Huo Zhongxiao turns the key to open the door. The dormitory is surprisingly quiet. The leftovers are still spread on the table. He tilts his head a little and sees Ye Zhiqiu on the bed.

She closed her eyes, opened her pink lips slightly, and slept peacefully.

Put the key at the table. Huo Zhongxiao went to the bed and sat down. His deep eyes quietly looked at her tired little face.

For a long time, he bowed his head and kissed Zhiqiu's forehead.

The cell phone in the trouser pocket suddenly vibrated.

Huo Zhongxiao was afraid to wake up the sleeping little man. He got up and went outside. When he pulled the door, he took out his mobile phone and saw the caller display Qin Shisheng's name.

Last time he went to school to find Zhiqiu, he exchanged numbers with Qin Shisheng.

This is the first time Qin Shisheng called him. Huo Zhongxiao pressed the answer button: "hello? It's me... What's up?"

……

Maybe she didn't rest well last night. Ye Zhiqiu slept soundly. When she opened her eyes, she stretched herself contentedly.

The afterglow of dusk came in through the window.

Ye Zhiqiu sat up and looked around the dormitory. He didn't find Huo Zhongxiao. He wanted to get out of bed and found himself covered with a thin quilt.

She didn't know when she fell asleep, but it seemed that she didn't cover the quilt at that time

There was a noise at the door. Ye Zhiqiu looked up. The dormitory door opened and Huo Zhongxiao came in. He had changed into a camouflage training suit. The whole person looked very vigorous.

"When did you wake up?" Huo Zhongxiao carried a bag of apples in his hand.

"Just now."

Ye Zhiqiu scratched her messy long hair and followed him. When she saw Huo Zhongxiao standing at the table and putting the bag and key on it, she suddenly became playful, lifted the quilt, got out of bed barefoot, ran over and hugged him from behind: "scare you!"

Huo Zhongxiao was knocked slightly, but he looked very calm and showed no sign of being frightened.

"At least dress up. You see, I didn't wear any shoes to scare you!" Ye Zhiqiu protested with his training clothes in his small hand.

When she had to continue to complain, Huo Zhongxiao suddenly grabbed her up and carried her back to bed.

Ye Zhiqiu sat by the bed and looked at the man who was half squatting next to him and took a towel to wipe his feet. He pursed his lips and pulled his palm. He was silent.

Huo Zhongxiao's skinny left hand held her ankle. The temperature in the palm of her hand was very high and warm, which made a ripple in her heart.

Huo Zhongxiao had wiped her dirty little feet and let her go before he moved his face.

Instead of rushing out to wash the towel, he put it on the table, dragged the chair and put it by the bed.

Ye Zhiqiu watched him sit down and noticed the change in the atmosphere. It felt a little bad, just like when she forgot to do her homework when she was a child and was called to the office by her head teacher for questioning.

Huo Zhongxiao pondered for a moment, looked up at her and asked, "there's nothing you want to tell me?"

“……”

Ye Zhiqiu blinked her eyelashes, flashing like two dark and dense small fans. She tried to recall that there was nothing to hide from him. Did he find the paper he hid under the bed?

His subordinates felt the edge of the bed and wanted to know if the heart was still there.

"Where's your bag?"

"Hmm?" Ye Zhiqiu was stunned. He didn't dare to move his hands any more. Then he seemed to suddenly understand: "it's too troublesome to bring a bag, so I didn't take it."

When he finished, he nodded as if to say: Yes, that's it.

"What about the cell phone?"

"... left it in the dormitory."

Ye Zhiqiu was relieved to hear that he didn't mean the paper painted by her ghost, but he vaguely felt that Huo Zhongxiao seemed to know why she came here.

Sure enough, Huo Zhongxiao suddenly said, "sneaked out of home?"

Ye Zhiqiu was silent, and this reaction was tacit.

On the phone, Qin Shisheng's worried words seemed to be still in his ears. Huo Zhongxiao stood up and pulled the chair aside: "put on your shoes and I'll take you home."

"I don't want to go home. I just want to stay here. I'm not going anywhere."

Hearing the speech, Huo Zhongxiao put aside his chair. He turned his head and saw her stubborn little face, as well as the faint loneliness and darkness of her eyes.

"Did your parents scold you?" Huo Zhongxiao raised his hand and put it on her hair.

“……”

Ye Zhiqiu rushed over and hugged him. Huo Zhongxiao was very tall. She knelt by the bed, put her hands through his side waist and firmly hugged him. She didn't say anything. Her head was buried low, trying to offset all kinds of complex emotions of bitterness, anger and grievance at the bottom of her heart in this hug.

Huo Zhongxiao didn't move and let her hold her like this and stroked her head with a big hand.

Such silent comfort made Ye Zhiqiu almost burst into tears, but she stifled it back because she didn't want him to worry about himself.

Those are her own family problems.

Her indifferent parents, endless quarrels, and now her life experience have nothing to do with Huo Zhongxiao. He should not be involved.

Even if he told Huo Zhongxiao that he had the ability, it was impossible for her parents to never have a quarrel. Yan Lian's mother and daughter had never been to the world.

They are all mortals in this world. No one is omnipotent.

If there is such a person in the world that she can't help but trust unconditionally and want to rely on, it must be Huo Zhongxiao.

His role is not only to love, but also to give her warmth and take care of her elders.

Ye Zhiqiu held Huo Zhongxiao's waist firmly. She stared at a shadow in the corner and suddenly said, "little uncle, take me away."

The reality is so noisy that she wants to escape everything here.

Huo Zhongxiao looked at the unhappy head in his arms and pulled a wisp of her hair behind his ears. He didn't think her elopement proposal was absurd, but asked along with her words: "did you think about where to go?"

This answer warmed Ye Zhiqiu's heart, although she also knew that elopement was just her oral words.
