Chapter 70
Today, Huo Shi was about to leave home and head to the base.
The Steward arranged a particularly sumptuous lunch as a farewell for Huo Shi.
Huo Jihan didn't go to work either.
The family had a very harmonious lunch together.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Huo Shi was set to depart.
People from the base had already arrived to pick him up.
Huo Shi pulled his suitcase out to the villa's entrance, ready to get into the car.
Huo Shi now exuded confidence, fully prepared to face future challenges. At the same time, his demeanor had become slightly more composed compared to before.
That past experience was painful but also a part of his growth.
Lin Yi and Huo Jihan stood outside the villa to see him off.
Huo Mianmian also stood obediently beside them, watching him leave.
Huo Shi placed his suitcase in the car, then closed the trunk and moved to the side of the vehicle.
He opened the car door and, before getting in, said to Lin Yi, "I'm leaving."
Then he added, "I'll come back when I can."
The boy who once stood silently at the doorstep, hesitant to enter, had now let go of his worries and considered home a warm haven he could always return to.
Lin Yi smiled at Huo Shi and said, "Train well, looking forward to your good news."
The world championship was coming soon, and Huo Shi carried a heavy responsibility this time.
Huo Shi nodded, "I understand."
Then he looked at his brother, his eyes filled with uncertainty, as if waiting for something from him.
At that moment, Huo Jihan spoke, "Go ahead. You're not a kid anymore. Just handle things as you see fit."
Huo Shi nodded solemnly, "Okay."
He used to think his brother was strict, and although he still felt that way, this visit home gave him a different perspective.
His brother might be strict, but he bore the burden of the entire family alone, never putting any pressure on him. Instead, he allowed him the freedom to chase his dreams, doing whatever he wanted.
Wasn't this a form of care from an older brother?
Huo Shi realized that his previous views were too superficial. Now, he was learning to look beyond the surface and think more deeply about things.
Finally, Huo Shi came to say goodbye to Huo Mianmian.
He bent down and pinched Huo Mianmian's cheeks, "Mianmian, wait for Uncle to bring you some delicious treats next time."
Huo Mianmian: "...Okay."
But why did his uncle always pinch him so hard?
His cheeks hurt ~
At this moment, Lin Yi, as usual, slapped Huo Shi's hand away with a "smack" and said discontentedly, "I told you to be gentle!!"
Huo Shi shrugged and promptly released Huo Mianmian's cheeks, "Alright, our little Mianmian is made of dough, easily damaged."
Lin Yi retorted, "No matter what he's made of, he's more precious than you."
Huo Shi: "..."
He knew his place in the family well enough.
