Chapter 1441: Let’s Exchange
He knew that doctors like Jiang Yao were germaphobic, so he bought new bowls and chopsticks. When his brothers greeted him, he did not even lift his head in response; he continued to wash the dishes very seriously.
After that, he returned to Jiang Yao’s side and pushed the small table toward her. Then, he put the bowls and chopsticks on the table and the food he bought.
“Eat with me?”
Jiang Yao took the bowl and pointed at the chair for Lu Xingzhi to sit on.
“Sure,” the man replied. After tidying the table, he sat down on the chair and grabbed the mantou. Then, he gulped the soy milk in big mouthfuls. He did not even look at Jiang Yao the entire time.
Jiang Yao felt that something was wrong as she ate. Usually, when they sat together to eat, that guy would fix his eyes on her. Why was he eating so obediently?
Jiang Yao held a bowl of porridge and sipped on it. Then, she stared at Lu Xingzhi intently.
Lu Xingzhi could feel her unconcealed gaze even if he did not have eyes on the back of his head.
He swallowed the last mouthful of the steamed bun before looking up at Jiang Yao and asked, “Is it not good?”
“It’s fine.”
Jiang Yao could not taste the porridge, only the previously taken medicine.
In fact, she had no appet.i.te at all, nor did she feel hungry. She simply wanted him to have breakfast, so she said she was hungry, thinking that he would eat some too.
Even though she was not hungry, she was afraid he would be hungry. She worried about his health, fearful that he would not take care of himself.
Lu Xingzhi grunted again and lowered his head to continue eating his breakfast. He did not say anything else.
However, he thought about cooking some noodles for her lunch. She liked to eat his food.
“Is the soybean milk good?”
Jiang Yao looked at the soybean milk in Lu Xingzhi’s hand and craved it, especially since there was only the smell of medicine in her mouth, and the porridge was light. She wanted to eat something with a stronger taste.
When Lu Xingzhi heard Jiang Yao’s question, he looked up and saw her greedy expression. No matter how bad his mood was, he was amused by her expression.
“Want a sip?”
Lu Xingzhi brought the bowl to Jiang Yao’s lips. “If you like it, I’ll buy it for you tomorrow morning.”
Jiang Yao happily took two mouthfuls. Then, she decisively stuffed the porridge back into Lu Xingzhi’s hands. “Let’s exchange one for the other!”
Then, she happily held the soy milk and drank it one sip at a time. Lu Xingzhi occasionally took two bites of the mantou in his hands.
After Jiang Yao was full, Lu Xingzhi took a few bites of the remaining mantou and swallowed them. The remaining porridge was only a matter of a few spoonfuls for him. After eating, he quickly put away the things on the table.
Jiang Yao looked at Lu Xingzhi, who was busy; she could not help but sigh in her heart.
She knew that he was unhappy, but she did not know how to coax him. Therefore, she could only try her best to show her femininity and act coquettishly toward him, hoping that he would be happier.
After Lu Xingzhi came back from was.h.i.+ng the dishes, Jiang Yao moved to the side of the bed and waved her hand. “Come and sleep with me!”
The sun had already shone through the window. The spots of light were beautiful, but they were not as beautiful as the way she smiled at him.
“I’ll sleep on the sofa.”
Lu Xingzhi leaned over and pulled Moe, who was curled up in the innermost corner and was sound asleep.
“Am I that ugly now?”
Jiang Yao once again came up with that idea.
