After wearing the book and the future boss HE

Another year of winter.

City A is very cold in winter, even though he has been there for several years, Chu Yan is still not used to it.

As soon as he left the laboratory, Chu Yan immediately wrapped up his down jacket tightly, and put on his scarf and hat.

While waiting for the elevator, he edited the progress of the experiment and the puzzles he encountered into an email and sent it to his instructor. After getting up the elevator, he quickly put away his mobile phone, and pressed the first floor with bright eyes.

Huo Qiao's work ended early today, and Chu Yan made an appointment with him to go shopping for daily necessities together. Although they had been together for a long time, Chu Yan still looked forward to the fact that they would go to the supermarket together.

Huo Qiao's car was parked downstairs, and he happily ran over to open the door and sit in.

The heater in the car was fully turned on, Chu Yan took off his scarf and hat, and sighed contentedly.

Huo Qiao smiled, and handed Chu Yan a thermos, "Drink some water."

"Thank you."

The corners of Chu Yan's lips curled up. He was in the laboratory all day today and drank very little water. His lips became dry. He obediently held Huo Qiao's cup and drank with his head down.

Huo Qiao looked down at him.

Chu Yan's hair was a little upturned because of the hat he wore before, and his hair was soft, which made him look a little more cute.

Huo Qiao thinks that Chu Yan is a very youthful person. It has been five years since he went from undergraduate to Ph.D., but his refreshing youthfulness has not changed.

Chu Yan looked very happy after drinking the water. He carefully screwed the lid back to its original place. The khaki soft sweater in the open down jacket made his skin fair. Chu Yan lifted Yuanyuan Xiaoluyan said to Huo Qiao, "Drink it."

Huo Qiao laughed, raised his hand and pinched Chu Yan's face, and drove to the supermarket where they often went.

There was a gentle English song in the car, which was very pleasant to hear and very comfortable. Chu Yan looked up at Huo Qiao who was driving, and suddenly remembered that one winter he and Huo Qiao went up the wooden stairs of the hotel after soaking in the hot spring. When I looked up, I saw snowflakes falling quietly on the window sill.

That was the second time Chu Yan saw snow after coming to this world, and Huo Qiao happened to be by his side.

Since being with Huo Qiao, Chu Yan has always felt very happy.

Traveling together will make you feel happy, eating together will make you feel happy, even just looking at Huo Qiao makes you feel happy.

Chu Yan smiled, picked up his mobile phone to deal with the received emails, and his tutor responded quickly, and the emails from his tutor came back before they arrived at the supermarket.

In September of this year, Chu Yan officially became a Ph.D student. His supervisor is Academician Chen Deshen, who has confiscated students for two or three years. Fortunately, Chu Yan was brought into the research group by Academician Chen himself.

Academician Chen has always been strict, and almost never praises students, but he is very responsible, and he will read and reply every email carefully.

The same is true for the email that Academician Chen replied this time.He did not approve of Chu Yan, but thought that Chu Yan's experiment could go further, and then raised Chu Yan's confusion with a few short lines.

Just the general direction made Chu Yanmao suddenly realize.

After Chu Yan replied to the email, Huo Qiao just parked the car, and the two went to the supermarket together to purchase fresh ingredients, snacks, drinks, and some daily necessities.

When passing by the flower area, Chu Yan also bought a bunch of baby's breath.

In order to celebrate Chu Yan becoming his younger brother, Zhuo Cun specially gave Chu Yan a pottery vase as a gift. Chu Yan put it on the dining table, and bought a bouquet of fresh flowers to take home to replace when he went to the supermarket.

When he got home, Chu Yan brought the bought ingredients into the kitchen and prepared to make dinner.

Today Chu Yan planned to marinate some chicken breasts to make juicy chicken breast pancakes. Huo Qiao followed in and helped Chu Yan.

He rolled up his sleeves, revealing a slender and powerful arm.

Chu Yan was worried that the ingredients would stain Huo Qiao's clothes, so he found a clean apron. He put his hands around Huo Qiao's back to tie the apron on Huo Qiao, and Huo Qiao's waist was wrapped in his arms.

Huo Qiao lowered his eyes to see how Chu Yan was seriously tying the straps in front of him, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he lowered his head and kissed the tip of Chu Yan's nose.

Chu Yan glanced at Huo Qiao, his earlobe was slightly red, and he tied a beautiful knot with his fingers flexibly. He straightened up and was about to talk to Huo Qiao, when he suddenly heard Huo Qiao's cell phone ring.

Huo Qiao glanced at the caller ID on the screen and frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?" Chu Yan asked.

Huo Qiao's eyes were dim, and he said without emotion, "Pei Yi's."

Chu Yan was startled, "Assistant Pei?"

"Yeah." Huo Qiao looked at the phone, and then said to Chu Yan, "I'm going to answer the call."

"okay."

After Huo Qiao went out, Chu Yan took out the chicken breast, but when he wanted to tear off the plastic wrap, he slipped his hand and slammed it on the chopping board with a muffled sound.

Chu Yan was in pain, and breathed out in a low voice. He shook his hands, and suddenly felt a little restless.

Ever since they went to college, Huo Qiao never went back to Huo's house. Later, when Huo Qiao started a company, Chu Yan also ran between the laboratory and the hospital, and the two of them rarely went back to Jiangzhou.

Huo Qiao has never been contacted by Huo Zhai, and today... is the first time.

Chu Yan was worried that he had missed something, so he lowered his eyes, trying to recall the novel he had read.

In the novel, Huo Qiao broke with his father because of Su Nianqing, and the father and son did not reconcile after that, but it was written in the novel that Huo Qiao later took over the Huo family and became the head of Huo's Shenghai Group.

When Chu Yan read the novel, he thought that Huo Qiao in the book had snatched the Huo family from his father, but after getting to know Huo Qiao, he knew that Huo Qiao would not disdain to do such a thing.

There must be an opportunity for Huo Qiao to take over the Huo family, but this opportunity is... what?

Chu Yan was very uneasy, and couldn't calm down to deal with the ingredients.

He didn't think for a long time, Huo Qiao had already returned from the phone call.

Chu Yan quickly looked up at him, "Did something happen?"

Huo Qiao paused, and frowned tightly: "I have to go back to Jiangzhou. My dad was diagnosed with liver cancer and will have surgery tomorrow morning."

Chu Yan's mind buzzed, and before he had time to think about it, he quickly said, "I'll accompany you."

Huo Qiao looked at him, then smiled, "Okay."

Huo Qiao's assistant booked the nearest flight for the two of them.

It was already eleven o'clock in the evening when Chu Yan and Huo Qiao landed in Jiangzhou.

Huo Qiao didn't ask Pei Yi to send someone to pick him up, and took a taxi directly to the hospital where Huo Weiping was.

"Huo Qiao, don't worry, the early cure rate of liver cancer is very high. Uncle's lesion does not exceed 5cm, and he is in the golden period of cure."

Chu Yan held Huo Qiao's hand, "Liver transplant surgery is very mature now. Jiangzhou Renguang Hospital is one of the most authoritative hospitals in the country for treating liver tumors. Uncle will be fine."

Huo Qiao sighed, "I hope so."

He squeezed Chu Yan's hand, "Are you tired?"

Chu Yan shook his head.

Pei Yi waited for Huo Qiao downstairs in the hospital.

Seeing Huo Qiao, he quickly explained Huo Weiping's condition, liver cancer in the early and middle stages, 4.5cm malignant tumor, combined with chronic alcoholic cirrhosis, he has already contacted the source of the liver, and is preparing for liver transplantation at 08:30 tomorrow morning.

"This time the surgeon is the well-known Dr. Duan Changlin, and the possibility of success is very high."

Pei Yi looked at Huo Qiao, "Mr. Huo's attitude is also very optimistic. Originally, Mr. Huo said not to tell you, but I think you should know."

Huo Qiao's lips were pursed into a thin line, and there was no expression on his face, he just said, "Take me to have a look."

The night was getting dark, Huo Weiping had already rested, Huo Qiao didn't go in, he stood at the door of the ward and looked in.

At this moment, Huo Qiao couldn't tell what mood he was in.

The once majestic Huo Weiping still came to his mind, but now Huo Weiping has become a patient. From the diagnosis to the liver //source, to the upcoming operation, Huo Qiao didn't know from the beginning to the end.

Huo Qiao looked at Huo Weiping for a while, or for a long time. The nurse in the cubicle brought him a glass of water, and Huo Qiao waved his hand.

He was about to leave, but before he left, he looked back at Huo Weiping's hospital bed.

This glance happened to meet Huo Weiping who had his eyes open.

Huo Qiao frowned.

"Ahem," Huo Weiping coughed a few times and struggled to sit up. The nurse quickly went to rock the backrest for him.

Huo Weiping leaned against the head of the bed, "Why are you here?"

Huo Qiao didn't speak. After three seconds of silence, he walked in, and the nurse moved a chair for him.

Neither the father nor the son spoke for a while. The ward where Huo Weiping lived was already quiet, and the nurses didn't dare to make a sound when they saw this. The needles could be heard in the room.

Before that, Huo Qiao hadn't seen Huo Weiping for nearly six years.

Huo Weiping was much thinner than Huo Qiao remembered, and his complexion was a little gloomy, but he seemed to be in good spirits.

Huo Qiao twitched the corner of his mouth, "I haven't seen you in six years, it seems that you are not doing well."

Huo Weiping snorted, "It's less than half a month."

"Don't be angry, sir," the nurse said, "Mr. has been in pain for the past few days, and he finally fell asleep."

Huo Qiao raised his eyelids slightly, but Huo Weiping's face had already sunk down, "Speak too much."

The nurse was only in his early 20s, and he was the grandson of Chen Bo, the housekeeper of Huo's house. After being reprimanded by Huo Weiping, he immediately dared not speak anymore.

"It's just the early days, what's the pain?" Huo Weiping said coldly.

Huo Qiao raised his wrist to look at the time on the mechanical watch, then stood up from the chair.

He was tall and straight. Huo Weiping, who was lying on the hospital bed, had to look up at him at this stop.

In his memory, the status gap between the two was silently collapsing. Huo Qiao looked at Huo Weiping, and suddenly realized very clearly that Huo Weiping was getting old, and he probably would never and need not look up to him as he did when he was a child.

Huo Qiao lowered his eyes, and said to Huo Weiping with a cold expression: "Don't die."

Huo Weiping snorted, "I can't die."

Huo Qiao: "Yes."

He didn't stay any longer, and walked straight out of the ward.

Huo Weiping looked at his back, and suddenly said, "It's not six years."

Huo Qiao paused slightly but did not stop.

Huo Weiping smiled, lowered his voice, and murmured to himself, "I met you at your school when you were a sophomore."

-

When Huo Qiao came out of Huo Weiping's ward, Chu Yan was waiting outside nervously, and when he saw him, he immediately came up to him.

"How is it, uncle?"

Huo Qiao rubbed his hair, "It's better than I thought."

"Oh," Chu Yan nodded, he touched Huo Qiao's face, "Don't worry too much, I just went to the doctor here to find out, uncle's situation is not complicated, the operation has a success rate of more than 90% , and Duan Changlin is a top hepatobiliary surgeon with rich experience, and the success rate can be increased by at least 5%.”

Chu Yan tried his best to comfort Huo Qiao with concise words. Huo Qiao's hand was cold, and Chu Yan held Huo Qiao's hand in his palm and rubbed it distressedly.

Huo Qiao laughed, "Let's go, I'll take you home first."

"What about you?" Chu Yan asked.

It was getting late, and it would be dawn in a few hours.

Huo Qiao looked at the empty corridor, and said lightly, "Just wait here."

Chu Yan blinked, and immediately replied: "Then I will accompany you here."

Huo Qiao frowned slightly.

"Let me stay with you, okay?" Chu Yan pulled Huo Qiao's hand and looked at him eagerly.

He stubbornly insisted on his choice, so Huo Qiao had no choice but to agree.

Chu Yan immediately bent his lips, and he looked at Huo Qiao seriously, his dark deer eyes reflected the bright lights in the hospital corridor, "I will stay with you, no matter what happens."

No one asked Huo Qiao and the others to stay.

However, Huo Qiao and Chu Yan stayed in the corridor all night. In the morning, Chu Yan went to the hospital canteen to buy toiletries. The doctor on duty he had asked yesterday enthusiastically asked them to go to the duty room to wash up.

Chu Yan also packed porridge and steamed buns back, but it was cold outside, so they would cool down after a while.

"I've wronged you." Huo Qiao said softly as he watched Chu Yan nibble on the cold bun.

"I don't feel wronged."

Chu Yan took Huo Qiao's hand, he smiled, and said softly but firmly: "It will be fine."

Huo Qiao pinched his face, "Did you ask your tutor for leave?"

Chu Yan was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened.

"I forgot..." He patted his head and asked the instructor for leave.

Academician Chen has a regular schedule, going to bed before eleven o'clock in the evening and getting up on time at six o'clock in the morning.

Now Academician Chen just woke up, and he replied not long after sending Chu Yan's leave message.

He asked about Huo Weiping's hospital and the chief surgeon, and comforted Chu Yan with a high survival rate after liver transplantation.

[That old dude Duan Changlin is really good at this, and there is no failure case yet, so don't worry too much]

Chu Yan bent his lips and showed Academician Chen's information to Huo Qiao.

-

Huo Qiao's father's operation lasted from 08:30 in the morning to [-] in the afternoon. The operation was successful, and Huo Weiping was transferred to the ICU for observation.

Both Chu Yan and Huo Qiao were temporarily relieved.

Only then did Huo Qiao tell the news of Huo Weiping's surgery to his grandparents who were far away in L City.

The two elderly people arrived in Jiangzhou by private plane the next day.

Huo Qiao's grandfather, Mr. Huo, was leaning on a cane with a dragon's head. His hair was already gray, his back was slightly bent, but his eyes were still calm and energetic.

Huo Qiao's grandma is a graceful and luxurious old lady, her red eyes do not hide her elegance, it seems that the years will only add color to her and not reduce her points, people can tell that she has grown from young to beautiful at a glance. old.

When Chu Yan saw Huo Qiao's grandparents for the first time, he couldn't help but feel his heart pounding.

Huo Qiao shook his hand and greeted the two old people with a calm expression.

Mr. Huo's sophisticated eyes swept across Chu Yan, and after a short pause, he moved to Huo Qiao and the attending doctor.

"What's the situation now?"

Huo Weiping was still in the ICU and had already woken up.

He is recovering well, and no infection or rejection has been seen so far. After a brief visit, the driver of Huo Zhai came to pick up the two old people and go back to rest.

Leaning on crutches, Mr. Huo turned his head to look at Huo Qiao and Chu Yan, "You guys come too."

……

There is a small table in the middle of the extended RV, and Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo are sitting on the leather chairs opposite.

Sitting next to Xiaoji are Huo Qiao and Chu Yan.

Chu Yan was nervous, his back was straight, and he sat upright, not daring to move.

The two old men on the opposite side were looking at him, Mrs. Huo's expression was slightly cold, while Mr. Huo couldn't see any emotion.

"Are you Chu Yan?" Mr. Huo asked.

"I'm."

Mr. Huo closed his eyes slightly and opened them again, "Where do you live?"

Chu Yan was stunned for a moment. Both he and Huo Qiao went back to Yulan Huating these two days, but judging by Mr. Huo's attitude, Huo Qiao would not let Huo Qiao go back with him. Chu Yan answered after consideration: "Yongmao Lu Xin Rui Garden."

Mr. Huo leaned on crutches with both hands, and told the driver in front of him in a quiet voice, "Drive to Yongmao Road first to send someone back."

"Yes."

Huo Qiao frowned, and Chu Yan quickly smiled at him, "I'm going home to see my mother and my brother too."

As soon as Chu Yan's words came out, the old lady Huo's expression on the opposite side became a lot more kind.

Mr. Huo glanced at him, "Are you still studying?"

"That's right," Chu Yan nodded, "I'm studying Doctor One."

"I heard that Academician Chen Deshen is your teacher?"

Obviously Mr. Huo knew a lot about Chu Yan. After Chu Yan answered, he said: "Academician Chen is a man of great talent. You should study hard from him."

This sentence didn't seem to be said to a stranger who didn't like it, but more like it was said to a junior who recognized it.

Chu Yan slightly opened his eyes.

Huo's old lady Cui Hongti looked at his surprised expression and curled her lips slightly, "My grandson has been stubborn since he was a child. Now that we have recognized you, what can we do as elders? We agreed to it at the beginning, and we can't go back on it now. Where do you put the two old faces of me and your grandfather?"

Chu Yan blinked a little unresponsively.

Huo Qiao laughed, turned his head to Chu Yan and said, "Why don't you call grandpa and grandma?"

Chu Yan: "!!!"

His ears were red, and he tentatively called out, "Grandpa, grandma..."

The old lady sighed, "I think this little brother is worse than Yuezhi."

Mr. Huo was still calm and calm: "Anyway, he is a doctor, with a higher education than your grandson."

The Huo family's car stopped on Yongmao Road.

"Yongmao Road is here." The driver said.

"okay."

Chu Yan hurriedly carried her schoolbag, got out of the car and stood beside the car and bowed to the two old people in the car, "Grandpa and grandma, I'm leaving first."

After calling people, he looked up at Huo Qiao again, and Huo Qiao was also looking at him.

"Be careful on the road." Huo Qiao said.

Chu Yan nodded, and mouthed to Huo Qiao, "I'll come to you tomorrow."

I don't know if Huo Qiao understood it. The Huo family's car drove away quickly. Chu Yan was in a complicated mood. He was worried about Huo Qiao's father and dizzy because of the approval of the two old people.

Chu Yan knew that the two old men would agree only because of Huo Qiao, but he was still very excited.

Then he thought of Wang Mei, Xiao Hanyang and Uncle Qu, and his heart became warm again.

Chu Yan walked towards the community.

……

"How long has it been since you went back to Huo's house?" Mr. Huo looked at Huo Qiao.

Huo Qiao didn't say anything.

"Oh, you child," the old lady's eyes began to turn red, "are you really planning to never go back for the rest of your life?"

Huo Qiao pursed his lips.

Mr. Huo looked at Huo Qiao, his voice became stale for a moment.

Huo Qitai was close to the pole, he no longer held on, and became like a weather-beaten old man who had seen his fate, "Your grandma and I are half-buried people. You said you had to earn it yourself, but I thought There is no way to see it.

"But you are fighting for your spirit, I am not optimistic about you in vain."

Mr. Huo tapped the ground with his cane, "Do you know why I let you go so easily back then?"

Huo Qiao was slightly taken aback, "Why?"

In recent years, Mr. Huo's health is not as good as before. He has suffered from several minor illnesses, and his eye sockets are sunken due to thinness. His slightly cloudy eyes are still heavy and clear.

He looked at Huo Qiao and sighed.

"Because of your father."

In the quiet carriage, Mr. Huo spoke slowly, his old voice narrating an old story from a few years ago.

"Your father talked with me all afternoon, telling me not to get angry because of you, saying that since you want to make a breakthrough, why don't you just let you try, saying that you are still young, and age will tell the truth.

"I'm sulking with him. My grandson, who has been the heir of the Huo family for so long, deviates from the orthodoxy. If he says he will run away with a man, he will run away with him. If he says he won't go back to the Huo family, he won't go back to the Huo family. Even if I faint once, It still hurts to think about it!"

Mr. Huo knocked on his crutches a few times, and the old lady urged him anxiously, "Don't be angry anymore, don't let your son recover and you will be angry again!"

Mr. Huo waved his hand, "Your father has become more and more powerful in the family over the years. I'm old, and I can't beat him."

He slowly sighed: "Your father begged me inside the door during the day, and you begged me outside the door at night, one son and one grandson, how hard it is!

"I'm an old bone. Every day I live, I'm fighting for my life with the world. When I get old, all I can do is compromise.

"Look at your father, why isn't he compromising with you?"

The author has something to say:

Too goo (kneeling down), try to finish the chapter!
