Chapter 374: Call Me Uncle Huo From Now On
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Huo Jinyan’s heart ached with every rise of her laughter.
As she laughed, tears fell from her eyes.
She opened her mouth, and her voice was choked with sobs. She leaned against the car window helplessly.
“He probably doesn’t want to hear me call him grandpa anymore…”
Huo Jinyan sat over and placed his arm around her neck. His hand gently touched her cheek, pulling her towards him.
Lu Ning was pulled into his arms.
She turned her head slightly and buried her face in his bosom. The car went silent, and Huo Jinyan’s clothes gradually became wet.
After Lu Ning calmed down, she sat quietly in Huo Jinyan’s car for a while before getting out and leaving.
Before getting out of the car, Lu Ning turned to look at Huo Jinyan. “Thank
you, Teacher Huo.”
The car door opened and closed, bringing in a gust of cold wind. Huo Jinyan sobered up a little, and his eyes darkened as he watched Lu Ning cross the road.
“Find out what happened.”
“Understood.”
Lu Ning wrapped herself tightly in the blanket and crossed the road. After walking for a while, she saw Lu Jingzhi running towards her.
“Sister!”
Lu Qing followed behind him.
The two of them had just returned.
Her eyes were still a little red. She subconsciously wiped her eyes and looked at Lu Jingzhi.
“Sister, let’s go home.”
Lu Jingzhi walked over and held her hand.
Lu Ning did not say anything; she simply looked at him and smiled.
The three of them walked home together.
Shen Yunci and Lu Zhi were probably out to have some time to themselves, and had not returned yet.
“I’ve filled the tub for you. Go take a bath to warm up.”
Lu Ning answered him softly, her voice somewhat nasally.
When she headed to her bedroom, Lu Qing and Lu Jingzhi went into the kitchen.
Lu Ning had not eaten much tonight, so the two of them prepared more food for her.
After Lu Ning came out of the shower, Lu Jingzhi knocked on her door.
“Sister, can I come in?
“Sure, come in.”
Lu Ning was wearing pajamas and drying her hair.
Lu Jingzhi walked in and closed the door.
“Sister.”
He walked over and sat beside Lu Ning.
“I saw that fierce uncle’s car today. Did he send you back?”
Lu Ning nodded. “Yes, call him Uncle Huo from now on.”
After saying that, Lu Ning thought for a moment. Logically speaking, Huo
Jinyan was not much older than her, and in fact, it would be proper to call him
Brother. However, Huo Jinyan was her teacher after all, so it was better to have Lu Jingzhi call him Uncle.
Lu Jingzhi nodded obediently. “Was Uncle Huo fierce to you? Did he bully you?”
Lu Ning could not help but laugh. “No, Uncle Huo isn’t that fierce.”
Lu Jingzhi mumbled, “But he looks really fierce. Sister, aren’t you afraid of him?”
Lu Ning thought for a moment. “At first, I was a little afraid, but later on, I felt that he wasn’t that scary at all.”
“Really? Then, is Uncle Huo a bad person?”
Lu Ning turned to look at him. “Why do you say that?”
“Because it seems that many people don’t like him and want to find trouble with him. Aren’t bad people the only ones who are so disliked?”
Lu Ning was taken aback for a moment. She put down the towel in her hand and looked at Lu Jingzhi. “Well, Jingzhi, do you think Uncle Huo is a bad person?
Lu Jingzhi pondered it seriously. In the end, he shook his head, then nodded again. He looked at Lu Ning and said, “Sister, I don’t know anymore.”
Lu Ning raised her hand to rub his head, and inched closer. “Jingzhi, sometimes, people who look bad aren’t bad. People who look good might not be good either.
“There are many people in this world whom we’ll hear about from others, even before we even meet them.. Others might say that they’re bad, that they’re unpleasant and annoying…”
