C62 (1/2)
Su Nuan slept all the way until midnight, and started to sweat all over. Other than his throat which was a little uncomfortable, the other symptoms had disappeared.
She pulled back the covers and sat up, rubbing her eyes.
It was quiet in the house. The lights were on and it was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers.
”You're awake?”
A voice suddenly sounded.
Su Nuan was shocked, ”Mr. Huo?”
Pow!
The place where Huo Yanshen sat was very close to the light switch. He casually pressed it for a bit, and his sleepy eyes instantly returned to normal.
After Su Nuan adapted to the light, she stared at him in shock, ”You have been at my house the entire time, where is Two Small Ones?”
”They're sleeping. They're safe. I'll go take a look in half an hour.”
Su Nuan 'oh', suddenly he did not know what to say.
She didn't know what to say, but her stomach knew.
”Hungry?”
Su Nuan instinctively covered his stomach. ”It's fine, I'll eat in the morning.”
”I left some porridge for you. I'll go heat it up while you go wash.” After Huo Yanshen finished speaking, without waiting for Su Nuan to say anything, he grabbed the porridge on the table and headed to the kitchen.
”Mr. Huo, there's no need to go through so much trouble.
Huo Yanshen paused in his steps, ”Call me by my name.”
”Huh?” She had always called him Mr. Huo, but he had never objected to it!
”Choose one yourself, Huo Yanshen or Yanshen.”
Su Nuan pursed his lips. He didn't know if he was mistaken, it hadn't even been a night, but Huo Yanshen seemed to have changed somehow …
She was sweating, and it was hard.
While Huo Yanshen was pouring hot porridge in the kitchen, Su Nuan went to the bathroom to take a bath and change his clothes.
The moment she opened the bathroom door, a pungent smell of burnt flesh hit her face. Her body trembled as she rushed towards the kitchen.
Huo Yanshen stood in front of the stove. The gas had already been turned off, but the pot in front of him was still releasing a thick smoke.
”Mr. Huo, what did you do?”
Huo Yanshen looked at Su Nuan innocently, ”I'll pour the porridge in and heat it up, then …”
”Did you stir it?”
”Nope.”
”…”
Su Nuan swallowed his saliva, telling himself to remain calm.
”I can't drink the porridge anymore.” This was the first time Huo Yanshen felt defeated.
”The kitchen is fine, but it's also my fault. I didn't remind you to stir it up.” Su Nuan put on the insulating gloves and carried the pot to the sink. After pouring the water into the pot to cool it, he started to clean the porridge.
When she saw the black substance at the bottom of the pot, she resisted the urge to jump and turned to look at Huo Yanshen with a smile that was not really a smile, ”Not only is the porridge not edible, I can't even use this pot of mine.”
”I'll buy a new one tomorrow.”
”Forget it, there are still other pots at home. You are doing this for my own good.”
”I'll cook the noodles for you.”
”Don't.” Su Nuan hurriedly opened his mouth to stop Huo Yanshen from thinking further, ”Let me do it.”
Seeing the clear words' Don't hurt my family's kitchen 'on Su Nuan's face, Huo Yanshen's face darkened.
Su Nuan forced a smile, ”When you finish your apprenticeship, make me noodles, I think highly of you.”
Hearing that, Huo Yanshen's face started to relax.
Su Nuan cooked two bowls of noodles and gave one bowl to Huo Yanshen.
Huo Yanshen was not hungry in the first place, but the noodles Su Nuan cooked seemed to have carried some sort of magic, allowing him to break the law of not eating midnight snacks.
”Right, my reputation on the internet isn't good now. If today's incident at the kindergarten were to spread, I'm afraid …”
”Don't worry, they wouldn't dare.”
”That's true. With a buddhist power like yours, I won't worry about it.”
”There's a broadcast for Friday's broadcast. What are your plans?”
The topic changed a little too quickly. Su Nuan was startled for a moment before reacting, ”I have a rough idea as to what the reporters will ask about the matter of sleeping with me. Can you do me a favor?”
”Hmm?”
”In the room that Fang Yuan and I stayed in that day, there was a camera on the other side. Can you help me get hold of the surveillance camera from that day? It would be best if the picture and sound could come out. ”
”Yes.”
”As long as this evidence is in our hands, those rumors on the internet will automatically disintegrate.”
”I will go out for an investigation tomorrow. Is your body alright?”
”It's really done.” Su Nuan quickly nodded.
”Yes.”
”Mr. Huo, what I talked to you about yesterday, did you think …”
Hearing Su Nuan bring up this topic, the color in Huo Yanshen's eyes deepened. He put down his chopsticks, opened his lips and said, ”Undeniably, we had a night.”
”It was an accident.”
”I'm a man, so I have the primary responsibility.”
”No need.”
”You know better than me about Xiao Nuomi's situation.”
This time, Su Nuan did not speak.
”Although you do not need me to take responsibility, I have my principles. I can play the role of father and give the Two Small Ones a sense of security until you teach me cooking.”
Su Nuan stared at Huo Yanshen in doubt, but he still did not speak.
”The condition of the Xiao Xiaqiu is gradually improving. Xiao Nuomi still needs more fatherly love and warmth, I am unable to make you accept the fact that I am responsible for you, but it is an indisputable fact that I am able to make the Two Small Ones more and more happy.”
Su Nuan bit her lower lip, as she agreed with Huo Yanshen's words.
