Chapter 775 - I’m Cooking to Feed You (1/2)

Seeing the ridicule in his eyes, the tiny bit of gratitude Leng Zhiyuan had felt disappeared completely. She thought that he was actually a considerate person, but now it seemed that he was still as vile.

He was out to embarrass her.

“I’m hungry, so what?” She glared back.

“You’re hungry, and I’ve given you the ingredients, but it seems that you can’t even fill your own stomach. Young Lady Leng, let’s see, what else can you do besides fight?” Zhou Yao stood tall on his long legs, his big hands with distinct joints rolling up his sleeves neatly.

“You!” Leng Zhiyuan was very angry. Maybe the next second she’d rush up and wring his neck.

Just then, Zhou Yao moved. The 1.9 meter tall man squatted down in front of her and picked up the pot, then picked up the broom and swept up all the dirt into the trash can. He cleaned the floor with a mop after that. Soon, the floor tiles that she had dirtied became clean and shiny again.

Leng Zhiyuan was shocked. She didn’t expect that a man like him would know how to do housework. She stepped back a little as the man walked towards the vegetable basket in the living room. “What would you like for dinner, Mrs. Zhou?”

She didn’t answer. He looked down at the basket and picked out two tomatoes and two eggs, grabbed some noodles, and went to the kitchen.

Leng Zhiyuan saw him scrub the pot clean and put in cold water to boil on a big fire, then he took out two big bowls and began to mix ingredients, after which he beat the eggs in the bowl evenly with chopsticks in an orderly manner.

“You… What are you doing?”

Zhou Yao turned to look at her. He smiled. The yellow light in the evening made his resolute facial features look gentler. “Can’t you tell? Didn’t you want to eat noodles? I’m cooking.”

He turned around and smiled as he said to himself, “Sigh, are other men suffering like me? After completing a whole day’s worth of tasks, they have to cook for their wives when they come home.”

Leng Zhiyuan felt her ears burn. He was starting to behave inappropriately again.

Sometimes, she felt that he was a man with many faces, playing hooligan at one moment, being serious at another, then being sloppy. She didn’t know which one was the real him.

She averted her gaze from his handsome back view. “Hmph!” She turned her face away.

Zhou Yao put the noodles into the bowl with the mixed seasoning, then washed the pot. He began to stir fry the tomato and eggs, and soon, Leng Zhiyuan was enveloped in its fragrance.

She could not help but secretly take a look at it. He mixed the scrambled tomatoes and eggs into the noodles, and the noodles became full of color, fragrance and flavor.

She uncontrollably swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Zhou Yao put the two bowls on his palm and walked towards the dining table. When he passed her, he looked at the awkward expression on her little face. He laughingly said, “What are you doing standing there? Go get the chopsticks.”

Leng Zhiyuan did not plan to take them, but she was really hungry. Besides, it would be so hypocritical of her when he wasn’t even taking it seriously and had just been making fun of her all along.

She went to get two pairs of chopsticks, then calmly sat down opposite him. He did not talk anymore, so she began to eat her noodles. His cooking was really good. This bowl of noodles was the best she had ever eaten. At that time, she always believed that it was because she was too hungry.

Zhou Yao soon finished eating. He got up and went to the bedroom. Leng Zhiyuan looked up at his bowl. It was empty. He had eaten it all.

Soldiers would not waste food.

Leng Zhiyuan got up to clean up the dishes after eating. Although it was her first time washing dishes, she did not want to leave them for him to wash and then listen to his taunts afterwards. Compared to her self-esteem, she was more willing to wash the dishes.

She clumsily washed the two bowls, and the moment she walked out the kitchen door, she heard the pitter patter of the shower in the bathroom come to a stop. The door opened, and Zhou Yao, wearing a black singlet, walked out dripping wet.

He had washed up.
