Chapter 8 - Do You Want to Have Some Or Not? (1)
Huo YanXiao hadn’t planned on going downstairs, but Nie AnAn had just interrupted his work and mentioned food . He actually felt a little hungry after she left .
He was never in the habit of snacking after dinner, so he just planned on getting himself a glass of water .
It so happened that the water machine upstairs was out of water, so he went downstairs for the other one .
Once he walked down the stairs, he immediately smelled the aroma of delectable food .
It wasn’t the usual pungent smell of Nie AnAn’s instant noodles, but something that smelled closer to dishes made by a top notched executive chef .
He felt a bit suspicious, so he took a few steps toward the dining room after he got his water .
Nie AnAn had her back to him and had no idea that he was looking at her .
From what he could see, she was sitting there enjoying her dinner elegantly as the aroma of her food filled every cell in his nose .
So she went out earlier and brought food home?
Huo YanXiao turned expressionless and went back upstairs without saying anything .
Except that, after he went back to his study and sat back down, he seemed to still be able to smell the food in his nose . Even after he had his entire glass of water, he still felt hungry!
Huo YanXiao pressed his temples a bit and forced himself to refocus back on his documents .
Downstairs, Nie AnAn had a good meal, picked up her dishes, did some simple exercise to help with digestion, and went back to her bedroom .
It had been a long day for her . She fell asleep quickly after she collapsed on the bed .
In the middle of the night, Huo YanXiao finally left his study, took a quick shower, and read some news on his phone as he waited for his hair to dry .
The ads on the news were based on his usual interest . As he scrolled down the screen, he noticed one of the ads .
It was probably an ad for some brand of salad dressings, but the food in the pictures looked very sumptuous and he couldn’t help but salivate .
Then, he remembered the food that Nie AnAn was eating earlier .
He was already heading downstairs before he noticed what he was doing . He walked all the way into the kitchen and opened up the refrigerator .
The few dishes that Nie AnAn was eating out of earlier were still in the refrigerator . In addition, there were also vegetables, fruits, and meats .
Huo YanXiao was a little stunned, and he noticed the condiments placed on the top of the kitchen counter . They were arranged in order of height, from high to low, like grade school kids standing in a line .
His irises darkened . He pulled out all three dishes and placed them into the microwave one by one .
Soon, they were all heated up, and their aroma filled the air .
He picked up his chopstick and tried a prawn first .
Its taste exploded in his mouth: smooth, crunchy, and tender all at the same time . Huo YanXiao was truly surprised .
Then, with the mentality of sampling the food, he tried the other two dishes .
They didn’t taste any worse than food from a Michelin-rated restaurant .
Huo YanXiao scooped himself a bowl of rice . It was already cold, but perfect after he added in the boiling winter melon soup .
Sitting in front of the dining table, he elegantly wiped out all the food .
