21 Embarrassed and polite

ยทยท

Xie Mingzhu in her previous life really didn't know that Huo Xuan liked her, after all, the relationship between the two of them had been very good since childhood, and she had never thought about it in that way.

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

"Huo Xuan ......"

As soon as she opened her mouth to call his name, he had already let her go, and then interrupted her, "What do you want to eat tonight?" I went to the county seat today, bought some meat and came back, and made you braised pork in the evening, okay? โ€

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

Without waiting for her to speak, he rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen.

As he walked, he said, "You go back to the house to rest first, and I'll call you when the meal is ready." โ€

When he turned around, the expression on his face became annoyed, obviously thinking that he had just been a little too reckless.

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 get close again.

Sometimes, he also loathed his fear.

However, the disparity in identity made him retreat again and again.

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

Even his mother once told him that even if her family fell into the middle, it was not comparable to them, so he should not be delusional.

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, and he turned around and walked outside again.

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

I glanced inside the room, but it was still not there.

Huo Xuan's brows furrowed tightly, his eyes turned around the courtyard, and finally looked at the latrine.

With a light sigh, he returned to the kitchen.

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

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

She walked aimlessly for a while, until it began to get dark outside, and then she turned to go back.

When I arrived at the gate of the yard, I hesitated for a while, and I didn't know whether to 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, and saw her standing at the gate of the courtyard kicking the stones, her eyes flashing slightly.

Then, he smiled and said to her, "What are you doing standing at the door?" Dinner is ready, come back and wash your hands and eat. โ€

Not a word about what just happened.

Xie Mingzhu was still a little worried, but after hearing his words, he 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 doesn't plan to accept a new relationship now.

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

Sighing slightly, he seemed to be a nobody, and urged with a smile: "What are you still standing stupidly for?" Prepare to wash your hands and eat. โ€

Xie Mingzhu smiled slightly and nodded lightly.

In the evening, it was rice, a plate of braised pork, and a plate of stir-fried greens, plus a bowl of cabbage and tofu soup.

It's very simple, the amount is not very much, just enough for the two of them to eat, and it will not be wasted.

Huo Xuan's craftsmanship is still as good as ever, and the cooking is delicious.

During the meal, neither of them said anything, so Huo Xuan asked if it was delicious, she replied that it was delicious, and she didn't say anything else.

The atmosphere was awkward.

After dinner, Xie Mingzhu was about to put away the bowl, but Huo Xuan stopped her.

"I'll do it!"

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

Xie Mingzhu nodded, didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out of the kitchen.

Huo Xuan glanced back at her, and a trace of chagrin flashed on his face again.

Originally, the atmosphere between the two was quite good, but he was blamed for his impatience, but now the atmosphere has become like this.

Huo Xuan sighed.

At the same time, I was still thinking about how to alleviate the embarrassment between the two.

Not long after dinner, the sound of thunder sounded outside.

Huo Xuan was still boiling water, preparing to take a bath at night, Xie Mingzhu saw that his clothes were still hanging on the rope in the yard, got up and came outside, and helped him put away his clothes.

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

The expression on Xie Mingzhu's face became embarrassed, and he quickly explained: "I saw that it was starting to rain outside, and your clothes were still hanging outside, so I took them in for you." โ€

Huo Xuan nodded and only said, "Thank you." โ€

Xie Mingzhu hurriedly waved his hand and ran out as if he had escaped.

Huo Xuan looked at her back in a hurry and shook his head helplessly.

It made him look like some kind of jackal, tiger and leopard.

Back in his room, Xie Mingzhu calmed his breath.

Hold down your fast-beating little heart and take a few deep breaths, only then did you feel that your breathing was not so rapid.

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

Outside the door, Huo Xuan's voice came: "Mingzhu, the hot water has been boiled, can you wash it now?" I'll get you the bathtub in? โ€

Xie Mingzhu answered, originally about to say that he would move it, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw that Huo Xuan was already standing at the door with a wooden barrel for bathing.

"Thank you." Xie Mingzhu said with some stump.

Between the two, they were unexpectedly polite.

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

Brought the bath water over, Huo Xuan didn't say a word, and went out again.

Xie Mingzhu looked at his back, his throat was slightly stalked, and he subconsciously stopped him: "Huo Xuan!" โ€

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

Xie Mingzhu opened his mouth, shook his head again and said, "It's okay." โ€

After a pause, he added, "You go out and help me close the door." โ€

Huo Xuan smiled and nodded slightly.

When I went out, I helped her close the door.

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

I found a change of clothes and sat down in the steaming water, and the whole person instantly felt a little more comfortable.

The brain that has been blocked seems to have been dredged up at this time.
