Chapter 149: A real and hardcore Man (1)

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

After a brief inquiry of the whole story, Yu Qinghuan called Huo Rong first and told him that he had found Huo Qu, asking him not to worry.

Then, he took Huo Qu to sit in a corner to have some rest first.

During this whole process, Huo Qu always hung his head down and his lips tightly clamped, like a wounded deer. Again his heart was filled with resistance to the whole outside world.

Yu Qinghuan did not rush to comfort him, but opened the heat preservation barrel, took out two spoons from the interlayer, and handed one to Huo Qu, “Come on, eat some soup.”

The heat preservation barrel was of good quality. After such a long time, the soup inside was still steaming and smelled very sweet and delicious.

Huo Qu lost himself, but still tightly holding the heat preservation barrel. Thinking of that, Yu Qinghuan felt slight warmness in the chest. He bowed his head and scooped a spoonful of soup and fed into his mouth, only feeling his whole being was refreshed from head to foot.

“Have a taste, it’s really delicious.” Seeing Huo Qu holding the spoon still, Yu Qinghuan leaned towards him, and scooped up half a spoon of soup and moved it by Huo Qu’s mouth, “Open your mouth.”

The word ‘delicious’ finally brought back Huo Qu’s sanity. He hesitantly opened his mouth and took a sip of the soup in the spoon.

“Good, right? I’m not lying to you.” Yu Qinghuan smiled at him, “Did your second brother take you to buy it?”

Huo Qu shook his head, “No, my mother made it for me.”

Yu Qinghuan nearly dropped the spoon on the ground when he heard this.

This was actually made by Mrs. Huo? He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and wondered how Huo Qu convinced his mom. When his sights fell on Huo Qu’s bloomy face, he immediately threw those topsy-turvy thoughts out of his head.

The most important thing he had to do now was to help Huo Qu reestablish his confidence to communicate with strangers. He took so much pain to get there and he could not retreat.

At the thought of that, Yu Qinghuan measured his words carefully and said, “Huo Qu, there is part of your own problem failing to borrow a phone, you know...”

As soon as he had finished saying this, he saw Huo Qu’s expression of “it really was” and immediately went on to say, “However, it was more of other’s reason.”

Huo Qu looked at him in bewilderment, “Other people’s reason?”

Yu Qinghuan nodded, “They refused you, probably because they had to board the plane in a hurry, for fear that they would be too late. Or because their cell phones really ran out of power.”

What Qinghuan said seemed quite reasonable. Huo Qu clenched his fingers and thought for a moment before he asked in a low voice, “Then, what was my reason?”

“Ah, you,” Yu Qinghuan said with a smile, “Your reason was that you didn’t tell them why you wanted to use their cell phone.”
