Not as an example

Chapter 84 Go the way you choose

Huo Chi took a taxi home after class. He didn't have dinner with the basketball club at night, so he just didn't want to worry Qiao Yecheng.

He gave Zou R & D news in advance, so when he got home, Huo Zhenlin and Zou Yan were already sitting in the living room waiting for him.

The first thing Huo Zhenlin said when he saw him was: "Break up?"

"No." Huo Chi said.

"No money?" Huo Zhenlin asked again.

Huo Chi smiled, "Dad, don't you know me well? Even if I'm so poor that I have to set up a stall, I can't come back and ask you for money."

Huo Zhenlin coiled the bracelet, no joy or anger could be seen on his face, "Then what are you doing back here?"

Huo Chi lowered his head and straightened his clothes, then raised his head and cleared his throat and said, "Come back and introduce my boyfriend to you."

The tone was as natural as if he was talking about buying a new pair of sneakers.

Both Huo Zhenlin and Zou Yan looked at him as if he had seen a ghost. Before Huo Zhenlin could speak, Huo Chi said first: "My boyfriend is Qiao Yecheng, who is three years older than me. He is now working in the self-media. I didn’t ask how much I earned, but it’s much more than me anyway.”

Zou Yan frowned, "Huo Chi, you..."

"Mom," Huo Chi raised his voice, "listen to me."

Huo Zhenlin didn't even look at him, and Zou Yan's expression was indescribable. Huo Chi continued: "I have dated a lot of girlfriends before, not because I like dating, nor because I want to find someone I really like."

Huo Zhenlin raised his eyelids to look at him, Huo Chi paused, "Sounds outrageous, doesn't it? But that's what I really think. It's because you guys haven't understood me all this time."

"No one stops you from finding someone you really like." Huo Zhenlin said in a deep voice.

"I found it now," Huo Chi curled his lips, "I haven't been with Qiao Yecheng for a long time, but I like him very much, so I hope you can accept him."

"Impossible," Zou Yan said with a cold face, "You just talked about too many girlfriends, and when you suddenly meet a different one, you think it's true love."

Huo Chi laughed, and he had no other emotions except being helpless, "Mom, to be honest, I'm very annoyed at home, I'm annoyed when you ask me to do this and that, and I'm also annoyed to hear you arguing every day, But Qiao Yecheng and I are very happy together, eating happily, doing dishes happily, traveling happily, and doing nothing happily."

"If it were you, you could only choose one of the two, which one would you choose?"

"...Are you threatening me?" Zou Yan asked.

Huo Chi shook his head, "It's just stating the facts. Thank you for letting me grow up without any worries. But I'm very selfish. If I had to do multiple-choice questions, I wouldn't choose you."

Huo Chi could tell that Zou Yan was no longer angry, but puzzled, disappointed, and chilled.

He also felt very uncomfortable, "Mom, can you stop asking me to do multiple-choice questions."

"Don't call me mom," Zou Yan's voice trembled, "I gave birth to you and raised you up. The relationship of 20 years is not as good as knowing someone for a few months..."

Huo Chi was silent for a while, "I know you love me, but I don't want your love."

Zou Yan stood up abruptly, and said in a broken voice, "Why don't you want it? Our marriage is not in harmony, and we are strict with you, but aren't we doing it for your own good? Isn't it for your future? I put it at my grandparents' house because your dad and I are busy with work, we don't work hard, can you and Huo Ning have such a good life now?"

Zou Yan walked up to him and looked at him with red eyes, "At the end of the day, in exchange for one or two of you who are not talkative, not close to us, and you can run away from home because of a boyfriend... Huo Chi, Have you considered our feelings?"

Huo Chi pursed his lips and lowered his eyes to avoid Zou Yan's gaze. Zou Yan cried and said, "What's the use of making more money? My mother has failed too much. My daughter doesn't like to talk, and my son says he can't." Choose me... I..."

Zou Yan lost control of his emotions. Huo Chi had never seen her cry so sadly. He patted Zou Yan on the shoulder helplessly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Mom, don't cry..."

Zou Yan raised his hand abruptly, and slapped him on the face, "Don't touch me, I'm going to cry! You don't want me anymore, what else do you care about me!"

Huo Chi was hit over the head, and the pain in his heart was much more painful than this slap. It turned out that he was not as cold-blooded as he thought.

Huo Zhenlin got up and handed a tissue to Zou Yan, "Okay, don't cry, I was told not to do anything just now, but you started doing it yourself."

Zou Yan took a look at Huo Chi, and Huo Chi's entire left side blushed, "...Did I push myself hard?"

"No," Huo Chi said calmly, "It doesn't hurt."

Zou Yan wiped away his tears, and said in a low voice, "Take back what you just said, I'll pretend I haven't heard of it."

Huo Chi was silent for a moment, and took a step forward, "Mom, I said that just now because you and my dad are too strong, if I am not stronger than you, the result will be the same as before, I will always be the one who compromises .”

Huo Chi lowered his voice and said sincerely: "I really don't want to choose between you, please grant me once and let me be with the person I like, okay?"

Zou Yan didn't make a sound. Huo Chi didn't choose to confront his parents head-on this time, but kept playing the emotional card, "Dad, Mom, you two have been arguing for half your life, you probably don't want me to be like you in the future, Qiao Yecheng He is a very good-tempered person, gentle and careful, and considers me everywhere. He knows my taste in food and remembers the size of my clothes and shoes. Help me put eye drops, I liked a video casually, he ordered the same takeaway at night, and got up early with me every day in order to supervise me to eat breakfast on time, these small things you can’t do for each other, and you can’t do it for me, but he able."

Probably because it was the first time I saw Huo Chi soft-spoken, and it was also the first time I heard Huo Chi speak his heart so sincerely. Huo Zhenlin had a complicated look on his face, and he calmed down after a while and said, "Huo Chi, you are still young, and the people you met Not much, my marriage with your mother is really not a happy one, don't compare with us, there are many gentle and considerate girls like you said, you don't have to..."

"Other people have nothing to do with me," Huo Chi said, "No matter how gentle or careful you are, you are not Qiao Yecheng. I will come back this time and tell you so much. I sincerely hope that you can accept Qiao Yecheng, but it doesn't matter if you don't accept it. I just love him."

Just as Huo Zhenlin was about to speak, Zou Yan suddenly asked: "Back then...you were not allowed to play e-sports, did you hate us?"

"No hate," Huo Chi said truthfully, "at most it's complaining, not hate."

"Then if I let you break up with Qiao Yecheng, will you hate me?"

Huo Chi was silent for a long time, "...Yes."

Zou Yan took a deep breath, as if he had thought through a lot of things in an instant, "I still don't agree with you finding a boyfriend, but this time I won't interfere with you, you go on the path you choose."

Huo Zhenlin frowned, and said in disbelief, "Zou Yan, what are you talking about?"

Zou Yan glanced at him, "It's up to you to interfere or not. Anyway, I don't want to hear Huo Chi say that he won't choose me anymore. We have been failed parents for 20 years. If you want to continue to fail, don't pull me."

Huo Zhenlin didn't say a word for a while, just as the driver brought back Huo Ning who had just finished school, Huo Ning's eyes lit up when he saw Huo Chi when he entered the door.

Huo Chi turned around and reached out to her, "Come here, long time no see."

Huo Ning threw herself into his arms, looked at his face and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with your face?"

Huo Chi paused, "I'm allergic."

"Ice it on," Zou Yan said, "I'll get it for you..."

"Mom, no need," Huo Chi called to stop Zou Yan, "Tomorrow Saturday, can I take Huo Ning to my place for two days?"

"You now……"

"I'm living with Qiao Yecheng now." Huo Chi said.

"You...ask Huo Ning, Huo Ning can go if he wants."

Huo Ning immediately said "Think".

Huo Chi smiled, "Then I'll take her away? I'll send her back on Sunday night."

Without giving Huo Zhenlin a chance to speak, Huo Chi picked up Huo Ning and strode out, lowering his voice and saying, "Brother will take you back to meet your sister-in-law."

·

Because Huo Chi was going to a dinner party, Qiao Yecheng arranged a live broadcast for himself, but just as the broadcast was about to start, he heard movement outside the door.

Qiao Yecheng came out and looked at the big and small on the sofa in shock.

Before Huo Chi could put down the ice pack in his hand, Qiao Yecheng looked at Huo Chi, then at Huo Ning, and finally chose to ask first, "What's wrong with your face?"

Huo Chi winked at him, "Allergy."

What Qiao Yecheng wanted to say, Huo Chi first introduced: "Ning Ning, this is brother Qiao Yecheng, you know him."

Huo Ning whispered obediently, "Brother Qiao Yecheng."

Qiao Yecheng smiled quickly, approached and said, "Hi Ningning, so cute, our baby Ningning."

Huo Ning smiled lightly, looking very embarrassed.

Huo Chi explained from the side: "I went home today, and it happens to be Saturday tomorrow, and Huo Ning doesn't have to go to school, so I'll take her over to play for two days."

Qiao Yecheng probably understood what was going on with Huo Chi's face. He silently took the ice pack from Huo Chi's hand, "Don't stick it directly on your face. It's too cold. I'll wrap a towel for you."

Huo Chi smiled, "Okay."

He was quite obedient at this time, Qiao Yecheng pinched the right half of his face angrily, why can't he pretend to be obedient and soft in front of his parents.

Huo Chi could see the pain in Qiao Yecheng's eyes, and deliberately joked, "What? Do you think I'm ugly?"

Qiao Yecheng rolled his eyes at him, and said angrily, "It's good that you know, it's so ugly."

He went to the bathroom to get a towel, Huo Chi smiled and asked Huo Ning, "Am I ugly now?"

Huo Ning looked at him for a few seconds, and only said, "The left side of the face is a little bigger."

Huo Chi clicked his tongue and rubbed her head, "You are quite tactful when you are young."

Huo Ning hadn't had dinner yet. Qiao Yecheng originally wanted to take her out to eat delicious food, but Huo Chi's face was still swollen and it was inconvenient to go out, so Qiao Yecheng had to order takeaway, and then sat on the sofa with Huo Ning Watch cartoons.

"Is Ningning hungry? Do you want to eat some snacks to fill your belly?" Qiao Yecheng asked.

Huo Ning looked at Huo Chi inquiringly, and Huo Chi said, "This is not at home, you can eat whatever you want."

"Then I want to eat two jellies." Huo Ning said in a low voice.

It just so happened that Qiao Yecheng bought it casually when he was visiting the supermarket a few days ago. He wanted to help Huo Ning open it, but Huo Chi said, "No, just let her open it by herself. It's amazing."

So Qiao Yecheng handed the jelly to Huo Ning, and said softly: "Then Ningning will open it by herself first, and if she can't open it, let her brother open it."

Huo Ning nodded, and quietly began to eat jelly.

After a while, Qiao Yecheng turned his head to look at Huo Chi, and said in a low voice, "Take your hands away, let me see how your face is doing."

Huo Chi took away the ice pack and turned to show him, "It's okay, the swelling will subside tomorrow."

Qiao Yecheng stretched out his fingertips to touch his face distressedly, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt," Huo Chi said, "This half of my face is so cold that I can't feel it now."

Qiao Yecheng glanced back at Huo Ning. Huo Ning was concentrating on watching the TV. He lowered his voice and asked, "What did you and your uncles and aunts say? How did they agree with you to bring Ning Ning back?"

"I didn't say anything," Huo Chi smiled, "I just praised you."

Qiao Yecheng was shocked, "Praise me? Uncles and aunts haven't agreed with you to talk about boyfriend yet. Why are you praising me?"

"I don't praise you, how do you let them know how good you are?"

Qiao Yecheng half-opened his mouth and said nothing, Huo Chi kissed him quickly, and said softly: "My wife, it was my fault before, I didn't consider your mood, I will bring Huo Ning back to you first. See you, if you have nothing to do next weekend, I will take you to see my grandparents."

Qiao Yecheng didn't know what to say, just because he said a word of guilt, Huo Chi immediately went back to see his parents, said good things about him, and took him to see the most important family members.

He obviously got a slap on the face, but when he came back, he calmly told him that it was all right, wagging his tail and leaned forward to kiss him.

Qiao Yecheng couldn't describe his mood at the moment, it was too complicated. If he had to say it, his only thought at this moment was to hope that the puppy would never regret being with him, and would be happy to him even if he got hurt outside. wagging tail.

This proves that he has lived up to the puppy's trust and love.

·

After dinner, Qiao Yecheng played Lego with Huo Ning. Qiao Yecheng was gentle and patient. He always spoke softly to Huo Ning, and the two played together very quickly.

Huo Chi leaned against the door and watched quietly for a while, feeling calm and at ease in his heart. Qiao Yecheng raised his head as if feeling something, "What's wrong? What are you doing standing there?"

Huo Chi smiled, "You two are playing, I'm going to broadcast live."

Qiao Yecheng made an "OK" gesture, "You prepare some fruit and warm water yourself."

"it is good."

Huo Chi had been live broadcasting for more than two hours. Qiao Yecheng accompanied Huo Ning to wash up. After watching her fall asleep, she quietly came to the study to find Huo Chi.

Huo Chi just started a game and glanced at him distractedly. Qiao Yecheng walked behind Huo Chi, hugged him from behind, and put his chin on his shoulder.

"Turn off the mic for this round." After Huo Chi finished speaking, he turned off the mic, "Is she asleep?"

"Well," Qiao Yecheng nodded, "Ningning is so obedient, she chose a little rabbit and hugged her to sleep."

He kissed Huo Chi on the left cheek, "Is it better?"

Huo Chi touched his face with his hand back, "Don't feel bad, I don't feel it anymore."

Qiao Yecheng rubbed his shoulder and said in a low voice, "Thank you tiger egg."

Huo Chi smiled, "Thank you, I have to thank my wife, otherwise I didn't know my mother would let go."

"What do you mean? Auntie agrees?"

While killing people, Huo Chi said: "She said that she doesn't care about me, and I can do whatever I like, and when I have a chance in the future, I will work as my father. He is more stubborn than my mother, so it may not be easy to accept. "

"Take it easy," Qiao Yecheng leaned on his shoulder, "Whether uncles and aunts agree or not, if you want, you can go back and see them when you have time, don't be angry, but don't get beaten again, my heart aches kill me..."

"Okay, I promise you won't get beaten."

The two of them didn't speak any more, they snuggled together quietly. After a while, Huo Chi suddenly asked: "Are you afraid that I will regret it in the future? Regret that I broke up with my family because of you and love."

Qiao Yecheng didn't deny it, "When you were young and frivolous, you might think it's nothing. After a few years, you might change your mind, and you'll feel that it's not worth fighting with your family like this."

Huo Chi took the time to glance at him, "How old are you with this tone? Weren't you young and frivolous?"

Qiao Yecheng smiled, "At least I'm three years older than you, not as young as you, and not as frivolous as you."

After Huo Chi played this round, he played the live broadcast, moved his wrist, Qiao Yecheng held his wrist and gently rubbed it for him, "Playing games is too useless, if you feel uncomfortable, just move yourself, don't It’s been one pose for a long time.”

"Well, you're here."

"What's the use of me? I can't fight for you."

"You remind me."

Huo Chi stared at Qiao Yecheng's hand for a while, then suddenly asked, "Honey, do you like Ningning?"

"I like it," Qiao Yecheng said immediately, "Ningning is obedient and cute, her personality is completely different from yours."

Huo Chi clicked his tongue, "What do you mean?"

Qiao Yecheng couldn't help laughing, "It's just to lament that you two have too many different personalities, there's no other meaning."

Huo Chi held Qiao Yecheng's hand instead, "When I stood there looking at you two just now, I felt like we are a family of three now."

Qiao Yecheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's quite similar."

Huo Chi squeezed his finger, "Then let me buy you a ring."

This time Qiao Yecheng was completely stunned, and it took a long time before he said: "... Is there any causal relationship?"

Huo Chi turned the chair half a circle, and hugged the man to his lap, "There are three members of the family, why is there no causal relationship?"

Qiao Yecheng looked into Huo Chi's eyes, "Are you serious?"

Huo Chi said in a deep voice, "I can't be serious anymore, I'll go buy it tomorrow."

Qiao Yecheng kissed him on the lips and asked in a low voice, "Is it my 24th birthday present?"

Huo Chi clasped the back of his neck and kissed him, "Birthday presents are not included, this is just I love you."

Qiao Yecheng pushed him, trying to finish speaking, "What..."

Huo Chi smiled and sucked his lower lip, "Love you can't just be said with words, you have to be more practical."
