It was already quite cold now, and even though Kou Chen was wearing a long coat, he still felt like he was being blown through when standing at the entrance of an alley, where the old north wind was blowing hard.

But Huo Ran was still sitting on the iron chair in a daze, neither speaking nor moving.

It seems that he has stopped crying, but the corners of his eyes are always moist, and from time to time there will be a tiny bit of light sliding down to his chin.

He didn't speak, and Kou Chen couldn't find anything to say, so he just stood like this for several minutes.

Huo Ran was wearing less clothes than him, and he was probably already exhausted by now, but Kou Chen didn't dare to say anything.

No matter how you think, it was all caused by him. If he hadn't picked up the Overlord Bear, the aunt wouldn't have said those words, and Huo Ran would have been fine.

But the Overlord Bear really made him upset, and the cousin kept quarreling with Huo Ran about beating and scolding the Overlord Bear, so he couldn't hold it back.

If it weren't for the fact that making sausages somewhat intimidated him, and that he was Huo Ran's relative, he wouldn't have carried the Overlord Bear, but would have carried his father.

His mind was very confused now and he couldn't organize his words. Firstly, he didn't know how to comfort Huo Ran. Secondly, he couldn't control himself and kept wondering what his aunt's words meant.

After standing for several more minutes, Kou Chen couldn't bear the cold anymore. Since he couldn't speak, he decided to do something.

He mustered up the courage, slowly reached out his hand, and touched Huo Ran's chin gently.

Huo Ran's chin was still wet. He touched it, but Huo Ran didn't scold him.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he took out the mask from his pocket and wiped it on Huo Ran's face and chin a few times.

Huo Ran finally moved and looked up at him: "Don't you have any tissues?"

"No," Kou Chen was a little embarrassed, "I changed into a coat when I went out."

"Oh." Huo Ran lowered his head and felt in his pocket, only to find a mask.

After sighing, he pulled the corner of Kou Chen's coat and wiped it on his face.

"You are also wearing my clothes," Kou Chen said, "Just use that to wipe them."

"It's been wiped," Huo Ran looked at his sleeves, "There may still be runny nose... Do you have mysophobia?"

"No," Kou Chen said, "but if you really wiped the mucus off your nose, don't tell me specifically, even though I don't have mysophobia."

Huo Ran laughed, laughed twice and then lowered his head and wiped his eyes.

Kou Chen didn't feel good about it. The little mung bean bird that Wei Chaoren had raised for three years died, and he had been feeling miserable all afternoon with Wei Chaoren, let alone Huo Ran.

He picked up his coat, wrapped it around Huo Ran, wrapped him in his clothes and hugged him.

It can block some wind and you can cry safely.

However, Huo Ran seemed to have finished crying. After being wrapped in clothes for a while, he patted his buttocks.

"Are you feeling better?" He pulled open his coat and looked down at Huo Ran.

"It's okay," Huo Ran stood up, put the mask on his face and took a deep breath, "I have to go to the hospital quickly and bring the clothes to my grandma. She is very particular."

"I'll call a cab," Kou Chen took his cell phone to call a cab and added, "I'll go with you."

"No need..." Huo Ran said.

Kou Chen suddenly felt depressed and couldn't even speak.

But Huo Ran paused for a second and then changed his words: "Okay, you go with me."

Kou Chen raised his eyes and looked at him.

"But please don't tell my parents what happened just now." Huo Ran said.

"Yeah." Kou Chen nodded vigorously.

He really wanted to ask what the aunt was talking about, but even if he had the guts to do so, he wouldn't dare to ask now. He was afraid that Huo Ran would get all the unfinished anger on him.

What he didn't expect was that when Huo Ran walked out to the alley and waited for the bus, he said again: "I'll tell you what happened after I go to the hospital."

"Actually..." Kou Chen suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he said this. He was afraid that after Xu Zhifan's "privacy", Huo Ran was worried that he would think too much, so he hesitated, "If you don't want to say it, it's okay.

"

Although he really wanted to know, Huo Ran's reaction just now was obviously something that made him extremely unhappy.

"Really?" Huo Ran turned his head and looked at him.

"Fake." Kou Chen gave up in a second.

Grandma Huo Ran was a fat old lady with a smile. She looked in good health. When Huo Ran walked into the ward with Kou Chen, she even wanted to get out of bed and pour them water.

"Stop moving now," Huo Ran said, "Can we still let you pour water?"

"I've never seen this classmate before," grandma said.

"You haven't seen any of his classmates," my mother said next to me.

"This classmate is good-looking," grandma said, "all the children nowadays are good-looking."

"That's not necessarily the case," Huo Ran said. "I'll bring an ugly one to open your eyes another day."

Grandma couldn't help laughing.

Kou Chen sat beside the bed: "There must be ugly ones, but I am definitely the prettiest."

"Yes." Grandma nodded.

Father Huo was not in the ward. The nurse Huo's mother hired for the old lady put all the clothes they brought into the cabinet. Kou Chen was a little nervous next to him. Compared with the calmness he saw last time when he saw Father Huo, he was calmer now.

I felt guilty that I had just bullied Huo Ran and bumped into her mother.

"I heard Uncle Huo say you were pretty good last time, weren't you?" Huo's mother looked at him, "You're awesome at fighting."

"No," Kou Chen rubbed his nose and smiled, "I can't beat Huo Ran."

Huo Ran glanced at him.

"If Huo Ran can't beat him, then he's not awesome at all. Huo Ran is useless." Huo's mother hugged Huo Ran and rubbed his head.

Huo Ran's hair was immediately rubbed until it stood up. He sighed: "My classmates are here, please save some face for me."

"Okay, you two go and play. It's easy to get two extra days off. There's nothing going on here now, grandma," Huo's mother said, "You guys can have something to eat by yourself in the evening. If you don't want to be alone, find someone to go to play with at home."

…”

"I'll go." Kou Chen took advantage of the opportunity and said immediately.

"That's good," Huo's mother said, taking her wallet and stuffing some money into Huo Ran's pocket, "buy some snacks, fruit, etc., and eat them in the evening while playing games and watching movies."

"Yeah." Huo Ran nodded.

When he came out of the hospital, his dark skin was completely dark. Kou Chen looked at his phone: "Where are you going to eat? What do you want to eat?"

"Is there hotpot takeout?" Huo Ran asked.

Kou Chen was stunned: "Yes, we want hot pot takeout?"

"Well," Huo Ran pulled his collar, "The air is too bad. I don't want to stay outside. My eyes hurt a little."

"Okay," Kou Chen called a car, "Would you like to go to... your house?"

"Yes," Huo Ran said, "you can stay at my house tonight. In the past, when I was at home alone, I would call Xu Zhifan and the others over. Hu Yi is not in a good mood this time. Xu Zhifan... has something to do at home, so I won't call

They are gone."

"Okay." Kou Chen suddenly felt much happier than before.

When the hot pot takeout was delivered, Huo Ran was a little surprised. He thought that the takeout probably delivered soup ingredients and hot vegetables, and he had to boil a pot of water himself.

Unexpectedly, what was delivered directly was a huge take-out bucket, which contained a bucket of already cooked soup, a large bag of vegetables and sauces.

"This is very convenient." Huo Ran said.

"Where is your pot?" Kou Chen asked in the kitchen.

"I'll do it." Huo Ran went into the kitchen and took out all the pots and pans. Then he went in to get a spoon, chopsticks, and a small bowl for dipping. Kou Chen kept following him around, but he didn't help in any way.

.

After he put the things on the table, Kou Chen finally had the chance to take action. He divided the chopsticks and put them beside the bowl, then rubbed his hands: "Hey, we're all done."

Huo Ran glanced at him: "Are you working at home?"

"Let's do it," Kou Chen sat down and watched Huo Ran pressing the induction cooker, "Aunt Wang brought me a bowl and I brought it out, as well as the dishes."

"Then you just followed me around and didn't help." Huo Ran said.

"You didn't give it to me either," Kou Chen said.

"Oh!" Huo Ran shouted, "This model of yours doesn't have a program to actively pick up things, right?"

"...Do you owe it?" Kou Chen laughed.

"Do you want to drink?" Huo Ran asked.

"Listen to you." Kou Chen said.

Huo Ran took out a bottle of highland barley wine from the cabinet: "Try this, it's been there for several years, it's 52 degrees."

Kou Chen took the wine bottle, looked at it, and poured two glasses.
