Yu Li finally ran away almost in panic. After returning home, she crawled into the room and silently realized that everything she saw was fake. He was such a strong person, and he had never seen any storms. How could he have red eyes for a minced meat eggplant? She must have read it wrong...

"I haven't eaten home-cooked dishes for a long time."

"I forgot what the smell of home is like."

"Little fish, I want to eat meat eggplant."

Meat eggplant Meat eggplant Meat eggplant Meat eggplant... When Yu Li was about to be brainwashed by this dish, her phone suddenly vibrated. She was shocked. She felt guilty when she saw Huo Chen's video call. After adjusting her mood, she picked up: "...hello?"

"Why did it take so long to answer?" Huo Chen looked at her with a relaxed expression.

Yu Li coughed: "I didn't pay attention just now."

"Are you at home?" Huo Chen raised his eyebrows.

Yu Li nodded: "Yes."

"It's time to have supper, what are you going to eat today?" Huo Chen was curious.

Yu Li blurted out: "Meat eggplant!"

As soon as the words finished, the two of them calmed down instantly. Huo Chen narrowed his eyes meaningfully: "It sounds very familiar." Although he didn't remember everything seven years ago, he still knew that Dad Yu never did eggplant.

"...I just went to see you, who was nineteen years old." Yu Li confessed obediently.

Huo Chen smiled angrily: "You are honest, tell me, how many times have you seen him?"

Yu Li pursed her dry lips and hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Two or three times...but I am apt to say so much to him."

She was afraid that he would not believe it, so she raised three fingers to swear, but after making the oath, she looked at him pitifully: "Huo Chen, can I deliver him some food? He broke up with his parents and spent the New Year in a hotel, which is really pitiful."

After hearing him say it two or three times, Huo Chen's past memories emerged a lot. Comparing her words with her own memories, he knew that what she said was true.

Since it was true, he felt much more comfortable. Huo Chen looked at her without hesitation, and without hesitation, he exposed Huo Zhenyu's disguise: "Fake it, he is not pitiful."

"...Huh?" Yu Li was stunned.

Huo Chen sneered: "If I remember correctly, he should have been studying how to steal you away recently. Pretending to be pitiful and gaining sympathy is the first step. If you believe it, it is equivalent to being fooled by him."

Yu Li: “…”

"Don't believe it?" Huo Chen raised his eyebrows, "You wait. If you don't go to deliver food to him tonight, he may suggest you how miserable he is until you feel soft-hearted and run to find him."

"...It shouldn't be possible?" If it were Huo Chen, she felt that it was possible to do such a thing. After all, when she occasionally made her unhappy, she had used any shameless means, but Huo Zhenyu had not grown into him yet, so she wouldn't have to be much... simpler?

When Huo Chen saw her expression, he knew what she was thinking. He couldn't help but laughed angry: "Why, I can do such a thing, so he won't do such a thing?"

Yu Li was exposed and couldn't help but smile embarrassedly.

"Don't forget, he is the one I used to do now, everything I have done before," Huo Chen frowned, "If my mother hadn't been able to live without people, I would have wanted to go over and stare at you now."

Yu Li was puzzled: "Why are you staring at me?"

"Because in my memory, you took dinner to find me," Huo Chen glanced at her. "If I had reminded you like I did now, it means you are using my words as you heard. When I hung up the phone, you would go to find him."

Yu Li was guilty: "...You said he was pretending, so I wasn't that stupid."

"Really?" Huo Chen raised his eyebrows.

Yu Li nodded seriously: "Really!" Since Huo Zhenyu pretended, it would be too much, so she would not be fooled.

Huo Chen stared at her for a while, and finally snorted: "Student Xiaoyu, your credit for me is almost zero now. What should I do if I don't believe you very much?"

"Then, then we'll keep videos. I can't go and deliver food to him while videosing you, right?" Yu Li raised her chin and was confident.

Huo Chen has been provoking her for this promise. Hearing this, he restrained the corner of his lips and nodded reluctantly: "Okay, although I still don't believe you, since you have proposed a solution, let's try it."

Yu Li was satisfied, so she stretched with her cell phone, then went to bed and hugged a doll and continued the video with Huo Chen.

"By the way, I have a small question. Can you help me answer it? It's about you at the age of nineteen." Yu Li was afraid that he would not want to talk about Huo Zhenyu, so she deliberately used the complex title of "Nineteen-year-old him" to remind him from time to time that what she wanted to know was the person she was in the past, not the current Huo Zhenyu.

Although this little trick is not very good, Huo Chen is particularly useful. He also uses it to lie down on the bed like her, and looks at her in the video, looking at her in the video: "Ask."

Yu Li organized the language before speaking slowly: "I'm a little curious, why do you suddenly pretend to be pitiful at the age of nineteen?"

Huo Chen paused.

"...Don't get me wrong. I don't mean anything else, I'm just a little curious," Yu Li frowned slightly, as if she was really confused. "He gave me the feeling of being a very direct person. Although he was lazy all day long, his joy and anger were always on his face, disdainful of anyone using any means, but why did he suddenly pretend today?"

If you talk about the specific feeling, it is... gradually fading into pieces.

After Yu Li finished speaking, she looked at Huo Chen and waited for his answer. Seeing that he had not spoken for a long time, she kindly recalled for him: "Think carefully, why did the change so big at that time? Is there a think tank to help you come up with ideas?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Huo Chen's expression gradually subtle, and then his ears gradually turned red... What happened? Why was it suddenly shy?

Yu Li was even more curious: "Just say it, what made you suddenly change?"

"...Nothing is important. What matters is that you remember. He is lying to you now." Huo Chen tried to get over the topic.

Yu Li frowned: "Do you want to hide it from me?"

Huo Chen: "..."

"But I really want to know," under his slap, Yu Li's curiosity has changed from five points to ten. "You know, I can only win every battle if I know myself and your enemy."

"...You don't need to win every battle, just stay away from him." Huo Chen was still holding on.

Yu Li looked at him for a moment and was completely disappointed: "Just say it."

Huo Chen: "..." He was so stupid that he used all his money to report online dating classes. What did you ask him to say?

Just as he was as big as a fight and could not find a reason to be perfunctory, a knock on the door suddenly came from outside Yu Li's door. She paused, and said with a 'shhh' gesture to Huo Chen, then raised her voice: "Come in."

When the door opened, Yu's mother leaned into half of her body and was surprised when she saw her on the bed: "Why are you lying down?"

"...It's comfortable to lie down." Yu Li hid her phone in the quilt to avoid being discovered by her mother. Huo Chenmo in the phone breathed a sigh of relief, listening to them, thinking about how to pass by in a while later.

Yu's mother smiled after hearing Yu Li's words: "Little lazy, get up quickly, wait for us to go to your aunt's house for dinner."

Yu Li paused: "Don't you eat at home?"

"Well, your aunt has something to do tomorrow, so she can only change it to today," Yu's mother urged, "Get up quickly, give you twenty minutes, pack up and come out, your dad and I will wait outside."

"Oh, okay." Yu Li responded and took out her phone again after she went out.

Huo Chen, who saw the light of day again, stopped her before she spoke: "It's only twenty minutes, you can get up quickly. Remember to tell me a happy New Year to my aunt. For the sake of your visit to your relatives today, I won't monitor you."

"How long has the New Year passed and I still say Happy New Year." Yu Li muttered.

Huo Chen chuckled lightly, and was about to speak when he heard her say slowly: "Don't think I'll let you go so soon. When I come back tonight, I will still interrogate you."

"...Let's go quickly." Huo Chen didn't want to say goodbye to her more than now.

Yu Li snorted and hung up the video for no reason. After cleaning up, she went out with her parents. Although she had been chatting with Huo Chen for so long, she still couldn't get the reason for his sudden change, but she forgot Huo Zhenyu's meat eggplant. Yu Li, who had no psychological burden, happily went to visit relatives with her parents, and then saw the meat eggplant in the middle on the dining table of her aunt's house.

Yu Li: "..." Is it a coincidence, or is God deliberately playing with her?

"Your family is so hard, the food is almost cold, so sit down and have a meal." My uncle welcomed warmly.

Yu Li followed her parents to call people well, and then sat down after calling out all the elders on the table. In such occasions, parents usually talked about it very much, while a junior like her only needs to occasionally echo a few words and concentrate on eating at other times.

...This led to a lot of time when she could stare at the meaty eggplant in the middle of the table.

No matter what topic it was or how enthusiastic the atmosphere on the dining table was, she couldn't help but keep looking at the eggplant until she got a big lump in her bowl before she came to her senses.

"Eat as much as you want, why are you staring at me?" After picking up the dishes for her, my aunt did not forget to look at her with a angrily look.

Yu Li: “…”

Facing the loving gaze of his elders, Yu Li was speechless for a moment and had to lower her head and eat eggplant silently. I have to say that a dish has not appeared on her own table for a long time, and no one has taken the initiative to eat it. There is a reason. For example, now, after she tasted the first bite of eggplant, she deeply realized that this thing was really not to her taste.

...Huo Zhenyu harmed her.

Because it was a reunion with relatives, dinner time was quite long. When Yu Li finished her meal, her parents were still drinking and chatting with her aunt and the others, while her younger brothers and sisters had already gone back to their room to sleep because high school started, so she sat on the sofa and played with her mobile phone.

After the video, Huo Chen became quiet and had not sent her a message until now, which made Yu Li even more curious about what he was hiding from him. Just as she was thinking about whether to send a message to ask, Huo Zhenyu suddenly sent a message -

“So hungry.”

Yu Li: “…”

She looked at the news speechlessly, remembering Huo Chen's advice to her, and suddenly wondered how he would continue to act. In order to see his reaction, she replied with a cold look: Hungry.

When Huo Zhenyu received the message, he was shocked. It took him a long time to ask: Did you lose your phone? Are you the person now?

Seeing his news, Yu Li couldn't help laughing, and then coughed and replied seriously: It's me, I'm making you hungry.

After sending this message, his phone became quiet. Yu Li couldn't help but worry if his tone was too bad, which made him sad. While he was struggling, his phone called. In front of the elders in the room, Yu Li had the courage to answer, so she quickly hung up.

Unexpectedly, her hanging up made Huo Zhenyu even worse. His phone calls came one by one. Every time Yu Li pressed to refuse, he immediately called again. Yu Li was frightened by his reaction and quickly ran to the bathroom with his cell phone and lowered his voice when he called again: "Is there anything wrong?"

There were noisy sounds on the streets on the phone and Huo Zhenyu's breathing. When he heard Yu Li talking, his breathing was obviously stagnant, and then he asked a little silly: "...Are you who was just now?"

"Who else can I be if it's not me?" Yu Li was helpless.

Huo Zhenyu let out a long sigh, then endured his annoyance and asked: "Is it fun to play with me on purpose? Do you know that I am very worried about you! I thought... I thought you were kidnapped!"

Yu Li was stunned: "Why, why?" Didn't he say he was hungry?

"Why do you think? How could my little fish be willing to let me starve?!" Huo Zhenyu blurted out, and then the whole world became quiet.

The bathroom was full of heating, and Yu Li's cheeks were so hot that she turned red... Of course, it might not be hot.

I don’t know how long it took, Huo Zhenyu’s awkward voice came again: “…I just said casually, don’t take it to heart.”
