Zuo Yue stared at the boiling water in the pot and suddenly moved her hand away from her mouth. She muttered,ââCrazy.â
She turned around and took the noodles and put them into the boiling water. Then, she went to prepare other seasonings to go with the noodles.
After more than ten minutes, a bowl of steaming noodles was brought out and placed on the dining table. Zuo Yue then took the Chinese chopsticks and the omelet that she had just fried and placed them on the dining table.
Xu Chengfeng was standing by the sofa and drinking water. He looked back and saw the noodles and egg pancakes that Zuo Yue had personally cooked. He immediately raised his eyebrows and walked over slowly.
âEat. Even if you still donât have an appetite, if you continue to starve like this, youâll really be joking with your body. You have to eat at least half a bowl of noodles.âZuo Yue said as she signaled him to sit down and eat with her eyes.
Xu Chengfeng looked at the noodles on the dining table for a while, then looked thoughtfully at Zuo Yue.ââYouâre not eating?â
âI ate too much at noon, and I just got off work, so Iâm not hungry yet.âZuo Yue turned around and walked to the sofa. She picked up the fruit knife and said,ââIâm going to peel some fruit. Hurry up and eat it. Also, Iâm only here to take care of you because youâre a patient.â
Xu Chengfeng chuckled when he heard her deliberately adding that sentence. He sat at the dining table and picked up his chopsticks. He looked at the noodles and a small plate of simple scrambled eggs in front of him.
Zuo Yue was not particularly good at cooking in the past. She could even burn the bread when she toasted, so he did not expect her cooking skills to improve in recent years.
However, it seemed that she had really improved a lot. At least, she looked good.
âThe three years of time spent on a little girl like you have indeed achieved unimaginable changes and growth.âXu Chengfeng suddenly said.
When Zuo Yue heard this, she turned her head and saw that he had already started eating the noodles she cooked. She raised her eyebrows slightly but did not say anything. She sat on the sofa and continued to peel the fruit seriously. She watched as the fruit peels fell on the coffee table without breaking. The scene from before was reflected in Zuo Yueâs eyes.
Su Suâs lips were still on Su Suâs motherâs lips. Her heart, which had long cooled down, and her heart, which had been cast up, had a corner that collapsed, but it was only a corner.
She had indeed taken over the properties in Los Angeles that he had asked Ainte to sell, but how did he know?
He hadnât returned to the United States in the past few years, but he knew everything about the United States like the back of his hand?
Did he know every step she had taken in the past three years and what had happened to her?
After peeling a fruit, Zuo Yue carefully cut it and placed it in the fruit plate. Then, she picked up another fruit and began peeling it.
Xu Chengfeng, who was sitting at the dining table, did not have much appetite because he had been seriously ill for the past two days. However, he did eat more than half a bowl for her sake.
Although Zuo Yueâs craftsmanship was not considered to be at the level of a master, it had a very ordinary taste. This was already her greatest improvement in the past three years.
Zuo Yue had just finished cutting the third fruit when she seemed to hear the movement behind the sofa. Xu Chengfengâs footsteps had always been steady. She did not need to guess to know that he had already finished eating.
She didnât turn around. When she picked up the fourth fruit, a voice came from behind her.â I asked you to peel the fruits, but I didnât ask you to peel all of them. So many preparations, but I have to eat them all by myself?ââ
âDidnât you say that youâre a patient? Iâve already peeled it for you. You can eat as much as you want.âZuo Yue said as she began to cut the fourth fruit in her hand.
Suddenly, someone grabbed his wrist. At the same time, the fourth fruit fell into his palm. Zuo Yue turned around and saw Xu Chengfeng casually weigh the fruit twice and then throw it into the fruit plate. His movements were skillful and relaxed, as if he had recovered a lot after eating something.
She subconsciously wanted to get up, but before she could, Xu Chengfeng suddenly pulled her arm. She stumbled back to her seat and leaned against him passively. Her wrist was also held, so she could not shake it off smoothly.
Zuo Yuejiang sat on the sofa. Xu Chengfeng merely grabbed her wrist and did not do anything else.
It seemed like he just didnât want her to leave just like that.
Zuo Yue sat next to him awkwardly for more than ten seconds before suddenly saying,ââUm, my colleague is still waitingâ¦â
âWhen do you plan to move back here?âWhen Xu Chengfeng let go of her hand, he used a toothpick to pick up a piece of fruit and put it into his mouth. His actions were so natural that it was as if nothing had happened in the past three years.
Zuo Yue looked at him as if he was a lunatic.ââXu Chengfeng, have you lost your memory? Itâs already been so long. Iâve already walked out of those impulsive moments when I was young and ignorant. Isnât this what youâve always wanted? Who gave you the courage to sit here and ask me to move back in as if nothing had happened?â
Xu Chengfeng did not say anything. Instead, he silently picked up another piece of fruit.
âAlso, I have to remind you that Iâm already twenty-two years old. In another half a year, Iâll be twenty-three. Iâm not the silly girl who was eighteen or nineteen years old and did whatever she wanted by your side. Iâve already grown up. I have a life I want, and itâs a life that I donât want you to exist anymore!â@@novelbin@@
Xu Chengfeng still did not speak. He only looked at the piece of fruit on the toothpick. He was so quiet that no one could tell what he was thinking.
âI donât know why you came back, and I donât intend to ask too much. But now, my life has nothing to do with you anymore. So, Mr. Xu, no matter how much I took care of you during your illness, I didnât have any other thoughts, so you donât have to say anything. I wonât think too much, and please donât think too much.â
âIâll pretend that todayâs matter never happened.âZuo Yue took a deep breath.â Thatâs all. Iâll leave firstâ¦â
Her words were stopped by a piece of fruit that suddenly came close to her mouth.
Zuo Yue paused for a moment and looked at the man who was holding the fruit to her mouth without any change in expression.
Now, no matter what she said, he could do nothing?
How could this man be so calm and indifferent no matter what happened?
Zuo Yue let out a sigh of relief and said fiercely,ââI hope that after you recover, you can go to the hospital for a regular physical examination. After all, youâre old. You have to go for a checkup to ensure your health. Donât always make meâ¦Do you know how difficult it is for me to take time out of my busy schedule to take care of you?â
