The snow was still rustling, and the cold wind carried the ice to blew away the last bit of heat in the human body. Yu Li's body was cold. Standing in the snow, she couldn't stop trembling. She gently pulled Huo Zhenyu's hand and tried to calm him down, but it seemed useless.

The woman looked at Huo Zhenyu calmly, and after a long time, a faint disdain appeared in her eyes: "Everyone said that her son looks like a father, I don't believe it, and I still think that I can raise a good one. Now, you and your father are really a virtue, both of you and your ungrateful wolves, and feeding unfamiliar dogs is disgusting."

"Auntie." Yu Li frowned slightly and looked at her disagreement.

After the woman looked at her, she swallowed the even more unpleasant words and looked at Huo Zhenyu with a cold face: "I gave birth to you and raised you until the age of eighteen. I don't owe you or your father. If you want me to divorce, don't look for other men. I tell you, it's impossible."

"I have never stopped you from looking for a man!" He clearly said that he had no mother, but he still retorted violently. Huo Zhenyu pointed at Li Shu's nose and asked the woman, "But what are you looking for? A duck? Are you not afraid of being sick?!"

Li Shu immediately became impatient: "Who the hell are you talking about?"

After he said that, he was about to knock Huo Zhenyu off his hand, but the woman called him sternly: "Li Shu!"

Li Shu paused, rolled his eyes and stopped. Yu Li quickly grabbed Huo Zhenyu to prevent them from having another conflict.

The woman calmed down a little and glanced at Huo Zhenyu and said lightly: "I am single now. I will look for anyone I want. You have no right to interfere," she said, pausing for a moment, then showed a sarcastic smile, "It's okay if you want to interfere. I can break up with him, but the premise is that you break up with this girl."

"You're dreaming!" Huo Zhenyu's face turned pale.

The woman disdained: "Then stop talking nonsense in front of me."

Yu Li had a headache and carefully persuaded: "You all calm down. Can we find a place to chat slowly?"

"No need," Huo Zhenyu refused expressionlessly, "She is not me, why should I talk to her?"

The woman's expression faded: "What do you mean?"

"Don't you understand?" Huo Zhenyu sneered, "I don't have a mother, you don't have a son. We are strangers, and there is no need to..."

Bang!

With a straightforward slap, Huo Zhenyu's face turned to the side, and the drooping hair covered his eyes, making it impossible for people to see his expression clearly. Yu Li didn't expect that the woman would do anything, so she hurriedly pulled Huo Zhenyu behind her to protect her: "Auntie, he's just talking angry."

The woman thought her words were air, and just stared at Huo Zhenyu with a dark face: "Stranger? I worked for you to get up early and work late, and for you, I still endured it for four years, and for you, I spent my whole life in that family for you and I finally..." Before she finished speaking, she paused for a moment, then laughed absurdly, "You tell me now that we are strangers?"

Huo Zhenyu lowered his eyes and said no word.

The woman's heart seemed to be completely cold. She laughed at herself and said lightly: "Huo Zhenyu, I just want to live for myself once. Is there anything wrong?"

Huo Zhenyu said nothing, but his clenched fists were trembling.

The woman did not look at him again, turned around and walked towards the depths of the night. Li Shu sneered and followed him casually. Yu Li looked at the woman's trembling back, pursed her lips and called out to Li Shu who had just left.

"Hello!"

Li Shu turned around and asked in a bad tone: "What are you doing?"

"She can't catch a cold, you can take her to a warm place." Yu Li reminded.

Li Shu paused for a moment, his eyes full of disdain: "The cat cries a rat." After that, he chased the woman.

Yu Li watched them leave before sighing and looking at the person in front of him. After seeing the clear slap on his face, he felt so uncomfortable: "Does it hurt?"

A snowflake fell on Huo Zhenyu's eyelashes and soon melted, leaving only a small amount of water stains. He was silent for a long time before he opened his face and spoke lightly: "It doesn't hurt."

The people around him were still looking at them from time to time. Yu Li was reluctant to let Huo Zhenyu face these gazes, so she tiptoed to help him put on the hat of the down jacket, and when he looked at him, she squeezed out a smile: "Let's go."

After saying that, she held his hand and walked forward. Huo Zhenyu didn't say anything, but just quietly watched the hands of the two people holding each other and followed her obediently.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and there was already a faint white frost on the road. They walked through the downtown city together and walked on the deserted streets, so quiet that they could only hear each other's footsteps.

The two walked forward speechlessly until they were almost at the gate of University A. Huo Zhenyu suddenly stopped. Yu Li, who was still walking forward, only felt her hands tightening and hurriedly stopped: "What's wrong?"

"...I won't go back tonight, okay?" he asked hoarsely.

Yu Li's lips moved, and she said anything she refused, but she couldn't say anything after meeting his sight.

"I have no other intentions, I just don't want to stay by myself." Huo Zhenyu was still holding on, but the pride in his eyes was like thin ice, which was as if it were broken at the touch.

Yu Li looked at him for a long time, and finally sighed: "Okay."

Huo Zhenyu barely raised the corner of his lips, held her hand tightly and turned out. Yu Li followed him quietly, becoming more and more worried about his condition, and did not pay attention to the road for a while. When he came to his senses, he found that the road he was walking was familiar.

Yu Li: "..." No, it looks very familiar to you to be precise.

Seeing the hotel sign getting closer and closer to her, she finally couldn't help but stop: "Wait, wait a moment, where will we go?"

"Hotel," Huo Zhenyu replied, paused after seeing her surprised eyes, "Don't worry, I'll do nothing."

Yu Li: "...I have nothing to worry about you, just, can't we change a hotel?" Huo Chen was in this hotel, how dare she go with him!

Huo Zhenyu frowned: "But the only one nearby is pretty good, and it's close to the school, making it convenient for classes tomorrow."

"Yes, is it? But why do I think this place is average," Yu Li smiled dryly, "Be good, let's change one, it's really not enough to be a small hotel near the school..."

"Xiaoyu, I'm not in the mood," Huo Zhenyu pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache. The slap on his face was still obvious. "If you don't have the mood to find something else, you can just coax me tonight. Can you just put it in a moment?"

Yu Li was speechless.

When he entered the hotel with him, Yu Li felt that she must have been crazy. However, when she came, she would probably seem more suspicious when she left. She could only glance around nervously and then go to the front desk with Huo Zhenyu after confirming that Huo Chen had fallen.

"Good evening, you two." The front desk greeted him kindly.

Huo Zhenyu took out his ID card: "Open a room."

The front desk was stunned: "You two are not..."

"Well, just open one." Yu Li interrupted her, afraid that she would expose something. After all, Huo Chen usually does not wear a mask when he is in a hotel, and these staff members are quite familiar with him.

The front desk was still puzzled, but when he saw Yu Li winking desperately, he probably thought they were quarreling, so he smiled and nodded: "Okay, then please show your ID card."

Huo Zhenyu turned his head and looked at Yu Li: "I didn't bring you, where are you?"

Just as Yu Li was about to speak, the front desk smiled and reminded: "It is impossible to open two rooms with an ID card."

"We just want one." Huo Zhenyu replied to the front desk.

Front desk: "But this lady..."

"Yeah, we know, we don't plan to use one to open two rooms," Yu Li quickly interrupted her and swallowed her saliva and asked, "I didn't bring mine either. Can I leave his ID number?"

In 2013, the management of hotels near the school was not so strict, and it was usually enough to register. Sure enough, when the front desk heard them say this, he naturally agreed. So Huo Zhenyu registered his identity information and the two followed the service staff upstairs.

Huo Zhenyu's room is on the sixth floor, while Huo Chen is on the seventh floor.

When Yu Li went upstairs, she was frightened every step, afraid that Huo Chen would jump out of some corner and then start the second battle tonight.

Fortunately, life was not as bloody as it was, so she and Huo Zhenyu entered the guest room smoothly. As soon as the door was closed, Huo Zhenyu hugged her on the door panel. He buried his face in her shoulder and didn't speak for a long time.

Yu Li quietly accompanied him, and after his mood stabilized, he slowly spoke: "You obviously care so much about your aunt, why do you say those words that hurt her?"

"I don't care about her." Huo Zhenyu's voice was muffled.

Yu Li laughed silently: "If you don't care, you won't be so sad." His father bullied him so much, but he didn't see him losing his composure as he is today. To put it bluntly, it's because he has a deeper relationship with his mother.

Huo Zhenyu stood up after hearing this, looked at her stubbornly for a moment before sitting down in the room with a tense face: "I'm not sad, and it's absolutely impossible for her to be sad because she's sad. It took so long to break off the relationship. I'm not happy yet."

Yu Li looked at him with a quarrel, and after hesitating for a long time, he walked up to him: "Actually, I think you shouldn't have spoken to your aunt like that just now..."

"Do you think it's my fault?" Huo Zhenyu frowned.

Seeing his appearance, Yu Li didn't dare to continue persuading him. After a moment of speechlessness, she said, "I'm just afraid that you will regret it."

"I can't regret it," Huo Zhenyu turned cold, "I will never recognize her in my life."

Yu Li looked at him with a silence. Just as she was about to say something, her phone vibrated. She paused and opened, and saw a message from "Dad": I'm so hungry, waiting for you.

Yu Li: "..." She forgot to bring him some food.

What she could see, Huo Zhenyu naturally saw it too. He was stunned for a moment and looked at Yu Li in confusion: "Uncle hasn't eaten yet?"

“…He was late.”

"Then why are you waiting for you? You are not at home." Huo Zhenyu still didn't understand.

Yu Li blinked and was about to speak when another message came from the other side: OK, I'm not hungry, I just want to see you.
