Huo Xiao, who just returned from a business trip abroad, has been working remotely at home these days.
In addition to adjusting my schedule, the main reason is to spend more time with my family.
He is indifferent to outsiders and decisive in killing in the mall, but he values family affection and family, especially his twin brother Huo Yan.
Huo Yan has been in poor health since he was a child and often gets sick.
The seasons have changed in the past few days, and the weather has suddenly cooled down. His fever reached nearly 40 degrees in the middle of the night, and the family doctor was so scared that he did not dare to leave even half a step away.
On the contrary is Huo Xiao. He has rarely been sick since he was a child. He is energetic and physically strong. He is even a few centimeters taller than Huo Yan.
He has always wondered whether he robbed his younger brother of nutrients when he was still in his mother's womb, which led to his frailty.
Therefore, when facing Huo Yan, Huo Xiao always had an indescribable feeling of debt.
The assistant knocked on the study door and brought in a stack of contract reports and documents.
When Huo Xiao picked up a financial report, he spotted a touch of green in the pile of documents.
He opened it and saw it was an envelope.
The envelope has the home address and postal code written in beautiful calligraphy, and the last line is marked - Bai Yushou.
Bai Yu?
Huo Xiao frowned slightly.
After thinking for a few seconds, I remembered that the pen name used by my younger brother Huo Yan when writing seemed to be Bai Yu.
In other words, this is a letter written by his younger brother's pen pal?
Huo Xiao found it a little funny.
In an era where communications are so advanced, they still use such an inefficient way to transmit information?
However, this seems like something Huo Yan can do...
The handwriting on the envelope looks like a woman's handwriting.
Could it be... is this still a love letter?
Huo Xiao suddenly became curious.
His younger brother is the same age as him, but he has never been in love. Whenever his family wants to introduce him to a girl, he blushes and refuses.
Could it be that...my brother rejected others because of the person who wrote this letter?
He has a wanton nature and is very close to his younger brother. He is not afraid of his anger. He raised his hand and wanted to open the envelope and read the contents inside.
At this time, the study door was pushed open violently——
"Brother! Has my letter been sent to you?"
His younger brother Huo Yan hurried into the study without saying hello. He immediately saw the familiar envelope in his brother's hand and quickly stepped forward to take it back to his hand.
Huo Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Huo Yan is usually gentle and polite.
His usual mantras are "be normal" and "let nature take its course" and so on. Such an eager look rarely appears on his face.
Huo Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the envelope was intact.
Only then did he react, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Sorry, brother, for disturbing you."
His hair was slightly curly, a little brown under the sunlight, and covered his forehead softly.
Although Huo Yan and Huo Xiao are twins, their temperaments are so different that almost no one would mistake them for each other.
Huo Xiao loves fitness, outdoor sports, and boxing. His whole body is covered with clear and strong muscles. In addition, he has been in a high position all year round, and has a domineering and strong personality, sharp eyes, and a strong aura.
Huo Yanxi, on the other hand, likes to read, write, and play the piano alone. Due to illness, her complexion is as white as snow and her figure is thin. He rarely gets angry, his eyes are calm, and he always has a smile on his face.
The servants at home would shy away when they saw Huo Xiao coming home, but they all liked to take the initiative to talk to Huo Yan.
"Why are you so anxious? Is it really a love letter?" Huo Xiao teased.
"Brother, don't talk nonsense!"
Huo Yan's fair face was a little red, and if you look closely, there was a bit of shyness in his eyes, as if he had been told something that was on his mind.
The corners of Huo Xiao's lips curled up slightly, and a glint flashed in his eyes. Huo Yan secretly thought something was wrong and took two steps back, but the envelope in his hand had already been snatched away by Huo Xiao.
The envelope was opened by Huo Xiao in a few clicks, and as soon as the fragrant letter was unfolded, Huo Yan took it back.
Huo Yan looked solemn. He was just about to seriously discuss the issue of privacy with Huo Xiao when he caught sight of a few lines on the letter and was startled.
Holding the letter paper in both hands, read every word on it carefully.
Huo Xiao was just teasing him. He smiled and put down the envelope. Something slipped out of the envelope and fell on the table.
When I pinched it, I saw that it was a green leaf. It was plasticized with a plastic sealing machine and tied with a tape to make it look like a bookmark.
Huo Xiao sighed.
Do kids play house?
Huo Yan had already read the contents of the letter. He looked a little dazed and obviously excited, and murmured to himself:
"She... wants to ask me to meet..."
Hearing this, Huo Xiao frowned.
Is this a pen pal meeting?
Huo Yan has a pure nature and has always been in a relatively simple environment. He always thinks in the best direction when looking at people.
He is worried that he will be deceived by the other party. Nowadays, swindlers use various deception techniques and it is difficult to detect them. It does not matter to deceive money, but if they are to deceive feelings...
A cold light flashed in Huo Xiao's eyes.
"Are you familiar with your pen pal?"
Huo Yan was a little embarrassed and lowered his eyelashes.
"Well, we've been corresponding for almost ten years."
ten years?
Huo Xiao was startled and felt a little incredible.
"Have you kept in touch over the past ten years?"
"Yes, about one letter every two weeks."
"Have you never met before?"
"Never."
"Then why does the other party suddenly ask to meet you?"
"..." Huo Yan was startled for a moment, "The letter said that she recently went to Xinghai City to work, and she wanted to see me..."
His throat slid twice, his eyes were blank, and his expression was obviously beyond the sky.
Huo Xiao sighed, it seemed that he couldn't stop it.
No matter what, he is not young anymore. Even if he is cheated, he has gained social experience.
Besides, these artistic young people will always beautify each other and give them a halo.
Maybe the other party is an ugly old woman?
Huo Xiao sneered very harshly.
But looking at Huo Yan's expectant look, he didn't say anything to attack him.
Only when the two of them meet do he understand how important the sense of distance is...
But Huo Yan didn't think that much at all, or he didn't care about those external things.
The continuous communication over the past ten years allowed him to understand each other's inner thoughts and thoughts. The two of them had the same spiritual resonance, which was enough for him.
Huo Yan added the other party according to the contact information in the letter, and the two made an appointment to meet the next morning.
Huo Yan couldn't sleep well all night.
When Huo Xiaochen came back from running the next day, he saw Huo Yan tinkering in the cloakroom for a long time, holding a coat in one hand and asked him which one he should wear.
Huo Xiao: "..." How about you put on makeup again.
There were still several hours left before the appointed time, so he went out excitedly.
Huo Xiao took a shower, had breakfast, changed clothes and went to the company.
Passing Lecheng Square on the way, Huo Xiao remembered that Huo Yan and his pen pal seemed to have arranged to meet here.
I don’t know if they have met.
On a whim, Huo Xiao called the driver to stop.
Get off the car and walk slowly on the pedestrian street of the shopping mall. Today is the weekend, people are coming and going, and the passenger flow is not small.
This commercial plaza is the first project he promoted after taking charge of the company.
This was originally a cramped above-ground station. Due to improper planning, the passenger flow was hedging and the platform was extremely crowded.
Later, under the company's design, the original station building was demolished and the original bus site was expanded to 7,000 square meters while retaining the lines. At the same time, a commercial area of approximately 19,000 square meters has been built here, introducing a variety of commercial categories.
Today, Lecheng Plaza has become one of the iconic public places for shopping and leisure in Xinghai City.
Huo Xiao walked carelessly. With his height of nearly 1.9 meters and handsome appearance, he was extremely eye-catching in the crowd.
Some people were eager to come over and strike up a conversation, but they felt a little timid looking at his cold and distant expression.
Huo Xiao smiled lightly.
He likes this era of rapid development and change.
But he has no interest in fast-food love, which will only waste his precious time and energy.
"...Mom, don't worry, he is not a bad person...Okay, I will call you later..."
He heard a soft voice in his ears. He was clearly in a noisy square, but Huo Xiao clearly captured it.
He subconsciously turned his head and looked over.
A girl passed by him while talking on the phone, her long hair flying, revealing half of her face.
Huo Xiao's pupils froze instantly, and his eyelids twitched like a spasm.
But sometimes, he also wonders what kind of woman he would like.
Until that moment, when I saw that person, it was like the abstract lines in my mind suddenly became concrete, and I had an inexplicable feeling in my heart, as if something had collapsed.
The tip of her nose was slightly raised, and her lips were a light pink color. It seemed that she had talked a little too much, and her lips were a little dry. She stretched out her tongue and licked her lips lightly, leaving a crystal luster.
Just like a slow motion in a movie, the few seconds left him stunned for a long time.
When he came back to his senses, the girl had disappeared into the sea of people, and he felt a sudden pain of separation in his heart.
When Huo Xiao returned to the car, he was still in a daze.
"Lao Li, please help me check-"
He originally wanted to find out the girl's identity information through the information network, and then slowly figure it out.
But halfway through speaking, Huo Xiao stopped again.
He doesn't believe in fate.
But at this moment, there was a certain intuition.
Him and this girl.
It won't be a chance encounter.
There must be other stories waiting for them.
Huo Xiao smiled and leaned back on the chair, feeling some anticipation in his heart.
