Back when he was in the first general surgery department, he had been called in for surgery in the middle of the night and had taken a taxi back to his rented apartment. Occasionally, he would cook a bowl of instant noodles and sleep after eating it.
Zheng Ren recalled the loneliness and coldness of that time. Now that someone was thinking about him, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Instant noodles, then." He accidentally revealed his thoughts.
The moment he said it, he regretted it.
The story that Su Yun had told him circled in his mind like a crow.
Xie Yiren was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, let me tell you, I'm very good at cooking instant noodles."
Huh? Zheng Ren was stunned.
Was that even possible?
Xie Yiren started the engine, shifted gears, and slowly drove out of the underground garage of Sea City General Hospital.
In less than three minutes, they arrived at the villa area.
Xie Yiren drove the car directly into the garage and they got out, entering the house through the garage's inner door.
Before this, Zheng Ren did not know that there was a door in the garage that led directly into the house.
"What flavor do you want?" Xie Yiren hung up her coat and asked with a smile. She had already put on an eager posture and was ready to go straight to the kitchen.
Zheng Ren was a little confused. He had only eaten one flavor of instant noodles, or rather, only one flavor — braised beef noodles.
There were other flavors. Zheng Ren had never gone to the mall before and would only buy instant noodles from the mini-mart downstairs.
He knew there were other flavors of instant noodles. However, if Zheng Ren were to really ask him what the specific flavors were, he would not be able to answer.
Xie Yiren saw that Zheng Ren did not speak and went straight to the kitchen, humming a lively song.
"Sit anywhere you want. The water is in the fridge, come and get it yourself," Xie Yiren said. "Is there anything you don't eat?"
"No, anything is fine." Zheng Ren looked at Xie Yiren's slender back, almost stuttering.
"Okay, I'll make anything." Xie Yiren put on an apron and instantly turned into a kitchen maid. She opened the fridge and began to search for ingredients.
Soon, Xie Yiren took out a lot of things and put them aside.
Seaweed, eggs, red sausages, various small ingredients, and a few exquisite pickles.
Zheng Ren did not know that there were so many things to cook instant noodles. Sometimes, rough men would even forget to add soy sauce when cooking noodles.
There was a small fridge beside the sofa.
Zheng Ren opened it, took out a bottle of purified water, and took a sip.
He hadn't eaten or drunk anything for seven to eight hours. Now that he was relaxed, he started to feel hungry.
Zheng Ren felt better after gulping down half a bottle of water.
Seeing Xie Yiren busy inside, Zheng Ren wanted to help. In the end, just like in the operating room, Xie Yiren pushed him out with a smile.
The feeling of being a big boss … wasn't good. It was really unnerving.
Ten minutes later, a delicious smell wafted from the kitchen. The taste was faint, but it successfully made his stomach growl.
How fragrant!
So hungry.
A few minutes later, Xie Yiren returned with a big bowl in her hands.
On the dining table, a big white porcelain bowl was filled with noodles. The original appearance of the instant noodles could no longer be seen, and a variety of side dishes were spread on top.
"This is Bing City's red sausage. I don't like children's sausage. There's no fat, and it lacks texture," Xie Yiren said.
"You're not eating?"
"I've already eaten. I was afraid that you would be hungry, so I asked if you wanted to have a bite."
"What did you eat?" Zheng Ren asked as he picked up a red sausage with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
The texture was amazing.
"I went to Xiaolongkan with Sister Yanran. There's a new restaurant here. I tried it today, and the taste is quite authentic, but the toppings are a bit average. But it's good enough to be able to eat Xiaolongkan at home, "Xie Yiren said.
Come to think of it, it must have been when he went to the traffic police station.
"Right, when I looked for you, Chang Yue said you went to the traffic police station. Sister Yanran called a few times, saying that you might be in trouble, and she asked her family to help you solve it, "Xie Yiren said with a satisfied smile as she watched Zheng Ren eat happily.
Oh? Was it someone Chu Yanran asked?
Zheng Ren thought about it. He could not understand it, so it was better to put it aside for now. Tomorrow, it would be more direct to ask her when they met up.
"Eat slowly, it's hot." Seeing Zheng Ren slurping the noodles, Xie Yiren kept asking him to slow down.
It was a very ordinary, even a little crude, meal, but Zheng Ren tasted a strange taste of home.
After eating, before Zheng Ren could clean up, Xie Yiren diligently picked up the bowls and chopsticks and began to clean up.
He did not expect a bowl of instant noodles to be so troublesome … Zheng Ren was a little embarrassed.
"Zheng Ren, go back to sleep if you're full. You still have work tomorrow." Xie Yiren's voice came from the kitchen.
Zheng Ren hesitated.
If he were to leave after eating and drinking, would he look like a scumbag?
However, Xie Yiren was busy now. If he were to touch her, it would seem even more like a scumbag.
What should he say now?
Zheng Ren was so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and sideburns.
This was really … difficult.
Seeing that Zheng Ren did not respond, Xie Yiren leaned back, her body drawing a beautiful arc.
"Hey, what are you doing? You didn't fall asleep, did you? "
"No … I was thinking, should I help … do something for you?" Zheng Ren stuttered.
There were not many bowls and chopsticks, and Xie Yiren was already done.
She took off her pink gloves and walked out with a smile. She came in front of Zheng Ren, her knees slightly bent, her face level with Zheng Ren's.
So close, so nervous. Zheng Ren's mind was blank.
"Be good, go back and rest." Xie Yiren was a little shy. He did not know if it was because she was too close or because she was thinking about something. "You've been busy all day. Go back and take a bath before you sleep."
After saying that, Xie Yiren's face turned red and she quickly ran away to bring Zheng Ren's coat.
Zheng Ren was embarrassed to stay. He took the coat and walked to the entrance, looking back three times with each step.
After changing his shoes, Zheng Ren still did not want to leave.
How good would it be to have a warm jade in his arms? Why did he want to go back?
"Hey." Xie Yiren's voice came from behind Zheng Ren.
Zheng Ren's heart suddenly trembled. He had just turned around, but before he could do so, a delicate figure pounced on him.
"You hugged me like this yesterday, so I'm going to hug you back today," Xie Yiren buried her head in Zheng Ren's back and said shyly.
It felt … really good.
Unfortunately, it was all too brief.
Zheng Ren's mind instantly went blank. After an unknown amount of time, he was pushed out by Xie Yiren.
The feeling just now seemed to be remembered for a lifetime.
Zheng Ren returned to the villa in a daze, his mind still blank. It was different from the calm and capable person during the surgery. This kind of sweet nervousness was extremely unfamiliar to Zheng Ren.
Sleep early tonight and remember to take a bath. Xie Yiren's >
Okay. You rest early too. I'm going to take a bath. Smiley face
Zheng Ren was still immersed in the momentary tenderness from before, unable to extricate himself.
