Huo Jinxi looked at Mu Qian like this and was stunned for a moment.
In the flash of lightning, he seemed to notice something.
But this feeling was so illusory and unrealistic that he failed to grasp it.
Mu Qian hugged Huo Qiran and cried for a long time. Huo Qiran gradually stopped crying, but Mu Qian still couldn't control herself.
The aunt tried to persuade Mu Qian, but when she saw Huo Jinxi shook his head, he retreated into the house.
It wasn't until Huo Qiran gradually recovered and reached out to touch Mu Qian's face that Mu Qian gradually stopped crying. When she looked at Huo Qiran, she still shed tears uncontrollably.
Huo Qiran was still twitching, with a red nose and red eyes. Mu Qian took his hand distressedly, put it to her lips and kissed it, then held his face and kissed him again and again.
relative.
Seeing this situation, Huo Jinxi's previously ungraspable feeling suddenly became clearer and clearer.
He suddenly turned his head and looked at Wu Hao, who was standing sideways not far away.
Wu Hao seemed to be aware of his gaze and quickly looked over. After meeting Huo Jinxi's gaze, Wu Hao shook his head in embarrassment, indicating that he did not know the specific situation.
Huo Jinxi didn't expect his answer.
He just looked back at Mu Qian, who was holding Huo Qiran tightly, and he basically already had the answer in his heart.
When Huo Qiran took Mu Qian's hand and walked into the house, Mr. Huo had already been sitting on the sofa waiting for a long time. His aunt was also standing beside him, looking at Mu Qian with concern.
But all of Mu Qian's attention was on Huo Qiran.
She pulled Huo Qiran into her arms, and regardless of the fact that she was still crying, she just kept asking him: "Does your hand still hurt? It really doesn't hurt? What about your knee? Does it hurt?"
After Huo Qiran shook his head in reply, Mu Qian took him into her arms again and kissed his head and hands almost out of control. Then she suddenly noticed something and asked Huo Qiran nervously: "Why do you have so many problems?"
Sweating? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"I just cried for so long, can you stop sweating?" Auntie said quickly, "It's nothing. I'll take him upstairs to take a bath to avoid catching a cold."
"No." Mu Qian said in a low voice, "I'll take him to wash."
After saying that, Mu Qian touched Huo Qiran's face again and said softly: "Mom, give you a bath."
Huo Qiran nodded and followed Mu Qian upstairs obediently.
All the while, the other three people in the room were ignored.
It was only at this moment that Mr. Huo faintly noticed something.
Before that, although Huo Qiran had begun to call Mu Qian the silent name "Mom", and other people in the family also used the word "Mom" when referring to Mu Qian, Mu Qian had never called herself in front of Huo Qiran.
Even if Huo Qiran calls her "Mom", she happily agrees, but it is indeed the first time that she calls herself "Mom" like this today.
Mr. Huo couldn't help but look at Huo Jinxi: "What happened?"
Huo Jinxi had an answer in his heart, but this answer needed to be confirmed.
He glanced at Mr. Huo, turned around and went upstairs without answering.
Mu Qian led Huo Qiran, walked into his room, and said to him: "Mom will bring you a change of clothes."
Huo Qiran was flattered and stood aside obediently.
In the past, Mu Qian would have directly ordered him to get his clothes, put the water in, and then give himself a bath...
But now——
Huo Qiran was standing at the end of the bed thinking about the key to the problem. When he turned his head, he saw Huo Jinxi standing at the door.
Huo Jinxi hooked his finger at him, and Huo Qiran immediately walked out obediently.
"Qi Ran!" Mu Qian saw Huo Qiran walking out and immediately tried to hold him back. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned to the door of the room, Huo Jinxi walked in and gently closed the door.
Mu Qian was a little anxious, "Where did you call Qi Ran? I still have to give him a bath! He will catch a cold!"
As she spoke, she pulled away from Huo Jinxi to look for Huo Qiran, as if she was afraid that Huo Qiran would disappear.
Her current state is indeed very different from before.
Huo Jinxi stood still and said solemnly: "Qi Ran is at the door. Please tell me first, what did Ye Xi do?"
She went to see Ye Xi today, and after meeting Ye Xi, her whole person became like this.
Everything Huo Jinxi could guess would have nothing to do with Ye Xi.
Upon hearing Ye Xi's name, Mu Qian's expression changed slightly, and the next moment, her eyes darkened.
She turned her face away from Huo Jinxi's eyes. After a while, she said in a low voice: "What do you think she did?"
Huo Jinxi's eyes moved slightly and he spoke in a low voice: "Qi Ran?"
Mu Qian didn't answer, but as soon as she heard the name, her tears fell uncontrollably again.
Seven years later, Huo Qiran is already seven years old.
During these seven years, he was lonely and silent, desperately looking forward to his mother;
And after she wasted three years of busy life, she fell into endless pain and wasted the rest of her life in a state of confusion.
He was supposed to be by her side.
Even though she couldn't be a good mother in the first few years, he was always by her side.
He would laugh with her, cry with her, and learn to speak eloquently. He could call her "Mom" again and again...
Everything should not be what it is today.
And all of this was actually caused by her closest and most trusted person.
All that person's thoughtful companionship and care for so many years, at this moment, all turned into pain that cannot be looked back on.
Mu Qian felt that she had become a joke.
In the past few years, she often boasted that she was smart, witty, and observant of people, but in the end, she couldn't even recognize the people in front of her, so she missed the seven years with Huo Qiran.
And she actually begged her to forgive——
Just like that, she still had the nerve to beg her to forgive her——
Mu Qian raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, then turned to look at Huo Jinxi, "I can't cry anymore. If I cry anymore, I will scare Qi Ran..."
The answer in Huo Jinxi's heart was confirmed the moment her tears fell.
In recent years, his heart has been as deep as an ancient well, calm and waveless.
Only when I knew the existence of Xiaoxiao, there were shocks and waves.
For Xiaoxiao, and for her.
At this moment, he clearly received an extremely important message, but he was unaware of the turmoil in his heart.
Just like seven years ago.
Seven years ago, when he first learned of Huo Qiran's identity, he had doubts.
He checked many people, and there were even many whom he had only met once.
In the end, I inevitably thought of her.
Before this, he had not thought of her for a long time.
The moment those clear, waveless, shy and smiling eyes suddenly hit his mind, he was the same, without any fluctuation in his heart.
But somewhere, there was a quiet emptiness.
It is so hollow and suffocating that it cannot cause throbbing.
