Chapter 636: Chapter 636: I’m Going to Eat Your Share

Lin Xinlan woke up again, and it was already late morning.

The place beside her was empty, but it still retained some warmth, indicating that Rong Shaoze hadn’t been gone for long.

She got up, walked out of the room, and descended the stairs of this unfamiliar villa, taking it all in.

As she came down the stairs, she smelled a strong, delicious scent, which suddenly made her stomach growl with hunger; she swallowed and followed the aroma to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Rong Shaoze was wearing black pants and a crisp white shirt with gray fuzzy slippers on his feet, standing in front of the stove cooking.

His shirt was casually worn, its long hem fluttering lightly with his movements. The sunlight streaming in through the window bathed him in a clean, almost ethereal glow, as if he were a handsome scholar gracing the mundane world.

Before Lin Xinlan had a chance to approach, he turned his head; his eyes, dark and luminous, met hers, and his thin lips curved into a beautiful arc.

"You woke up just in time, the food is almost ready," he said.

"What did you make?" Lin Xinlan asked curiously.

Moving closer, she saw that he expertly fried two sunny-side-up eggs, and with a wooden spoon, he quickly shaped the yolks into hearts.

His movements were so practiced, his technique very good.

The eggs were fried just right, with the egg whites forming a white disc around the golden heart-shaped yolks, enticing not only the eyes but also the appetite.

A flash of amazement flitted across Lin Xinlan’s face.

Rong Shaoze raised an eyebrow, a hint of pride twinkling in his eye.

In another pot, noodles were boiling, now perfectly cooked.

He fetched two large bowls, filled them with the noodles, ladled on the simmered bone broth, added some stir-fried vegetables and spices, and then placed the two heart-shaped eggs on top, instantly completing two steaming bowls of noodles.

"It smells so good!" Lin Xinlan commented, nearly drooling.

With a bowl in hand, Rong Shaoze motioned with his lips, "Come on, let’s eat outside."

Sitting down at the dining table, he placed one of the bowls in front of her, and she began to eat eagerly.

"Rong Shaoze, your cooking skills are really great! This is delicious!" she said while eating, not forgetting to compliment him.

Seeing that he only stared at her with a smile and didn’t start eating, she quickly urged him, "Eat up, it won’t be good once it gets cold."

"Does it taste good?" he asked with a smile.

Lin Xinlan replied cheerfully, "Yummy."

"Let me try."

"Eat your own," she said.

"I want to eat yours," he insisted.

Lin Xinlan was speechless but still happily picked up some noodles to feed him, and after tasting, he agreed it was delicious.

Then he grabbed his own chopsticks, picked up some of his noodles to feed Lin Xinlan, and insisted that she feed him from her bowl.

"This way of eating is so awkward," Lin Xinlan laughed, not understanding why they had to eat from each other’s bowls when they could have eaten their own.

However, Rong Shaoze thought it was perfect. He was determined to eat from hers and insisted that she tasted his.

And so, they fed each other, one bite at a time, looking quite childish.

Luckily, there was nobody else in the villa to witness this, otherwise, they would probably die laughing.

After eating, Lin Xinlan took the initiative to wash the dishes, claiming that labor should be evenly distributed.

But Rong Shaoze also helped with the dishes, staying close together in everything they did throughout the day.

It wasn’t until the evening that Lin Xinlan suddenly remembered she hadn’t called Xiaocong.

Rong Shaoze said he had already informed the family they were safe and that they would start their journey back home tomorrow.

"I should still call Xiaocong," she insisted.

Without talking to her son on the phone, she felt uneasy, and she guessed Xiaocong probably missed speaking with her as well.
