Chapter 2156: Chapter 2064: Heartflutter, in Just a Moment 2
For some reason, just seeing a pair of chopsticks, he could imagine Xia Weibao sitting there, taking a bite, disdaining his cooking, and then throwing the chopsticks away in frustration.
The heart that he had painstakingly hardened softened due to a pair of randomly tossed chopsticks, a bowl of rice nibbled a couple of times, and a half-eaten vegetable.
Even the corners of his mouth gently lifted, with a tenderness even he was unaware of in his eyes.
He glanced at the room’s curtain, a soft light filtering through.
Lu Hualiang walked to the door, lifted his foot, retracted it, and turned to the small kitchen.
She hadn’t eaten dinner; she must still be hungry.
He cooked two bowls of simple egg noodles and brought them in. Xia Weibao was leaning on the table, weakly biting a tea cup and groaning.
"I’m so hungry, I’m starving to death, what should I do..."
Upon hearing footsteps, she lifted her head and her eyes lit up when she saw the noodles in his hands.
She ran over with a wow, stopped in front of him, and looked at the two bowls of noodles a bit embarrassed, "Are these made for me?"
After speaking, she reached out to get a bit of soup, then put it into her mouth and smacked lightly, "Delicious."
Lu Hualiang couldn’t help but smile, "Go sit down properly."
As grown as she is, how does she still use her hand to pick food to eat, not caring about the dirtiness.
He glanced at the woman sitting properly next to the table, her delicate face still carrying a hint of innocence, and her eyes very clear.
Lu Hualiang was somewhat dazed, suddenly realizing that she was still very young.
Carrying the noodles over, he pushed one bowl in front of her.
Xia Weibao smiled sweetly, "Then I won’t hold back."
Lu Hualiang did not move his chopsticks, instead firmly watched her eat.
Growing up with a diet of exotic foods, he never felt a bowl of noodles was delicious, but seeing her eat so happily, he suddenly felt this bowl of noodles was truly a delicacy.
Soon, Xia Weibao’s bowl was empty.
Lu Hualiang looked at his own untouched noodles, divided half for her, and also transferred the egg to her bowl.
Xia Weibao smiled shyly, "Am I eating too much? Should I leave some for you?"
"No need, I’m not hungry." Lu Hualiang chuckled softly, his tone warm, "Are you very hungry?"
"Hungry, didn’t eat dinner, almost starved to death."
"If you were hungry, why didn’t you eat the meal?"
Xia Weibao immediately curled her lips disdainfully, "Tastes bad."
In the past, she never felt her cooking was bad, as long as it filled the stomach it was fine, but after eating this man’s cooking at noon, she found her own creations truly pig feed, hard to swallow.
Lu Hualiang laughed again, "Then if I were to leave, what would you do? Who would cook for you?"
"I’d cook for myself then, just make do with whatever, doesn’t it all go down the same way whether tasty or not, won’t starve to death anyway."
The casual tone rendered Lu Hualiang stunned, his mind conjuring the image of her sitting alone by a table, facing a bowl of hardly palatable rice, accompanied by two or three dishes that not even pigs would eat, very reluctantly but forced to swallow down, the location of his heart throbbed dully.
He lifted his head and looked around blankly, everything quietly barren, very lonely.
This afternoon he wandered for so long, without seeing a single household.
In other words, she lived alone in this deep mountain forest, what kind of solitude was that?
It shouldn’t be this way, such a bright and lovely woman, shouldn’t be this way.
"Living here by yourself, don’t you feel lonely?" Lu Hualiang asked.
Xia Weibao drank the last sip of noodle soup, licked her lips, "No, I have little rabbits."
