Seeing that Ye Fanxing was so easily awakened, Huo Dongfang could only coax her in a low voice, "Xingxing, you rest well, I won't leave."
"Um."
Ye Fanxing, nestled in Huo Dongfang's arms, softly responded.
The voice was soft and sweet, like the sound of a kitten.
Huo Dongfang held Ye Fanxing, who was trembling slightly, through the blanket. He was so close that he could smell the rich osmanthus fragrance on Ye Fanxing.
Huo Dongfang felt as if he were in a grove of osmanthus trees. A gentle breeze blew, and golden osmanthus blossoms fluttered down, like a rain of osmanthus flowers.
The fragrance made Huo Dongfang feel drowsy.
Ye Fanxing adjusted herself into a comfortable position in Huo Dongfang's arms.
Huo Dongfang held Ye Fanxing in his arms as if she were a rare treasure.
He lowered his eyes, looking at Ye Fanxing under the white light; her small face was breathtakingly beautiful.
Even after Ye Fanxing fell asleep, she still clung tightly to Huo Dongfang's collar.
The moment Huo Dongfang moved slightly, Ye Fanxing instinctively grabbed him in terror.
Like a drowning child grasping at the last piece of driftwood.
Finally, Huo Dongfang leaned against the headboard, gently closed his eyes, and drifted off to sleep.
The morning light shone through the window onto Ye Fanxing's eyes. She opened her eyes, finding it too bright, and saw Huo Dongfang's incomparably handsome face.
The morning light shone on Huo Dongfang, making him appear as if he were a god, compassionate towards all living beings.
Ye Fanxing quietly got up from Huo Dongfang's arms, afraid that she would wake him up.
Last night, she could have acted coquettishly and weakly in front of Huo Dongfang.
But at this moment, when the sunlight shines on the land of China, Ye Fanxing feels as if all the darkness has nowhere to hide.
She was also afraid that Huo Dongfang would see through her little scheme.
After Ye Fanxing got up and finished washing up, Huo Dongfang was no longer in her room.
"Uncle Huo."
Ye Fanxing stood at Huo Dongfang's door and called out softly.
Huo Dongfang opened the door and looked at Ye Fanxing. She had just washed her face, and her face was as fresh as a lotus flower, exuding the unique innocence and vitality of a young girl.
"Xingxing, you're all ready. I'll take you to have breakfast."
"good."
Neither Ye Fanxing nor Huo Dongfang mentioned the night they had spent together.
It's as if nothing ever happened, as long as it's not mentioned.
Breakfast consisted of porridge and soup dumplings.
Ye Fanxing picked up a soup dumpling with her chopsticks and took a bite eagerly.
Taking a bite, the scalding hot soup made Ye Fanxing's face wrinkle slightly.
"The soy milk is cold."
Huo Dongfang handed Ye Fanxing a bowl of soy milk that was almost cold.
Ye Fanxing took the soy milk and drank it in big gulps until the burning sensation on her tongue subsided a little.
"Uncle Huo, do you think I have a blister on my tongue from the heat?"
Ye Fanxing stuck out the tip of her tongue, asking Huo Dongfang to take a look.
Huo Dongfang leaned closer for a closer look. "No. It's just a little red."
"The skin looked warm to me, but I didn't realize the soup inside was so hot..."
Ye Fanxing was extremely embarrassed.
When she was a dancer, she basically relied on nutritious meals to maintain her figure.
There are so many delicious foods that she never had the chance to eat.
Especially since soup dumplings are very high in calories, Ye Fanxing dared not eat them.
Now that she's finally transmigrated into a book and doesn't have to worry about her figure, Ye Fanxing wants to be a little more unrestrained and try all the delicious foods she's never tasted before.
"You two are having breakfast here too?"
The witness who testified for Ye Fanxing last night greeted Ye Fanxing and Huo Dongfang from afar.
Huo Dongfang looked at the man in front of him, who was wearing a white shirt and black-rimmed glasses and had a refined appearance, and replied politely but distantly, "Yes, you're having breakfast here too?"
"I was originally going to the cafeteria for breakfast, but I came over to say hello when I saw you." The witness looked at Ye Fanxing with concern, "Did you sleep well last night?"
Ye Fanxing knew that if a man hadn't produced the cassette tape recording as evidence last night...
The case processing procedure may be a bit complicated.
"Thank you for your concern. I slept very well last night with Uncle Huo by my side." Ye Fanxing then asked with concern, "Did you really believe what they said last night?"
"Of course not."
The witness sat down at the table where Huo Dongfang and Ye Fanxing were.
"I had already gone downstairs when your friends came looking for me."
Huo Dongfang asked, "What would you like to eat? It's my treat."
"Then I won't be polite."
The witness ordered congee and soup dumplings.
The three of them chatted idly here.
"I heard about the university acceptance letter last night? Are you going to study at Shanghai University too?"
Ye Fanxing shook her head. "Although I was admitted to Shanghai University, I probably won't study here."
"Why?" the witness said in a hoarse voice, "Shanghai University is ranked among the top in the country. You've already been admitted. It would be a pity if you didn't go."
Huo Dongfang explained, "Someone impersonated her by using her admission notice to complete the registration process, and now we need to prove that she is her."
The witness exclaimed in utter astonishment, "How could someone be like this? As a professor at Shanghai University, I find this behavior shameful! Stealing your admission letter is no different from murder!"
Huo Dongfang asked in surprise, "Are you a professor at Shanghai University?"
Last night, he and Ye Fanxing were so focused on the two human traffickers that they hadn't bothered to find out the identities of the witnesses.
If he has a professor at Shanghai University, he can learn about Ye Fanxing's current situation through him when Ye Fanxing is at Shanghai University in the future.
“Strictly speaking, I only accepted the offer of employment from Shanghai University.” The witness proactively revealed his identity: “I am Chen Hengzhi. I just returned to China this year after completing my studies and officially started teaching at Shanghai University in the fall.”
Ye Fanxing asked in confusion, "If you're a professor, didn't Shanghai University arrange a dormitory for you?"
“I am currently single. The logistics department did not have any extra single dormitories at the moment, so they discussed with me and arranged for me to stay in the guesthouse.”
Chen Hengzhi pushed up his black-rimmed glasses.
"How should I address you two?"
Even so, Huo Dongfang had proposed to Ye Fanxing before coming to Shanghai.
But in Huo Dongfang's heart, Ye Fanxing was still his niece.
The reason for the engagement was simply to prevent negative rumors from affecting Ye Fanxing.
In Huo Dongfang's heart, Ye Fanxing was not his fiancée.
It was his little niece who needed his care.
Huo Dongfang even thought that when Ye Fanxing reached the legal marriage age, if she had a suitable marriage partner, he would prepare a generous dowry and marry her off in a grand and glorious manner.
It doesn't matter if Ye Fanxing doesn't have a suitable marriage partner yet.
He could support her for the rest of her life.
Huo Dongfang: "I am Huo Dongfang, and this is my niece, Ye Fanxing."
