It was because of this smile that Su Mi knew that after so long, he had really figured it out and let it go.
She also felt much happier.
After a long while, Zong Lu whispered: "Before, when you returned to Jingzhou to recognize your ancestors and return to the clan, those stupid things I did to you...you really don't blame me anymore."
Su Mi played with her fingers and raised her face: "What is it?"
Zong Lu knew that she was deliberately pretending to be stupid, so he didn't say anything more.
The two chatted openly for a while, and it was getting late.
Su Mi said goodbye.
Zong Lu insisted on sending her out for a ride.
The two walked out of the hotel, and Zong Lu asked He Feng to call a taxi.
The sun has set in the west, and the night wind has risen suddenly.
After the car arrived, Su Mi pointed to his gauze-bandaged hand before getting in the car and reminded him again:
"Remember, ask He Feng to change your dressing frequently and change your gauze every day. Don't be lazy. Don't get wet in the past two days, so you can heal quickly."
Zong Lu rubbed her nose with his uninjured hand: "You are more verbose than grandma."
In the past, such behavior would have made Su Mi feel inappropriate and repelled.
But now, I don't feel any discomfort at all.
It was as if the man in front of me was really his family.
It was really the brother who had died in the plane crash long ago.
She replied: "Okay, if you say bad things about grandma behind her back, I will video chat with her later and tell her."
Zong Lu laughed: "Not only is he verbose, but he also complains."
The car is coming.
Stop not far away.
Su Mi waved her hand at him, and Zong Lu suddenly spoke:
"Can I give you a hug? As a brother."
Su Mi was startled.
Zong Lu thought that she was still resistant to him, so he immediately spoke:
"It's okay. I was just talking casually."
But she took a few steps forward, took the initiative to stretch out her arms, and hugged him.
When he moved, his arrogant body softened like melting ice, and he felt a little at a loss. Like a child, he tentatively hugged her.
It turns out that being her brother is not bad.
It's good to have such a sister.
I can’t figure out why I have been obsessed with it for so many years…
So much time was wasted, and so many people were sad.
After a while, the two separated.
Su Mi waved to him and was about to go down the steps to get in the car, but saw the smile on Zong Lu's face disappear and be replaced by a frown.
She followed his gaze and looked down the steps——
Across the road, Huo Shenxiu stood beside the car, his eyes as cold as night, looking over.
She didn't expect that he would come to the hotel where Zong Lu was staying to have a meal, and she didn't know if he saw her hugging Zong Lu.
He glanced at Zong Lu and hurried to the other side of the road:
"Why are you here?"
"Pick you up." The man replied simply.
His tone was calm and his expression showed no emotion or anger.
Su Mi opened the passenger door and got in.
He took a deep look at Zong Lu opposite him and got into the car. He saw her fastening her seat belt and drove away.
After driving for a while, Su Mi felt that the atmosphere in the car was very solemn and stalemate, so she took the initiative to find something to say:
"...Have you eaten, little Subao?"
"have eaten."
"And you?"
"without."
"Why didn't you eat?"
"Isn't this a drive out?"
She saw him answering questions and knew that he was thinking about something. Although she was still driving, she couldn't help it and sat up straight: "Huo Shenxiu, if you have something to say, just say it, okay?"
Huo Shenxiu screeched and stopped the car on the side of the road: "You don't know what I'm going to say?"
She laughed angrily: "I'm not the roundworm in your belly, so what's the point?"
He unbuckled his seat belt and approached her sideways with his long body. The pressing feeling made the atmosphere in the car even more depressing:
"What's the relationship between you and Zong Lu?"
Su Mi's heart skipped a beat, it seemed that he really saw the hugging and affectionate gesture between her and Zong Lu.
She said with a somewhat coaxing tone: "What relationship can I have with him? He is the son of our clan, I have to call him brother. This is our relationship."
"The way you behaved in front of the hotel did you think I was blind?"
Zong Lu nuzzled her nose, and the two of them laughed happily. They even hugged each other affectionately.
Su Mi explained: "...Huo Shenxiu, I understand that you may have some misunderstandings when you grew up without brothers and sisters. But, whether you believe it or not, we just got along as a pure family."
"Did you and him grow up together? Can our relationship be this close?"
If it was Su Mi and Su Jinhang who did this just now, his reaction might not be so big.
But, Zong Lu, have only been with her for a few days?
Su Mi didn't know how to explain her complicated relationship and experience with Zong Lu: "In short, he and I have nothing to do."
"Did you explain to me your relationship with Huo Lang, Nanting, Yuan Yi and those crazy bees and butterflies in such a perfunctory way before?"
Su Mi:......
Do you want to get a small notebook and write down all the names?
But he still tried his best to restrain himself: "Huo Shenxiu, let me say it again, I have nothing to do with them. I have nothing to do with Zong Lu."
Seeing her face turn red, Huo Shenxiu raised his fingertips, opened them, and held her restless chin in his palm:
"Why are you excited? Are you feeling guilty because I discovered another person you are having an affair with? Su Mi, you are so awesome. I have to wear this cuckold in different styles every day. I don't have time to wipe my butt after you. Dr. Gu
That’s quite right.”
When Su Mi heard him mention Gu Qingruo, she couldn't calm down anymore.
When the fire came, she pressed her face down hard, opened her lips, and bit him unceremoniously.
Huo Shenxiu knew that he had mentioned the wrong person, so he let go, glanced at the tiny teeth marks on the back of his hand, laughed angrily, and pinched her chin with two fingers: "It would be a waste not to open the express box with such powerful teeth."
I thought this little woman had a strong mouth, but it turns out her teeth are also so strong.
Su Mi shook off his hand, fumbled for the car lock and wanted to get out of the car, but he had already locked it in advance: "Where to go? There are people coming and going on the main road. Do you want to be seen and make the news?"
Su Mi smiled coldly: "Yes, after all, Huo Donggang and Dr. Gu have already been in the news once."
Before he spoke, she sat upright, facing forward, and spoke again:
"Let's drive. Back to Huayuan."
Seeing her face calm down, he thought her temper had subsided and drove away.
When they arrived at Huayuan, Su Mi got out of the car and walked towards the house as soon as they stopped in the courtyard.
Huo Shenxiu didn't take it seriously, hoping that she would calm down before looking for her.
Unexpectedly, after parking the car and entering, I saw her leading Xiao Subao downstairs, still carrying her satchel.
Little Subao is also carrying a school bag for kindergarten and wearing a little yellow duck hat.
Sister He was still with me from behind, carrying a small duffel bag, and followed us down together.
He paused, his eyes stern, and he stepped forward to block the mother and daughter's path:
"Where to go?"
Xiao Subao replied on behalf of Su Mi: "Go and stay at your uncle's house!"
Huo Shenxiu's expression suddenly collapsed: "Which uncle?"
Xiao Subao: "Uncle Jinhang!"
Huo Shenxiu was inexplicably relieved, but his tone became even colder: "There is no place for you to live here? What are you doing?"
Su Mi touched Xiao Subao's head and smiled:
"I moved here with little Su Bao shamelessly in the beginning. Now that I'm gone, Mr. Huo should be very happy."
