Chapter 149 Reading Alone



Lu Chen and Liu Kaifan chatted from the door to the kitchen, and it took about an hour before they finished.

Lu Jinyan had been climbing on the window for over an hour. When she saw the two men coming out, she immediately ran out, staring at Lu Chen and asked, "Brother, are you done talking?"

Lu Chen said: "We're done talking, so why are you staring at me? I'm not some monster that can't eat your brother Kaifan."

"I'm just concerned about you, thank you, brother!" Lu Jinyan said seriously.

"Go find your brother Kaifan. I'm going to find Xiaolier." After saying that, Lu Chen went into the house.

Lu Jinyan happily ran to Liu Kaifan and took his hand. Liu Kaifan looked at her gently and they smiled at each other.

Lu Chen walked into the room and saw Su Ruoli concentrating on eating melon seeds, and shook his head.

He walked over to help Su Ruoli pour a glass of water, handed it to her, and said, "Aren't you thirsty after coughing so many melon seeds? Drink some water."

"I just started. Jinyan pulled me to climb on the window for more than an hour." Su Ruoli said.

"My little Li'er has worked hard." Lu Chen smiled with a doting look on his face.

"Are you done?" Su Ruoli looked up and asked, "Did you come to see me this morning?"

"Well, Zhang Sitong said you weren't up yet, so I came back." Lu Chen said.

Lu Chen touched Su Ruoli's head and a sweet smile appeared on his face.

"By the way, what did you say to Liu Kaifan?" Su Ruoli asked curiously.

"Some topics between men." Lu Chen deliberately kept the topic a secret. He looked at Su Ruoli with a cunning glint in his eyes.

Su Ruoli curled her lips and said, "Forget it." She turned her head and continued to eat melon seeds.

Lu Chen sighed softly. Of course, he would not tell Su Ruoli that he and Liu Kaifan first discussed the problems between him and Jin Yan, and finally discussed how to give her a romantic surprise.

He was preparing to propose. Why was he still single while his sister was married? It was so difficult to have a beautiful woman in front of him but only be able to look at her.

"Xiao Li'er, what are your plans for today? Do you want to go somewhere for fun?" Lu Chen asked.

"I'm going to read at home. Do you want to come to my place to read?" Su Ruoli said.

"Okay, let's go now?"

Su Ruoli nodded and put the melon seeds in her hand back on the plate.

Lu Chen said hello to Lu Jinyan and Liu Kaifan, then followed Su Ruoli.

When they arrived at Su Ruoli's house, Su Ruoli took advantage of the cover of the wardrobe and took out a large pile of books, including all her high school textbooks.

Lu Chen quickly walked over and took it. "Why are you still reading high school books?"

Su Ruoli moved the small table standing on the ground onto the kang. Lu Chen put the book on the table and touched the kang. It was cold.

"Wait a minute, I'll heat up the kang." Lu Chen said as he was about to walk out.

"Why heat the kang? It's not cold." Su Ruoli said.

"It's cold now. It's easy to catch a cold if you sit in such a cold place for a long time. Wait a minute, I'll be there soon." After saying that, Lu Chen went out to heat the kang.

Lu Chen came back soon and sat on the kang, and Su Ruoli followed suit.

The two sat facing each other and could see each other as soon as they looked up.

"Which book do you want to read?" Lu Chen asked with a smile.

Su Ruoli picked up a book and flipped through a few pages. It was a collection of poems. She read a few lines softly, her voice clear and melodious.

Lu Chen listened quietly, his eyes always fixed on her, full of tenderness.

"This poem is so beautiful." Su Ruoli said.

"You look even more beautiful when you recite poetry." Lu Chen whispered.

Su Ruoli's face turned slightly red, and she handed the book to Lu Chen, "I chose it for you, let me read this." Then she picked up the high school Chinese textbook and started reading.

Lu Chen smiled, took the book and gently flipped through it, looking up at Su Ruoli from time to time. A warm atmosphere filled the air.

Lu Chen and Su Ruoli sat quietly, each reading a book. Occasionally, they would look up, their eyes would meet, and they would smile knowingly.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, with only the sound of the wind outside the window and the sound of turning pages in the house intertwined.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Ruoli stretched and put down the book in her hand.

Seeing this, Lu Chen quickly asked, "Are you tired? Do you want to take a break?"

Su Ruoli shook her head and said with a smile: "I'm not tired, just a little hungry."

Lu Chen stood up and said, "Then I'll make you something to eat. What do you want to eat?"

"Anything is fine. As long as it's made by you, I like it." Su Ruoli said.

"Okay, stop looking and give your eyes a rest." Lu Chen got off the kang and went to the kitchen.

Lu Chen walked into the kitchen, put on an apron, and started to get busy. After a while, bursts of fragrance wafted out of the kitchen.

Su Ruoli smelled the fragrance and couldn't help but walk to the kitchen door. Looking at Lu Chen busy in front of the stove, her heart was filled with happiness.

When Lu Chen turned around, he saw Su Ruoli standing at the door. He smiled and said, "Why are you standing at the door? Come in and have some noodles."

Su Ruoli walked into the kitchen and helped Lu Chen bring out the bowl of noodles. The two sat at the table and enjoyed the delicious noodles.

"It's delicious! I can smell the fragrance in the room." Su Ruoli praised it highly.

Lu Chen looked at her satisfied expression and felt happy too.

Zhang Sitong smelled the fragrance in the room, got out of bed, put on her shoes, and ran to the kitchen. "What are you eating? It smells so good."

"The noodles made by Brother Lu are so delicious." Su Ruoli said deliberately boasting.

Lu Chen laughed and shook his head. It was rare to see Xiao Lier being so childish.

"Hey!! Can you please stop disgusting me?" Zhang Sitong rubbed his arms deliberately.

"There's still noodles on the stove, go cook it yourself." Su Ruoli said with a smile.

"That's pretty good." He said and went to cook noodles for himself happily.

By the time Zhang Sitong finished cooking the noodles, Su Ruoli and Lu Chen had already finished eating.

"Get out quickly after you finish eating. I don't want to eat dog food. I still need to eat noodles later." Zhang Sitong pushed the two of them out the door and closed the kitchen door with a bang.

The two people standing at the door looked at each other.

Su Ruoli asked with a smile: "Brother Lu, do we look like we've been kicked out of the house?"

Lu Chen nodded, thought about it seriously and said, "It really is a bit similar."

The two smiled at each other and said, "Let's go and continue reading."

"You've been reading for so long, take a break and go for a walk in the mountains," Lu Chen suggested.

"Okay, I'll satisfy you."

Hand in hand, the two of them strolled along the mountain path, facing the evening breeze and bathing in the afterglow of the sunset.

After finding a flat ground, they slowly sat down, back to back, feeling each other's warmth.

The breeze gently caressed their faces, bringing the unique freshness of the mountains and forests.

They fully enjoyed the tranquility and beauty of the moment, as if time had stopped.
