Even though Xia Yiqian argued with all her might, she was no match for Huo Linxiao's cold face and rock-hard heart. In the end, she failed to get the snacks back and was even symbolically stuffed with a small box of cherry tomatoes, which was euphemistically called: tomato flavored, eat some when you're craving it.
Xia Yiqian: ...
It’s a cherry tomato, so what else could it taste like if not tomato?! You don’t have to be so perfunctory!!!!
No, she had to build more temples! Otherwise, she couldn't fill the wounds in her heart that had been hurt by the wronged man!
Ever since Xia Yiqian's tooth broke, all the food cooked in the kitchen that day was liquid food, not even the desserts that could be used as a substitute for sugar.
Xia Yiqian sat at the table during dinner, holding a spoon in her hand, looking at Huo Linxiao with a resentful look on her face.
Huo Linxiao didn't even raise his head, his face was as hard as iron, and he was unmoved.
Huo Lintong almost laughed out loud when he saw them like this. He secretly nudged Xia Yiqian with his arm twice and whispered to her, "It's okay. There will be a birthday dinner tomorrow. There should be cake at the table. You can eat less then."
Feeling his brother's glare, Huo Lintong quickly added, "Anyway, we're leaving the island and going home the day after tomorrow, so I can take you to see a doctor then.
As long as you don't eat so many sweets in the future, the problem shouldn't be too big."
Huo Linxiao looked at him intently for a few seconds before looking away and continuing to eat his meal.
Huo Lintong breathed a sigh of relief. She always felt that her brother was stricter with Xia Yiqian than with her. The way he looked at people and didn't let them eat snacks was especially like the way his cousin looked at her two-year-old nephew and didn't let him eat snacks.
Raising a child is fine, but is this really how you raise a zombie?
After finishing her meal, Xia Yiqian returned to her room and sighed while watching TV.
I can eat snacks every time I watch TV series, but I feel particularly uncomfortable not eating snacks this time. I always feel like something is missing in my hands and mouth. I feel as anxious and uncomfortable as a smoker quitting smoking.
And she didn't need to sleep, so she forced herself to stay up all night and didn't eat any breakfast or lunch the next day.
Anyway, she is a zombie and doesn't need to consume any food. She only eats because she is greedy.
That white porridge...
Forget it, she wouldn't like to eat even if she needed to consume energy, not to mention that she doesn't need it at all.
Xia Yiqian persevered like this until the dinner party.
She put on a white knee-length dress that Huo Lintong had prepared for her and went out excitedly.
Huo Linxiao had been waiting downstairs for a long time. Seeing that Xia Yiqian had no expression on her face, but every pore seemed to be trying hard to express excitement, he unconsciously curled up the corners of his lips.
Do you really want snacks? You're just like a kid.
"Can we go now?"
Xia Yiqian knew he could go eat cake, and he didn't care about the person who had confiscated his snacks. His eyes sparkled, and he nodded very obediently, "Let's go."
Huo Linxiao raised his elbow slightly towards Xia Yiqian, indicating that she could hold his arm and attend the dance as his companion.
After all, their troublesome sister had already run off to her boyfriend's place, and there were only the two of them left here, so it was just right for them to be together.
Huo Linxiao had never invited any other woman as a companion except his own sister before. It wasn't awkward, but he was still quite unfamiliar with this action.
Especially when Xia Yiqian didn't move for a long time, he felt a little awkward.
Confused, he turned to look at Xia Yiqian, and saw the little girl tilting her head back, looking at him in confusion, with a look that clearly said "What are you doing?"
Huo Linxiao: ...
Forget it, what's the point of talking about etiquette with a zombie from thousands of years ago?
He explained, "When a man and a woman attend together, the woman can put her wrist around the man's arm."
After hearing this explanation, Xia Yiqian looked at Huo Linxiao with a look of shock and disgust.
"Can men and women hug each other casually these days? That's so rude!"
In their time, this was something they could get married right away!
Huo Linxiao: ...
Huo Linxiao, who was too unrefined, had a blank expression on his face. "This is social etiquette. There's no hugging or cuddling."
Xia Yiqian refused expressionlessly, "Unmarried men and women are not allowed to have physical contact. This is the most basic etiquette."
Of course, beating people is an exception.
Huo Linxiao didn't expect that Xia Yiqian was actually an old antique.
If it were any other woman, he wouldn't have thought of letting her hold him, but the problem was, wasn't this guy a zombie? He wasn't even human.
Besides, Xia Yiqian is just a child. Could he have any improper thoughts about her?
She's already a zombie, why should she still care about the strict "separation between men and women"?
Huo Linxiao subconsciously rubbed his brows and said helplessly, "If you don't like it, you don't have to hold my arm.
But there will be a lot of people around soon, so don’t get separated from me.”
Otherwise, if anyone at the party offended her and was picked up and strangled by her, Mrs. Xiao’s birthday party would definitely be ruined.
Xia Yiqian: ... "So it doesn't matter whether I hold your arm or not, you're just trying to prevent me from getting separated from you?
It's very ungentlemanly of you to try to take advantage of a girl for such a small thing."
Huo Linxiao: ...
