Chapter 25 Obsession

Mrs. Huang smiled: "No problem!"

Are all rich people like this? You can’t get used to the crabs on the market, so you try to build a crab pond by yourself? I heard that the vegetables grown by Miss Wei are very popular, or do people in the city grow vegetables better than others?

no the same?

After dinner, Aunt Huang packed up the kitchen and left. Although she was not a live-in nanny, Sylvia gave her an additional subsidy. Aunt Huang rented a house nearby, which was not far away. She just had to get up earlier in the morning.

Already.

As for Huo Yuhuai, he occupied Sylvia's study room, and now he works here most of the time. He doesn't avoid Sylvia if he has anything to say. After all, compared to him, Sylvia

There are more secrets.

It's just that Huo Yuhuai usually doesn't ask anything, and sometimes he helps her get through it. Compared to Sylvia, Huo Yuhuai undoubtedly understands the world better and can do things more accurately.

Now Huo Yuhuai is sitting behind the desk, while Sylvia is on the sofa. Snowball is lying on the armrest of the sofa and taking a nap, looking around from time to time to make sure Sylvia is still beside him.

Jin Zi and Qian Qiu, on the other hand, were lying on the floor of the study room like two generals humming and hazing, sleeping particularly peacefully.

Huo Yuhuai wore plain glasses and occasionally looked up at this scene. Strangely enough, he was a person with a strong sense of boundaries and did not like to interact with strangers.

Usually he doesn't like others to enter and leave his territory at will, but after meeting Sylvia, he felt that Sylvia was undoubtedly more independent than him.

But he just felt that Sylvia was particularly approachable. Just being in the same room with Sylvia made him feel particularly at peace. Being able to stalk her to the point of breaking into her room, Huo Yuhuai was very satisfied with his current situation.

He doesn't want to change the current situation. Friends can last a lifetime, but lovers may not. If there is a possibility between him and Sylvia in the future, maybe he won't reject it, but now, he is very satisfied with the current situation.

Of course, he could also see that Sylvia was not interested in him. She looked at everyone with very cold eyes, as if she had no worldly desires at all.

"That's not right, I also have worldly desires." Sylvia suddenly spoke, and Huo Yuhuai was stunned for a moment. Did he just say these words?

"What do you like? I see that your life is very... austere." After hesitating, Huo Yuhuai still said the word austere, although he felt it was a bit inappropriate.

"Look at girls who are about the same age as you, they basically have little sisters who gather together to eat, drink tea, and go to various high-end places. On weekends, they even go shopping and exercise together. Of course, falling in love is also essential."

Sylvia held her head: "I don't like too many people in my life. The ones you mentioned are too noisy after all. Shopping? The clothes are comfortable enough to wear, and I don't pursue those so-called luxuries."

, I don’t think it’s worth it.”

"As for eating, I never eat out. As for exercise, going for a walk every day is my last stubbornness. As for falling in love," Sylvia spread her hands: "A wise man does not fall in love, and 100% of the world's

Eighty percent of the troubles are caused by love."

"If I don't fall in love, I can't live a comfortable life. Once I fall in love, I'll find all kinds of troubles. I just can't live a good life comfortably enough, so I want to cause trouble for myself."

"Don't talk about me either. Aren't you also in love? You are already twenty-eight."

Huo Yuhuai glanced at Sylvia strangely: "How do you know I'm not in love?"

Sylvia smiled: "I naturally have my own news channels. In fact, I can live very relaxedly by myself. Why should I pursue a life of two people when I can live very comfortably by myself?"

"Sometimes, love is not so beautiful. It seems more like an exchange of interests. For example, money and beauty, or power and status, etc. If you take off this outer layer, it is actually a mess inside."

Huo Yuhuai shook his head: "It sounds like you have seen a lot."

Sylvia: "I have indeed seen a lot. Of course, I have also seen many couples who grow old together. But the probability is too small after all. Many people just live like this for the rest of their lives because the temptation they encounter is not big enough.

That’s all.”

"I live a free life. I can go wherever I want, just like the wind of freedom. No one can restrain me. As for worldly hobbies, I actually like jewelry and fancy clothes, but I can do all of these.

If I am satisfied with myself, I really don’t need a man to make me better.”

Huo Yuhuai smiled: "Just looking at you, I can't tell that you like fancy clothes."

He glanced at Sylvia's one-piece pajamas in a joking manner. It was a bright yellow duck, but it had no body curves at all. Now she looked like a very ordinary little girl, not as elegant as she was during the day.

?

Sylvia doesn't care: "Of course you can be as comfortable as you like at home. If you still dress like a catwalk at home, you don't have enough freedom. As a human being, you can do whatever you want."

The discussion about Sylvia's hobbies came to an end, and Huo Yuhuai didn't say much later. Seeing that it was half past nine, it was time for Sylvia to go to bed, and Huo Yuhuai picked up the notebook on the table.

:"I'm going back."

Sylvia glanced at him: "Go back to work? It seems that the boss is not that easy. You don't look very good in the past two days. If you persist like this despite your youth, you will suffer in the future."

Huo Yuhuai: "There are indeed a lot of things at hand recently. Don't I have to cut off from the Huo family? There are many aspects to consider. Besides, the Huo family are not so easy to get rid of. They have basically been raised to waste in these years.

Already."

Sylvia: "How can you worry so much at such a young age?"

Huo Yuhuai shrugged: "You are still six years younger than me."

Sylvia raised a finger: "I told you a long time ago, I..."

"I know, you are older than my ancestors. My ancestors, I went back first. I don't know where the problem comes from. You are older than my ancestors when you open your mouth." After muttering, Huo Yuhuai left Sylvia's house.

.

Sylvia frowned and said, I'm not exaggerating at all. At Huo Yuhuai's current age, he would take advantage of her great-grandson.

Huo Zhiguo's verdict was handed down quickly, and the evidence was conclusive. Moreover, Huo Zhiguo did not deny what he had done after entering the court, and everything he confessed was clean.

Naturally, this matter could not be hidden from others, and the Huo family soon became famous. As for the Wan family, as proud as they were at the beginning, they are now embarrassed.

Sylvia also heard Huo Yuhuai talk about gossip, saying that Wan Yao was crying and wanting to break off the engagement. But Wan Fu didn't agree. As soon as something happened to Huo Zhiguo, he was eager to break off the engagement and told the Wan family.

The reputation is not good either.

Besides, Huo Yuhuai is going to split up the family. Now the Huo family only consists of Huo Yuhuai and Huo Yuzhou. With such a big family fortune, how can Huo Yuhuai be fair on the surface, right?

If Huo Yuzhou and Wan Yao's engagement continues, will he be able to annex the Huo family naturally? As for those reputations, who will remember them as time goes by?

Everyone will only see how beautiful they are, and as for the things behind them, everyone will selectively forget them.

"All in black, tsk!" Sylvia pouted as she looked in the mirror, dressed in a black dress. She understood the respect for the deceased, but she really didn't like black.

When she came down, Huo Yuhuai was already waiting downstairs. Huo Zhiguo's execution had come down, and now the funeral had been held, but Huo Yuhuai never showed up from beginning to end.

And this funeral was also very small. After all, Huo Zhiguo's behavior was extremely disgraceful, and not many people came to express condolences.

Huo Yuhuai came to Sylvia today because he wanted Sylvia to accompany him and tell his parents the news to comfort his parents' spirits in heaven.

"Before I became an adult, my grandfather always brought me to pay homage to them. Later, after my grandfather passed away, I came here more often. I used to be able to talk to my grandfather if I had anything to say, but now I can only come here and talk to them."

Holding the steering wheel, Huo Yuhuai's eyes were extremely sad. Even if Huo Zhiguo got the fate he deserved, the people who passed away would never come back, and the remaining people would only be left with endless pain.

Sylvia held her head and said: "It will all pass."

Of course she understood this feeling. Suddenly, she seemed to feel like a rootless duckweed, able to only flow with the water without any fetters.

She would not comfort Huo Yuhuai. This is his own life. Life is like this. How can it be smooth sailing?

At the cemetery, after saying hello to the guard, Sylvia got out of the car with a bouquet of roses in her arms.

Huo Yuhuai was surprised: "You also prepared flowers?"

Sylvia: "You mentioned before that your mother likes roses. Mrs. Huang went to the flower room to cut these in the morning. I hope she will like them."

Huo Yuhuai chuckled: "She will definitely like it. I remember when I was young, my father planted a garden of roses for my mother because my mother liked roses."

"It was just that after they had an accident, my grandfather felt sad and pulled out all the roses. There were only various shrubs and lawns in the garden. It was also a beautiful memory of mine. My mother would sometimes take me to water the roses.

Water pruning…”

Huo Yuhuai's voice deepened when he mentioned the memories of the past. If his parents were still alive and well, how could he be as lonely as he is now?

Sylvia walked beside him holding the rose. At this time, she only needed to listen quietly. Of course, she was not good at comforting people, and she didn't look like she could comfort people.

"There are many roses in the flower room. If you like them, just cut some and make cuttings. Over time, the rose garden in your heart will come back." After thinking about it, Sylvia said this.

Huo Yuhuai smiled, "No, even if my garden is filled with roses, it will not be the same rose garden it once was. What is lost can never be regained."

"I would be very satisfied if you let me visit your flower room more often."

Sylvia shrugged: "It's up to you, as long as you're not afraid of dreaming."

Huo Yuhuai paused: "As long as you are here, I won't be afraid. I usually come here when I'm in a bad mood."

He squatted down and wiped the tombstone carefully, with very gentle eyes. While wiping the tombstone, he whispered about his recent situation. What had he done these days, and what fate had Huo Zhiguo met, Huo Yuhuai

Everything is explained clearly.

Sylvia placed the bouquet in front of the tombstone and looked at the gorgeous woman on the tombstone. A trace of regret flashed in her eyes. She was too young, only in her thirties, and she has been sleeping underground ever since.

While Huo Yuhuai was thinking about it, Sylvia's hands shrunk in her sleeves tentatively made a few kneadings. What surprised her was that she actually felt the breath of the undead here.

Later, Sylvia was able to figure out that this was a cemetery, and it shouldn't be surprising to feel this. Just looking at the two faint shadows in front of her, Sylvia had a headache.

She also didn't expect that after so many years, Huo Yuhuai's parents, Huo Zhiqi and Lu Wen, still had a trace of obsession here. Now listening to Huo Yuhuai's words, both of them had a faint smile on their faces.

.

They looked at Huo Yuhuai with very reluctant eyes, but no matter how reluctant they were, there was nothing they could do. Now that their obsession was gone, they really disappeared from this world completely.

Seeing the two people gradually fade away, while Huo Yuhuai still talked about his experiences these days without knowing anything, Sylvia sighed, finally she couldn't bear it anymore.

She didn't see any big moves, and the souls of Huo Zhiqi and Lu Wen, who were about to dissipate, stopped disintegrating. The two souls looked at Sylvia blankly, not understanding what she wanted to do.

Sylvia whispered: "Death is an irreversible ending. Don't you want to say goodbye properly?"

This can be regarded as her tenderness towards Huo Yuhuai. After all, this little kid looks quite pitiful. Now he looks like a homeless puppy.

Her voice was very soft, so Huo Yuhuai naturally didn't hear it. He was immersed in his own emotions at the moment, and his perception of the outside world was almost zero.

Seeing that Huo Yuhuai was still talking to his parents, Sylvia simply walked to the other side. She had no intention of hearing Huo Yuhuai talk about the known things. It was a rare visit to the cemetery, and she really became curious about it.

.

After all, as a necromancer, she has been dealing with all kinds of undead for so many years. Now that she has not touched her old profession for nearly a year, Sylvia is indeed itchy.

It's just that she can't use elemental power in this world, so what she can do is very limited. The most she can do is to find traces of the undead and communicate with them.

Just walking around the cemetery, Sylvia found that there were really too few remaining obsessions. Maybe not everyone is like Huo Zhiqi and his wife, and they didn't suffer as much as they once did?

Don't you care as much as they do?
