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

Chapter 22: Chapter 22

·
After taking a bath, Xie Mingzhu had just opened the door when Huo Xuan, who was sitting in the yard, saw her and got up to pour the bath water for her.

Xie Mingzhu quickly reached out to stop him: "You don't need to come, I can do it myself."

If in the past, when she was injured, Huo Xuan came to help her pour the bath water, she would definitely not think there was any problem.

But things are a little different now.

Huo Xuan looked up at her, didn't pay attention, but said: "Don't take what I just said to heart, I just said it casually."

As soon as the words fell, I almost bit my tongue.

Obviously, those are all my sincere words, but now that I say that, it seems to be deliberately teasing her.

After saying this, the expression on Xie Mingzhu's face became even more cramped.

The two of you looked at me and I looked at you, the awkward atmosphere almost overflowed the room.

Huo Xuan couldn't hold on at first, picked up the tub and walked outside.

I poured water into the vegetable field behind, and he never appeared again.

The weather outside is getting hotter and hotter, and the thunder is getting louder and louder.

After a while, it began to rain heavily outside.

The rainwater seemed to be free of money, and it slammed on the ground, splashing one after another, and splashing into the room.

Xie Mingzhu closed the door and windows to block the rainwater from entering.

Sitting by the window, watching the rain hit the window, many past events flashed through my mind.

The more I thought about it, the more confused my mind became, so I just stopped thinking about it and lay down on the bed, ready to sleep.

Drowsy, like falling asleep or not falling asleep, suddenly heard a loud "bang", the whole person woke up suddenly, and sat up from the bed with a grunt.

The sound of rain outside was still loud, and there was still a faint sound of thunder.

No other voice could be heard again.

It was as if it was just a dream she had.

Putting on her coat, she stood at the window and glanced outside.

The rain was all on the glass, and it was impossible to see the situation outside.

Just when she was thinking about whether to go out and have a look, she heard a sudden loud knock on the door of the room.

She was startled, and subconsciously took a step back.

Along with the knock on the door, Huo Xuan's voice came from outside: "Pearl?"

Only then did Xie Mingzhu heave a sigh of relief, and went forward to open the door.

Outside, Huo Xuan's whole body was drenched by the rain, and the thin white shirt was tightly attached to his body, clearly outlining his strong muscles.

For a moment, Xie Mingzhu thought that he knew he liked to watch it, so he dressed like this on purpose.

Huo Xuan didn't pay attention to her eyes, and looked around the room before he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The room next door collapsed in the rain." Huo Xuan said softly.

After hearing his words, Xie Mingzhu came back to her senses, and looked at him with some surprise: "What?"

Huo Xuan added: "It's raining too much. I guess the house can't bear it, and the roof collapsed."

Hearing what he said, Xie Mingzhu remembered that it seemed to happen in her previous life as well.

A few days after she got married, she heard that the roof of the dormitory in the educated youth spot had collapsed. Everyone said that she was destined to move out before the house collapsed, otherwise they didn't know what would happen!

However, she didn't live in the educated youth spot at that time, so she didn't care about it, and she couldn't ask about it.

Most of the roofs of the current houses are thatched roofs. Every once in a while, the roofs will be reinforced and covered with a layer of grass mud to prevent the roofs from leaking or collapsing.

But the educated youths left one after another, and finally Xie Mingzhu was left here alone, and she didn't think about it alone.

"Are you not injured?" Xie Mingzhu asked out loud.

Huo Xuan shook his head: "No."

Fortunately, it fell from the corner. If it fell on top of his head, he was destined to be injured.

"It's fine if you don't get hurt."

Xie Mingzhu glanced at the rain outside, thinking that the room next door could not be lived again, she was a little hesitant for a while, wondering if she should tell him to live here first.

Huo Xuan didn't notice the hesitation in her eyes, but said, "I don't worry if you're fine. I'll fix the roof again when the rain stops tomorrow."

Seeing that Huo Xuan was about to go out again, Xie Mingzhu stopped him: "You can't sleep in that room anymore, where are you going to sleep tonight?"

Huo Xuan raised his lips: "Isn't there a kitchen? I'll go to the kitchen for the night."

Xie Mingzhu lowered her eyes and wanted to speak, but felt unable to.

Seeing that Huo Xuan got into the rain again and walked towards the kitchen, she could only take back what she had said.

She closed the door and lay on the bed, obviously very sleepy, but she couldn't fall asleep when she closed her eyes.

Forced myself to sleep, but it still didn't work at all.

After thinking about it, she simply sat up.

Glancing outside, the night was dark, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier.

After some mental struggle, she got up, picked up the umbrella, opened the door and went out.

When I came to the kitchen, the kitchen door was ajar, and there was a faint light coming from inside.

Huo Xuan also heard the movement and opened the kitchen door.

Seeing that she came out, he frowned and asked, "It's raining so heavily outside, why did you come out? Be careful to catch a cold if you get wet."

Xie Mingzhu saw that he had just changed out of his wet clothes and was preparing to do the laundry.

"You can't sleep in the kitchen at all." Xie Mingzhu pursed her lips and said softly, "You go to sleep in my room!"

The kitchen is full of small stools. Huo Xuan is tall and burly. It is fine to sit for a while. If he sits all night, he will probably be useless tomorrow.

After hearing her words, Huo Xuan was stunned for a moment, and looked at her in surprise.

Xie Mingzhu felt a little embarrassed at first, but seeing him looking at her like this, her expression became a little annoyed, and she said in a vicious voice: "Hurry up, don't make me wait for you!"

A gust of wind blew, the candle flickered, and then went out.

In the kitchen, it suddenly became dark.

Except for the sound of rain, no other sound can be heard.

If the two of them hadn't talked just now, they wouldn't have noticed that there was still someone standing opposite them.

Huo Xuan found a match from the stove and lit a candle.

In the dim light, his flushed cheeks could be seen.

"Go back to sleep, I'm fine here." Huo Xuan said.

Although he looked calm on the surface, he was actually panicking in his heart.

When he was talking, he didn't dare to look up at her.

Xie Mingzhu looked at him and said in a rough voice, "I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

Before he could say anything, he urged again, "Hurry up, I'm so cold."

Huo Xuan didn't speak any more, just nodded in response.
