Chapter 1835 - Huo Ze and Xia Tang (39)
Chapter 1835: Huo Ze and Xia Tang (39)
Xia Cha had insomnia all night.
The next day at dawn, she came out of her room.
After informing Xia Zhenyuan and Qiu Zhi, Xia Cha took a taxi to Yan City.
After arriving at Yan City, she headed straight to No.1 High School.
When she reached the entrance, she could not enter because she had no admission notice.
She could only wait at the gate.
When it was almost noon, she saw a group of people walking out of the school.
Xia Cha spotted the principal and she took two steps forward before suddenly stopping.
Was she seeing things?
Otherwise, why did the person in the middle look like the young master of the Huo family?
Wasn’t he in a wheelchair?
Xia Cha blinked and looked at them again.
The person in the middle was indeed Huo Heng.
He was wearing a tailored black shirt and his perfectly ironed pants wrapped around his long legs. Under his short hair, his face looked like it had been sculpted. His contours were like sculptures, his eyes were long and narrow, his nose bridge was high, and his lips were thin… There were no flaws at all and he looked extremely handsome.
Xia Cha’s gaze landed on his slender legs.
The two of them had not seen each other for almost a year. She had not expected him to be able to walk normally.
In the past, he had heard from Xia Wangshi that he had gotten into a car accident and had been seriously injured. He might not be able to walk for the rest of his life.
However, it was all hearsay. The Huo family was rich, so it wasn’t surprising that they managed to treat his leg.
Seeing that they were getting closer to her, Xia Cha lowered her eyes, not knowing if she should call out for the principal.
The front door opened and a group of people walked out.
Two black cars arrived at the entrance. They were probably going out for lunch.
Xia Cha bit her lip, thinking that she should wait for the principal to finish his lunch and return to school before she looked for him.
Huo Heng and the others arrived at the car. The chauffeur got out and opened the door.
Huo Heng seemed to have noticed something. He turned around and glanced at Xia Cha.
Huo Heng narrowed his eyes when he saw the girl standing in the corner with her head lowered.
“Get in the car first,” he said and walked toward Xia Cha.
Xia Cha estimated the time and thought that they had left. She looked up and did not expect a tall figure to stop in front of her.
Xia Cha was shocked.
Instinctively she stepped back, but she was standing in the corner. As she stepped back, her slender back pressed against the corner behind her.
A deep, magnetic voice came from his throat. “Are you that afraid of me?”
Xia Cha looked up at him.
At that moment, he bent down slightly and placed a hand on the top of her head to size her up. “Little Haitang, don’t you recognize me?”
Xia Cha saw a part of his neck peeking out from the collar of his shirt. His skin was very white, and she could faintly see the veins underneath. Her long eyelashes moved, and she turned her face away, shouting softly, “Young Master Huo.”
This was the first time Huo Heng had sized her up at such close proximity in the past year.
She had become much fairer, and her skin was no longer dull. Her eyebrows were thin and her eyes were clean. Her hair was cut short, making her face look even smaller.
“You’ve grown taller and prettier. I almost didn’t recognize you just now.” Huo Heng looked at her amorous eyes and smiled.
When Xia Cha heard his words, a faint pink blush appeared on her delicate face.
The man had an excellent appearance and his eyes were black and bright. When he smiled, his eyebrows were slightly raised and he looked rather indecent. He was completely different from the noble and arrogant look he had when he walked out of the school earlier.
“You haven’t changed. You’re still so annoying.” Xia Cha gathered her courage and glared at him.
Huo Heng lifted a strand of hair from Xia Cha’s slender shoulder and moved closer to her. His thin and beautiful lips curved into a playful smile. “Little Haitang, you’ve become prettier. I’m excited to see you!”
He was very close to her. When he spoke, his clear breath sprayed down on her.
In Xia Cha’s memory, she had never been in such close contact with any guy before. The blush on her face spread to her fair ears.
“Young Master Huo, please watch your behavior.”
Huo Heng saw that her face was red and she was obviously angry.
He stopped teasing her. He straightened his body and put his hand into his pocket. “It’s not the start of the school term yet. What are you doing here?”
Xia Cha frowned at the man’s familiar tone. They had only met two or three times. Was it really appropriate for him to speak to her in such a tone?
“If you don’t say it, I’ll just stand here and not move.”
Xia Cha saw a group of people still standing by the car door. It was obvious that they did not want to get in if Young Master Huo did not want to get in the car. Xia Cha blushed and raised her hands to push the man’s shoulders.
But in the next second, her soft hand was covered by the man’s large palm.
Xia Cha did not expect him to suddenly hold her hand. She immediately shook his hand off as if she had been electrocuted.
Seeing her strong reaction, Huo Heng was a little amused. The tip of his tongue pressed against his cheek, and his amorous eyes were filled with amusement. “Sister, are you trying to make people misunderstand us?”
“Who’s your sister? Move aside!”
Huo Heng placed his long legs in front of Xia Cha. “You haven’t told me what you’re doing here.”
Xia Cha saw that he did not intend to move away if she did not say anything. She bit her lip and said, “If you don’t move, I will kick you hard.”
Huo Heng bent down and whispered into her ear. He blew the stray strands of hair on her cheek and chuckled. “You can try kicking me.”
Xia Cha was angered by his words and subconsciously kicked him.
After kicking him, she saw that his scarlet lips were pursed tightly and she felt a little guilty and flustered…
Her long eyelashes fluttered and she could not help but complain, “You asked me to kick you. You can’t blame me if it hurts. Who asked you to not move away?”
Huo Heng raised the corner of his lips. “I heard that people only beat and scold those they love…”
Before Huo Heng could finish speaking, his mouth was covered by a small hand. “Don’t talk nonsense.” When Xia Cha realized what she had done, she hurriedly retracted her hand and lowered her head, not daring to look at him again.
After all, there were many people watching. Huo Heng knew that the little girl was still shy, so he didn’t make things difficult for her.
“Do you want to have dinner with me?”
“I’m not going.”
Huo Heng put a hand into his pocket and stood up straight. “I’m leaving.”
“You should have left a long time ago.”
Huo Heng clicked his tongue and didn’t say anything else. He turned around and walked toward the car parked by the roadside.
When they arrived at the hotel, Huo Heng went to the private room and ordered some dishes and snacks that Xia Tang used to love. He then instructed Jian Ming to send them over to Xia Cha, who was waiting by the school gate.
After entering the private room again, Huo Heng sat down and looked at the school leader Ren. “Mr. Wu, I heard that your school has accepted a girl called Xia Cha.”
Principal Wu nodded. “She was supposed to be accepted, but her private life is messy and she has a bad character.”
