Chapter 108: Regaining Strength



Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan went back to see if anything valuable was burned, and the first place they rushed to was the iron box under the pillow at the head of the bed.

After seeing the deposited property deeds and cash, Shen Zhizhu breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the bed.

"When I came in and saw that the quilt was fine, I thought there might not be anything serious in the inner room. But when I really saw it myself, I was really relieved."

Xu Haonan went to the place where shoes were stored, took out a pair of shoes, squatted down, and wanted to put them on Shen Zhizhu.

"No, your feet will get dirty. Save it for later."

That's true. Xu Haonan didn't force it. After putting his shoes there, he sat on the bed and held Shen Zhizhu's hand.

"I just looked around and found that only the things near the outside of our house were damaged. Everything inside was fine. There were some clothes to change into, and your sewing machine was intact as well."

Shen Zhizhu's mentality is still okay. She has experienced many ups and downs in her previous life, so this little thing is not enough to crush her.

However, Shen Zhizhu was still very happy with Xu Haonan holding his hand to comfort him.

"The bed is good, thanks to everyone who came in time and the rain. Otherwise, I'm afraid our home would be lost and we would have to sleep in the fields in the future."

"How can we be reduced to sleeping in the fields? We can use the money we have saved to rent a house in the city for the time being."

Of course Shen Zhizhu knew that this was just a joke, and she still had some money with Shen Chunli and hadn't taken it back yet.

She patted the bed. Seeing how bad the weather was, they couldn't sleep any more. They should pack up and go to the city for the exam.

Since the clothes weren't burned, there's no need to wear the ones from Aunt Li's house.

"Let's boil some water for a bath."

"Okay, wait for me for a moment, I'll be there soon."

Judging from Xu Haonan's departing back, he was not affected by the fire. Shen Zhizhu was relieved. As she thought, Xu Haonan was not affected by the fire. What he feared most was that the moment he saw the fire, he would think of Shen Zhizhu who was sleeping next to him.

He was afraid that Shen Zhizhu would get hurt.

The fire also effectively eliminated his previous fear of exams. He felt very calm in his heart. He felt it was magical, but he didn't know why.

"Ah, I didn't expect that this life wouldn't be so easy. It was probably because of me, this variable, that I changed the predetermined outcome."

In her previous life, she had never experienced someone setting her house on fire, so she couldn't be 100% sure that the other person was Shen Xiaojie just because of a piece of rag. Shen Xiaojie was only brave enough to act arrogantly, and he would be scared if the other person was a little stronger.

If the other party says he wants to steal the house deed, that is possible.

When Du Zai De left that day, the look in his eyes when he looked at her was certainly vicious, but it was because her child also had to take an exam the next day, so she had a preconceived idea that he would not bother with her for the sake of Du Manjun's future.

The reason why she followed everyone's speculation and said it might be Shen Xiaojie was, firstly, that Shen Xiaojie was indeed the biggest suspect and the most worthy of suspicion so far, and secondly, if the arsonist was not Shen Xiaojie, then everyone would speculate that it was Shen Xiaojie, which would, to a certain extent, make the real arsonist relax his vigilance and reveal his true colors.

There's no way. She has lived a selfish life with a prickly personality. There are many people who have opinions about her. It's really hard to guess.

If she couldn’t guess, she would give up and just fall backwards.

"Destroy it. Don't think about it anymore. Do your best on the exam. Leave professional matters to professionals, and leave the difficult questions to the police."

Shen Zhizhu lay on his side on the bed, counting the money he had saved, laughing happily with his eyes shining.

[Sure enough, no matter when, whether it’s a lot of money or a little, seeing money always makes people happy, hehehe~]

When Xu Haonan came in with hot water, he saw Shen Zhizhu's back and vaguely saw some banknotes exposed. He stretched out two bills in his hand, his shoulders shook, and he laughed foolishly.

He thought it was kind of cute. Shen Zhizhu's money-loving look was really endearing. Ah Zhu liked money and liked making money even more. Xu Haonan knew this.

He made up his mind that he would make a lot of money in the future and give it all to Azhu for safekeeping. Xu Haonan liked to see Shen Zhizhu happily counting money.

"The water is ready. Take a shower first, but be quick or you may catch a cold."

"Okay! Here I come!"

Shen Zhizhu jumped up from the bed and was about to jump to the ground barefoot, but Xu Haonan quickly grabbed him into his arms, sounding a little unhappy.

"How come you love running around barefoot? Aren't you afraid of getting cold?"

How could Shen Zhizhu refuse Xu Haonan's hug? She was not afraid at all. Instead, she wrapped her arms around Xu Haonan's arms, lowered her head slightly, and stared at Xu Haonan with seductive eyes.

"Yes, then please ask my husband to carry me there."

This time Xu Haonan was at a loss. His face, which had been tense just now, was instantly filled with helplessness. However, he pretended to be calm and held Shen Zhizhu's waist to prevent him from falling.

In the other hand he was holding a steaming bucket.

Not daring to look Shen Zhizhu in the eye, he responded timidly.

"good."

But Shen Zhizhu listened carefully and understood the restraint contained in that short word.

[My heart is beating so fast. I am so sad. But why doesn’t she want to have a baby with me? I have practiced the angle just now for a long time and even asked Chunli for advice. Why is she so indifferent and doesn’t even look at me? Am I bad?]

Thinking about it, she looked down at herself.

[How perfect, with ups and downs, and fullness, is it because of the waistline? This is not enough, I will find time to exercise in this life, and the mermaid line is definitely there, it's really puzzling. ]

Xu Haonan listened to every word that Shen Zhizhu complained about and questioned him in his heart. He wanted to say that he was not indifferent. God knew how much willpower he had to stay from standing up. He thought about all the sad things in his heart and finally managed to suppress the smile.

He felt the heat of his own palms. Xu Haonan was afraid that the temperature would let Shen Zhizhu notice something, so he didn't dare to change his gestures easily. But there was a reason why he was reluctant to let go.

But tomorrow is a special day and there is no time to do other things. Xu Haonan thought that he had to wait until the exam was over. He could feel how much Shen Zhizhu valued this exam.

Even when I was talking in my dreams at midnight, I was mumbling formulas and sentences.

How could he do something so inappropriate at such a critical moment? If it affected Ah Zhu's performance and he failed to get into the university of his choice, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

But Shen Zhizhu didn't know what Xu Haonan was thinking, so they both kept their thoughts to themselves and neither of them spoke.
