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

Just when Shi Yan was wondering uncomfortably whether she should express her opinion in the current atmosphere, the ending song started playing on TV.

"Brother Ming, it's over."

"Ah."

"Then, who of us should go wash up and rest first?" Shi Yan asked.

"You go first, I'm not in a hurry."

Huo Ming still held her in his arms. Although he asked Shi Yan to go wash up, he didn't move at all.

"Brother Ming, please let me go first."

It was not until Shi Yan reminded him that Huo Ming let go of the person in his arms, as if he had suddenly realized something, with a slight blush on his face.

The warmth in his arms gradually faded away, and Huo Ming suddenly realized his abruptness. Listening to the sound of water in the bathroom, Huo Ming felt a little uneasy. He paced around the room. He had nothing to do at first, but then he saw the dust on the cabinet that had not been wiped clean and the mud and sand brought in from the entrance.

Huo Cheng secretly sighed that his younger brother was not reliable enough and he would have to give him some more advice tomorrow, so he picked up the mop and rag and started cleaning again.

After Shi Yan finished washing up, Huo Ming had already finished his work and was sitting in the living room reading a book, as if the person who was working so hard just now was not him at all.

There was only a small table lamp in the corner of the living room on. Huo Ming was wearing glasses with thin frames. The light reflected and Huo Ming's eyebrows and eyes could not be seen clearly, but the beauty looked more and more beautiful under the light. Even if this person's gender had changed, it was still pleasing to the eye.

Shi Yan looked at Huo Ming like this and felt reluctant to interrupt his interest in reading, so she didn't say anything for a long time.

However, Huo Ming, who had been posing for a while, felt his neck stiff and the hand holding the book felt a little sore. Being stared at by the little girl, he didn't know whether he should turn the pages of the book or how to turn them.

Finally, Shi Yan saw that Huo Ming was reading the same page without turning the page. She knew that Huo Ming was not reading and might be thinking about something, so she called out to Huo Ming in a low voice.

"Brother Ming, I'm done washing up. I'm going back to my room to sleep. Brother Ming should also hurry up and wash up and sleep. You still have to go to work tomorrow!"

"Bang." After the bedroom door was closed, Huo Ming put the book in his hand on the empty space beside him and rubbed his sore arm.

I couldn't help but find it funny. How come I, a gay man, am not as free as a young girl after starting a relationship?

However, compared to yesterday when they just confirmed their relationship and stayed awake excitedly until dawn, Huo Ming slept early today.

The next day, Huo Ming no longer rushed to make breakfast, but he still did a lot of work. Today, Shi Yan cooked millet porridge with a side dish, and Huo Ming was the one who washed the vegetables and cut the ingredients.

"Xiaoxiao, when I come to deliver lunch at noon, don't leave in a hurry. I will take you to the factory to meet my friend."

Before Huo Ming left for work, he thought that he and Shi Yan had already confirmed their relationship. Since his family had met them, he should naturally let his friends meet them as well.

"Didn't they say that outsiders are not allowed in and out of the factory?"

"It's not allowed for outsiders, but you are not one of them. Remember to bring your own meal with you and eat it in my office at noon."

Shi Yan: “Okay.”

Knowing that she would meet Huo Ming's friends at noon, Shi Yan went to the market today to buy a duck and scallops. When she went out at noon, she changed the net bag that she usually used to hold lunch boxes into a basket. In addition to 5 aluminum lunch boxes, there was also a casserole in the basket.

The basket was not light, but when Shi Yan used her special powers, it became light.

"Nephew, I beg you, please be kind. I only have this one daughter, and she's your cousin! For the sake of me and your mother, please give her a chance to start over!"

"She is ignorant. I kowtow to you. Please let her go. If you want to vent your anger, arrest me. I am an old man and I don't have many days left to live!"

The woman, dressed simply, with a wrinkled face and constantly wiping her tears, ignored the passers-by who tried to stop her, begged for forgiveness and pretended to kowtow to the ground.

Not far from her, there were several well-dressed men and women standing. To outsiders, no matter what, looking at the old and tired woman could arouse everyone's sympathy.

Shi Yan didn't recognize the woman kneeling on the ground, but she was very familiar with the man led by several people surrounded by the crowd.

Obviously, when Shi Yan discovered Huo Ming, Huo Ming also saw her outside the crowd. The man shook his head slightly to signal Shi Yan not to get close, and the woman who was kowtowing to the ground was stopped by Huo's mother who suddenly appeared.

"Sister Qin, what are you doing? You are so old, how can you kneel down to a junior?"

Huo's mother tried very hard, but in the end Huo Ming went forward and pulled her up, and only then did Huo's mother pull up the person who was still trying to kneel on the ground.

"Yanzi, please help me. You know, I only have this one daughter. I'm begging you for the last time. Please let our Shishi go. I'll take her back to the countryside and never let her bother you again!"

Huo's mother's original name was Wang Yan, but because she is now a junior high school teacher, many of the neighbors around her are parents or colleagues. Now few people call her by her nickname and they all call her Teacher Wang.

At this moment, looking at the person in front of me, who is only a few years older than me, but looks very old, and thinking of the friendship we had when we were young, I feel a little bit reluctant.

Huo Ming knew his mother's temper very well. She was soft-hearted and sentimental. However, Chang Yashi's matter could be a big deal or a small one. It was not impossible to settle it privately, but Huo Ming just wanted Chang Yashi to bear the consequences of her actions.

We are all adults now. We should think about the consequences before doing anything, instead of regretting it only after something goes wrong.

"Boss, what should we do next regarding Yashi?"

Huo's mother did not make a decision directly for her son, but she still asked Huo Ming's opinion first. However, her reluctant expression clearly showed that she wanted to see if there was any room for negotiation.

"I'm just the director of a garment factory. She was carrying a knife and attempted murder. Everyone in the office saw it. Even if I wanted to forgive her, others were still worried that she would go crazy."

"Even if she is taken back to the countryside, her legs are on her body. Who knows if she will sneak out? I can't control this matter."

"If Aunt Qin is really worried about your daughter, why not give her some money after the verdict comes out and take good care of her, so that her life in prison can be a little easier."

After saying this, Huo Ming stopped looking at the woman who was still crying and turned his gaze to his mother.

"Mom, I have to go to work this afternoon, so you should go back to work soon. Come and bring me lunch, I won't be with you at noon."

Huo Ming walked straight towards Shi Yan and immediately took the basket from Shi Yan's hand. He didn't expect the basket to be so heavy in his hand. He was caught off guard and his arm sank down reflexively. Shi Yan quickly reached out to hold the basket.

Huo Ming only felt his hand lighten, and then looking at Shi Yan who looked so relaxed, he suddenly doubted if his health was really not that good, why couldn't he even compare to his delicate little girlfriend.

"I didn't notice what was in it just now. It's quite heavy."

While Huo Ming was speaking, he had already secretly exerted force to hold the basket tightly, and with his other hand he held Shi Yan.

"Let me pick it up. I'll take you to the factory."
