Chapter 131 What child marriage?
"What are you talking about? What do you mean I've been waiting for someone?"
Grandfather Huo Yuejiang looked strange and arrogant when he heard that, and he was almost blowing his beard and glaring.
Not only did he show up, but he was also very good:
"He's a writer. He's also very good at writing!"
"Yes, yes, brother Yu Mian is super good! I'll testify!"
Huo Yan on the side also jumped up and raised his hand to speak.
The old and the young made Huo Dong and his wife stunned.
Yu Mian just arrived at the door, and his face was already hot when he heard the sound of two people blowing his voice inside the door.
Help, can the huge filter of grandfather and Huo Yan really not be changed?
Huo Ting actually smiled a little at this, especially after noticing Yu Mian's fish-like movement of lowering his head.
"Don't you want to go in?"
Although Yu Mian always felt that it would take some courage to go in at this moment.
Especially when he faintly heard Huo Yan's chattering like a little magpie in the hall, Yu Mian really wanted to rush in to cover his mouth for a second and pack him up and take him away, but he was powerless.
He was exaggerating too much.
But in these few tens of seconds, Huo Yan was almost jumping up and down to describe his first encounter with Brother Yu Mian to the whole family.
After all, he was the first one in the family to discover Brother Yu Mian, and he was so excited, but he had to help keep the secret, and no one dared to tell it.
Huo Yan was really almost suffocated.
Now that he can finally share it with his parents openly, he must talk about it.
"I was very discerning at that time. I immediately found that the little fish in the conch shell was different! It was so beautiful, like a star shining in the water!"
Huo Yan even subconsciously praised himself and embellished his observation skills.
When Mrs. Inas heard Huo Yan's description, she felt that Huo Yan, who often failed his essays before, seemed to have improved his Chinese level a little bit.
Is it true that people get redder when they are around red people, and blacker when they are around black people?
"Don't you bother me? Don't scare me away by making so much noise."
Although Mrs. Inas knew her son Huo Yan's personality very well, she was still a little worried that Huo Yan would scare the young mermaid.
"Ah? How is that possible? Brother Yu Mian likes me so much. He even makes cakes for me and reads me stories. We are the best friends in the universe. If you don't believe me, wait for Brother Yu Mian to arrive and ask him if it's true."
Huo Yan got anxious when he heard what his mother said. He almost swore to heaven that his friendship with Yu Mian was known to heaven and earth.
Unexpectedly, the Inas couple looked at each other.
The young mermaid named Yu Mian could get along with someone like Huo Yan and even took such good care of him. I'm afraid he really has a good personality.
Even if he didn't have that origin with the old man, he would definitely have to thank him.
Although the couple's last look fell on the golden conch shell that Qiao Ni had helped to pack in advance for Yu Mian to take away this time.
"So the childhood marriage you arranged has really come true?"
Huo Ying couldn't help but reach out and touch the conch shell, and asked his father Huo Yuejiang beside him in a strange mood.
"But I guess Huo Ting's personality may not pay attention to such things, right?"
As an uncle, Huo Ying also knows Huo Ting's personality very well.
For a moment, he thought more long-term.
"Ah? Dad and Mom, what are you talking about!"
Unexpectedly, Huo Yan appeared.
"What is a childhood marriage? What is a childhood marriage?"
Shocked and curious, he pulled his mother Inas to ask, as if he understood something, but he was not sure.
"Young Master, please don't ask anymore."
Qiao Ni on the side couldn't help laughing, or at this moment, the attention of the whole hall was attracted by Huo Yan's super loud question.
Even the waiters standing not far away couldn't help wanting to laugh but tried hard to hold it back.
"I..."
Grandfather Huo Yuejiang just opened his mouth and heard a cough not far away. He turned around and saw that his beard almost flew off.
Huo Ting looked here expressionlessly, while Yu Mian on the side was so embarrassed and confused that he hesitated whether to put one foot on the ground.
What on earth did he just hear...
child marriage?
Yu Mian even wondered if he was hallucinating.
What did mom and dad say to grandpa when they gave him the conch shell that year——?
The whole place was silent. After realizing something was wrong, Mr. and Mrs. Huo Dong instinctively followed everyone's gaze and looked towards the lobby behind them.
The second after they looked at Yu Mian, even before Qiao Ni and the others beside them had a chance to introduce her, Mr. and Mrs. Huo Dong had already guessed her identity.
In the past, they had only heard the old man repeatedly describe and emphasize how amazing the mermaid couple was, and the more he talked, the more people began to question it.
Could such a dreamy existence really exist?
Could it be that after the old man survived a disaster, he had developed a certain preference for the benefactor who saved him? It was not
until she saw Yu Mian with her own eyes that Mrs. Inas was convinced that mermaids seemed to be born to be the favorites of God.
"Uh, sorry, we were just chatting casually just now... Huo Ting, did you take the guest back?"
Realizing that he seemed to have gotten into trouble, uncle Huo Dong tried to make amends, his hands were so tight that he was a little at a loss.
This was too rude.
"Dad, but you haven't told me what a baby is... Um!"
Huo Yan, who was the only one who didn't feel the atmosphere was wrong, continued to ask questions relentlessly. Huo Yan always had endless energy to investigate what he wanted to know.
But this time, Mrs. Inas covered his mouth and pulled him into her arms.
"I'm sorry, why didn't you go out to greet the guests in advance? How was the journey? Was everything going well?"
Mrs. Inas thought she was well versed in social etiquette, although she seemed quite deliberate at this moment.
So much so that Mrs. Inas, who had always been very strong, almost didn't notice her son Huo Yan, who was in her arms and couldn't breathe because she covered his mouth.
Help! Brother Yu Mian, help!
Huo Yan blinked frantically and tried to ask Brother Yu Mian for help, but it seemed that no one noticed him?
"Eat, eat, let's eat first! Qiao Ni prepared a very unique dinner today, right?"
Grandfather Huo Yuejiang stood up decisively and coughed for a while, and called everyone to go to the restaurant together.
"..."
Yu Mian looked at the embarrassed Qiao Ni who was trying to pass the golden conch shell to him. After taking it, he suddenly felt that the conch shell was hot.
So the system did not give him this initial reward for no reason?
"So you knew it a long time ago, right?"
He looked up at Huo Ting and asked in a low voice. The tone of questioning made people feel that they would not be offended at all.
But just when Yu Mian wanted to run away with the conch shell, Huo Ting held her with a smile.
"Can I explain it when I go back?"
Yu Mian covered the tip of his ear with one hand and held the conch shell in his arms with the other hand. He really wanted to know what Huo Ting could explain.
In fact, Qiao Ni really performed beyond her level today, leading everyone in the small kitchen to make delicious food beyond imagination, many of which were learned from Yu Mian.
Every time a new dish was served, Qiao Ni couldn't help but look at Yu Mian to see if he was satisfied with the food.
If she found that Yu Mian was eating happily, Qiao Ni would also be very happy.
Master Yu Mian is good in everything except that he is too thin. It would be better if he ate more.
Inas and his wife also soon discovered that not only their youngest son Huo Yan had a good impression of this mysterious mermaid guest, but the whole family seemed to be very friendly to Yu Mian.
Even Huo Ting...
Huo Dongshi couldn't help but ignore his wife Inas's warning eyes and quietly observed everything.
It's all very abnormal.
Huo Dong was sure.
"I forgot to mention that Huo Ting and I brought back a lot of gifts this time. Huo Yan, go get some and share them with everyone."
After Inas instructed Huo Yan to run errands, Huo Yan cheered and obediently went to get them.
If Mom and Dad prepared gifts, they must be super luxurious!
And Brother Yu Mian must have a gift as well.
"It's mainly because of the gift you sent, Huo Ting, that reminded me. I didn't think so carefully before, and it's amazing that the things you bought are all very professional. Did you do your homework?"
Mrs. Inas distributed gift boxes while smiling and mentioning the intergalactic package she had received before.
"After being married for so many years, Huo Dong probably doesn't know these brands."
When Aunt Inas mentioned the gift package filled with all kinds of high-end skin care products, Huo Dong, as an uncle, recalled the feeling of being backstabbed and looked at Huo Ting.
His eyes were full of doubts and condemnation, as if asking when did you get it.
Shouldn't the men discuss and send gifts to the ladies of the family together?
"What? Brother, you actually sent a gift to mom?"
Hearing this, Huo Yan also moved his eyes with a sharp gaze, trying to look at Huo Ting.
This is not like the character of my cousin at all.
"What gift?"
However, Huo Ting frowned and had no impression that he had sent a gift to Aunt Inas.
"Isn't it? Hals later told me that you also sent a copy to the old lady. Speaking of which, Mom's tour group should be back soon, and your days of staying up late to fish seem to be over again."
Inas reminded with a smile, and what he said successfully made Huo Yuejiang fidget.
With his wife back, he really had to be controlled again:
"But sea fishing is something like that, well... it's hard for people who don't understand it to understand the fun of it."
Seeing that the topic and attention were finally not on him, Yu Mian quietly breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously hugged the conch shell on his legs. As
his thoughts drifted, he couldn't help but ponder what kind of oolong his parents had done back then.
Although I always knew that they had different personalities and often forgot things, I still remembered the experience when I was careless and held myself in my arms to enjoy the sea breeze and the sea view when I was a child, which caused me to have a fever the next day and I was almost scolded by my grandmother.
But how can you make a decision on a child marriage without telling the child?
But if my parents are really mermaids, they don’t even seem to have told me that they are mermaids.
It’s really hard to deal with such careless parents.
If Huo Yan’s parents were a little bit reliable, it wouldn’t be so difficult for a child to guess, okay.
"This is yours, take it."
"...Thank you!"
Just when Yu Mian was distracted, Mrs. Inas smiled and handed Yu Mian a gift box in her hand, and Yu Mian hurriedly thanked her.
Huo Yan's mother is really beautiful, a standard beauty from the Federation Star, and she is also very kind.
"No need to thank me. Actually, I am really sorry that Huo Yan has bothered you for so long. That boy is annoying, right? And he talks a lot."
Mrs. Inas couldn't help but take the opportunity to chat and legitimately looked at Yu Mian a few more times, and the smile on her face became a little deeper.
After all, after appreciating her up close, you will find that she is really too beautiful, so that you will have an incredible sense of surprise.
"Fortunately, Huo Yan is actually very smart, and most of the time he is also very obedient and sensible."
Yu Mian looked at Huo Yan who was crazy and wronged, and smiled and explained for Huo Yan.
"Indeed, Madam Inas, Young Master Huo Yan has read a lot of extracurricular books now, and he will probably make great progress in this final exam."
Qiao Ni also started to speak well of Huo Yan, praising him in various ways.
Huo Yan then looked at his mother with satisfaction.
"You are just too indulgent to him. I still know what kind of character he has."
Inas rubbed Huo Yan's head while looking at Yu Mian, and the more he looked at her, the happier he became.
After all, as a famous beauty in the Federation, Inas herself also likes beautiful existences, and Yu Mian is pleasing to the eye even if she is sitting here.
Her personality is completely different from Huo Yan and Huo Ting. She is the kind of ideal younger generation that Inas wants to take Yu Mian out shopping and even introduce her to her good friends.
"It's a pity that I didn't have time to prepare a gift separately this time. If I had known earlier, I would definitely have given an extra one. Please accept it first and I will give it to you later."
Inas smiled and handed the gift box to Yu Mian, explaining in a natural and intimate manner.
"But you actually forgot the gift that you personally gave me?"
Inas held Yu Mian's hand and didn't want to let go, while looking at Huo Ting suspiciously.
Huo Ting, who was suddenly named, actually remembered it silently.
But the reason behind this seems to be difficult to explain...
You can't say that you didn't want to be found out that something was wrong at the time, so you simply packed three copies to cover it up, and let Hals send the extra ones?
=.=
"The Brilliant Essence was extremely popular at the time. There was a lot of it in the gift box. The other brands were also big names. Did you ask a shopping guide for recommendations?"
"Come to think of it, if it's a special species, the Brilliant Essence can also repair scales. Do you want to try it next time? Do mermaids also have scales that need care?"
The more Mrs. Inas talked, the more she felt that she should take Yu Mian out for a walk sometime to make up for this gift for their first meeting.
Although it was also because Yu Mian was so beautiful that Mrs. Inas inexplicably wanted to dress up.
"Brilliant Essence..."
This term seemed to be quite far away, but after Yu Mian reacted, he subconsciously looked at Huo Ting.
Didn't he write a little note and ask Huo Ting to help him buy it?
As a result, this guy went with Secretary Hals to buy a large bag of super many kinds of skin care products. Except for the brilliant essence, he didn't use them all. They
are still piled up in the study cabinet.
Mrs. Inas looked at the two guys with a suspicious guess, and her eyes looked at Huo Ting with subtlety.
Could it be that Huo Ting's personality made it no coincidence that he suddenly remembered to buy those things?
"Well, I didn't remember much after I asked Hals to send it, but I did prepare a gift."
Huo Ting was focused on by several eyes at the same time, so he looked away and explained silently.
Did Yu Mian realize that this topic was still about him?
Huo Dong, Huo Yan and even the grandfather who were not far away were completely confused, not knowing what was going on.
"If you look at it this way, it turns out that we have known each other for a long time."
Mrs. Inas smiled and shook her head, and when she looked at Yu Mian, the smile in her eyes was so strong that even Yu Mian could hardly bear it.
Help, what the hell is Huo Ting doing.
Orz
"And Yu Mian is a super good writer, mom and dad, you must read it! It seems that the new book is a story about scientists! But I am restricted by age again."
However, Huo Yan habitually couldn't sit still. When he saw that no one was talking, he immediately began to seriously recommend Yu Mian's new book.
I had been looking forward to it for a long time, but I was stopped by the age limit again, saying that some of the content in it was not suitable for children to read.
This is really too frustrating.
But of course my parents can read it, and I must make them become loyal fans of Brother Yu Mian!
"Oh, really? You can ask us if you have any writing details. We have some understanding of experimental research."
Huo Dong looked at Yu Mian with interest. He didn't expect that this mermaid's new book was actually related to scientific experiments.
"No, no, it's not a scientific experiment in the traditional sense. There may be a huge gap between it and reality."
Yu Mian almost wanted to put a cap on Huo Yan's head, asking him not to work so hard to promote his book to me anytime and anywhere.
I am really grateful to Huo Yan, this fan. Yu
Mian was very moved and desperate at the same time, as he wanted to promote Mr. Fish Soup Noodle's book automatically 24 hours a day .
"I will definitely read it if I have a chance. No, I will check it out tonight to see if it can be downloaded on the optical computer?"
Huo Dong almost took out the optical computer to search.
"It's better not to read it at night. The story of the new book may be completely different from what you imagined. It's more appropriate to read it during the day."
Fortunately, at this moment, Huo Ting finally spoke up to stop him.
He successfully stopped his uncle Huo Dong from picking up the optical computer and thought about it with great curiosity.
Can't read it at night? It's best to read it during the day?
What exactly is written in this book?
Yu Mian, who was sitting on pins and needles, almost breathed a sigh of relief. Is Huo Ting still useful?
After dinner, even if Mr. and Mrs. Inas were interested in the child marriage between Yu Mian and Huo Ting, they still went to the park hand in hand with their youngest son Huo Yan, whom they hadn't seen for a long time, to walk and talk.
At least Inas knew that if Huo Yan continued to stay here, it would be difficult for the two young men to explain.
Grandfather Huo Yuejiang stroked his beard for a long time before hesitatingly taking out the old photo.
"Look, it's this photo. Your parents also touched it back then. Isn't it cute? Then, ahem, we adults hit it off and arranged a baby marriage."
Although thinking back, the parents of the two families did seem to be quite nonsense back then.
Could this be the reason why he and Yu Mian's parents can talk so well?
They are all passionate people.
What's more, the two young men standing together are indeed pleasing to the eye.
"But this kind of thing, well, it's up to you guys. What we adults say definitely doesn't count, right?"
Huo Yuejiang finally patted his knees and stood up from the sofa. He glanced at Yu Mian and Huo Ting and was ready to run away.
In this kind of thing, the more the elders get involved, the more chaotic it will be.
While his wife hasn't come back yet, he still has to go back and urgently clean up the precious fishing rods that are scattered all over the room.
In fact, this is always the case after every family dinner. After
Huo Dong and his wife took Huo Yan away, their grandfather would go upstairs or go out for night fishing.
Huo Ting thought he would get used to going back to the study alone forever.
But this time, it seemed to feel good to be pushed back to the study by Yu Mian.
Yu Mian kept the study room of the old house closed tightly, and only turned to look at Huo Ting after making sure that there were no outsiders.
It seemed that as long as he was justified enough, the atmosphere would not become strange.
"Don't you think there are many things that need to be explained?"
Although Yu Mian had imagined the scene countless times during the meal, the atmosphere still became a little subtle after looking at Huo Ting at this moment.
Because Huo Ting was lowering his eyes and carefully looking at the golden conch shell in his palm, and the black hair around his ears was swaying slightly in the night breeze outside the window.
Inexplicably, Yu Mian recalled the first time he hid in the jar and was brought back to the study by Huo Ting.
At that time, in order to disperse his blood and not be discovered by his family, Huo Ting opened the window before he fell into a coma. The extremely bright Central Star City center not far away was still very prosperous even when night fell. The
starry sky and fireworks were quite different from the quiet and deep Starry Lake.
"This conch shell doesn't count..."
Yu Mian couldn't help but reach out to take her conch shell back from Huo Ting, but soon Huo Ting, who didn't let go, looked at her.
The fingertips that touched each other became a little hot, and Yu Mian retracted his fingers instantly.
After knowing this child marriage, holding hands like before, Yu Mian, who finally got a little bit of knowledge, began to feel that he couldn't bear it.
Something is wrong, this is too wrong...!
Huo Ting, who noticed this, couldn't help but chuckle.
In fact, Yu Mian had been too frank before, which really made Huo Ting, who was very unfamiliar with this kind of thing, not know how to deal with it.
There seemed to be no one around to consult or advise, such as taking Hals to buy skin care products before. Huo Ting was sure that it would only make things worse.
It was like no one would ever understand what it felt like to be held by the shore and smiled at the people on the shore while Yu Mian swung his fish tail in the water.
"The agreement between my grandfather and them is indeed invalid."
When Yu Mian heard this response, he immediately looked up at Huo Ting, even though Yu Mian himself was not aware of the emotions in his eyes.
"…That's right. It's the interstellar age now. If you have someone you like, you must be free to fall in love."
Even his own book doesn't write about child marriage!
Yu Mian inexplicably looked away, and while continuing to try to pry open Huo Ting's hand to take back the conch shell, he muttered to himself and explained. But he didn't expect Huo Ting to praise him so frankly.
"Indeed."
"Indeed? Do you have someone you like?"
Yu Mian, whose mood was a mess, couldn't help but stop what he was doing.
What's the matter with such an understanding tone ?
Huo Ting lowered his eyes to look at Yu Mian's expression, and for a moment he seemed to be a little unsure whether those books were written by Yu Mian himself.
Or maybe when watching the movie "Eternal Night Rose", Yu Mian's blushing and cunning words, "Where else did you learn these? I just wrote them randomly based on my imagination" were indeed the truth "truer than pearls".
"Yeah."
Yu Mian: "......!"
Yu Mian was stunned for a moment, and Huo Ting added the second half of the sentence:
"He is very good-looking and has a good personality, but the most important thing is that he is very talented and can write articles, and he also has a golden fish tail that likes to flutter when he is in the water."
When Huo Ting stared at Yu Mian and said the last sentence carefully, under the clear light of the full moon hanging high in the sky, the cool night breeze even blew his hair in one place.
"So you can consider it, starting from now?"
