Mr. Huo, stop being abusive. Miss Fu is going on a blind date again.

Huo Yuanshi stayed there for three days in a row, except for eating and sleeping.

I spend most of my time reading, doing exercises on my own, and practicing calligraphy. I occasionally take time to look in the direction of the rockery.

However, I never saw Huo Mingzheng's family of three again.

Later, I heard from Aunt Lin that Huo Minzheng was clamoring to go to school, but he insisted on going to kindergarten even though he was not yet old enough. In the end, he was tricked by Cheng Weijin into going to the nursery.

"The eldest young master hopes that the second young master will play with you?" Aunt Lin added a coat to him.

Huo Yuanshi untied the arm sling hanging around his neck and put his hands into his sleeves, "A Zheng is so young, he and I can't play together."

"Yes, the second young master will only be three years old soon. He is indeed too young."

Moreover, although Huo Yuanshi was only eight years old, he had already completed elementary school knowledge, and his vision and intelligence had basically surpassed that of children of the same age. How could he still think about playing with a child as young as Huo Mingzheng.

"Did my dad say when he would be back?"

When he asked, Aunt Lin remembered that there was something she had forgotten to mention, and quickly replied with a smile: "Master Huo will be back in the afternoon."

Huo Yuanshi lowered his head and watched the buttons of his coat being fastened one by one, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved, "Okay."

That afternoon, Huo Chengyao came back as expected.

When he saw Huo Yuan, who was reading and writing alone in the garden, he walked up to him and stroked the back of his head with his generous palm, "I'm sorry, Dad. I said I would stay with you for three days. I shouldn't have broken my promise."

Huo Yuanshi continued to write calligraphy with his head down, "I'm not angry."

He was indeed not angry, but just being so quiet made Huo Chengyao feel even more guilty.

"This vertical hook is not good enough." Huo Chengyao said and held Huo Yuanshi's hand.

"In this way, put the pen away and draw the tip, and turn the pen upwards..."

Huo Yuanshi leaned against his father's warm chest and pursed his lips, "Is this right?"

Huo Chengyao's eyes flashed with admiration, "Yes, Ah Shi really learns everything quickly."

After the family banquet, Mr. Huo asked Huo Chengyao to stay, "How many days can you stay at home this time?"

"I'm leaving the day after tomorrow morning."

Mr. Huo pondered for a while, "You are busy with work and can't get away. Just forget it. We will take care of you."

"Some positions have been transferred recently. I can't leave my post for so many days to avoid being criticized."

Huo Chengqi took a sip of tea and said, "Brother, career is important, but I only have you as my father. No one else can replace my parents' company. Please spend more time with him when you have time."

Huo Chengyao sighed, "I know."

He suddenly remembered the picture of calligraphy when he taught Huo Yuan that afternoon, and looked at Mr. Huo, "You taught Ah Shi his calligraphy, right?"

"Well, Ah Shi is very talented. Within three years, his writing will be better than mine."

Huo Chengyao paused, "Dad loves him, so there's no need to praise him so much. I watched it this afternoon and there's still a lot of room for improvement."

"How could it be?" Mrs. Huo put down the tea cup, "Ask Chengqi, what is the calligraphy of Ah Shi?"

Huo Chengqi said in four concise words: "The muscles of the face and the bones of the willows."

Huo Chengyao was slightly stunned.

The "Yan" and "Liu" in Yanjin Liugu refer to the ancient calligraphers Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan respectively.

This idiom is used to praise excellent calligraphy.

"But I saw what he wrote..." Huo Chengyao shook his head in disbelief.

Huo Chengqi reminded him: "I guess Ah Shi wants you to spend more time with him and deliberately pretends that he can't write well."

Huo Chengyao chatted with his father and brother for a long time before returning to Bieyuan.

"Where's Ah Shi?" he asked Aunt Lin when he came in.

"The young master took medicine and fell asleep."

Huo Chengyao went upstairs and opened the door to Huo Yuanshi's room.

A dimly lit bedside lamp was on.

Huo Chengyao could hardly remember when his son had developed such a habit. He had never even noticed it before.

Closing the door behind his back, Huo Chengyao slowed down and walked to the bed, sitting next to Huo Yuanshi.

Warm fingertips brushed away the strands of hair from his forehead.

Huo Yuanshi had soft hair like his mother.

Huo Chengyao looked at the wound that was still covered with gauze.

Then I remembered that after he fell, he never said a word of pain.

The moment he retracted his hand, Huo Yuanshi slowly opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him in a daze, "Dad?"

"Did it wake you up?" Huo Chengyao lowered his voice.

Huo Yuanshi shook his head and said hesitantly, "Are you leaving again?"

Facing those silent eyes, Huo Chengyao felt suffocated. He looked away and tucked him in, "I just received a call. I have to go back early tomorrow morning."

After a brief silence, Huo Yuanshi nodded, "Then go and rest."

"Daddy will sleep with you tonight?"

Huo Yuanshi clenched the quilt with his fingers, "No need, I'm not used to people around me."

Huo Chengyao's heart trembled slightly.

The next day, before dawn, there was the sound of opening and closing the door from the direction of the master bedroom on the second floor.

After a while, the door of the second bedroom was opened from the outside.

A shadow fell on Huo Yuanshi.

Huo Chengyao pulled up the quilt that had fallen to Huo Yuan's stomach and gently covered his chest. He stood by the bed and looked at him for a while before leaving.

The moment the door closed, Huo Yuanshi opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling.

Huo Mansion was very peaceful in the early morning.

He heard the sound of shoe soles crunching on fallen leaves from downstairs.

There was a faint sound of car engines outside.

Huo Yuanshi had just closed his eyes when he heard a milky voice shouting: "That's a nursery there, not a kindergarten at all!"

Then, he heard Cheng Weijin coaxing patiently: "You are still young, and the kindergarten doesn't want you."

Huo Yuan got out of bed without even wearing slippers, walked to the window, opened the curtains and looked out.

Cheng Weijin hugged the fleshy and strong Huo Minzheng and said patiently: "I will arrange it for you. Kindergarten, right? You will go to it today."

Huo Yuanshi slowly loosened his fingers on the curtain, and the thick curtain blocked the mother and son from his view.

He sat on the sofa and touched the fractured spot on his right hand.

It turns out that even so, he can only keep what he wants for a short time.

Is he too greedy?

He asked Aunt Lin.

Aunt Lin comforted him, "Master Huo will definitely come back when he has time."

He waited until the Tomb-Sweeping Day holiday for news that Huo Chengyao was going home. However, he received a call the next day that his holiday was cancelled.

Summer is here in a blink of an eye.

Huo Mingzheng would clamor for him to teach him how to read. Sometimes he was very patient, but sometimes he was impatient and pushed him aside.

He would be in the same place every day, and Huo Minzheng didn't need to bother to find him.

But gradually, Huo Yuanshi discovered that Huo Mingzheng was not coming either.

It turned out that Huo Minzheng went to kindergarten, and then went to elementary school.

And he stopped going to school after the second grade of elementary school.

Huo Chengyao would come back to see him every once in a while, but most of the time they only contacted him on the phone, and the burden of teaching Huo Yuan fell on Mr. Huo.

After a family dinner, several members of the Huo family were sitting together, and Fourth Master Huo proposed the heir to the Huo family.

Huo's eldest son was in politics, his second son was in coaching, his third son was in the army, and his fifth son was weak.

The only one left was Fourth Master Huo.

As a result, Mrs. Huo announced in public that Huo Yuanshi was his heir. Everyone in the Huo family except Fourth Master Huo disagreed.
