“I am now all alone and have nowhere to stay. If I go out, I am afraid that my creditors will come after me. I think I can only ask you to take me in for a few days until I find a new job before I leave.”
The little girl frowned, clearly reluctant. After a long pause, she pouted and asked, "Your injury is clearly a gunshot wound... If you leave, won't you still be hunted down?"
He nodded seriously.
"If you stay, won't you put me in danger?"
“No,” he said. “Everyone thinks I’m dead and they won’t be tracking me anymore.”
She lightly kicked the chair, her reluctance deepening: "I shouldn't have saved you, you huge problem! It's a loss, a real loss! I bought so much alcohol, gauze, and 'medicine,' and didn't make a single profit, I lost it all..."
Huo Xuanxi thought her next words would be, "I won't take you in! Get out!" and he was already prepared to leave when the girl looked up at him and snorted.
“You must leave before my parents come back; you’ll stay in the living room and sleep on my yoga mat for the next few days, and keep the curtains drawn so no one can see you; I won’t go home for lunch when I’m at school, and I won’t be out of school until after evening self-study at 10 p.m. If anyone knocks on the door during that time, don’t open it unless it’s me; I’ll buy some food tomorrow and put it in the small refrigerator in the kitchen, there are some freshly steamed buns there, eat them at home if you’re hungry, don’t go out, or someone might see you.”
Huo Xuanxi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly chuckled softly.
—What a hypocritical little girl.
She seemed very reluctant for him to stay, yet she kept giving him detailed instructions, dragging the cushion to the living room, then going to the small, worn-out wardrobe to fetch bedding and carefully laying it out.
They brought pillows and blankets, arranging everything meticulously, as if they were treating him like a helpless child left at home.
child……
Huo Xuanxi's eyes trembled.
He had almost never been taken care of like this before.
He received the most rigorous training as a child. He was the only heir of the Huo family. His first toy was a dagger, and his first lesson was learning to shoot. All his time was filled with strict training and extensive learning.
Being carefully cared for was never something he could receive.
Not to mention the more than ten years after he turned thirteen, when he was constantly soaked in blood.
Deception, lies, scheming, plotting, killing, fighting... Never before have I been treated with such tender care, like a child.
But it was warm and cozy, like a sweet flower quietly blooming in the darkness and coldness, its small petals pink and delicate, completely out of place with the bloodshed in the shadows.
But it makes people...
They wanted to plunder and monopolize.
Tong Su rolled her eyes when she heard the inexplicable low laughter behind her, out of Huo Xuanxi's sight.
Wow, this guy's an Oscar winner too!
When he was Xi Chenzhou, he was a cold and composed young master from a wealthy family; when he was Xiao Lingchen, he was a rigid and serious Grand Tutor; and when he was Tian Xuanzi, although he was a bit shameless, he was still unrestrained, straightforward, and arrogant.
How did I end up like this after I came to this world and became Huo Xuanxi?
Bankruptcy?
He acted quite convincingly; someone who didn't know the real story might actually be fooled!
After laying out the quilt, she boiled a kettle of hot water for Huo Xuanxi, telling him to wash himself in a little while.
The house is too small and there is no bathroom at all. If you want to wash up, you either have to go to a public bathhouse or boil water to wash yourself.
Tongsu returned to her desk and continued working on her workbook. As she wrote, her thoughts drifted away.
According to the original plot information, Huo Xuanxi did indeed die that night.
