Capítulo 865: Chapter 523: Sweet as Honey, Five Days and Nights Without Rest
Originally, Jiang Chengsi didn’t even bring him along for fun, but suddenly he called him, and Huo Ran was so happy that he ca over bouncing.
“Bro?”
“Where are you?”
“I’m at Fourth Brother’s club.”
“I’m going ho tonight.”
“I’m helping Fourth Brother with sothing, I might be ho late…”
Before Huo Ran finished speaking, he heard his big brother say, “If it’s too late, don’t co back. It’s not safe on the road.”
“…” Huo Ran was dumbfounded. What the heck?
In the past, whenever he went out to fool around, his attitude was: “If you’re not ho by ten, I’ll break your leg… What? Not coming back? Staying out all night? Then try it.”
What’s up today? He’s telling him not to co ho?
After Huo Qinqi hung up the phone, Shen Shuci looked at her suspiciously. She couldn’t hear what Huo Ran was saying, only soone telling him not to co ho, “Huo Ran’s not coming back?”
“I’m not ho, so he’s probably playing wild with Chengsi.”
Before Shen Shuci could speak, she heard him say again, “The kids are all grown up, can’t control them anymore.”
“…”
Huo Ran isn’t dumb. The news of his brother’s proposal had already spread all over the family. He was definitely bringing his sister-in-law back, and he probably wouldn’t stay at ho long. He obviously didn’t want Huo Ran disturbing them, so he sensibly asked Jiang Chengsi if he could stay at his place.
“You want to stay at my place?” Jiang Chengsi looked at his head of hair that resembled a cockscomb.
“Is that okay?” Huo Ran smiled, bright and sunny.
“I’m fine with it, as long as you’re not scared.”
“What am I afraid of? Your place doesn’t have wolves or tigers.”
Jiang Chengsi raised an eyebrow:
His brother was far more formidable than any wild animal.
Huo Ran happily tagged along with Jiang Chengsi to his place, wondering if he should buy so skewers and beer. But he completely underestimated Jiang Shiyi’s level of cleanliness. Before he even set foot in the house, Jiang Shiyi stopped him.
The club was under renovation, and they had been going back and forth on the site, so their level of dirtiness was imaginable. Jiang Chengsi was used to it and took off his coat at the door.
But Huo Ran was clueless; he almost got stripped bare before entering the place!
He was just about to be completely disinfected.
“Fourth Brother, does Third Brother have sothing against ?” Huo Ran had seen Jiang Shiyi a few tis. Outdoors, his cleanliness wasn’t that exaggerated.
Jiang Chengsi chuckled, “My brother has nothing against you. Why would he?”
“That’s true…”
“He simply thinks you’re dirty.”
“…”
Huo Ran was generally an easy-going person, but Jiang Shiyi’s cleanliness, along with his slight OCD, drove him a bit crazy. He finally found soone tougher to deal with than his brother.

Hexi, Huo Family
When Huo Qinqi and Shen Shuci got ho, the family watched as they walked in holding hands, eyeing them with a peculiar look.
A bunch of grown n surrounded them, grinning broadly, making Shen Shuci feel a bit embarrassed.
“Why are there so many big jars in the yard?” She coughed lightly, changing the subject.
“Madam said that when this year’s green plums are ripe, she wants to make wine. The weather’s good recently, so she had so of the clay jars brought out to sun.” Mainly because Liang Yun had once ntioned that the wine made from green plums could be saved for their son’s wedding feast. The plums weren’t ripe yet, but the Huo family couldn’t wait.
“Homade green plum wine?” Shen Shuci raised an eyebrow.
“We still have so at ho, I’ll get you to try it.” The Huo family imdiately took out a transparent bottle from a cupboard.
The amber liquid had dozens of green plums settling at the bottom. The aroma mixed with the fragrance of green plum was inviting when opened.
Shen Shuci wasn’t fond of alcohol, but she hadn’t tried homade wine before, so she couldn’t resist a few sips.
With so many n in the Huo family, this wine ca out with a high alcohol content. She only took a few small sips, and her face was already flushed red.
“Don’t drink anymore. I’ll take you back to rest.” Huo Qinqi carried her luggage and guided her to their room.
Her mind was still clear but a bit dazed, “This wine is too strong.”
“Mhm.” Huo Qinqi held her hand, clearly feeling the heat radiating from the girl’s palm and backhand, hotter than his own, almost burning.
He knew full well that last night was hard on her. Bringing her ho today was ant for her to rest well. After sending her back to the room, he hugged her gently and kissed her forehead before leaving, “Rest early.”
Shen Shuci leaned against his chest, wrapping her arms around his waist, rubbing her head against his chest unconsciously.
This wine is really strong; it hit her suddenly, making her feel hot all over.
