Chapter 49 Love Brain
Shen Zhuyi arrived at the office and began to organize today's lesson plan. Liu Kexin carefully observed her expression and asked tentatively: "Zhuyi, how are you?"
Chen Zhu continued writing without taking his eyes off the lesson plan.
"That's it."
Seeing that Chen Zhuyi was unwilling to talk, Liu Kexin did not ask any more questions and changed the subject.
"Are you still going to send the article today?"
"Send it." Chen Zhu put down the last stroke of the pen: "We'll go after I finish my class."
"OK."
"Teacher Shen, there's someone looking for you at the door." The gatekeeper knocked on the door.
Chen Zhuyi paused and immediately wondered who was at the door.
"Please tell him I don't have time."
"Hey! Good!"
The old man turned around and went back to the door, telling Huo Jinzhi what Chen Zhuyi had said truthfully.
Huo Jinzhi stared at the closed door of the office, bitterness flashed in his eyes. He nodded to the guard and turned to stand aside.
The guard looked at Huo Jinzhi's actions, sighed and shook his head, then turned back to his lounge chair to bask in the sun.
Chen Zhu went to the classroom and returned to the office after class, then turned to look at Liu Kexin.
"Let's go."
Liu Kexin looked at Chen Zhuyi, wanting to say something but stopping herself, but she said nothing. She nodded, packed up her things, and went out with her.
When he reached the door, Chen Zhuyi knew why Liu Kexin made that expression.
When his eyes met Huo Jinzhi's, Chen Zhu turned his head.
"Kexin, go to the office and wait for me. I'll come find you in a while."
"good!"
Chen Zhu looked at Huo Jinzhi, his eyes fell on his bloodshot eyes, he was silent for a moment, and then he said: "Let's find a place to talk."
When they arrived at the playground, there was no physical education class at this time, so Chen Zhuyi sat on the swing.
"We're not a good match."
Huo Jinzhi waited for three or four hours without saying anything. When he heard this, his voice was a little hoarse.
"Why?"
"For many reasons, love cannot withstand all difficulties. Moreover, we are not in love yet, we are just getting along, so I have the right to end our relationship."
Huo Jinzhi felt that breathing was a little difficult as he looked at Chen Zhuyi who had no expression on his face.
"Because of Xie Lingyi?"
"No." Chen Zhuyi was very clear: "You can't say it's because of her. I just simply feel that we are not suitable. Captain Huo, you are very good and suitable for someone better. I promised you my family's secret recipe before, and I will give it to you when you find the right other half."
"What's wrong? I can change it." Huo Jinzhi looked at Chen Zhuyi. He wanted to insist a little longer.
Chen Zhu shook his head.
"Maybe it's just a feeling, Captain Huo, we can still be friends."
"I can resign." Huo Jinzhi said.
Chen Zhu swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and looked at Huo Jinzhi in disbelief.
"You...resigned?"
"Well, if it's Comrade Xie's fault, I can resign, report to my parents, marry me, and take you away to another place where she will definitely not harass you."
Chen Zhuyi took a long time to digest the news and was a little shocked.
"Do you know what resigning means?"
Battalion commander, how much effort did it take, how many scars did you bear, to climb to this position, and now he just says he doesn't want it?
"Are you in love?"
Huo Jinzhi didn't know what "love-brained" meant, but it didn't sound like a derogatory term.
"I like you, and I'm very sure of my feelings, so I want to pursue you. If you don't have any feelings for me and I cause you trouble, then I won't appear in front of you again. But if there are other factors that make you not want to be with me, I want to try harder."
Huo Jinzhi looked at Chen Zhuyi very seriously.
"I have three older brothers, and I'm the youngest. If I quit my job, you don't have to worry about me not being able to support you. I can ask them to find me a job, or I can work in my brother's factory. I can endure hardships, and I won't let you live a hard life."
At this point, Huo Jinzhi's eyes flashed with confusion, but he still took a deep breath.
"I did have two wives before. You should have heard about this. But I was with my first wife because of a mission. We were just pretending to be a couple while hiding in the mission. She died. We didn't do anything other than being husband and wife in name only. My second wife is from my mother's family. She jumped into the river and I rescued her. We got married because of the physical intimacy we had..."
Huo Jinzhi's voice was filled with hesitation and shame.
"She had someone she liked and didn't want to be with me. I had been on the front lines and had rarely seen her. Later, when I was injured and returned home, I found her with someone else. She knelt down and begged me, and I forgave her."
When Chen Zhu heard this, he was so shocked that he couldn't even describe it.
Huo Jinzhi organized his words and continued speaking.
"Later, I was injured and went to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor said there was something wrong with me... down there. She immediately divorced me, putting the blame on me, and ran off with that man."
Chen Zhu's eyes widened.
Oh my god!
So, after being married twice, she still came back as a virgin?
Chen Zhuyi was a little reluctant to believe it, but looking at Huo Jinzhi's expression, he didn't look like he was lying.
Huo Jinzhi laid out all his contempt in front of Shen Zhuyi: "I really like you. You are the first lesbian I like. Your optimism, strength, intelligence and beauty have deeply attracted me."
Chen Zhu smiled.
This is not a lie. Who would confess and say that they are only attracted by your appearance?
Huo Jinzhi saw Chen Zhu smile, clenched his fists, and his voice was full of tension that he could hardly suppress.
"So, are you willing to accept my pursuit?"
"I don't know." Chen Zhuyi said truthfully: "I want to think about it, okay?"
She knew a lot today, and her mind was a little confused.
Seeing that Chen Zhuyi did not refuse forcefully, Huo Jinzhi breathed a sigh of relief and did not dare to push him too hard.
"Okay, I'm leaving now. When you've figured it out, you can come find me, or you can ask someone to call me."
Chen Zhu nodded, and Huo Jinzhi left.
When Chen Zhu returned to the office, he ignored everyone's gossiping gazes and walked up to Liu Kexin: "Let's go?"
On the way to the post office with Liu Kexin, Chen Zhuyi kept thinking about Huo Jinzhi's words.
He is very sincere.
This was Chen Zhuyi’s first thought.
Every word Huo Jinzhi said was not in his own interest, but he was always thinking of her.
Chen Zhuyi felt that his mind was a little confused and he couldn't figure it out.
It feels like there are two little people fighting in my mind.
Liu Kexin, who was standing by, didn't dare to speak either. It was not until they arrived at the post office that Chen Zhuyi came to his senses.
"Hello, I want to send something."
"Chen Zhiqing? Just right, there is a package for you. Remember to take it with you when you leave later." The postman pointed to the huge package behind him and took out a letter from it.
"This is yours too."
Chen Zhuyi thought it was a letter from Ma Niannian, but when he saw the three big words "Zhao Anche" on the sender, he was stunned.
