Chapter 236: Extra 2...Luckily, I Didn't Lose You
While Xiang Chen went to freshen up, Huo Kai brought out the porridge he had bought. It was early spring, and the morning air still carried a slight chill. Having walked over and spent some time waking up Xiang Chen, Huo Kai felt the paper bowl containing the porridge, and there was only a trace of warmth left in the porridge.
If it were Huo Kai himself, he would have simply poured it into his stomach without a second thought. He had a robust constitution and lived a rough lifestyle.
However, thinking of Xiang Chen's pale complexion after the hangover, Huo Kai hesitated for a moment and then carried the bowl into the kitchen. He was familiar with Xiang Chen's home, so he quickly found the utensils he needed and poured the porridge into a small pot, intending to reheat it.
Porridge thickens if left for too long, and reheating it only makes it thicker. As Huo Kai cooked, he added water to thin it out, turning one bowl of porridge into half a pot in no time.
Boys their age could eat a lot, so although the reheated porridge didn't look appetizing, the aroma of the rice still wafted through.
Glancing back and seeing Xiang Chen still in the bathroom, Huo Kai realized he was probably taking a shower after bringing his clothes in. Without hesitation, he grabbed a bowl, took out a jar of pickled vegetables made by his mother, and stood in the kitchen, slurping up the porridge with a bit of pickled vegetables.
After finishing the porridge, Huo Kai washed the bowl and noticed that Xiang Chen hadn't come out yet. Finding it strange, he began to worry that something might have happened to Xiang Chen since he didn't look well in the morning. As he stepped out of the kitchen, the doorbell suddenly rang, startling Huo Kai. Apart from him, Xiang Chen didn't have many friends, let alone relatives. Who could be coming to see him at this hour?
Approaching the door and peering through the peephole, Huo Kai saw a tall, imposing man standing outside, his brow furrowed slightly, emanating an aura that seemed to penetrate through the door. Huo Kai's pupils contracted slightly, realizing it was Xiang Chen's crush. After yesterday's failed confession, the man had shown up today with the same expression. Huo Kai couldn't help but worry that he might be causing trouble, wondering what Xiang Chen had done yesterday.
Pressing the doorbell with no response, the man outside didn't give up. He pressed it again, seeming confident that someone was inside and showing no intention to leave.
Thinking for a moment, Huo Kai made a decision, opened the door, and posed as if he were the owner of the house. "Who are you looking for?"
It was clear that Xu Hengzhou hadn't expected someone other than Xiang Chen to open the door, but he quickly caught on. He glanced at the seemingly fierce boy in front of him and spoke calmly, "Huo Kai? Where's Xiang Chen?"
"In... inside..." Huo Kai answered. Seeing Xu Hengzhou already walking past him towards the house, he hurriedly caught up and asked, "How do you know my name?"
Hearing that Xiang Chen was inside, Xu Hengzhou's heart, which had been tense, relaxed slightly. He had slept soundly with his lover in his arms last night, but when he woke up, Xiang Chen was gone, which had scared Xu Hengzhou quite a bit.
Based on the situation at that time, Xu Hengzhou quickly surmised that he might have traveled back, but he had no idea what had happened to Xiang Chen. Without further ado, Xu Hengzhou swiftly retrieved the information about Xiang Chen that he had asked someone to check before, and without calling a driver, he drove straight to Xiang Chen's house.
