Huo Tingjun chuckled sheepishly. He glanced at Wen Xingyue's beautiful, fairy-like face. Bah! His sister-in-law was indeed a fairy. If his friends saw her, they would be green with envy.
Hmph, if they knew how beautiful their sister-in-law was, they would never dare to speak ill of her again.
Huo Tingjun harbored a secret desire to show off.
His sister-in-law is so beautiful, more beautiful than anyone he has ever seen. Such a beautiful sister-in-law belongs to their family.
Wen Xingyue is a Buddhist. She used to be bad-tempered and didn't have many friends in this world, so she didn't like to go out. She usually stayed at home watching TV and reading books with Huo Tingxiao in the room to better understand the world. Occasionally she would take a walk outside the yard, but when she encountered family members passing by, she would timidly shrink back into the house. She was a typical socially awkward person.
So, in all the time she's been in the human world, apart from going out once with Huo Tingxiao to find out who drugged Little Fatty, she hasn't gone out at all.
"This..." Wen Xingyue didn't want to go out because she would have to face a lot of people, but then she thought about all the food that Xiao Pang kept talking about, and just thinking about it made her mouth water.
There's so much delicious food!
She turned her head, looking at Huo Tingxiao who had just come out behind her, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.
[I really want to eat this, but I don't want to go out alone. I wish Huo Tingxiao could come with me, but he doesn't seem to like going out either. Maybe I should just wait for Xiao Pang to bring it to me every day.]
Wen Xingyue swallowed the words that were in her throat. She didn't want to face so many people and didn't want to go out. Huo Tingxiao didn't want to face them either. She decided not to make things difficult for him.
During this time, Huo Tingxiao didn't go out much because of his leg injury, which made Wen Xingyue think that Huo Tingxiao, like her, didn't like to face people.
"Do you want to pick him up? We can go together often in the future."
Her understanding words made Huo Tingxiao both amused and exasperated. He simply had a leg problem, which was why he rarely went out. How could she interpret him as someone who was just as afraid of facing people as she was?
The term "social anxiety" didn't exist at that time.
Huo Tingxiao had long noticed Wen Xingyue's tendency to avoid going out when surrounded by crowds.
She's a timid little peach blossom spirit.
Staying cooped up at home all day isn't good either, so now that there's something to entice her to go out, Huo Tingxiao naturally agreed.
She can eat whatever she likes. Everything in this era is made with real ingredients, and there's nothing rubbish in it. If she likes it, she can eat as much as she wants. Anyway, the Huo family can afford to support a little foodie like her, so they won't let her suffer from any loss when it comes to food.
"Is it okay? Is it okay?" Wen Xingyue really wanted to eat what Xiao Pang had mentioned.
The food in the human world is so delicious.
Just hearing the names Little Fatty rattled off made her mouth water; they sounded like really delicious food.
For the naive little peach blossom spirit, the food cooked by Wang Ma used to be the most delicious. But after eating the food that Xiao Pang brought her, her favorite food immediately shifted.
Huo Tingxiao's question was tantamount to completely tilting the already precarious balance in Wen Xingyue's mind.
Although Xiaopang will bring it to her, some things taste best when she eats them herself.
"Of course." The peach blossom spirit, who had just been listless, instantly perked up, and Huo Tingxiao agreed with a smile.
"Huo Tingxiao, you're so kind," Wen Xingyue praised with a smile.
Huo Tingxiao is so kind.
He praised her outwardly, but inwardly he was also secretly delighted.
Huo Tingxiao's smile deepened.
Gazing at the person with a bright smile, my heart fluttered slightly.
This girl is so naive. She just accepts anyone who's willing to go out with her and she's already handing out "friend cards" like crazy.
"Yay, yay! I'm going to let all my friends know that my sister-in-law is the prettiest, prettier than any of them."
Huo Tingjun was overjoyed.
What are you talking about? Why are you so happy?
Mr. and Mrs. Huo returned home from get off work. Hearing laughter coming from the living room, they stepped inside and smiled at their three children.
Ever since Xingyue came to their home, it has been a lively and bustling place every time they come home, which makes Mr. and Mrs. Huo very happy.
"Dad, Mom, you're back."
Wen Xingyue has a clear and pleasant voice.
"Mom, my sister-in-law promised to pick me up from school often."
Little Fatty happily shared his joy with his parents.
"Really? It's good for Xingyue to go out more. If there's anything you want to eat or buy, don't be stingy and just buy it. Mom will give you the money later."
Mr. and Mrs. Huo were also pleased to hear this.
Xingyue's personality has changed. She doesn't like going out anymore. Before, she would at least go out and shop whenever she was unhappy, or even chase after that man, making them worry.
But now she doesn't go out, and they're worried she'll get bored.
"hey-hey."
Wen Xingyue could sense that Huo's mother and the others were genuinely happy for her. Although she didn't know what they were happy about, she was also happy because of their joy.
...
"Now that the matter is resolved, Xiaojun should be fine as long as she gradually loses weight, right?"
After dinner, the family chatted in the living room. It was still early, and as summer approached, it got dark later. They couldn't go to sleep yet, so they sat in the living room chatting. Mr. Huo read the newspaper, Mrs. Huo knitted, Huo Tingxiao read a book, and Huo Tingjun did his homework. Accompanied by Wen Xingyue's clear, bell-like laughter while watching TV, the family was having a good time.
Thinking of the Qian family, who had already been dealt with, and glancing at her carefree son beside her, Mrs. Huo spoke with some trepidation.
The Qian family has been apprehended, so the youngest son should be safe, right?
In this short period of time, first her eldest son almost got into trouble, and then she learned that her youngest son was going to get into trouble in the future. One thing after another, Huo's mother felt that her mental state was deteriorating.
"Definitely not." Mr. Huo patted his wife's back to reassure her. The Qian family had already been exposed, so they shouldn't be in any trouble.
But to be honest, even Mr. Huo himself wasn't sure.
The future is long, who knows if my youngest son will have any more accidents...
Wen Xingyue, who was watching TV, overheard their discussion and turned to look at Huo Tingjun.
The Huo family noticed Wen Xingyue's gaze and slowed down what they were doing, holding their breath for fear of disturbing her.
[Little Fatty's fate has changed; he won't get into trouble anymore.]
Upon looking at him, Wen Xingyue immediately realized that his fate had changed.
Upon hearing this, the Huo family felt a huge weight lifted from their hearts.
My initial anxiety completely subsided.
They were still worried because they hadn't heard Xingyue say that her son was alright.
Upon hearing this, Huo Tingjun felt an urge to cry.
He won't get into trouble, and neither will his parents.
At this moment, the sadness I felt before when I found out that my best friend was the one who hurt me has faded.
My parents are still alive, and I will live a good life from now on.
