Yu Xiuxiu studied the pattern for a long time, and suddenly turned his face and found that Huo Zhongnan looked at him with a lonely and dull look, with an indescribable melancholy, and it was particularly touching.

She felt aroused in her heart, as if she was crawling by a caterpillar. She couldn't help but itch. Without thinking too much, she rubbed her toes and kissed her on the cheek.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

The girl's soft voice and warm touch all fell on her face.

Huo Zhongnan felt a burning burning on his cheek.

After a moment, he said, "My mother is a study of ancient characters."

"Ancient characters?" Yu Xiuxiu looked back at the carvings on the pillar, his eyes full of surprise: "You mean, are these all ancient characters? Why haven't I seen them before?"

Huo Zhongnan flirted with her and didn't say anything.

Yu Xiuxiu said "uh", feeling that he looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot.

She chuckled softly, as innocent as a child, "Brother, don't despise it! I really don't understand."

Huo Zhongnan said: "There are many words that have existed in history, but many ancient words have disappeared, and no documents have been preserved, and some of them cannot even be traced."

Yu Xiuxiu nodded in a vague way, looking sad, "What do the words engraved on it mean? Do you know?"

Huo Zhongnan glanced at the pillar: "This is a pattern used by a nation in ancient times to worship gods and pray for blessings, and it is also their words."

Pray for blessings and worship God?

Yu Xiuxiu's eyes were filled with worship.

"Brother, you know so much. Your mother is amazing. She is good at doing business and has such extensive knowledge. I, a poor student... I feel ashamed."

Huo Zhongnan did not respond, but looked at the pillars with a look that Yu Xiuxiu couldn't understand. His eyes were deep and dark, and his standing movement was upright and stiff, and he had not moved for a long time.

Yu Xiuxiu only knows Huo Zhongnan's mother as the "former president of Sheng Tian". He knows almost nothing except his name.

"elder brother!"

She pulled him gently.

"Can I take a picture? These words, this wooden house?"

"Yes." Huo Zhongnan looked down at her and suddenly smiled, "She can't do business."

"Uh?" Yu Xiuxiu was stunned for two seconds before he realized that he was talking about his mother, the legendary former president of Sheng Tian, ​​Huo Yuke.

Yu Xiuxiu breathed in: "It would be even more amazing if you can't do business and run the company so well. Great, it's amazing."

"It's my father." Huo Zhongnan gently stroked the pillar, as if he was touching his parents' body temperature through those strange and difficult words. "The company is managed by his father. Mother..." He said slowly: "Her interests are not in the company."

"oh."

Yu Xiuxiu probably understood.

There is a capable husband at home, and most women are not willing to work hard in the mall, right? Huo’s mother’s interest may be to study these ancient characters, which made Huo Zhongnan want to build this small wooden house to mourn after her death.

Yu Xiuxiu did not bring a camera, but the pixels of the phone were enough to support her to take pictures of this beautiful building with a good texture.

Upstairs and downstairs, inside and outside the house, she took dozens of photos in one go, then ran to the sun, looked at the light, and carefully selected and processed it.

"So beautiful! So beautiful. An architectural miracle!"

Huo Zhongnan frowned as she watched her talk to herself seriously.

"What do you do when you shoot it?"

Yu Xiuxiu looked up and said with a smile: "See memorable."

Huo Zhongnan said: "What kind of memorials are left? You can come at any time."

Yu Xiuxiu blinked, "I want to share it with my friends."

After saying that, she turned around and pulled out Nan Yan's WeChat and sent a shocked expression, "Nan Shen Nan Shen! I discovered an amazing architectural aesthetic wonder. I must share it with you."

The last time she and Nan Yan chatted was a long time ago.

However, when Yu Xiuxiu saw this good thing, the person he wanted to share for the first time was Nan Yan.

Beep!

Huo Zhongnan's cell phone rang.

He was stunned, picked up his cell phone and glanced at it, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Sorry, there is something wrong with the company, make a call."

After saying that, he nodded to Yu Xiuxiu and walked out of the door.

Yu Xiuxiu leaned on the balcony, looked at his back, and continued to send a message to Nan Yan.

"Nan Shen, you have time to look at this, and then tell me, just whether my vision is poisonous or not. Although this is a building hidden in the mountains and an unknown designer, I think this design level is simply a national treasure level, no, world-class... It's just a little worse than you."

Yu Xiuxiu made a message and was about to send a picture to him, but Nan Yan replied.

"have a look."

"Ha!" Yu Xiuxiu smiled and sent the photos he had just picked one by one, and then looked anxious to get praise.

"How is it? Is it beautiful?"

"beautiful!"

“…”

Yu Xiuxiu was stunned and laughed.

"Please, the picture is still transmitting! The signal in the mountains is not very good. Nan Shen, can you not be so humorous? It's scary!"

Nan Yan: "Believe in your vision."

"Haha, because I'm your fan?"

"Maybe."

"Why are your words so concise?"

Nan Yan: "Or?"

Yu Xiuxiu glanced at the door of the cabin and said in a pronunciation: "The same is true for a guy I know. Hahaha, he is a dull man. I've been guessing what he is thinking all day long. Are you tired?"

After a moment, Nan Yan replied.

"I received the picture and the building is very good, but I lack popularity."

"Popularity?" Yu Xiuxiu was slightly stunned and looked at the quiet forest. "This place is originally in the mountains, and it is not a tourist area. It has no population. Where does it come from popularity?"

"The house is for living. Popularity is spiritual energy. This house is beautiful, but it has no temperature. It is not for living in it, it is as if it is a sacrifice."

“…”

Yu Xiuxiu looked at the screen in shock and couldn't send a message for a long time.

This evaluation was given by Nan Yan looking at the photo. Yu Xiuxiu had never reminded him anything. Now that he thought about his words carefully, Yu Xiuxiu actually felt that it made sense.

"Nan Shen, I feel sorry for your understanding of architecture and design. I must ask you for advice when you have time."

"【Smile】"

Seeing this smiling expression appear, Yu Xiuxiu almost knelt down.

Are all men who talk less like this kind of old cadres’ style?

She sent him an emoticon pack of "You can go proud" and without waiting for a reply, she walked out.

Huo Zhongnan just put away his cell phone and turned around and crashed into Yu Xiuxiu's eyes.

"Are you okay?" Yu Xiuxiu asked with a smile.

"Yes." Huo Zhongnan narrowed his eyes, "Do you want to see something else?"

Yu Xiuxiu sucked the clear air that belonged to the mountains and asked with a smile: "If someone said that your house does not look like a place where people live, but like a sacrifice, would you be angry?"

Huo Zhongnan thought for a while, "No."

Yu Xiuxiu was surprised: "Why?"

Huo Zhongnan raised his eyebrows slightly, put his hands in his pocket, and kicked the stone rolling into the middle of the road with his toes. After a while, he slowly opened his mouth.

“He was right.”

“Uh~”

"It's not for living, it's just a sacrifice."

He said something similar to Nan Yan, which shocked Yu Xiuxiu. "But-" She turned around, looked at the small wooden house in the sun, slowly raised her head, and her eyes fixed on the window.

"Why should such a beautiful house be a sacrifice? What a pity."

"You want to live?"

"I think!" Yu Xiuxiu smiled, his eyes bent, and then pointed to the large wasteland beside the wooden house. "If I live, I will cultivate this place and plant fruits, vegetables, flowers and trees to make it lively. It is popular and there is smoke from cooking. Well, it will be like a paradise."

Huo Zhongnan narrowed his eyes and looked at him for a while.

“It’s very optimistic.”

Yu Xiuxiu said: "Isn't this good?"
