Chapter 169 Do You Believe in Past and Present Lives?
Su Wanru's light and smiling words sounded like thunder to Huo Jinze.
Xiao Dingkun, talking to Fubao?
Are the two of them already talking?
This information entered Huo Jinze's ears, and he couldn't understand its meaning for a long time. He only knew that it was a bitter message for him and he didn't want to accept it at all.
He looked blankly at Fubao opposite him, only to see Fubao with a slight smile on his face, his cheeks tinged with a hint of blush, like a little peach blossomed red by the spring breeze in March.
The eighteen-year-old girl is fresh and gentle, with a bit of shyness of first love.
At this moment, the amazement I felt when I first saw Big Roller Mountain, the inexplicable contempt I felt afterwards, and all the misunderstandings in between, all came to my mind.
So when he finally understood what was stirring in his heart, was it already too late?
Huo Jinyun quickly noticed something was wrong with his brother and asked in surprise, "Jinze, what's wrong with you?"
At this moment, Huo Jinze's handsome face was pale, with even some sweat seeping out of his forehead. He gritted his teeth, and there was even a trembling sound from his teeth.
Su Wanru also looked at Huo Jinze worriedly. She just told the truth, why was it such a big blow?
She thought that Huo Jinze just had some feelings for Fubao, a light one, so she thought it would be better to tell him the sooner and give up the idea to avoid trouble in the future.
Fubao was naturally puzzled. He was fine before, why did he suddenly become like this?
Huo Jinze took a deep breath and tried hard to recover. He raised his head and glanced at Fubao, clearly seeing the worry in those clear eyes.
A bitter smile appeared on his lips, and he shook his head with difficulty, feeling indescribable sadness in his heart.
He actually has a cold personality. He would not easily look down on anyone, nor would he treat anyone badly in front of them. However, he showed his disdain for Fubao again and again, and even mocked her. Why?
To him, the word love is very far away and almost impossible, but once the seed is buried in his heart, it will take root and sprout silently. By the time he realizes it, it has grown quietly and can no longer be pulled out.
Huo Jinze suddenly stood up and walked into his bedroom: "I'm fine, just a little tired. I want to go back and rest."
After saying that, he fled into his bedroom in panic.
Huo Jinyun and Fubao looked at Huo Jinze's body, which was even shaking a little, and were both puzzled.
Su Wanru understood in her heart, but she only sighed secretly: "Jinyun, go and see what's wrong with him later. Don't tell me if he's feeling unwell. It's easy to catch a cold in this cold weather."
Huo Jinyun nodded: "Let him lie down for a while first, I'll go over and take a look later."
Because of what happened with Huo Jinze, Fubao and Su Wanru were in no mood to talk much after dinner. Fubao said goodbye and Su Wanru was about to see him off, but Huo Jinze came out and looked at Fubao, saying, "Let me see you off."
Su Wanru was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and nodded: "Okay, I just need to discuss the wedding details with your brother. Jinze, can you help me deliver Fubao?"
Huo Jinyun was washing dishes in the kitchen at this time. When she heard this, she looked at Su Wanru in confusion.
Su Wanru said, "Go quickly, Jinze."
Fubao was slightly stunned, but didn't say anything, and went out with Huo Jinze.
After Fubao and Huo Jinze left, Su Wanru looked at Huo Jinyun, who was puzzled, and asked, "Didn't you notice what was on your brother's mind?"
Huo Jinyun thought of Jinze's appearance just now, and understood in his heart. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This silly child."
Initially, he did intend to have Jinze and Fubao be together. He felt that they were a good match and he also liked Fubao privately. If Fubao could become his younger brother's sister, that would naturally be great.
But he didn't expect that his younger brother would show such aversion to Fubao that the matchmaking could not be accomplished at all.
Suddenly, I remembered that I bought a fish to cook that day. Dingkun suddenly came in the cold weather and said without any context that he and Fubao were together.
Did he perceive Jinze's thoughts more keenly than himself?
——
It was very cold outside. Fubao was wearing a scarf, which held up his black hair. His snow-white cheeks were rosy because of the wind.
She put her hands in the pockets of her coat, pursed her lips and said nothing.
Just when Su Wanru said this, she had some idea of it, but she couldn't believe it.
Huo Jinze liked me? The arrogant Huo Jinze who ignored me?
Fubao pulled her scarf closer. She really didn't understand what was going on.
Did she have any contact with Huo Jinze? It seemed that none of it was pleasant. The only time they had a normal exchange was when he suddenly came to the school to find her, explained his misunderstanding, and she expressed her understanding. They both agreed that the matter was over.
To say he liked me? I really couldn't recall any trace of him.
Just when Fu Bao was confused, Huo Jinze spoke up: "Are you really dating Xiao Dingkun?"
Fu Bao was silent for a moment, then nodded gently: "Yes."
In this day and age, dating is not something that can be announced publicly. People tend to be more subtle and low-key, and Fubao is no exception. However, since he asked, she nodded.
Huo Jinze had already heard Su Wanru mention it, and now after confirming it with Fubao again, he smiled bitterly, turned his eyes away and looked into the distance.
This area is no longer a residential area. Most of the houses are low-rise. Coal briquettes piled up in the corners mixed with dead branches and leaves have become the most common scenery in winter. Not far away, a vendor selling frozen persimmons lets out a long shout, which is blown away on the street by the cold wind.
Huo Jinze suddenly remembered the day when they went to climb the Great Wall.
At that time, he couldn't stand steadily in the back of the car and lay on the ground. Fubao and her roommates laughed.
Later, he looked back and saw Fubao and Xiao Dingkun talking.
They weren't together at that time, they were just close.
If he had realized his thoughts and put them into action at that time, would everything have been different?
When Huo Jinze thought of this, his heart felt like it was stabbed by a knife, and the pain was so severe that he couldn't help himself.
He couldn't explain his feelings for Fubao. He didn't know him very well, so how could he invest so much affection in him? But now, whenever he thought of Fubao and Xiao Dingkun, he felt uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe, and he felt like he was going to die, as if Fubao was so important to him, someone so important that he couldn't lose her.
Fubao just nodded slightly. She didn't expect Huo Jinze to react so strongly. His body seemed to be trembling, and his face was pale and he didn't look like a normal person at all.
She was a little worried: "You, are you okay? Aren't you feeling unwell? How about I take you to the hospital?"
Huo Jinze looked at her with difficulty, his voice cold and hoarse: "It's okay."
Fubao: "Then... shall I take you home?"
He came out to see me off. If I just left like that and he really collapsed on the street, I wouldn't be able to explain to Teacher Huo and Sister Wanru.
Huo Jinze shook his head and refused: "No."
He smiled bitterly and said, "Go back. I want to stand alone for a while."
But Fubao looked at his shaky appearance, how could he possibly leave?
She had no choice but to look at the bench over there and said, "I'll help you sit over there."
Huo Jinze pursed his lips: "Okay, thank you for your help."
Fubao hurried forward, helped Huo Jinze over, let him sit on the bench, and sat there himself to observe his expression.
Huo Jinze felt Fu Bao's gaze and chuckled: "I told you, I'm fine. I just feel bad. Maybe I'll be fine after sitting for a while."
Maybe it will be fine after sitting for a while, maybe it will never be fine again.
He looked at Fubao for a moment and said calmly, "Do you have anything else to do? You go first."
Fubao quickly said, "It's okay. I'll sit with you for a while. When you're okay, I'll take you home."
How could she leave him when he was already like this? If something really happened, not only would she feel sorry for others, she would also have trouble living with her own conscience.
Huo Jinze sat on the bench silently and said nothing more.
Fubao and Huo Jinze were not familiar with each other, so he felt a little embarrassed and worried, so he had to sit there quietly.
The wind was strong and her cheeks were blown red.
Huo Jinze suddenly asked, "Fubao, do you believe in past lives and present lives?"
Fu Bao was slightly surprised: "Why did you suddenly bring this up?"
Nowadays, everyone believes more in science, the four olds have long been broken, and few people would bring up topics such as past and present lives.
Huo Jinze: "I always feel that I must have had a past life."
Fubao: “Oh…”
She didn't know how to respond to what he said.
The main reason was that she didn't think she and Huo Jinze were familiar enough to discuss such great life philosophies with him.
Besides, she has her own secrets.
She was born to Yu's parents, but when she was just born, she was probably in a state of confusion and ignorance. She only became conscious when she was thrown into the Big Roller Mountain.
But the Buddhist music and the lotus pond water in her memory were not from when she was at home.
She avoided the topic and didn't want to talk about it much.
Huo Jinze had no idea that Fu Bao was already thinking about this. He murmured in a blank and cold tone, "I always feel that I must have had a previous life, and as I was walking along in this life, I don't know how I lost the most important thing from my previous life."
His words were incoherent, and Fubao was filled with worry: "Are you really sick? How about I take you home, or go directly to the hospital?"
Just as Huo Jinze was about to speak, he heard a voice: "Fubao, why are you here?"
The voice is deep and pleasant.
Fubao looked up and saw Xiao Dingkun.
He was wearing the gray scarf she had knitted and a thick coat, standing there looking at her.
Fubao smiled immediately and felt relieved.
"Brother Dingkun, Jinze seems to be feeling unwell. Please take a look at him. Do you want to take him to the hospital?"
