C26 Sweet Silk
"I didn't! Why should I cry! " Ke Ruyan forced herself to remain calm. She bit down hard on her lower lip, leaving a deep white mark.
She frantically got up from Leng Mingxuan while Ke Ruyan stood motionlessly beside her. At this moment, her heart was in turmoil.
"Please pull me, I can't even move..." Leng Mingxuan hissed as he breathed in. Just now, he really did want to crush Ye Zichen to death. Furthermore, his legs were numb up till now, and he couldn't get up at all.
"Oh." Ke Ruyan reached out to Leng Mingxuan mechanically and pulled him up from the sofa.
Leng Mingxuan jumped as he looked at Ke Ruyan from the corner of his eyes. He was really afraid that this woman would cry. He didn't know how to coax her when the time came.
Fortunately, Ke Ruyan only sniffed and did not let her tears fall. She held her head high and tried to force the tears that were on the verge of flowing out of her eyes back.
Leng Mingxuan couldn't help but think that he didn't expect this woman to be so strong and not cry.
Seeing Leng Mingxuan jumping up and down like a little monkey, Ke Ruyan couldn't help but laugh. Leng Mingxuan's appearance was really funny.
"Here, let me help you back to your room." She stretched out her arm towards Leng Mingxuan. Although her expression was a little unnatural, she clearly wasn't as excited as before. After all, the accident just now was caused by her carelessness and wasn't something Leng Mingxuan created on purpose. She felt a little embarrassed by her previous outburst.
Leng Mingxuan, on the other hand, didn't say anything else. He relied on Ke Ruyan's support and obediently walked towards his room.
After helping Leng Mingxuan to return to his bedroom, she prepared to return to her own room after seeing him lying down. Just as he walked to the door, he was stopped by Leng Mingxuan: "Hey!"
She turned her head and looked at Leng Mingxuan, asking him with her eyes.
"I said, don't come back so late in the future. It's not safe for a girl to stay out at night." Leng Mingxuan said unnaturally. This was something that he had tried his best to say after organizing his thoughts for several minutes. This was also the first time he had said such obvious words of concern to a woman.
"Yes." Ke Ruyan nodded, her voice carrying a hint of a nasal tone. Actually, she could feel Leng Mingxuan's concern for her.
After returning to her bedroom, Ke Ruyan fell into a deep sleep. Today, she had indeed overworked a bit and felt a bit tired, so she urgently needed to rest.
… ….
A dreamless night.
The next day, Ke Ruyan woke up rather late. It was almost nine o'clock when she woke up. Leng Mingxuan didn't call her. Since she didn't need to go to work or anything, he wanted Ke Ruyan to have a good rest. She slept a bit late last night.
"Morning." When Ke Ruyan walked to the bathroom in her cartoon sleepiness, Leng Mingxuan had already turned on the TV on the sofa in the living room. He was looking at the animal world, and the current image was of a fierce lion pouncing on a poor antelope.
He was actually enjoying the bloody scene. Ke Ruyan shuddered as she felt herself wake up in an instant. Indeed, they were not people from the same world. Their interests and tastes were all different.
"Uh, morning. You saw this thing early in the morning, will you still have the appetite to eat later? " She was really curious.
"Of course there is! Don't you think the animal world is beautiful? This was the most real world. Unlike between people, it was filled with lies and hypocrisy. Animals only had the real thing. What a beautiful world this is. " Leng Mingxuan didn't look away from the TV, as if he was afraid that he would miss something.
"That's what you've always thought?" Ke Ruyan did not expect Leng Mingxuan to say such words to her. It was also cold. This was his true inner world.
Leng Mingxuan did not continue this topic. He had already realized what he had said. This could be considered as giving a deeper understanding, so it was not good.
"I'm so hungry. What's for breakfast this morning?" He purposely changed the topic. It was very stiff, which made Ke Ruyan feel awkward.
"How about some wontons?" Ke Ruyan glanced in the direction of the kitchen. She remembered that she had specifically bought some meat stuffing and wontons peels yesterday in order to wrap them for today.
Leng Mingxuan stared at her: "You also know how to do this?"
"Of course, I know more than that!" Ke Ruyan had always been proud of her culinary skills. A girl at her age would claim to be proficient in cooking even if she only knew how to cook tomato and scrambled eggs. As for her, she was the one who knew how to cook. This was all thanks to Mammy Ke.
"Oh, you're out of breath for being fat!" "Then I will wait to taste the wontons of love that you have personally wrapped." "Leng Mingxuan's eyes lit up. He had seen Mammy Ke's cooking skills before, it seems like this woman's cooking skills weren't bad either.
Ke Ruyan didn't say much, she just turned around and walked into the kitchen. She took wontons and meat stuffing out of the fridge and got ready.
Soon, thirty wontons were wrapped up. Looking at the round wontons, she revealed a satisfied smile. Fortunately, her cooking skills had not declined.
After the wonton was served, Ke Ruyan served Leng Mingxuan a big bowl. Her own bowl was a small one, decorated with a little bit of seaweed, coriander, and a few drops of sesame oil.
Just as she brought out the wontons, Leng Mingxuan smelled a fragrant aroma. He couldn't help but sniff; he really wanted to sniff out this appetizing fragrance.
Actually, there were a lot of delicious and expensive dishes that a sharp person like Leng Mingxuan had eaten before. However, right now, he only felt that the wontons brought out by Ke Ruyan were very, very fragrant.
"So fast!"
He was smiling very comfortably because he would soon be able to eat this delicious little wonton.
Ke Ruyanao walked over with her head held high and held the bowl in front of Leng Mingxuan, "Hurry up and eat. With this lady's culinary skills, I'll make sure you'll want to eat even after I'm done!"
"Then I won't be polite!" With that, Leng Mingxuan picked up the bowl and started to eat, regardless of how hot the wontons were that had just come out of the wok.
Sure enough, the moment he put the wonton into his mouth, it was so hot that he couldn't even breathe. He couldn't swallow it or spit it out.
Ke Ruyan couldn't help but laugh when she saw Leng Mingxuan in such a sorry state. She hurriedly poured a cup of water for him and said, "Hurry up and spit it out and rinse your mouth. Don't burn it up again!"
Leng Mingxuan shook his head as he wolfed down the wonton. Then, he picked up the blanket and started to drink.
"I was about to be burned to death just now!" His upper jaw had been scalded to the point of peeling.
Ke Ruyan looked at Leng Mingxuan, who kept spitting his tongue out. She couldn't help but scold him, "Why not spit it out? It's so hot. You must swallow it!"
Seeing how Leng Mingxuan loved to eat things that he cooked, Ke Ruyan felt a sweet feeling in her heart, just like last night's cocktail, Scholar Lan. Miss Temple was ordinary.
