After talking to Song Xing Xing for about half an hour, Xia Yu put down her phone on her lap and heaved a long breath.
The thought of meeting her mother and brother again was giving her a headache. Xia Yu knew for sure that her mother would make things difficult for her when they meet later.
She could already guess what his mother was going to say to her.
It has been more than a month...
Xia Yu was not looking forward to meeting her family members again but this time, she still had to return to A City for the sake of the trial.
"Xia Yu, someone is here to see you."
Hearing Lin You's voice, Xia Yu quickly gets off the bed. Because of her legs, she could only move slowly to get up. She used the crutch and walked out of the room. However, when she saw the person in front of her, Xia Yu wished that she shouldn't come out.
She should have known that the person who would come to look for her in this house would be Huo Yun Chen.
"Xia Yu." Huo Yun Chen smiled brightly when he saw her. His expression changed when he saw the crutch in her hand. He stepped forward, wanting to help her but stopped himself when he saw the expression on her face.
Xia Yu did not look too happy to see him and Huo Yun Chen could understand her reason.
When Xia Yu had agreed to return to Capital City with him, Huo Yun Chen was happy. However, Xia Yu continued to be herself. Each time that they met, Huo Yun Chen could have sworn that the way Xia Yu was looking at him was as if she wanted him to leave.
It made him a little confused.
Didn't she say that she's a long-time fan of his?
At one time, Huo Yun Chen could feel that Xia Yu likes him. Probably as a fan or something more. At another time, he had this feeling as if he was a big nuisance.
If it was in the past, Huo Yun Chen would surely try not to get involved with Xia Yu. However, each time that he wanted to stay away, Huo Yun Chen would be reminded of the kiss.
If she did not like him, Xia Yu would not have kissed him, right?
He spent a long time, thinking of what this girl wanted to do. Huo Yun Chen came up with the conclusion that Xia Yu had a lot of pride in her and it was not easy for her to accept his and Little Star's help. The truth was that Xia Yu was just embarrassed to let him see her during her worst time.
Huo Yun Chen waited until Xia Yu was seated on the sofa before he came closer.
"Are you feeling better?" Huo Yun Chen did not wait for Xia Yu's answer. He placed a few bags that he had brought with him and spoke, "We just came back from the meeting with 'Legend of the Sky' team. They gave us a few pieces of merchandise to bring home. Here. This one is for you."
Xia Yu hesitated before she took the bag from Huo Yun Chen. The light in her eyes flashed when she saw Shadow's character figure. She picked it up and examined it closely. She was quick to notice that the figure in her hand was a little different.
"Next month, the game will come up with a new patch with some characters' new outfits and weapons," Huo Yun Chen said. "The one in your hand is the new look for the mage character. What do you think?"
Xia Yu looked at the figurine in her hand. Her finger caressed the figurine's cheek and a faint smile curled on her lips. "It's cute." Xia Yu thought that the mage's staff looked very cool.
Seeing the girl's smile made him feel at ease. Just as he had thought. Xia Yu would lower her guard whenever they talked about this game.
Huo Yun Chen watched as Xia Yu took out the other merchandise from the bag and turned to her assistant who was busying herself in the kitchen.
The apartment where Lin You was living was small. They could see the kitchen from the living room.
"Lin You, did you find it?"
"Ah, yes!" Lin You shouted from the kitchen. "Hold on. I'll bring it out right away."
Xia Yu looked up with a puzzled look on her face.
Huo Yun Chen let out a cough as their gazes met. "Just now, the company informed me that I got a new endorsement. We're going to celebrate and have a hot pot together."
"Congratulations."
The smile on his lips widened. "Xia Yu, join us. I already bought enough ingredients for the three of us. We will also prepare a non-spicy soup base for you."
Xia Yu contemplated. Seeing the man's hopeful gaze, Xia Yu decided to agree. "Alright."
These days, Huo Yun Chen would come to Lin You's apartment whenever he was not busy looking for her. Xia Yu knew well that the man was concerned about her well-being.
Since he wanted to celebrate something good, she should stay around and accompany them. Moreover, Lin You was around and she would not feel awkward.
Xia Yu lowered her gaze as Huo Yun Chen stood up and headed into the kitchen to find Lin You. The two of them chatted in a low voice and Xia Yu could only hear them talking about the soup base.
Actually, Xia Yu could not understand why was Huo Yun Chen being nice to her.
She was just someone who had nothing.
Both Huo Yun Chen and Lin You came out from the kitchen, carrying their equipment and ingredients to the dining area. They were still arguing something about the dipping sauce.
A smile curled on her lips.
Xia Yu found that she actually enjoyed this lively atmosphere. It could make her forget her unhappiness.
After arranging everything on the dining table, the smell of the spicy broth filled the house.
"Xia Yu, everything is prepared. Come over and eat with us." Lin You waved her hand at her.
Seeing that Xia Yu was struggling to get out of the sofa, Huo Yun Chen stepped up to help her. This time, he did not hold back.
Their body stuck closely, making her stunned. Xia Yu wanted to move away but she still remember her injured leg. She could only let Huo Yun Chen help her until they reach the dining table.
Her heartbeat accelerated. Xia Yu lowered her head to hide the look on her face.
Lin You brought over the food and started to put the ingredients in the pot. Both Huo Yun Chen and Lin You continued to chat about work while Xia Yu was listening at the side.
As they were having their meal, Lin You's phone started to ring. She excused herself and went back to the living room to pick up her phone. When she came back, Lin You had an anxious look on her face.
"Brother Huo, Xia Yu, I have to go now. Brother Xiang called and said he needed me to pick up a few outfits." Lin You ran around to pick up her bag. "Both of you should continue and eat. Don't wait for me."
Before any of them could react, Lin You had already left the house.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
After talking to Song Xing Xing for about half an hour, Xia Yu put down her phone on her lap and heaved a long breath.
