Chapter 106 Reading

Shen Zhixia's postpartum confinement period is over, and soon Huo's mother will be leaving. Yesterday, Huo's mother said that after she leaves, she will take Shen Zhixia back with her.

But Huo Xinran was unwilling to leave.

After she went back, she just worked and then married some low-quality man in the village. This was not the life she wanted.

However, she was not Huo's biological daughter, so Huo's mother would never treat her well or introduce her to a good partner.

She needs to think of a solution.

Huo Xinran's eyes were fixed on Sun Baojun.

Sun Baojun wasn't her type, but he was gentle and considerate towards Huo Chunyan, buying her all sorts of things, and seemed quite wealthy.

Since he can treat Huo Chunyan so well, and she's better than Huo Chunyan in every way, will he treat her the same way...?

On the other side, Huo Chenzhou went to someone to buy a book.

It's that kind of...book.

When he opened it, his eyes widened when he saw the little figures intertwined on it.

Truly, books hold a wealth of knowledge and beauty...

How they came up with these poses is truly eye-opening.

Huo Chenzhou had absolutely no experience in this area. Education at that time was also very conservative, and it was impossible to explain anything about this subject. Moreover, he hadn't read much and had never taken any physiology classes.

He only began to understand the feeling after exploring it with Shen Zhixia last night.

So that's how it can be done, and also how it can be done.

At first, Huo Chenzhou would secretly watch, always paying attention to his surroundings, afraid of being discovered. But as time went on, he found it more and more beautiful, and naturally forgot everything else.

I was completely immersed in the ocean of knowledge.

"Huo Chenzhou, Mom wants you to come and have some sweet soup," Shen Zhixia called out.

Huo Chenzhou was engrossed in his studies and didn't hear anything, so he ignored Shen Zhixia. At this moment, all his senses were drawn to the contents of the book, and he had entered a mysterious state of flow, where no one could disturb him.

Shen Zhixia called out a few more times, but Huo Chenzhou remained silent.

At this point, Shen Zhixia was already somewhat unhappy.

Huo Chenzhou had never been like this before. He had always been very good to her and very patient. But now, after only a short time of marriage, he has changed.

She knew love could fade, but Huo Chenzhou had changed too quickly.

Feeling frustrated, Shen Zhixia stood behind Huo Chenzhou and patted him on the shoulder: "What are you doing? You're ignoring me now."

Huo Chenzhou's hand trembled, and the book on the table fell to the ground. His expression was full of panic.

He got up to pick it up, but Shen Zhixia stopped him, shouting, "Don't move!"

Huo Chenzhou stopped moving, but his expression became increasingly flustered.

Shen Zhixia asked, "What is this?"

"Book……"

"Of course I know it's a book. Why are you reading it behind my back? Is there a love letter in it?"

In this day and age, there are actually people who write love letters. Could it be that Huo Chenzhou is having an affair, which is why he's avoiding her at all times?

As she spoke, she reached out to pick up the book from the ground.

Huo Chenzhou said, "Don't pick it up."

Who listens to him?

Shen Zhixia picked it up, then opened it, intending to look for any written words inside.

Just opened it...

Her eyes widened.

The air also quieted down.

Huo Chenzhou: "..."

Shen Zhixia paused for a moment, then said speechlessly, "Huo Chenzhou, are you a pervert? What do you think of this?"

Actually, this is nothing. As a transmigrator, Shen Zhixia had seen far more exciting things in her previous life.

She wasn't reading any books, but rather watching real, animated videos—all starting with "a" and ending with "v." She had several gigabytes of them stored on her computer's hard drive; that was truly impressive. However, after watching so many, she got tired of them.

But how could a gentleman like Huo Chenzhou look at such things? He thought Huo Chenzhou would despise this kind of thing.

Huo Chenzhou usually acts like a retired cadre, I really didn't expect him to be like this.

Having been discovered, Huo Chenzhou only showed a moment of embarrassment before explaining, "I just wanted to learn a bit."

study?

Learn from the book...

Shen Zhixia asked, "So what did you learn?"

Huo Chenzhou coughed and whispered something in Shen Zhixia's ear. His warm breath hit Shen Zhixia's ear and felt very hot.

After hearing this, the image of that posture flashed into Shen Zhixia's mind, cough cough...

She shoved Huo Chenzhou away, giving him a playful glare: "How come I never noticed you were like this before?"

However, she wasn't too opposed to it. Yesterday's positions were too monotonous, and she could try other positions in the future.

Seeing that she didn't refuse, Huo Chenzhou's face lit up with joy: "Wife, I did pretty well in my studies today, didn't I?"

Shen Zhixia nodded and said, "Come on, let's have some sweet soup."

Mrs. Huo was a very good cook; she could make any dish taste delicious, and even ordinary dishes had a unique aroma.

She felt that this was the smoky aroma from a wok.

While Shen Zhixia was drinking her soup, Huo's mother couldn't help but ask, "Where did Xinran go? She's not here even though we're having soup."

Huo Chenzhou said, "They're probably in the dorm."

"That's unlikely. There's no one in her dorm. What would she be doing going back at this time? She's usually with me," said Mrs. Huo.

Huo Chenzhou did not respond this time.

Huo's mother didn't ask any further questions. Anyway, the family compound was very safe, and Huo Xinran wouldn't get into any trouble. She would ask her again when Huo Xinran came back later.

The army's grand chorus began.

Actually, large-scale choral singing isn't very entertaining.

It's just a lot of people gathering together for a lively and festive atmosphere.

After all, there weren't many entertainment options available in that era.

Sun Baojun was just using this opportunity to spend more time with Huo Chunyan.

He carried a bag deep in the mountains and took out a water bag from it: "This is fruit tea I brewed. It's made in my hometown. It's sweet and sour and tastes very good."

"There are also candied fruit and peanut brittle here."

He was like Doraemon, constantly taking things out.

Huo Chunyan blinked and smiled, "Thank you."

Sun Baojun smiled sheepishly.

Huo Xinran saw all this and felt even more resentful. She could accept things, but Huo Chunyan wouldn't allow her to, while Huo Chunyan could accept things as she pleased. This was really annoying.

She hadn't eaten anything and was hungry, but she didn't leave. After waiting for a long time, Sun Baojun finally stood up. He probably had drunk too much water and needed to go to the toilet, so he left alone.

Huo Xinran's eyes lit up, and she followed.
