Chapter 54 - Meeting Ding Qiuyue (2) (2/2)
She hesitated for a little bit and picked up the phone.
Just when she was about to ask whether he was in class, Huo Chengming had beaten her to speaking first. His voice came pouring out of the phone, “Huanhuan, where are you?”
“Mm, I just left the restaurant. It’s Shiwei Xuan, the one that we have been to before.”
“Stay there… unless you want to start walking toward the school’s direction…”
Zhong Yuhuan suddenly realized what he was doing, “Are you coming to look for me?”
“Mm,” said Huo Chengming before he hung up the phone.
Zhong Yuhuan looked around and saw a coffee shop nearby.
She couldn’t possibly just stand in the middle of the street and wait. She thought about it for a second and walked inside the coffee shop.
Zhong Yuhuan didn’t have to wait very long. It had only been 10 minutes before she saw Huo Chengming. She had barely drank a few sips of her coffee.
Since Zhong Yuhuan hadn’t had dinner yet, the few sips of coffee started giving her an upset stomach.
She rubbed her stomach as she walked outside of the coffee shop slowly.
Huo Chengming was just about to call Zhong Yuhuan when he turned and saw her.
He had grown much taller than he was before and he ran in front of her in just few steps. He panted and asked in a low voice, “No dinner?”
She shook her head, “No dinner.”
“Was the food bad?”
Zhong Yuhuan shook her head.
Huo Chengming pursed his lips. His tall body towering her like a giant tree. “Did she say something bad?” asked Huo Chengming.
Zhong Yuhuan tugged on his sleeve, “Chengming-ge ge, my stomach hurts.”
Huo Chengming looked concerned immediately. He turned around and has his back to her, squatted down, and said, “I’ll carry you. Let’s go get some porridge for dinner.”
Zhong Yuhuan climbed onto his back slowly and wrapped her arms around his neck before she started talking slowly, “My aunty asked me today whether you and Li Jinyuan were the ones that I have adopted…”
Huo Chengming let out a small grunt to indicate that he was listening.
