Chapter 77 Fingers Interlocked
Su Lingyu sat in the back seat, looking at Huo Lang, who was sitting in the passenger seat with an excited look on his face, with her almond-shaped eyes speechless: "What are you doing here?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm here to cheer you up!" Huo Lang said fearlessly, "I'm the typical person who helps others but not relatives. If my brother dares to let you down, I'll be the first to disagree!"
Su Lingyu: "What about the others?"
Holland said without hesitation: "My parents and my sister, they are here just to see the excitement."
Su Lingyu: “……?”
[Xiao Tongzi, I said I was going to Chenjia Lane to catch a couple committing adultery, but not one of them explained to me that Huo Yan was innocent and that he was going there to seek medical treatment. What should I do?]
The system is confused: [What should I do? ]
[I can't really use the excuse of catching someone cheating to make a scene. Rumors are terrible. If I make a scene like this, tomorrow the whole military compound, and even the whole capital, will spread the news that Huo Yan cheated on his wife. Do you believe it?]
The system thought for a moment and said in a baby voice: [Isn’t this just right?]
Su Lingyu: [Just right? ]
[Yes, we are bad guys! Just like what the host did before, we did it again without leaving a good reputation. Isn't this our goal? The more you ruin Huo Yan's reputation, the more he will hate you. Even if you heal his leg, he will not forgive you! ]
Su Lingyu was speechless.
It seems that this is really the truth...
But she bit her lip and sighed: "I don't care whether he hates me or not. I just think that he is an upright and selfless soldier who has suffered a disability in his left leg because of his service to the country and the people. He should not be splashed with dirty water, let alone such a sex scandal."
[Even if we want to treat his leg, the price shouldn't be his reputation. He shouldn't have to bear that.]
Su Lingyu lowered her eyelashes and looked distressed. She didn't notice that Huo Yan beside her was looking at her with an indescribable gentleness in his eyes, even... a restrained love.
"Sister-in-law!" Huo Lang in the front row suddenly spoke up, "I support you very much, but I still have to explain to you that my eldest brother actually went to Chenjia Lane these few days to seek medical treatment for his leg."
"..." Su Lingyu was a little confused, "What, what, why are you suddenly talking about this?"
"Hey! Think about it, my eldest brother is such a serious and old-fashioned person, how could he cheat? He won't! You are so beautiful and so good, he can only fall in love with you, how could he fall in love with someone else? In fact, I was just joking with you... The reason why everyone is in a bad mood today is because the doctor that eldest brother consulted ran away. Everyone is sad for eldest brother. I was thinking of explaining it to you in the car."
"Run away?"
"yes!"
“…”
Huo Lang talked on and on, and Su Lingyu listened attentively.
One person knew that the other person actually knew it, and one person actually knew it but needed to pretend not to know it. The two pretended to cooperate for a few minutes and finally played a perfect "cooperation".
Neither of them noticed that Huo Yan's ears were red as if they were about to bleed when they looked out the car window. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on his eyebrows and hair, and also on the corners of his lips that he couldn't help but raise.
"So that's how it is." Su Lingyu sighed.
"Yes, that's it!" said Holland.
"Although your eldest brother didn't look for women outside, I still have to look for him for this problem." Su Lingyu pulled up Jiang Yufeng's banner, "I suddenly remembered that I heard my master talk about Chen Mancang before, saying that he is a good person and should not deliberately play tricks on your eldest brother. Maybe he left a letter or something, but it was taken away by someone and your brother didn't get it."
Huo Lang immediately said, "Of course! If that's the case, we definitely can't let the troublemaker go!"
"You have some intelligence."
"Hey, thank you sister-in-law for the compliment."
"Yeah." Su Lingyu responded modestly.
Leaning back in her seat, she let out a soft breath.
[I am so tired after talking so much. We are brothers, why does Huo Yan talk so little and Huo Lang talk so much, even more noisy than the frogs jumping around in the fields.]
The system's baby voice sounded: [Because they are good people, they are also frogs even though they are noisy? What about us, host, are we mosquitoes? ]
Su Lingyu: [...You know too much, baby.]
Holland: “……?!!!”
Wait, isn't he doing this for his brother? !
Huo Yan really couldn't help it, he put his fist to his lips and laughed softly.
"What are you laughing at?" Su Lingyu looked at the man beside her in surprise and waved her hand in front of his eyes. "I wronged you, and you're still laughing. Are you stupid?"
Huo Yan also lowered his eyes and looked at her.
The charming and beautiful woman tilted her head and looked at him, her almond-shaped eyes reflected in the tiny bits of sunset, bright and beautiful.
The warm light of the setting sun shone on her from behind. The narrow carriage and the street scene outside the window became the background at this moment, and she was the most eye-catching person among them.
His heart moved, and his body moved before his brain, and he held her hand.
"Huh?" Su Lingyu was startled and subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back.
However, even though the man's ears were red, he even turned his head away and dared not look at her again. The big hand holding hers was tightly unwilling to let go, and even went further.
His slender and powerful hands firmly and slowly inserted into her fingers, tightly interlocking theirs, forcefully not allowing her to escape.
Under the warm light of the setting sun, Su Lingyu blinked and suddenly felt something was wrong.
Something is wrong.
