Xuan Ruoxi looked at Huo Jiyun's back. His familiar movements were completely unlike a group president. Imagine that the emperor could cook? Similarly, Huo Jiyun's identity was not far from that of the emperor. But at this moment, Xuan Ruoxi
I feel that Huo Jiyun is not an emperor, but an ordinary man. A good-looking, simple, and sincere man. Don't you feel moved? You can deceive others, but you cannot deceive yourself.
"Wow, it smells so good! The looks are pretty good, and the taste must be delicious." The two-hour cooking competition finally came to an end. Looking at the table full of dishes, Xuan Ruoxi was so surprised that she was speechless.
Xiao Ding praised him exaggeratedly. In front of the big dining table, there were more than twenty people, adults and children. They usually sit together to eat like this. This is to let them feel the warmth of a big family.
.
"Children, tonight's dinner is cooked by Uncle Huo and Uncle Sen. Do we want to express our gratitude?" Xuan Ruoxi said while gesturing. The children all clapped their hands and said thank you. No.
If you can speak, smile and applaud.
"You're welcome, it's our honor to serve you all, so - in order to keep the food delicious, let's get started!" Huo Jiyun clapped his hands and everyone cheered.
"Let's go!" Xiao Ding waved excitedly. The children also raised their chopsticks and spoons to enjoy the food in front of them. During the meal, everyone was very happy and praised the delicious food while eating.
"This is so delicious. Mr. Huo, your skills can make you a star chef!" Xiao Ding gave a thumbs up and said without exaggeration. Huo Jiyun just smiled modestly.
"If it's delicious, eat more, CD!" She looked at Xuan Ruoxi who was picking up the food for the child. A strand of her hair was hanging down, and her fair profile was gentle and demure. Looking at the child's smile, she looked like a loving person.
Just like her mother. She no longer concealed the throbbing in her heart. Her clear eyes followed her all the way, taking in her every move.
Xiao Ding bumped Sensen with his elbow, "Hey! Look at Mr. Huo's eyes. He keeps looking at my sister Ruoxi. He must be in love with her." Sensen rolled his eyes and kindly reminded her: "You should take it easy.
", don't talk about Mr. Huo casually. If you make him unhappy, be careful that he doesn't come." Sensen was deliberately trying to scare her. Who made her only have Mr. Huo in her eyes, and she was talking so close to him! Didn't she know that he was
Can a man's heart beat?
Xiao Ding, who was frightened, didn't realize what someone was thinking at all, but gave Sensen a dubious look.
"Really or not? Is Mr. Huo so stingy?" Then he thought about it, Sensen must be lying to her. If he was as smart as her, how could he be fooled? He sat upright angrily and stopped looking at Sensen.
Sensen, who was ignored for a moment, almost cried without tears. Unexpectedly, this girl was so shrewd that he did not scare her, but instead let himself be left out! He sighed deeply, it was really not worth the gain.
The pleasant dinner was over, and Xuan Ruoxi and Xiao Ding were responsible for cleaning up the aftermath.
Huo Jiyun and Sensen were respectfully asked to take a rest because they cooked a large table of delicious food.
"Two great chefs, you have worked hard. Let us women do the rest. Please go and have a rest." Huo Jiyun and Sensen were of course more respectful than obeying orders.
Rather than letting them rest, it is better to play with the children.
"Brother Ji Yun, you haven't been here for a long time." A little boy came forward and hugged Huo Jiyun's thigh. The little boy's name was Xiao Yi. Huo Jiyun still remembered that he could still talk, but he had congenital deformities. His head looked like
He is larger than the average child, but his body is very small. The proportions look very uncoordinated. This condition is caused by incest and there is no way to cure it. After his parents divorced, the child was sent to an orphanage.
"Xiaoyi, have you been good lately? Did you stick to the painting that brother Huo Jiyun taught you last time?"
"Well, I persisted. Sister Ruoxi said, I'll show you when I come. I'll go get it now. Brother Jiyun, wait for me." The little boy is nine years old this year, but he is only as tall as Huo Jiyun's waist. Huo Jiyun
A trace of pity flashed in his eyes. The child is so innocent, but he has to pay for the irresponsible and ignorant people!
Not long after, Xiao Yi came to Huo Jiyun with several of his works. He raised his hand and eagerly wanted to show it. Huo Jiyun smiled and knelt down and took the painting from Xiao Yi's hand. Looking carefully, he saw another
Comments one by one.
"Well, the color is good. The pattern is a bit messy. And the painting is crooked." Xiao Yi smiled sheepishly, nodding his head and rubbing his fingers on the painting.
"Overall, it's not bad. You've made a lot of progress. To express your encouragement, brother Ji Yun plans to reward you. Tell me, what gift do you want?" Huo Jiyun put away the drawing paper and looked at Xiao Yi seriously. The little guy drooped his big head.
, twisted his body in embarrassment. Huo Jiyun held back his smile and waited for him to speak.
"Xiao Yi, he doesn't need gifts. He just needs brother Ji Yun to come and paint with him often. Xiao Yi, are you right?" Xuan Ruoxi finished clearing the dishes and happened to see Huo Ji Yun and Xiao Yi.
There was an interaction between them. So he went over and squatted next to Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi nodded heavily and ran away embarrassedly.
"Xiao Yi, don't run, be careful of falling." Xuan Ruo did not forget to remind Xiao Yi. Before the smiling cheek could be retracted, Huo Jiyun held down his hand. They were still squatting. When Xiao Yi was there just now,
Xuan Ruoxi didn't notice that she and Huo Jiyun were very close to each other. So close that their knees almost hit each other. Huo Jiyun's sudden move made her blush.
Huo Jiyun found that he really liked watching Xuan Ruoxi blush. Her shyness seemed to him to be heart-warming acquiescence.
"Ruoxi, I'm very happy tonight. Thank you for letting me be trusted and cared about."
"Huo Ji Yun, why do you say that? You are loved by children because of your sincerity and love." Xuan Ruoxi withdrew her hand in embarrassment and took a step back when she stood up. Xiao Ding and
Seeing that the situation had changed, Sensen took the children and left quietly. When Xuan Ruoxi discovered that she and Huo Jiyun were the only two people left in the room. Their eyes met, and Huo Jiyun's height made her feel oppressed.
This was not the first time that she was alone together, and Xuan Ruoxi was still not used to it. Huo Jiyun was not unreasonable, let alone frivolous. But it still made her feel at a loss and panicked. She was smart and realized that she would not be like this in front of other men.
, neither Sensen nor Yu Shaoqing can. When meeting loving people of the opposite sex, they will stay polite and distant. Only when facing Huo Jiyun, their heartbeat will speed up and they will panic.
This feeling was not unfamiliar. She had experienced it in her previous life when she first met Emperor Wen. The vivid memories of the past made her feel uneasy. Some memories from her previous life were so deep that she could not choose new relationships.
How deep her expectations are, how deep her disappointment is. It’s not that she loves Emperor Wen so much, but that she has never received true love. Unique feelings are a luxury in the deep palace. Her panic at the first meeting with Emperor Wen was nothing more than
It was a short-lived flash in the pan. After Concubine Li entered the palace, she became desolate and miserable. The queen was just a name. So what if she was both talented and beautiful? After all, it was nothing compared to the true feelings of childhood sweethearts getting along day and night and sharing weal and woe.
Huo Jiyun really couldn't bear to see her struggling, so he took a step forward, hugged her gently, and gently stroked her hair with his warm palms. For the sudden hug, Xuan Ruoxi didn't know how to react for a moment, but froze.
Don't dare to move your body.
"Hey!" He sighed softly from above his head, and Xuan Ruoxi felt his helplessness.
"Ruoxi, no matter what you have encountered in the past, I will be here from now on. You don't have to be afraid, just trust me, okay?" Huo Jiyun's words made Xuan Ruoxi's eyes sore. Did he feel her entanglement?
"I'm sorry." The voice sounded like a mosquito, but Huo Jiyun still heard it.
"No need to say sorry, I know that I will wait for you to open your heart and accept me." He let go of her gently, picked up the coat on the side and said goodbye softly.
Xuan Ruoxi nodded and watched him slowly walk out of the door, tears falling quietly.
"Master Huo, are you leaving? I'll drive!" A deep voice sounded outside the door.
Then came Xiao Ding's farewell, and then the car started to leave.
The mobile phone vibrated with messages, and Xuan Ruoxi opened the message bar. It was a message from Huo Jiyun: [I am very happy tonight, see you tomorrow.]
Staring blankly at the phone screen, Xuan Ruoxi's tears flowed even more fiercely. [Thank you, goodbye.]
He said he was happy. Maybe, she should be braver.
The street lights are on, and a warm glow surrounds the corridor of Xifuyuan. The quiet night sky is full of stars. The windmill jasmine in the courtyard is sleeping quietly, waiting for the light of dawn to lead them to wake up happily.
"Old man, these are the recent interactions between Mr. Huo and Miss Xuan." In the study room of the Huo family villa, Mr. Huo was listening to the account of the housekeeper Lao Fu. He also attached some photos. The old man's old face was satisfied.
smile.
"It seems that if this continues, in less than three months, that boy Ji Yun will be able to embrace this beauty."
"Master Huo's emotional intelligence is still like yours." Butler Lao Fu's words made the old man chuckle.
"What a mouthful you have." Having said that, the old man felt very happy.
"But - I still need to add some fire."
"What do you want to do, old man?"
"Of course I mean it sincerely!" Uh, why do these words sound so familiar?
The old man smiled weirdly, and the butler Lao Fu felt chills running down his spine. I hope Mr. Huo won't be too miserable.
After countless inner struggles, Yu Shaoqing decided to come to see Xuan Ruoxi. After returning home from the bar that day, starting from the next day, he was immersed in work. He kept numbing himself with work. Then he went
Getting drunk in a bar late at night. However, two weeks later, Xuan Ruoxi's beautiful face is still in his mind, and her unique beauty is still flooding in his heart. He is going crazy! He is sure that he will miss her if he doesn't see her.
