Marriage First, True Love Later Chapter 183

183 017 egg noodles

Lin Li couldn't remember how long it had been since she had cried to her heart's content like this. When Anran told her that Chengxiang had an affair, she didn't cry. When Chengxiang left at his wedding and woke up in the hospital, the doctor said that his child was gone. She cried, but she could only stare at the ceiling and cry because she knew that if she was sad, someone else would be sadder than her. When her father suddenly collapsed and was diagnosed with cancer, she was so flustered that she didn't know what to do at all. She was so scared and anxious. She wanted to cry, but she could only hold it in because she was afraid that her mother would not be able to take it if she cried. In the end, all her tears accumulated.

After waking up in a daze, Lin Li finally realized that she had fallen asleep from crying too much. The light in the room was still on, just like before she fell asleep. She turned her head and looked out the window. It was still dark outside, with only a few stars in the night sky.

After staring outside for a while, Lin Li slowly turned her head to look at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It was 1:32.

“Gulp …”

The room was too quiet. In such a quiet room, the sudden sound seemed a little abrupt.

Lin Li reached out and turned off the light in the room. She ignored the sound coming from her stomach, turned around, and closed her eyes.

She didn't know if it was because she had just fallen asleep, but after ten minutes, Lin Li had tossed and turned several times, but she still didn't feel sleepy at all. She opened her eyes in the dark, and the soreness in her eyes made her feel a little uncomfortable. She reached out and rubbed them, and the hunger in her stomach quickly diverted her attention. She sat up with her hands on the bed and reached out to touch her stomach. Lin Li couldn't help but smile bitterly.

She lifted the blanket and got out of bed. Although she knew that she might not be able to eat much even if she found something to eat, she felt as if her stomach had been emptied, and she couldn't sleep at all.

When he opened the door, the room was dark and silent. He pushed open the door in the corridor and followed the light into the kitchen. He turned on the light, and the light illuminated the entire kitchen. When he opened the refrigerator, he realized that there was no food in the refrigerator at all. There were only branded Eggs and Ham that he was going to use for breakfast the next morning.

She reached out to take an egg from the refrigerator. Just as Lin Li was hesitating whether to boil an egg for herself to fill her stomach, a cold and slightly serious voice suddenly came from behind her.

“What are you doing?”

Lin Li was so frightened that she lost her grip on the egg in her hand and it fell directly to the ground. The eggshell cracked and the egg liquid spilled all over the ground.

When she turned around, Zhou han was wearing a dark blue shirt, but the sleeves of the shirt collar were unbuttoned, revealing her bronze-colored pectoral muscles. He was holding a mug in his hand and staring at her. He didn't seem to be resting because he was still wearing his daytime clothes and seemed to have not changed out.

Lin Li let out a long sigh. why didn't you sleep in the middle of the night? why did you come out to scare people? ”

Zhou handing looked at her for a long time before saying, ” “It's better for me to say this.”

Lin Li only listened and didn't take his words to heart. She turned around, took the cloth on the counter, and squatted down to clean the egg liquid on the ground.

When she stood up and turned around to see Zhou han, Lin Li suddenly recalled the words he said when she slept late. Her cheeks unconsciously turned red. She averted her eyes and didn't look at him. She turned around and put the rag in the sink to wash it.

“Looking for something to eat?” As he spoke, Zhou han had already walked in.

Lin Li didn't say anything. She just lowered her head and washed the sticky egg liquid in the rag. After the night, she suddenly felt that she was in a transparent state in front of him. His eyes were too poisonous. He could see the thoughts in the depths of a person's heart clearly with one glance, giving her a very unsafe feeling.

After washing the rag in her hand and placing it on the counter, Lin Li didn't even look at him. With a hot face, Lin Li directly turned around and went back to her room.

Zhou han took the mug and turned to look at her figure entering the room quickly. Her speed was so fast that it made people think that she had just trotted back.

Lin Li hugged her legs and sat on the bed for a while. She didn't know what was going on today, but her stomach was still growling non-stop. It seemed like she wouldn't let her sleep if she didn't give her food.

Lin Li touched her shriveled stomach and muttered to herself with a bitter smile, ” please, please, stop screaming. You can't eat much anyway, so it doesn't matter if you eat or not!

As if it was really trying to go against her, the GRU's voice did not lower at all. Instead, it screamed even louder. Lin Li buried her head in her knees. After a long while, she finally touched her stomach and resigned herself to her fate. She got up, opened the door, and went out.

The light outside the door was still on. She instinctively thought that Zhou han might have forgotten to turn off the light when he left. She walked towards the kitchen, but stopped at the dining area in front of the kitchen. She looked at Zhou han, who was sitting at the dining table and drinking coffee, with a surprised expression.

Zhou han looked at her and said slowly with a blank expression, ” “If you don't come out in another five minutes, I'm going to throw this bowl of noodles away.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Li finally noticed that on his right-hand side, there was a bowl of cooked egg noodles. It seemed to be a little overcooked, and a large portion of the soup was absorbed by the noodles. The whole bowl of noodles looked a little dry, and it didn't look very good.

you … Lin Li looked at him and then at the noodles on the table. For a moment, she didn't quite understand what he meant.

Zhou han took another sip of coffee and said, ” “Have a seat. Aren't you hungry?” It was clearly a question, but he said it more naturally than a statement.

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

I … Lin Li opened her mouth, but she didn't know what she could say.

After taking a look at her, Zhou han didn't say anything more. He stood up, took the coffee on the table, and headed directly in the direction of the study.

Lin Li watched him enter the study. When she saw the door open and close, she retracted her gaze and returned it to the noodles on the table.

He slowly pulled out a chair and sat down. The noodles were a simple bowl of egg noodles. On the side, there were two pieces of slightly burnt ham and a little scallion.

She picked up the chopsticks at the side, picked up the noodles, and sucked a mouthful. She didn't know if it was because she was really too hungry, but the taste was unexpectedly very good. Even if the noodles were already burnt, when it entered her mouth, Lin Li still felt that the taste wasn't inferior to that of the chefs in the restaurants outside.

It was hard to imagine that a man like Zhou han could actually cook. What was even more incredible was that his cooking skills were not bad. Such a discovery made Lin Li a little unbelievable. As she ate the noodles, a smile that she didn't notice appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Zhou han finished the last document and read it from beginning to end again. He closed the folder and put it aside. He raised his hand to look at the time. It was already two-thirty in the morning. He let out a long breath and leaned back in a relaxed manner.

Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang! at this time-there was a knock on the door.

Zhou han frowned and opened his eyes, but he didn't reply. He still sat there with his head raised.

Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang! the regular rhythm came from the door again.

This time, Zhou han sat up straight and reached out to pinch his sore eyebrows. He slowly said, ” come in. His voice was filled with exhaustion.

Lin Li, who was outside, pushed the door open and came in. In fact, she had been standing outside for quite a while, struggling for a long time before she reached out to knock on the door. It was actually quite simple. She just wanted to thank him. After all, that bowl of noodles did taste good. What surprised Lin Li was that she actually finished such a big bowl of noodles, perhaps because she was really hungry that night. It was not a big deal according to her previous appetite, but according to her current situation … It could be said to be a miracle, and up until now, he had no signs of wanting to vomit.

that … Lin Li stood at the door, her hands clenched a little nervously and unnaturally. She looked up at Zhou han and stammered after a long time, ” that, that, thank you for tonight.

Zhou han looked at her fixedly, and when Lin Li felt a little uncomfortable, he slowly opened his mouth and asked, ” “Thank me for what?”

“Thank you for the noodles. It's delicious.” Lin Li looked at him with a dry smile on her face.

Zhou Han's mouth twitched and he sneered, ” “I thought you were going to thank me for waking you up.”

Hearing this, Lin Li's face subconsciously heated up, and she turned her eyes away from him. Feeling a little embarrassed, she could only say, ” I-I'm going to sleep first. You should rest early too. She turned around and wanted to leave.

“Wait a moment.”

Behind her, Zhou han called out to her and stood up from behind the desk. He walked around the desk and walked towards her.

Lin Li turned around and looked at him in confusion. “What else is there?”

Zhou han looked at her eyes for a while, then reached out and pulled her into the study room. They sat down on the sofa on the side of the study room.

Lin Li was puzzled, not knowing what he wanted to do. She just stared at her and asked, ” “W-what's the matter?”

Zhou han only glanced at her and said, ” “You sit first.” As he spoke, he stood up and walked out of the study.

After a while, just as Lin Li was hesitating whether to get up and leave, Zhou han came in with Zhou Jiabin's basin and placed it on the low table in front of Lin Li. Only then did Lin Li notice that there was a towel in it, and the water in the basin didn't seem to be low in temperature, slowly steaming.

When Lin Li was still wondering why Zhou han brought these things over, Zhou han had already bent down and took a towel from the basin. He folded the towel into a small rectangle and then gestured for her to lean back on the sofa. lean back.

Lin Li didn't understand. She didn't know what he was trying to do. what? ”

Zhou han didn't say anything. He directly reached out and pressed on her shoulder. He used a little strength to make Lin Li lean back. Then, he covered her eyes with the hot towel in his hand. As he pulled her hand, he said in his slightly cold voice, ” “Press it down and apply it properly.”

Only then did Lin Li know that she had brought in the hot water to apply on her eyes. She suddenly felt an indescribable touch in her heart. She was touched that this rough and cold-looking man would actually have such a warm and careful side.

She was a little touched. With her hand on the towel, the tip of her nose felt a little sour as she said, ” thank you!

Zhou han just glanced at her and didn't say anything. He turned back to his desk and started to pack up the documents and information that he would need tomorrow.
