Chapter 132: Siblings
Si Huan had long known that his granduncles and uncles were secretly up to no good. He just hadn’t taken it to heart.
After all, with the capabilities of these fools, they would only be able to pull off some cheap tricks.
However, from the looks of things today, Si Huan knew that these people had been planning this for a while. They probably felt that they had enough bargaining chips to negotiate with him.
Si Huan’s lips curled up into a faint smile that looked as nice as usual, but it only made people feel cold.
“That’s fine too. I’ve been busy with school and haven’t had a chance to chat with my granduncles and uncles in a long time. Why don’t everyone wait for me in the lounge upstairs? I’ll look for you guys after I’ve helped this young lady to settle down.
Si Li nodded and said, “In that case, we’ll wait for you in the lounge on the second floor.”
Si Huan left with Huo Tian. Huo Tian asked him worriedly, “I feel like those people are up to no good. Are you going to be alright?”
Si Huan smiled again, this time with warmth. “Are you worried about me?”
Huo Tian shifted her eyes away uneasily. She felt that her cheeks were a little red. It must have been because of the exercise she had done when dancing earlier that was why her cheeks were still burning till now…
“I’m not worried about you…” Huo Tian snorted, her tone unconsciously sounding a little spoiled. “Those people can’t be compared to you even if they’re combined together. I don’t believe that you’ll lose out! ”
“Then I’ll have to work hard to live up to your trust.”
Si Huan also realized that Huo Tian was feeling uncomfortable when the two of them looked at each other. He didn’t think about whether Huo Tian knew about his feelings, but he accepted Huo Tian’s awkward emotions well and secretly enjoyed her special attitude towards him.
Si Huan led Huo Tian to an empty small lounge and instructed the attendant to bring over various exquisite desserts and drinks.
He then instructed her, “I’ll go see what those people are up to. You can stay here. If you need anything, go and look for an attendant.”
Huo Tian couldn’t take her eyes off the desserts on the table. She nodded perfunctorily and waved her hand. “Alright, you can go.”
Si Huan had just thought that her attitude towards him was different, but now it seemed that it was just an illusion. His status in Huo Tian’s eyes was probably not as high as these little cakes, right?
Si Huan realized that he was actually jealous of those desserts and couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh. He instructed the attendant who had brought the food over, “Stay here and serve Miss Huo Tian. Don’t leave as you wish.”
The attendant hurriedly nodded and agreed.
Only then did Si Huan leave. He had been very considerate, but he had forgotten to instruct the attendant not to let anyone else enter this room. Hence, Huo Feng came not long after Si Huan left,
Huo Feng was clearly here to look for Huo Tian. He saw her eating desserts one by one with her cheeks puffed up.
Huo Tian still had food in her mouth. When she saw Huo Feng, she greeted him with her eyes and pointed to the sofa beside her, gesturing for him to take a seat on the sofa next to her.
After swallowing the food in her mouth, Huo Tian asked Huo Feng, “Brother, there are many desserts here. Do you want to eat some?”
Huo Feng shook his head stiffly, his upper body leaning back as he looked at the table full of desserts. “Sister, you like desserts more than you did in the past.”
With Huo Feng around, Huo Tian had slowed down her eating speed. She savored the desserts and occasionally took a sip of sweet milk tea, smiling as she said, “Because sweet food can bring bliss.”
“Sister had said this in the past too.” Huo Feng smiled and said reminiscently, “I remember that in the past, our family didn’t allow us to eat these things, so you would save up your pocket money and then buy desserts from the bakery outside to bring home to share with me…”
Memories related to this also flashed through Huo Tian’s mind. She smiled until her eyes were squinted. “I was insensible back then. I thought that you’d also be in a better mood after eating sweet things, so I brought you the things I liked. I even caused you to get a toothache for many days. Now that I think of it, the things I did back then were actually similar to those family tutors who disciplined you. I had just forced my wishes onto you.”
“No, it’s not the same.” Huo Feng stood up directly and sat beside Huo Tian. He held Huo Tian’s hand and looked into her eyes sincerely. “Sister, ever since I could remember, almost all the beautiful memories I had were given to me by you. Although I don’t like to eat sweet things, I know about your kind intentions, so I was very happy every day.”
“That’s good.” Huo Tian put down the small plate of desserts and gently stroked Huo Feng’s neatly managed hair. She said emotionally, “The younger brother who always followed behind me in the past has grown taller than me. Time really flies.”
Huo Feng suddenly felt his nose stinging. He gently hugged Huo Tian and buried his face in her shoulder, slowly calming his breathing. Only then did he manage to suppress the tears in his eyes.
