo Zhongyuan's voice remained indifferent on the phone.
"Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo, am I going to have a sister-in-law soon?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhongyuan couldn't help but smile.
"It will be soon, probably after the New Year."
"Wow, it really is."
Just now, Fu Bowen was speculating whether Huo Zhongyuan's phone had been pranked or infected with a Trojan.
Sending those ambiguous messages? That's completely unlike Huo Zhongyuan's style. I never expected it to actually come from him.
Fu Bowen was utterly amazed; this was like an iron tree blooming, and once it started, it was unstoppable.
