Chapter 8: I’m Gonna Call You Tonight(2)

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

He only took a few steps, and Huo Qu caught him up like a wind.

Yu Qinghuan asked, “Anything else?”

“Here!” With his ears covered by his hair blushed a bit, Huo Qu passed on a white name card to Yu Qinghuan, and said while using sign language, “It...my name card.”

“Thanks.” Yu Qinghuan took it, looking a little surprised, like he had never expected for Huo Qu’s personality, he would do such a thing. He was lost in a trance for a few seconds before he opened his mouth, “Oh, sorry. I didn’t bring mine.”

Looking at that disappointing delicate face, his heart immediately softened, “Give me your phone. I’ll save my number for you.”

Huo Qu tried every pocket on him, and then raised his empty hands, “Oh no! Qinghuan, I...I didn’t bring it with me.” Tear sprang to his eyes.

Yu Qinghuan sighed in his heart. This was killing him! If it hadn’t been because he was not his type, he would have already got him laid.

“It’s OK. I have your name card. I’m gonna call you tonight. Then you will know my number.”

“That’s good.” Huo Qu finally turned tears into smiles, with a shallow dimple on his left face, “Urgh...don’t forget to call me.”

Yu Qinghuan got a little embarrassed, “Sure.”

He had a dinner party at night, so he couldn’t stay long with Huo Qu. But since Huo Qu was so clingy to him, he couldn’t bear to leave him like this. When he was about to ask him out for dinner next time, someone broadcasted, ”

“Mr. Huo Qu. Come to the reception if you hear this. Your families are waiting for you.”

It had been broadcasted five times, every time it got faster than last time.

Like someone was urging you...

Yu Qinghuan turned to Huo Qu and asked surprisingly, “So you lost contact with your family?”

Huo Qu, “?”

“Quit it.” Looking at his ignorant face, Yu Qinghuan tried to change the topic, “Do you know where the reception is?”

Huo Qu shook his head.

“Sorry, I shouldn’t have asked.” Yu Qinghuan touched his forehead and looked around. Then she saw a shopping guide wearing a uniform special to the shopping mall and immediately held her, “Hey there, can you do me a favor to send him to the reception?”

Now was the maximum flow of the day. The shopping guide wished that she could have grown out eight legs. She raised her head, looking impatient, “The reception desk is over there. Can’t you...”

The three words “send him yourself” got stuck in her throat when she saw Yu Qinghuan’s face.

“Well...I can show you.” She immediately changed her tone.

“Not me.” Yu Qinghuan pushed Huo Qu before her, “It’s him. Thank you.”

The shopping guide’s heart skipped another beat. Watching Huo Qu’s delicate face, his brain was going on a strike, she then nodded subconsciously, “OK. Sure.”

It was really her day today! She met two super cute guys at one blow! Let alone lead the way, she would even be very pleased to buy them anything!

On seeing this, Yu Qinghuan felt much relieved. He went out of the shopping mall after telling Huo Qu.

Huo Qu stood there, watching Yu Qinghuan fade away. And then he looked back and went to the reception desk with the shopping guide disappointedly.

“Silly boy, where have you been?” On seeing him, Mrs. Huo immediately trotted towards him and patted him lightly, mumbled, “You made me worried!”

Huo Qu looked at her, confused, “?”

“You don’t know the way home and have no idea how to call a taxi. What if you get lost? Huh?”

“That won’t be the case.” Huo Qu said seriously.

“How dare you talk me back?” Mrs. Huo asked Huo Rong to give Huo Zheng a call to tell him they had found him, and then turned to Huo Qu and kept lecturing him, “Did you forget you have just got lost a few days ago? Huh? Why don’t you listen to my words?”

While Mrs. Huo kept nagging beside, Huo Qu’s thoughts had already flown away.

He wouldn’t get lost. Qinghuan would take him home.

On thinking of Yu Qinghuan, Huo Qu felt like a bird was flying in his heart, happy and jaunty. He had no idea why he had that kind of feeling. Maybe out of gratitude. After all only Qinghuan saw through his embarrassment at that time.

“Mom!” Huo Qu interrupted his mother’s nagging, “I wanna go home.”

Both Mrs. Huo and his two brothers got stunned.

It was the very first time Huo Qu made a request from them for all these 27 years!

Before he was like an invisible person who never expressed his own thoughts or had any hobby. What was more, he’d take any food they gave him, and never talked with others, which was also one of the reasons why Mrs. Huo was worried about him.

But today he said he wanted to go home!

Mrs. Huo nearly cried with joy. She left all the lecturing words behind and asked the driver to get the car in the parking lot.

On the way home, she thought her little son would talk to her. But unexpectedly, Huo Qu stayed silent as the same as before, turning a deaf ear to them, only sitting there, well-behaved. action

The only difference was, after they got home, he immediately started to look for his phone.

“It’s here.” Huo Rong could not bear to see him scour the house like a headless chicken, so he took the phone from under the cushion and threw it to him.

Huo Qu took the phone and went upstairs joyfully. Then he put it on the desk scrupulously and stared at the black screen, with only expectations written on his face.

Qinghuan said he would call him.

While all the others were left in the dining hall, looking at each other, with all question marks stuffed in their heads.

“What...is wrong with Huo Qu?”
