Chapter 130
“Pretty good, but your uncle has a visitor inside,” Ye Zhi said, pausing before asking, “Do you have a pen with you?”
Huo Ran had brought a small backpack, which not only contained a pen but also a sketchbook. Ye Zhi knew, “You can ask the gentleman inside to sign for you.” He remembered that Huo Ran liked that celebrity.
At first, Huo Ran didn’t understand, but when she went in and saw Wen Han, she became excited. Her eyes sparkled with excitement.
Since the last video incident, Wen Han’s popularity had declined significantly, and many of his jobs had been canceled, reducing his exposure. To salvage his image, the company arranged for him to shoot an art film in a closed location, which was why it took so long for the news to reach him and for him to come to visit.
However, Huo Ran was still young, and the news hadn’t reached her ears. She only knew that this gentleman was very handsome, and she really liked him.
Shyly asking for an autograph, Huo Ran was reluctant to leave. She clutched her notebook and stared at Wen Han, completely fascinated. Wen Han had obviously been crying, his eyes red. He recognized Huo Youqiao and seemed a little uneasy. Huo Youcheng was also somewhat flustered, looking at Ye Zhi with a hesitant expression. Huo Youqiao furrowed his brow.
Only Ye Zhi seemed calm. He even wanted to go back to his original seat to finish reading his book. As he made to leave, Huo Youcheng hurriedly spoke up, “Zhi Zhi…”
Ye Zhi turned to look at him. “What’s the matter? Do you need water?”
The caregiver came in, so the caretaking tasks usually didn’t fall on him.
Huo Youcheng looked a bit pitiful, seeming somewhat aggrieved. Wen Han finally couldn’t bear it, quietly excused himself, and left. Huo Ran looked reluctant to leave, so Huo Youqiao said, “Let’s walk with your dad to see off this gentleman.”
Wen Han looked pleasantly surprised and waved his hand, saying, “No need, no need…” but Huo Youqiao insisted, and he couldn’t refuse any longer.
Finally, the ward was empty, and the door was closed. Huo Youcheng quickly waved to Ye Zhi, “Zhi Zhi, come here, let me explain.”
Ye Zhi walked over, and then his hand was held.
“I didn’t know he would come. We really broke up back then. You could have stopped him from coming in. Anyway, please don’t be angry, okay?” Huo Youcheng not only held his hand but also wrapped his arm around his waist and even leaned against his stomach affectionately.
Ye Zhi was surprised. He didn’t know he looked angry. “I’m not angry. He came to visit you as a guest, and I have no reason to drive him away.”
“See, you’re still angry and won’t admit it. Believe me, I really broke up with him. And back then, I didn’t really like him. I just wanted to make you mad because you were too harsh on me.”
Ye Zhi struggled to remember. “Did I make you mad?”
“You did.” Huo Youcheng looked up at him. “You don’t care about me!”
His childish appearance seemed immature. In fact, Huo Youcheng was indeed two years younger than Ye Zhi. Spoiled since childhood, he was good at acting cute. If it weren’t for the lesson from the Ye family, he might not have turned into the “tyrant” he later became.
Meeting his gaze, Ye Zhi quickly relented, just like he always did. “I’m sorry, I won’t do it again.”
Seeing his apology, Huo Youcheng seemed somewhat pleased and then asked, “Give me a smile.”
When Huo Ran burst into the room, she saw Huo Youcheng holding Ye Zhi’s waist and Ye Zhi smiling at him. Immediately, she ran over, saying, “I want to hug Zhi Zhi too!”
Hearing her voice, Ye Zhi turned around in a panic. The first person he saw wasn’t Huo Ran but Huo Youqiao, who was following behind her.
Perhaps her opening the door too quickly prevented Huo Youqiao from stopping her, so he saw Ye Zhi and his brother’s current posture and met Ye Zhi’s gaze.
The awkwardness only lasted for a few seconds before Ye Zhi looked away.
Huo Youcheng and Huo Ran began to compete for Ye Zhi’s embrace, deliberately making a fuss. Soon, the room was filled with laughter and joy.
