Huo Tingren drove the car towards the high-speed rail station.
He called Tong Hao twice on the way.
However, why would Tong Hao, who was already on the high-speed rail, answer his call?
She was happily listening to the music.
When they arrived at the high-speed rail station, Huo Tingren had his shift checked.
The high-speed rail to the sea had left forty minutes ago.
Huo Tingren breathed heavily and sent a WeChat to Tong Hao.
"I checked the number of cars. Two hours later, there's a high speed rail that returns to Northern City from the sea. I'll be waiting for you at the high speed rail station. If you don't come back, I'll pay you a visit. "
After reading the text message, Tong Hao muttered 'crazy' and didn't pay any more attention to him.
Back at the sea, she called her mother and went to her apartment.
She had been busy working at the Northern City for the past few days, and hadn't pursued a show in a long time.
Thus, she went to the supermarket and bought a lot of snacks. She curled up on her bed and watched TV.
When her father called her, he couldn't get her because his cell phone was muted.
It was late in the afternoon and he was drowsy on the bed when the doorbell rang.
Tong Hao lazily got off the bed and looked out through the peephole at the door of the room.
Seeing that the person outside was her father, she directly opened the door.
"Dad, why are you here?"
Father Tong said with a cold expression, "I'm calling you, but you're not answering. What's the matter?"
"I didn't hear it. The phone is muted."
As she spoke, she turned and walked back into the house.
Father Tong said, "Fourth Master Huo, look, I told you she was fine."
Tong Hao's footsteps paused for a moment before she turned around.
When Tong Hao saw Huo Tingren's face at the entrance, she lost her composure.
"You ?? "Why are you here?"
"Tong Hao jie, didn't I tell you already? You really forget too many things."
Tong Hao ?? Sister?
In the past, she had tried to get him to call her elder sister.
In the end, he was so arrogant that he ignored her.
Today, he had actually spoken, but why did it feel so creepy?
Father Tong said angrily, "Alright, alright, alright. You're in the wrong here. I already told the little Fourth Master that we're going to the sea together. How can you go back on your word? Is this how I usually teach you?"
Tong Hao winked at her father.
But her father didn't have much vision.
Huo Tingren obediently asked, "Sister Tong Hao, what about me, should I talk to uncle or you?"
Father Tong said, "Fourth Master Huo, you should talk to me. This child doesn't remember much, I'll take care of your matters for you. I guarantee that it will be handled appropriately."
Huo Tingren pursed his lips, "Alright, this time I will..."
"Dad, dad." Tong Hao went forward and held her dad's wrist. "Tingren is here for personal matters. It's not convenient for you to come out. We've said it already. I'll settle it. You can go back."
"I'll be the one to handle private matters. What can you solve? Look at your messy appearance right now ??"
Tong Hao looked down at her pajamas.
She said unhappily, "Alright, I've already said it. I'll do it."
She forcefully pushed Father Tong towards the door and said, "Hurry up and go back. Don't disturb us from our serious business."
With that, she closed the door and turned to glare at Huo Tingren.
Huo Tingren pursed his lips and spread out his hands, looking like he deserved it.
Tong Hao glared at him. "Brat, have you really gone mad?"
Huo Tingren stepped forward.
Tong Hao immediately jumped back. "Stop right there! Keep your distance from me! I don't want to beat you up."
She leaned against the wall and walked back into the living room.
Huo Tingren followed in and looked around.
"So this is where you live. Does it look good?"
Her living room was large, with a large bookcase along the wall and comic books on it.
The house had two bedrooms, both decorated in a girlish way.
The bed in the master bedroom was filled with snacks, and the ground was littered with bags of snacks.
"Tsk, why is it so chaotic."
Tong Hao hurried forward and closed the door to the master bedroom. She then walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down.
When he had finished, he came and sat down beside her.
"I'm thirsty."
Tong Hao turned to look at him and cleared her throat. "What do you want to drink?"
"Wine?"
Tong Hao quickly stood up. "What do you want to drink? There's only coffee and water. Choose one."
"Then let's drink. I don't want to lose sleep tonight."
Tong Hao snuck a glance at him. So it turned out that he had also fallen asleep last night.
She poured him a glass of water and placed it on the coffee table in front of him.
She walked to the side, pulled up a chair, and sat down opposite the coffee table.
Huo Tingren frowned. "Being so far away, are you afraid that I'll eat you?"
"Little brother, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I just think that we should face each other while discussing things."
Huo Tingren looked at her coldly. "Who is your little brother?"
"You, didn't you just call me sister Tong Hao? I really like that name, I'm just suitable to be your sister."
"Tong Hao, don't be so glib. Let me ask you, why did you run away?"
"Where did I escape to?" Tong Hao patted her chair. "This is my home, whoever runs away will return home."
"Then why didn't you answer when I called you?"
Tong Hao shrugged, "Didn't you hear what I just said to my father? My phone is muted. Besides, I called you before, but you didn't answer every now and then. "Say it, what did you come here for?"
"You don't know?" Huo Tingren crossed his legs, "I want an answer."
"I told you, I haven't thought it through yet."
"Don't try to lie to me. In fact, you've already made up your mind to reject me. Otherwise, you wouldn't have run away."
Tong Hao did not understand. This brat clearly knew everything, but why did he come here on his own?
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Huo Tingren said unhappily: "Looks like I guessed right."
Tong Hao heaved a sigh of relief. Her expression turned serious. "Tingren, I will tell you the truth. It's impossible for me to be with you."
"Then you must have thought of a reason to lie to me. Tell me about it, I'll listen."
Tong Hao sighed. "Alright, I won't lie to you. Let me tell you my true feelings. Tingren, you are three years younger than me. You were in your prime, and I was in my nuptials. I need a home. You need a relationship.
In my opinion, what you call liking is not just sudden, but not mature enough. I have my own considerations and concerns. I'm afraid that when you reach my age, you will suddenly realize, as you do today, that your feelings for me are not love. By then, I would be almost thirty. People are selfish. I just want to think for myself. "
"To put it bluntly, what you want is marriage, and you think I can't give you this marriage?"
