Rebirth Stories #1 (Book 1)

Chapter 84

When Huo Yichen returned, Nan Qiao and Mother Huo pretended that nothing had happened and were talking and laughing.

When Nan Qiao bade farewell, Mother Huo even asked Huo Yichen to send her off.

The two of them strolled along the sidewalk. A breeze blew over and scattered the fallen leaves on the ground. The fragrance of flowers wafted through the air.

"You."

"You..."

Nan Qiao lowered her head and looked at her feet as she walked. Just as she was about to hit a pedestrian, Huo Yichen grabbed her shoulder and pulled her away.

"Let me talk first. Why haven't you been to school recently?" Huo Yichen had only hugged Nan Qiao just now when he saw a layer of rouge on the girl's fair skin.

He quickly let go and pretended that nothing had happened.

"It's nothing. Something just happened. What did the doctor say about your mother?" Nan Qiao stopped in her tracks and tiptoed to ask.

Huo Yichen's dark pupils swept across everything on the street. He sat on the chair beside him and lowered his eyes to suppress his emotions. "He didn't say anything much. It's just, we'll delay it as long as we can."

Mother Huo thought that she had hidden it very well, but Huo Yichen had actually long noticed that something was wrong with her.

"I hope your mother can recover from her illness as soon as possible. If you need any help, you must tell me." Nan Qiao said it casually, but she did not even believe herself.

Mother Huo had been sick for many years and her body had long been weakened. How could she recover?

"Go home. It's windy outside."

Nan Qiao did not wear her hair in a ponytail today. Her black and smooth hair was tied up behind her head with a pink pearl hairband. She looked as beautiful as a little fairy.

Huo Yichen could not help but look at her a few more times.

"Alright, um... will you blame me?"

"Huh?" Huo Yichen snorted in confusion.

"It's just, you liked Nan Zhi at first, and then Nan Zhi was arrested. Then, you liked Shi Wenwen, and then Shi Wenwen left..."

Nan Qiao felt a little uneasy. Although she no longer needed to work with the big boss, she did not want to accumulate hatred with him!

Moreover, the big boss had saved her life, but she had chased away the big boss's love interests one after another. Wasn't this repaying kindness with ingratitude?

Huo Yichen raised his eyebrows. How did this misunderstanding form?

Why did she think that he liked those two people?

What right did she have to think that his heart would change so quickly?

What was in her mind?

Huo Yichen did not answer this question. He only poked Nan Qiao's forehead with his index finger. "Go home."

"Oh." Nan Qiao rubbed her forehead. It hurt a little from his poking.

The two of them walked in opposite directions. After taking a few steps, Nan Qiao suddenly thought of something and turned to call out to him.

"Huo Yichen, which university are you planning to go to?"

Huo Yichen turned around and saw the expectant expression on her face. He could not help but smile. "Hui University."
