At six o'clock in the afternoon, Meng Huo returned home.∮

"So many desserts." As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Qin sitting on the sofa watching TV. There were many desserts placed on the table in front of her, only a small portion of them were eaten. Meng Huo quickly put down his bag, sat beside her, picked up a piece of osmanthus crisps and ate it: "Mom, did you go to He Xizhi's house today?"

"Yes." Li Qin poured a glass of water for Meng Huo and said with a smile: "Qin Ya took me there, don't be anxious... Eat slowly, there are still many in the refrigerator."

Qin Ya and Ling Shuang have left, but Ling Shuang has brought a lot of desserts, enough to make Meng Huo eat for a day.

"I get it." Meng Huo nodded. He was eating desserts and his eyes turned to TV. The TV was broadcasting "Clannad", and Li Qin had not stopped during this period and had been watching this animation.

"Next week, the plot of "clannad" on each TV station will be different, right?"

Li Qin asked looking at the animation.

"Yeah." Meng Huo nodded. The common plot of "clannad" is about to end. Starting next week, the animation will enter different story routes: "Mom, which line are you going to watch? Or watch them all?"

He knew that some viewers were going to watch it all, because the broadcast time of each TV station was different, and it was not impossible to watch it all. But Li Qin would not do this: "I want to watch the girl in the library. Her name is Qinmei, right... If so many girls are watching it all, my head will be messy."

Every Thursday, four routes, different stories are broadcast every day and updated every week, and many viewers cannot adapt to watching them all.

Meng Huo smiled: "How could you read Qinmei's story? Could it be because her name has the same word as yours?"

"Will I be so casual?" Li Qin patted Meng Huo's head and said, "I heard from Teacher Hua Meng that Qin's beautiful line is the most touching. In addition, you are responsible for this line... Of course I have to support it."

Meng Huo raised his eyebrows. Qin Mei's line is indeed touching. But it is not certain to say "the most". But he also recognized Hua Meng's suggestion, because compared with other lines, this line best reflects the meaning of "home" and "family affection".

The other lines are bigger and prominent in love, and Nagisa's parents are also very touching, but how to say it, Meng Huo thinks it would be better to watch together after the second part is released - so he supports Li Qin's choice very much.

The next day, Li Qin prepared breakfast for Meng Huo early in the morning and then talked about going to the Meng family.

"I know. I'll ask someone to pick you up later." Meng Huo nodded and asked, "When will you come back?"

"I won't come back." Li Qin's answer made Meng Huo stunned. She smiled, and then continued: "I came here this time just to see your condition. I feel relieved to see that you are still so healthy. Besides, your work is so busy, it is not convenient for me to be here."

During the chat with Qin Ya yesterday, Li Qin learned about Meng Huo's busyness. Meng Huo had to go to paint in the evening, but he came back early at 6 o'clock. Li Qin felt that he would disturb Meng Huo here, so she decided not to come back.

"I will stay at the Meng family for a while and then go home directly." Li Qin said to Meng Huo: "No surprise. I won't go back here."

Meng Huo was a little silent. Every time he was like this, he felt that he felt guilty about Li Qin. But he has been very busy with work recently. Even if Li Qin stayed here, he would leave Li Qin alone at home. It would be better to let her go to the Meng family to accompany the old lady.

"I understand." Meng Huo did not try to keep Li Qin. He apologized to Li Qin: "After this busy period is over, I will take some time to accompany you."

After breakfast, Meng Huo delayed work time. When he saw Li Qin suggesting the gift she bought for Ninghai's cartoonists, he frowned slightly - what were the assistants thinking? Li Qin finally saw him once, and they regarded her as a porter?

But Meng Huo did not complain in front of Li Qin. He helped Li Qin pick up the things, then opened the door and walked out.

"By the way, Xiaohuo... Is anyone living opposite you?" Li Qin asked after leaving the door.

"No." Meng Huo shook his head: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'll ask..." Li Qin glanced at the apartment opposite. In fact, after sending Qin Ya and Ling Shuang away yesterday afternoon, she seemed to have heard something outside, but when she came out, she saw nothing.

"Maybe I'm too worried..." Li Qin thought so, then took Meng Huo into the elevator and said, "You will ask the driver to take me to He Xizhi's house later. I'll buy some desserts to bring to your grandma."

"Just tell him this." Meng Huo replied: "He will listen to you."

The driver who came to pick up Li Qin was not his driver. How could the people from Phoenix Company be allowed to enter the garden of the Meng family? This was the driver he informed the Meng family and of course there were several bodyguards. As their nominal young grandmother, no one dared not to listen to Li Qin's words.

Meng Huo bid farewell to Li Qin downstairs. He only left and started his day's work after the car disappeared.

Li Qin's coming this time made him feel a sense of need again, which was a desire to return to Ninghai. It is difficult for Li Qin to leave Ninghai's life now, but it is not a solution to continue like this. Meng Huo hopes to put some of his work back to Ninghai one day.

Manga Island cannot be abandoned, and Meng Huo did not want to return to Ninghai, but at least, he hoped that he would put at least one-third of his working hours back to Ninghai and could go back to Ninghai to stay for a few days a week with Li Qin.

But it is impossible with the current model of Phoenix Company. Ninghai does not have much of their open space. If Meng Huo forced himself to work in Ninghai, he would definitely be strongly rebounded by Zhongxia Company.

"It seems that I have to wait for more than two years..." Meng Huo thought in his mind, but in the end he still had to wait for the agreed time with Dong Ding to pass. More than half a year has passed in a flash. More than two years have passed, and it doesn't seem like it takes a long time.

He could afford to wait, and the agreement expired was when Meng Huo returned to Ninghai - and also when he got Zhongxia.

Before that, Meng Huo must develop comic island more vigorously until it becomes a comic holy place where other companies, including Zhongxia Company, are out of reach and no one can challenge, so Zhongxia Company will be willing to accept the loss.

"It is not reliable to place your hope entirely on Dong Ding..."

Meng Huo did not completely believe Dong Ding's words. Even if the old man wanted to win Zhongxia, it was really possible whether he could defeat Zhongxia's internal struggle. Therefore, the key to victory or defeat was the comparison of strength. Phoenix Company must overwhelm Zhongxia comprehensively, so that they could not resist.
