Chapter 1086: Thank you, true(1/2)
"Brother, brother, get up!"
On the first morning of Jidong, Meng Huo had just gotten up and knocked on the door.
"I'll go out right away, it's true..." Meng Huo heard that it was Xia Chuan's real voice. He put on his clothes, tidied his hair in front of the mirror, and then walked out of the room.
Xia Chuan was standing at the door, and Meng Huo was stunned: "What are you dressing up?"
"Kimo!" Xia Chuan was wearing a pink kimono and walked around in front of Meng Huo, saying, "This is developed from Han costume. Does your brother like it?"
"It's very beautiful, I prefer Chinese costume!"
Meng Huo laughed and said that many areas in the extreme east still maintain the habit of wearing ancient costumes on important days. Although not everyone can wear them, it is not surprising to wear them when they go out. There are some ethnic minorities in other parts of China, and the Han people do not have this tradition.
Although traditional Chinese costumes have been preserved, they are mostly used as ritual and performative places, which cannot be said to be a pity.
"What day is today? Why are you dressed so beautifully?"
Meng Huo asked, looking at Xia Chuan, who was walking beside him.
"Today, my brother promised me to go out and play!" Xia Chuan said happily: "I want to wear beautiful clothes. Many people wear kimonos after the Spring Festival!"
Meng Huo thought about it and found that he had seen some women in kimonos on the way he came yesterday, so he didn't continue to ask.
When we arrived at the living room, the three generations of the Xiachuan family had already taken their seats. There was a hot breakfast on the table. Xiachuan Ryoko warmly invited Meng Huo to sit down.
"Did Teacher He Xi get used to sleeping last night?" After taking the seat, the old man in the middle asked Meng Huo. This was Xia Chuan's real grandfather. While asking Meng Huo, he looked at his granddaughter and thought to himself that this girl had always been holding her face before, but He Xi changed as soon as she came. It has been a long time since he saw his granddaughter so happy.
“I slept well.”
Meng Huo replied that when he came here yesterday, he had already booked a room in the hotel. However, after meeting Xia Chuanzhen, she took him home and did not let him stay in the hotel.
Everyone in the Xiachuan family attaches great importance to Meng Huo's arrival. The real grandfather and father obviously respect Meng Huo when facing him, and did not underestimate him because of his age.
‘He Xi’ is obviously a very special existence to the Xiachuan family. It can be said to be a benefactor or a noble person. The Xiachuan family will naturally take care of him very carefully.
This family is not an ordinary family. Xia Chuan is already a well-known star in Jidong. Their family is also respected nearby. They have nannies and bodyguards, as well as drivers and two cars.
"After becoming a voice actor, our family has become famous nearby. It's not possible without a nanny or a driver..."
During breakfast, Xia Chuan's true grandfather liked to tell Meng Huo about his granddaughter. He was always full of pride when he talked about it. However, Xia Chuan was uneasy on the side and his cheeks were red when he was praised.
"You are going to worship the temple later, right?"
After breakfast, Ryoko Natsukawa said to the two.
"Yes, Zhen said, take me to see..." Meng Huo looked at Xia Chuan Zhen, and nodded and said, "I want to go and ask for a root sign before leaving home."
"There is a long way. Take a bus and I'll let the driver follow you." Ryoko Nakachi smiled and said, "There is no need to arrange the bodyguard."
"How can you not arrange a bodyguard?" Xia Chuan's real grandfather shouted: "It's dangerous to go out with Teacher He Xi."
'It seems that He Xi could eat the truth.' When Liangzi Xia Chuan thought so, she knew that her father meant that He Xi and her daughter were both celebrities, and there would be danger without a bodyguard, but his words really sounded like she couldn't help but have ambiguity.
‘If there is that danger, things will be easier…’
Xia Chuan Ryoko sighed in her heart. She was very worried about her daughter. She was stubborn and had no idea whose genes she inherited.
"It doesn't matter..." However, on the surface, Ryoko Xia Chuan showed no thoughts. She smiled and said to her father: "Don't look at Teacher He Xi's kindness. When fighting, it is much more useful than the bodyguards in our family. He can protect the truth."
Xia Chuan nodded quickly, and she had seen Meng Huo get angry. That was no worse than the professional bodyguard.
"Really?"
The old man from Xiachuan's family looked at Meng Huo suspiciously when he saw his wife and granddaughter so sure.
Meng Huo smiled bitterly and nodded, "I will protect her, don't worry!"
The old man was still a little suspicious, but in the end he reluctantly agreed to let the two of them leave. Meng Huo took the lead in wearing a mask and walked out. Xia Chuan was really following behind, but was stopped by his mother.
"Wait, really, change into a scarf." Ryoko Natsukawa took a scarf from the living room and wrapped it on her daughter, then took off her mask, and whispered: "This one is more beautiful than a mask."
Ryoko Xia Chuan blinked, and Xia Chuan nodded slightly red: "Thank you, mom."
"Bon Voyage."
Ryoko Xia Chuan waved goodbye to the two.
There is a place called Bailan Mountain in the small town of Xiachuan, with a Bailan Temple on it. Meng Huo was not interested in worshiping the temple, but his purpose this time was to accompany Xiachuan.
It was very early, and the driver sent the two to the foot of the mountain, and they walked up the mountain. The mountain was unexpectedly high. It took more than half an hour to reach the top of the mountain. At this time, Xia Chuan was already sweating a lot.
Meng Huo saw a vending machine on the side of the road on the top of the mountain. He took out his pocket and happened to have a few coins, so he bought two bottles of milk tea.
"Give it!" Meng Huo handed the milk tea to Xia Chuanzhen. Looking at the temple on the top of the mountain, it was not a simple temple, and it was sorted out very clean. There were many cars parked in the parking lot in front of the temple, and there were also roads bent to the foot of the mountain.
"It turns out that you can drive up. Why don't you ask the driver to take us up!"
"This will make you feel dissatisfied." Xia Chuan wiped his sweat and said while drinking milk tea: "Mom said, please be more sincere when you ask for signing."
"I didn't expect you to be quite superstitious."
"...This is not superstition." Xia Chuan pouted: "This is the rule. You have to be sincere in everything you do to succeed."
Meng Huo laughed.
After drinking the milk tea, the two walked into the temple. Meng Huo successfully asked for a family visa, but it turned out to be Ji. He didn't know what Xia Chuan really asked for, but looking at her face, the result was obviously not bad either.
I stayed on the mountain for half an hour, and was carried by the driver when I went down the mountain, but the two of them did not return to Xia Chuan's house.
Xia Chuan really wanted to introduce her hometown to Meng Huo, so he asked the driver to take them to a place that carries her memory.
"This is Linghua Street... we used to call it Pocket Money Street. When I was a child, I always passed by here, and there were a lot of snacks I liked..."
She pulled Meng Huo off the car on an old street and led him to introduce the street. Although the street was old, there were a lot of pedestrians, and the town seemed very warm.
"I've actually been here."
Meng Huo said.
"I know, have you and Sister Shen Jie come before?" Xia Chuan looked back at Meng Huo. After Meng Huo nodded, she said again: "Sister Chen Jie must not know much as I know. This is my home."
Meng Huo smiled and said, why is this child fighting? Chen Jie certainly doesn't know much about this place, but he was taken to play with by the locals back then.
After knowing that Xia Chuan's real home was here, Meng Huo still wanted to talk to those people, but after thinking about it carefully, he would just forget it. He couldn't stand the warm hospitality.
"I remember the dim sum in this dim sum house is pretty good. Let's go in and buy it?"
Meng Huo saw a dim sum house on the roadside. It was a dim sum shop run by an old couple. Its craftsmanship is very old, although it is not particularly delicious. It is very distinctive.
"I originally wanted to introduce you to this place..."
Xia Chuan really pouted her face. Her expression today was particularly rich, but only Meng Huo could see it.
The thick scarf wrapped around Xia Chuan's real neck and half of her face below, and the effect was similar to a mask. No one discovered her identity along the way.
But I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Xia Chuanzhen made a slight hole in the scarf. Meng Huo, who was standing next to her, was one head taller than her, and could look down at her face with a side look.
After buying two bags of snacks, Meng Huo and the others continued to move forward while eating. In order to avoid being discovered, Xia Chuan was always as careful as a mouse when eating snacks.
"You eat more trouble than me. Are you not afraid of being discovered?" Meng Huo teased and said, "It's better to eat it all for me."
Xia Chuan shook his head: "As long as you are careful and don't get too close to others, others will not find it is me."
She didn't want to hand over the snacks to Meng Huo. She still had many places to take him to see, and took him to take a lot of medicine. What if he was full first?
But in fact, she was not very worried. Meng Huo was slandering, but he was very careful in his actions to prevent others from discovering Xia Chuan's true nature. Whenever someone approached her, he would pull her.
Meng Huo also knew that scarves were not easy to conceal, so he protected Xia Chuan all the way and prevented her from getting too close to others.
Xia Chuan's heart was filled with joy. She felt that her mother was so amazing.
"There is an elementary school I went to. There is a ramen shop next to me. When I was a child, my father would take him there to eat noodles. The ramen was delicious, not worse than the Lanzhou ramen outside..."
On the next road, Xia Chuanzhen introduced Meng Huo to her elementary school, the road she walked in her childhood, and she ate noodles with him in a ramen shop next to the school, chatting all the way, but she looked very happy.
In one day, Xia Chuanzhen took Meng Huo to visit the entire town. He had never seen Xia Chuanzhen so happy. When he heard her happy voice, he felt at ease.
“Fireworks can be seen on this hillside.”
After the night turned dark, Xia Chuanzhen took Meng Huo to a rally and watched a fireworks performance on the hillside next to him.
Sitting on the hillside, there are many people nearby, young people, families, and everyone is watching fireworks together. In Meng Huo's memory, this scene can only be seen in the animation.
It was not the first time he saw the fireworks, but it was the first time he felt the fireworks in the comics, which was very fresh.
However, there will always be an end to a fulfilling day. After the fireworks dissipated, the two had to walk towards the road of return. This time, Meng Huo walked in front, and Xia Chuan was really half a step behind him, and walked quietly behind.
"That's all I have..."
"What?"
Meng Huo turned around.
"I handed over all my own to my brother." Xia Chuan Zhen pulled up the scarf and said, "I handed over all my hometown to my brother from childhood to adulthood."
When she debuted at Phoenix Company and became a famous voice actor, Xia Chuan truly felt that she had devoted herself to this man. Since she was discovered that day, she had handed over her life to him.
Today, she handed him more, not only the past but the future.
The two continued to move forward.
"Brother is so awesome..."
"What's so awesome?"
To be continued...
