Upon entering, you are greeted by a bright space, where simple furniture is arranged in an orderly manner in the living room.
A soft sofa and a small coffee table, nothing else superfluous.
Although simple, it gives people a clean and refreshing feeling.
"Please have a seat." Huo Nanchu pointed to the sofa in the living room.
"Okay, sure." Yue Yitang nodded obediently in response.
Afterwards, Huo Nanchu went to the kitchen, washed the fruit, poured a glass of warm water and placed it on the table, then tied on an apron and began to cook noodles.
Yue Yitang began to observe the room. The whole room gave people a refreshing and pleasant feeling. The floor was as clean as a mirror, obviously having been carefully swept; the walls were spotless and without any flaws; the furniture was arranged in an orderly manner, revealing the owner's good living habits.
By the dim light of the living room, one could vaguely see that there was only a lonely bed in the bedroom, and nothing else.
Then, she saw the restroom and got up, intending to tidy herself up.
On the sink, men’s daily toiletries and skincare products were neatly arranged, and towels were hanging on a rack.
These details suggest that this place is more like a place for people to stay briefly and rest, rather than a place to live permanently.
Before long, two steaming bowls of beef noodles were ready.
"Dinner's ready, Tangtang," Huo Nanchu called out to Yue Yitang in a gentle tone.
Staring at the beef noodles on the table, Yue Yitang was astonished and blurted out, "Did you make this?"
"Yes, try it." Huo Nanchu smiled and handed the chopsticks to Yue Yitang.
Yue Yitang was genuinely surprised that Huo Nanchu could cook; she had assumed that when he invited her to his home for dinner, a chef would prepare the meal.
Looking at the noodles in front of me, which looked quite appetizing, I secretly thought that no matter how they tasted, I had to finish them all to avoid embarrassing the other person.
However, when she took her first bite, her eyes immediately lit up with surprise—the taste was unexpectedly delicious.
She was starving at the moment, and in the blink of an eye, she devoured the entire bowl of noodles.
"Are you full?" Huo Nanchu asked softly, gently putting down his chopsticks.
"Mmm, I'm full." Yue Yitang nodded slightly, a hint of shyness appearing on her face.
She glanced subconsciously at the bowl in front of her, which was almost empty except for a little bit of noodle soup, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Huo Nanchu deftly cleared away the dishes for the two of them, then stood up and walked towards the kitchen. "Wait for me a moment. After I finish washing the dishes, I'll take you home."
Yue Yitang wanted to help, but when she thought about how she had never been in a kitchen before and didn't know how to help, she gave up the idea.
She sat quietly in the chair, her gaze fixed on Huo Nanchu, who was busy in the kitchen.
At this moment, my previously agitated mind, which had been disturbed by the shock, miraculously calmed down.
Even more surprisingly, a thought suddenly popped into my head: perhaps this kind of life is quite wonderful.
Just as Yue Yitang was lost in thought, Huo Nanchu had quickly washed the dishes and came out of the kitchen.
The two walked out the door side by side once again.
Night had fallen, and countless stars twinkled in the sky.
The streets were very quiet, with only the sound of two people walking.
Huo Nanchu looked at Yue Yitang, who was obediently wearing his coat, and felt a sense of peace and tranquility.
"Are you feeling better?" Huo Nanchu turned his head slightly, his gaze fixed intently on Yue Yitang's face, revealing endless concern, and asked softly.
Yue Yitang's lips curled into a faint smile: "Yes, it's all alright now. Don't worry!"
Huo Nanchu frowned slightly, seemingly still harboring some concern, and continued to ask, "Do you know that person?"
Yue Yitang gently shook her head, indicating that she did not know him: "I think he is probably just an overly enthusiastic fan. Perhaps for some reason, he has developed an excessive amount of attention and affection for me."
Huo Nanchu nodded thoughtfully, but the vigilance in her eyes did not lessen in the slightest: "That's fine, but just in case, I'll still arrange for someone to investigate this person's background. Just to ensure your safety in case something similar happens again in the future."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Also, don't go out alone late at night. Understand?"
Yue Yitang felt a warmth in her heart, sensing Huo Nanchu's sincere care and protection. She nodded gently and replied, "I understand, thank you! I will be careful."
Huo Nanchu did not reveal all his thoughts, because he knew that people like him tonight should not be allowed to run rampant in society.
Today Yue Yitang is the one suffering, but who knows if others won't be next?
Today, Yue Yitang met me, but others might not be as lucky as her.
Therefore, this person must bear the consequences of his actions.
But he was worried that he would frighten Yue Yitang, so he chose to remain silent.
After getting into the car, the two fell silent again.
The car was quiet and peaceful, with a tranquil and comfortable atmosphere.
Having just eaten a hearty meal and with the time already late, Yue Yitang soon began to yawn, despite her efforts to keep her eyelids open and stay awake.
"Take a nap if you're sleepy, I'll wake you up when we get there," Huo Nanchu said softly, seeing Yue Yitang struggling to stay awake.
"It's okay, I'm not that sleepy yet," Yue Yitang replied vaguely.
However, before long, an intense weariness finally overwhelmed her, and she fell into a deep sleep.
Looking at the sleeping Yue Yitang, Huo Nanchu's face showed a doting smile. At the same time, he carefully adjusted the temperature inside the car to a more comfortable level.
When we arrived at Yijingxi Garden, it was already 2 a.m.
Everything went as smoothly as last time, and Huo Nanchu entered the park with ease.
Even the security guards at the entrance seemed more enthusiastic and attentive than last time, but Huo Nanchu didn't think too much about the reasons behind it.
Huo Nanchu looked at Yue Yitang's peaceful sleeping face with tenderness in his eyes.
Huo Nanchu did not wake Yue Yitang, but carefully picked her up and carried her towards her bedroom.
Throughout the journey, his steps were steady and light, as if afraid of waking the person in his arms.
After entering the room, he gently placed Yue Yitang on the soft and comfortable bed, carefully covered her with a blanket, and then gazed at her quietly for a moment before turning to leave.
The whole process was quiet yet full of care.
As the door gently closed, everything returned to normal, except for Yue Yitang, whose lips seemed to be slightly upturned as if she were having a sweet dream...
