In convenient communication with the branches of Ling County and the Provincial City in H Province, Xia Chuyi had installed a telephone in "Youwei" in the Capital City.
Since "Youwei" got a phone, people generally contacted Xia Chuyi on weekends by calling "Youwei."
Therefore, when Huo Shiqian suddenly made a phone call, and it was to the school, there must have been some emergency, right?
As Xia Chuyi expected, she only heard Huo Shiqian on the phone start with, "Chuyi, have you acknowledged Ou Jun as your brother?"
"Ah?" Xia Chuyi was a bit stunned, then somewhat surprised she said, "Brother Shiqian, you already know?"
"Uh-huh." Huo Shiqian spoke in a calm tone on the phone.
Xia Chuyi couldn't quite grasp his meaning, blinked her eyes, and asked Uncle Liberation Army on the phone's end, "What's wrong, Brother Shi Qian, do you think this is not good?"
Otherwise, why would he specifically call her about this?
Xia Chuyi's eyebrows couldn't help but slightly frown, her tone somewhat serious.
Could it be that having Ou Jun as a brother involved some issue of interest within Huo Shiqian's circle?
If, if there really was an issue of interest involved... ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ noⅴelfire.net
Like, acknowledging Ou Jun as her older brother might harm Uncle Liberation Army in some way...
Xia Chuyi's face tightened, her expression very serious.
Fortunately, Huo Shiqian quickly responded on the phone, "It's not that it's bad."
Hearing this, she couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief.
That's good, that's good.
"It's just..." Suddenly, Huo Shiqian paused on the phone.
Xia Chuyi's heart tightened again, quickly asking, "Just what?"
She heard Huo Shiqian sigh slightly that day and say, "Chuyi, the circle in Capital City is very complex, with a tangled web of interests behind it."
"I'm somewhat unclear about Ou Jun's motives."
Hearing this, Xia Chuyi had a sudden realization—Huo Shiqian had called because he was unsure of Ou Jun's intentions, worried about her, and thus he specifically called to remind her.
Xia Chuyi thought carefully and addressed her Uncle Liberation Army, "Brother Shiqian, actually, I think, Brother Ou probably isn't that kind of person, right?"
Though she phrased it as a question, in her heart, she was inclined to accept this as fact.
Hearing Xia Chuyi's words, Huo Shiqian on the phone fell silent for a moment.
"Chuyi, today, it was Ou Jun who called me first to inform me about this," Huo Shiqian said.
"Ah?" Xia Chuyi was suddenly startled and hastily said, "Brother Ou called you himself?"
He had just acknowledged the kinship that afternoon, and Ou Jun had informed Huo Shiqian that night?
Was this reporting, or was there another intention?
"Uh-huh." On the phone, Huo Shiqian narrated calmly, "He suddenly called me, addressing me as brother-in-law."
Xia Chuyi's eyes widened: … brother-in-law?
She really couldn't understand Ou Jun's maneuver!
However, on the phone, Huo Shiqian remained relatively calm, continuing, "Chuyi, I don't understand Ou Jun's purpose."
His words were very clear.
Indeed, Ou Jun's behavior was quite abnormal.
In Ou Family's study in Capital City,
It was merely Ou Jun, purely pleased with having a new "sister," who couldn't help but boast a little over the phone, and strangely sneezed.
