Huo Qiao was walking his dog when he received the camellia photographed by Chu Yan.

It snowed again in L City last night, and at this time Lucy was having a good time sniffing here and there on the lawn, her nose was covered with fresh snow, and her long hair was also wet.

At this time, his send's special attention prompt sounded, and it was a message sent to him by Chu Yan.

[Yan: [Photo]]

[Yan: The camellia is blooming again]

[Yan: Does it look good? ]

Huo Qiao looked at the pink camellia that Chu Yan sent him, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, revealing his first smile these days.

He tapped his fingers and replied: "It looks good."

After thinking about it, Huo Qiao sent Chu Yan another photo of Lucy playing in the snow.

[H: It's snowing in L City]

Chu Yan's reply was quick:

[Yan: Lucy is so cute]

[Yan: I read the weather forecast and said that it is snowing over there, you should pay attention to your body]

[Yan: Bear Hug.jpg]

Huo Qiao hooked his lips slightly, and replied to Chu Yan with a "hug" expression.

He returned to the villa after walking the dog, took off the coat he had gone out, and a servant came up to take the coat in time.

Huo Qiao is tall and has long legs. He is wearing a high-necked light gray sweater and black wool trousers. He has already revealed the tall and handsome figure of a young man. Coupled with his handsome appearance with a clear outline, he will always grab people at the first sight line of sight.

Huo Yuze leaned on the railing on the second floor and looked at this handsome cousin, feeling a little jealous in his heart.

At this time, Huo Qiao downstairs noticed his gaze, raised his head and glanced at him indifferently.

Huo Yuze smiled, and was about to raise his hand to say hello, but Huo Qiao had already looked away.

Lucy, whose hair and paw pads were wiped clean by the servant, happily ran towards Huo Qiao.

Huo Qiao lazily went upstairs with his hands in his trouser pockets, and Lucy followed closely behind him.

On the second floor, Huo Yuze asked Huo Qiao knowingly, "Walking the dog?"

Huo Qiao let out a "hmm", with a cold expression that didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, as if he was saying "nonsense."

Huo Yuze was not annoyed either, he bent down to tease Lucy:

"Lucy, come to me."

Lucy looked at him and then at Huo Qiao, tilted her head and thought for a while, then faithfully leaned against Huo Qiao's leg.

Huo Yuze's smile froze for a moment.

But he quickly straightened up gracefully, smiled at Huo Qiao, "Lucy kisses you very much."

Huo Qiao didn't even look at him, and didn't bother to pay attention to his interaction with Lucy, and walked straight to his room.

Huo Yuze's forehead twitched uncontrollably, and he called Huo Qiao:

"Huo Qiao, don't blame grandpa for not wanting to see you. After all, he just got seriously ill. You don't want to make him angry anymore."

This time, Huo Qiao had a reaction.

He turned around and glanced at Huo Yuze lightly.

There was a lazy half-smile in the extremely black eyes, which seemed to be mocking in Huo Yuze's eyes.

Huo Yuze gritted his teeth secretly in annoyance. What he hated most about Huo Qiao was his air of being superior to others in his bones.

Huo Weiping was like this, and so was Huo Qiao.

Thinking of that photo, he hated to think how could Huo Qiao, a gay man who likes men, be so proud.

Huo Qiao just glanced at Huo Yuze without stopping.

He walked to the door of his room and opened the door. Lucy rushed in with a few "barking" voices, and Huo Qiao clicked his tongue, but didn't stop him.

Huo Yuze said that Mr. Huo didn't want to see Huo Qiao, right or wrong.

Since Mr. Huo woke up, he only allowed the younger generation in the family to visit him in his ward on the first day.

That time, Mr. Huo didn't ask Huo Qiao to go in, so Huo Qiao hadn't seen the old man in the past few days, except for seeing Mr. Huo the night he came back.

Mr. Huo was a very strong person when he was young, and he also wanted face when he was old.

After that, he didn't let the juniors in his family visit him during his convalescence for a few days, only Cui Hongti could visit his ward.

On this day, Huo Weiping entered Mr. Huo's ward.

He stayed in the old man's ward for a long time, and when he came out he had a gloomy demeanor.He rubbed the center of his brows, and then he returned to his usual expressionless look when discussing business.

Huo Weiping left the old man's ward, and took a plane back to the country not long after.

He has always been busy with his affairs, and it is not easy to spare a few days for his itinerary this time.

Before leaving, he didn't say anything to Huo Qiao.

And Mr. Huo sat bored in the room all afternoon, even refusing the doctor's suggestion to go out for a walk.

On the sixth day, Huo Qiao's cousin Xu Youzhi brought her four-year-old daughters Lily and Martha to the manor.

Lily and Martha are a pair of very cute mixed-race twins, whose Chinese names are Xu Ningli and Xu Ningman.

As soon as they came over, it was like two chirping little sparrows blowing away the coldness of winter, and even the air in the manor became much fresher.

Xu Youzhi had already been here before, and after hearing that Mr. Huo was fine, he rushed to Country M to bring his two twin daughters to visit his great-grandfather.

She has a cheerful personality and brings everyone a welcome gift.

Huo Qiao was given a men's perfume.

Huo Qiao picked it up and said "Thank you."

Xu Youzhi is nine years older than Huo Qiao.

When she first met Huo Qiao, Huo Qiao was only six years old. At that time, Huo Qiao was already a handsome boy carved out of ice.

Xu Youzhi is familiar with himself and has a face control, so instead of being intimidated by Huo Qiao's indifference, he rather likes this cool cousin.

After coming and going, the relationship between the two is pretty good, and she talks to Huo Qiao more casually.

Seeing Huo Qiao's indifferent expression, she couldn't help saying: "You are too indifferent, even Huo Yuze said that he likes it very much."

Huo Qiao looked at her wordlessly.

"Okay," Xu Youzhi shrugged, "how are you and grandpa doing?"

Huo Qiao felt a little annoyed when he mentioned this, and he frowned slightly.

Xu Youzhi knew that there was no progress at all, she said, "Grandpa usually loves you the most, just give him a soft look."

Huo Qiao frowned and said, "This is not acceptable."

Xu Youzhi looked at him with his mouth open, and asked for a long time, "Are you serious?"

Huo Qiao let out a "hmm".

Xu Youzhi gave him a thumbs up: "If you really don't sing, you're already a blockbuster."

"Thank you," she sighed, "I specially brought two little ones here to divert your firepower."

Xu Youzhi called Lily and Martha over, and the two little girls looked at Huo Qiao curiously and shyly with their beautiful big blue eyes.

In fact, Huo Qiao met them a few times during the summer vacation, but children don't recognize too many people, and Huo Qiao has never played with them, so although they think Huo Qiao looks familiar, they have already forgotten how to call them Huo Qiao is gone.

"Don't remember how it's called?" Xu Youzhi said, "This is Uncle Huo Qiao."

Lily and Martha remembered a little bit, they were very enthusiastic and called "Uncle Qiaoqiao" in unison.

Two little girls who were almost identical took Huo Qiao's hand and said, "You look so pretty."

One grabbed Huo Qiao by the corner of his clothes and said, "Uncle Qiao Qiao, I also want to play with dogs."

Huo Qiao: "..."

Seeing him being entangled by his daughter, Xu Youzhi covered his mouth and laughed wildly.

Xu Youzhi's younger brother, Huo Ya's youngest son, Xu Yuezhi, who is not yet ten years old, is wearing a plaid shirt with a bow tie, a V-neck sweater, and suit overalls.

Seeing Huo Qiao being entangled by two nieces, he frowned and said, "Don't play with Huo Qiao, he made grandpa mad, he is a bad boy."

Xu Youzhi immediately raised his eyebrows, "Xu Yuezhi, what are you talking about?"

Xu Yuezhi said: "Am I not right?"

Lily and Martha sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and looked at several people suspiciously.

Xu Youzhi looked at Huo Qiao in embarrassment.

Huo Qiao's expression was very calm, and he looked down at Xu Yuezhi.

Xu Yuezhi was a little afraid of him, he tried to straighten out his small chest, but his heart was pounding.

He nervously thought what he should say if Huo Qiao refuted him, but that's what his mother said, so he was right.

Huo Qiao didn't refute him, his eyebrows were stern and beautiful, he just said: "You're right."

……

The two little ones were indeed useful. Mr. Huo, who no longer had to rest for the day, was moved out of the ward, and was coaxed downstairs by the two little ones to have dinner with everyone.

This was the first time that Huo Qiao had officially met Mr. Huo in a few days.

Compared with the summer vacation, Mr. Huo looked older again.

He was wearing a silk and satin Tang suit, and he was leaning on a gloomy wooden dragon-headed cane. His hair was already completely white, but he was still combing it back meticulously.

Because of an illness, the whole person has lost weight, and his face is not very good, but his back is still straight, his eyes are full of concentration, and he can tell that there is a gully in his heart at a glance.

Mr. Huo sat at the main seat, and when he moved his chopsticks, the whole family moved their chopsticks one after another.

A dull meal.

Because of Mr. Huo's habit of "not talking when eating, not talking when sleeping", even Lily and Martha were taught not to talk when eating.

Huo Qiao just lowered his eyelids and picked the food in front of him to eat.

After a while, Mr. Huo put down his bowl and chopsticks, and the others followed suit.

Only then did Mr. Huo show a little smile, "You guys continue to eat."

He said: "When people are old, they can't eat too much."

After he finished speaking, he didn't want anyone to help him, he stood up slowly with his crutches on his hands, and looked back at Huo Qiao before leaving.

"Huo Qiao, come to my study after dinner."

After Mr. Huo left, the atmosphere on the table became more relaxed.

Everyone looked at Huo Qiao, but Huo Qiao still picked up the vegetables around him expressionlessly.

He finished the rice in the bowl and rinsed the mint water before saying to Cui Hongti, "Grandma, I'm going up first."

Cui Hongti looked at him worriedly, "Brother Qiao, don't contradict your grandpa."

Huo Qiao let out a "hmm".

-

There is a chess set in front of Mr. Huo.

Seeing Huo Qiao coming in, he said, "Come, play a game of chess with me."

Huo Qiao doesn't usually play chess, and his chess skills are not good, so he is naturally no match for Mr. Huo.

It didn't take long before he was defeated.

Mr. Huo sighed persistently at Bai Zi, "It's still too young to only focus on the size."

Huo Qiao lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Mr. Huo seemed to have lost interest. He threw the jade chess piece into the chessboard, and the chess pieces made a pleasant clear and crisp sound when they hit each other.

The old man's voice was deep and powerful: "Let me ask you, do you want to change your liking for men or not?"

This time, Huo Qiao raised his eyes, and met Mr. Huo's determined eyes that were hard to conceal after years of precipitation.

"There's no way to change this," he said.

The study was extremely quiet for a while, only the slight ticking of the clock, and even the air was so dull that it seemed to be weighed down by a thousand catties.

Mr. Huo looked at him carefully, a flash of anger flashed across his face, and there were more complicated things.

He asked Huo Qiao: "Is it because I can't change it, or I don't want to change it?"

Huo Qiao said, "I can't change it, and I don't want to change it."
