ATBLM [QT] Chapter 88.1

The evening breeze blew gently and the fragrance of gardenia filled the nose.

There was silence behind the flowers for a while and Jiang Rui said softly: “Sixth Brother, why do you suddenly ask this?”

These words were like a basin of cold water, violently splashing on Huo Changyao and making him feel chilled all over, and then he came back to his senses.

He moved his legs with difficulty and left this place silently.

Although Old Sixth said that Xiao Qi liked her Second Brother, he could hear that the liking just now was different from the liking between brother and sister.

Like, like…

The person Xiao Qi liked was actually the Old Second.

Yesterday he was still thinking that the young people in Fengcheng were not worthy of their Xiao Qi. No matter who he entrusted her to, he could not feel at ease.

But if the object is the Old Second, will it be different?

The Old Second is young, handsome, and humorous. Several brothers have grown up together since childhood, so he does not have to worry about his character. Although sometimes he loves to tease Xiao Qi, more often, he can always make her happy and he also loves Xiao Qi a lot.

In this way, there is indeed no more suitable person than him.

Huo Changyao frowned. He felt that he should feel light for letting go of a matter of his heart, but his heart was like a weighing stone, heavy and cold.

On the other end, the reason why Xu Hansheng mentioned this is not without reason. Today, he went out with Huo Changlin’s friends. He overheard them mention the reason why Huo Changlin went abroad that year. Knowing that he had a heart for a girl and it seemed that he had never forgotten the girl, Xu Hansheng was afraid that Xiao Qi would be sad when she learned about it, so he wanted to come and probe her.

“It’s not a whim. I’ve been wanting to ask you recently, but I only found an opportunity today.” Xu Hansheng said.

Jiang Rui frowned slightly as if thinking about how to speak.

Of course, Pan Susu, the real Seventh Young Lady of the Huo family, likes Huo Changlin. Now that she is her, she does not intend to deny this. But if you like it, you can also dislike it. Time can always change everything.

So, she said: “I used to like my Second Brother. But this time when he came back and I saw him again, the feeling seemed to have faded a lot. I just wanted to treat him as my older brother now.”

Xu Hansheng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: “This is good.” After thinking about it, he told her the truth: “In fact, Sixth Brother heard from Second Brother’s friend today that the reason why he went abroad was because the Second Aunt opposed him being with a girl, and Second Brother still could not forget that girl.”

Jiang Rui suddenly said, “It’s no wonder that the Second Brother left in such a hurry.”

Xu Hansheng saw her expression, really let go, and then he nodded, “I heard that the Second Aunt forced the girl’s family to relocate. The Second Brother has been asking people to find their whereabouts all these years and wants to make some compensation.”

Jiang Rui frowned and shook her head slightly, “If I were the Second Brother, I wouldn’t go looking for that girl again before I convinced the Second Aunt. Otherwise, what should I do if the Second Aunt makes trouble with their family again?”

“This…” Xu Hansheng was stunned for a moment. It seemed that this was indeed the case, “Alas, the Second Aunt is always an elder, this kind of thing is hard to say. Let’s not talk about it.”

The two entered the house. Huo Changyao sat on the sofa with his face as usual. He saw them and said, “You’re back? Let’s have dinner.”

Jiang Rui just felt that he had gone to the garden for a walk a while ago. At this time, looking at his expression, she knew that he was mostly covering it up, so she also made an unaware appearance.

After dinner, Xu Hansheng left. Jiang Rui went back to the room to take a bath and honestly turned over the homework left behind and wrote it.

She usually does her homework in the study and Huo Changyao always reads the book, but today she does not appear.

As Jiang Rui moved her pen, she imagined what possible actions he might have and countermeasures it in her mind.

With Huo Changyao’s character, if he knew that her heart belonged to someone, he would probably choose to fulfill it.

All she has to do is make it impossible for him to do it.

Otherwise, once the two are divorced and separated, she is afraid that he will avoid her far away. What else to talk about completing the task?

After writing homework and returning to the room, she needs to pass through Huo Changyao’s room. In the past, he had changed into home clothes and read on the sofa, but today he was still wearing a straight military uniform and standing in front of the window with his hands in his hands, not knowing what he was thinking.

“Big Brother, aren’t you ready to rest yet?” Jiang Rui asked him.

Huo Changyao paused and turned around slowly, “Big Brother has something to tell you, sit down for a while.”

“Okay.” Jiang Rui sat on the sofa, watched him come over, and sat across from him.

Huo Changyao’s eyebrows twisted a fold and he did not speak for a long time.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Rui also became nervous and moved on the sofa: “Big Brother, did something happen?”

“No.” Huo Changyao said, but after speaking these two words, he pressed his lips again. He never knew that it would be so difficult to export just a few words.

Perhaps he had also expected something in his heart, not that it was difficult to say this, but that he did not want to say it in his own heart.

However, it has to be said.

He squeezed the corners of his mouth into a straight line and asked in Jiang Rui’s increasingly nervous expression: “Xiao Qi, what kind of person do you like?”
