The Downfall of the Eldest Miss - Chapter 18
Shen Wanying thought that only elementary school students or Fang Yichang would have a secret base. +++Kartino Novel Network www.mtlnovel.com did not expect that such an unsmiling person like Huocheng would have a secret base?
“Secret base? Where is it?” Shen Wanying always felt Huo Cheng was accusing her.
Huo Chengdao: “Since it is a secret base, of course it must be kept secret.”
“…” Logic ghost, “Okay, but I have to tell my mother first, and she agrees.”
“Ok.”
“Then I will send you a message at night.”
“Okay.” Huo Cheng nodded and handed her the microphone again. “Aren’t you singing?”
“…” Shen Wanying took the microphone and went to order a few songs.
In order to avoid her mother’s doubts, she usually only stays for half an hour in KTV before returning home. I couldn’t sing a few songs in half an hour. In addition to complaining with Huo Cheng today, which took up half of the time, Shen Wanying finally sang only three songs.
“Don’t you sing?” Huo Cheng asked her.
Shen Wanying shook her head: “My mother will doubt it when I go back too late.”
Huo Cheng lowered his eyes as if thinking about something for a while, then stood up and said: “Let’s go now.”
“Uh…” Shen Wanying hesitated, “Let’s go away, I can’t recognize it by someone else, but with them, maybe they will be recognized.”
Her concerns are not unreasonable, Huo Cheng also cooperated very well: “Then you go first, I still follow you behind.”
“…Okay, would you like to sing a song? I’ve set an hour for this private room.”
“No, you go first.”
“Oh…” Shen Wanying put her hat on her head, looked at Huo Cheng again, and walked out of the private room.
She was the dessert shop returning from the same way, and all the way she wanted to look back to see if Huo Cheng was behind her, but she still held back. When she arrived at the dessert shop, she first removed her makeup in the bathroom and took off her wig before changing back to her school uniform.
When she came out of the bathroom, she was the elegant and dignified Miss Shen again.
She walked out of the room and saw Huo Cheng standing in front of the counter of the dessert shop, carrying a small packaged dessert in her hand.
Shen Wanying walked over and Huo Cheng handed her the dessert: “This is for you.”
“Thank you.” Shen Wanying glanced down at the photo of the sweet orange jelly mousse in the store. “This dessert is delicious. Would you like to try it?”
Huo Chengdao: “This is for you.”
Shen Wanying took a look at the dessert, walked to an empty table, put down the dessert, and opened the box: “Let’s finish here before we go.”
Huo Cheng froze for a moment, then nodded and sat down opposite Shen Wanying.
Shen Wanying took a spoon and scooped a spoonful of cake into her mouth, and happily (hooked) the corner of her mouth: “This is really delicious, and there is a matcha layer, you can try it next time.”
“Huh.” Huo Cheng also took a spoon and tasted it, and the rich sweet orange flavor instantly filled his mouth. He doesn’t really like dessert, but the taste of this cake reminds him of the orange grove he walked through with Shen Wanying.
The oranges there also exude such a sweet smell.
The boss stood in front of the counter, looking at Huo Cheng and Shen Wanying while organizing things. After a while, he sent a message to Shen Wanying’s aunt: “Your dacha seems to be in love.”
Soon, the other party sent him a reply: “? Who is the target?! What background? You help me to find out the 18 generations of his ancestors.”
boss︰”……”
After a few seconds, she added: “A generation can’t be less.”
boss︰”……”
Shen Wanying and Huo Cheng finished the cake and walked out of the dessert shop together. As Shen Wanying said, the boss had already helped her order the car, and the car drove over as soon as they went out. Shen Wanying carried the schoolbag in her hand and looked at Huo Cheng: “How are you going? Or I’ll take you back first.”
“No, you go first, I will call the car myself.”
“Well… that’s fine.” She finished getting in the car and closed the door. She looked up at Huocheng again. “I’ll send you a message at night.”
“Okay.” Huo Cheng helped her close the door and watched her car leave.
Shen Wanying arrived home today later than before, but Jiang Yu did not doubt anything. After all, the meeting had its own advantages and disadvantages. After changing her home clothes, Shen Wanying came downstairs and walked to Jiang Yu and called her: “Mom, I have something to tell you.”
“Huh.” Jiang Yu looked at her, “What’s the matter?”
Shen Wanying said: “Tomorrow students asked me to study together, can I go out?”
Jiang Yu thought about it, and he seemed reluctant: “You still have speaking class tomorrow, what kind of classmate asked you? Zhao Yimeng?”
Shen Wanying originally wanted to use Zhao Yimeng as an excuse, but she realized that Jiang Yu did not agree, and finally chose to tell the truth: “No, it is Huo Cheng.”
“Huo City?” Jiang Yu seemed to be a little surprised, but he nodded again quickly. “Yes, your speaking class will be tomorrow afternoon, you and he will meet him in the morning.”
Shen Wanying was slightly surprised, she did not expect her mother to agree so readily: “Okay.”
“Is there anything else?”
“No more.”
“Then you should study with Huo Cheng tomorrow. If you don’t understand anything, please consult him.”
“Got it, mom.”
After dinner, Shen Wanying took a shower and sent Huo Cheng a message: “My mother agreed, and I can go out tomorrow morning.”
Huo Cheng seconds back the message: “Okay, I will pick you up at your house tomorrow.”
Shen Wanying: Will it be too much trouble? You send it to me, and I ask the driver to send me over.
After sending this news, she thought about it and chased her home again: “Doesn’t anyone think that’s not secret?”
Huo Cheng laughed over the phone and replied to her: “Well.”
Shen Wanying: Well, I believe you should not sell me ^_^
Huocheng: I am not willing
Shen Wanying blushed and put her phone aside.
Her heartbeat hadn’t recovered, and the phone on the table rang again. Shen Wanying seemed to compete with whom, staring at the phone for a while before taking it over.
Huo Cheng: At 8:30 tomorrow morning, I will be waiting for you at your door, is it okay?
Shen Wanying: Okay
Huo Cheng: See you tomorrow
Shen Wanying: See you tomorrow ^_^
After finishing the news with Huo Cheng, Shen Wanying’s emotions have been a little overwhelming. She made a set of math papers, but none of them alleviated this overwhelming.
At night (sleeping Shui), when she thought of going out with Huocheng tomorrow, her heartbeat would be faster.
He even started thinking about what clothes to wear tomorrow.
Realizing this, she patted her face and warned herself: “Shen Wanying, don’t be cranky.”
This kind of self-hypnosis didn’t play a big role, but as time went by, she finally slowly (sleeping Shui) passed.
In the morning, the family sat in the restaurant and had breakfast. Jiang Yu wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue and asked Shen Wanying: “What time did you and Huo Cheng make an appointment?”
Shen Wanying said: “At half past eight, he said he would pick me up.”
Shen Qian’s eyebrows jumped unconsciously. He looked at Shen Wanying and said to her, “I will send you out later.”
“it is good.”
At 8:25, Huo Cheng sent a message to Shen Wanying that he had arrived.
After receiving the news, Shen Wanying told Shen Qian: “Dad, Huo Cheng is already outside the door.”
“Good.” Shen Qian stood up from the sofa and walked out with Shen Wanying.
Huo’s car was parked outside the street door, Huo Cheng did not sit in the car, but stood straight beside the car. When Shen Qian saw him last time, he was still a 10-year-old Maotou, and now he is still a Maotou, but Huo Cheng, 17, is obviously growing up a lot.
Shen Qian knew that Huo Cheng’s (sexuality) was calmer than the average student, but when he saw him later, he felt he was more mature than he thought. The cool and calm temperament exuded from him is also more than that of elites who enter and exit high-grade office buildings.
Worthy of being a child educated by Huo.
“Uncle Shen.” Huo Cheng saw Shen Qian coming out with Shen Wanying. He first politely greeted Shen Qian. “The last snack you gave was delicious. Thank you.”
Shen Qian said with a smile: “That was all prepared by Jiang Yu, and I’m still worried that you don’t like it.”
“I like it very much.”
“That’s good.” Shen Qian found that Huo Cheng’s child looked dull, but in fact it was still pleasing. “That’s a thank you from us. Thank you for helping Wan Ying last time.”
“Yes.”
Shen Wanying waited for the two of them to finish the conversation, and then smiled to Shen Qian: “Dad, then I will go first.”
“Okay, be careful on the road.” Shen Qian finished, and didn’t continue to hide his face outside, turned around and went back. Huo Cheng put his eyes on Shen Wanying.
She didn’t wear a school uniform today, but put on a long brick red (color) dress with a white (color) sweater outside. At the mouth of the sweater (chest xiong), there is also a delicate vintage (chest xiong) needle.
Her hair was still half ponytailed as usual, and there was a simple head flower on the ponytail.
“What’s wrong?” Shen Wanying looked at Huo Cheng and asked.
Huo Cheng shook his head and opened the car door for her: “Let’s go.”
“Okay.” Shen Wanying carried the student bag in her hand and sat in the back seat.
Huo Cheng got on the car from the other side after she got on the bus.
The car drove all the way outside the city. Although Shen Wanying was curious, she didn’t ask anything on the road. Huo Cheng said to her on the way: “Slightly far away, it will take more than an hour to arrive.”
“Oh…” It’s really far away, “You wouldn’t really want to sell me?”
Huo Cheng smiled and found some snacks from the car for her: “This is what I asked my aunt to prepare for me last night. If you are bored, you can eat something.”
Shen Wanying didn’t expect that Huo Cheng had prepared her snacks carefully, many of which she didn’t normally have the opportunity to eat: “Can I nibble on the seeds?”
“Huh.” Huo Cheng helped her take out the seeds and handed her the garbage bag from the car.
“Thank you.” Shen Wanying unpacked and really nibbled melon seeds in the car.
She is now so unburdened in front of Huocheng!
Shen Wanying felt that she was not upset, but could not let go of the seeds.
She really has almost no chance to nibble seeds at ordinary times. Even if the family will prepare these (dry gan) goods in the New Year, she will not dare to eat them in front of her mother.
Huo Cheng saw that she was nibbling on the seeds, and unconsciously (gougou) her lips. In his last life, after he broke her and hid in the debris room to eat instant noodles, she gradually let herself go in front of herself.
It may be suppressed for too long. She likes to eat some food that is not elegant, such as instant noodles, melon seeds, crayfish, and crayfish must be accompanied by beer.
With snacks, the time on the road became much faster. The car drove for more than an hour and arrived at a villa built in the middle of the mountain.
“It’s here.” Huo Cheng and Shen Wanying got out of the car and looked at the villa in front of them. “This is a villa that my father bought. When my mother was ill, she recuperated here for half a year.”
Shen Wanying was stunned and looked around. Because it is halfway up the mountain, the scenery here is beautiful, quiet and pleasant, and the air is much cleaner than in the city. It is indeed a good place to recuperate.
“Here is the secret base you said?”
“Well.” Huo Cheng nodded. “When my mother was sick, I was still in elementary school. I can’t see her every day. I can only take my dad’s car every weekend and come here to meet her.”
Shen Wanying’s mouth moved. Want to say you must miss her mother? Can’t ask again.
“Let’s go in.” Huo Cheng looked at her. “Although I haven’t been here for a long time, the housekeeper has been taking care of the villa, which is very dry.”
“Well.” Shen Wanying nodded and walked into the villa with Huo Cheng.
The butler seemed to know that they would come and had opened the door, waiting outside the door: “Master Huocheng, you are back.”
“Well, this is my classmate, Shen Wanying.”
The butler looked at Shen Wanying and smiled at her: “Miss Shen, please come in.”
“I’m bothered.” Shen Wanying said as she walked in with Huo Cheng.
“What do you want to drink? There are black tea, cow (milk Nai) and orange juice at home.” The butler stood aside and asked them.
Huo Cheng asked Shen Wanying: “Do you want to drink something?”
Shen Wanying said: “I don’t need it for now, thank you.”
The butler looked at Huo Cheng and saw that he was nothing to drink, he said: “Then do you have any orders, please call me at any time.”
“Huh.” Huo Cheng answered, looking at Shen Wanying. “Let’s go upstairs.”
“it is good.”
This villa has an elevator. Shen Wanying and Huo Cheng went to the third floor room.
“My mother used to live in this room.” Huo Cheng looked around the room. “It’s the same as I thought.”
This room is very large. In addition to a bed, there are several rows of bookshelves and a desk. A total of three windows were opened in the room, both of which were directed towards the garden of the villa, with a good view.
There are still several easels standing in front of the window, it seems that people used to stand here to paint. Some oil paintings are neatly stacked on the wall under the window, most of them are carefully covered with white (color) cloth.
In the remaining paintings, Shen Wanying glanced at the oil painting with orange trees.
It turned out that Huocheng had courier it here.
“Every time I came when I was a kid, I came here to find my mother.” Huo Cheng walked to the bookshelf and looked at the books on it. “Sometimes she will read with me, sometimes she will teach me to paint.”
He said that he was taking the next book from the bookshelf. It was the “Veil” he had read in the reading room before: “This book is like my father and I gave it to her. When I came over several times, my mother’s bed This book is on his head.”
He said that he gently opened the cover of the book, and there was a sentence on the title page of the book-Don’t uncover this mysterious veil.
Shen Wanying stood at the end of the bookshelf and listened to Huo Cheng talking about his mother. Finally, she violated her mother’s usual education and opened an inquiry with Huo Cheng: “I heard from you before that your mother’s illness has been cured. Then, how did she pass away?”
Huo Cheng slightly pursed his lips, put the book in his hand back, and said to Shen Wanying: “My mother has been sick for half a year here, and her body has slowly recovered. At that time, my father told I, wait for my summer vacation, my mother can go home and live. I am very happy, I can finally see my mother every day. But before I put on the summer vacation and want to pick up my mother home, she suddenly had a car accident.”
Shen Wanying was shocked: “Car accident? Is it an accident?”
“Well.” Huo Cheng almost nodded, “It is said that my mother (she) has just recovered and is not suitable for driving. She should be a little uncomfortable in the middle, which eventually caused an accident.”
Shen Wanying didn’t speak anymore. She knew that any words of comfort at this time would be pale. Huo Cheng walked to her and changed a light topic: “Do you want to see the oil painting I drew at that time?”
“Okay.” Shen Wanying smiled at him.
Huo Cheng’s childhood paintings were all packed with her mother’s stuff. He asked the housekeeper and took a cardboard box out of the cabinet and opened it.
There were indeed a lot of Mobao from his childhood. Huo Cheng is not as talented as his mother in painting, but the children have a lot of imagination, so most of his paintings seem to be empty, with the texture of oil painting, but they seem a bit advanced.
“You are the impressionist painting method.” Shen Wanying looked at a picture of the garden painted by Huo Cheng and spoke to him humorously.
Huo Cheng smiled himself and reached for another painting.
As he bent down, he saw something flashing under the box.
He puzzledly removed a painting on the face and found a lighter in the corner of the box.
This is a very common lighter, that is, a plastic lighter that can be bought everywhere on roadside stalls. The fuselage looks very old, with obvious signs of use.
Huo Cheng frowned slightly and took out the lighter.
This is obviously not his dad’s lighter. Although he rarely sees his dad smoking, but he has seen the lighter on him, it is a very high-end brand-name goods.
This is also impossible for his mother, because his mother does not smoke.
So why is there a cheap lighter here?
He turned the lighter over and found several daisies printed on the back of the lighter.
Huo Cheng looked at these daisies and thought of something faintly.
After returning to China in his previous life, he went to worship her on his mother’s death day. At that time, he also saw a bunch of daisies in front of her grave.
