Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

"Brother, I'm leaving."

Huo Cheng left quickly, and Huo Ming returned to the kitchen to continue washing the dishes. He was now very skilled at washing dishes and would no longer drop bowls or plates due to lack of experience.

His hands kept moving, but Huo Ming's thoughts had long since wandered off to who knows where.

Today, my younger brother called the little girl "sister-in-law". For some reason, he found it pleasing to the ear, as if he and the little girl had really become a family.

Normally he would keep his distance from female comrades as much as possible. When the young girl first came to be his nanny, he had no other thoughts and just regarded her as a young and capable nanny.

Then he discovered that the little girl seemed to have other feelings for him, and he deliberately distanced himself from her.

But because of the little girl's illness, the two became close again and became more and more in sync in daily life. Although he now has a nanny, he has to do more and more work every day.

But washing dishes, mopping the floor and sweeping the floor are simple tasks that don't require much brainpower. In fact, every time after finishing the work, he would feel an inexplicable sense of accomplishment when looking at the shiny floor and clean dishes, and the annoyance in his heart when seeing dirt would disappear without a trace.

What if he really formed a family with the little girl?

He didn't care whether the girl was in good health or not. Anyway, he was not the only son in the Huo family. It didn't matter whether he had children or not. At most, when Huo Cheng reached the age, he could get married and have children earlier. If he was free, he could help take care of the children.

The more Huo Ming thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was a good one. He and the girl were actually quite compatible. If he missed this person, he didn't know when he would be able to find someone who was so suitable for him.

I just don't know if the girl minds that he is 6-7 years older than her. Although Huo Ming is not an impatient person, he is a practical person. Now that he has this idea, he has to say it in advance. After all, the girl is young, and she will have more choices when she is older.

Huo Ming quickened his movements and after washing all the dishes for today, he was ready to go find the girl and talk about whether or not to do something real. However, he only took two steps before he retreated back to the kitchen.

He glanced at his clean and tidy light blue shirt, turned on the faucet again, reached out to scoop up a handful of water and poured it on his shirt. He also wiped it with his hand to make the thin shirt stick completely to his body, highlighting his clearly defined muscles.

When Huo Ming saw his current appearance, his cheeks couldn't help but feel hot, but he thought that the little girl seemed to like watching these things, so now she should be able to see it clearly, right?

After making sure that he was what the little girl wanted to see the most, Huo Ming pretended to be calm and walked towards the living room. Seeing that the little girl was watching TV seriously, he deliberately coughed twice. Seeing that the little girl had no reaction, Huo Ming had no choice but to walk straight to Shi Yan's side and sit down next to her.

Shi Yan was watching Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. She couldn't take her eyes off the crudely produced scenes on TV, but the content was so novel that she naturally didn't notice the careful "dressing up" of the people around her.

"Xiao Xiao, what are you reading? Why aren't you reading Journey to the West?"

Huo Ming was just making small talk, trying to attract Shi Yan's attention.

"Brother Ming, this is Liao Zhai. Journey to the West has already ended. Take a look at this. It's also very interesting."

"is it?"

Seeing that Shi Yan still didn't turn back, Huo Ming suppressed the awkwardness in his heart and moved towards Shi Yan so that the two of them could be closer.

When Shi Yan felt someone approaching, she subconsciously moved to the side.

Noticing Shi Yan's movements, Huo Ming frowned and continued to move towards Shi Yan. Shi Yan naturally moved a little to the side.

When Huo Ming moved over again, Shi Yan finally realized something was wrong. She turned around and saw Huo Ming's wet shirt and his neat and strong muscles at a glance.

Shi Yan felt her eyebrows twitching and she wanted to look away, but her eyes were a little out of control.

"Hour, why don't you watch it?"

Huo Ming was very satisfied with Shi Yan's reaction. He asked Shi Yan to shift her attention to the content of her conversation with him.

Why don't you watch it? Am I not watching it?

This was Shi Yan's first reaction, and it took her 2-3 seconds to realize that Huo Ming was talking about not watching TV.

So when Shi Yan moved her eyes away and raised her head, she happened to meet the eyes of Huo Ming, who was smiling.

"What do you think of me, Xiaoshi?"

When Shi Yan heard this question, her heart skipped a beat, but a guess also emerged in her mind. After all, getting along is a matter between two people, and she knew very well how she and Huo Ming got along.

"It's pretty good. There's no better employer than Brother Ming. Not only does he help me with the work, he also pays for medicine to treat my illness. I can also read books and watch TV to kill time. To be honest, there's nothing wrong with it."

"Then we can keep doing this forever, and you won't even have to do most of the work anymore. Can we hire a nanny to take care of you?"

"What I mean is, I don't want our relationship to be just a fake one. I want to be real with you, the kind where we get married once you reach the age."

Huo Ming has never been in a relationship, and the person of the opposite sex he interacts with the most is Huo's mother. Now, even a serious confession of love comes out haltingly and his words fail to express clearly.

"Okay."

Huo Ming was still upset that his decision was made so suddenly and he had not prepared anything, but unexpectedly, the people around him agreed directly.

"Shi Ying, if you are really willing, and you don't regret it, I am still six or seven years older than you, are you willing too?"

"I think Brother Ming is very nice and takes good care of me. I don't think there is anything wrong with him."

"Also, since my parents divorced, I have never been taken care of by anyone. If Brother Ming can continue to accommodate me and take care of me like he does now, I actually think it would be a very happy thing to marry Brother Ming."

From the first day Shi Yan came into this world, she was prepared to marry Huo Ming sooner or later. However, at that time, she thought that Huo Ming was not interested in women, so she would wait until Huo Ming was old, use her supernatural powers to control him, and the two of them would get a marriage certificate, and she would be considered as Huo Ming's wife.

The person in front of him had a smile on her face and a twinkling light in her eyes. Huo Ming felt as if he was looking at the girl so carefully for the first time.

But now it is not appropriate to use the word "little girl" to describe the pretty person in front of her. Compared to the childish look when she first came to the house, Shi Yan has now grown into a graceful and elegant lady.

Not only has she grown a lot taller, but her entire temperament and figure fully demonstrate the youthfulness and charm of a girl of this age.

"Then you are my partner now."

Huo Ming stretched out his hand and grasped Shi Yan's hands, which were placed on her knees, in his palms, looking a little nervous.

"Correct."

Shi Yan answered very confidently, and seeing Huo Ming's nervous look, she shook his hand in return.
