Yu Huan ate the entire bowl of noodles, not even leaving any of the soup.
Eating other people's food softened his mouth, satisfied his stomach, and warmed his body, so Yu Huan's words sounded better.
"The food you cook is so delicious." She exclaimed, shaking her head.
"Um."
After thinking about it for a long time, when the person came to him, Gu Lan pretended nothing happened.
He didn't want her to see that he was fascinated by her, and didn't want her to know that he was bewitched by her. That would make him feel too selfless and would easily be looked down upon.
So he spoke in a calm and composed tone and told Yu Huan: "You can stay here as you like. Here is the key to the door. The fruits are over there. I'll buy some snacks later."
Yu Huan casually took the key from his hand and accidentally touched him with her fingertips.
Gu Lan's body felt like it had been electrified, and his entire body was numb.
"Will there be a midnight snack later?" Yu Huan asked tentatively.
She didn’t eat well during her last meal. The noodles made by Gu Lan tasted so good that she wanted more and more. She always felt like she wasn’t full.
"Yes." Gu Lan answered and went out to buy things.
There is a medium-sized shopping mall nearby where he usually buys daily necessities.
Because of his outstanding appearance and frequent appearance, he has long become a topic of conversation among the cashiers.
They guessed he must be single now, swearing that only a single man's life could be so boring. He always bought the same few things every time he came, and only came out to shop because he had run out of things at home.
However, this time, he came to check out with a cart of things.
The cashier looked at the cart, then looked at him in disbelief. She felt an inexplicable sense of relief that the child she had been watching had finally started a family and a career.
The cashier, who is in her middle age and has great enthusiasm for life, scans each item with swift hands and feet.
When he was about to pay the bill, Gu Lan looked up and accidentally made eye contact with the other party. He unexpectedly discovered that there was something wrong with the other party's eyes when he was looking at him, a kind of admiration.
He felt a little confused.
The glance they exchanged made the cashier unable to stop staring. She asked casually while packing her things, "Are you dating a girlfriend?"
"How do you know?" Gu Lan was shocked.
After the shock, I realized that my words were a little wrong because we didn’t talk about it at all.
"No." He lowered his head and said, "She is back."
Auntie looked at him with a look that said nothing.
Gu Lan bought so many snacks that he took them to Yu Huan's room and found no place to put them. He thought he should buy a snack cabinet, so he called someone and asked them to send one over tomorrow.
Gu Lan bought a lot of ingredients again.
In the evening, I cooked a sumptuous midnight snack.
The sparkling drink he bought was very much to Yu Huan's liking. They sat face to face, with tempting food on the table. She opened the pull ring and raised the drink can to clink glasses with him.
Gu Lan's consciousness was stagnant, but his body was still reliable. He controlled his arms and completed the action steadily.
The collision caused the liquid inside to react, exploding into countless dense bubbles, which then burst one by one. The unique sound made people feel as if they were feeling the cool and refreshing liquid entering their throats.
Countless light bubbles popped up in Gu Lan's heart, making him dizzy.
Yu Huan was eating grilled chicken wings. The outer layer was an attractive caramel color, the meat was plump and juicy, and it was garnished with vanilla and pepper salt to enhance the flavor.
"Everything you make is delicious," she couldn't help but say.
"There is an aunt in the Qin family who makes this very well. It's the most delicious thing I have ever eaten. The aunt is also a very nice person. For two consecutive years, she has brought me midnight snacks every night," Gu Lan suddenly said.
Yu Huan had almost forgotten about that incident. Only when he brought it up did she remember a little bit.
But she didn't want to admit it, so she pretended to be shocked and said, "So, in order to thank that auntie, you stole her secret recipe for grilled chicken wings?"
She denied it.
He didn't force her, he just thought this was a good idea, a scene he had imagined for a long time.
After having supper, she went back to her room to wash up. After a while, she came out wearing silk pajamas embroidered with yellow flowers and asked him for a hair dryer.
Gu Lan was stunned for a moment and said with difficulty: "It's broken."
He himself did not live a luxurious life. He did have a hair dryer given as a gift when he bought some furniture, but the quality was not very good, and he did not take it seriously when it broke.
He has short hair and dries quickly, so it doesn't matter whether he uses it or not.
I never thought that one day I would end up here.
He wanted to prepare everything for her, but he didn't expect there would still be something missing. He made a quick decision and said, "I'll ask someone to buy one and send it over. Wait a moment."
After the hair dryer was delivered, he gave it to Yu Huan. Seeing that Yu Huan was taking care of her skin in front of a small mirror she carried with her, he realized that he had not prepared a dressing table.
After giving the hair dryer to Yu Huan, he immediately contacted the person who sold the furniture and asked him to send a dressing table the next day.
It was already late, so in order to avoid being disturbed by this impulsive customer, the other party asked in a friendly manner, "Are you sure that's all? Don't you need anything else?"
This sentence suddenly awakened some of Gu Lan's consciousness.
"etc."
He paced the living room and noticed that the shoe-changing bench was missing from the entrance. He also realized that there seemed to be no dressing mirror at home. He wasn't sure if the wardrobe would be big enough for her. He thought it would be best to buy another one. She didn't like to sit properly, so she needed a soft single sofa. There were no plants in the house, the air purification was poor, and there were chests of drawers and floor mats...
As he added each one, the other party was stunned. He didn't expect that just one sentence of his could bring in such a big order. He was delighted but also puzzled, and asked politely, "Do you want to renovate the house?"
Gu Lan didn't listen at all. He surveyed his house and felt that the light wasn't bright enough, the walls were too plain, and there were no nice decorations. The house was also too small, with no room for a cloakroom or playroom for her...
There were problems everywhere. He fell into unprecedented anxiety and at the same time developed a huge desire for career and money.
He wants to work hard to develop his career, make a lot of money, and buy a big house for her to live in.
So the next day, he was going out.
Although he was full of ambition and knew that Yu Huan would not go back until the matter at the Qin family was resolved, as soon as he stepped out of the house, he felt a fear that she would leave.
For this purpose, he deliberately said, intentionally or unintentionally, that he would make delicious garlic pork ribs when he came back to seduce Yu Huan.
"Garlic spare ribs!" Yu Huan's eyes lit up, "I also want to eat spicy stir-fried rice cakes."
