What if My Brother is Too Good?
chapter-59

Huo Wu rubbed her drowsy eyes and murmured, “It’s cold.”

In her groggy state, Huo Wu could only make out half of what Xiao Wang was saying. “President Huo, I’m sorry. It’s all because of my negligence… The car is out of fuel…. There is no gas station nearby… Why don’t I call the villa and ask them to send another car over?”

Huo Wu’s sleepiness gradually disappeared while she listened to Xiao Wang.

When she completely awakened, she realized that she had actually fallen asleep in Huo Yusen’s embrace!

No wonder she slept so peacefully, it was because Huo Yusen was acting as her bed.

Huo rubbed her eyes again and sat up from Huo Yusen’s embrace.

She looked out the car window.

The scenery outside was very familiar to her. They weren’t far from the Huo Family’s villa right now. It was only a ten-minute walk from here to the villa.

Huo Wu turned around and looked at Huo Yusen and asked, “Brother, did the car run out of fuel?”

“Yes, did we wake you up?”

Xiao Wang turned around in the driver’s seat and apologized to Huo Wu when she woke up, “Miss, I’m sorry.”

Huo Wu shook her head, indicating that it was fine. Then she turned to Huo Yusen and said, “Brother, let’s walk back home.”

Huo Yusen glanced at his watch, and he saw that it was already one o’clock in the morning. It would take at least an hour before another car was sent over, so instead of being delayed here, it would be better if he listened to Huo Wu’s advice and walked back to the villa by feet.

With that in mind, he said bluntly, “Okay.”

Xiao Wang quickly tried to stop them, “President Huo, it’s still snowing outside. You might catch a cold if you walk home in the freezing cold weather.”

Huo Wu tilted her head, “But it will only take ten minutes to walk back to the villa. It will only be a short walk.”

“Let’s head back on foot then.” As soon as those words left his mouth, Huo Yusen got out of the car. Huo Wu followed after him and got out of the car too.

There was only one umbrella in the car, but the umbrella was big enough for both Huo Wu and Huo Yusen.

Although Xiao Wang wanted to change his mind, he knew that Huo Yusen had already made his decision. Once Huo Yusen made his decision, he would not change it, so Xiao Wang could only remain quiet.

Huo Yusen instructed Xiao Wang to remain here until someone came for him. After he left the instruction, Huo Yusen opened the umbrella and left with Huo Wu.

Huo Yusen’s shoulders were exposed to the snow because he leaned the umbrella more towards Huo Wu. Huo Wu hid under the umbrella. Although the wind was still blowing fiercely around her, she felt a sense of security because there was a brother standing next to her who was willing to shelter her from the wind and rain.

Huo Wu suddenly recalled her past life. She was working alone in the capital.

When she first arrived at the capital, she was penniless. She could only rent a cold and narrow apartment in the basement with someone else. The basements in those houses were extremely cold. When it snowed, the temperature dropped even further.

However, she had no choice since she couldn’t afford anything else.

When she slept in the cold basement, she dreamt that she might one day become the little match girl, selling matches to survive the winter.

Like the little girl who sold matches, she longed for warmth and kindness, but the reality was harsh. They could only helplessly live in the cold barren winter.

Huo Wu looked at the grand villa not far away from them, when she suddenly said, “Brother, if I’m the little match girl, then I would definitely see you after I light up three matches.

T/N: When the little match girl lit up the third match, she saw the person she loved/longed for the most. So, Huo Wu is saying that she really likes him.

Huo Wu initially wanted to hold Huo Yusen’s golden thigh. She knew that it wouldn’t be a simple task, but after interacting with him for a few days, she discovered Huo Yusen’s warm and gentle side.

He stayed beside her and comforted her when she was sick with a fever. When she was having a nightmare, he would coax her by saying, “Don’t be afraid, brother is here.”

T/N: Little Match Girl – It’s a fairy tale about a poor young girl who failed to sell any matches. She lit a match to warm herself up and in the flame. The flames showed her comforting visions of food, warmth, and her deceased grandmother (the only person who cared for her). She wanted to prolong the vision of her grandmother in flames, so she lit match after match to keep seeing her grandmother. When she ran out of matches, she died in the frozen cold night.
