Chapter 194 - You look awful (1/2)

Ryn entered the small cottage and hugged her body.

”You look awful, ” he commented, eyeing her drooped body.

”It was a long journey, ” she commented.

He snorted. He knew if he showed his worry, she would feel worst. It was better for him to stoke her anger to make her more 'alive'.

She dropped her bag on the floor and sat on the small rattan chair. He took the seat next to her, still that playful smile curling on his tanned face.

”I'm hungry. What do you have?” she looked at him with her eyes half-closed? She was beyond exhaustion.

”Are you sure you want to eat?” he asked, taking the chance to knock her head lightly before walked to the small kitchen connected to the area. In fact, there was no exact room for the kitchen. The whole house only has a bedroom and one bathroom. The open space in the house was divided into a small living room and a kitchen with a bar counter.

The living room only has four small rattan chairs, instead of a leather sofa. A small round coffee table was placed between two chairs. A small rattan cupboard to place a cute small red television but there was no aerial connected to it. The occupants only use it to watch DVD or play games.

Want to know the latest news of what happening to the world? Everyone went to the real bar to do so.

The kitchen, on the other hand, only has a small stove with no oven. There was a small refrigerator, enough for a person or two. Of course, he, knowing she would come to spend a few days here, has filled the refrigerator with his favourite fishes, crabs and prawns. He also managed to get oysters. There was a small blender, four plates and two bowls and enough cutleries made by woods.

”I'm starving. I haven't had the time for meals except for a bottle of water for the whole journey.” She rubbed her head with a scowl.

”I'll make sashimi,”  he took out a huge fish from the refrigerator and reached for the sharp knife.

She took off her cap and let her hair free. The sweat made her head itchy. Without thinking she stood up and walked to the bathroom.

When he returned to the living room area with a plate of sashimi and a small saucer of sauce to dip in, she was still in the bathroom, struggling to wash her hair without wetting her clothes. She was so lazy to have a shower.

”What are you doing inside?” he shouted when he heard noises coming from the bathroom. He laughed when she groaning something loudly.

She finally came out with her head wrapped in a towel.

”You should cut your hair, ” he commented seeing her flushed face.

”Dreadlock demon, shut up,” she muttered with a glare.

He laughed, holding his stomach, seeing her like this. It was funny.

”You did wash your hands before you start making that?” she asked with a suspicious look at the plate.

”Shouldn't you ask before I start working on it?” he asked.

She stuck her tongue out to him. Then, she sat on the chair she sat previously and took the chopsticks. Instead of leaning forward and taking one by one, she took the whole plate and leaned back comfortably on the chair. She started stuffing her mouth with the fish.

He smiled watching her. He knew she wanted more food but he thought as it was already late and she was still tired from the journey, he should feed her with something light.

It took her no time to demolish the whole plate.

He brought the empty plate to the kitchen and washed it cleanly. Ryn leaned against the chair and let out a satisfied burp.

”Tomorrow I will bring you snorkelling,” he told her.
