Chapter 569: Chapter 561: Gu Ning with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Chapter 569: Chapter 561: Gu Ning with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder “Going shopping?”
Tang Yuxin pointed to the sky outside, “What kind of shopping are we doing in the dead of night?”
Not to mention the lack of entertainment options compared to the future, but also it was just the dawn of the electronics industry.
Only major cities would have nightlife like the Sleepless City, but in small cities like theirs, even the cats and dogs were asleep at this hour, what entertainment was there?

Moreover, they were at the main hospital.
This was not just any place, this was a hospital.
There wasn’t even a soul outside, so what streets would they be roaming?
Were they going to feast on air or drink the northwest wind?
“Don’t worry,” Li Jia patted her chest, “Leave it to me, we have a car, and we’ll provide door-to-door service with no conditions.”
Tang Yuxin’s gaze landed on her chest.
“You’ll flatten it out if you pat it again.”
A muscle on Li Jia’s face stiffened, it seemed even the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily, was there anything more scathing than that?
“You guys go, I’m not going,” Tang Yuxin calculated her age in her mind, she was already old, unlike young people.
She had busied herself for a whole day, and had to continue working tomorrow, so she really had no time to show off her youth.
Her youth had long since been consumed.
All she wanted now was to quietly go home, cook herself a bowl of noodles, read a book for a while, and that was all, nothing more.
She really didn’t want anything else.
She waved goodbye and headed towards her dormitory, not caring about the disappointed gaze from the two people behind her.
But as soon as she opened the door, she found the dormitory had changed, with a lot of items on the floor, like vegetables and meat.
What was this…?
She hurriedly ran inside, and there were sounds of clanging from the kitchen.
“What, you’re back?”
Gu Ning washed his hands under the faucet and came back, “Let’s start, I’ve chopped all the vegetables.”
Tang Yuxin didn’t say much, she simply took the apron Gu Ning handed her, and washed her hands at the faucet.
Then she turned on the fire and started cooking.
Gu Ning’s knife skills were acceptable, at least the vegetables he cut were quite neat, but maybe a bit too neat, even for slicing potatoes into strips, he insisted that they all be cut into the exact same thickness.
Tang Yuxin guessed that he might have some form of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Being an OCD security officer cum teacher was quite interesting.
As for Gu Ning’s cooking skills, he could merely cook the vegetables until they were edible, but the resulting dishes couldn’t be called delicious.
Tang Yuxin was much better than him in this respect.
Although she didn’t cook much in this life, the dishes she made were tasty enough.
In her previous life, when she married Zhang Yong’an, she was tormented by Zhang Yong’an and his mother.
Though not a professional chef, the food she cooked was genuinely good.
Otherwise, how could Zhang Yong’an and his family let her off the hook?
She had to work and serve Zhang Yong’an’s family, the job of a doctor was tough enough.
Before she divorced Zhang Yong’an, she could only sleep four hours a day, excluding the time she worked night shifts.
Every day, she had to get up before dawn to clean the house, go shopping, and prepare meals for the three members of the Zhang family.
No matter what time she got home, there were always unwashed dishes in the kitchen,
So every time she came home, the first thing she had to do was certainly not rest, but wash the dishes.
She was so numbed by this kind of life, that she almost forgot what normal life was like.
It was only after she divorced Zhang Yong’an that she started living a normal life, although it was still tiring, it was much better.
During her ten-year marriage to Zhang Yong’an, he never once set foot in the kitchen.
How could a phoenix man like him enter the kitchen?
In his mind, kitchen work was a woman’s job.
He wanted a woman who could not only earn money, but also perform household chores, and serve him and his parents as if serving an emperor.
In the end, they divorced because she couldn’t have a baby.
Now thinking about it, Zhang Yong’an might have wanted to divorce her long ago, but what he couldn’t bear to part with was not her, but the loss of a nanny serving him and his family after she left.
If Zhang Yong’an had let her go earlier, she probably wouldn’t hate the Zhang family so much.
However, they morally kidnapped her for her exploitable values, and made her live a life of humiliation.
And this humiliation, she would carry for a lifetime.
Soon, she had finished stirring a plate of vegetables and brought it out.
Gu Ning had already chopped the vegetables, and she was stirring the second plate quickly.
In less than five minutes, each dish was ready.
By the time she took off her apron, there were four dishes and one soup on the table.
The dishes were on the lighter side, after all, it was already evening and they were having dinner.
You can’t eat too much at dinner, so the dishes were light and more vegetable-based, lacking in grand meat and fish dishes.
She even replaced the rice with rice porridge.
“Dinner time,” Tang Yuxin put the chopsticks on Gu Ning’s bowl.
Gu Ning started eating without hesitation, it was obvious that he was truly hungry, not just a little hungry.
Though he was eating fast, he wasn’t gobbling down his food.
But the speed at which he was picking food with his chopsticks did not slow.
Tang Yuxin ate little.
As long as she wasn’t too busy, she would eat her three meals a day on time, so by now she wasn’t particularly hungry.
After a few bites, she put down her chopsticks and watched Gu Ning eat.
Gu Ning lifted his eyes, his eyes were clearly bloodshot.
It was clear that he hadn’t slept for several days.
His work was too exhausting.
But it was because of their hard work that ordinary people like them could live in peace.
Thinking about Gu Ning’s life decades later makes Tang Yuxin hate Zhang Xiaomei even more.
She’d better not run into her again, otherwise, even if it meant becoming a shrew, she wouldn’t let Zhang Xiaomei ruin Gu Ning’s life.
Gu Ning would be better off being a bachelor his whole life than marrying a woman like Zhang Xiaomei.
She took the small bowl and ladled a bowl of soup for Gu Ning, placing it in front of him.
Gu Ning picked up the soup, discarded the spoon, and drank directly from the bowl.
Then he continued to eat, soon finishing almost all the food on the table.
He was indeed hungry.
If Tang Yuxin hadn’t cooked a meal, he might have gone to bed hungry.
Once he finished eating, Gu Ning took the initiative to help Tang Yuxin clear the dishes from the table.
All that talk of gentlemen keeping away from the kitchen and men not entering the kitchen was nonsense.
