Greedy ( 贪甜 )

chapter 2

　　The man in front of her lowered his head slightly, revealing half of his face as cold as white as jade. The light in the cloakroom focused on the top of his golden hair, and his thick, straight eyelashes cast a faint shadow on the high bridge of his nose.

　　Huo Sinian spoke slowly, his skeletal back was immersed in the light, and his figure was tall and handsome, unlike a real person.

　　Meng Ning carefully raised her eyes and saw the man's bright and eye-catching blonde hair. She paused for breath and subconsciously took a small step back.

　　Meng Ning rarely saw people with such blonde hair in her life. She had also seen this kind of unconventional hair color in her hometown town. Those were street gangsters and elders who had nothing to do all day and wandered around. A bad boy that should be kept away from.

　　Looking at the "bad boy" in front of her, Meng Ning's mind went blank. After slowly coming to her senses, countless thoughts flashed through her mind. Thief or robber...he was not a good person after all.

　　As if he guessed what the girl was thinking, Huo Sinian's long eyelashes were slightly furrowed. Just when Meng Ning opened her mouth and was about to call someone, he frowned slightly and put his long and clear fingers on Meng Ning's slightly opened lips, signaling her 'Don't shout'.

　　The man's fingertips were warm, and the muscles and bones at the girl's mouth were slightly protruding, as if they were coated with a layer of ivory-like enamel. When they touched the girl's cold and soft lips, they felt like they were touching soft jelly.

　　In silence, the two of them were stunned for a moment.

　　Meng Ning's eyes widened in horror, and she froze in place without daring to move, like a frightened deer, her eyelashes trembling slightly like a folding fan.

　　She turned her head away and tried to maintain the surface calm. The hands hanging by her sides clenched into fists and asked, "Who are you?"

　　Huo Sinian looked calm, twirling his fingertips lightly, his thin and elegant mandible slightly raised, with smooth outlines. His dark eyes stared at Meng Ning. For a moment soaked in the light, they looked like a carefully painted oil painting of a life portrait.

　　Huo Sinian wanted to laugh, but was afraid of scaring the child again, so he could only explain patiently: "I'm not a bad person."

　　After saying that, Huo Sinian raised his eyes and glanced at the cloakroom. The decoration style that used to be mainly gray tones has now changed to warm colors. There are no clothes in the three colors of black, white and gray in his closet. Instead, there are all kinds of clothes for little girls. All kinds of dresses, white, blue, pink, purple.

　　He raised his eyebrows. Did he put a rainbow in the cloakroom?

　　Seeing that the little girl pursed her lips tightly and said nothing, Huo Sinian looked away and slowly understood what had happened during his absence.

　　Three months ago, he heard from the old man that he wanted to free up his bedroom for other purposes. After all, he only came back a handful of times. Huo Sinian refused at that time. Now it seems that the old man did not take his refusal seriously at all and only gave a notice.

　　Later Huo Chen complained to him that his bedroom was occupied by a girl brought by the old man.

　　It should be the one in front of you.

　　Huo Sinian was thoughtful, and his faint gaze fell on Meng Ning again.

　　The fear in the little girl's eyes did not dissipate. She grabbed a corner of the floral nightgown with both hands and wore a pair of childish white rabbit ear slippers. After noticing the man's sizing gaze, she cautiously took two steps back.
