Chapter 2177: Looking at her makes me hungry
After washing up, Ruomu went to cook. After walking into the kitchen and looking around, she came to a conclusion: Young Master Xiao was not worldly.
He doesn't even have an egg or a bag of instant noodles!
Even a good cook cannot cook without rice. Even if the housekeeper Ruomu wanted to make him a delicious meal, he couldn't conjure food out of thin air.
Remembering that when I came back last night, there was a porridge shop downstairs, so it probably had breakfast there. Ruomu quickly got dressed and prepared to go out.
Just as I was changing my shoes, Xiao Jun's door opened.
"Stop." He said stiffly.
Ruomu turned around and saw Xiao Jun standing at the bedroom door, his upper body naked and only wearing a pair of long pajamas.
Ruomu vaguely recalled last night, when she was making pottery in Young Master Xiao's arms. It seemed that he was not wearing a shirt last night...
Thinking about it, she couldn't help but blush, but the young master Xiao in front of her didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He came to Ruomu, grabbed her wrist, and asked, "Where are you going?"
His expression was tense and serious, as if... he thought she was going to run away?
Ruomu had indeed thought about leaving before, but he had already said last night that he did not want to restrict her freedom, but just wanted to help her in a way that she could accept, so Ruomu had calmed down and planned to work hard for Young Master Xiao.
So he quickly said to Xiao Jun, "I'm going to buy breakfast, not to run away."
"Home..."
"Well, nothing to eat."
He looked towards the kitchen, his thin lips slightly pursed: "Wait for me, let's go out to eat together."
Ruomu waited for him at the door for a while. Xiao Jun changed into casual clothes and they left the house together.
Ruomu took the garbage down with him.
The neighborhood had a designated recycling area, but Ruomu had only been there two days and didn't know where it was. As for Xiao Jun, it was even less likely he'd know where it was. These things were handled by the cleaning lady who came in every week.
Just then, there was an old man who was also throwing away trash, so the two of them followed him and finally found the spot.
It was the first time for both of them to learn that different types of garbage have different recycling times. Ruomu used his mobile phone to take pictures of the rules for throwing away garbage.
When Xiao Jun saw that she was using the mobile phone he gave her, the corners of his mouth curled up.
After throwing away the garbage, the two walked out of the community together.
Xiao Jun looked at the rising sun in the east. It seemed like any other day, yet it felt completely different.
In the past, he didn't need to worry about any housework. He only needed to hire servants, set rules, and pay salaries. His daily life was like a series of programs. Once set, they would be completed automatically. He rarely participated in them, and he never let anyone really participate in his life.
It feels different now. The little girl next to him is said to be his housekeeper, but she is like an unstable program. During the running process, she will report errors from time to time and even tamper with the program herself.
For example, last night, his housekeeper actually got up in the middle of the night and secretly played with his potter's wheel... That was very interesting.
In addition to being interesting, it also gave Xiao Jun a sense of living a real life, and he did not hate this feeling.
I turned my head to look at the girl beside me, only to see that she had her hands in her pockets, her neck hunched, and looked sleepy and cold.
He took the hood of her coat and put it on her.
She said "hmm" and tightened the string on her hat a little, revealing only her little face. She looked like a big rabbit with its ears folded, which was a bit cute.
After walking a few steps, the two entered the breakfast shop.
There are many kinds of breakfast, all home-cooked meals. The two of them ordered a tray of small buns, two bowls of porridge, a braised soft-boiled egg each, and two plates of small vegetables.
After ordering the meal at the front desk, the two went to find a seat. Before sitting down, Ruomu helped him wipe the table and chair, but when she sat down herself, she was not so particular.
Xiao Jun understood. She knew he had a serious obsession with cleanliness and was afraid that he would find it dirty.
This thoughtfulness made him feel warm inside.
He was indeed a little uncomfortable with eating at such a stall, and he couldn't help but focus his attention on some dirty spots.
Dust on the lampshades, oil stains on the floor, and the waiters' nails and hair.
But when he entered, he also paid attention to the store's hygiene standards, which were A-level, so it was considered a very clean store.
He's the only one who's abnormal.
The food was quickly served. Ruomu saw that he hadn't touched his chopsticks, so he asked anxiously, "Do you think this is not clean?"
"Not bad." Xiao Jun overcame his psychological barriers and picked up the chopsticks.
Ruomu smiled and said, when you eat, just concentrate on savoring the taste, don’t let your imagination run wild, because your imagination is just your imagination, and it may not be the case at all.
Her advice was not particularly helpful to Xiao Jun.
He understands all these principles. If they worked, his mysophobia would have been cured long ago.
But the way she ate aroused Xiao Jun's appetite.
This little girl was not pretentious when eating. She ate with big mouthfuls. The food looked so delicious that Xiao Jun couldn't help but start eating.
The steaming hot buns, the refreshing cold vegetables, and the soft, sweet porridge, these simplest foods unexpectedly activated Xiao Jun's taste buds that had not yet awakened, making him unconsciously ignore the restaurant environment that made him feel uncomfortable.
Ruomu ate half of a soft-boiled egg and praised it highly, saying that the egg was braised just right and tasted better than the ones made in our hotel.
Hearing her say "our hotel", Xiao Jun smiled. She changed very quickly and no longer considered herself an outsider.
Seeing that she liked eating braised eggs so much, Xiao Jun picked up the two halves of the soft-boiled eggs on his plate and gave them to her.
Ruomu quickly said that he didn't need it and returned it to him immediately.
Xiao Jun remembered that he had seen her eating at a roadside stall with that boy before. The boy picked up some food for her and she ate it all.
How come she doesn't want an egg when I give her one?
"Do you think my chopsticks are unhygienic?"
He himself is a mysophobia, and when he saw Ruomu not eating the food he gave him, he only thought of this possibility.
"No."
"Then why do you accept food when others give it to you, but you don't want the food I give you?"
"Who brought me food?"
Xiao Jun's face darkened. "Your brother, the one who went to college."
"Brother Tianhao?" Ruomu hesitated for a moment and asked, "How do you know that Brother Tianhao has served me food?"
Xiao Jun glanced at her calmly and said, "I happened to pass by Haicheng University when I was out that day and saw you two having dinner together."
"I'm not disgusted, I'm just worried that you won't have enough to eat."
"It's not a big deal." Xiao Jun said and gave her his egg again.
She was about to refuse, but Xiao Jun gave her a deep look, and she quickly held out the plate: "I'll eat it, you give it to me, don't throw it away, otherwise it's such a waste!"
It seemed she had understood his temper and knew that he would throw away things he couldn't give away. This had left a psychological scar on her.
Xiao Jun wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.
It's better to have some psychological trauma, so that she won't push things away every time I give her something in the future.
