Huo Wu’s heart was heavy just thinking about leaving Huo Yusen.
She naturally didn’t want to leave him. But sometimes, not everything can be determined based on what she wanted.
Huo Wu turned away from the window and looked at Huo Yusen, who had such an admirable aura. Then, she put her head on his shoulder and said, “Older brother, it seemed as if I grew up in the blink of an eye.” Her voice was so soft that it seemed it could be blown away by the wind anytime.
Growing up meant adulthood, and it also meant separation.
When a person reaches adulthood, they would have to leave his or her home.
Huo Yusen tilted his head slightly and looked at Huo Wu, who was lying on him. With a deep but sweet voice, he said, “You can grow up slowly.”
Hearing this, Huo Wu can’t help but laugh, “How do you grow up slowly?“
She didn’t have the power to manipulate time or the power to stop time from progressing for her.
After the new year, she would be eighteen. And based on what was supposed to happen, there would be a few major events that will happen when she turns eighteen.
First, she would get into a car accident, which caused her to have severe blood loss that required blood transfusion. Because of this, the Huo Family would discover that her blood type doesn’t match theirs. Then, they would submit a DNA test, which will give them the result that she was indeed not a child of the Huo Family. And at last, the Huo Family would find the true child, which was actually Jiang Yuqing. Huo Wu would then switch places with Jiang Yuqing, and return to the life that actually belonged to her. Huo Wu was a little scared of the car accident that would expose everything and worst of all, it might not be an accident that could be avoided. However, all of this was far less scary than having to leave Huo Yusen.
Huo Yusen didn’t explain much, and simply replied, “You can stay the way you are now.”
Just like how simple and innocent you are right now; continue having a childlike heart and grow up slowly.
That was enough.
There was no need for her to learn how to take care of different things, and there was no need to learn how to become mature.
She had him and the Huo Family backing her up and protecting her.
She just had to continue being the happy little princess of the Huo Family; she didn’t need to worry or fear about anything.
However, Huo Wu was still worried as she thought about the car accident.
She was actually really afraid of pain.
In her past life, she was actually slapped and whipped while acting. She wanted to cry at those moments, but reality doesn’t allow her to do so. As a result, she had to gradually learn how to be strong.
But after meeting Huo Yusen in this life, the strength she had learned was slowly breaking apart into small pieces.
He was so powerful that there was nothing he couldn’t do and most important of all, he gave her a sense of security that she never experienced before.
Everyone said that it was easy to go from austerity to luxury, but harder the other way around. Would she be able to return to the way things used to be? To the cold and emptiness of having no one that really cared about her after experiencing such warmth?
Huo Wu suddenly parted her mouth and said, “Older brother, what if I… “
“Yes?”
Huo Wu bit her lips tightly. She was going to ask him if he would worry about her if she gets into a car accident.
But right after she began speaking, she knew that this question was meaningless.
This was because, without a doubt, he will definitely worry about her.
Huo Wu laid her head on Huo Yusen’s shoulder, gently shook her head, “Nevermind.”
When Huo Wu arrived at school the next day, Yu Xinxin sneakily whispered to her ears, “Something big happened!”
If it weren’t for the gloating expression on Yu Xinxin’s face, Huo Wu probably would’ve actually believed her. But judging from her looks, it probably wasn’t something important, rather it was probably some good news.
As Huo Wu put her bookbag down and asked, “What the big news?”
Yu Xinxin chuckled out loud before she happily leaned toward Huo Wu’s ears and said, “Ye Yue transferred to another school.”
Ye Yue transferred?
Huo Wu replied in shock, “Ye Yue transferred?” She had never even met Ye Yue before, and she already transferred? She was going to confront her face to face, yet she was crowned the winner before she even had the chance to meet Ye Yue in person?
Huo Wu’s voice was quite loud, so many of the people in the class heard her. The whole class fell silent for a moment but everything returned to normal a few seconds after.
The girls who worshipped Ye Yue as their leader were all quiet, looking down at the floor.
The moment Ye Yue left, they had become loose sand and couldn’t make an impact anymore.
Yu Xinxin looked at them condescendingly and then smiled happily, “Yeah, isn’t this big news?”
It actually was big news.
“But why did she transfer so suddenly?”
Yu Xinxin shrugged and said, “I don’t know about this. Maybe the three hooligans really have something to do with her.”
Yu Xinxin almost peed her pants at the time because of them. She was so dumbfounded that she only came back to her senses when Mo Ze wiped the blood off Huo Wu’s hands.
And when she got home that night, she had a nightmare and she still hadn’t fully recovered from that.
Yu Xinxin took out her phone, and started fiddling with it, “Let me ask big brother Mo.”
Huo Wu looked at Xu Xinxin surprisingly, “Big brother Mo? Is that Mo Ze?”
Yu Xinxin justifyingly said, “Yeah. He took care of those hooligans last time, so maybe he knows about this too.”
Huo Wu didn’t know how Yu Xinxin and Mo Ze had already become so close.
She wanted to reveal Mo Ze’s true nature to Yu Xinxin, but seeing that she didn’t seem to have that kind of thought about Mo Ze, Huo Wu didn’t know if she should speak badly of him.
Mo Ze’s reply came quickly.
After taking a look at the response, Yu Xinxin rushed to give her phone for Huo Wu to see, “Look at it yourself.”
Huo Wu skimmed through Mo Ze’s reply.
It turned out that Ye Yue really was the one who hired the three hooligans. Mo Ze said that he already made them serve their time in prison, and they won’t be let out anytime soon. Also, it was hard to say whether they will have a nice time there.
When Huo Wu was still skimming through the message, Yu Xinxin said, “Mo Ze took care of the three hooligans, but he has nothing to do with Yu Yue’s transfer.”
Huo Wu handed the phone back to Yu Xinin after reading the message and said, “If it was not him, then it had to be my brother.”
Huo Wu never would have thought that both Huo Yusen and Mo Ze would get involved in this matter.
She can’t help but have a headache about this matter because Mo Ze got involved too.
