Chapter 258 I Like You
Before long, Shen Zhixia felt that both of her hands were warm.
She suddenly said, "I like it."
Huo Chenzhou didn't react immediately and asked, "What do you like?"
I like you.
Shen Zhixia was sincere. After spending a lot of time with Huo Chenzhou, she realized that he was a really good man.
Huo Chenzhou straightened up immediately, and a hint of red appeared on his dark face. He asked impatiently, "What do you like about me?"
Shen Zhixia glanced at him and said slowly, "There are too many things I like to say, I can't explain them all in a short time. I like your appearance, your voice, your behavior and actions, and even your body temperature."
Her body temperature was very low, and she was basically always cold, which is why she liked Huo Chenzhou and felt that he was always hot and passionate.
"I didn't know I was this good?" Huo Chenzhou wanted to pretend he didn't care, but the smile on his face was too wide to hide. He chuckled and said, "I never knew I had so many good qualities."
This was the first time Shen Zhixia had said such a thing to him. He felt lightheaded and oblivious to the world around him. He completely ignored the factory manager standing next to him.
Shen Zhixia nodded and said earnestly, "Yes, you are the best in my heart. I am happy every day when I see you."
Huo Chenzhou coughed, looking a little embarrassed. He simply held Shen Zhixia's hand even tighter, as if afraid that if he let go, his wife would disappear.
So his wife likes him that much! Actually, he feels the same way; he likes his wife very much too, but he's just not good at expressing it. He doesn't know if his wife has accepted his love.
He hummed in agreement, then suddenly said, "I like you too."
For people of this era, openly expressing their feelings is already quite open, especially for someone as reserved as Huo Chenzhou. The fact that he could say such things already greatly surprised Shen Zhixia.
Shen Zhixia teased him on purpose: "What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly."
Huo Chenzhou was still reeling from the shock of the day, so he said, "Let's go back. I'll tell you when we get back."
Shen Zhixia raised an eyebrow and said, "No, I want you to say it here."
Huo Chenzhou glanced around. Actually, there was no one around. Most of the factory workers had already left, and the only person left was the factory manager.
The factory manager had already been force-fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), and he didn't know what to say at the moment. Under Huo Chenzhou's gaze, he was somewhat speechless.
He just wanted to ask Huo Chenzhou for a small favor, and he couldn't leave now. After all, he didn't have many opportunities to see Huo Chenzhou, and if he left now, he might not be able to see him again next time.
He just stood there, not going anywhere.
"Isn't this inappropriate? There are outsiders here," Huo Chenzhou said awkwardly.
The outsider factory manager: "..."
Forget it, let them be lovey-dovey. He'll just pretend he didn't see it. Look at Huo Chenzhou's worthless expression, as if everyone has a wife. He has a wife and children too, so he's not envious of them at all.
Yes, I'm not envious at all.
Shen Zhixia just looked at him and smiled; her eyes seemed to sparkle with starlight, making her look incredibly radiant.
Huo Chenzhou felt as if fireworks were exploding in his heart, and the two walked back very sweetly.
However, after walking for a while, they discovered that there was a third person around them.
The factory manager followed silently behind them.
Huo Chenzhou glared at him and said, "What are you doing following us?"
After he got back, he still had a lot to say to Shen Zhixia. Now he felt his heart was burning. He didn't want to see a third person. Was the factory manager going to go home with them in this state?
It's really inexplicable.
The factory manager said seriously, "Commander Huo, didn't we agree to talk about something? That's why I'm going back with you to talk about it."
Huo Chenzhou: "There's nothing to talk about. I refuse."
The factory manager asked him to help take care of his nephew. What a joke! He doesn't have the time for that, and he doesn't want to take care of children.
"Commander Huo, it won't be too much trouble. I don't need him to join the army now. I just hope you can send him over there to get some experience, to train his body and mind. Otherwise, he'll have nothing to do every day," the factory manager said solicitously.
Huo Chenzhou said, "If it were really that simple, why don't you keep him by your side to train him? I think he's just a nuisance. If he causes trouble, I'll hold it against him. That's why I don't take on disciples, and I don't easily mentor people."
The factory manager quickly stuck it on again, trying his best to persuade Huo Chenzhou to agree. Finally, he said, "If you're willing to help me with this, then Xiao Shen will be under my care from now on. If she's bullied in the factory, I'll definitely help her."
Shen Zhixia said, "No one bullied me, I'm fine."
Huo Chenzhou remained silent for a long time this time. Even if Shen Zhixia was not being bullied now, it didn't mean she wouldn't be in the future.
She's only just started working at the factory, and there are still many people she doesn't know. In the future, she'll meet more colleagues and do various jobs. If she doesn't do her job well, or if her colleagues make things difficult for her, and he can't get to Shen Zhixia's side immediately, then someone will need to stand up for Shen Zhixia. If that person is the factory manager, that would be perfect, since the factory manager is the highest-ranking person in the factory. It would be best if he stood by Shen Zhixia's side.
After the three people left, two people came out of the door.
Huang Lu said discontentedly, "Su Qiang, didn't you say you were going to go out and expose them? Why did you chicken out just now?"
Su Qiang argued, "That man is tall and strong, and there's no one else around. I'm afraid that if I go out, they'll attack us instead."
Ultimately, it's because he can't beat the other person, which is why he doesn't dare to go out.
Huang Lu rolled her eyes, not believing him at all: "I think you're scared, aren't you?"
“Who said I’m scared? I’m not scared at all. I’m just thinking about what their relationship is,” Su Qiang said.
He would never admit that he was afraid. Most importantly, he couldn't admit that he was afraid of Huo Chenzhou in front of the girl he liked, otherwise Huang Lu would definitely look down on him.
Huang Lu said, "What's there to analyze? Let me tell you, that man is Commander Huo."
Su Qiang said "Oh," and asked curiously, "How did you know?"
He had always worked in the factory and had very little contact with the people in the military, so he didn't know a single soldier.
Huang Lu said proudly, "I had the honor of meeting him once before. He actually came to pick up the factory director this time. I didn't expect the factory director and he to have such a good relationship."
When Huo Chenzhou arrived, the factory manager went straight to greet him, and so they misunderstood, thinking that Huo Chenzhou had come to pick up the factory manager.
