Chapter 190: Eating Noodles Together
"Wait a minute!" Seeing that Lin Yilan was really about to leave, Huo Juncheng quickly stopped her. Lin Yilan had known that Huo Juncheng would stop her, so she didn't even take a few steps.
"What? Do you want to eat? But I remember you don't like eating street food. Why don't you forget it? If you're hungry, let Sister Xiu make you something to eat. I'll put this in the refrigerator. After all, I didn't eat enough today and I'll want to eat again tomorrow."
"Lin Yilan, you saw me talking to that woman today, and you didn't react at all? And now you're still in the mood to go to a roadside stall with Chu Siran?"
"You play your game, I eat mine. What's the big deal? You're just having a barbecue at the beach. What's my feeling? If you want to go, go ahead. I can't stop you."
Huo Juncheng was speechless when he saw Lin Yilan like this. How could this be completely different from what he had imagined? Huo Juncheng said nothing more and motioned for Lin Yilan to sit on the sofa. Lin Yilan felt Huo Juncheng's gaze, put the food in her hand on the coffee table, and sat down.
"Lin Yilan, you don't care at all when that woman approaches me. Aren't you afraid of me..." Huo Juncheng stopped here, thinking in his heart if it was a bit wrong to say this, afraid that Lin Yilan would really think too much, so he didn't say the second half of the sentence.
Lin Yilan looked at Huo Juncheng, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and finally couldn't hold it in any longer. "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. To be honest with you, I feel a little uncomfortable seeing that woman close to you."
"and you……"
Lin Yilan interrupted Huo Juncheng before he could finish, "Because Zheng Ronglan told me a long time ago that you went to that beach barbecue just to piss me off, so I'm actually not worried at all."
When Huo Juncheng heard Lin Yilan say this, he finally knew where the problem lay. It turned out that it was his friend who had been betraying him. He wondered why Lin Yilan didn't feel anything at all.
Seeing Lin Yilan having fun for a long time, and finally saying she was tired and wanted to go home, and had no intention of participating in the beach barbecue activity, Huo Juncheng felt panicked at the time.
He knew at the time that what he did was wrong, but the words had already been spoken and there was no way to take them back. Looking at Lin Yilan's back as she walked away with Chu Siran, Huo Juncheng didn't even say hello to Zheng Ronglan and just followed them.
However, Zheng Ronglan was quick to stop him and told Huo Juncheng that it would be too embarrassing if he chased after him now. Huo Juncheng thought about it and it made sense. He was in the same state just now, and it was indeed inappropriate for him to chase after him now.
So he listened to Zheng Ronglan and stayed at the beach for a while before returning to the Huo family. On the way back to the Huo family, he was still thanking Zheng Ronglan and felt that his friendship with this brother was not in vain.
As a result, after hearing from Lin Yilan that all this was because of Zheng Ronglan, Huo Juncheng now wanted to run straight to Zheng Ronglan and beat him up.
Lin Yilan looked at Huo Juncheng's ever-changing face and patted him to bring him back to his senses. "What are you thinking about? I know you did that yesterday with Peter Zhang because you cared about me, but you have to believe me. Even if Peter Zhang is a bit of a playboy, there's really nothing wrong with me having dinner with him."
"Then why did you still go? You should have just refused at that time." Huo Juncheng looked at Lin Yilan's softened expression, and his resentment towards Zheng Ronglan also dissipated by more than half.
"To be honest, I really don't want to go have dinner with him. I'd rather go out with Siran. We've been discussing this for a long time, but Peter Zhang is your partner. I can't usually help you much, but I can't cause trouble for you either. He invites me again and again. What if I don't go and he gets angry?"
Huo Juncheng didn't expect Lin Yilan to say that. He had been unable to understand why Lin Yilan wanted to have dinner with Peter Zhang. Now Lin Yilan told him that she went because she was considering him.
"It seems that it was right for me to terminate my cooperation with Pete Zhang." Huo Juncheng took the skewers that Lin Yilan had placed on the table. Although he showed a look of disgust, he still took out one and put it in his mouth.
"Huo Juncheng, why are you eating my barbecue? I told you this is what I'm going to eat tomorrow. Did you not eat yet and are you trying to steal it from me? Didn't you have enough of your barbecue at the beach?"
What seafood barbecue? Huo Juncheng drove back to the Huo family not long after Lin Yilan and Chu Siran left. He had no time to eat seafood barbecue. He thought that when he returned home, Lin Yilan would definitely be at home, and might even be sad alone.
Unexpectedly, when she returned home, not only was Lin Yilan not at the Huo family's house, but she had been waiting on the sofa for more than two hours. Lin Yilan was having a good time outside, while Huo Juncheng was waiting for her alone at home and had not eaten yet.
However, Huo Juncheng did not tell Lin Yilan that he was taking the remaining skewers away, and he did not stop her. To be precise, Lin Yilan took the remaining barbecue away before Huo Juncheng could stop her.
"Huo Juncheng, I know you definitely didn't go to that beach barbecue, but you didn't really skip dinner, did you?"
When Huo Juncheng heard Lin Yilan ask this, he didn't answer her, but it was also considered as a tacit agreement.
Well, this is Lin Yilan's fault. She shouldn't have been angry with Huo Juncheng in the first place, nor should she tease him here now. Lin Yilan got up, put the barbecue in the refrigerator, and came out with two buckets of instant noodles.
"Sister Xiu is almost asleep by now, and I don't know how to cook. Fortunately, we have instant noodles at home. We'll just have to make do with it." Lin Yilan glanced at Huo Juncheng who was still sitting on the sofa with a helpless expression on her face.
"How about this, to apologize to you properly, I'll personally make you some instant noodles. Is that sincere enough?"
Huo Juncheng actually wanted to refuse Lin Yilan at first. After all, although Sister Xiu was asleep now, it would not be convenient to wake her up to cook for Huo Juncheng. However, Sister Xiu had cooked dinner, and Huo Juncheng did not eat it at the time. He also specifically told Sister Xiu to leave it on the table and not to clean it up.
Even if it's a little cold, heating it up is much better than eating instant noodles.
But when he saw Lin Yilan opening the instant noodle bucket, carefully opening the seasoning packet, pouring boiling water into the bucket, and finally running to hand it to Huo Juncheng because the bucket was too hot, Huo Juncheng gave up the idea of reminding Lin Yilan.
Although Lin Yilan was already full from the barbecue, she still opened another bucket of instant noodles and joined Huo Juncheng in eating. The only sounds left in the quiet living room were the two people slurping their noodles.
In fact, Huo Juncheng doesn’t like junk food at all. These instant noodles were bought by Lin Yilan before, but he doesn’t know if it’s because he is hungry or for other reasons, but he really thinks this bucket of instant noodles tastes great!
