Wen Li glanced at Huo Yuanchen and said lightly, "He's just a kid. Can I really do something to a little brother?"
Huo Yuanchen said, "I don't know if you are interested in him, but I think he is quite interested in you. Besides, didn't you enjoy it when he called you sister?"
Wen Li tilted his head and looked at him for a long time with a smile.
Huo Yuanchen asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
Wen Li opened the car door and said, "I was just wondering, don't you also enjoy it when An Wen calls you brother?"
Huo Yuanchen raised his eyebrows, but ultimately did not discuss this topic with her anymore.
The two of them returned the equipment to Wen Li's studio. On the way back, they went to the supermarket and bought a lot of things for the trip. When passing by the snack area, Huo Yuanchen asked Wen Li, "What kind of food do you like?"
Wen Li's eyes lit up, "Any one will do?"
He had emphasized before that she was not allowed to buy snacks at his house. He himself did not like snacks, and he did not allow her to eat them either. He was very overbearing.
Huo Yuanchen reached out and took seven or eight bags of snacks from the shelf and said, "These are the only ones that will do."
He chose relatively healthy snacks such as nuts and dried fruits, which Wen Li didn't like. She stared at the potato chips on the shelf again and again, and looked at Huo Yuanchen pitifully.
He said, "Don't even think about it," and walked away with his shopping cart.
While he was shopping for other things, Wen Li stuffed three or four bags of potato chips and several bags of jerky into the bottom of the shopping cart.
When paying, Huo Yuanchen picked out the bags of potato chips that she had secretly stuffed in and said to the cashier, "We don't want these."
Wen Li's heart tightened, but before she could say anything, she saw him bring back two more bags of potato chips and said, "That's all I need."
Wen Li hurriedly said, "Change the flavor. I want tomato and cucumber flavor."
Huo Yuanchen glanced at her indifferently, but still agreed to her wishes.
When the two returned, Michelle Yim had already prepared her luggage. There were two huge suitcases in the living room, and the aroma of braised meat wafted from the kitchen.
Wen Li smiled and said, "Aunt Qi, you are amazing. You have done so much work by yourself."
Michelle Yim smiled sheepishly, "I haven't been out for a long time, I almost forgot what traveling is like. I was afraid that if I forgot to bring something, it would be inconvenient to go out, so I brought everything I could think of."
Huo Yuanchen said speechlessly, "You can buy..."
Wen Li interrupted him and asked excitedly, "What delicious food did Aunt Qi make?"
"These are cooked foods eaten on the road. I'm afraid the ones sold outside are not clean."
Wen Li gave her a thumbs up and said, "I'm so happy to be able to hang out with you."
Because we had to get up early the next day, after talking for a while, we went to bed early.
Before going to bed, Huo Yuanchen hugged Wen Li and said, "My mother hasn't traveled for a long time. I can see that she is very happy. Thank you."
Wen Li nuzzled into his arms and said, "I like Aunt Qi. I'm happy to make her happy."
The destination chosen by Wen Li was in a neighboring province, and it would take four or five hours to drive there. Fortunately, Michelle Yim and she could talk to each other, and the two chatted along the way, sometimes chatting, sometimes looking at the scenery, and sometimes sharing food, so they didn't feel bored.
When they arrived at the destination, Huo Yuanchen looked at Wen Li and said quietly, "I think it's fine for you to come out with my mom. It doesn't matter whether I come with you or not."
Wen Li chuckled a few times, and when Michelle Yim went to get her luggage and couldn't see them, she stood on tiptoe and kissed Huo Yuanchen on the lips.
"Who said that?" She squeezed his palm and said, "Aunt Qi and I are counting on you to drive for us."
The homestay that Wen Li booked is the best in the ancient city. It has ancient decoration and a big tree in the yard. The shade of the tree covers the entire yard. There are several swings next to it for the guests to play on.
Huo Yuanchen asked Wen Li, "Do you want to play? If you want to play, I'll push you."
Wen Li shook his head , "These are for kids to play with. I'm not that old anymore."
Michelle Yim encouraged her from the side, "How big can you be? If you go out to play, let Yuanchen push you, and let him be responsible if you fall."
On weekdays, there weren't many guests staying in the B&B. Wen Li thought that no one would see him anyway, so he went to sit on the swing.
Huo Yuanchen really came over to push her. He pushed her very high, again and again, as if he wanted to push her to the sky.
At first, Wen Li was too reserved to show her happiness, but later, she swung higher and higher, and it was so exciting that she couldn't help but burst into laughter, shouting, "Huo Yuanchen, higher, higher."
Huo Yuanchen looked at her with a smile. The weather was very good, and her rose pink dress fluttered freely under the sunshine and white clouds.
The well-arranged Chinese courtyards, the towering green shade, the bougainvillea that blooms like a waterfall on the upper floor, and the bright girls with their bold and pure laughter.
Everything is so vivid and bright.
He was afraid that Wen Li would get hurt if she swung too high, so he stopped trying and played with her for more than ten minutes before reaching out to stop the swing.
Wen Li hadn't played enough and refused to come down, "I want to play more."
He reached out and took her down from the swing. "We're going to stay here for three days. You can play every day, but be careful."
Wen Li was afraid of being seen by Michelle Yim, so she struggled to get out of his arms and said, "Professor Huo, you talk like my dad, too old-fashioned."
"That's not bad."
After lunch, the two accompanied Maggie Cheung to the ancient town. When passing by a jewelry store, Huo Yuanchen saw a bow hairpin. The platinum clip was inlaid with diamonds. It was expensive, costing five figures. It was placed in a beautiful box and locked in a glass cabinet.
He asked the clerk to take it out and played with it in his hands.
The first time Wen Li saw the hairpin, he thought of An Wen.
She looked at Huo Yuanchen with mixed feelings and planned to wait for him outside the store.
As soon as she moved, Huo Yuanchen stopped her, handed her the bow hairpin, and asked her, "What do you think?"
Wen Li didn't think it was very good.
But she came out to have fun, and didn't want to quarrel with Huo Yuanchen over such a small matter and ruin her mood, so she casually said, "It's okay."
"come over."
He waved at her. Seeing that she was standing there motionless, he simply went over, held her little head, and pinned the hairpin in her hair.
After finishing, he took two steps back to take a closer look and said, "It's indeed OK."
He waved the clerk over and said, "I bought it."
Wen Li was unsure whether the hairpin was bought for her or just asked her to help try it on, so she asked Huo Yuanchen, "Do you want to take it off? Be careful, don't pull my hair out, it hurts."
Huo Yuanchen walked out of the store and said, "If you don't like it, take it down yourself."
"This is for me?"
Huo Yuanchen turned around, stretched out his hand to her, and said, "Do you think I should wear it?"
Wen Li was so happy that he even jumped and skipped as he walked.
Michelle Yim also noticed the bow in her hair and smiled, "Yuanchen has good taste. This hairpin looks good."
Wen Li touched her hairpin and said sheepishly, "At my age, would it be too youthful to wear a bow?"
Maggie Cheung shook her head and said, "No, the bow suits you very well. I remember you used to like bows very much, but now I rarely see you wearing them."
Wen Li was stunned for a moment, then looked at Huo Yuanchen with a deep gaze.
