Chapter 93 Likes Pretty Boys
Shen Zhixia then chose a time to talk to Huo Chunyan about this matter.
The situation outside is very chaotic right now, so Huo Chunyan is not staying in the dormitory. She is staying here temporarily. Anyway, the courtyard is very big and there are many rooms, so even if more people stay here, it won't be crowded.
She adores the two babies and stays here to help take care of them and cook for Huo's mother. Shen Zhixia's postpartum period is quite leisurely.
That day, she tentatively asked Huo Chunyan, "Chunyan, are you really planning to never get married?"
As soon as Huo Chunyan heard her speak, her face fell. She was still holding Dabao in her arms and teasing her with a rattle drum in her hand. She didn't dare to show her displeasure to Shen Zhixia, but said, "It's not that I'm never going to get married, it's just that I haven't met the right person."
Shen Zhixia nodded: "I understand what you mean. You can get married, but there's no need to rush into it. If you can't meet the right person, then you might as well not get married. Anyway, you're doing just fine on your own, so there's no need to find someone unsuitable."
Upon hearing this, Huo Chunyan immediately looked up at Shen Zhixia: "Sister-in-law, you understand me..."
She was actually not young anymore, and her mother had introduced her to potential partners over the years, but they were all undesirable men. She really couldn't understand where her mother found these people.
Moreover, Huo's mother always pressured her to get married to those men. Did Huo's mother think that she was only suitable for these men?
This is really frustrating.
The thought of marrying someone she didn't like filled her with disgust; in short, she simply didn't want to.
However, in this era, arranged weddings are common, and many people have gone through this process. She refused to agree to get married, so her relatives accused her of being unfilial, which made her very depressed.
Shen Zhixia asked, "Do you have a type you like? I'll keep an eye out for you, and if there's anyone suitable, I'll introduce them to you so you can take a look."
Huo Chunyan was stunned for a moment and remained silent for a long time.
Shen Zhixia's question was so sudden; she herself hadn't even thought about what kind of person she would like.
Shen Zhixia said, "How about someone like your older brother? Do you like that?"
Huo Chenzhou and Huo Chunyan have a very good relationship; they are like siblings. Shen Zhixia thinks that Huo Chunyan must like Huo Chenzhou's type.
The military camp is full of soldiers, and there must be some like Huo Chenzhou. We can just have Huo Chenzhou keep an eye out for them.
But Huo Chunyan's eyes widened: "No, I don't like tall guys like him who have no culture."
Shen Zhixia: "?"
Huo Chunyan said with disdain, "Sister-in-law, you're so beautiful, I don't know how you fell for my brother in the first place?" She looked at the baby in her arms and said happily, "Luckily, the baby looks like you. If he looked like my older brother, then we would be doomed."
Shen Zhixia remained silent.
When Huo Chunyan thought she was going to abort the child, she stood on the same side as Huo Chenzhou. But was this Huo Chunyan's true nature?
That's outrageous.
Does Huo Chunyan really look down on Huo Chenzhou that much?
Shen Zhixia coughed and said, "Actually, your older brother is quite nice. He's also very good-looking, with strong features, which is my type."
Huo Chenzhou is not ugly. In fact, his features are very handsome. It's just that he often frowns and has a serious expression, which makes people mistake his appearance for something else.
Moreover, Huo Chenzhou is very dark-skinned. He is exposed to wind and rain all the time, giving his skin a healthy bronze color, which Shen Zhixia particularly likes.
She likes men who are very masculine, and she definitely wants to sleep with him after she finishes her postpartum confinement.
Huo Chunyan scoffed, "I just don't like his strong type. I prefer slender ones. Let me tell you, when my older brother was a kid, he loved to beat me up because he was tall and strong. I could never fight back. He could lift me up with one hand. That's why I dislike his type the most."
Shen Zhixia asked in surprise, "He doesn't seem like that kind of person. Is there some misunderstanding?"
Huo Chunyan didn't want to bring up the past, since she was always the one who made the mistake first, and Huo Chenzhou would punish her. Anyway, she had no reason to complain. But even so, Huo Chenzhou's punishments always made her unhappy.
The kind of person she's looking for now is completely different from Huo Chenzhou; she doesn't want those burly soldiers.
Seeing her like that, Shen Zhixia basically guessed what was going on. She nodded and said, "I know. Do you like people who are thin and have a scholarly appearance?"
Huo Chunyan chimed in, "Yes, it's best if they're also somewhat educated; people like that are of higher quality."
The Huo family was not wealthy, and could even be described as poor, but they were not sexist. Huo Chunyan was the only one in the family who excelled in her studies, and the Huo family always supported her.
As for Huo Chenzhou, he didn't do well in school since childhood, so he joined the army.
Later, after arriving at the military camp, Huo Chenzhou began to learn to read and write, and then learned some characters and read some books.
Thinking of this, Shen Zhixia couldn't help but smile.
After they finished talking, Shen Zhixia told Huo Chenzhou about it when they went to bed that night.
Huo Chenzhou frowned: "She likes pretty boys?"
These days, a rugged and upright appearance is considered handsome. Those pretty boys are completely unacceptable and no longer fit the aesthetic standards. Nowadays, people think pretty boys are ugly.
Therefore, Huo Chenzhou completely disagreed with Huo Chunyan's aesthetic sense.
Shen Zhixia could understand. In later generations, many people would prefer pure and innocent young men. Huo Chunyan's aesthetic was just a bit ahead of its time, and there was nothing wrong with that.
She said, "Just introduce Chunyan to whatever type she likes, otherwise she'll get annoyed. She's said it's not that she doesn't want to get married, she just wants to find someone she likes. You have to respect that."
Huo Chenzhou thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I have thought of someone. We can let them meet him later."
Shen Zhixia immediately became interested: "Who is it? I want to meet them too."
Huo Chenzhou said, "If you're curious, I'll invite him over for a meal tomorrow."
“Okay.” Shen Zhixia agreed immediately.
Since she's currently in postpartum confinement and can't travel around much, she can only invite people over to her home. This is a good opportunity for her to meet that person.
Huo Chenzhou wasn't in a hurry to introduce Huo Chunyan to someone; he just saw that Shen Zhixia was curious, so he decided to bring her back.
Anyway, he thought he was much more handsome, and Shen Zhixia would never be interested in that pretty boy, so he wasn't worried at all.
After he told Huo's mother about it, she was very excited and prepared to cook a good meal the next day.
