When Huo Heng got home, he saw a beautician coming over to the living room to do some maintenance.
“Mom, where’s Little Camellia?”
“After taking care of you last night, Cha Cha was tired, so she’s resting!”
Huo Heng strode upstairs.
He pushed open the guest room door and looked inside.
Xia Cha was not on the bed. Huo Heng frowned and strode in.
There was a note on the bedside table: Auntie, I still have something on. I’ll leave first.
Huo Heng’s face darkened.. He crumpled the note into a ball and threw it into the rubbish bin.
She had to be partic.i.p.ating in that compet.i.tion!
He had caught a cold last night and asked her to take care of him for the entire night, but he still couldn’t make her stay!
Was he still unable to escape his fate in this lifetime?
…
After Huo Third Master left the hotel, he was about to take a private plane back to Harbor City.
The three judges rushed to the helipad.
Just before the plane took off, they got in touch with Huo Third Master.
The three judges described Xia Cha’s situation.
“The young lady’s singing is ethereal and beautiful. The three of us are amazed. Third Master, why don’t you stay for another day and let the young lady come for the second round tomorrow?”
Although Third Master Huo had asked the partic.i.p.ants to sing Xia Tang’s song during the first selection, no one dared to mention Xia Tang in front of Third Master usually.
The three judges didn’t dare to say that the young lady looked a little like Xia Tang.
“Third Master, you have an important meeting tomorrow morning,” Huo Third Master’s secretary reminded him.
Huo Third Master sat by the window, his long legs crossed elegantly as his well-defined fingers tapped lightly on his knees. All these years, time had treated him well and even though he had been through a lot, his handsome face had not aged at all and he still had that cold and handsome look.
“Call her and ask her to retake the test. Record the video and send it to my email.”
To be able to get all three judges to give her good reviews, she must have some ability.
In the past two years, he had seen too many capable singers, but none of them had reached Xia Tang’s level.
At the thought of Xia Tang, a trace of sadness appeared in Huo Third Master’s clear eyes.
…
Xia Cha returned to the school dormitory from the hotel.
She did not have much hope of entering the second round.
After taking a shower, Xia Cha lay on the bed and read a book.
The sky darkened and her eyelids became heavy.
While she was in a daze, she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
Xia Cha suddenly opened her eyes.
All students were on vacation and the students in the dormitory had already gone back.
She also planned to go back tomorrow. At this moment, she was the only one in the dormitory.
However, there was a janitor auntie downstairs. Most people couldn’t enter.
At this time, the person knocking on the door should be the janitor auntie, right?
Xia Cha got off the bed and walked to the door, “Who is it?”
“Me.”
Hearing the man’s hoa.r.s.e voice, Xia Cha’s heart jumped.
Why was Young Master Huo here?
She was not surprised that he could enter the female dormitory. After all, he knew Director Wu.
“It’s getting late. Why are you looking for me?”
“Open the door.”
Although she could not see him, Xia Cha could tell from his voice that he had drunk.
Could it be that he was drunk and came here to make a din?
“Little Camellia, if you don’t open it, I’ll kick the door open.”
Xia Cha frowned and opened the door.
The man stood lazily with one hand on the wall beside the door frame. When he saw her opening the door, he stared at her with his amorous eyes.
His eyes were slightly red and misty. When he looked at her with that gaze, it was extremely dangerous.
“Little Camellia, what did you do this afternoon?”
“I went to partic.i.p.ate in the preliminary round.” Xia Cha did not intend to hide it from him. Besides, she did not think it was something shameful.
The corner of Huo Heng’s lips twitched as he smiled mysteriously. “Have you seen him?”
“Who?”
“Do you still have feelings for him, hmm?” He leaned toward her lazily and pinched her chin with his slender fingers. His breath, which smelled like alcohol, landed on her face. “What do you want me to do for you to have a place in your heart?”
Xia Cha looked at the sadness in the man’s eyes and was slightly stunned.
Had he been badly hurt by a woman in the past and found a trace of that woman in her? Was he drunk now and treated her as that woman?
Xia Cha turned her face away, avoiding his affectionate and melancholic eyes. “Young Master Huo, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Y-you’ve gotten the wrong person…”
Before Xia Cha could finish speaking, the man hugged her slender body tightly.
He hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to pull her into his blood and bones.
…
Although he had drunk quite a bit, it was a good thing that he was not making a scene.
After hugging her for a while, he fell asleep on her bed.
Even though he had fallen asleep, he was still frowning with a heavy heart. It was a far cry from his usual cold, arrogant, and wild self.
Xia Cha sat by the bed and looked at the tall and curled up body. He looked like a helpless child. She raised her hand and stroked the creases between his eyebrows.
Xia Cha slept in another cla.s.smate’s bed for the night.
She woke up around seven.
She took her basin and went out to wash up.
Huo Heng was woken up by his phone ringing.
He thought it was his cell phone. He narrowed his long and narrow amorous eyes, took the cell phone and placed it by his ear.
A man’s voice sounded from the other end of the phone. “Excuse me, are you Student Xia? I’m a judge from Star King Entertainment. We told Big Boss about your situation yesterday and he agreed to give you a chance to take the second round. It’s at ten in the morning today. Do you have time to come over for the second round?”
Huo Heng immediately sobered up.
He stood up from the bed and walked to the balcony with his phone.
“Student Xia, are you listening?”
“She won’t be taking the second round.”
“Um… you are…”
“I’m her fiancé. She’s still a high school student and she has to focus on her studies. Please don’t disturb her!”
Huo Heng hung up.
His tall body leaned against the railing. Suddenly, he realized that something was wrong. He looked back.
Her gaze met a pair of angry eyes.
Obviously, Xia Cha heard what he just said.
“Young Master Huo, you picked up my call without my permission and even made a decision for me without my permission. Don’t you think this is too much?”
Huo Heng had one hand in his pocket and the other held her phone tightly. He looked at her with a confused expression. “I told you not to go yesterday. Why didn’t you listen?”
“You have no right to decide on my matters.” Xia Cha walked up to Huo Heng. “Give me my phone.”
As Huo Heng looked at Xia Cha’s stubborn little face, countless things surfaced in his mind. In this lifetime, he would never let her go.
He waved his hand and her phone was thrown into the flower bed downstairs.
