Li Hanchen had just taken a bath. His partially dried hair brought out his thick brows and sharp nose. His dark eyes were incredibly deep and mesmerizing.
“Still up?” Mu Sheng greeted him casually.
Li Hanchen glanced at the cup in Mu Sheng’s hand. “I’m going downstairs to get a drink.”
“I see,” acknowledged Mu Sheng before going downstairs with her cup. Li Hanchen followed behind her.
After taking a drink, Mu Sheng’s thirst was quenched. However, she ended up feeling hungry.
Mu Sheng did not eat much over dinner and had done a few hours of live telecast, so she felt famished and glanced at the kitchen.
Since it was late, Auntie Lin had already gone to bed and she did not know how to cook.
Never mind. She decided to sleep hungry and eat tomorrow morning.
Mu Sheng put down the glass and wanted to go upstairs.
Li Hanchen finally broke his silence and said, “I’m a little hungry.”
Mu Sheng glanced at Li Hanchen quizzically. “Are you hungry too?”
“Uh huh.” Li Hanchen nodded before he headed to the kitchen.
Mu Sheng was about to go upstairs, but she halted in her steps and turned to look at Li Hanchen. He had surprisingly turned on the stove.
Li Hanchen looked incredibly elegant as he chopped ingredients with his long slender hands.
He was dressed in a white shirt and a black coat. From behind, the light shining over him softened his lines. His well-chiseled profile was partially concealed by a shadow as he lowered his head and worked intently.
The scent of food wafted in the air and made Mu Sheng even more famished.
She walked up beside Li Hanchen and looked inside the frying pan. There was rice coated with egg mixed with some ham and greens. Just looking at it whetted Mu Sheng’s appetite.
Li Hanchen glanced at Mu Sheng as she reached her head out to check out the fried rice and found her somewhat adorable.
“This smells…” Mu Sheng raised her head to talk to Li Hanchen but ended up stunned.
After all this time, she had never seen Li Hanchen with such an expression.
It was the first time she ever saw it.
Even though his face remained cold, his deep dark eyes looked slightly smiley.
Li Hanchen stood up straight with a soft glow on his face and seemed absolutely ethereal.
Mu Sheng went into a daze. Li Hanchen had already gone back to normal when she turned to look at him once more. Mu Sheng even suspected that she was hallucinating.
“Go get some chopsticks.” Li Hanchen took two bowls of fried rice to the dining table.
Mu Sheng already had a taste of Li Hanchen’s cooking previously. She ate as she asked casually, “Why do you know how to cook?”
After all, no one would guess Li Hanchen was capable of cooking.
Li Hanchen briefly went quiet before he finally said, “So that I could survive.”
Even though it was just five words, they sounded heavy when he spoke.
Li Hanchen learned everything so that he could survive. He had overcome deadly jungles, snowy mountains, and also jumped into a huge river before. He had even mastered inconceivable skills before he could climb up from the depths of hell and stop the God of Death in his path so that he could come back home.
Mu Sheng recalled the rumors that the original owner of her body had in her memories. She pursed her lips before she reached her hand out and patted Li Hanchen on the shoulder. “Don’t worry. I will definitely cure you.”
Li Hanchen lowered his eyes to conceal the emotions surging through his eyes when he sensed the tiny weight on his shoulder. It felt as though Mu Sheng had caused fireworks to light up in his eyes.
However, Mu Sheng pulled her hand back and said, “We are roommates and you are pretty good to me. From now on, I will treat you like my brother. Don’t worry. I will make sure you recover.”
Li Hanchen went quiet before he raised his head and looked at Mu Sheng deeply. “What brother?”
