After washing his hands, he began preparing breakfast for her.
Even though she was the only one eating, he still made a sumptuous meal. From the soft porridge to the refreshing side dishes, to steamed eggs, pancakes, and soy milk, everything was her favorite.
The porridge was simmered over a small fire, so it took a long time to cook. By the time Xia Shangzhou lifted the lid for the fifth time and saw that the porridge was almost done, he was just about to turn off the fire when he noticed a figure standing at the entrance of the kitchen from the corner of his eye.
His hands trembled in fright, and he nearly dropped the lid on the floor. When he finally calmed himself down, he turned his gaze over and saw that it was Lin Jiayi, who had woken up at some point in time.
She was wrapped in a sleeping robe, and she exuded a lazy aura. Meeting his gaze, she greeted him with a "Morning" before covering her mouth and yawning.
Xia Shangzhou stared at Lin Jiayi's face for a moment, but he couldn't tell when she had come over. So, he replied, "Morning …"
Then, he lowered his head to take a look at the time. It was just 7: 20 am, about an hour before she woke up. So, he asked, "Boss Lin, why are you awake so early?"
In truth, her sleep quality was quite good. Usually, the moment she closed her eyes, she would wake up naturally. Perhaps it was because she had drunk a large cup of brown sugar water before she slept, but she felt like heading to the washroom early in the morning. By the time she returned to her bed in a daze, she collapsed onto the bed and closed her eyes. But before she could fall asleep, she heard the sound of the door.
At first, she couldn't wrap her head around it. She lay on the bed, half asleep, half asleep. Then she remembered that before she fell asleep last night, he was at her house... Could it be that the sound of the door just now was the sound of him leaving?
As this thought flashed across Lin Jiayi's mind, she immediately woke up.
She subconsciously pulled off the blanket, leaped off the bed, and ran out of the bedroom.
What entered her sight was a clean and tidy living room, as well as an empty room.
She had lived in a huge house ever since she was young, and she liked spacious environments. But at that moment, standing in her own house, she suddenly felt a little lonely.
She was in a daze for a long time before she returned to the bedroom. When she sat on the bed in a daze, she heard the door open again.
Other than him, only Lin Jiage, Shi Yao, and Auntie Lin knew the password to her house … Auntie Lin shouldn't be at work at this hour, and Lin Jiage and Shi Yao couldn't possibly be here either … Could he have returned?
She was afraid that she was imagining things. She was also afraid that when she saw the huge living room, the strong sense of loneliness would sweep over her again, so she sat on the bed and didn't move.
After a while, she heard some light and heavy noises coming from outside. That was when she was sure he was back. Curious as to what he was doing, she opened the door and walked out. Then, through the glass door, she saw him taking out one thing after another from the bag and stuffing it into the fridge.
So, he went out just now … to buy something for her?
Come to think of it, it seemed like when he was her assistant, whenever she opened the fridge, she could find her favorite food and drinks … Unlike now, every time she was hungry, she could open the fridge and find yogurt and herbal tea, and yogurt and herbal tea …
She didn't make a sound to disturb him, and he didn't notice that she was awake. After filling up her fridge, he went into the kitchen and started working.
