Chapter 26: Hold on to this moment of warmth
Huo Beixi looked at the girl who had rushed into his arms and continued to squirm in his arms, his heart almost jumping out of his throat. Just when he was hesitating whether to hold her tightly in his arms, Hua's mother appeared. She hurriedly helped Hua Xiali over and shook him, "Xia Li, Xia Li, wake up quickly."
"Mom, what's wrong?" Hua Xiali opened his eyes and looked at his mother in confusion.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Hua's mother's face. Could she accuse Hua Xiali of "throwing herself into someone's arms" in front of a man? "Nothing." Hua's mother looked at Hua Xiali deeply, then smiled at Huo Beixi, "Secretary Huo, what's the matter with you coming to our house so late?"
"Auntie, I came here to help you replace the wires. Didn't Sun Ping compensate your family 100 yuan? I saw that your wires were badly damaged and it might be dangerous to use them any longer, so I took the initiative to buy new wires for you."
Hua Xiali was also afraid that her mother would blame Huo Beixi for acting on her own and get angry, so she quickly said, "Secretary Huo, thank you so much, it's really a bother to you. With your help, we have saved a lot of trouble. If we were to buy the wires ourselves, we really wouldn't know what kind of wires to buy. You are obviously a professional, and the wires you picked must be excellent."
"Secretary Huo, I'll get a flashlight to illuminate you." Hua Xiali pushed his mother into the house and whispered, "Mom, you're tired enough today, you should go to bed early! Let me take care of the rest!"
Hua's mother was indeed very tired. After returning home, she had to cook dinner, boil bath water, and give Hua's father a bath. So after listening to Hua Xiali's words, she yawned loudly and walked into the room.
Hua's mother and Hua's father live in the same room, but they don't sleep in the same bed because Hua's mother is afraid that she might accidentally crush Hua's father. After all, he is now paralyzed and cannot move.
Hua Xiali took a flashlight from the table and went outside to light the way for Huo Beixi. After Huo Beixi pulled down the power switch, the entire Hua family was plunged into darkness.
From then on, the light from the flashlight in Hua Xiali's hand followed Huo Beixi's hand. Wherever Huo Beixi's hand moved, her flashlight would shine there.
After more than half an hour of hard work, the damaged wires were finally replaced. Huo Beixi then turned on the power switch, and then the lights in the house came on again.
"Huo Beixi, thank you. Please sit down and have a rest. I'll go get you a cup of hot tea." Hua Xiali brought another chair over and placed it in the yard. Then he went to the kitchen to pour tea.
Hua Xiali took out a teacup from the cupboard, rinsed it with hot water, picked up a handful of tea leaves, made a cup of hot tea, hesitated for a moment, and added a spoonful of spiritual spring water.
Up to now, she had only given some spiritual spring water to her eldest sister and youngest sister, because they both needed to study and use their brains. Even her parents had not been able to drink such a good thing. Unexpectedly, it would now be given to an outsider, Huo Beixi.
However, Huo Beixi has helped their family so much, and he can be considered their benefactor, so they should repay him.
Hua Xiali brought the hot tea to Huo Beixi, and moved a chair over and placed it on the other side of him for him to put the teacup on. Then she sat in her original chair.
Hua Xiali hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Have you found Hua Qingmei?"
Huo Beixi nodded and said softly, "Found it."
"Then..." To Hua Xiali, Hua Qingmei was like a bomb that could explode at any time, so she really wanted to know everything about Hua Qingmei.
Afterwards, Huo Beixi told Hua Xiali about Hua Qingmei's situation.
Hua Qingmei went up the mountain alone and was taken to a pavilion on the mountain and raped. When Yu Qingxin and Yan Yishen arrived, several people fled in different directions, which made the capture extremely difficult. After rescuing Hua Qingmei, they sent her to the hospital, where they found out that she had suffered a blow to the back of her head. When Hua Qingmei woke up, she was a little confused and had forgotten a lot of things. She should have suffered temporary amnesia. I don't know if she will recover later.
But Hua Qingmei is getting married in May, so her parents asked everyone to keep it a secret and not reveal these things to anyone.
After hearing this, Hua Xiali was shocked and panicked. Wang Liang probably took her to climb this mountain for this purpose!
Fortunately, she always walked behind Wang Liang and kept a distance of two or three meters from him. Otherwise, if she walked in front of Wang Liang and was ambushed by him and dragged into the bushes, she would have no choice but to marry him.
Wang Liang is such a vicious person, he is really capable of doing such a thing, otherwise how could he have the nerve to let her take care of him after he got cancer in his previous life?
Wang Liang never apologized for the infidelity, hurt and abandonment in his youth. He just enjoyed her care with peace of mind, as if her ex-wife was still his woman and should take care of him.
Her willingness to help her son reduce his troubles did not mean that she could accept his insults. She simply packed her luggage and moved out with her savings, but she did not expect that he would leave her house to someone else.
This is not legally valid, and her two sons are not good people like him. They will definitely not let the mistress and illegitimate child take away the inheritance that belongs to them.
And there is Hua Qingmei, she actually lost her memory. But when she regains her memory, will she blame everything on Hua Xiali?
But she wanted to go to that mountain secretly on her own, and it had nothing to do with Hua Xiali. I'm just afraid that she would look for a vent to shirk responsibility, right?
Hua Xiali felt a chill when she thought of the two unstable bombs, Hua Qingmei and Wang Liang, in her world. She hoped that Hua Qingmei would never recover her memory and live a good life with her husband. She also hoped that Wang Liang and his girlfriend could love and kill each other for the rest of their lives and not recover their memories of their past lives.
Otherwise, if both of them come back to disturb her, how can she live her life then?
"Don't be afraid." Huo Beixi suddenly reached out and held Hua Xiali's hand.
Hua Xiali didn't think too much about it. She just nodded after listening to Huo Beixi's words. When she came to her senses, she looked down at their clasped hands. Huo Beixi's big hands were warm and gave her a strange sense of security, which made her not so panicked anymore.
And she didn't seem to have any aversion to such an action, which was completely different from the feeling when Ding Yong grabbed her hand.
When Ding Yong grabbed her arm on the road today, she felt her scalp tingling and she was about to collapse and she just wanted to run away, but at this moment, she wanted to hold on to this moment of warmth tightly.
