Chapter 317 Expectation
But after going through so many things, especially knowing that he had deceived him time and time again, Xu Qingsui no longer cared about the outcome.
The moment he subconsciously hid his phone, it seemed that it no longer mattered what the truth was. His actions spoke for themselves, didn't they?
Why should she continue to deceive herself? No matter what the final answer is, it will not make her truly happy.
Huo Xilin looked at Xu Qingsui with a dazed expression, as if he was thinking about something.
Feeling a little flustered, he quickly stood up and walked over to her.
Seeing her wet hair wrapped in a towel, he pulled her back to the room, found the hair dryer and wanted to blow-dry her hair as usual.
However, Xu Qingsui rejected it.
She took the hair dryer back from him and said politely, "Thank you, I'll do it myself."
This polite attitude seemed to create a world of distance between the two of them, making Huo Xilin very uncomfortable.
But when he thought that she was angry with him because of Yan Xisui, even if she was just jealous and upset, his unhappiness immediately disappeared.
He snatched the hair dryer back: "Just sit there and enjoy your husband's service."
After saying that, he skillfully helped her blow dry her hair.
Xu Qingsui was very resistant, but when he thought about how he could never win over him, he felt that there was no point in fighting, so he simply gave up.
Suddenly she asked, "Boss Huo, besides helping me blow dry my hair, have you ever blow dried hair for other people?"
Xu Qingsui's question made Huo Xilin secretly happy. She was indeed jealous!
"Yes!" he answered decisively.
Xu Qingsui originally thought that he would lie to him, but he didn't expect that he would be so frank. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should be relieved or sad.
She blurted out, "Who is it?"
She already had the answer in her mind, but when faced with the answer given by Huo Xilin, she was still a little nervous.
She regretted asking such a stupid answer. How would she respond when he really said that name?
Xu Qingsui smiled self-deprecatingly. She was probably the only one who brought such humiliation upon herself.
However, what Huo Xilin said was not the answer in her heart.
"Son, have you forgotten that when we were in Bishui Hua Ting, I was the one who helped blow dry his hair many times. You and your son are the only two people who can make me willing to do these things. To be honest, even my mother didn't get this treatment."
Xu Qingsui suddenly looked up and looked into Huo Xilin's sincere eyes. It didn't seem like he was lying.
"What about your first love? You love her so much, are you reluctant to blow her hair yourself?" As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qingsui wished he could slap himself twice.
Today, she seemed to be possessed by another spirit, and she kept saying many things that she shouldn't have said.
Huo Xilin was stunned for a moment, and even stopped what he was doing.
He looked at Xu Qingsui with a very gentle look in his eyes: "To be honest, I did blow dry my first love's hair."
"Oh." Xu Qingsui turned his head back. Although she was a little unhappy in her heart, she could accept it. Compared with his sweet words and coaxing, the truth would make her sad, but at least it would not make her sad.
After all, she didn't exist when he was with his first love, so he naturally didn't do anything wrong to her. As long as they were honest with each other, what was unforgivable?
It turned out that what she had always cared about was his deception of her and his painstaking concealment of the truth.
Huo Xilin's face suddenly leaned forward: "What's wrong, are you unhappy after hearing that I blew my first love's hair?"
Xu Qingsui said honestly: "A little bit, but I can understand. If you hadn't blown her, I wouldn't believe it."
"Why?" Huo Xilin raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.
"Because although you are unkind in front of outsiders, you are very kind to your beloved. Your first love must be the most beautiful memory for you. She must have been an important person to you. It is normal for you to be kind to her. On the contrary, if your attitude towards her is the same as that towards outsiders, it is abnormal. I would not believe it even if you told me."
Xu Qingsui's words left Huo Xilin speechless.
He nodded honestly: "You are right, first love is the most beautiful memory for me. I am very lucky that she appeared in my life and is still by my side."
Xu Qingsui: “…”
Her astonished eyes seemed to be gradually spewing flames, and Huo Xilin suddenly laughed heartily. It was rare for him to be so happy.
Xu Qingsui's anger was instantly extinguished.
Although Huo Xilin is only in his twenties, heavy burdens have been placed on his shoulders too early, so his style of doing things is much more mature and stable than his peers, and his temperament is not inferior to that of successful middle-aged men in their forties or fifties.
But even such a man, laughing heartily at this moment, has a rare youthfulness.
Xu Qingsui seemed to see through him the high-spirited young man of his youth, and even had the illusion for a moment that she had once been with this young man.
Xu Qingsui suddenly asked: "Huo Xilin, did we know each other before?"
The laughter stopped abruptly. Huo Xilin's eyes were a little evasive. He did not answer her question, but asked: "Why do you ask that?"
"Nothing, I just think you look like a friend I know. I've been having a dream these days that we grew up together as children."
"Then do you think we knew each other when we were young?" Huo Xilin looked at Xu Qingsui with anticipation in his eyes.
Xu Qingsui shook his head and said nothing.
Huo Xilin's expectant gaze dimmed little by little, and then turned into relief. He rubbed Xu Qingsui's head and said, "Okay, don't think too much, and go to bed early."
After saying that, he rubbed the ends of her hair to make sure it was dry. Then he put away the hair dryer, took the bathrobe and went to the bathroom to wash up.
After Huo Xilin left, Xu Qingsui took out the photo from his backpack and looked at the two little people in the photo over and over again. He didn't understand why Huo Xilin was unwilling to tell him the truth.
Could it be that the Huo family’s grievances are really related to him? Or is he also a victim?
She couldn't wait any longer on this matter and had to find Ms. Zhou as soon as possible to find out the truth of what happened.
For three consecutive weeks, every Friday Xu Qingsui would prepare the money, and then throw the money into the trash can according to Lu Jingyu's request, and then Lu Jingyu would take it out disguised as a sanitation worker.
After the last batch of money was delivered, Xu Qingsui asked Lu Jingyu: "Do you know where Ms. Zhou is now?"
