Chapter 82 The Strange Old Man
After everyone left, Chen Huo, who had been sleeping, slowly opened his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, he heard the sounds of people going downstairs and dragging luggage outside, and only then did he get up.
"Brother Huo, Yu Han has left. She said she's going back to prepare for her wedding!" Li Qingran said with a disappointed expression.
"This isn't her home, after all!" Chen Huo said.
Li Qingran sighed and suddenly looked at him: "Brother Huo, they say all good things must come to an end. Will we also have to part ways one day?"
"I don't know!" Chen Huo shook his head.
"Ivy went to work, it's just the two of us today!" Li Qingran stepped forward and took his arm. "Brother Huo, can you come shopping with me?"
"Don't you have to go to work?" Chen Huo asked.
"I want to rest!" Li Qingran smiled. "Let's go!"
Chen Huo was free anyway, and besides, it was rare for this girl to make a request, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.
I remember when my older brother and sister-in-law went shopping, he and Li Qingran often followed along.
Now, the two walk on familiar streets, but everything has changed.
"Brother Huo, let's go eat something delicious first, and then go to the amusement park, okay?" Li Qingran skipped and jumped all the way, very lively.
"Whatever you say!" Chen Huo shrugged.
"Thank you, Brother Huo!"
Li Qingran's small hand never let go.
Chen Huo even had the illusion that the two were like a young couple.
Simple, happy, relaxed, and comfortable.
If things continue like this, it would be pretty good.
But some things must have a result.
"Brother Huo, will you ride the carousel with me?" After dinner, Li Qingran bought a pair of tickets and went to the amusement park.
Chen Huo's lips twitched: "How old are you? Still riding the carousel? I'm not coming!"
"Oh, what does it matter? It's suitable for all ages, okay?" Li Qingran persisted, her face displaying a pitiful and pleading expression. "You promised to spend today with me, and you went back on your word!"
"I..." Chen Huo had no choice but to risk his life to accompany him.
Pirate ships, Ferris wheels, slides... they played on every single attraction like teenagers.
Li Qingran's innocent and carefree laughter continued to echo in my ears.
"Brother Huo!" Li Qingran suddenly called out.
Chen Huo turned his head and saw her holding up her phone, snapping a few photos of them together: "Brother Huo, we've never taken a photo together alone before, I have to keep these safe!"
"You talk like I'm about to die!" Chen Huo rolled his eyes. "It's getting dark, can we go back now?"
"It's really time to go back!" A hint of longing and reluctance flickered in Li Qingran's eyes. "Brother Huo, to be honest, I haven't been this happy in many years!"
Thank you for being with me!
"Stop thanking me all the time, it makes us seem too distant!" Chen Huo said, pursing his lips.
"I'm just afraid that one day we'll drift apart and become strangers!" Li Qingran said.
"I've always considered you one of my own!" Chen Huo said. "What, are you going to follow Yin Yuhan's example and get married?"
"I'd like to, but someone doesn't want to!" Li Qingran glared resentfully. "So, I'm not considering it for now!"
Chen Huo coughed twice, changing the subject: "So, what do you want to eat tonight? It's on me!"
"Young lady, why don't you buy a bouquet of flowers?" Just as the two walked out of the amusement park, a frail old man carrying a flower basket came up to them.
"Wow, these flowers are so beautiful!" Li Qingran's eyes lit up immediately.
The flowers this old man sold weren't ordinary bouquets; they were woven into various shapes, making them quite beautiful.
"Grandpa, did you make all of this up yourself?"
"Yes, young lady, it's just a little skill! If you like it, buy some!" the old man said with a smile.
"Then give me one!" Li Qingran picked out a flower wreath and bought it.
"Young man, would you like to buy one too?" The old man turned to Chen Huo, "You two would make a perfect pair; you're a handsome couple standing together!"
Chen Huo frowned.
The old man looked to be in his seventies or eighties, with a hunched back and wearing a felt hat.
The age spots on his face were very obvious, and his hands were thin and withered, unlike those of ordinary people, they were purplish-black.
"Sorry, I'm not buying!"
"Brother Huo, the old man has had a hard life, let's buy another one!" Li Qingran said, picking out another one.
The old man, however, took out a bracelet-shaped flower wreath and handed it to her, saying, "Young lady, your boyfriend is so stingy. I don't want him to buy it for you; I'll give you another one instead!"
"Grandpa, no need, you're not having an easy time selling flowers!" Li Qingran insisted on paying.
But the old man still refused and turned away, trembling.
"Hey, grandpa, I haven't paid yet!" Li Qingran pretended to chase after him.
But the old man's pace quickened, and she couldn't catch up.
"Qingran, forget it!" Chen Huo pulled her back. "This old man is acting strangely, just ignore him!"
Li Qingran chuckled: "Brother Huo, you're probably upset with him because he said you're stingy, right?"
"Looks like you're really stingy!"
"I just don't like this old man. Alright, let's go eat!" Chen Huo interrupted the conversation, and as he left, he subconsciously glanced back at him.
The old man's figure had long since disappeared.
He frowned again.
I have a feeling that something's off about this old man.
Their speech, behavior, and clothing seemed somewhat different.
But it's not immediately clear where it is.
"Brother Huo, what are you looking at?" Li Qingran asked.
"It's nothing... Qingran, didn't you feel that the old man just now didn't seem to be a local?" Chen Huo said.
"Really? I didn't really notice!" Li Qingran fiddled with the flower wreath in her hand. "But it seems like there aren't any of these unique handmade flower wreaths in Jiangcheng. Maybe they're from out of town making a living. It's not like there aren't people from other places in Jiangcheng, so what's so strange about that?"
"It's nothing, let's go!" Chen Huo didn't think too much about it. He found a specialty restaurant, had dinner with Li Qingran, and then drove back.
"Brother Huo, could you please take me home?" Li Qingran suddenly said.
"What are you going back for?" Chen Huo asked, puzzled.
"It doesn't seem right to stay at your place all the time. I'll come back later to pack my things and go home to visit my parents!" Li Qingran said, then added, "Besides, Huo-ge, you have Ai-wei now. It's not appropriate for me to be a third wheel!"
Chen Huo opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but then swallowed his words.
Yin Yuhan left, and Li Qingran left too, which inevitably stirred up his emotions.
When the car stopped in front of Li Qingran's house, Li Qingran jumped out and said, "Brother Huo, I'm going home. Drive carefully!"
