After several years, when Jing Li stepped into the door of the Huo family again, she was still somewhat sentimental and a little embarrassed.

This home once gave her shelter and warmth, but in the end she fled in embarrassment due to her own reasons, which was really a bit embarrassing.

Fortunately, Mu Qian is as enthusiastic and warm as before, Huo Jinxi is kind even though he doesn't talk much, and Yueyue is quite different from what she remembers. After all, she is already a 17-year-old girl with amazing traits inherited from her parents.

She is beautiful, but also a little arrogant and willful, but when it comes to her, it is really "arrogant and charming".

As for Huo Qiran, he is not at home.

Jing Li couldn't tell whether she should be happy or unhappy when she couldn't see him. On the other hand, Stewart, a "third party" who was pursuing someone else's wife, behaved so elegantly, and he and Huo Jinxi also had a lively conversation.

.

Although she had witnessed many of Stewart's famous scenes, at this moment, Jing Li still felt deeply impressed.

Yueyue seemed to be very curious about her return to Tongcheng this time. She asked her again and again, and then asked her: "Sister Jingli, you mean that after helping to complete this writing task, you are leaving again? Leave."

Will you come back later? Or do you plan to settle abroad?"

Jing Li thought for a while and then said: "Xi Xi and her mother have adapted to the pace of life abroad now and are living well. I still want to spend more time with them."

"Then you won't come back?" Yueyue curled her lips for some reason, looking vaguely unhappy.

Jing Li couldn't figure out the girl's intentions and thoughts, and she didn't dare to provoke her too much. Who knew that Yueyue was chatting happily with Brayden again, and the girl was straight forward, gossiping about Brayden and Jing Li's relationship.

.

Brayden was naturally happy to answer this question. As soon as he heard it, he immediately put his arms around Jing Li's shoulders, "Of course I love her, very much!"

Yueyue immediately looked at Jing Li again, "Where are you, sister Jing Li? Do you love him too?"

Just as Jing Li was about to pull away Brayden's hand, there was sudden movement at the gate over there. Everyone turned their heads and saw Huo Qiran who had just entered.

"My son is back?" Mu Qian immediately looked at him with a smile, "Come and say hello to the guests."

Huo Qiran walked forward slowly, his eyes fell on Brayden's hand on Jing Li's shoulder, and stayed there for a while before looking at Jing Li's face again.

Jing Li was originally going to push Brayden away, but the moment Huo Qiran looked over, she suddenly gave up the idea.

Instead, she just bumped Brayden gently with her elbow, which made the gesture between the two people even more intimate.

Huo Qiran saw this scene in his eyes, and Yue Yue also saw it in his eyes, but the next moment, she didn't know why she raised her head and glared at Huo Qiran.

Huo Qiran didn't realize it at all. He walked forward, opened the empty seat next to Yueyue, and sat down opposite Jingli and Brayden.

"Have you just gotten off work?" Jing Li asked him, "Are you always this late every day?"

Huo Qiran just shook his head slightly, but did not speak.

Yueyue explained on her behalf: "My brother lost his voice. He coughs like that and still eats spicy food. He really deserves it!"

Hearing these words, Jing Li lowered her head instantly. After a while, she raised her eyes again and looked at Huo Qiran.

He couldn't make a sound, so he didn't participate in everyone's chat. Most of the time, he just listened and his eyes wandered between the few people talking.

When he met Jingli's eyes again, Brayden came over again and whispered something in Jingli's ear.

Jing Li listened attentively, occasionally smiled and responded to him in a low voice.

Every move made it clear that the two of them were very close, at least, much closer than his old classmate.

After dinner, Brayden, who graduated with a major in architecture, was very interested in the mansion designed by Huo Jinxi himself. Because Huo Qiran could not speak out, the task of showing him around fell on Yueyue.

Even though Yueyue was not very happy, she still did the basic courtesy and led Brayden back and forth, up and down.

Huo Qiran and Jing Li were accompanying them. Jing Li followed Yueyue and Brayden very hard, but Huo Qiran fell at the end not too far away and followed silently.

After walking around the underground space, Yueyue and Brayden continued to visit, but Jingli was attracted by the sunken book collection area, which was comparable to a medium-sized library, and stopped.

Huo Qiran took her to visit a few years ago. She remembered that at that time, there was no such book collection area.

When Jing Li was stopping to linger, her phone suddenly rang. She took out her phone and saw a message from Huo Qiran: "It was newly renovated two years ago."

Jing Li turned around and saw Huo Qiran standing behind her, and smiled slightly, "No wonder, before I remembered that the study room on the second floor was almost full. There is indeed a need for such a book collection area... It is simply an ideal in the world."

"If you like, you can come over anytime." Huo Qiran sent her another message.

After hearing this, Jing Li just chuckled and did not answer.

She looked at the row of books in front of her seriously, couldn't help but take out one, opened it and started reading.

Huo Qiran was standing nearby, but his thoughts were not here at all.

I don’t know how long it took, but Jing Li’s cell phone rang again.

She closed the book in her hand and paused slightly when she saw the message on her phone.

"Yesterday I asked you if Brayden was your boyfriend, but you haven't answered me yet."

Jing Li slowly raised her head, looked at him, and suddenly laughed again, "If I say yes, will you be happy for me?"

Facing her gaze, Huo Qiran was quiet for a few seconds before finally lowering his head and typing the next line on his phone:

"If you like it, of course."

Jing Li just laughed after hearing this, but did not answer him any more about this question.

It seemed that he had acquiesced in the relationship between her and Brayden, which was quite good.

At least she and him will no longer suffer from some unnecessary emotional troubles. Perhaps, they can truly go back to their past and become good friends again.

Jing Li flipped through the book in her hand and became fascinated as she read it. She sat down nearby and prepared to continue reading.

Huo Qiran kept coughing, probably thinking that being here would affect her, so he suddenly stood up and left.

Jing Li noticed his movement and raised her head to watch his figure disappear. After a moment, she lowered her head again and continued reading.

But not long after, someone sat down next to her again. Jing Li turned her head and saw Huo Qiran who had left and returned.

There was a thermos cup in his left hand, probably some kind of medicine, but he held something in his right hand and stretched it out towards her.

Jing Li was startled and couldn't help but reach out to pick it up.
