Chapter 48: Here you go
Chapter 48: Here you go
"What's wrong with you? I asked you what you want to eat, what are you spacing out for?" Mo Xunhuan said, displeased.
"Eat...eat what?"
"Yes, stir-fry, noodles, or spicy hot pot are all fine."
Under Mo Xunhuan's questioning, Lan Ruoxin blurted out, "Instant noodles!"
"Huh? Instant noodles?" Mo Xunhuan was slightly taken aback. He looked back at the bag and found only a handful of dried noodles, not instant noodles.
"But I didn't buy instant noodles!"
"I have some, it's in the fridge."
Mo Xunhuan went to the refrigerator and opened it. It was full of drinks, instant noodles, sausages, eggs, milk and the like. It was all fast food and there were no vegetables at all.
"Goodness, do you eat instant noodles every day?" Mo Xunhuan turned around and looked at her in surprise.
Lan Ruoxin blushed slightly and nodded, "Fast food is convenient, but most of the time I order takeout."
"Okay, then let's have instant noodles. But even instant noodles depend on how they're made."
Mo Xunhuan took two packets of instant noodles, two eggs, and two sausages from the refrigerator and headed to the kitchen.
He took out tomatoes and greens from the bag of vegetables he bought and washed them clean.
Chop the tomatoes into small pieces, put them in a pan with oil and stir-fry until they become a juice. Then add the eggs and stir-fry together. Finally, add two bowls of water and start cooking.
In the living room, Lan Ruoxin, wearing a lace nightgown, sat on the sofa with her hands clasped together, her mind racing.
Why is he back? And he even cooked for me? How could I miss the bus? Even if there were no buses, I could have taken a taxi, or used my phone to hail a ride…
Lan Ruoxin, who had never been in a relationship, knew nothing about this kind of thing, and even if her CPU burned out, she still couldn't figure it out.
"Alright, the tomato, egg, and ham instant noodles are ready. You can eat now."
At this moment, Mo Xunhuan came over carrying two large bowls of instant noodles.
Lan Ruoxin quickly got up, took a bowl, and placed it on the table. The ordinary instant noodles had been transformed into a fragrant tomato and egg instant noodle dish, complete with ham, vegetables, and other ingredients, making it look very appetizing.
But more importantly, this was made by Mo Xunhuan himself, noodles he made for himself.
And just now, I even tried to coerce him...
Looking at the bowl of noodles in front of her, Lan Ruoxin's eyes involuntarily reddened, and she felt a deep sense of regret.
Am I really out of my mind? I said so many hurtful things to him today. I know him perfectly well; he couldn't possibly be that kind of promiscuous man...
Thinking about what she had done today, Lan Ruoxin felt extremely remorseful and ashamed.
"What's wrong? The noodles are ready, eat up! Are you worried I'll poison them? I'll eat first then." With that, Mo Xunhuan picked up his chopsticks and took a big bite of noodles.
Coming to her senses, Lan Ruoxin quickly shook her head, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating, wolfing down her noodles.
"Hey, slow down! Have you not eaten for days?" Mo Xunhuan was startled by her wolfing down her food and quickly showed concern.
Little did anyone know that Lan Ruoxin was wolfing down her food because she felt ashamed and could only vent her feelings by eating noodles.
"Cough cough cough..."
"See, you're choking. Quickly drink some water." Seeing Lan Ruoxin coughing while eating, Mo Xunhuan quickly brought her a glass of water.
After taking a sip of water to calm herself down, Lan Ruoxin continued to eat heartily, tears streaming down her face as she ate, which made the noodles in her mouth gradually taste a bit salty.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade the other party, Mo Xunhuan shook his head helplessly and lowered his head to eat his noodles.
After finishing the noodles, Lan Ruoxin took the initiative to wash the dishes in the kitchen.
Mo Xunhuan sat leisurely on the sofa, picked up the remote, turned on the TV, and started watching cartoons.
After washing the dishes, Lan Ruoxin returned to the sofa and sat down to watch cartoons with Mo Xunhuan.
Time passed slowly, and after 10 minutes of silence, Lan Ruoxin finally spoke up to ask.
"Why...did you come back?"
"Didn't I say I missed the bus and was a bit hungry, so I came to your place to cook for me?" Mo Xunhuan said casually.
"Is that a reason? Even if there's no bus, you can call a taxi, or something else..."
"Ruoxin!" Mo Xunhuan interrupted her, looking up from the television and at her.
"You're a good person, a good woman!"
Faced with Mo Xunhuan's sudden "friend card," Lan Ruoxin was stunned and caught off guard.
Why...did you bring this up?
"I don't know either, it's just something I felt like saying!" Mo Xunhuan smiled faintly, raised his hand and patted the sofa cushion next to him, taking the initiative to invite him.
"Come sit closer to me."
"Oh!" Lan Ruoxin quickly moved her body and sat down next to Mo Xunhuan, but still kept a distance of one centimeter from him.
"Get closer, what are you afraid of?" Mo Xunhuan moved his body to sit close to her and placed his hand on her smooth thigh.
"I...I didn't."
Suddenly, the atmosphere became ambiguous, and Lan Ruoxin's heart began to race, her cheeks flushing red.
"I'm so tired, I'll just lie down and watch!" Mo Xunhuan took off his shoes and lay down on the sofa, resting his head on Lan Ruoxin's firm thighs, quietly watching TV.
Faced with this behavior that resembled that of a couple, Lan Ruoxin appeared calm on the surface, but was actually overjoyed inside. However, she didn't know where to put her hands, so she finally chose to place them on Mo Xunhuan's head and gently stroke his head.
After watching TV for a few minutes, Mo Xunhuan finally spoke, asking, "Hey, you like me, right?"
"Huh?" Faced with this straightforward question, Lan Ruoxin was a little embarrassed, but she still admitted it.
"Yes, I like you. I've liked you since high school, and that hasn't changed over the years."
"Never? It's been almost 10 years, which means you've been single for ten years because of me. No wonder you were so excited today. It's understandable to be excited when you find out that the person you have a crush on has such a promiscuous side. It's normal." Mo Xunhuan couldn't help but sigh.
Suddenly, he turned his head to look up at Lan Ruoxin, but half of his view was blocked by the pair of eyes, so he raised his hand to hold them down.
Lan Ruoxin blushed and looked into Mo Xunhuan's eyes, feeling shy and nervous.
"You're so beautiful. If I hadn't confirmed your identity, I would never have imagined that the short-haired, thick-glasses, school uniform class monitor from high school would now be a sexy and mature woman."
Hearing Mo Xunhuan's praise, Lan Ruoxin couldn't help but feel a little flattered, and boldly asked, "Then... then do you like me as I am now?"
"It's impossible not to like it."
Mo Xunhuan sat up, gently stroking her pretty face, and asked in return, "And you? Do you hate me now? I've shattered the perfect image you had of me. Faced with me in this wretched state, would you still like me?"
