"Dafu, are you comfortable?" Ruoyu was giving Dafu a massage when she heard Huo Qi receive an internal call.
"Oh? Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng has come to visit?" Huo Qi was still wondering what this kid Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng was doing here when he saw Huo Xian, who was with Lin Ruan Ruan, suddenly freeze in shock.
Lin Ruanruan's ears twitched. Xuan Yuan Haocheng? Isn't that the male lead? Lin Ruanruan glanced at Huo Xian teasingly. He must be here to find the female lead.
The storyline of the two main characters began when they were in the countryside. One was a poor rural girl, and the other was a rich young man who went to the countryside for recuperation.
The wealthy young man was attracted by the girl's intelligence and kindness, and fell in love with her early on. He even helped her with her studies and taught her difficult problems, and the girl regarded him as her savior.
Later, the rich young man's family saw that things were not going well and warned him that he had a fiancée. They forced him to go back, while the girl remained in the countryside, thinking that they would never see each other again.
The story takes an unexpected turn: the girl turns out to be the long-lost heiress of the Huo family, and the one who is actually engaged to the wealthy young master.
The two characters in the book went through many ups and downs before finally coming together, including many classic tragic love stories.
"Oh~ Your boyfriend is here to see you." Lin Ruanruan blurted out. Huo Xian pounced on her and rubbed her face, making her blush. "Ruanruan! Don't talk nonsense. He's just my friend and mentor."
Huo Xian's eyes darted around, and she didn't even know why she was blushing.
Suddenly remembering something, she felt a little guilty. "It seems like a few days ago, my mentor did say he would send me some materials..." But she thought he would have someone else send them over. Who knew he would send them over in person?
"It's alright, it's alright. Go and welcome them in, they're waiting." Lin Ruanruan hugged the cat and smiled happily. She was so excited to be able to ship a couple on the spot.
Huo Xian quickly called the butler over on the intercom and went downstairs to fetch the person. Lin Ruanruan shook her head and continued giving Dafu a massage. Turning her head, she saw Huo Qi still smiling at her and asked with some confusion, "Brother Huo, aren't you going?"
Huo Qi walked over and sat down next to Lin Ruanruan. When Dafu saw its owner, it tentatively stretched its head over for a pat. Huo Qi familiarly reached out and rubbed Dafu's chin, "She can entertain her own friends herself."
"Oh, right." Lin Ruanruan nodded knowingly. Neither of them remembered how enthusiastically Huo Qi had helped Huo Xian receive Lin Ruanruan that morning.
On the other side, Huo Xian enthusiastically led Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng in. Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng was stunned when he saw the much more cheerful Huo Xian. His ears turned red as he followed beside Huo Xian, and the corners of his mouth curled up almost imperceptibly.
"How have you been lately?" After a long pause, Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng finally asked this question.
Upon hearing this, Huo Xian's eyes crinkled into a smile as she thought of Lin Ruanruan. "That's great, every day is so fulfilling."
"That's good."
The two didn't exchange a single word until they reached the main hall. Lin Ruanruan guessed that they should both be back by now. "Brother Huo, can I go and see them?" she asked, wanting to ship them as a couple on the spot.
Huo Qi thought she wanted to see Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng, but remembering the boy's appearance, he frowned; he looked like someone who would seduce young girls. "Ruan Ruan, I have a question for you." He looked at Lin Ruan Ruan seriously.
"Hmm?" Why is Brother Huo suddenly so serious?
Will you ever have a relationship with someone too early?
"Puppy love?" Lin Ruanruan didn't understand why he would ask that. "No way~"
Huo Qi nodded in satisfaction. It was best to keep such a well-behaved little rabbit under his nose, lest some other brat steal her away. So he gave Lin Ruanruan a long list of examples of why early relationships were bad.
Lin Ruanruan was stunned by what she heard. She wondered if Brother Huo would become an obstacle on the road to love between the male and female leads. But then she remembered that the female lead seemed to only realize her feelings for the male lead after she became an adult, so she wasn't worried.
"Brother Huo, I promise I won't date too early. Early dating is unhealthy!" Reassured by Lin Ruanruan's repeated assurances, Huo Qi said, "Well, although you still have less than two years before you can start dating, you can't let your guard down now, understand?"
Lin Ruanruan nodded repeatedly, deciding to blindly like whatever Huo Qi said.
Huo Qi then led her downstairs with relief. As soon as they reached the bottom, they found Huo Momo standing with her back to them, shattered glass scattered on the ground. Huo Xian's face was dark, while the legendary male lead, Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng, remained expressionless.
"Xianxian, I know you don't like me, but it's not my fault," Huo Momo said pitifully. "Why did you embarrass me in front of Brother Haocheng?"
Lin Ruanruan's eyes widened. What was going on now? Was she already causing trouble after only being gone for a short while?
"You can't even hold the cup properly, why blame me?" Huo Xian found Huo Momo's behavior inexplicable.
It turned out that when Huo Momo heard that Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng had arrived, she felt that her chance had come. Her childhood dream was to marry Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng, but when Huo Xian returned, her dream was shattered.
She had to make Xuanyuan Haocheng realize that Huo Xian was not worthy of marrying him, and also make Huo Xian back down.
And so this scene unfolded: Huo Momo's voice trembled, and she looked as if she were about to break apart.
"Brother Haocheng, we grew up together since we were little. We used to be so close. How come everything has changed now?" Huo Momo said, glancing smugly at Huo Xian. It was she, Huo Momo, who grew up with Brother Haocheng, not Huo Xian.
"Are you going to do a 'shaking mushroom on the wall' kind of thing too?" Lin Ruanruan blurted out without thinking.
"What?" Huo Momo's expression went blank. She turned around and saw Lin Ruanruan standing behind her, holding Huo Qi's stinky cat, with Huo Qi by her side.
Huo Qi smiled and looked at Lin Ruanruan, "What kind of mushroom?"
