Chapter 860: Huo Yingcheng, Yu Bao’er (32)
“Where to?”
As the father, Yu Chengzhuang’s reaction was the strongest.
Yu Bao’er had already given up by now. “Nothing, just going downstairs.”
It beats letting Huo Yingcheng stay here.
Huo Yingcheng, too, understood her intention. He got up immediately. “Uncle Auntie, I’ll get going first.”
Yu Chengzhuang glanced at him with an unfriendly countenance. Miao Jiahe also stood up and nodded. “Then you two can go down first. You’re welcome to visit again.”
Yu Chengzhuang: “...”
Again???
Yu Bao’er quickly left the house with Huo Yingcheng.
When they reached downstairs, the originally calm Yu Bao’er started going berserk. “Aaaaahhhhhh! I shouldn’t have brought you to my place.”
“You’re hilarious. It was you who asked me to go up.”
Huo Yingcheng sneered behind her, then retrieved a cigarette to smoke out of habit.
He was heavily addicted to cigarettes and was used to constantly smoking.
“I was just...”
Being polite.
But Yu Bao’er couldn’t say that out loud, for she felt a tad awkward.
The duo simply walked in silence.
Yu Bao’er was walking in front, while Huo Yingcheng followed behind while smoking a cigarette.
With the smoke swirling around him, and one walking in front and the other following behind, looking at Huo Yingcheng, someone who didn’t know better might think that Huo Yingcheng was stalking Yu Bao’er.
With no particular destination in mind, Yu Bao’er just walked aimlessly along the path. After a while, Yu Bao’er couldn’t hold herself back anymore. “Why are you now so certain that I’m not the one who took your lighter? You sounded furious over the phone yesterday.”
He was surprised she still minded this.
Huo Yingcheng felt a headache when he thought of his mother. Hearing Yu Bao’ers tone, he said after some pondering, “So you’re angry?”
“You bet!” Yu Bao’er admitted to it readily. “How could I not be? You would be too if you were maligned like me. Of course, I’m not saying you’re the one who maligned me. All I mean is that it’s too sudden for that lighter to absurdly appear in my luggage out of nowhere.”
As she spoke, she turned around to face Huo Yingcheng.
With the cigarette between his jaws, Huo Yingcheng looked at Yu Bao’er with a dark and gloomy gaze.
The youthful vibe of the young lady before him was as though they were a century apart.
One look and people could tell he was an older man, unlike Yu Bao’er who still retained her wonderful youth.
“We saw someone enter your room through the CCTV, but we have not found out the identity of the person.”
Huo Yingcheng cooked up an excuse.
Yu Bao’er stopped abruptly. Huo Yingcheng thought that she was going to flare up, but she merely stood there and stared at him with a frown. “Can you stop smoking?”
“How does my smoking bother you...”
Huo Yingcheng grumbled. Nonetheless, he put out his cigarette and tossed it in the trash can.
“I’ve never seen you smoke back in the troops.”
“Duh. What kind of a place in the army? Would one be allowed to smoke?”
Huo Yingcheng then stuck both hands into his pockets and walked towards her. “Come, aren’t you a local in Dayi City? This is even Qingjiu’s hometown. I’ve never taken a proper tour of this place back then. How about you take me around?”
With that, he walked forward by himself.
Yu Bao’er pouted upon hearing this. She stared at his back view for a while, and could only follow him.
Today’s weather was rather pleasant, with sunshine that was warm and comfortable, but not scorching.
