The Imperious President and His Pampered Young Wife

22. His Encouragement

Translator: 灵芝11

The greatest happiness was not piled up by money, and the greatest warmth was not bathing in the sun.

It was my left hand holding your right hand!

Huo Xiu opened the door and walked on. Before her eyes was a scene of magnificence as if she had suddenly barged into a fairy tale. This kind of feeling she had also experienced a long time ago when she arrived at the Huo Family as she clearly remembered.

There were golden doors. The warm yellow castle-like teaching buildings were stacked tier upon tier. The trees gave welcome shade and the flowers were in full bloom everywhere. And there wasn’t a speck of dust anywhere on the floor. Standing at the school gate, she was stunned. Was this the place where she would study at?

It seemed she was still in a dream. She pinched her own cheek, it hurt. She blinked dumbly, revealing a happy smile!

There were countless young boys and girls passing by, who wore the same school uniform and showed the same nobility.

On the first school day, it was always bustling. Those who could study at here were all born with a silver spoon in their mouths. When they saw Huo Xiu standing at the door, whose face wass smudged with dirt, they were all pointing and laughing at her with disdain on their faces.

“Where is this monster from? Why didn’t she wash her face?”

“She is so ugly! Does she carry infectious diseases?”

“Could it be the beggar picked up our uniform and pretended to be a student?”

All kinds of venomous personal attacks reached Huo Xue’s ears and also came to Huo Xue’s as well as Huo Yijun’s ears, who had just got out of the car behind.

Huo Xiu gave a forced smile, feeling a little sad in her heart. But she didn’t show it on her face. ‘Don’t take what they said to heart. Never mind!’ She said to herself secretly.

“That’s enough. I don’t want others to know that she is my family.” Huo Xue stamped her foot in anger in the distance. Even so, the boys who passed by Huo Xue would turn round to look at her, for she was the goddess in their hearts.

Huo Xue was so proud that she poured scorn on these boys, who was not to her liking. She came closer to Huo Yijun. Such an outstanding boy was worthy of her!

“Look! It’s Huo Xue and Huo Yijun. Oh my god! They are so perfect! It seems they were born for each other!”

Huo Xue smiled from ear to ear. With her vanity piqued, she linked her arm through his coyly.

Huo Yijun lowered his head. “Take Xiu to the classroom. You are in the same class.” He looked at Huo Xiu, who was lonely but pretended to be unconcerned in the distance, feeling his eyes were misty for a moment.

“No, I don’t want to!” Huo Xue pouted angrily to act cute. She didn’t believe that Yijun would like such an ugly girl like Huo Xiu more.

“If you don’t want to, I’ll take her to the classroom.” He pulled Huo Xue’s hand, strode toward Huo Xiu and took her hand, walking into the school without looking back.

“Yijun, you’re crazy.” Huo Xue shouted angrily from behind. ‘Huo Xiu, this is not over.’ Her eyes were filled with maliciousness while looking at Huo Xiu.

In the early morning, the school instantly became noisy. The exclamations, scrams and sounds of crying rang out continuously.

“Let go of me!” Huo Xiu wanted to shake off his hand, but he grabbed her tighter.

He just kept walking with her hand in his without saying a word or looking back. His shadow covered hers in the sun. He smiled gently. In the future, he would take her hand this way and never let her go!

She didn’t resist him any more, allowing him to hold her hand. His hand was very big and warm, setting her mind at ease gradually in unfamiliar surroundings, for she realised that she was not alone!

Passing a music room covered all over with roses, a greensward, a magnificent fountain with the statue of an angel, they finally stopped in front of the teaching building of junior middle department.

“The second classroom on the second floor.” Huo Yijun pointed to the direction of the classroom, turned around and smiled, pretending to be very serious. “Xiu, you should study hard, understand? Otherwise, I’ll spank you!”

Huo Xiu threw off his hand blushingly and rushed into the teaching building quickly without even saying thanks.
