Chapter 6 This man is quite virtuous.
On her first day in this world, Shen Zhixia had to deal with so many people, and she felt a little tired.
While resting in the evening, Gu Chenzhou was boiling water in a large pot.
She went to see the bathing facilities today. The military base has a simple public bathhouse, which is a brick bungalow with no privacy whatsoever. You need a bath ticket every time you go to bathe, and you have to queue when there are many people. People bathe infrequently, usually once a week in the summer and once a month in the winter.
Taking a bath here is really difficult. She really can't stand not being able to take a bath for so long. And she also feels very uncomfortable going to a public bathhouse where everyone is facing each other and can see each other naked.
Before she transmigrated into the book, she was a southerner and had no idea about this bathing culture. She had even heard that some people rub each other's backs.
She needs to think of a solution.
After Huo Chenzhou boiled the water, he poured the hot water into an enamel basin and let Shen Zhixia soak her feet.
The man said in a deep voice, "You can take a shower here once a week. It's only been two days since the last time. If you want to take a shower, you'll have to wait a few more days. Why don't you soak your feet first?"
Shen Zhixia: "..."
Even though she already knew about this, she was still speechless when Huo Chenzhou said it.
Fortunately, the weather here isn't hot, otherwise everyone would have gone bad.
Shen Zhixia said "oh" and obediently took off her shoes and soaked her feet in the water.
Her feet were beautifully formed, small, white, and with skin as smooth as jade.
Even her toenails were crystal clear.
How can someone be so exquisitely beautiful from head to toe?
Huo Chenzhou stared at her feet for quite a while. He stood next to her and couldn't smell anything, but he felt that she smelled wonderful all over.
Images involuntarily flashed through his mind: him holding her feet...
Her body was soft and supple, like a piece of sugar cake.
However, the young lady was very delicate and always complained that his body was rough and made her uncomfortable. She would push him far away every time. Later, she wouldn't allow him to sleep with her. Even this child was just an accident.
Thinking of this, Huo Chenzhou's expression darkened.
The water had almost cooled down.
Shen Zhixia's feet were scalded red. As soon as she took her feet out of the basin, Huo Chenzhou brought a towel and wrapped them around her feet.
She blinked.
The man had already turned around with the enamel basin to pour water.
This man is quite virtuous.
After wiping her feet clean, Shen Zhixia put the towel aside.
After Huo Chenzhou arrived, she said, "It's too inconvenient to take a bath here. Why don't we build a bathing area in the courtyard?"
Huo Chenzhou agreed without hesitation: "Okay."
His quick agreement surprised Shen Zhixia, who asked, "Won't that be too much trouble?"
Huo Chenzhou said, “It’s not troublesome. Some families here do the same thing. They set up temporary ‘shower rooms’ in their own yards, using bamboo or wooden poles to prop up a plastic sheet or an old bed sheet as a cover. They fill buckets with boiled water and use simple nozzles, such as punching holes in the bottom of plastic bottles, to spray their bodies.”
He used to live alone and didn't care about these things, but now that Shen Zhixia lives with him, there must be many inconveniences. She has already suffered a lot since she came to accompany the army, and now she is only making such a small request, so of course he has to fulfill it.
Huo Chenzhou glanced outside and said, "It's too late today. I'll find some bamboo poles tomorrow and we can set up a bathing area."
Shen Zhixia hadn't expected it to be so easy, and the man was so efficient that it would be done by tomorrow. She tilted her head, her lips curving into a sweet smile.
She opened her arms for a hug.
Huo Chenzhou was stunned by the smile on her face and did not make any move.
Shen Zhixia raised her hands and fell towards him.
Huo Chenzhou's expression changed, and he quickly stepped forward to hug her.
Shen Zhixia placed her hands on his shoulders, her long hair falling down, a few strands touching his face, like the strings of a zither plucking at his heartstrings.
She suddenly turned her head and touched his face, her voice soft: "You're so nice."
Huo Chenzhou froze, completely at a loss.
Shen Zhixia hugged him for a while, then let go and said, "I'm going to change into my pajamas and get ready to sleep. I want to wear that red pajamas."
"oh."
Huo Chenzhou placed her on the bed and then went to the wardrobe to find pajamas.
The wardrobe was almost entirely filled with Shen Zhixia's clothes. He only had a few military uniforms, which were squeezed into a corner, making him look very lonely.
Shen Zhixia has a lot of clothes. The original owner loved cheongsams and had many different styles of cheongsams. She was thinking that she would buy some new clothes when she had time.
Otherwise, her clothes are too capitalist-style, and she will be in great danger when the movement starts.
Huo Chenzhou searched in the closet for a long time before finally finding a red nightgown.
He handed the dress to Shen Zhixia, then turned his back and refused to look at her.
While Shen Zhixia was changing her clothes, he said gruffly, "I'll go get some water."
Shen Zhixia raised an eyebrow, not expecting Huo Chenzhou to be so discreet.
She took off her clothes and changed into pajamas, a pure red made of mulberry silk, exuding a soft, gentle hue.
It must be admitted that the original owner actually had quite good taste.
There was only one large bed in the room, and Shen Zhixia lay on it. She was so small that there was still more than half of the bed left.
She wore a long red dress, her hair flowing smoothly down her back. Her skin was fair and her hair was black, and the red color made her skin appear even whiter.
Huo Chenzhou glanced at her and then skillfully began to make a makeshift bed on the floor.
Shen Zhixia: "?"
She suddenly sat up, her eyes widened, and she said angrily, "You despise me!"
Her eyes were watery and filled with grievances, showing little anger; instead, she looked like a wronged little kitten.
Shen Zhixia said unhappily, "This bed is so big, why don't you sleep with me instead of sleeping on the floor?"
Huo Chenzhou: "..."
He frowned and said, "This is what you asked for. You said it would be too cramped and you wouldn't be able to sleep well."
Shen Zhixia thought about it and realized that it was indeed the original owner who brought it up. The original owner disliked Huo Chenzhou, and the two started sleeping in separate beds shortly after their marriage. Later, when she was forced to follow Huo Chenzhou to the army, there was only one bed here, so she asked Huo Chenzhou to let her sleep on the floor.
But Shen Zhixia wouldn't admit it. She pouted and said, "That was something I said before, it doesn't count today, and..."
She looked at Huo Chenzhou accusingly: "Do you listen to everything I say? Don't you know how to think for yourself?"
Huo Chenzhou: "?"
Shen Zhixia ran down barefoot and carried all the sheets and blankets he used to sleep on the floor to the bed.
Her face was full of smugness, and she glanced at Huo Chenzhou out of the corner of her eye: "Aren't you coming up?"
Huo Chenzhou glanced at her, pursed his lips, and finally obediently got into bed.
As soon as he got on the bed, he turned to the side, occupying only the edge of the bed, leaving Shen Zhixia with only his back. Even so, he was still quite a large lump.
Just now I thought the bed was big, and he took up a lot of space by himself.
Shen Zhixia couldn't sleep and wanted to talk to Huo Chenzhou. She pinched the man's arm, feeling his hard muscles, and poked his abs, but the man's breathing was even, so he seemed to be asleep.
She frowned, somewhat displeased.
How did this man fall asleep so quickly?
She was tired too, and she fell asleep without realizing it.
