Chapter 361 It's hopeless

Chapter 361 It's hopeless

He had this same serious expression on his face during the meeting today.

No wonder those people were looking at him so strangely; not a single person was listening attentively, they were all staring at his face.

If someone's face were painted like this, then indeed... hahaha.

Huo Chenzhou started washing his face, washing it continuously.

His face was covered in black ink drawings, a dark mess.

Then he discovered that it couldn't be cleaned at all!

His face eventually turned blue, completely blue.

It would have been better not to wash it at all. Before, you could say it was a child drawing on his face, but now it looks like an alien.

I'm so depressed.

Huo Chenzhou did not go out.

Shen Zhixia invited him out for dinner, but he refused.

"Don't think about it anymore. Anyway, it's all in the past. Even if you're still upset, there's nothing you can do about it." Shen Zhixia thought he was still upset about being seen today, so she comforted him.

No one can be cheerful after something like this happens, at least not Huo Chenzhou; he was very depressed.

To avoid worrying Shen Zhixia, he eventually went outside, and that's when Shen Zhixia saw his face.

"Hahahaha!" Shen Zhixia couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Huo Chenzhou said dejectedly, "Wife, stop laughing at me all the time, help me think of a solution."

Shen Zhixia didn't actually want to laugh at him unless she really couldn't help it, and clearly, she couldn't help it this time.

She coughed and said, "Let me help you wash."

She then took out soap and other things to help Huo Chenzhou wash his face.

After all that effort, the marks on Huo Chenzhou's face remained stubbornly visible.

Shen Zhixia sighed inwardly: "Things from this era are really genuine. Even if it's just a pen, it simply can't be erased."

She worked for a long time before noticing that Huo Chenzhou's face had turned purple.

That's even stranger.

Huo Chenzhou obviously saw it in the mirror as well.

I'm speechless.

Shen Zhixia coughed and said helplessly, "Don't go to the army for the next few days. I'll ask for leave for you."

That's all we can do.

Let alone going to the army, he's in such a state that he can't even go out.

That's absolutely shameful.

Huo Chenzhou wasn't known for his good temper, but he had an unusual patience with his family. Like his mother, he doted on his two children.

But today, he was a little angry.

The twins' behavior was indeed excessive.

Huo Chenzhou called the two children over.

He felt that they were indeed in the wrong in this matter and needed to be taught a lesson.

Shen Zhixia heard about this.

She felt that the two children were really too naughty. She wasn't so naughty when she was a child. However, Huo's mother and Huo Chenzhou always spoiled the two children. Now that Huo Chenzhou was finally on the same side as her, she felt quite happy.

They should be taught properly now so that they can learn from this experience.

When Da Bao saw Huo Chenzhou's face, he asked in a curious and clear voice, "Dad, why has your face turned purple?"

Xiao Bao quietly covered his mouth and said, "Hehe."

Huo Chenzhou felt a pain in his teeth. He put on a stern face and asked seriously, "Why are you playing pranks on me and drawing on my face?"

He glanced at the twins and asked again, "Whose idea was this anyway?"

I thought the two children would try to shift the blame and refuse to admit it, but to my surprise, the older one bravely stepped forward and said in a clear voice, "It was me!"

Her voice was loud and clear; if you didn't know better, you'd think she was there to receive an award.

Xiao Bao replied softly, "I also helped a lot."

Huo Chenzhou felt that not only his teeth hurt, but his whole body ached.

What kind of mess is this?

He asked, his head aching, "Why did you do this?"

Da Bao said, "Because Dad works very hard every day, I drew my favorite cookies for him, hoping that he will have lots of cookies he can't finish eating."

Xiao Bao nodded and said, "Yes, I drew my favorite butt-shaped cookies for Dad."

The twins had innocent eyes that were clear and transparent, showing no ill intentions whatsoever.

Huo Chenzhou's heart softened immediately.

He was even thinking about punishing the two children just now.

What could the two children have done wrong?

They just wanted to give him a gift, but they were too young and didn't understand anything, which is why they made such a blunder. In the end, they were innocent.

Da Bao tilted his head to look at him and suddenly said, "What else does Dad like to eat? I'll draw it for Dad."

Huo Chenzhou quickly said, "No need, I have already received your kindness, and I don't need it anymore."

The paint on his face can't be removed, so we can't let the two children continue drawing on his face.

Upon hearing this, the two children seemed somewhat disappointed.

While Huo Chenzhou was disciplining the two children, Shen Zhixia went out to wash vegetables, leaving them alone. After a while, she saw the two children come out, their faces beaming with joy as they played in the mud in the yard.

Shen Zhixia: "?"

Wasn't Huo Chenzhou going to punish them severely?

But it doesn't seem like the punishment was severe.

As soon as Shen Zhixia entered, she asked, "Weren't you going to teach them a lesson? How did you teach them a lesson?"

Huo Chenzhou's gaze drifted, and he repeated what Da Bao had said. He sighed, "They meant well. They like me so much that they gave me this gift. I misunderstood them."

As he spoke, a look of emotion appeared on his face.

Shen Zhixia: "?"

Should Huo Chenzhou take a look at his own face before saying such things...?

Whatever the reason, she believed that what the twins did was wrong and they needed to be taught a lesson. But Huo Chenzhou just let them off so easily.

Hearing the twins laughing in the yard, Shen Zhixia sighed.

Since Huo Chenzhou didn't pursue the matter, she had no way to question the child.

This time, Shen Zhixia asked Huo Chenzhou for leave for three days, on the grounds that Huo Chenzhou was sick.

Since no one knew the details, they genuinely thought Huo Chenzhou was sick.

It wasn't a big deal, but the next day, Zhang Weihong and Wang Jianguo came to visit Huo Chenzhou, bringing with them a bag of brown sugar.

Zhang Weihong said, "Xiao Shen, I heard your husband is sick. Is it nothing serious?"

Shen Zhixia smiled and said, "You're too kind. He just has a minor cold and is almost fully recovered. It's nothing."

Zhang Weihong said, "That's good..."

Before he could finish speaking, Huo Chenzhou suddenly walked out from inside.

He clearly hadn't expected to have guests, so he ended up facing Zhang Weihong and Wang Jianguo.

The paint on his face had faded a lot, but it was still there.

In that instant, everyone basically guessed what was going on.

The worst thing is when the air suddenly goes quiet.

In the end, it was Zhang Weihong who pulled Wang Jianguo away.

Huo Chenzhou was utterly humiliated and sat speechlessly in his chair, staring into the void as if deep in thought.

Shen Zhixia said, "Sister Zhang always said she envied my two children, but now she probably doesn't. These two children are even more mischievous than her son."

Huo Chenzhou said seriously, "My child is much better than her son."

Shen Zhixia glanced at him.

Alright.

This is hopeless.

Even in this situation, he still wants to protect his two children.
