Chapter 168 Huo Jinze's Regret
Everything was discussed, even the time was arranged. Ning Huiyue discussed it with Yu Anmin again. Seeing that his old father and wife were very enthusiastic, Yu Anmin of course agreed. Everyone was full of expectations.
So when they saw the Gu family off the next day, neither side felt sad at all. They just waved goodbye with a smile and said they would see each other again during the Chinese New Year and would be able to witness the wedding of the newlyweds.
After seeing her family off, Fubao went back to school. She was busy with her studies and was about to take an exam, so it was not possible for her to go home every few days. She could only go back two or three times a week. She also had to find time to attend Ning Huixin's dance class, so she was very busy.
On this day, Fubao finally finished his exams and the school was about to close for the holidays. His roommates were eager to go home and packed up their things to go home. Fubao also packed up a little and planned to stay at Yu's house. After a few days, Yu Anmin and Ning Huiyue would also have their holidays, so they could go back to Dagunzi Mountain together.
But before that, she ran to find Su Wanru again, wanting to see how Su Wanru was preparing and if she needed any help.
Su Wanru's home was close to Huo Jinyun, but her house was not an apartment building, but a tube-shaped room. The family was crowded there, with no room to talk.
She was obviously very happy to see Fubao, so she pulled Fubao to Huo Jinyun's house and talked to him about this and that for a long time with great interest. Huo Jinyun poured some water to make tea beside them, and didn't say much either. He just listened to them with a gentle smile.
Su Wanru was getting excited when she looked at Huo Jinyun and said, "Please step aside for now. We have something private to discuss and we can't let you know!"
Huo Jinyun smiled: "Okay, you guys tell me, I'm just going out to buy some food, what does Fubao like to eat?"
Fubao said hurriedly: "No, I have to go home later."
She now naturally says "going home" when she goes back to Yu's house.
Su Wanru insisted, "No, don't go back. Let's eat here. I'll ask Teacher Huo to make you something delicious. I still have a lot to say to you!"
Huo Jinyun also advised: "Fubao, if you don't eat here, you will nag me like a sister."
Fubao pursed his lips and smiled in response.
Huo Jinyun went out to buy groceries. Su Wanru pulled Fubao aside and asked mysteriously, "Fubao, tell me the truth. How did you and Dingkun end up dating?"
Fu Bao had guessed she would ask this, and now that she mentioned it, he was well prepared, his face calm and his heart not beating: "It will be fine if we get along for a while!"
Su Wanru: "Bah, Fubao, are you being polite? You're just supporting me like that? Tell me the truth, was it you who took the initiative or him? How did it become like this? Who brought it up first?"
Su Wanru's series of questions caught Fubao off guard: "Sister Wanru, please tell me about you and Teacher Huo first. How did you two—"
Su Wanru raised her hand and refused. "Now I'm asking you, Fubao. As your teacher, I'm asking you to answer the question. Was it you who took the initiative first, or was it Xiao Dingkun?"
Su Wanru put on her teacher's airs, and Fubao had no choice but to think hard. Finally, he blushed and said, "It should be, he should have taken the initiative..."
He was the one who gave me the gift first, and he often came to see me, so he should have taken the initiative, right?
Or is he nice to me just because he wants to be nice to me, and he didn't actually have that intention at the beginning?
Fubao suddenly became a little suspicious. When did he start to like her?
Su Wanru was a little unhappy when she heard this: "Oh, he was the one who flirted with you first! That's too much! At his age, he's still trying to get young girls. Isn't that bullying? Humph, our lucky baby is taken away by him!"
Fubao said hurriedly: "No!"
Su Wanru: "Why not? Tell me quickly, how did he hook up with you?"
Su Wanru's every word was full of flirtation, which made Fubao feel helpless. However, under Su Wanru's questioning, she had to try hard to recall her experience with Xiao Dingkun, and picked out a few things to talk about. Of course, she would definitely not tell anyone about the kiss in the cinema.
Su Wanru seemed to be thinking about it. "Well, actually, he's quite good to you. He's capable and smart, and he can succeed in anything he does. You won't suffer any hardship if you follow him in the future."
But then I thought, which man can Fubao endure hardship? Fubao is a born lucky baby. No matter which man she marries, she can only make him prosperous, but he will not make her prosperous.
When I think about it this way, I still lost money, a big loss.
The two were chatting animatedly when they heard the door open. Su Wanru thought it was Huo Jinyun, but it turned out to be Huo Jinze coming home.
Huo Jinze and Su Wanru are very familiar with each other. They have known each other since childhood. Now she is about to become his sister-in-law. They are very familiar with each other, but he did not expect that Fubao is also there.
When he saw Fubao, his expression was a little unnatural, his body slightly tense, and he said lightly: "Fubao is here too."
Fubao greeted him politely.
Su Wanru smiled warmly and said, "Jinze, Fubao will eat at home today. Your brother went to buy groceries."
Huo Jinze said softly, "Oh," and then sat down.
Fubao was a little surprised. Although Huo Jinze had talked to her last time and the two of them had reconciled, they were still strangers after all. She also knew that Huo Jinze had a cold personality, so he should have gone back to his room quickly.
I didn't expect him to sit down and show some hospitality, which was unlike his usual self.
Su Wanru was also a little surprised. She knew Huo Jinze's temper, and this was obviously not right. She looked at her brother-in-law who was about to take office, and then at the cute and lovely Fubao, and suddenly realized something.
Is my brother-in-law interested?
But...but Fubao is already dating Xiao Dingkun.
Huo Jinze's eyes fell lightly on Fu Bao: "The Yu family will also go back to attend the wedding, right?"
Fubao nodded: "Yes, my grandfather, parents and brother are all going back. Brother Shengtian and I will go with them. We will all celebrate the New Year in Pingxi Village."
Huo Jinze nodded slightly.
With so many people going to Pingxi Village, it must be very lively there.
He suddenly remembered that year when he went to Pingxi Village to pick up his brother.
He was in such a hurry and had so many things on his mind that he didn't get a good look at Pingxi Village or the Big Rolling Mountain.
He only remembered that on the day he left, the houses and trees in Pingxi Village turned into blurry shadows, as if covered by a layer of light fog, and in the distance, children were shouting "Goodbye" loudly, as if the sound would never stop.
He still remembered a poem his brother Huo Jinyun had recited as the wheels of an oxcart churned along the country road: "The evening ay the fragraar. I remember all your looks."
In his brother's mind, what he remembers may be Dagunzi Mountain or Su Wanru. What about him? What should he remember?
He lowered his eyes and said calmly, "I'll be back by then, too, probably a day or two later than my brothers. What's your specific date?"
Fubao was slightly stunned. Is he planning to join them?
She thought for a moment and said, "It should be the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. What about you? When are you free on your day off?"
Huo Jinze had a hint of embarrassment on his face, but he still kept a straight face: "I also happen to have a day off that day, so I'll go back with you."
Forehead……
Although Fubao felt it was a bit strange, he didn't mean to refuse. He smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll discuss it with my parents and we can go back together."
Huo Jinze: "Have you bought your train ticket?"
Fubao: "Not yet, I can buy it when the time comes. Then I might as well buy it all at once."
The two of them talked intermittently about the incident at Dagunzi Mountain. Su Wanru next to them was a little worried. Others couldn't see it, but she could see that Jinze was tempted by worldly desires.
She was a little worried, wondering how to remind him verbally to make it clear that Bai Jiafubao had already talked to Xiao Dingkun.
Who knew that at this time, Huo Jinyun came back and started asking Su Wanru to help prepare the vegetables and meat. Su Wanru had no choice but to go over, and Fubao also hurried to help pick the vegetables.
The kitchen was too crowded and three people definitely couldn't fit in, so Fubao brought the vegetables to the living room to pick them. When Huo Jinze saw this, he squatted down and picked the vegetables with Fubao.
The living room was actually not very spacious, and two grown men were squatting there dealing with a handful of vegetables. They were so close that they could feel each other's breath.
Fubao felt something was wrong. It was too close and a bit inappropriate.
Up to now, apart from her father and brother, she has only been so close to Xiao Dingkun.
So she took the dish from Huo Jinze and said with a smile, "Let me do it. There's only a little left. It will be done in a few seconds."
The dish in Huo Jinze's hand was taken away. He was stunned for a moment and had to stand up.
There is no food to pick, so it’s no use squatting there.
After the vegetables were picked, Huo Jinyun and Su Wanru had almost finished cleaning the kitchen, so Huo Jinyun started to cook. Su Wanru came over to talk to Fubao. Huo Jinze looked at Fubao, and thinking of his previous refusal, he felt a little disappointed and went back first.
Su Wanru ran out of the kitchen specifically to mention the matter of Xiao Dingkun and Fubao in front of Huo Jinze, intentionally or unintentionally, so that Huo Jinze would know, "Silly boy, stop dreaming, because she is already taken."
However, as soon as she left the kitchen, Huo Jinze went into his room. She couldn't chase him to his bedroom to talk, so she had to give up.
During the meal, Huo Jinze came out, acting very aloof and not talking much to Fubao. Su Wanru couldn't figure out what her future brother-in-law was thinking. Finally, she thought about it and decided to speak up. So, she said casually, "By the way, Fubao, Dingkun will go back with you, right? This is Jinyun and I's wedding, he has to go."
Speaking of Xiao Dingkun, Fubao smiled and said, "Let's go back together."
Su Wanru glanced at Huo Jinze secretly, and saw that Huo Jinze was looking at Fubao without leaving any trace.
Following his gaze, she also looked at Fubao, but saw that there was softness and warmth between Fubao's eyebrows, just like the first blooming peach blossoms in the spring breeze in March, so touching and sweet.
Su Wanru sighed secretly. This is the girl immersed in love. Poor Huo Jinze, this fool who has a high IQ but doesn't understand love. I'm afraid he can't take his eyes off Fubao now.
So she cruelly said the next sentence: "Your parents are quite supportive of you and Dingkun's relationship. That's great. Everything is going well."
As soon as she said this, she saw Huo Jinze's expression next to her suddenly change.
He turned pale and dazed, then raised his eyes and looked at her with an expression of disbelief.
She smiled and nodded: "You don't know yet? Dingkun and Fubao are talking! Both sets of parents have met!"
