Chapter 28
Lan Shu snorted.
Jiang Bai smiled, "Would you like to eat something?"
"I've checked. There's nothing in your refrigerator," Lan Shuqing said, feeling somewhat puzzled. How did Jiang Bai live alone? There was nothing at home, not even food. Didn't she eat at night?
Jiang Bai stood up and gently pulled Lan Shu up. "If there's nothing at home, there's always food outside. What do you want to eat?"
Lan Shuqing stood up with Jiang Bai's help, then went to look for her slippers, only to find them neatly placed aside. She couldn't help but smile, put them on, and looked up at Jiang Bai, "I want to eat egg noodles!"
The two walked out hand in hand. Lan Shuqing had no intention of letting go, but Jiang Bai wanted to hold her hand for a while longer before letting go.
"Aunt Yao's egg noodles are delicious. Next time you come to my house, I'll ask Aunt Yao to make them for you. Egg noodles are not complicated. Jiang Bai, why don't you make some for me?"
Jiang Bai let go of Lan Shuqing's hand, turned back, blinked his eyes, and said innocently, "But I don't have any eggs at home."
Lan Shuqing's eyes widened, and he asked, "No eggs?"
Aren’t eggs a must-have in every household?
Jiang Bai smoothed his hair and shook his head, "No."
Lan Shuqing was speechless. She looked at Jiang Bai and realized that Jiang Bai didn't have his hair tied up today, but he was still wearing casual clothes. Lan Shuqing asked directly, "What do you have to eat at home?"
She had looked in the refrigerator and found that there was really nothing in it except yogurt.
To this question, Jiang Bai could only answer, "Yes, there are instant noodles."
Lan Shu frowned slightly, "You won't eat instant noodles every night when you come back, right?"
Jiang Bai smiled and said, "Not really. I just eat it sometimes when I don't feel like cooking."
Lan Shuqing couldn't believe it no matter how she looked at it. An idea came to her mind, so she asked, "Where are the instant noodles?"
Jiang Bai turned and walked towards the door. There was a shoe cabinet on the left side of the door, and then there was another row of cabinets to the top on the other side of the corner. There was an empty space in the middle for some miscellaneous items. Jiang Bai opened the cabinet below. There were three compartments above and below, and each compartment contained a storage basket for woven cloth.
Jiang Bai pulled out the middle compartment, and the contents of the storage basket were revealed.
Seven or eight bags of instant noodles, instant noodles with ham, spicy strips, jelly, melon seeds...
They were all snacks, and there were at least three flavors of instant noodles.
Lan Shuqing's eyes widened. "You call this eating occasionally?" They're practically treating instant noodles as their main meal! Lan Shuqing glanced at Jiang Bai and flipped through the basket. Besides instant noodles, there were also a few packets of turkey noodles. Lan Shuqing couldn't help but look up at Jiang Bai again. How much does this guy like spicy food?
Jiang Bai pushed the storage basket back guiltily and closed the cabinet. She coughed lightly and said calmly, "How about going out to eat? There's a noodle shop downstairs that's pretty good."
She shouldn't have talked about instant noodles with Lan Shuqing. Look, Lan Shuqing was staring at her as if he was staring at something. Jiang Bai felt that Lan Shuqing was a little angry, but she didn't know why Lan Shuqing was angry.
Or maybe Jiang Bai guessed it, but didn't dare to believe it.
This was the first time Lan Shuqing looked at Jiang Bai so seriously. Jiang Bai felt a little flustered, but didn't know what to do.
Noticing that Jiang Bai had weakened, Lan Shu pursed her lips lightly, a hint of darkness flashing across her eyes. She tossed her hair, put her hands on her hips, and said with a bit of gritted teeth, "Then cook me some turkey noodles. I want to eat turkey noodles!"
Jiang Bai nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, I'll go cook it." Then he took a bag of food and some sausage from the cupboard and went to the kitchen.
There was some dried vegetables stored at home, so Jiang Bai took them out from the cupboard and cooked them with the noodles.
Lan Shuqing stood in the living room, thinking a lot while Jiang Bai went to cook noodles. She walked to the kitchen door again. Jiang Bai heard the sound and turned back to look at her, "It will be ready soon."
Taking into consideration that Lan Shuqing doesn't like spicy food, Jiang Bai only added a small amount of turkey noodle seasoning, and then added some vinegar, soy sauce, and a little sugar for seasoning.
There was a small dining table in the living room. When a bowl of noodles was brought out, Lan Shuqing smelled the fragrance, but he didn't know what it tasted like exactly.
Jiang Bai placed the noodles on the dining table, pulled out a stool, and handed the chopsticks to Lan Shuqing on the side, focusing on attentive service.
Lan Shu glanced at her lightly, took the chopsticks, sat down, and then mixed the soup before picking up the first bite.
Jiang Bai stood nervously aside, observing Lan Shuqing's reaction, not missing a single detail.
It tasted better than she had imagined. Lan Shuqing was a little surprised. It was sour and spicy, with a hint of sweetness, and the noodles were chewy. She looked up at Jiang Bai, only to see him looking at her nervously.
Lan Shuqing laughed suddenly, "Jiang Bai, why are you so nervous?"
Jiang Bai looked at Lan Shuqing, pulled over another stool and sat down, "I'm not afraid it won't suit your taste..."
Lan Shu hummed softly, "Not bad."
If it's noodles of this level, she can accept it.
Hearing this, Jiang Bai immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could completely relax, Lan Shuqing's words made her heart rise again.
"But you should stop eating so much instant noodles and stop buying new ones."
Jiang Bai glanced at Lan Shuqing, opened his mouth to say something but swallowed it back, and finally replied, "Okay..."
There wasn't much in a packet of noodles, and Lan Shuqing finished it in ten minutes. Her speed was considered slow. Jiang Bai usually finished it in less than five minutes.
Lan Shuqing's way of eating is different. You can tell at a glance that he is well-educated, much better than Jiang Bai.
After finishing the noodles, Jiang Bai took the initiative to clean up and wash the dishes.
When she came back, Lan Shuqing was sitting on the sofa. When he saw her, he waved at her.
Jiang Bai walked over with some doubts.
Lan Shuqing reached out to her, "Cellphone."
Jiang Bai was stunned for a moment, "What phone?"
Lan Shu raised his chin slightly, "Your phone."
Jiang Bai was puzzled, "Why do you want my phone?"
Lan Shu glared at her lightly, "Jiang Bai, why do you have so much!"
Jiang Bai glanced at Lan Shuqing, then turned to get her shoulder bag from the shoe cabinet. After returning, she hadn't even looked at her phone. Before handing it to Lan Shuqing, she asked again, "What are you doing?"
Lan Shu blinked slightly and said, "Take fingerprints."
"Huh?" Jiang Bai immediately put his phone away and asked cautiously, "What fingerprint?!"
Lan Shu poked her shoulder lightly. "It's not the phone's fingerprint, it's the lock's fingerprint." She spread out her hands and said, "I'm stupid and can't remember the password. I even forgot the number you mentioned before."
Stupid?
Jiang Bai thought, if Lan Shuqing was stupid, then no one else would be smart.
"Hurry up~" Lan Shu urged her.
Jiang Bai hesitated, but Lan Shuqing still looked at her persistently. Every time Lan Shuqing acted like this, Jiang Bai would always lose.
"Do you want me to be outside in the cold wind every time I come to see you?!"
Lan Shuqing started with his hands on his hips.
Jiang Bai said weakly: "There is a password..."
Lan Shuqing started to act like a rogue, "I'm stupid and can't remember the password."
nonsense.
Jiang Bai glanced at her, unlocked his phone, clicked on the door lock software and handed it to Lan Shuqing.
Lan Shuqing took it with satisfaction, found the entrance to record fingerprints, and walked towards the door.
Jiang Bai watched Lan Shuqing working on the password and suddenly asked, "Lan Shuqing, how do you know this lock uses software to record fingerprints?"
Lan Shuqing didn't even look up. "How could I not know this when I'm so smart!"
Actually, I just searched quietly. There was a merchant logo on the door. I searched the merchant on Blue Book and then looked at the product description. If there is an APP, I can do all this on the APP.
Jiang Bai leaned against the shoe cabinet and watched her do it.
Lan Shuqing finished tinkering quickly, but instead of returning the phone to Jiang Bai, he asked, "Where are the passwords for the downstairs access control?"
Jiang Bai was stunned. Lan Shuqing started to urge her again, "Hurry up! I've only come in as a registered visitor today. You can't always register as a visitor, right? I remember you used facial recognition before. How do you do facial recognition?"
Facial recognition is processed on the property's mini program. You can add members as the main household, and they will be added in a short while. Then you have to wait for the property's review.
The property management was closed late at night, so Jiang Bai could only leave a message for the housekeeper.
After finishing these two things, Lan Shuqing felt relaxed and refreshed. She stood in front of Jiang Bai and poked him on the shoulder. "Jiang Bai, don't eat too much instant noodles or anything like that, and don't eat too much snacks either. I'll be watching!"
Hearing this, Jiang Bai felt that something was wrong.
I've eaten the noodles, and done the fingerprint and facial recognition. Now it's time to take a shower, pack up, and go to bed.
Lan Shuqing opened her schoolbag and took out a set of silk pajamas, a cosmetic bag, and some spare clothes from the bulging bag.
The makeup bag is placed in the mirror cabinet in the bathroom. Jiang Bai doesn't wear makeup, so there are only some toiletries in it, which takes up a small space. The clothes for changing are sorted and hung in the master bedroom. Pajamas need to be worn, so they are placed in the bathroom first.
The house of more than 70 square meters suddenly felt more lively. At least it was more lively than when Jiang Bai was alone. Jiang Bai and Lan Shuqing took a shower one after another and went to the master bedroom to prepare for bed.
Jiang Bai still slept on the inside, and Lan Shuqing slept on the outside.
There is a small balcony on the right side of the master bedroom, which also has floor-to-ceiling windows, so you can see the scenery outside. Jiang Bai went over and closed the curtains before going to bed. The green color is very friendly to the eyes.
Lan Shu leaned lightly on the bed, and had picked up a book to read at some point. Jiang Bai took a look and found that it was her book.
And this one, Jiang Bai also leaned back, "Why did you think of reading this book?"
Lan Shu glanced at the title of the book lightly, "What's wrong with this book?"
Jiang Bai shook his head, "Nothing."
"Search" is a film and television novel. Jiang Bai doesn't remember which came first, the novel or the movie. She has not seen the movie, only the novel.
If you are interested, take a look at Lan Shuqing.
Jiang Bai started browsing Weibo, browsed the common ones which were not interesting, and then started browsing small broken websites, browsing the ones she liked.
Lan Shu glanced through about five chapters and found it quite interesting. She put a bookmark in it and closed the book. The bookmark was also Jiang Bai's. She bought poetry bookmarks, including those from the Book of Songs, Tang poetry, and Song poetry. She picked up one at random and put it in the book.
When I turned my head, I saw that Jiang Bai had already started yawning.
Lan Shuqing was a little amused, "Jiang Bai, are you sleepy?"
Jiang Bai tilted his head and said, "Ah," "Yeah, I'm sleepy."
Lan Shuqing put the book on the bedside table beside him and pulled the quilt down. "Then let's go to bed."
Jiang Bai nodded. She put down her phone, charged it, got out of bed, turned off the lights, and then groped her way back to bed.
But when she lay down and her vision recovered, she found that Lan Shuqing was very close to her. The girl was talking and laughing, and she could still see the corners of her mouth raised in the darkness.
Jiang Bai slowly lay down, "Why are you looking at me?"
Lan Shuqing continued to laugh, "Look at you, you're so cute."
Jiang Bai's face flushed. She glanced at Lan Shuqing and said, "Go to sleep." Then she closed her eyes.
Lan Shuqing lay on her side, looking at Jiang Bai's pretty face. Her fingers moved slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, she reached out and pulled the hair on Jiang Bai's neck back.
Jiang Bai seemed to realize something, opened his eyes and turned his head to meet Lan Shuqing's gaze.
Lan Shuqing didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly. Jiang Bai couldn't help but blink, her throat a little dry. She reached out to cover Lan Shuqing's eyes and whispered, "Don't look at me, go to sleep."
Such a look made her feel uneasy, but also gave her an illusion. Then she let down her guard again and again, allowing Lan Shuqing to enter her territory.
Lan Shu lowered her head slightly and rested her forehead on Jiang Bai's palm. Jiang Bai's hand trembled uncontrollably, just like her heart, shaking violently. She quickly withdrew her hand as if it had been scalded.
Jiang Bai turned over, his back facing Lan Shuqing, closed his eyes, his heart beating like a drum.
Lan Shuqing stared at Jiang Bai's back, a hint of triumphant smile flashing across his eyes.
