Chapter 98: Coaxing and Pampering (Part 4)
After Jiang Zhiluo changed in the house, she drank the brown sugar water that Cui Hejin had made for her and felt much better.
After a while, she felt a little warmer and had some strength, and she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Zhiluo went out of the house to wash up.
Cui Hejin looked at her and said softly, "You are not feeling well. Rest more."
At this time, Cui Hejin had already changed his wet clothes and his hair was half dry.
Jiang Zhiluo felt that she was not that pretentious, so she whispered, "It's okay, it will be much better now."
With just a little strength, she can move.
"I'll wash up and have some breakfast, then I'll feel better."
Eat something to replenish your energy and you may feel better.
Cui Hejin understood what Jiang Zhiluo meant.
He helped to scoop water from the basin and also scooped a ladle of hot water from the pot and mixed it.
He saw that the water temperature was just right before letting Jiang Zhiluo wash with it.
While Jiang Zhiluo was washing up, Cui Hejin took out the hot breakfast from the pot, brought it to the dining table, and set out the dishes.
After Jiang Zhiluo finished washing up, she looked at the steaming breakfast on the table and felt a little warm in her heart.
She is actually not a very pretentious person, but when people are uncomfortable, they will always be more fragile than usual.
At this time, someone was taking good care of her, and she felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
Seeing Jiang Zhiluo sit down, Cui Hejin scooped her a bowl of mushroom and egg drop soup, and wrapped a scallion pancake in clean gauze and handed it to her so that she could eat it.
"It's a little hot, eat slowly."
Jiang Zhiluo blinked and nodded obediently, "Okay."
Cui Hejin's brows softened when he saw how well-behaved she was.
He also sat down to eat with them.
Jiang Zhiluo watched his movements, then looked at the dishes in front of him, and couldn't help asking, "Didn't you have breakfast either?"
"Um."
Although Cui Hejin didn't say anything, Jiang Zhiluo guessed that he was probably waiting for her to have dinner together.
It's already mid-morning, which is probably around nine o'clock according to modern time.
On weekdays, Cui Hejin usually gets up at five or six o'clock and has breakfast at around six o'clock.
Seeing that Jiang Zhiluo didn't eat, she just looked at him with her clear eyes.
Her eyes are very lively, and when she looks at someone intently, it seems as if they can speak.
Just by meeting Jiang Zhiluo's eyes, Cui Hejin understood what she was thinking. He stopped what he was doing and explained softly, "Don't worry, I'm not hungry."
Jiang Zhiluo pursed her lips and whispered, "I'm not feeling well today. If I get up late next time, you can just eat first."
"Yeah, okay."
Cui Hejin didn't argue with Jiang Zhiluo about this issue. "Let's eat first. It will get cold soon."
Jiang Zhiluo nodded and started eating.
After eating, perhaps because she had replenished her energy, Jiang Zhiluo felt less pain in her body.
The rain outside had stopped. Jiang Zhiluo thought for a moment and said, "Now that the rain has stopped, I'm thinking of going to town."
Cui Hejin took such good care of her, so she should tell him where she was going or what she was going to do.
Cui Hejin usually looked easy to talk to, but at this moment he was very stubborn. He said, "You should rest well at home these few days. I will help you with anything you need. I will arrange anything you need to do in town."
At least Jiang Zhiluo won’t be tired during these days.
Jiang Zhiluo actually wanted to buy meat to make chili meat sauce.
I also want to go and see how the braised food business at Lin Zhuzhu’s meat stall is doing.
As soon as she felt better, she couldn't sit still.
However, she still couldn't bring herself to let Cui Hejin do all this for her.
"Nothing, I just thought I'd go to town and take a look after the rain stopped."
Since she couldn't go to town, Jiang Zhiluo thought about helping to make lunch.
But no matter what she did, Cui Hejin would not let her do it, and just let her go back to the room and lie on the bed to rest.
Jiang Zhiluo blinked and looked at Cui Hejin, saying softly and innocently, "I'm really not that delicate. I have strength."
Jiang Zhiluo didn't realize that at this moment she was acting like a spoiled child to Cui Hejin, her voice was so soft and sweet that most people couldn't resist it.
Cui Hejin couldn't resist the look in her eyes. His heart softened like a pool of clear water and he couldn't help but want to indulge her.
But thinking of how painful and uncomfortable she looked that morning, and what Aunt Niu next door said, he could only sigh coldly and said, "Be good, be obedient. All you have to do now is get some rest."
"Otherwise my stomach will hurt easily."
"And you can't touch cold water either."
Cui Hejin poured some water for Jiang Zhiluo to drink, which was also hot water.
When it was almost lunchtime, Cui Hejin asked her softly, "What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll make it."
Jiang Zhiluo had never seen Cui Hejin cook.
On weekdays, he would at most help light the fire, or lend a hand when she and Old Madam Cui were doing something.
"Won't mother be back at noon?"
Cui Hejin said: "Before my mother left, she said she would probably be back in the afternoon."
Jiang Zhiluo thought for a moment and said, "How about making noodles? Do you know how to cook noodles?"
There were ready-made noodles at home, which were rolled out by Mrs. Cui a few days ago. She rolled out a few extra noodles, dried them in the sun, and put them away.
This way, when you want to eat noodles, you don’t have to roll and cut them immediately. You can just take out the dried noodles and cook them.
Jiang Zhiluo thought that Cui Hejin might not be good at cooking, but cooking noodles was easy.
Cui Hejin looked at Jiang Zhiluo with a half-smile. Seeing her still pale face, he reached out and gently touched her hair and said, "Don't worry, you still know how to cook noodles."
Even when cooking noodles, Cui Hejin's every move and gesture was filled with the elegant temperament cultivated by a child from a noble family.
After Cui Hejin really cooked the noodles, Jiang Zhiluo couldn't help but be surprised.
Because the two bowls of noodles that Cui Hejin brought to the table were topped with poached eggs and some vegetables, which looked very appetizing.
Jiang Zhiluo's eyes, as clear as glass, were filled with surprise, and it was like layers of sunlight spreading out all at once, shining into Cui Hejin's heart.
Cui Hejin's picturesque eyes held a smile as pure as water, and she said gracefully, "Try it!"
As he spoke, Cui Hejin handed the chopsticks in his hand to Jiang Zhiluo.
But still reminded: "It's a little hot."
Jiang Zhiluo said, "It's okay. I'm not afraid of the heat when eating noodles."
When I was on a mission before, I couldn’t care less about these things.
Seeing that she was really anxious to eat, Cui Hejin whispered, "Wait a moment."
Cui Hejin went to get a bowl and picked up a handful of noodles from the big bowl with chopsticks. "This way it will cool down quickly and you won't get burned."
Jiang Zhiluo sighed in her heart, if this person really wanted to take care of someone, he would be really attentive and gentle.
After a long time, her heart could no longer resist.
Jiang Zhiluo picked up the noodles in her small bowl, blew on them, and put them in her mouth. She seemed very satisfied with the taste, her eyes curved into crescents, "Delicious."
"As long as it tastes good, eat more."
Jiang Zhiluo ate a few mouthfuls of noodles and drank some noodle soup, and felt her stomach was really comfortable.
She seemed to have thought of something and looked at him with doubtful eyes.
Cui Hejin asked patiently and kindly, "What's wrong?"
"You used to be the prince of the Duke's Mansion. Isn't it said that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen? Can you still learn to cook?"
