Chapter 5 Now and Now
After a day of hard work, Yi Qian finally returned to his apartment.
Instead of entering the door, he went straight to the next door.
He actually hadn't figured out how to tell Huo Xiang, but now that things had come to this, he might as well talk about it as soon as possible. He thought Huo Xiang would understand him.
I unlocked the door with my fingerprint, only to find it was pitch black inside.
There is no aroma of food, no familiar smiles, no kind greetings...
He turned on the light and keenly sensed that something was different.
"Huo Xiang? Are you asleep?"
On weekdays, unless Huo Xiang was not at home, she would always keep his food warm and leave a light on, even if she had already gone to bed.
Yi Qian felt a little flustered for no reason. He comforted himself that Huo Xiang might have forgotten or had gone out for something, while walking towards the bedroom.
There was no one in the bedroom and everything on the table was gone.
Yi Qian opened the closet, and it was empty...
He quickly searched the bathroom and kitchen, but there was nothing.
No, Huo Xiang would not leave without saying goodbye, and he would not treat him like this.
Yi Qian forced himself to calm down and quickly took out his cell phone, only to find a text message from Huo Xiang a few minutes ago.
"He already knew? The earliest it would be reported in the media would be tomorrow. How did he know?"
He hurriedly tried to make a phone call, but found that he could not get through, and his WeChat and QQ were all blocked.
He asked his assistant to call Huo Xiang again, but the phone was turned off.
Over the years, ever since Huo Xiang started using this phone card, he had never let him lose contact, but now...
Thinking of something, he rushed back to his apartment.
"Huo Xiang, Huo Xiang! I know you must be here! Can you please come out? I, let's have a good talk. I don't blame you. If you want to disclose your sexual orientation, just do it. I will take care of my mother's side. As for the blind date... I, I didn't hide it from you on purpose. I didn't expect to get engaged so soon...
Are you angry? I don't ask you to understand my difficulties, I just hope you know that no matter what, I will never leave you, don't you know that? Come out! Come out..."
The apartment was empty with only his own echo. All traces of Huo Xiang had been wiped out.
Yi Qian sat dejectedly on the sofa...
In the same world, people's joys and sorrows are always different.
Li Guixun was so excited that he didn't sleep all night, and received a WeChat message from Huo Xiang early in the morning.
Huo Huo Huo Huo: [Good morning, Mr. Li. I have thought about it. When can I start working? What do I need to prepare? ］
When Li Guixun heard the reminder tone he had specially set yesterday, he jumped up from the bed.
He stopped himself just in time and wanted to reply "I'll pick you up right now", and tried to reply in a reserved manner.
Qianbaidu: [Is it possible today? You just need to bring some simple luggage with you. I have rooms and daily necessities ready for you. (sun)]
Huo Huo Huo Huo: [Then I'll go over at 9:30, is that okay? ］
Qianbaidu: [Okay, okay! ］
The next second, Huo Xiang received a positioning message.
He replied "received" and asked a runner to help him deliver the other things that he didn't need temporarily to Zhuang Yan.
After breakfast, he took a taxi to the address Li Guixun sent him.
"Young man, do you live over there?" the driver asked enthusiastically.
"No, I'm going to work over there."
"Oh, that's not bad! Blue Lake Mansion is the most expensive wealthy area in our South City, every inch of land is worth a lot of money! Even though it is in the city center, the environment is great. Life is convenient, quiet in the bustling city, and comfortable! I wonder what kind of people live there..."
Of course Huo Xiang knew about the Blue Lake Mansion. Qiao An used to joke that Zhuang Yan’s goal should be to own a villa there.
The car gradually drove into the city center and the Blue Lake Mansion was in sight.
When Huo Xiang got off the car, he was still a little nervous, but when he saw Li Guixun walking out of the community hand in hand, he somehow relaxed all of a sudden.
"Mr. Li, are you...going out?"
Li Guixun stood up straighter: "No, I was afraid that you couldn't find the place, so I came out to pick you up."
He was wearing a black windbreaker with a dark grey hooded sweatshirt underneath.
Huo Xiang felt that he was probably the best looking person wearing a windbreaker that he had ever seen.
With an impressive height, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, he is even more stylish than those domineering CEOs in Korean dramas. He is truly a walking clothes rack.
You can tell that the hair has been specially groomed. Although it was very short and messy, I must have combed it a few times before going out.
Li Guixun has a heavy complexion with some ethnic minority characteristics. Baidu said that his mother was from the Yi ethnic group, so it should be hereditary.
Wheat-colored skin, three-dimensional facial features, and deep eyebrows and eyes. Thick eyebrows, deep eyes, lips that are neither thin nor thick, and very long eyelashes.
When he had no expression, he looked extremely cold and had a bit of an indescribable evil aura, which made people think of his colorful resume.
But when she smiles, her whole person becomes particularly lively, warm and gentle.
His smile is different from Yi Qian's.
Yi Qian's smile is more like a trained muscle memory, and anyone who sees it will feel like a spring breeze. Huo Xiang knew that was just the persona he created for the outside world.
In the past, Huo Xiang always felt sorry for his hard life and did his best to help him share the burden. And now, he chooses to respect the fate of others and cherish and enjoy his present life.
After a moment of distraction, his suitcase was already in Li Guixun's hands and was placed in a Rolls-Royce.
"Get in the car, I'll take you in."
Huo Xiang thought there was a driver, but it turned out that Li Guixun was driving himself, so he had to sit in the passenger seat.
Li Guixun was very excited, but when he saw that Huo Xiang seemed a little uncomfortable, he was glad that he had resisted the urge to open the car door for Huo Xiang.
He told himself that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, he must stay calm, stay calm!
The car soon stopped in front of a very beautiful three-story building.
Li Guixun handed the car to an uncle who was waiting nearby and walked in with Huo Xiang.
"Hello, Xiangxiang! Hello, Xiangxiang! Hello!"
As soon as I entered the door, I heard a strange sound.
