Xia An 'an went to the kitchen and found a tomato and two eggs. She boiled the tomatoes in water for a while before cutting them thin. Then, she stir-fried them in a wok of oil to squeeze out the juices. She then added the beaten eggs. After the eggs were fried until they were slightly yellow, she put the lid on the wok and waited for the water to boil.
Within a few minutes, a bowl of piping hot tomato and egg noodles was ready. She added some sesame oil to enhance the fragrance and sprinkled some chopped green onions to enhance the color. Xia An 'an carefully placed the bowl on the plate and brought it over to Si Lijue.
Just as she walked to the door, she realized that it was slightly ajar. This way, she didn't have to open the door. Si Lijue's study door was usually closed, but today, there was an extra gap. This was Si Lijue's thoughtfulness.
He didn't like to do things out loud. If he liked you, he would silently do things for you.
Xia An 'an really liked this trait of Si Lijue.
She walked in and placed the tomato and egg noodles in front of Si Lijue. "Sir, you can eat now."
Si Lijue was still looking at the documents. "Mm, leave it there first."
Xia An said, "It's better to eat the noodles while they're hot. Otherwise, they'll burn later."
Si Lijue looked up at her, then put down the documents. He brought the bowl to himself and began to eat.
Si Lijue ate very quickly. She didn't know if it was because he was hungry, but he even finished the soup. For a chef, finishing the food clean was the greatest compliment. Xia An 'an didn't say anything and just took the bowl and chopsticks away.
Si Lijue said, "Leave these to others. You should go to bed early."
Xia An 'an nodded. "It's not much. It'll take a long time."
Just as she walked to the door, Si Lijue said, "The noodles taste good."
Xia An 'an felt a warm current flow through her heart. She instinctively said, "If Sir likes it, I'll make it for you every day."
She regretted it as soon as she said it.
Previously at the hospital, she had clearly said that these things would be handed over to Si Lijue's wife in the future. The atmosphere just now was so good and harmonious that she had actually forgotten. Xia Anan was afraid that Si Lijue would misunderstand and was about to explain when Si Lijue responded.
"Sure."
Xia An 'an was stunned.
Si Lijue looked at her and said, "You said it yourself. You'll cook for me every day."
Xia An 'an's heart skipped a beat. She was confused. Had Si Lijue forgotten what she had said to him at the hospital?
"Anything else?"
Si Lijue asked when he saw that Xia An 'an was still standing there.
Xia An 'an suddenly came back to her senses. She shook her head and said, "No, nothing …"
After saying that, he hurriedly left. She quickly walked towards the kitchen, her face burning. Indeed, she was still not used to being alone with Si Lijue. It was not good to like someone too much. Just a simple sentence from him could make her heart race. Xia An 'an felt that her face must have turned red. If she had left a little later, Si Lijue would have …
Li Jue would probably notice the change in her.
Fortunately, she left.
Xia An 'an was glad that she had less contact with Si Lijue at night in the future.
As for what Si Lijue had said just now, Xia An 'an didn't take it too seriously. After all, Si Lijue was a busy man. He had to entertain clients every day. The number of times he came home was few and far between. The number of times he could eat the food she cooked was also pitifully small.
It was impossible to eat it every day.
Xia An 'an quickly adjusted her heartbeat and calmed herself down.
She went to the kitchen to wash the dishes and went back to sleep.
Tonight was just a coincidence.
It was a coincidence.
At first, that was what Xia An 'an thought.
But Si Lijue used his actions to tell her that he was a man of his words.
Si Lijue started to come home early every night.
The next night, Xia An 'an was a little surprised to see Si Lijue come home so early. Si Lijue saw her surprised face and said lightly, "What's wrong? You don't look very happy. "
Xia Anan immediately turned her head into a rattle-drum and said, "No! Sir, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you. "
"Just anything will do. It's not too troublesome."
"Oh."
One had to know that for a cook, the most difficult thing was to make something casual.
Because she couldn't figure out what the other party's taste was.
But Xia An 'an knew Si Lijue's eating habits very well. He often ate outside, so he must be tired of eating big fish and big meat. It would be better to make something light for his stomach.
Xia An 'an made a seafood soup for Si Lijue. Then, she paired it with two light side dishes, one meat and one vegetable.
When it was served.
Si Lijue said, "Let's eat together."
Xia An 'an instinctively wanted to refuse, but Si Lijue said, "Do you want your salary to be deducted?"
Xia An 'an immediately sat down.
Si Lijue saw Xia An 'an's reaction and the corners of his lips curved up imperceptibly. It was as if he had found a key point.
The two of them ate in silence. Si Lijue wasn't a person who liked to talk. Xia An 'an didn't know what to say to Si Lijue. The air was very quiet. She could even hear the sound of chewing. As expected, Si Lijue finished all the food Xia An' an made.
"It's delicious."
Si Lijue said after he finished eating.
Every time he finished eating, Si Lijue would say this, which affirmed Xia An 'an's hard work. A smile appeared on Xia An' an's face. She said, "As long as Sir likes it."
Si Lijue looked at her and replied softly.
"Mm."
For a few days, Si Lijue went home for dinner.
The two of them didn't mention anything about what happened at the hospital.
He Nianchu also didn't come over much recently. She seemed to be busy with the project. Without He Nianchu, Xia An 'an and Si Lijue's relationship returned to normal. Xia An' an wished more than once that they could spend more time like this, just a little longer …
However, life was never smooth sailing.
The more you looked forward to something, the more you didn't get what you wanted.
He Nianchu came again.
She seemed to be in a good mood this time. She must have settled the matter and had a smile on her face.
She invited Si Lijue to the racecourse and also invited Xia An 'an.
Xia An 'an knew that she probably had some plan that required her cooperation. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked her to be the third wheel.
Si Lijue asked her, "Do you want to go?"
Xia An 'an looked at He Nianchu's warning gaze and said to Si Lijue, "Sure, it's my first time going to the racecourse. It's good to broaden my horizons."
Xia An 'an's reply made Si Lijue's mood very good. He said, "Then let's go to the racecourse today."
Xia An 'an smiled knowingly. "Mm."
He Nianchu's gaze moved back and forth between the two of them. His expression was uncertain.
When they arrived at the racecourse, He Nianchu said to Si Lijue, "Ah Jue, I heard that you're very good at choosing horses. Help me and An 'an choose a horse."
"Sure."
Si Lijue walked to Xia An 'an and said, "You stay here obediently. I'll come over after I choose a horse."
Xia An 'an nodded. "I understand, Sir."
"Mm."
After Si Lijue left, He Nianchu walked to Xia An 'an. She looked unhappy and asked somewhat angrily, "Xia An' an, don't tell me you've already forgotten what I said?"
Xia An looked at her and asked, "What do you mean?"
He Nianchu sneered. "You don't know what I mean?"
"Sorry, I don't want to play riddles with you."
