037 I came to her house specifically to sleep.
Perhaps finding the living room lights too bright, Huo Yanxi raised his arm and casually placed it on his forehead to block the glaring light.
He closed his eyes slightly, "I can't sleep in the hospital."
Xie Yaoyao: "..."
No, if you can't sleep, go back to your mansion in Victoria Peak and sleep there. What are you doing here?
Why would someone choose to suffer when they have good fortune instead of enjoying it?
Xie Yaoyao: "President Huo..."
"Stop making noise!" Huo Yanxi interrupted her. "It's still early, go back to sleep."
Xie Yaoyao glanced at the clock on the wall. "It's almost six o'clock. Didn't you tell me to be at No. 22 Taiping Mountain before seven o'clock?"
"No rush, let me take a nap first."
Xie Yaoyao: "..."
So he wants to sleep here, right? Is it comfortable to sleep on this old, worn-out little sofa in her house?
Xie Yaoyao was speechless when she saw that he had his eyes closed.
However, I noticed that the bloodshot in his eyes had gotten worse, as if he hadn't slept all night.
She couldn't bear to disturb him, so she took Doubao into the bedroom.
She sat on the edge of the bed, put Doubao on her lap, and Doubao looked at the man on the sofa outside, sobbing softly.
Xie Yaoyao couldn't understand what it was saying, but it was probably concerned about its owner.
She whispered, "Doubao, be quiet, let him sleep for a while."
Huo Yanxi doesn't look as glamorous as he appears to outsiders. In just a few days, she has already seen him in a sorry state.
Doubao whimpered and lay down on Xie Yaoyao's lap, becoming quiet.
Xie Yaoyao gently stroked the dog's fur, her gaze involuntarily falling on the tall, slender figure on the living room sofa.
Huo Yanxi, who is nearly 1.9 meters tall, felt cramped on the 1.5-meter-wide sofa, with nowhere to put his long legs.
She couldn't understand why he would come all the way to her house to sleep. Did her house have some kind of magic?
Huo Yanxi didn't know why he came to Xie Yaoyao's house to sleep.
Yesterday afternoon, he lay on the small sofa for a while and slept soundly.
He hadn't slept so soundly since he left the small fishing village.
Previously in the hospital, the room was large and empty, and he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
Apart from the smell of disinfectant, there was no comforting, warm scent of soap in the ward.
He missed the less than ten-square-meter living room in Xie Yaoyao's house, which felt like returning to the boat house in the small fishing village.
So, ignoring the doctor's advice, he insisted on being discharged from the hospital and came here just to get a good night's sleep.
At 10 a.m., the old tenement building was bustling with traffic and people.
Xie Yaoyao's house, however, was very quiet.
Xie Yaoyao and Xie Ziyu were fast asleep, while Doubao lay lazily at the foot of the bed, wagging its tail.
Huo Yanxi slept peacefully and silently on the living room sofa.
Until the door was kicked loudly.
When Liu Hu woke up in the morning, he was naked and had been stared at by people for who knows how long.
His mother rushed over with a kitchen knife and cut the ropes binding him, only then did he cover his private parts and hurriedly run home.
The more he thought about it, the more ashamed he felt.
Now that everyone in the old tenement building has seen him, how will he face people in the future?
It's all Xie Yaoyao's fault, she's so vicious.
She ruined his reputation, and he absolutely cannot let it go!
Liu Hu, impulsive by nature, sneaked over to the door wearing a baseball cap and a mask.
He wants to kill Xie Yaoyao.
The door was kicked so hard it shook the house, and Huo Yanxi was the first to be awakened. He opened his eyes and saw the dreamcatcher hanging on the living room wall.
For a moment, he felt as if he had returned to the boat house in the small fishing village, but soon he realized that he was not in the boat house, but at Xie Yaoyao's house.
A man's shrill shout came from outside the door, "Xie Yaoyao, open the door, or do you believe I'll skin you alive today?"
Huo Yanxi frowned, remembering that Xie Yaoyao was married. Could it be that her husband had come back to catch her cheating?
He was upright and had nothing to fear, so he got up to open the door.
The sound of the door being kicked woke Xie Yaoyao, her son, and Doubao in the room. Doubao immediately jumped off the bed, rushed out of the room, and stood at the front door, barking wildly outside.
Liu Hu banged and kicked the door repeatedly, and when Xie Yaoyao didn't open it, he shouted and cursed from outside.
"Keeping a mistress and not daring to open the door, huh? You think..."
Before he could finish speaking, the door suddenly opened in front of him, and Doubao rushed in front of Huo Yanxi, barking wildly at the person outside.
"Woof woof woof woof..."
As soon as Liu Hu opened the door, he heard a dog barking. He instinctively took two steps back, and when he saw the man in front of him who looked like a demon, a chill ran down his spine.
who is he?
Why does it look so familiar?
He's the tyrant of the Tanglou, why would he be afraid of a pretty boy?
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Liu Hu glared at Huo Yanxi warily.
He looks a lot like the man who threw him over his shoulder last night and knocked him unconscious.
Huo Yanxi sneered, "It seems last night's lesson wasn't enough; you're still looking for death."
Liu Hu was a bully only to his own kind, but he would immediately cower in fear if he saw someone stronger than him. "W-what do you want to do?"
Huo Yanxi was too lazy to waste words with him and snapped his fingers.
Liu Hu thought he was showing off and was about to start mocking him when two bodyguards in black suddenly appeared out of nowhere and grabbed him from the left and right.
Huo Yanxi coldly ordered, "Treat our distinguished guest well; he shouldn't be discharged from the hospital for at least six months."
"yes."
Liu Hu shuddered. As the bodyguards carried him toward the rooftop, he cried and begged for mercy, but no one paid him any attention.
Huo Yanxi closed the door, and as soon as he turned around, he saw a large and a small figure standing at the bedroom door.
Both of them had expressions of horror on their faces, as if they had seen a ghost.
Huo Yanxi coughed lightly, "Did I wake you up? I'm actually hungry. Teacher Xie, would you like to cook?"
Xie Yaoyao looked at him speechlessly, "Don't you think you're one of us?"
Why should she have to cook for him?
Huo Yanxi: "Aren't you going to eat?"
Xie Yaoyao choked up. Forget it, she had never won an argument with him based on logic.
Besides, it's already past ten o'clock. If we keep arguing, let's just have lunch.
"You just had your stomach pumped. The doctor should have told you not to eat, right?"
Huo Yanxi: "As long as it's not extremely spicy, I can still eat some of the slightly solid foods."
Xie Yaoyao gave an OK sign. "Wait."
She squeezed into the kitchen, pounded and rinsed the rice, put it in the rice cooker to steam, then found the flour, poured it into a bowl, added water and stirred it into a doughy consistency.
When the porridge was almost cooked, she stirred the dough pieces into it, and a pot of dough porridge was ready.
She took some pickled vegetables out of the jar, added sesame oil and chicken bouillon, and originally wanted to add some chili oil, but thinking of Huo Yanxi's stomach, she didn't.
She took the porridge out and found the atmosphere in the living room was strange.
Xie Ziyu squatted in the corner, petting the dog. Doubao seemed to like him and lay down at his feet, letting him pet her.
Huo Yanxi occupied the entire sofa by himself, looking at messages on his phone.
They completely ignored the person and the dog.
Hearing Xie Yaoyao come out, Xie Ziyu quickly ran over with Doubao in his arms to complain.
"Mommy, he just kicked the steamed bun, I saw it."
Doubao let out a pitiful whimper, looking at Xie Yaoyao with a pitiful expression, hoping she would stand up for it.
Xie Yaoyao: "..."
Huo Yanxi is indeed Huo Yanxi; at 27 years old, he's still so annoying and disliked.
