"You haven't had dinner yet?" Jiang Mingxin tried to shift his gaze elsewhere and pointed to the cupboard. "We have sweet potato flour and noodles. Want some?"
Xing Haodong looked around and said, "It would be even better if there were some green vegetables."
Jiang Mingxin took out a handful of spinach from the refrigerator, thought for a while, and then took out an egg.
Taking the things from her, Xing Haodong said in a hoarse voice, "I can do it myself. You go and rest."
Jiang Mingxin turned and walked to the balcony, gathered the spread-out porcelain tiles and put them away. He was thinking about going to sleep, but his legs moved back uncontrollably.
"It's too early to sleep. Why don't I eat something too?"
Xing Haodong nodded and ordered another bowl of noodles as he was told.
Looking at the soft-boiled egg at the bottom of the bowl, she rubbed her nose guiltily. She was a little reluctant to eat it just now, but now it seemed that the clown was actually herself.
Forget it, let’s buy some meat tomorrow and give him a snack.
Xing Haodong held the bowl and buried his head in eating noodles, as if he was really hungry. He finished eating in less than ten minutes. He kept waiting for her to slurp the noodles clean, took their bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen to wash, wiped them clean, and then put them on the bowl rack.
The set of movements was clean and neat, which made Jiang Mingxin very satisfied.
She originally wanted to talk to Xing Haodong about the next mission, but he went straight into the bathroom with a cup of hot water.
After taking a shower, Xing Haodong saw Jiang Mingxin still wandering around the living room. He whispered, "You have to go to school tomorrow, go back to bed. By the way, what do you want to eat tomorrow morning?"
Jiang Mingxin was stunned for a moment, "Zhuangmo."
Xing Haodong nodded: "Okay, but I don't know how to make this. I can only buy it for you tomorrow morning. How much do you spend on food every day?"
Jiang Mingxin stared at him, "Huh?"
"Didn't we agree that I'll stay at your place and take care of all the meals, including the housework?" Xing Haodong said, pulling out a plastic-sealed notebook from his suitcase. "Tell me your budget so I can go grocery shopping and manage my daily expenses."
Jiang Mingxin was dumbfounded.
She thought it was just his excuse, but she didn't expect it to be serious.
"Well... 65 cents a day, after all, there are two of us." She didn't think Xing Haodong could stick with it. He probably just had a temporary interest and would give up after a few days.
Xing Haodong carefully wrote down the amount of money, then opened his hands towards her and said, "Okay, then give me the first week's expenses first."
Jiang Mingxin directly gave him five yuan and said, "You can keep the remaining money until next week."
Xing Haodong took the money and wrote it down. "Okay, starting tomorrow, you don't have to worry about cooking for this family. From now on, when you come home from school every day, after finishing your homework, do what you want to do, whether it's walking the dog or going shopping."
Jiang Mingxin had the illusion that he was dreaming.
Not dating, but getting a nanny for free, that’s pretty good!
When he woke up the next day, Xing Haodong had already made his bed, and even the towel blanket was neatly folded.
On the dining table, two pieces of steamed buns were covered with a gauze cover, and there was a bowl of milk next to them.
Was this milk also bought by Xing Haodong?
Jiang Mingxin felt strange because she didn't have any milk powder at home and hadn't ordered any fresh milk.
After washing up and while eating, Xing Haodong came back from outside with one arm hanging and vegetables in the other hand.
"What's wrong with your hand?"
"I told Aunt Hu yesterday that my arm was broken. I'll act it out in full. Hanging it for a few days before taking it apart will make it look more realistic."
"Have you eaten yet?"
Jiang Mingxin's gaze involuntarily fell on his neck.
The buttons of his shirt were not buttoned properly, leaving it slightly open, and beads of sweat rolled down from his collarbone to his chest, forming lines.
The beads of sweat shone with a crystal luster, shining along with the curves of his muscles. Such masculine and strong beauty made Jiang Mingxin quite unable to resist.
This is too unfair!
Jiang Mingxin wailed in his heart, and took a big bite of the steamed bun in his hand, as if he was eating meat.
"It's only seven o'clock. It's still early. Don't choke."
Xing Haodong pushed the milk towards her and said, "You are still growing, so you can drink more."
Jiang Mingxin was helpless and sulking. She was the one who refused to fall in love, and now she was the one who was distracted. Why was she so mean?
"Where did you get the milk?" she asked.
If she doesn't change the subject, she'll lose her composure.
Xing Haodong pointed to the corner of the wall and said, "Early this morning, Jiang Bin sent two cans of milk powder and two boxes of canned oranges. He lives in Shendu now, so it's not easy for him to come here."
It seemed that the second-generation military man would not treat her badly even if he lived with her. Jiang Mingxin's guilt for enslaving him disappeared in an instant.
After drinking the milk and wiping her mouth, she put on her schoolbag and went to school.
"I won't be back at noon. I'm going to Brother Fang's place for dinner and to check on the progress of the clothing store renovation. You can handle it yourself."
Xing Haodong sent her to the door and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Jiang Mingxin looked back every few steps. Although she believed in his character, she still felt like she was inviting a wolf into the house.
This is her first home in this world and she doesn't want to leave any bad memories.
I came to school with a lot of thoughts in my mind. As soon as I entered the school gate, I saw the bulletin board was crowded with people.
They chattered and talked to each other, and burst into laughter from time to time, which instantly aroused Jiang Mingxin's curiosity.
She walked towards the crowd, but before she got close to the bulletin board, a girl caught sight of her and suddenly let out a scream.
"Look, it's her!"
Jiang Mingxin was completely confused. What happened? When did she become a man-eating monster?
