After taking a bath, Xie Mingzhu just opened the door, and Huo Xuan, who was sitting in the courtyard, saw her, got up and came over to help her pour the bath water.
Xie Mingzhu hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him: "I don't need you to come, I can do it myself." โ
If she had been injured before, and Huo Xuan came to pour the bath water for her, she would definitely not have felt that there was anything wrong.
But things are a little different now.
Huo Xuan raised his eyes and glanced at her, but didn't care, just said: "Don't take what I just said to heart, I just said it casually." โ
As soon as the words fell, I almost wanted to bite my tongue.
Obviously, it was all my own sincere words, but now that I say this, it seems that I am deliberately teasing her.
After these words came out, the expression on Xie Mingzhu's face became even more cramped.
The two of you, you look at me, I look at you, the atmosphere is about to overflow the room.
Huo Xuan couldn't hold on at first, picked up the bathtub and walked outside.
He poured water into the vegetable patch behind him, and he didn't reappear.
The weather outside was getting hotter and hotter, and the thunder was getting louder and louder.
After a while, it was pouring rain outside.
The rain crackled on the ground as if it didn't need money, splashing one after another and splashing into the room.
Xie Mingzhu closed the door and window to block the rainwater from entering.
Sitting by the window, watching the rain hit the window, many, many memories flashed through my mind.
The more I thought about it, the more chaotic my brain became, so I simply didn't want to, and went to bed, ready to sleep.
In a daze, as if he was asleep, and as if he was not asleep, he suddenly heard a loud "boom", and the whole person woke up at once, and sat up from the bed with a grunt.
Outside, the sound of rain was still very loud, and there was still a faint sound of thunder.
No other voices can be heard anymore.
It was as if it had just been a dream for her.
Putting on her coat, she stood at the window and looked out.
The rain was glued to the glass, and I couldn't see the outside at all.
Just as she was thinking about whether to go out and have a look, she heard a sudden and violent knock on the door of her room.
She was startled for a moment, and subconsciously took a step back.
With the knock on the door, Huo Xuan's voice came from outside: "Mingzhu? โ
Xie Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to open the door.
Outside, Huo Xuan's whole body was soaked in 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 that he liked to look at it, so he deliberately dressed like this.
Huo Xuan didn't notice her eyes, and his eyes turned around the room, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"The next room collapsed in the rain." Huo Xuan said softly.
Hearing his words, Xie Mingzhu came back to his senses and looked at him with some surprise: "What? โ
Huo Xuan said again: "The rain is too heavy, it is estimated that this house can't bear it, and the roof has collapsed." โ
Hearing him say this, Xie Mingzhu remembered that there seemed to be such a thing in his previous life.
A few days after she got married, she heard that the roof of the dormitory at Zhiqing Point had collapsed, and everyone said that she had a big life and moved out before the house collapsed, otherwise I don't know what would happen!
However, at that time, she didn't live in Zhiqing Point anymore, so she didn't care, and she couldn't inquire.
Most of the roofs of today's houses are thatched, and every once in a while, the roof will be strengthened and a layer of grass and mud will be pasted to prevent the roof from leaking or collapsing.
But the educated youths left one after another, and in the end, Xie Mingzhu was left here alone, and she didn't think about it alone.
"You're not hurt, are you?" Xie Mingzhu asked out loud.
Huo Xuan shook his head: "No." โ
Fortunately, it fell from a corner, and if it was on top of his head, he was sure that he would be injured.
"It's good that it's not hurt."
Xie Mingzhu glanced at the rain outside, and thought that the next room couldn't live again, so he hesitated a little for a while, thinking about whether to ask him to live here first.
Huo Xuan didn't notice the hesitation in her eyes, but said: "I'll rest assured that you're okay, and when the rain stops tomorrow, I'll renovate the roof." โ
Seeing that Huo Xuan was about to go out again, Xie Mingzhu stopped him with a loud voice: "You can't sleep in that room, where are you sleeping tonight?" โ
Huo Xuan raised his lips: "Isn't there still a kitchen?" I'll go to the kitchen for the night. โ
Xie Mingzhu lowered his eyes and wanted to speak, but he felt that he couldn't open his mouth.
Seeing Huo Xuan enter the rain again and walked in the direction of the kitchen, she could only retract the words that had reached her mouth.
I closed the door and lay on the bed, obviously very sleepy, but I couldn't sleep when I closed my eyes.
Forced himself to sleep, but it was still not easy 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 psychological struggle, she got up, picked up her umbrella, opened the door and walked out.
I came to the kitchen, the door was ajar, and a faint light came 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 if you get wet. โ
Xie Mingzhu saw that he had just changed out of the wet clothes on his body and was preparing to wash his clothes.
"You can't sleep in the kitchen." Xie Mingzhu pursed her lips and said softly, "You go to sleep in my room!" โ
There are small stools in the kitchen, Huo Xuanren is tall and big, it's okay to sit for a while, if you sit for one night, it is estimated that everyone will be wasted tomorrow.
Hearing her words, Huo Xuan was stunned for a moment, and looked at her in surprise.
Xie Mingzhu already felt a little embarrassed, but when he saw him looking at him like this, his expression became a little annoyed, and he said viciously: "Hurry up, don't let me wait for you!" โ
A gust of wind blew, the candlelight flickered, and then it went out.
In the kitchen, it suddenly became dark.
Except for the sound of the rain, no other sound could be heard.
If the two hadn't spoken just now, they wouldn't have noticed that there was someone standing across from them.
Huo Xuan touched 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 his face, he was actually panicked.
When he spoke, he didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at her.
Xie Mingzhu looked at him and said in a rough voice: "I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?" โ
Without waiting for him to say anything more, he urged again, "Hurry up, I'm so cold." โ
Huo Xuan didn't speak again, only nodded in response.
