When she first arrived at the old house, don't think he couldn't tell; she was also very wary. It was only after they got to know each other that her true nature gradually emerged, and she became increasingly lively.
He's still just a kid at heart, always playing and eating.
Seeing that it was almost time, Mu Wenxi pulled the blanket up for him: "Alright, today's task is done, young master, go to sleep early."
Huo Jiangliu: "Goodnight, Miss Mu."
Mu Wenxi: "Good night, Young Master Huo."
When Huo Jiangliu was undergoing his third rehabilitation session, school had just started. It was springtime, and the temperature was neither as cold as winter nor as hot as summer, making dressing a hassle.
Fortunately, the two were still students and could wear school uniforms, but even simple school uniforms couldn't hide their inherent charm.
Qi Yang couldn't help but complain: "After the New Year, how come you two look even better? It's so unfair, especially Mu Wenxi, you've even grown taller."
Mu Wenxi: "You've grown taller too."
Qi Yang: "I can still grow taller."
Huo Jiangliu: "Please sit down."
Qi Yang: "Fine, you'll still dislike me even after the New Year."
Mu Wenxi covered her mouth and chuckled as she watched the two of them playfully bickering.
Qi Yang was absolutely right when he praised Mu Wenxi for becoming even more beautiful. When Mu Wenxi first came to the Huo family, she was skinny and bony, weighing less than 80 kilograms despite being only 1.6 meters tall. After a few months of good food and drink, she became much more attractive.
Mu Wenxi is not only approaching 1.65 meters tall, but she has also gained about 10 kilograms. At 90 kilograms, she is neither too fat nor too thin, and the little girl looks healthy and beautiful.
Even in a simple school uniform, she can stand out among a group of female students.
Sure enough, Mu Wenxi, who came to school early in the morning, found a strange letter in her drawer. When she opened it, she found it was a love letter.
Mu Wenxi was a little surprised that she also had a love letter, and quickly held it up to show off: "Jiang Liu, look, I have a love letter."
Before Huo Jiangliu could even see it, Qi Yang, with his exceptional hearing, had already heard it.
Qi Yang: "Let me see! Wow, Xiao Mu, you have love letters too!"
Huo Jiangliu took the love letter. The tender words on it were almost unbearable to look at, and he subconsciously felt a little uncomfortable: "Don't look at it next time."
Qi Yang: "This belongs to Xiao Mu, don't take it away."
Huo Jiangliu ignored him and threw the love letter into the trash can.
Mu Wenxi felt a little regretful that he couldn't stop her: "Hey."
Huo Jiangliu: "There's nothing to see."
Mu Wenxi: "I've never received one before."
Qi Yang: "I haven't received it either."
Huo Jiangliu lied through his teeth: "It's okay, I haven't received it either."
Mu Wenxi: "Really?"
Qi Yang was about to move his lips when he received a warning look from Huo Jiangliu. The next second, he heard Huo Jiangliu's pitiful voice and his eyes almost popped out.
Huo Jiangliu: "Really, who would write me a love letter when I'm disabled?"
Mu Wenxi hated hearing his discouraging words and got angry: "How could that be? You have such good grades, a good personality, and you're handsome, how could no one write you love letters!"
Huo Jiangliu lowered his head, and Mu Wenxi thought he was feeling wronged: "Hmph, it's all because those people have no taste."
Qi Yang: "That's right, they all have no taste. My brother Huo is so good, whoever becomes his girlfriend is incredibly lucky."
Mu Wenxi also defended his employer, the young master, and his good friend: "That's right."
Huo Jiangliu: "Alright, it's no big deal. You can't date in high school anyway."
Mu Wenxi: "Yes, we can only talk about it at least at the university level."
Huo Jiangliu: "Study hard."
Qi Yang: "..."
In the toilet.
Huo Jiangliu: "From now on, come earlier and check all of Wen Xi's drawers. If there are any love letters, give them to me."
Qi Yang: "Why didn't you come earlier?"
Huo Jiangliu looked at him helplessly: "I've been acting with Wen Xi, how can I arrive earlier?"
Qi Yang: "Oh right, but why do you need Mu Wenxi's love letter?"
Huo Jiangliu thought his brain was a bit slow, but he answered seriously, "Of course, it's because I'm afraid of affecting her studies. She's about to take the college entrance exam and I can't let anyone disturb her."
Qi Yang: "That's true, don't worry, I've got it covered."
Huo Jiangliu: "Hmm."
Qi Yang looked at the upturned corners of his mouth, not knowing what was wrong, but he couldn't remember why, so he let it go.
The two returned to the classroom, and Mu Wenxi's eyes darted back and forth between them, as if they were hiding something from her.
The next morning, after Huo Jiangliu arrived at the classroom, Qi Yang gave him a wink. Huo Jiangliu touched his drawer and found several letters in the corner. He put them into his schoolbag when Mu Wenxi wasn't looking.
After returning to his room that evening, Huo Jiangliu opened the letters. Almost all of them were letters expressing his love for Mu Wenxi. He read them all, crumpled them into a ball, and threw them into the trash can. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
The following evening, he skipped evening self-study after school and went straight to the hospital for rehabilitation. He couldn't wait to stand up and walk to her side.
Every time he failed, Mu Wenxi's smiling face would appear in his mind, and he would tell himself to persevere and persevere a little longer.
The bodyguard couldn't help but say, "Young master, take a rest."
Huo Jiangliu: "It's okay, let's try again."
Late at night, Huo Jiangliu returned to the old house. Huo's parents were already resting, and the light in Mu Wenxi's room was off, presumably because he was asleep.
He maneuvered his wheelchair toward the living room, and unexpectedly saw a round little head. His heart warmed, and his eyes softened even more.
When Mu Wenxi got home, she finished her homework very diligently. Thinking that Huo Jiangliu had not yet returned, she thought he must be very tired and decided to make him something to eat.
She went into the kitchen and saw that there were still some leftover wonton wrappers and meat, so she simply wrapped some up and cooked a small bowl of wontons, hoping that Huo Jiangliu could eat them when he came back.
Nine o'clock.
Aunt Zhou: "Miss, aren't you going upstairs to sleep?"
Mu Wenxi: "I'm waiting for Jiang Liu."
Aunt Zhou: "Young Master will probably be back soon."
Mu Wenxi: "It's alright, Aunt Zhou, you should go to sleep first."
She waited until Mu Wenxi was almost asleep when she heard a noise and quickly opened her eyes. It was Huo Jiangliu who had returned.
Huo Jiangliu: "You're still not asleep?"
His lucky koi fish is still waiting for him so late.
Mu Wenxi: "You're back. I cooked you some wontons, would you like some?"
Huo Jiangliu: "I want to."
Mu Wenxi immediately got up and ran to the kitchen, with Huo Jiangliu following behind her, watching her operate. He thought it would be great if it were like this in the future. Soon the wontons were reheated and served steaming hot.
"Okay, sorry to keep you waiting."
Huo Jiangliu: "Let's eat together."
Mu Wenxi: "I've already eaten!"
Huo Jiangliu: "Together."
Mu Wenxi sensed something from Huo Jiangliu's eyes, but she didn't quite understand it. She just felt a strange feeling surrounding her: "Okay."
Mu Wenxi took a small bowl, and Huo Jiangliu shared half with her. After eating the warm wontons, her whole body warmed up, and in the somewhat damp spring, ambiguous feelings began to spread little by little.
