Chapter 34 - Daughter (2)
In the meantime, Nie AnAn went home with Huo YanXiao.
After him speaking out for her at the airport, it seemed to have changed their relationship a little bit. Nie AnAn wasn’t sure how she was going to interact with Huo YanXiao, so once she arrived at home, her plan was to bring her luggage upstairs and unpack.
Except that, she was just reaching out for her suitcase when a large hand with prominent knuckles cut her off.
Huo YanXiao picked up her suitcase and carried it upstairs with ease and placed it inside of Nie AnAn’s room.
Nie AnAn followed behind him and waited until he placed the suitcase flat on the floor before she said to him sweetly, “Thank you, big brother.”
Huo YanXiao looked her up and down. Ever since he found out that she wasn’t her, he also wasn’t sure how to get along with her. Especially when she seemed so soft and fluffy. He worried that he would break her if he wasn’t careful enough.
“Take a nap if you are tired,” he said. “I still have to go back to the office. I won’t be home till around 6 today.”
“Will you be home for dinner, big brother?” asked Nie AnAn.
“Yes,” nodded Huo YanXiao.
“Oh, okay. You should get going then, big brother!” said Nie AnAn.
Huo YanXiao looked at this sister of his that barely reached his shoulder. He wanted to reach out and rub her on her head again as he walked past her, but she had already shuffled over to her suitcase and squatted down to unpack her stuff.
He saw that everything was neat and organized inside her suitcase. It looked just like the kind of channels online where the host bragged about their ability to organize.
And she was squatting there, like a little animal. For a second there, he thought she had two fluffy ears on top of her head. She was just so soft. He wondered what kind of a soul she had inside of her.
Huo YanXiao retracted his look. He has an important meeting this afternoon to attend. He decided very last minute to go and pick her up this morning, so he didn’t have much time left.
“I am taking off,” he said.
“Okay, drive safely and have a good day at work!” said Nie AnAn sweetly.
“Mmm,” he nodded as he turned and left.

That night, Huo YanXiao could smell the aroma of dinner as soon as he walked inside the house.
He changed quickly and came over to where Nie AnAn was.
She was just about to pour the soup from the pot into a bowl. She was holding onto the pot with her thin wrists and trying to pour the soup out.
Huo YanXiao reached over and said, “Let me do it.”
Having said that, his strong hand took over the entire pot, poured out all the soup into the soup bowl without spilling a drop, and carried the bowl out to the dining room.
Nie AnAn looked at her own soft hands and grumbled to herself. She was actually quite strong too, but he just didn’t seem to believe her on that.
The brother and sister duo sat across from each other at the dining table, and the light clanging noises between the chopsticks and the bowls were all the noises there were in the dining room.
That was, until Huo YanXiao asked all of a sudden, “AnAn, do you have any plans this weekend?”
Nie AnAn shook her head.
Even though Director Cheng had extended her the offer to join the next season of “Gold Medal Inn” and she had received a lot of olive branches from all sorts of organizations, she has yet to decide on her career path.
