In the age of rebirth, the toughest man who retired from marriage

Chapter 21: Chapter 21

·
Xie Mingzhu in her previous life really didn't know that Huo Xuan liked her. After all, they had a very good relationship since they were young, and she never thought about that.

But she is not a little girl now, and she has experienced so many things, she naturally knows that Huo Xuan has more than just friendship with her.

"Huo Xuan..."

As soon as she called his name, he had already let go of her, and then interrupted her: "What do you want to eat tonight? I went to the county seat today and bought some meat. I will make braised pork for you tonight." Is the meat good?"

Xie Mingzhu looked at him intently, only to see that the expression on his face was as usual, the fragile appearance just now seemed to be her illusion.

Before she could speak, he rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen.

While walking, he said: "You go back to the house to rest first, and I will call you when the meal is ready."

Turning around, the expression on his face became annoyed, apparently feeling that he was a little too reckless just now.

He didn't dare to listen to Xie Mingzhu's next words, he was afraid that she would drive him away and never let him approach again.

Sometimes, he also loathes his own timidity.

However, the disparity in status made him shrink back again and again.

She is a much-loved eldest lady, but she is just the son of her nanny.

Even his mother once told him that even if her family is in trouble, they are not comparable to them, so let him not wishful thinking.

In his previous life, he was also far away from her, but the final result was her tragic death.

Thinking of this, Huo Xuan's eyes suddenly became firm again, he turned around and walked outside again.

When they came to the yard, Xie Mingzhu was no longer in the yard.

I took a look in the room, but it was still not there.

Huo Xuan frowned tightly, looked around the yard, and finally looked at the toilet.

Sighing lightly, he returned to the kitchen again.

Xie Mingzhu didn't actually go to the toilet, but felt a little out of breath, went out of the yard, and wanted to take a walk outside.

It was dark outside, and the air was extremely hot. It looked like it was going to rain soon.

After walking aimlessly for a while, she turned around and prepared to go back when the sky outside gradually began to darken.

When I arrived at the gate of the yard, I hesitated for a while, wondering whether I should enter the yard or not.

To be honest, she doesn't know how to face Huo Xuan now.

Huo Xuan was about to come out to look for her, when he saw her standing at the gate of the yard kicking stones, his eyes flickered slightly.

Then, he raised a smile and said to her with a smile: "What are you doing standing at the door? Dinner is ready, come back and wash your hands and eat."

Not a word about what just happened.

Xie Mingzhu was still a little apprehensive, but after hearing what he said, she relaxed a little.

In fact, she herself didn't understand how she felt about Huo Xuan.

Huo Xuan is indeed very good, she has always thought so.

It's just that she really isn't ready to accept a new relationship right now.

She breathed a sigh of relief invisibly, and Huo Xuan kept staring at her, naturally he didn't hide his gaze.

Sighing slightly, he acted as if nothing had happened, and urged with a smile, "What are you still standing there for? Prepare to wash your hands and eat."

Xie Mingzhu smiled and nodded slightly.

In the evening, I cooked rice, a plate of braised pork, a plate of fried vegetables, and a bowl of cabbage tofu soup.

It's very simple, and the amount is not too much, just enough for the two of them to eat, and there will be no waste.

Huo Xuan's cooking skills are still as good as ever, and the food he cooks is delicious.

During the meal, neither of them said anything, so Huo Xuan asked if it was good, and she replied that it was delicious, and said nothing else.

The atmosphere was rather awkward.

After dinner, Xie Mingzhu was going to collect the bowl, but Huo Xuan stopped her.

"Let me do it!"

As he said that, he quickly put away the dishes and chopsticks, and then went to wash them.

Xie Mingzhu nodded, without saying anything, turned around and left the kitchen.

Huo Xuan glanced back at her, a trace of annoyance flashed across his face again.

Originally, the atmosphere between the two of them was quite good, and it was all his fault that he couldn't bear his temper, but now the good atmosphere has become like this.

Huo Xuan sighed.

At the same time, he was still thinking about how to ease the embarrassment between the two of them.

Not long after dinner, there was the sound of thunder outside.

Huo Xuan was still boiling water for taking a bath at night. Seeing that his clothes were still hanging on the rope in the yard, Xie Mingzhu got up and went outside to help him put them away.

Just as he was about to come out of his room, he appeared at the door.

The expression on Xie Mingzhu's face became awkward, and she quickly explained: "I saw that it started to rain outside, and your clothes were still hanging outside, so I took them in for you."

Huo Xuan nodded, and only said, "Thank you."

Xie Mingzhu quickly waved her hands, and ran out as if fleeing.

Huo Xuan looked at the back of her fleeing in a hurry, and shook his head helplessly.

Made him look like a jackal.

Back in her room, Xie Mingzhu calmed down her breathing.

Holding down his fast beating heart, he took a few deep breaths, only then did he feel that his breathing was not so fast.

I don't know if it's because of the rainy weather and hot weather, but she feels stuffy in her chest, as if she can't breathe.

Outside the door, Huo Xuan's voice came over: "Mingzhu, the hot water is ready, do you want to wash it now? Shall I bring you the tub in?"

Xie Mingzhu responded, originally planning to say that she was here to move, but when she opened the door, she saw Huo Xuan already standing at the door with a wooden bucket for bathing.

"Thank you." Xie Mingzhu stammered.

Between the two of them, there was an unexpected politeness.

Huo Xuan gave a soft "um", didn't say anything, just turned around and went out to fetch her bath water.

After fetching the bath water, Huo Xuan went out again without saying a word.

Xie Mingzhu looked at his back, and subconsciously called out to him, "Huo Xuan!"

Huo Xuan looked back at her, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Huh?"

Xie Mingzhu opened her mouth, then shook her head and said, "It's okay."

After a pause, he said again, "Go out and close the door for me."

Huo Xuan smiled and nodded slightly.

When going out, he helped her close the door.

Xie Mingzhu raised her hand and patted her head, then shook her head vigorously, as if she wanted to throw out some messy things.

After finding out a change of clothes and sitting in the steaming water, I felt a little more comfortable in an instant.

The brain that has been blocked all the time seems to be unblocked now.
