âYou cook well and Iâm hungry. Can I eat here?â Mo Liuxi was entering the apartment before she even answered.
Yan Su was a little stunned and nodded her head after a long while. She couldnât finish the food anyway so he could have some. They would be classmates in the future; they might as well build an amicable friendship now.
âLet me get you a bowl of rice.â Yan Su emerged from the kitchen with a bowl of rice.
The white rice was placed in front of Mo Liuxi and he looked down at it and up again. His harsh gaze expressed his disapproval. âIâll let it go today, but you shouldnât let strangers into your place in the future. Especially when youâre alone at home. There are too many bad guys out there.â
He felt compelled to remind her since she was Luosangâs roommate. It was for Luosangâs sake.
â...â
So, she shouldnât have let him in?
Yan Su thought that she was an easy-going person, but she found it hard to like the man sitting in front of her. He was a good-looking fella though, she had to admit.
âAs a stranger, why did you invite yourself into the home of a girl that you barely know?â Yan Su calmly asked him.
âDo you realize how thick-skinned you are?â Yan Su thought.
âBecause I know I am a good person.â Mo Liuxi picked up his chopsticks; the dishes looked tasty.
â...â
Yan Su shook her head in exasperation. She lowered her head to concentrate on the food. She had lost her appetite by then so she put down her utensils after a few bites.
She was originally worried that she couldnât finish all the food but the man opposite her had a voracious appetite. He even finished the entire bowl of steamed pork ribs.
Yan Su was astonished to watch him eat like that. She noticed his long lashes fluttering under the light. He resembled Luosang quite a bit.
Even the way he ate, and his appetite.
After a bowl of rice, Mo Liuxi looked up and said, âDo you have more rice?â
âNo more.â
âCan I finish the rest of the food?â he asked again, his voice as clear as day.
âKnock yourself out.â
After finishing all the food, Mo Liuxi looked up again. âIâm not full yet. I think I have to grab some fried rice later.â
Yan Su held back her laughter. âYou resemble my friend when you eat. Sheâs my roommate.â
âOh really?â Mo Liuxiâs cold expression softened and he raised his eyebrows. He looked intrigued. âHow so?â
âShe eats as well as you do.â
â...â
Mo Liuxi thought about it. He did eat his food well. He must have taken after Mo Jin just as Luosang did.
âWhy isnât your roommate back?â
âSheâs staying with her boyfriend.â Yan Su stood up to clear the table.
She then felt an eerie aura.
Mo Liuxi grunted and said, âYoung girls nowadays really donât know how to love themselves.â
Yan Su was miffed but also amused. âYou look like youâre younger than us. I donât think weâre young girls anymore. You should address us as your sister.â
âUninterested,â he said coldly.
âAll right. Go along then. You were here to borrow a pair of scissors and you scored a free meal too.â Yan Su handed him a pair of scissors.
âIâll return it later.â Mo Liuxi left with the scissors.
Yan Su wiped the table and washed the dishes. When she came out, Mo Liuxi was there to return the scissors. âThank you,â he said.
