Poor little homeless, Mr. Huo took her home and loved her

Chapter 144 Don’t Worry About Getting Up Late

Hearing Zhou Zhi's words, Huo Qingzhou's expression changed.

He was actually going to be driven away?

Why is it the opposite of the situation for others?

Although he doesn't read novels and is not interested in them, Zhou Ning likes to read them.

I remember when Zhou Ning was watching the show before, he took a few glances from the side and found that the families of the protagonists in the play insisted on making the two protagonists rest in the same room in order to bring them together.

Two people must also sleep in the same bed.

Why did it change when it came to him?

No!

Next time, I must not bring Ningning to spend the night here!

After Zhou Zhi finished giving the instructions, he did not interrupt any further and gave the young man enough space.

She naturally had her own considerations for doing this.

After all, Qingzhou hasn't registered with Xiao Ning yet, so she needs to respect Zhou Ning.

As for getting married and getting a marriage certificate, that is a foregone conclusion, but I don’t know when this resentful son will finally wake up.

If he really doesn't understand, she doesn't mind knocking on his head herself!

This night.

Zhou Ning slept soundly.

She also had a beautiful dream. When she woke up, she felt reluctant and wanted to remember what she dreamed about, but when she turned over, she couldn't remember it at all.

It was clearly in front of my mind, but was blocked by a veil.

Can't see clearly.

Noticing the sunlight coming in from outside, Zhou Ning quickly came to her senses. The sun was almost shining on her butt. She looked at the time and became even more panicked.

Why did you wake up so late?

Maybe it was because she slept too comfortably last night, and she had no classes to rest today, so she didn't care about so many things for a moment.

But then she thought that this was in the old house and it was her first time staying overnight here. If she slept in, the elders would criticize her. She really wanted to leave a good impression on them.

Zhou Ning hurriedly got up, changed his clothes, and walked out of the room.

As I was approaching the restaurant, I heard Huo Qingzhou's voice.

She looked in the direction of the voice and saw Huo Qingzhou in casual clothes, walking towards her with a faint smile on his lips.

Different from the usual suit and tie, it has a more intimate feel.

Zhou Ning couldn't help but take a closer look.

"How did you sleep last night?"

In response to Huo Qingzhou's question, Zhou Ning nodded and said it was fine. Just when she was about to ask him when he got up, she saw Old Man Huo and Huo Zhengan.

I saw Mr. Huo sitting on a lounge chair on the balcony, reading a newspaper leisurely.

Huo Zhengan is in the restaurant.

Zhou Ning immediately greeted him politely.

Huo Qingzhou pursed his lips. He didn't sleep well last night as there was no one around him. But seeing Zhou Ning sleeping well, he was happy.

Huo Zhengan responded calmly: "Xiao Ning, you must be hungry. Let's have breakfast later."

When Zhou Ning heard this, she thought they hadn't had breakfast either, and the embarrassment just now disappeared in an instant. Her eyes lit up and she turned to Huo Qingzhou: "You guys just got up too."

It seems that she didn't get up very late and didn't sleep in.

Now I don't have to worry anymore.

However, Huo Qingzhou's next words brought her back into the awkward situation.

"My dad and I got up a long time ago. We just went for a morning run."

"..."

He smiled awkwardly, and when Huo Zhengan wasn't paying attention, he pulled Huo Qingzhou's sleeve and said in a low voice, "You're up, why didn't you call me?"

She was probably the last one to get up.

How embarrassing.

Unexpectedly, Huo Qingzhou disagreed: "I want you to sleep more."

As he spoke this, his voice rose unconsciously.

Huo Qingzhou did this because he hoped that everyone could hear his caring side, but Zhou Ning didn't think so.

She thought that what Huo Qingzhou said would make everyone pay more attention to her sleeping in, mainly because she felt guilty.

Seeing Huo Qingzhou's raised eyebrows, she was sure that he would not say anything else. In this situation, she had to say something for herself to save her image, and then smiled at Huo Zhengan.

"Uncle, um...actually I usually get up very early."

As a result, before Huo Zhengan could respond, he heard Huo Qingzhou say in confusion: "Really? How come I didn't know?"

Zhou Ning took a deep breath and frowned when he looked at Huo Qingzhou.

Huo Qingzhou could clearly see the displeasure in Zhou Ning's eyes at this moment, and his momentum weakened a little. He racked his brains to think, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.

He hurried to comfort her: "Don't worry about getting up late, there are people who get up later than you."

Zhou Ning was puzzled.

She thought she was the last person to get up here, but she didn't expect that there was someone who got up even later than her. She became even more curious and wondered who this person was.

At this time, Zhou Zhi's voice came from behind.

When they looked back, they saw Zhou Zhi walking towards them.

This look and this attire clearly show that he had just woken up.

While Zhou Ning felt surprised, she also felt less embarrassed. Once someone was in the same situation as her, she felt comforted.

It's like when you are late for school, you rush forward desperately, feeling scared and helpless, and suddenly you meet someone who is in the same situation as you, and you stop panicking instantly.

Maybe the two of them thought that since they were already late, they might as well give up, so they slowed down their pace.

Huo Zhengan and Huo Qingzhou did not show any surprise at all.

Especially Huo Zhengan, he calmly held a glass of water, walked up to Zhou Zhi, and said softly: "Drink a glass of water on an empty stomach in the morning."

Zhou Zhi took it habitually, and when his eyes fell on Zhou Ning, he smiled awkwardly: "I went to bed late last night, so..."

Zhou Ning smiled comfortably, and when she was about to respond, Huo Qingzhou's voice rang out first.

"Mom, you don't need to explain. With your condition, you often go to bed late."

Zhou Zhi: “…”

This brat! How dare he ruin her show like this?

Sooner or later, she would have to "slap him in the face" herself, waiting for the moment when her resentful son would slap her in the face.

Then he smiled apologetically at Zhou Ning.

After that, several people sat down at the dining table.

Glancing at Huo Zhengan's careful movements, Huo Qingzhou naturally did not want to be outdone and personally poured a glass of milk for Zhou Ning.

Zhou Ning thanked him and took a sip.

After she finished drinking, she found that Huo Qingzhou's eyes were always on her, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. After all, they were not the only two people now.

Just as she was about to say something to him, she saw him reach out and gently wipe the corner of her mouth with his fingertips.

Zhou Ning then realized that she had accidentally stained the corner of her mouth with milk while drinking it, and she immediately lowered her head in shyness.

She would feel a little shy whenever she and Huo Qingzhou had some intimate actions, let alone when there were other people around.

But she felt relieved when she saw that no one else noticed it.

After dinner, Zhou Zhi looked at them and said, "Qingzhou, you have a day off today, so spend more time with Xiao Ning and take her for a walk."

Huo Qingzhou naturally agreed and took Zhou Ning to visit the old house.

Zhou Zhi and Huo Zhengan naturally also provide space for the young people to be alone together.
