Chapter 96 Unreasonable Behavior
Shen Zhixia quietly went to the kitchen alone. At that moment, she realized she really wanted to eat something spicy, preferably so spicy that it would give her a stomachache.
She had no appetite today because she thought the food was too bland, but eating too much spicy food is also bad for her health. Her mother wouldn't cook it for her, and she wouldn't make such an unreasonable request.
The sound of even breathing could be heard from inside the room.
Everyone was asleep.
It was already dark, but the yard was brightly lit. A full moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the vegetables in the yard very clearly.
Shen Zhixia really likes this era.
In later generations, the air has long been polluted, and the sky is always shrouded in a layer of gray fog, unlike how clean it is now.
She took a deep breath and felt that even the air was sweet.
very nice.
The moonlight is so bright in this era.
After confirming that no one was around, Shen Zhixia quietly took out a piece of beef from her spatial storage. The beef was still very fresh.
She skillfully heated the oil in a wok, preparing to make very spicy boiled beef slices. Just imagining the taste made her mouth water.
Actually, she wanted to eat hot pot more, but making hot pot now was too much trouble.
Before long, she made a pot of boiled beef, covered with lots of chili peppers. She also steamed a bowl of white rice and started eating it.
Woohoo, it's delicious, spicy and flavorful.
She wanted something spicy right now, so spicy that tears welled up in her eyes. She quickly drank a big gulp of water. If only she had some cola, but there wasn't any cola available.
Shen Zhixia looked at her favorite sugary drink and felt disappointed.
Huo Chenzhou woke up.
He got up intending to go to the yard to practice boxing, since he felt he had gained weight and needed to start losing it, but he suddenly found the area around him completely empty.
What about Shen Zhixia?
Huo Chenzhou was suddenly startled.
He quickly got up to find Shen Zhixia and saw her eating something alone in the kitchen. The bowl was red and spicy, which looked bad for her health.
He frowned slightly, then saw Shen Zhixia eating heartily, the meat she picked out appearing to be beef.
Then the bowl is full of beef.
Huo Chenzhou was surprised.
Beef is very hard to buy now because the production is very low and it's not available every day. Even if you want to buy it, you need to pre-order and then use connections to get it.
Meat doesn't keep for long, so the meat that Mrs. Huo cooks every day is bought fresh. Today there's nothing left in the kitchen, so where did Shen Zhixia get such a big piece of meat, and it's beef at that?
He remembered that Huo's mother hadn't been able to buy meat in the past few days.
That's really strange.
He stood behind Shen Zhixia for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.
Shen Zhixia has a large appetite now. After she finished eating, she was about to wash the dishes and destroy the evidence when she turned her head and saw Huo Chenzhou standing at the door.
Huo Chenzhou looked at her and couldn't help but ask, "You..."
Shen Zhixia glared at him: "Shut up, don't say anything."
She felt very guilty and scared. She didn't know when Huo Chenzhou had been standing outside the door, or how much he had seen.
Did she see it when she took the beef out of her spatial storage?
No, no, no, she remembered that she had carefully observed her surroundings at that time, and there was definitely no one there.
Was that when she was cooking?
In any case, it was her mistake this time, and she can't explain where she got the beef from.
She could only say that the piece of meat was left by Huo's mother or Huo Chunyan, but as soon as Huo Chenzhou asked, she would give herself away.
Did she go out to buy it?
That won't work either.
She didn't go out at all during her postpartum period, and Huo Chunyan and her mother stayed with her the whole time.
At this moment, Shen Zhixia suddenly felt a little regretful. In fact, she had always been very careful. She never planned to tell anyone about the space. After all, possessing a treasure is a crime. What if others found out and had bad intentions towards her? Even her closest relatives were not allowed.
Even if it's Huo Chenzhou, that won't work.
She suddenly had a craving today and thought they were all asleep, which is why she made the mistake.
Huo Chenzhou said "Oh," and went up to wash the bowl. He didn't say a word during the process, just quietly washing and playing with the water as it flowed through his fingers.
Shen Zhixia was extremely nervous, her heart pounding. Seeing that Huo Chenzhou didn't speak, she felt that he must have guessed, so she became even more guilty and raised her voice: "Huo Chenzhou, why aren't you saying anything?"
Huo Chenzhou: "?"
After washing the dishes, he asked in confusion, "Didn't you tell me not to talk?"
He didn't really think that much about it. Although it was a bit strange that Shen Zhixia was eating meat at this time, he guessed that it was a gift from someone or that Shen Zhixia had bought it herself.
Huo Chenzhou had no intention of asking about such a trivial matter.
Shen Zhixia was now extremely nervous. She stared at Huo Chenzhou and said, "You've changed. You don't talk to me anymore. You don't want to talk to me."
Huo Chenzhou: "?"
Shen Zhixia: "I told you not to talk, so you just didn't talk? This shows you don't value me or care about me."
Huo Chenzhou racked his brains but didn't know how to answer. He could only ask cautiously, "Then I'll tell you, wife, what are you doing in the kitchen so late?"
Shen Zhixia glared at him and said fiercely, "Isn't it obvious? I'm eating."
"Yes." Huo Chenzhou thought that Shen Zhixia needed care, so he asked with concern, "This piece of beef is really good. Did you buy it yourself, or was it a gift?"
Shen Zhixia suddenly stood up, becoming very agitated: "I only ate a piece of beef, and you feel sorry for me and are questioning me about where it came from?"
"No, if you like beef, I'll ask someone to find out and buy you the freshest beef..."
“I’m not free in this house at all. Even if I eat meat at night, you will criticize me. You even get up to monitor me. Are you afraid I will eat you out of house and home? If that’s the case, then I’ll leave.”
"I didn't."
Huo Chenzhou panicked. He hurriedly explained, "You can eat as much as you want. I didn't get up to monitor you. I just saw you were missing and was afraid something had happened to you, so I got up to look for you."
"Then why are you asking me where the beef comes from?"
"I was just asking casually, I didn't mean anything by it." Huo Chenzhou was sweating profusely, afraid that Shen Zhixia would be angry with him.
Actually, Shen Zhixia rarely argues with him, but this time he sensed that Shen Zhixia was about to get angry, and when she got angry, he didn't know how to coax her back.
Shen Zhixia said, "That's more like it. Anyway, you can't always interfere in my affairs."
"I won't get involved."
