Chapter 17

I fell into a drowsy sleep, as if I heard someone say to take my temperature, and then a thin and cool thing was stuffed into my mouth.

I was still sleepy, I opened my eyes a little, and saw Huo Xiao bending over and fiddling with something on the bedside.

He didn't notice that I woke up, and he was still talking to Aunt Tang in a low voice: "I bought porridge."

Aunt Tang was a little far away from me, and I couldn't really hear what she said. Huo Xiao straightened up to listen to Aunt Tang, and returned after a while: "I know, but Grandpa said he has to go tonight."

Aunt Tang seemed to want to talk, but Huo Xiao turned his back to me and made a silent gesture, "Go out and talk."

He and Aunt Tang went out and closed the door carefully.

I closed my eyes again, and pressed my tongue against the thermometer in my mouth.The sweet and hot aroma of the porridge on the bedside wafted over. I closed my eyes and smacked the thermometer in my mouth, and my stomach grumbled.

I had to open my eyes and look at the porridge on the bedside.

It was very warm in the bed, and I didn't really want to reach for the porridge, not to mention that I still had a thermometer in my mouth.

Just when I was struggling, Huo Xiao opened the door and came in again. I looked at him with the thermometer in my mouth, and blinked my eyes as a greeting.

Huo Xiao came over and took the thermometer out of my mouth, pinched the tail of the thermometer and looked at the reading, frowning.

I looked at him from the bed and asked him where Aunt Tang had gone.

Huo Xiao took out a piece of paper from the bedside to wipe the thermometer, and told me that Aunt Tang had gone back first.

He sat down beside my bed and took the porridge to feed me.

The way he serves the porridge is like those workers on TV who feed the big geese frantically in order to raise fatty liver. Of course, I dare not feed him, so I said hoarsely that I can do it myself.

Huo Xiao obviously didn't think I could eat by myself, maybe Aunt Tang told him to take good care of me, so he scooped up a spoonful of porridge and handed it to me.

I waited for him for a while, and found that he really wanted me to just lie on the bed and eat without thinking about whether I would choke to death on the porridge.

I didn't want to choke to death, so I had to move my body vigorously, leaning against the head of the bed and sitting up.

Huo Xiao feeds the porridge very perfunctorily, often before I swallow this one mouthful, the next mouthful is waiting for me on my lips.

Occasionally, when it leaked from my mouth in a hurry, he would pull a tissue and roughly wipe it on my mouth. I really couldn't stand being wiped twice by him, so I asked him in a low voice if I could eat by myself.

I lowered my eyes and said sincerely: "I think I have strength now, I can eat by myself, really."

Huo Xiao remained expressionless, and brought another spoonful of porridge to my mouth, "I'm afraid you might spill it on the bed."

I had to open my mouth to hold the spoon in my mouth, he sucked the spoon very hard, and a little soup fell on my mouth, this time before he wiped my mouth, I quickly stuck out my tongue and licked it off.

Just kidding, if I let him wipe it again, I guess my mouth will be torn.

After stumbling and feeding the porridge, Huo Xiao breathed a sigh of relief as if he had completed some difficult task.

He also bought medicine and put it on the bedside. He broke a few pills and fed me according to the instructions. He didn't give me any water, probably because he wanted me to swallow dryly.

I reached out and pushed him, reminding him: "Water."

Huo Xiao fed me water again and hit my gums with the rim of the cup.

Letting him take care of me is more tiring than fighting.

After taking the medicine, I lay paralyzed on the bed and didn't want to move. I felt that my condition was worsened by Huo Xiao's care.

After cleaning up the trash, Huo Xiao came over to touch my forehead again, and I took this opportunity to ask him, "Can I stay at home today?"

I really don't have the strength, I don't want to move, and I don't want to go to any birthday party.

Huo Xiao looked down at me, "No."

"But I'm really uncomfortable." I looked at him beggingly, hoping that he would compromise: "It's very uncomfortable, I have no strength in my body."

Huo Xiao looked at me with an unquestionably tough attitude: "No, Grandpa said you must go."

I was a little annoyed by his almost unkind attitude, "But I'm sick, I'm sick, I don't want to go."

But Huo Xiao didn't take my words seriously at all, no matter what I said, he only insisted on one attitude: "We must go."

I felt very tired, and it was completely unreasonable to talk to someone like him. I could only force myself to get up from the bed and ask him when he was going to leave.

Seeing that I was willing to go, Huo Xiao softened his tone a little, "I told Grandpa that we will go there at night, and you can sleep for a while."

I said "oh", got off the bed with bare feet, and walked around him to the bathroom to wash up.

After I washed my head in a daze, I came out of the bathroom and found that Huo Xiao was still in my room. I didn't want to pay attention to him, and dragged my feet to the cloakroom to find clothes.

Sometimes I really wonder why the Huo family brought me back. My father doesn’t love me, and no one seems to be very happy when I come back. They don’t care about how I am doing, and they only impose what they need. Give me.

I randomly picked out a set of clothes and wanted to change, Huo Xiao followed in, took one from my hand, and took a new one to help me change.

I asked him to help me get dressed in a daze, and then followed him out the door in a daze.

At the banquet, Mr. Huo took me to the stage and introduced me to everyone present. I was viewed and discussed like an exhibit, and there were reporters carrying cameras in the audience.

Mr. Huo next to him is still happily talking about something. It’s nothing more than something. He is very happy that I can come back. He will let me slowly start the business of the Huo family in the future. Everyone should help me more. To be honest, I should be glad I'm sick, if I usually see so many people, my legs should be weak.

Huo Xiao followed me all the time, and when I was about to lose my standing, he reached out and gave me a hand behind my waist.

After stepping down, Mr. Huo wanted to take me to meet some people. He seemed really happy, "Let's go, Huo Xiao, you follow."

Huo Xiao responded softly, and then asked me if I was hungry, and if I wanted to eat something first.

I really don't have an appetite, and I feel a little nauseous looking at the dazzling array of food next to me.

I followed Mr. Huo and listened to his entertainment, walked half the venue, contacted what I heard, and finally understood.

The old man has three children, and the daughter is not married. Huo Xiao's father and my father add up, and there are only two grandchildren of me and Huo Xiao.

I felt like laughing when I heard it, the co-author's family really has a throne to inherit.

Some people around are flattering, saying that Mr. Huo's two sons are capable, and his grandson is also a good-looking talent. Huo Xiao has managed the company so well, and now that he has a grandson back, the old man can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Mr. Huo was elated when he heard it, grabbed my hand, and patted the back of my hand, "Yeah, it's young people's world now, we old people should take a break."

I followed behind the old man and was praised from head to toe. I didn't know that I had so many things worthy of praise. Huo Xiao seemed to be used to dealing with such occasions, and his face was still calm It looks like, but occasionally the old man will toast me when he asks me to toast.

The old man has his own social circle, and after taking me for a walk, he wants to chat with old friends, and let Huo Xiao take me around.

Huo Xiao asked me if I would like to find a place to sit for a while, I nodded.

I bumped into my mother when I was walking towards the resting place. We were a little embarrassed when we looked at each other, but the little girl next to her spoke up: "Brother, your face is so red, is it hot?"

She called me brother and I realized she was my younger sister. I felt that she looked different from the last time I saw her, so I didn't recognize her at the first time.

I thought it was an illusion caused by my fever, but she said it herself: "Brother, brother, I flew to Korea last week to change my nose, what do you think?"

Huo Xiao hummed perfunctorily, and I looked at the exaggerated bridge of the nose, and made a good-looking compliment against my conscience.

My mother kept looking at me with a complicated expression while holding the wine glass. When I looked at her again, she seemed to have made some decision, "Let's talk?"

I followed her to the terrace as promised.

After standing on the terrace, she took a deep look at me, took a sip of red wine, and said with some emotion: "In a blink of an eye, you are so old."

I didn't know what to say, so I nodded.

Fortunately, she just wanted to talk and didn't need my response.She shook the wine glass in her hand, looking at the brightly lit Jinjiang City outside the terrace.

"Chun Chun, do you know what happened to me when you were lost? I am your own mother. You were born in October. I love you more than anyone else. I am the most devastated when you can't find me. Yes, I cried and ran halfway across Jinjiang City when I realized you were gone, my heel broke and my voice became hoarse."

"But do you know?" She raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and her voice became turbulent: "everyone blamed me after I returned to Huo's house, your grandma...forget it, she is dead, I don't need it Tell you this."

"Anyway, all these years when you were lost, I can no longer hold my head up in the Huo family. Your grandfather has been forcing me to give birth to another grandson for him. My natal family has ignored me... Chun Chun," she turned He turned around and looked at me, with tears in his eyes, "I really had a hard time, half of the time in the past ten years or so, I have regretted giving birth to you, and I often think again if I didn't give birth You don't have all of this behind."

"But there is nothing wrong with you. I really know that you are not wrong. I just can't get over the hurdle in my heart. Chunchun, you don't know how uncomfortable I am. I see you really love and hate. I really... ..."

The wind on the terrace was a bit strong, and it made me feel top-heavy. I watched her talk from the beginning to the end when she broke down in tears, but I didn't feel much emotion in my heart.

She was right, and I was right, it was the whole Huo family that was wrong.

They are old-fashioned, feudal and unreasonable.Their system is a man-eating beast that eats a normal person with skin and bones, and when they spit it out, there is not even scum left.

I don't really resent my mom for not loving me, but I can't love her either.

At this moment on the terrace, I clearly realized that the one who loves me the most in this world, and the only one who regards me as a family member rather than anything else, may only be that old Tan in Xining.
