632 Cooking Noodles For Chu Yuan
Shi Xi walked downstairs.
Her leg still hurt a little, but compared to her desire to eat popcorn, Shi Xi could still bear with it.
The auntie had retrieved the barbecue rack and was tidying up the kitchen when she saw Shi Xi coming down.
“Auntie, do you have an air fryer and little corn? I want to eat popcorn,” Shi Xi asked.
“Yes, I’ll make it for you now,” the auntie said.
“I’ll do it myself. Help me find the little corn.” Shi Xi’s eyes curved into crescents. “Auntie, do you want to eat?”
The nanny was obviously past the age where she loved to eat snacks. “I’ve already had dinner.”
“Auntie, please rest early. I’ll put the pot away after I’m done,” Shi Xi said.
The nanny saw that Shi Xi’s movements were familiar and felt relieved. “Then I’ll go back and rest.”
“Good night, Auntie.”
“Good night,” she said.
Who didn’t like pretty and cute little girls?
After the fragrant popcorn was taken out of the pot, Shi Xi placed it in a large bowl.
Even though she had eaten barbecue that night, snacks were just snacks.
Shi Xi was about to return to her room with the popcorn when she heard footsteps.
Eh?
Shi Xi tilted her head and saw Chu Yuan.
“Teacher Chu Yuan? What are you looking for, Teacher Chu Yuan?” Shi Xi asked.
“I came out to drink some water.” Chu Yuan looked at the popcorn in Shi Xi’s arms.
“I made the popcorn myself. Teacher Chu Yuan, do you want to have some?” Shi Xi happily shared her snacks.
Chu Yuan shook his head. “No, thank you.”
“I’ll get you some water first,” Shi Xi said as she put down the popcorn.
After finding a cup, Shi Xi poured Chu Yuan a cup of warm water.
Just as she was passing the cup over, Shi Xi heard a series of ‘gulu, gulu, gulu’ sounds.
“What’s that sound?” Shi Xi asked, puzzled.
“What?” Chu Yuan took the cup, looking puzzled.
Shi Xi described, “It’s a ‘gulu, gulu’ sound, like…” the sound of hunger.
Chu Yuan was about to argue, but his stomach growled again.
Shi Xi looked in the direction of the voice and exclaimed in surprise, “You’re hungry?”
“A little,” Chu Yuan said helplessly.
Shi Xi: How is this just a little hungry?
During this period, water entered Chu Yuan’s tent at night. The compressed biscuits he found the day before were also filled with water and could not be eaten.
He had been looking for food for the whole day and met Nan Wan on the way. Chu Yuan gave his food to Nan Wan.
He had not eaten for almost a day, and his tent was also in tatters.
Chu Yuan was thinking about how to get through the day when he saw smoke rising.
He wanted to find a place to stay and ask if he could get some food.
He had not expected to meet Shi Xi.
He had not expected this to be Xie Yunzhou’s villa.
It was already on Shi Xi’s account that he was able to stay.
Chu Yuan did not want to ask Xie Yunzhou for food, so he had been hungry.
Naturally, Shi Xi didn’t know what Chu Yuan had gone through today. When she heard his stomach growling, she said, “Have some popcorn first, I’ll cook you a bowl of noodles.”
“It’s too much trouble for you,” Chu Yuan said.
“It’s just a few minutes, don’t worry.” As Shi Xi spoke, she began to boil water and was ready to cut the tomatoes.
When they were preparing for the barbecue at night, Shi Xi had a rough idea of where the ingredients were.
Chu Yuan stood at the side, drinking water slowly, and asked, “You and Mr. Xie are dating?”
“No, I’m just friends with him.” Shi Xi was cutting the tomatoes.
Chu Yuan thought about how Xie Yunzhou and Shi Xi had interacted.
They really didn’t seem like friends.
They were more like lovers.
What kind of friends would hug each other and even sleep in the same room?
