Chapter 39 I’m afraid she’s hungry, and I’m also afraid she’ll forget to take her medicine
Outside the living room.
Shen Xichuan leaned on the sofa somewhat lazily, his elbows resting on the armrest beside him, holding a book and flipping through it carelessly.
The speed is neither fast nor slow.
I don't know if I really finished reading it or just flipped through it casually.
There is no main light in the living room, only light strips.
However, only the light strip on the balcony and the floor lamp near the sofa were turned on in the living room.
The light from above fell on the man. He must have taken a shower. He was wearing comfortable home clothes, a white T-shirt and black trousers, which looked incredibly soft under the warm light.
Xu Jialan suddenly stopped.
Her eyes fell on him not far away.
I don’t know why, but this scene has a special feeling.
The light that she once dared not touch suddenly appeared beside her and became her husband. She sat on the sofa in her carefully decorated home, reading a book lazily.
I'm afraid it's just a dream, I don't even dare to think so?
The room was very quiet, and Shen Xichuan had already noticed it when Xu Jialan walked out of the study.
He turned the page, curled his lips lightly, and said lazily, "Why don't you say anything after you come out?"
Xu Jialan was stunned for a moment, and the next second his eyes met his.
Under the light, his well-defined face was clearly visible, and his handsome eyes were deep and bottomless.
Xu Jialan couldn't help swallowing and asked softly, "It's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Shen Xichuan looked at her for a few seconds, closed the book, and stood up.
He sighed, "So you also know it's too late."
Xu Jialan sighed, touched his nose, and explained, "This case is very important. The police need results from me as soon as possible to track down the murderer, so I forgot about the time for a moment."
Shen Xichuan hummed, raised his foot and walked over, "A big case?"
Xu Jialan nodded, "It's a bit big."
There is no need to say anything else, and she didn't say anything else.
Shen Xichuan didn't ask any more questions, but just walked up to her and asked with a half-smile, "Professor Xu, this bad habit of forgetting time when you get busy shouldn't just happen today, right?"
Xu Jialan coughed lightly, and under his burning gaze, he tried to calm down, "Really? There shouldn't be any?"
The man narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at her.
The two just stared at each other in shock.
Xu Jialan looked at this face and his breath was slightly held.
Reason told her that she should turn her head away and avoid his sight at this time.
But her emotions told her that she couldn't bear to look away from this face.
Shen Xichuan’s eyes met her clear eyes, and his eyes gradually darkened.
After a few seconds, he said, "Then remember it first."
"What?"
Xu Jialan didn't react for a moment.
The man raised his hand and rubbed her head, his gesture was indescribably intimate.
He patiently explained, "I'll write it down in your notebook this time."
When Xu Jialan approached him, he subconsciously held his breath, "What about next time?"
"next time?"
Shen Xichuan thought about it and chuckled, “Next time, I will punish you.”
"What's the punishment?"
"Let's not talk about the punishment yet." The man stopped talking and withdrew his hand. "You've been busy all night. Are you hungry?"
Xu Jialan also came to his senses when he withdrew his hand.
She thought about it, feeling a little uncomfortable, "It seems, a little bit."
I just drank porridge in the evening, and after such a long time, it has actually been almost digested.
Shen Xichuan curled the corners of his mouth, "I guessed it, I cooked rice noodles for you, go wash your hands and come out to eat."
"Rice noodles?"
Xu Jialan blinked, "How do you know I'm done with my work by now?"
His voice was indescribably magnetic, "I guessed it."
Xu Jialan: “?”
Shen Xichuan couldn’t help it, raised his hand and gently pinched her face, “Go quickly, Professor Xu.”
After saying that, he smiled lightly, walked past her and headed towards the kitchen.
The remaining temperature on his face slowly spread around.
Xu Jialan just felt that his face was burning hot.
She covered her face, pursed her lips, turned around, and saw the tall figure of the man standing in the kitchen with his back to her.
Xu Jialan stood there and watched for a few seconds, not daring to look any longer, and quickly walked to the bathroom.
Shen Xichuan heard the footsteps, turned his head and glanced, just in time to see her beautiful profile.
He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, retracted his gaze, and poured out the cooked rice noodles from the pot.
When Xu Jialan came out after washing his hands, the rice noodles were already placed on the placemat.
She looked at the delicious rice noodles in front of her, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
I was very surprised that he could make such delicious rice noodles.
The man sat down opposite her with a bowl of the same rice noodles in front of him.
But the dish in front of Xu Jialan was obviously beautifully presented.
There is also a soft-boiled egg on top.
The green vegetables are also neatly arranged.
But the bowl in front of Shen Xichuan also had soft-boiled eggs and green vegetables, but it was not so exquisite.
Xu Jialan was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him, "You..."
Shen Xichuan pointed with his chin, “Eat quickly, I didn’t cook much for you. If you eat too much too late, your stomach will be uncomfortable. Remember to take medicine after you finish eating the rice noodles.”
After he said that, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Xu Jialan stared at him for a long time.
Then he lowered his eyes to look at the delicious soft-boiled eggs and vegetables in the bowl.
So, you have been waiting in the living room until now because you were afraid that she was hungry and that she forgot to take her medicine?
She pursed her lips and picked up the chopsticks to pick up a mouthful of rice noodles.
Not surprisingly, it was delicious.
When the man opposite saw her eating, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
…
The next few days.
Xu Jialan was so busy that he couldn't stop.
But no matter how busy she is, she never leaves her phone.
In the past few days, Shen Xichuan would also remind her to eat and take medicine on time.
After taking the medicine for two days, Xu Jialan's face finally became less pale.
With such high-intensity work, if she doesn't take her medicine on time, she might really have recurring fevers.
Xu Jialan looked at the message on her phone reminding her to drink water, curled her lips, and walked out of the office with her phone.
I went to the tea room and poured myself a glass of water. I leaned against the wall, lowered my head slightly and drank the water, with the corners of my mouth slightly raised.
A laboratory technician came in and saw Xu Jialan's smile. He felt like he was hit by a needle and couldn't move.
When Xu Jialan heard footsteps, he looked up, his brows were cold, and he frowned.
It was as if the smile just now was just an illusion of the laboratory technician.
The lab technician's expression was stiff. "Professor Xu."
Xu Jialan nodded, picked up the cup and left the tea room.
Looking at her back, the laboratory technician quickly poured the water and returned to his seat.
She whispered to the others, "Have you noticed that Professor Xu has been smiling a lot more recently?"
Another lab technician nodded in agreement. "More than that. Especially when there's a message on her phone, that lingering love is all over her eyes."
"Is it that exaggerated?"
The lab technician snorted, "If you don't believe me, just see for yourself."
"Still, this recent case is quite scary."
"How can it not be scary? Killing for love, that story makes me afraid to have a boyfriend, for fear of ending up with a pervert."
"Stop talking, it's giving me the creeps."
Several laboratory technicians couldn't help but shudder, and hurried back to their seats, not daring to say anything more.
