"Oh, right," Mo Jingchun suddenly remembered that no one had lived here for a long time, and there was probably nothing in the kitchen.
Mo Jingchun stood up from the sofa, walked a few steps to the kitchen door and went in.
As for Jiang Li, she had just finished fiddling with the induction cooker on the stove and was now opening the refrigerator next to it.
Before Mo Jingchun could say anything, an orange-red light shone on Jiang Li's face. The refrigerator was not empty as Mo Jingchun had imagined. On the contrary, there were some eggs, noodles and vegetables inside.
Mo Jingchun's eyes flashed with surprise and doubt at the kitchen door, and finally gradually turned into relief.
It seems that his father Mo Xu has already guessed that he will not be coming home tonight. Did he prepare these things for him in advance? Really...
Mo Jingchun turned his eyes and found that Jiang Li was looking at him while holding noodles.
"Are you very hungry?" Jiang Li put down the noodles and grabbed the flat pan. "Just wait, it will be ready soon."
Mo Jingchun didn't deny it. He nodded and said, "Well, no rush."
After Jiang Li cleaned the pot, he added appropriate amount of water into it and adjusted the power on the induction cooker. At the same time, he took out the chopped green onions from the refrigerator and started to chop them skillfully on the chopping board.
With the available ingredients, Jiang Li decided to speed up and make a bowl of ordinary egg drop noodles.
Mo Jingchun slowly left the kitchen, somewhat worried that if he continued to stay there, it would affect Jiang Li's performance.
Mo Jingchun sat at the dining table in the living room, Jiang Li's skillful movements from just a few seconds ago echoing in his mind.
It seems that Jiang Li must go to the kitchen often, otherwise she wouldn't be able to chop the green onions so quickly and well.
Mo Jingchun thought, looking up at his phone. The time on it was already 10 o'clock. Wouldn't Jiang Li's parents have any objections to her going out at this time of the year? Especially since it was the day before New Year's Eve.
Mo Jingchun put his cell phone on the table and became even more curious about Jiang Li's family. Before, they had all asked where Jiang Li lived.
But every time they brought up this issue intentionally or unintentionally, Jiang Li always stammered and changed the subject, as if he was unwilling to face the problem directly.
Mo Jingchun couldn't understand why Jiang Li always looked nervous every time he mentioned his family. Was it because his family conditions were poor and he felt inferior?
Mo Jingchun felt that was not the case. Jiang Li was not the kind of person who would feel inferior because of poverty.
Jiang Li is principled and strong, so there must be something about her that I don’t know about. So what is it?
The more Mo Jingchun thought about it, the more he felt that he didn't understand Jiang Li very well enough. This girl who suddenly broke into his world made him feel excited but also confused.
"The noodles are ready."
At this time, Jiang Li came out of the kitchen with a bowl of noodles and placed it on the black dining table, interrupting Mo Jingchun's thoughts.
Mo Jingchun subconsciously looked down and saw a bowl of steaming, yellow egg drop noodles placed in front of him.
The noodles are evenly spread in the bowl in a slender and soft shape, and are covered with yellow egg flowers. The egg flowers are uniform in size and shaped like snowflakes, and they should feel very soft when eaten.
Mo Jingchun glanced at Jiang Li, who noticed his gaze and pulled up a table next to him and sat down, looking a little nervous. "Don't you like egg drop noodles?"
Mo Jingchun didn't say anything, just shook his head. He picked up the chopsticks and stirred the noodles in the bowl.
Around the noodles and egg flowers, you can see some green chopped green onions dotted with yellow egg flowers, making the whole bowl of noodles look more colorful.
Jiang Li's bowl of egg drop noodles looked very beautiful, making people's mouths water at the sight. Mo Jingchun picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks, blew on it in the air for a while, and then put it into his mouth.
Just like its beautiful appearance, it tastes great the moment you put it in your mouth.
Mo Jingchun sniffed and felt a little sour. He lowered his head, picked up the egg drop noodles with force, and stuffed them into his mouth without caring whether the noodles were hot or not.
Jiang Li looked at Mo Jingchun who was eating noodles in front of him, and subconsciously touched the red scarf tied around his neck.
He was in a very low mood, and Jiang Li could feel it.
But Jiang Li didn't know what she should say. Although Jiang Li could feel that she and Mo Jingchun seemed to be similar in some aspects, she also knew very clearly that she was different from him after all.
Just like the high sky cannot understand the silent earth, just like the summer with chirping cicadas cannot understand the quiet winter, just like the stars and the bright moon are just like the two people at this moment.
Jiang Li pursed his pale lips tightly together, and his right hand subconsciously slid down to grab the peace locket on his chest.
The red scarf on Jiang Li looked particularly eye-catching, especially when paired with her previously pale cheeks from the cold, it looked quite shocking in color.
"Cough, cough, cough," Mo Jingchun ate too fast and accidentally choked on the food in his throat. Seeing this, Jiang Li quickly reached out and patted his back.
"Huh," Mo Jingchun's eyes turned red. He raised his head again and took a deep breath.
Mo Jingchun stared at Jiang Li in front of him, and suddenly grabbed the latter's hand that was withdrawn from his back.
Jiang Li opened her beautiful black eyes wide, not expecting Mo Jingchun to suddenly grab her hand.
Mo Jingchun grabbed Jiang Li's soft and cold little hand. His hands were big, and he would not let go once he grabbed it.
Mo Jingchun looked at the red scarf around Jiang Li's neck. It was the one his mother had knitted for him.
Perhaps the mother knew that her time was running out, so she knitted the scarf very long and wide, and kept it until Mo Jingchun grew up so that he could use it. This is also the indirect reason why the scarf looks very old.
Mo Jingchun looked at Jiang Li, and Jiang Li was also looking at him.
Both sides looked eagerly, wanting to find some clues in the other's eyes in order to see into the other's heart.
Jiang Li's eyes were very black, and looked like a pool of water of unknown depth. There were many things hidden in it, which Mo Jingchun still couldn't figure out.
But one thing has to be admitted, her deep black eyes seem to be attractive. Just one glance can make people fall deeply into them and can no longer look away.
The look was filled with tenderness and sadness, and Mo Jingchun couldn't help but want to get closer.
Jiang Li stretched out his other hand in time to support the latter's chest, preventing him from getting any closer.
Between the two of them was a bowl of steaming egg drop noodles.
Jiang Li looked a little flustered. She tried several times, but the difference in strength prevented her from taking her hand back.
"Haha," Mo Jingchun curved his eyebrows, chuckled, and let go of Jiang Li's hand.
"you……"
Before Jiang Li could finish her words, two transparent drops of water fell from the corners of Mo Jingchun's eyes, who suddenly laughed, and hit her hand before she could retract it.
