Chapter 1341: Mr. Huo, Are You in a Bad Mood?
Smoke curled around Huo Jinyan’s fingertips as he listened to the young girl coquettishly talk to her family, suddenly feeling an unexpected firelight atmosphere infusing his presence here.
He hadn’t been home for quite a while now.
Although no one in his family objected when he initially entered this field, he still strived to prove himself to them, climbing upwards with determination.
Proving that he hadn’t chosen the wrong path.
Their support wasn’t misplaced.
This proof stretched over more than a decade. He seemed to often be distant from his family, rarely coming together.
Qin Shen Shen hung up the phone and walked back, suddenly noticing the person standing by the safety door, her steps halted.
"Mr. Huo?"
Huo Jinyan snapped out of his reverie, nodded at her: "Yes."
He casually extinguished the cigarette between his fingers.
This was Qin Shen Shen’s first time seeing Huo Jinyan smoke. She didn’t know what to say and quietly stared at her toes.
Inside though: Even the God smokes, and it’s still so cool!
She felt like she could write this scene into a novel, a bit melancholic somehow.
Melancholic God?
Better not.
The God is better off being as he always was.
"Why did you stop talking?" Huo Jinyan raised his eyebrows teasingly: "Weren’t you just talking about eating two pounds of ribs?"
Qin Shen Shen froze, her face instantly reddening, "Mr. Huo, how did you... eavesdrop on my call!"
This would make her shy.
Huo Jinyan didn’t say anything, just walked over to the stairs and sat down, gesturing to Qin Shen Shen to come sit beside him.
Qin Shen Shen hesitated for a moment, eventually sitting next to Huo Jinyan. Having faced her idol for so many days, she still had a bit of immunity to being alone with him.
Slowly developing antibodies, perhaps!
Huo Jinyan didn’t speak, just sat there for a long time. Qin Shen Shen glanced sideways, the man remained motionless, his hair slightly covering his eyes.
His handsome features were unusually expressionless, just staring at his clasped hands.
For the first time, Qin Shen Shen took the initiative to break the silence between them, "Mr. Huo, are you okay? Feeling down?"
The man grunted softly, without replying.
Qin Shen Shen found herself at a loss, with Huo Jinyan like this, she didn’t know what to say.
Hearing Qin Shen Shen’s phone call made Huo Jinyan realize that perhaps he wasn’t treating his family well enough.
"I think I should go home more often too." Grandpa is getting older, who knows...
He should really visit more, play chess with him now and then.
"You’re very busy every year, right?" Filming movies, rushing schedules, endorsing brands every year, so busy there’s no time for family?
Qin Shen Shen scratched her little face, not very good at consoling people!
"It’s alright." Huo Jinyan raised his head, smiling slightly, "I will manage to use my time reasonably."
"Gurgle..." Qin Shen Shen clutched her stomach, awkwardly glancing at Huo Jinyan.
Huo Jinyan looked at the young girl in front of him, unable to suppress his amusement.
Qin Shen Shen really had the urge to hit a wall, her stomach growling in front of her idol was simply too opportune.
"I didn’t eat enough today." Qin Shen Shen pursed her lips, embarrassedly admitting.
Then, without thinking, she blurted out.
"Mr. Huo, let’s go out to eat!"
As soon as she said it, she regretted it.
"Ah, no, no, no..."
"Alright." Huo Jinyan agreed readily, his eyes still filled with the lingering smile.
Qin Shen Shen seemed to remember something, quickly speaking up: "But if we go out together, will it cause you any trouble?"
