Chapter 376: Walking Towards Her in the Pouring Rain
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Shanchu did not move. After two seconds, she waved her hand, indicating that she needed to rest.
This scene consumed a lot of her emotions, and she still had not recovered from it.
He Xiang looked at her worriedly. Just as she was about to say something, she saw someone walking towards her.
“Teach… Teacher Huo?”
Lin Shanchu raised her head slowly.
A tall man was holding an umbrella as he walked towards her in the pouring rain.
The others around her looked surprised when they noticed Huo Xunzhou.
The sound of discussion was drowned out by the rain.
He Xiang was also stunned on the spot.
It had only been a few months since they last met, but Huo Xunzhou’s legs were now fine?
Huo Xunzhou took the towel from He Xiang’s hands, knelt down in front of Lin Shanchu and stuffed the umbrella in his hand into hers.
Lin Shanchu subconsciously took the umbrella. After that, Huo Xunzhou wrapped the towel around her and picked her up from the ground. Lin Shanchu jolted due to inertia and the umbrella in her hand also swayed.
Huo Xunzhou looked straight ahead and slowly walked forward. His gentle voice, which was mixed with the sound of the rain, sounded a little surreal.
“Hold the umbrella firmly.”
“Oh,” Lin Shanchu replied slowly before coming to her senses.
She looked away from his profile and looked up at the top of the umbrella, holding it seriously.
The long-handled umbrella had a good texture and was a little heavy. She had to hold it tightly with both hands to hold it firmly.
The director jogged over when he saw the two of them approaching him.
“President Huo?”
Huo Xunzhou turned to the director and nodded slightly. Then, he said, “I’ll take Shanshan back to the hotel first.”
The director hurriedly nodded his head and even reminded him repeatedly, “Okay, okay, okay. You guys may go back first. Remember to take some cold medicine. He Xiang has it.”
He Xiang hurried over and greeted the director.
“Director, we’ll be leaving now.”
“Go ahead. Don’t forget to give Sister Lin some cold medicine.”
“Alright!”
Seeing the group of people walk away, the other staff members gathered around the director.
“It’s really Best Actor Huo!”
“I was wondering why he didn’t come to visit Lin Shanchu at work after such a long time. It turned out that he went to treat his legs.”
“But… Didn’t he say that his legs were incurable? How could they be cured in four months? What kind of medical miracle is this?”
“Modern medicine advances quickly. Isn’t it normal that people who couldn’t be cured a year ago can be cured a year later?”
.Really?”
“Perhaps it’s the power of love…”
He Xiang trotted after them and took the lead to open the car door. Then, she took the umbrella from Lin Shanchu and asked Huo Xunzhou to put her in the car.
Seeing that the two of them had gotten into the car, He Xiang hurriedly closed the door and went to the driver’s seat to start driving.
Lin Shanchu leaned against the corner and pulled the towel over her body, staring at Huo Xunzhou without blinking.
Huo Xunzhou turned around and met her gaze before he asked with a laugh,
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
Just as Lin Shanchu was about to say something, she glanced at He Xiang in the driver’s seat. Then, she quickly bit her tongue and beckoned Huo Xunzhou to come closer.
Huo Xunzhou’s heart skipped a beat as he leaned over.
Lin Shanchu raised her head slightly and whispered into his ear. Her voice was so soft that it sounded like she was breathing.
“Did you take out a loan to send me jewelry every day?”
There was a hint of curiosity in her serious tone. After she finished speaking, she tilted her head to look at his face and waited for his answer.
Huo Xunzhou, on the other hand, remained motionless like a statue, as if he had been completely sealed.
Lin Shanchu blinked.
Did she say it too directly and hurt his self-esteem?
Although Huo Xunzhou was a man of dignified bearing, he had strong self-esteem.
She asked Huo Xunzhou in a lowered voice just now because she considered his self-esteem and wanted to prevent He Xiang from hearing her.
She did not expect that it would hurt his self-esteem.
After about ten seconds, Huo Xunzhou finally responded.
“Do you think so?” He slightly narrowed his charming eyes with a complicated look on his face. Lin Shanchu could not see through his current emotions.
Lin Shanchu hesitated.
She did not know if she should tell the truth or lie to protect his self-esteem.
But what kind of person was Huo Xunzhou?
He knew what Lin Shanchu was thinking just by looking at her expression. Huo Xunzhou took a deep breath and tried his best to sound calm.
“I understand.”
They had not seen each other for four months and rarely contacted each other.
He did not expect Lin Shanchu to throw herself into his arms and say that she missed him when they met again.
However, he did not expect that Lin Shanchu would ask him if he had bought the jewelry with a loan the moment she met him..
Huo Xunzhou let out a long sigh and turned to look at the rain outside the window. Then, he asked He Xiang, “How much longer until we reach the hotel?”
“It’s just ahead.”
Huo Xunzhou followed He Xiang’s gaze and saw a hotel not far away.
Lin Shanchu was drenched and needed to hurry back to take a hot shower.
When Lin Shanchu saw that Huo Xunzhou had stopped talking, she tightened the towel around her and moved closer to Huo Xunzhou, not letting her wet clothes touch him.
“Why did you suddenly cure your legs?”
Lin Shanchu kept her voice low. After all, the condition of Huo Xunzhou’s legs was a secret.
“I just felt like treating them.” Huo Xunzhou frowned slightly when he saw water dripping down her hair. Then, he reached out to run his fingers through her hair.
Insatiably greedy, Lin Shanchu hugged his arm and squeezed into his embrace.
Huo Xunzhou let her squeeze into his arms without saying a word or moving.
Lin Shanchu asked, “Why do you look upset?”
Huo Xunzhou raised an eyebrow and said expressionlessly, “No, I’m so happy right now.”
Lin Shanchu was speechless. She really could not tell it at all.
At this moment, Lin Shanchu felt something hard pressing against her head.
“No,” Huo Xunzhou said without batting an eyelid.
“Obviously yes.” Lin Shanchu said as she reached into his suit collar.
The man who denied it earlier tried to stop her by holding her hand firmly.
Of course, Lin Shanchu would not give up so easily. She tried to break free from his grip.
She had been pumping iron for the past few months. When she exerted strength in her palms, her slender forearms showed beautiful muscle lines.
Huo Xunzhou stared at her arm for a moment and curled his lip slightly.
He could tell that she had been pumping iron seriously in the past few months and her strength had increased a lot.
Lin Shanchu pouted unwillingly as she noticed that she could not break free from his grip. “If you are not hiding anything, so be it.”
At this moment, the car stopped.
“We’re here.” He Xiang looked back at them before she got out of the car to open the door for them and hold the umbrella.
When Lin Shanchu got out of the car, she reached out to Huo Xunzhou as if she was asking for a hug.
Huo Xunzhou’s eyes softened as he bent over to carry her out of the car.
He felt that Lin Shanchu still missed him very much..
