"Third brother, what happened to you last night? Didn't we agree to embarrass Huo Xiao? But you made a fool of yourself!?"
In the private gym, Huo Jie, who was dressed casually, stared at Huo Chen, who was angry and hitting the sandbag hard to vent his anger, and questioned him in a complaining tone.
Huo Chen slammed the sandbag a few times, then sat down on a chair nearby, sweating profusely. He took a sip of water, threw the cup on the ground, and said fiercely, "What are you yelling about?! Do you think I agree? It's like I saw a ghost yesterday and I can't remember anything. And even if I can't remember, you should be able to remember it, right? Why don't you say it? Do you have to make me say it?"
"I..." Huo Jie was speechless for a moment, frightened by his ferocious expression. His whole body trembled, and his voice became much softer. "Come to think of it, I don't know what happened yesterday. My mind was blank and I couldn't speak. Do you think Huo Xiao knew that we were going to expose his true identity and drugged us brothers in advance? It's just that we didn't know."
Huo Chen and I spun around, fists clenched, pounding on the seat. Anger quietly blazed in our eyes. "Drugs? Haha, he's really powerful! At this point, I have nothing to fear. I'm going to fight him to the bitter end! If we can't talk to him in person, then let someone else do it!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Jie quickly moved over and sat down, narrowing his eyes and asking, "What do you mean?"
Huo Chen raised his eyes to look at him, curled his lips and sneered, "What else could it mean? Of course, it means telling my good second brother's engagement news to my good junior Lu Yanxi. As a senior, I can't keep him in the dark forever, right? What do you think?"
"I say, third brother, you are such a good senior." Huo Jie and Huo Chen smiled at each other, both with ill intentions.
Since there was no class in the morning, Yan Xi accompanied Grandma Lu to the hospital.
The doctor said that Grandma Lu’s condition has stabilized recently and surgery can be arranged next month.
The two were extremely happy after hearing what the doctor said.
Yan Xi even planned for the future, how to make Grandma Lu live a happy life.
After Yan Xi sent Grandma Lu home, he hurriedly packed up his books and rushed back to school for his afternoon classes.
But when he arrived at the school gate, he saw Huo Chen looking at him with a smile from afar.
As soon as Yan Xi got out of the car, he walked over quickly.
Yan Xi didn't even have time to hide.
Being blocked, Yan Xi's good mood disappeared, and he said impatiently: "Don't you understand the principle that a good dog doesn't block the road?"
Huo Chen rarely got angry when he heard this. Instead, he smiled and said, "What's wrong? Why are you so angry? Is Lu Xuedi in a bad mood recently? Is it because you haven't seen my second brother for too long and you are not satisfied?"
Hearing this, Yan Xi's eyes were filled with coldness, and his gaze was as cold as ice. "Didn't I warn you last time? I told you not to scream anymore, but you still don't remember? Huh?"
Yes, he was indeed in a bad mood because of Huo Xiao's matter. He had finally felt a little better because of Grandma Lu's matter, but then he ran into this thing. Who wouldn't be angry?
Huo Chen couldn't even maintain his fake smile after hearing these words. His face froze, and he clenched his fists. He raised his hand and wanted to hit someone, but he forced himself to hold back halfway. He raised the corners of his lips, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes. "Lu Yanxi, I really don't know where you got the courage to talk to me like this. If Huo Xiao gave you this courage, then from today on, you'd better trample it under my feet, because he can't give it to you in the future."
Yan Xi's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?"
"What could it mean? Of course it's because my second brother is getting engaged." Huo Chen took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to him, his smile gradually growing. "Look, they met with both sets of parents yesterday."
Yan Xi lowered his head and looked at the photo in front of him. His pupils suddenly shrank, and the hands hanging by his side unconsciously clenched the seam of his trousers.
In the photo, Huo Xiao was holding Su Ying's waist and looking at each other tenderly. They were surrounded by elders whose eyes were full of blessings, just like a sweet newlywed couple.
Yan Xi didn't reach out to take it. He let go of his hand, but couldn't help shaking slightly.
He raised his head and looked at the gloating Huo Chen, his voice very calm, "It's just a photo, why should I believe you? Even if you want to take revenge on me, you can't use such a crude method, right?"
Huo Chen chuckled, flicked the photo nonchalantly with his fingers, and sighed in a fake manner, "Xiaodi Lu, you really trust my second brother 100%. Don't tell me, I'm a little envious of him. But envy aside, I still have a conscience. We're brothers, and I can't bear to see you being so infatuated with him while being kept in the dark. Here, look, the back of this photo has the time and place of their engagement. You can take it and ask my second brother if it's true."
Huo Chen forced the photo into Yan Xi's bag regardless of whether he wanted it or not.
After doing all this, Huo Chen stepped back and waved his hand with a smile, "By the way, I heard that yesterday was your birthday. Consider it my birthday present to you. Happy birthday to you, hahahahahaha..."
He laughed loudly, turned around and walked away leisurely, ignoring the strange looks from everyone.
Yan Xi watched Huo Chen disappear into the crowd little by little. Cold sweat broke out on his back and his legs suddenly went weak. He took a quick breath, adjusted his mentality, and managed to stand firm.
After a long pause, he lowered his head and looked at the photo that was not completely inserted. For the first time, he felt that Huo Xiao's smile was so dazzling.
It was so dazzling... He felt a little uncomfortable in his eyes, as if they were covered with a layer of mist.
Yan Xi raised his hand and put the photo into his hand with trembling hands, crumpling it bit by bit. He walked towards the trash can with slightly soft legs and threw it away decisively.
He has to hold steady.
Don't lose your composure.
He and that person have been in love for so many lifetimes. He has enough reasons not to believe Huo Chen's words, doesn't he?
Yan Xi adjusted his breathing, straightened his back and walked into the campus.
Huo Xiao would not lie to him.
Definitely not.
