The alarm clock rang six or seven times, and I yawned and climbed out of bed. After washing and sleepwalking, I changed into a T-shirt and shorts like a sleepwalker. Then I went downstairs like a ghost, walked to the refrigerator and opened the door.

The cold air blowing on my face woke me up a bit. I dazedly stretched out my hand to touch the refrigerator twice, and found a carton of milk.

The bottle I opened yesterday morning was almost finished by me. I shook the milk carton and felt that there was still a sip or two left in it, so I opened the carton and drank the rest.

Then I opened a new carton of milk and poured it into my mouth again.

"Ding."

There was a crisp sound behind me, as if something hard had hit the porcelain. I turned around with the milk carton and saw Huo Xiao sitting at the dining table having breakfast.

The sound just now should be that he knocked on the plate with a fork, I reacted, and walked to the table resentfully, picked up a glass and poured milk.

Huo Xiao was satisfied, and said, "Pour me a glass too."

I reluctantly poured him a glass of milk, sat down across from him, and reached out to touch a piece of bread from the plate in front of him.

Folding the bread in half, I bit off half a piece of bread, puffed up my cheeks and took out my phone, ready to see if there were any small parks around where I could run.

As soon as I turned on the phone, a few messages popped up. I stuffed the remaining half piece of bread into my mouth and clicked on the message, only to find that it was from Old Tan.

It turned out that after I left, no one helped him manage the boxing gym. He wanted me to help him get a job posting on the Internet. It would be best to find a well-educated college student who could help him manage the accounts.

I:"……"

After drinking the milk in the cup in one go, I decided to go out for a run first, and then talk to Lao Tan about the recruitment of the boxing gym when I came back.

When I was about to go out, Huo Xiao just finished packing and was standing at the entrance putting on his coat. I passed him sideways and changed shoes in front of the shoe rack with one hand on the wall.

After picking up the last sneaker, I stomped my feet and opened the door to go out.

Huo Xiao lowered his head slightly to put on his tie, and casually asked where I was going.

I had opened the door and turned my head when he spoke, telling him I was going out for a run.

Huo Xiao dresses very formally when he goes out every day, a well-pressed suit and tie are tied meticulously.

He is much taller than me, with broad shoulders and long legs like a hanger, and a well-tailored suit looks like a model in a window, with a sense of alienation.

He's already tied his tie, raised his wrist and adjusted his cuff buttons, and told me there's a treadmill in the gym upstairs, so you don't have to go out if you want to run.

When he was talking, my attention was on his big, bony hands. When I saw his hands, I remembered the slap he slapped me on the face a few days ago.

Maybe it was because I was standing still and not talking, Huo Xiao took a step forward, almost sticking to my face, looking down at me slightly: "Why are you in a daze?"

"what……"

I took a step back subconsciously, "I see."

I don't know if it's because I dodged too clearly, Huo Xiao's face was a little unhappy, he grabbed the car keys and went out, and he didn't forget to tell me before he left: "Don't forget to go out with me tonight, pack it up in advance, I will I'll pick you up after get off work."

After Huo Xiao left, I didn't feel like exercising anymore, so I lay down on the sofa and made a video call to Lao Tan.

I have always liked to stay in bed. When I was in the boxing gym, Lao Tan often gave me stares to wake me up and clean up. So I showed him the video at this time, and he was obviously a little surprised.

"The sun is coming out from the west? Why are you willing to wake up?"

Old Tan was wearing a black vest, with beads of sweat hanging on his forehead, and he was panting a bit when speaking, obviously just finished punching.

When I told him that I got up and exercised, Old Tan sneered unceremoniously, "Is it because I'm too lazy in my new home and get rejected?"

"..."

It's true to be disgusted, but Huo Xiao dislikes me not only because I'm lazy.

I reached out and rubbed my eyes, pulled a cushion from the side and put it behind my head, and asked Lao Tan why he suddenly thought of recruiting.

The scale of the boxing gym is not too big, and there are students on weekdays to help clean up. I don't believe that he recruited people because he was too busy.

Sure enough, Lao Tan sighed after listening to me, "Although I usually think you are sleepy and can eat, but you are not at home, I always feel that something is missing."

When Lao Tan was talking, his shoulders relaxed, and his whole body showed a sense of fatigue, which was quite different from his strong and vigorous appearance in the past.

He raised me so much that I couldn't even be by his side.

My eyes were a little sour, and I wanted to tell Lao Tan that I missed him.

But I really can't say it out, Lao Tan and I are not the kind of people who like to talk about their disgusting things, if I cry and tell Lao Tan that I miss him, he will definitely call me like a little bitch again.

After chatting with Lao Tan for a while, people came to the boxing gym one after another. Lao Tan told me that he was going to start busy, so he reluctantly hung up the video.

I spent the whole morning editing a recruitment notice with room and board, posted it on the Xining forum, and asked my friends in Xining to help me keep an eye out for suitable candidates.

After doing this, I stretched my body tensely on the sofa, hummed a song and opened the delivery software.

After eating ready-made meals for many days, my hands were a little itchy, so I ordered some raw fruits, vegetables and meat, and prepared to start a fire at home.

Huo Xiao's insanity didn't allow me to use the kitchen, because he thought the smell of oily fume was unpleasant, so I agreed happily, but actually didn't care about it.

The rule is that the dead are alive. I found that Huo Xiao is actually quite coaxable. As long as I don’t disobey him in front of him, it’s fine even if I tear down the house. Pack it up and you're good to go.

Although I am a person who remembers to eat but not to beat, it is not enough to forget the pain when the scar is healed. The time Huo Xiao beat me to the hospital left me with a lingering fear, and I never dared to lose my temper with him again.

After the takeaway arrived, I fried chicken chops, cut a fruit plate, happily started a movie, and sat on the floor in front of the sofa to eat and watch the movie.

Halfway through seeing it, I remembered that there was surveillance in the living room. I looked around and finally found a round thing on the wine cabinet.

That should be the camera. I copied a hat and wanted to put it on the camera, but I couldn’t reach it even if I stretched my arms. I could only step on the second-to-last shelf of the wine cabinet and barely put the hat on. above.

I don't know how Huo Xiao felt when he turned on the monitor and saw the darkness.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, my father called me. He first asked me about my habits at Huo Xiao's place, then asked if Huo Xiao treated me well, did he make things difficult for me, and asked me what I had learned.

After I finished my answer somewhat perfunctorily, I asked him what he was doing on the phone.

If he said that he called me just because he cared about my well-being, I would definitely not believe it.

Sure enough, my father pondered on the phone for a while, and finally explained the purpose of the call: "I heard from your uncle that Huo Xiao is going to take you to your uncle's house tonight."

I was playing with an orange in my hand, and hummed, not quite understanding what he meant.

The father smiled over there and said: "Xiaoxue, it's like this. There are too many people here tonight. I'm afraid you won't get used to it. If you don't want to go, I'll tell Huo Xiao for you, so you don't have to go." gone."

What he said was impeccable, as if he was really just a father who cared about his child's opinion, rather than worrying about me going out and embarrassing him.I rolled the orange on my lap, pretending not to understand the hint in his words: "Oh, don't worry, I want to go, it's good to go out with my brother to see the world."

"..."

As if he didn't expect me to answer like this, there was silence for a while, and my father smiled reluctantly, "Okay then, listen to what your brother has to say."

The feeling of being rejected by my own biological father was not comfortable, so I hung up the phone, and I sat on the carpet for a while, losing the appetite to eat the orange in my hand.

Getting up from the carpet, I called Huo Xiao.

It was his secretary who answered the phone, the one who took me to buy clothes that day. She told me that Huo Xiao was in a meeting and she could tell me if there was anything.

I wanted to tell Huo Xiao that I would not go to the banquet at night, but I calmed down again when I heard the secretary's voice, and the secretary was still asking me if I had anything to do, so I made up a reason: "Well... I'm going out with my brother at night, and I don't know which outfit to wear, so I call and ask."

The secretary was amused by me, "That's all, okay, I'll tell Mr. Huo for you after the meeting."

I just wanted to tell her that I don't need to tell Huo Xiao, but she has already hung up the phone.

This is very embarrassing.

Half an hour later, Huo Xiao called me. First, he gave me a scolding on the phone, telling me that he is very busy, so don't ask him everything.

I quickly apologized to him, Huo Xiao snorted coldly, "Forget it, I'll go back and help you choose clothes early."

"..."

I smiled dryly: "Brother, don't be so numb..."

"beep--"

Huo Xiao hung up the phone.

I looked at the phone that was hung up in my hand, and my heart was full of mixed feelings for a while, I wished I could slap myself five times in a row: What kind of monster are you, you have to call Huo Xiao!This is just great!He's coming back early!Are you uncomfortable staying at home by yourself?
