Chapter 72 (Coax)(1/2)
After Yu Li left, only two big men were left looking at each other. After the air solidified for a moment, Huo Zhenyu spoke with a stern face: "Hey, go and open another room, don't squeeze with me."
"How can that be done? Xiaoyu asked me to take care of you." Huo Chen curled the corners of his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Huo Zhenyu looked disgusted: "I don't need you."
"Does it take you to say nothing?" Huo Chen looked at him coldly, "Since I've sprained you, I'll be responsible for it."
When Huo Zhenyu heard him mention this, his expression was a little unnatural: "It was me who was careless and you didn't have to be responsible."
"Why didn't you say it when Xiaoyu was there just now?" Huo Chen raised his eyebrows.
"Nonsense," Huo Zhenyu looked at him impatiently, "Aren't I trying to compete for favor?"
Huo Chen was amazed at his righteous look. He was quiet for a while before asking speechlessly: "Huo Zhenyu, why are you so shameless?"
"Ha, each other." Huo Zhenyu sneered.
The two of them were tired of each other, and after saying a few words, they did their own things. One lay on the bed and played games, and the other sat on the sofa and sent an email. The atmosphere was filled with a strange harmony.
After Huo Zhenyu and Fatty and the others played two games, they started chatting in the small group. Zhugan was blind and asked about his progress with Yu Li. Huo Zhenyu looked at the news that kept popping up on his phone with disgust. Finally, he glanced at Huo Chen next to him and barely replied: The resistance is too great, and the progress is slow at present.
Zhugan asked several questions in a row: You have such a good relationship with your sister-in-law, where does the resistance come from?
The fat man replied quickly: Needless to say, it must be that the boss has done something that violated other people's bottom line, the kind that cannot be coaxed.
Bamboo pole: Could it be...
Fatty: It’s impossible! The boss can’t cheat!
After the fat man posted this, the group was quiet for a moment, and Zhugan replied slowly: I want to say that it was my sister-in-law and her parents who disagreed, how did you think of cheating?
After asking, I was watching the fun and was not too serious. The fat man replied to a string of ellipsis and a terrified emoticon, as if he had said something he had missed.
Huo Zhenyu smiled angrily and quickly said: How long have you been holding your mind out?
The fat man hurriedly begged for mercy, while the bamboo pole was rushing down. The chat group hadn't been so lively for a long time. Just as Huo Zhenyu was having a happy chat, he suddenly received a text message from the 'father-in-law' on his phone. His back tightened and he subconsciously opened it -
"It's very noisy, disturbing my work."
Huo Zhenyu: "?"
He stared at the text message for a long time, then twisted his neck like a rusty machine and looked at Huo Chen on the sofa. Huo Chen looked at him calmly, invisibly affirming his guess.
"...So, is it you in Xiaoyu's 'Dad' on WeChat?" Huo Zhenyu's voice trembled.
"She was dating us at the same time. She should be afraid that you would be suspicious, so she would note this way," Huo Chen admired his collapsed expression, and his tone was full of praise for Yu Li, "How about it, is my little fish very smart?"
Huo Zhenyu took a deep breath: "You are the one who asked me to write a review?"
"I was also in the hospital that day. You took the car and left casually, but I was grabbed and scolded by Qian Ying, the crazy woman, and asked you to write a review, right?" Huo Chen raised his eyebrows.
Hard, Huo Zhenyu's fist became hard, but there was still a last glimmer of hope: "Then the messages I sent..."
"I saw it for me, of course I saw it," Huo Chen said with a hint of disgust. "The writing style is very poor and the words are not fulfilling. You should study hard..."
"I'll kill you!" Huo Zhenyu's last glimmer of hope was broken, his reason was completely shattered, and he was about to kill someone to silence him.
But I forgot my seriously injured right foot.
Halfway through, I felt a piercing pain in my right ankle, and then I felt sweaty and fell back to the bed. I didn't bother to take revenge, but just silently covered the injured area and curled myself into a big shrimp.
Huo Chen looked at him calmly, and when he was about to recover, he did not forget to remind him: "Remember to mute your phone and don't even have any vibrations, don't disturb my work."
Huo Zhenyu: "...are you still human?"
"I'll give you this sentence too. I haven't seen any professional knowledge, but I'm just having fun in frame-ups." Huo Chen sneered and continued to lower his head to work.
Huo Zhenyu rested in the bed with a weak and pitiful and helplessness. After a while, his feet didn't hurt so much. He took a few deep breaths, adjusted himself to a comfortable position, and then picked up his phone again, as if nothing had happened just now.
Well, as long as he doesn't react, nothing has happened. No matter what happened to him calling his uncle at the age of 26, or the revenge of dying before he succeeded in his career, it has never happened.
Huo Zhenyu silently washed himself, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Huo Chen staring at his phone with a frown, his aura was like the boss of the company. He was in a trance for a moment, and it was hard to imagine that he would have such a stern and serious side in the future, but such a self did appear in front of him, and he could not deny it even if he wanted to deny it.
"Look at the charge again." Huo Chen said without raising his head.
Huo Zhenyu was speechless for a moment: "Are you a monkey in the zoo? You will charge a fee if you take a look."
"If a monkey can squeeze out the little money you have left, I can try it." Huo Chen said calmly.
Huo Zhenyu blew, lowered his head and muted his phone. Well, Huo Chen didn't mess with him now, so he was too lazy to bother with him about such trivial matters.
After muting it, he clicked in the chat group again. The few in the group had already read hundreds of messages. Even Wangcai, who had not come out just now, was chatting with them. Although he didn't say much, each one showed his concern for him.
Huo Zhenyu pursed her lips and quietly looked through the chat records. When she saw that she seemed to drink a cup of hot milk tea in the cold weather, she felt slightly hot from her throat to her stomach, and she felt very soft.
Realizing that his emotions were too overflowing, Huo Zhenyu cleared his throat and forced his attention to it. The best tool to divert attention was Huo Chen opposite him.
"Drink milk tea?" he asked.
Huo Chen paused and looked up: "You go buy it?"
"Take-out." Huo Zhenyu shook his phone.
Huo pondered for a moment: "Pearl milk tea, double pearl double coconut fruit, add one Oreo crushed, and add two if there are taro balls."
"Why do you always drink the same as me?" Huo Zhenyu frowned.
Huo Chen glanced at him: "What do you think?"
...Looking at each other's appearance, what else can I say, Huo Zhenyu muttered in his heart, and ordered milk tea honestly. After waiting for the milk tea, he continued to watch the chat in the group, and suddenly looked up curiously: "Hey."
"What are you doing?" Huo Chen really annoyed him.
"I'll just talk to you, why are you so impatient?" Huo Zhenyu was unhappy.
Huo Chen took a deep breath: "Speak quickly if you have something to do."
"I won't say it anymore." Huo Zhenyu snorted coldly, covered her quilt and closed her eyes, looking like she was planning to sleep.
Huo Chen gritted his teeth and continued to work on his own business. After five minutes, the person pretending to be asleep in the bed suddenly asked: "Do you still contact the fat guys and the others now?"
"Yes." Huo Chen replied.
Huo Zhenyu was filled with spirit: "Is the relationship good?"
"Um."
"Then you..."
"I won't tell you." Huo Chen interrupted him directly.
Huo Zhenyu was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "Why are you so stingy?"
"This is my life experience, why do you want to tell you?" After solving the last bit of work, Huo Chen calmly put down his phone and looked at him, "If you want to know everything later, just experience it yourself."
"...I'll experience anything great sooner or later." Huo Zhenyu sneered.
Huo Chen snorted lightly and stood up to move his limbs.
Huo Zhenyu stared at him for a moment, and suddenly couldn't help asking: "Why did you change your name to Huo Chen?"
Huo Chen paused for a moment and didn't say anything.
"Mom... She told me before that when I was born, I wanted to name me Huo Chen, which means I hope that no matter what stage I go through, I can keep my breath and live a good life step by step. But my dad felt that he was not domineering enough, so he didn't let him call that name," Huo Zhenyu pretended not to care, but always paid attention to Huo Chen's reaction, "So why did I suddenly change my name?"
After he said that, he thought about it and continued without waiting for Huo Chen to answer: "Since you are from my age, you should know that I broke up with her, why did you change it to the name she originally chose? If it is because of hating Huode... Isn't that okay to change the surname? Why just change one name?"
Huo Chen looked at his curious eyebrows calmly, without saying a word. Huo Zhenyu looked at him for a moment and felt uneasy, but he was still pretending to be calm: "Why are you looking at me like this?"
"I think you talk a lot." Huo Chen answered sincerely.
Huo Zhenyu: "..."
In this game, Huo Chen won.
"The same thing. If you want to know, go and experience it yourself. Don't always ask me," Huo Chen glanced at him. "If I tell you everything now, your life in the next few years will be repeated. If you open your eyes today, you will know tomorrow's plot. Is it really interesting?"
Huo Zhenyu was silent for a moment and said sincerely: "If you have such a good memory, you wouldn't have stayed in this room to take care of me now." He still knew the plot of tomorrow when he opened his eyes today. He wanted to know that Huo Chen had to remember it all!
Huo Chen: "..."
In this game, Huo Zhenyu won.
The two of them looked at each other and realized what it means to have bothered each other, so the room suddenly became quiet.
I don’t know how long it took, but Huo Zhenyu suddenly asked: “What did you go to the hospital that day when I rowed the car?”
Huo Chen paused: "I want to know so much?"
"...I'm sorry, I just asked casually." Huo Zhenyu glanced at him and directly prevented him from taking the opportunity to mock him.
Huo Chen sneered and ignored him.
After a round of "in-depth exchanges", the two of them finally had nothing to say. The milk tea was delivered, so the two of them quietly drank the milk tea, and then Huo Chen continued to work, and Huo Zhenyu continued to play with his mobile phone, which was considered as peaceful. After playing two games, Huo Zhenyu felt bored, so he secretly sent a message to Yu Li with Huo Chen on his back.
I don’t know why, whenever he faces Huo Chen alone, he wants to show his righteousness, but every time he contacts Yu Li, he can’t help but say bad things about Huo Chen, such as now-
"Little Fish baby, Huo Chen has been playing with his phone since he came back and ignored me at all. My feet hurt so much."
After typing, he checked again, and after confirming that there was no problem, he clicked to send it, but there was no movement on the other side. Huo Zhenyu paused, and sent it again a while, but there was still no movement. He couldn't sit still and wanted to call Yu Li to ask about the situation, but after seeing Huo Chen's calm look, he held it back.
Until six or seven o'clock in the evening, Huo Zhenyu often used his light to observe Huo Chen. As soon as he noticed that he was holding his cell phone, he immediately asked: "Why are you looking for Xiaoyu?"
"...Do you think I am you? Apart from looking for Xiaoyu, I can't contact my work partner?" Huo Chen sneered after being repeatedly questioned several times.
To be continued...
