9, Chapter 9

Huo Shu looked at Li Qianqian expressionlessly, and Li Qianqian looked at him innocently, moved her mouth secretly twice before swallowing the food. The potatoes were stewed until soft, and the soup was perfectly absorbed.

It explodes in your mouth, with a rustling texture mixed with the taste of chicken.

…I’m so hungry and I still want to eat.

Li Qianqian stared at his bowl, waiting for an opportunity.

"Put out your chopsticks again and I'll throw you into the swill bucket." Huo Shu threatened in a hoarse voice.

If someone else was such a threat, Li Qianqian would definitely not take it seriously, but if it was the only villain in this cookie article... Li Qianqian shrank, holding her chopsticks and no longer daring to eat, she just looked at it pitifully

Huo Shu.

She was wearing a designer skirt, even her hairpins were exquisite, and her whole body exuded innocence that was not stained by human fireworks. She was like a precious work of art, which was incompatible with this dirty snack street.

She looked at Huo Shu helplessly, and the barbecue stall owner couldn't bear the pitiful look. He greeted her warmly: "Little beauty, come here, there is still food here."

Li Qianqian's heart moved, and when she was about to agree, Huo Shu looked over and she shivered again. She thanked the boss nonchalantly: "No, I'm not hungry."

As soon as I finished speaking, my stomach growled.

Huo Shu was silent for a moment, then suddenly put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up, limping slowly towards the supermarket nearby. Li Qianqian looked at the meal he had not finished and swallowed, eager to try the chopsticks in his hand.

...No, if this continues, she really can't control it anymore. Li Qianqian took a deep breath, turned to look at the owner of the barbecue stall, and tried to distract her attention by chatting: "Do you and Huo Shu know each other?"

"Didn't he tell you that he was working here?" the barbecue stall owner asked funnyly.

Li Qianqian was stunned for a moment: "...I never said that."

"I guess it's about saving face," the boss raised his eyebrows at her, "Men are all about saving face, let alone having a girlfriend as beautiful as you."

Li Qianqian said: "I'm not his girlfriend."

"Then you have to keep working hard. This guy can't do anything else, but he has a very strong self-esteem." The boss kindly reminded me.

Li Qianqian always felt that something was wrong with what he said. Just when she was about to ask why, Huo Shu came back.

The first thing he did when he came back was to look at the bowl, make sure she didn't eat anything secretly, and then throw something to her. He raised his head and said to the barbecue stall owner, "I'll let the supermarket charge your account. You can just deduct it directly."

The owner of the barbecue stall looked at the bread in Li Qianqian's hand and said happily: "Why, you think the food here is unclean, so you don't dare to let her eat it, right? She's so protective of her, and she says she's not his girlfriend."

Huo Shu ignored his joke and just sat down and continued eating.

Li Qianqian explained to her boss again: "No, I'm really not my girlfriend."

The boss smiled, looked at her with an "I understand" look, and then went to cut the meat and thread it on skewers.

Li Qianqian felt that he didn't understand, but it didn't matter. She tore open the bread bag, took a bite and asked Huo Shu: "Is what he just said true?" She always felt that the food was not clean, so she bought bread for her.

This kind of thing sounds a bit fantasy.

"No." Huo Shu replied coldly.

Li Qianqian nodded in agreement. She just said that Huo Shu didn't seem to be such a kind-hearted person. He probably thought that since she didn't work here, she was not qualified to eat the work meals here, so she was not allowed to eat.

She sniffed and continued to nibble on the bread. While chewing, she kept talking to him: "You haven't been studying in the evening recently because you work here?"

Huo Shu buried his head in eating.

Li Qianqian sighed: "Actually, my dad has given you living expenses. You don't have to work so hard. If it doesn't work, you can just return it to him in the future. There is no need to work every day. You are already in your senior year of high school and your study tasks are very heavy.

, if you never attend evening self-study, you will definitely not be able to keep up."

Huo Shu ate the last bit of rice in the bowl, stood up and left with the bowl in hand.

Li Qianqian hurriedly followed, and was speechless when she saw that he had finished the bowl: "You are so good at eating, you have finished such a big bowl."

After saying that, she didn't forget to take a bite of bread.

Huo Shu ignored her, walked to the faucet and washed the dishes neatly, then moved a large basin to the side and walked this way. When he walked in front of Li Qianqian, he said with a cold face: "Get out of the way."

Li Qianqian quickly got out of the way and watched him put the basin under the faucet. While collecting the water, he moved the iron sticks and iron plates over and threw them into the basin.

After doing all this, he moved a piece of matza and sat in front of a large basin, and began to wash the iron picks and plates soaked in it.

Li Qianqian squatted next to him and continued to nibble on her bread: "You get home after one o'clock every night and get up at five o'clock in the morning. If you continue like this, you will get sick. If you really don't want to accept the Li family's support, then just follow

How about borrowing money from someone? You’ll pay back the principal with interest when the time comes, so you don’t have to worry about owing a favor.”

"Shut up." Huo Shu was slightly impatient.

Li Qianqian shut up for a moment, stared at his hands washing the dishes for a long time, and then suddenly said: "How about I hire you to help me wash clothes? I have to wash a lot of clothes by hand. You see how good you are at it.

It must be a good fit..."

"Swill bucket." Huo Shu said three words expressionlessly.

Li Qianqian smiled and didn't dare to speak anymore. He concentrated on eating the little bread he had left, while Huo Shuze could finally concentrate on washing the dishes.

However, not long after the two of them got along, Li Qianqian stretched out her finger and poked Huo Shu's back, but Huo Shu ignored her.

She continued to poke, and after two more pokes, she saw that Huo Shu still ignored her, so she broke the silence again: "Huo... Shu..."

Perhaps because her voice was so strange, Huo Shu finally stopped what he was doing and turned to look at her with a cold face——

Then I saw a suppressed red face.

Huo Shu: "..."

His face instantly turned cold, and he pulled her over without even bothering to wipe his hands, forcing her back to face him. After embracing her whole body, he tightened his grip on her lower abdomen and exerted force.

"vomit……"

Li Qianqian spit out the bread and subconsciously held Huo Shu's arm to breathe. Due to her posture problem, she was pressed tightly against Huo Shu from the waist down. Every time she moved unconsciously, Huo Shu became tighter.

Until the end, Huo Shu couldn't bear it and asked: "Are you ready?"

Li Qianqian shivered, and when she turned around, her leg that was tightly wrapped in her skirt accidentally brushed against him. Huo Shu suddenly let go of her, turned around and strode towards the public toilet. She looked at him with a hint of anger.

The back view made me feel a little weak for a moment.

It took Huo Shu a long time to come back. Li Qianqian looked at his indifferent face and asked carefully: "Are you angry?"

"Be safe," Huo Shu warned.

Li Qianqian felt at ease instantly.

It was getting late, the lights were starting to turn on, and there were more and more people on the snack street. After Huo Shu washed all the tableware, he walked to the other side to cut meat and thread it on skewers.

Li Qianqian looked at his skillful skills and found it hard to imagine that such a person would inherit the Huo family and become a ruthless villain in the future. Looking at his cold expression when cutting meat... Well, he looked like a calm killer.

If you are not a villain, who will be a villain?

She sat on a horse in the corner with her schoolbag in her arms, observing Huo Shu's every move out of boredom. Huo Shu didn't even look at her and allowed her to look at him like this.

Although it is already September, the weather is still very hot. Huo Shu has not been idle since eating. At this moment, his clothes are already soaked with sweat, and there is a dense layer of fine sweat on his forehead. Occasionally, there are large beads of sweat running down his face.

It falls along the jawline, and finally condenses on the chin and drips.

He was probably feeling uncomfortable, but because his hands were stained with oil and he couldn't hold a tissue, he could only raise one shoulder and wipe the sweat with a short sleeve. Although it was convenient, it could only reach the side of the face, most of the time.

The sweat still stopped on his face, and occasionally it would fall on his eyes, stinging him so much that he couldn't open them.

When he was about to wipe the sweat with his sleeve again, a small white hand holding a tissue stopped on his face. Huo Shu froze instantly. When he froze, Li Qianqian used his other hand to brush away his sweat.

He wiped his forehead carefully with wet hair.

"...Let go." Huo Shu's eyes were dark and his voice was slightly hoarse.

Li Qianqian quickly wiped his sweat and folded the used tissues obediently: "Let go."

Huo Shu glanced at her indifferently, lowered his head and continued to cut meat, but when he sweated again, someone came again. He stopped him several times to no avail, so he simply stopped talking, and the two of them were silent.

Staying together quietly makes the atmosphere less tense.

The night was getting darker, and once the peak period of eight o'clock passed, the number of people gradually became less and less, and around ten o'clock there were no customers. Huo Shu put down his knife and started to collect the messy iron picks and iron plates on the table, and waited for them.

After soaking these in the big basin, I started to clean the dirty things on the table.

Business was pretty good today, and the boss said cheerfully: "Take all the garbage away, and you can go ahead. There won't be many people down here, so I can handle it myself."

"Okay." Huo Shu agreed.

When Li Qianqian heard that he could leave, his eyes immediately lit up. Looking at the pile of unwashed dishes and the thick garbage on the stall, he felt that Huo Shu would still have to leave after eleven o'clock on his own.

.

Huo Shu was still concentrating on cleaning. Li Qianqian thought for a while, then simply put down her schoolbag and walked to the big basin, hugged her skirt and started to do it. However, she just grabbed a handful of iron picks and hadn't poured the dishwashing liquid up yet. Behind her,

Then a stern voice came: "What are you doing!"

Li Qianqian was so frightened that her hand trembled and she pricked her finger with an iron stick, causing blood to ooze from the fingertip quickly.

Huo Shu dragged her up from the saddle, stared at her hands with his dark eyes, and asked word for word: "Who told you to touch these?"

Even in her previous life, Li Qianqian had never seen him look so horrifying. She was stunned for a moment. When she realized what she was doing, he had already turned on the faucet, held her hand and rinsed it under the water.

The slightly cold water rushed onto the injured fingertips. It stung a little at first, but gradually disappeared. Li Qianqian stared blankly at the hands held by the two people, and then raised her head to look at Huo Shu's after a long while.

Face.

Because he was holding her hand from behind, half of her body was leaning against his arms. When she raised her head slightly, their faces were so close that they were only a punch apart.

Li Qianqian looked at his side face blankly, looking at his frowning brows and overly stern expression, thinking that he was really angry today.

...Isn't it because he is worried about her? When Li Qianqian came up with this idea, she couldn't help but laugh absurdly.

"You still dare to laugh?" Huo Shu's voice was filled with a hint of coolness.

Li Qianqian tensed up instantly and performed a face change on the spot in front of Huo Shu.
