Bai Ye tiptoed to the door, extended her index finger, and carefully knocked on the door. The knocking sound was as gentle as a breeze on a lake, as if afraid of disturbing the person sleeping soundly inside.
However, after waiting for a while, no response came.
So he slowly reached for the doorknob, gently pinched it, and then slowly turned it, his movements so light as if afraid of making even the slightest sound.
When the door opened a crack, Bai Ye peeked into the room and saw Xia Qingyue lying quietly asleep on the bed.
After a night of passion, she was clearly exhausted and was fast asleep, completely unaware that someone was watching her.
Bai Ye's gaze involuntarily fell on Xia Qingyue's exquisite sleeping face. Looking at her peaceful and serene appearance, he couldn't help but feel a surge of affection.
Recalling the madness of last night, Bai Ye subconsciously touched his kidneys, vaguely feeling a slight pain.
But the slight pain did not displease him; instead, it stirred up his fond memories of the previous night.
After standing quietly at the door for several minutes, Bai Ye, afraid of waking Xia Qingyue, tiptoed out of the room and gently closed the door. Then...
He turned and walked toward the kitchen, preparing to cook lunch for the two of them.
Entering the kitchen, Bai Ye opened the refrigerator and found that there were still many fresh ingredients stored inside.
His gaze swept over various vegetables and meats, finally settling on a piece of brightly colored, clearly marbling beef.
After a moment's thought, Bai Ye decided to use the beef to make two bowls of delicious beef noodles.
Although his cooking skills are not considered superb and are far from those of professional chefs, he still has a lot of experience and confidence in making beef noodles, at least he feels good about himself.
Bai Ye skillfully took out the beef, washed it, cut it into chunks, and put it into a pot to stew. As time passed, a rich and enticing aroma gradually wafted from the pot. After about an hour, the beef was stewed until it was very tender and flavorful.
Next, he estimated the amount of noodles based on the two people's appetites and added the appropriate amount of noodles to the pot.
Considering that Xia Qingyue had just experienced her first intimate encounter yesterday and her body might not have fully recovered, Bai Ye deliberately reduced the amount of noodles to prevent her from not being able to eat much due to a poor appetite.
While waiting for the noodles to cook, Bai Ye thought that Xia Qingyue should be awake by now.
So he put down the spoon in his hand, walked to the door again, and gently knocked on the door a few times.
However, the room remained silent, with no response.
Bai Ye hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't resist pushing open the door and quietly going inside...
Bai Ye tiptoed to the bedside, her heart filled with tenderness.
He slowly leaned down, close to Qingyue's ear, and whispered, "Qingyue, it's time to get up and have lunch! The sun's already high in the sky!"
Bai Ye's voice seemed to possess a magical quality, gently reaching Xia Qingyue's ears.
Her tightly closed eyes trembled slightly, as if touched by the gentle call.
Gradually, Xia Qingyue's eyelids began to slowly lift, revealing a tiny slit.
Bai Ye stared intently at Xia Qingyue, only to see her beautiful eyes finally fully open, her gaze still somewhat unfocused and confused.
The usually powerful and sophisticated Qingyue is now showing such a cute and charming side, which is in stark contrast to her usual image and gives people a strong sense of contrast.
Seeing this scene, Bai Ye's heart raced, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind—he really wanted to take a picture of Qing Yue with his phone at this moment!
Such a cute and confused look is so rare; it would be really interesting to capture this moment.
However, the thought only flashed through his mind for a moment, because he knew very well that if he really did that, given Qingyue's temper, she would definitely not let him off the hook.
I've suffered from similar things before, and I can't repeat the same mistake.
So, Bai Ye could only shake his head helplessly and put this tempting idea out of his mind.
At this moment, Xia Qingyue gradually regained consciousness, and the light in her eyes slowly returned.
She stretched lazily, then asked, "What's for lunch?"
Bai Ye replied with a smile, "It's delicious beef noodles! I prepared it especially for Sister Qingyue!"
Upon hearing the words "beef noodles," Xia Qingyue's previously sleepy expression instantly turned into one of conflict.
Actually, she didn't have much of an appetite, but considering that Bai Ye had made this bowl of noodles for her with such care, refusing it would seem like she was letting him down. After some internal struggle, Xia Qingyue decided to try a little.
"Okay, then... I'll just have a little bit!"
Bai Ye nodded quickly in agreement: "No problem, Sister Qingyue can eat as much as she wants!"
As he spoke, he reached out and helped Xia Qingyue up, so that she could sit up more comfortably.
After saying that, Bai Ye turned and walked towards the door: "Then Sister Qingyue, lie down and wake up properly. I'll go get you a bowl of noodles."
The words had barely left her lips when she was almost at the door.
At this moment, Xia Qingyue, who was lying on the bed, hurriedly called out to him:
"Wait, little brother! I'm still planning to eat at the restaurant later. Besides, I was all sweaty and sticky last night, so I'm going to take a shower and change into clean clothes. Oh, right..."
At this point, Xia Qingyue paused suddenly, then gave Bai Ye a coquettish glance, her eyes filled with charm and allure, and slowly said:
"And also, remember to take off the sheets and wash them!"
Feeling a little embarrassed by Xia Qingyue's gaze, Bai Ye scratched his head, a sheepish smile on his face, and hurriedly nodded in response:
"Okay, okay, I got it, Sister Qingyue." After saying that, he hurriedly walked out of the room and gently closed the door behind him.
Upon arriving in the kitchen, Bai Ye took a deep breath to calm herself down.
He first scooped out the perfectly cooked noodles from the pot, drained them, and put them into a large bowl.
Then, he scooped out several pieces of tempting, fragrant stewed beef from the casserole dish next to him and spread them evenly on top of the noodles.
Finally, drizzle a spoonful of rich and flavorful broth over the top and sprinkle with chopped green onions as a garnish.
In no time at all, a steaming bowl of beef noodles, with its perfect color, aroma, and taste, was freshly made.
