Jiang Shixu woke up groggy from those nightmares filled with blood and darkness.
The two sleeping pills he took in the evening gave him a splitting headache.
He frowned, covered his face that was so painful that it was bloodless, and got up from the bed.
There was no inch of sunlight by the window, and the whole room was eerily quiet and dark.
Just like the endless empty world in his dream.
After changing out of his pajamas soaked in cold sweat, Jiang Shixu picked up the alarm clock next to the bed.
The hour hand has just reached one o'clock.
The boy's expression became even more numb.
It took two sleeping pills to let him sleep for more than five hours.
What’s behind?
Do I need to increase the dose?
The alarm clock he held in his hand was still running, and the ticking sound once again amplified his anxiety and fear.
He simply dismantled the alarm clock and threw all the pieces into the drawer.
And there is already a whole space filled with alarm clock parts.
Jiang Shixu slowly stood up, his empty stomach telling him that it was time for him to go down and eat something.
Although he has no appetite at all.
The Jiang family was extremely quiet late at night. The huge villa completely faded away from the hustle and bustle during the day and became cold.
It was clearly early summer, but Jiang Shixu, who was wearing a long-sleeved shirt, couldn't help but hug his arms tightly.
He did not take the elevator, but staggered toward the stairs on the other side, groping down bit by bit in the dark.
Finally he got down to the first floor, but the journey had exhausted all the energy he had accumulated.
He dragged the same weak shadow to the kitchen.
However, I caught a glimpse of unexpected light.
——There is someone in the kitchen.
Jiang Li inside didn't seem to notice the movement behind him, but slowly chopped the chives in his hand.
She was wearing a lotus-pink nightgown, and her thick black hair was spread over her shoulders, intertwined with her delicate white collarbones.
The moonlight poured in from the floor-to-ceiling windows and enveloped the girl, giving her an indescribable sense of tranquility and beauty.
It just corresponds to the old saying - "Green hair is like a waterfall, and bright wrists are covered with frost."
After cutting the scallions, she took out a large bowl of fish soup and poured it into the pot.
While the milky white soup was boiling, Jiang Li added the eggs that had been fried in advance, and then added a bunch of hand-rolled noodles.
While she was doing everything, Jiang Shixu stood not far behind her and watched intently.
He didn't know why he was standing here.
Just looking at her quiet movements, his originally frightened heart suddenly calmed down.
So, he continued to stand there.
Watching Jiang Li pour the boiling soup into the bowl with the seasonings.
Then I watched her take out the noodles, put the cooked vegetables and poached eggs on top one by one, and finally sprinkled a handful of green onions.
The fragrant soup wrapped in green vegetables and green onions penetrated Jiang Shixu's nose.
The next second, his stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
Jiang Li paused and finally turned around to look at him.
Jiang Shixu was startled and subconsciously got into the shadow behind the sofa.
Jiang Li clearly saw the frail figure of the young man, but he didn't say anything. He just picked up the bowl of noodles and sat quietly at the table to eat.
This time it was Jiang Shixu's turn to be surprised.
He knew very well that the other party had already seen him.
But why doesn't she make some noise?
She didn't move, and neither did Jiang Shixu. The originally lively kitchen became quieter little by little, and finally the only sound left in the air was the sound of the girl quietly eating noodles.
Jiang Shixu finally couldn't hold it back and stuck his head out from the edge of the sofa.
At this time, Jiang Li was sitting at the dining table, enjoying the food in the bowl elegantly and calmly.
There is no intention to stop him.
Jiang Shixu suddenly became unhappy.
Because of his health, he rarely opens the door and goes out.
And every time he comes out, the entire Jiang family will feel as if they are facing a formidable enemy.
From Mr. Jiang down to every servant, they all greeted him with greetings and wished they could move the entire kitchen in front of him for him to choose from.
In the past, no matter how bad-tempered Jiang Li was, he would calm down when he met him.
It's like not paying attention to him at all now.
Jiang Shixu thought that maybe he moved too fast and she didn't see it clearly at all.
After all, it’s already so late, so it’s normal for your consciousness to be blurred.
So while thinking about it, he carefully moved half of his body out.
But Jiang Li still didn't look at him. Instead, he picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth, then stood up and put the empty bowl in the sink, then turned and went upstairs.
Jiang Shixu, who was completely treated like air: "..."
He stood up from behind the sofa dully, glanced at Jiang Li Juejue's back, pursed his lips, and his expression became even worse.
What? After becoming handsome, I just ignored him.
But then he stopped thinking about it.
Because the lingering aroma of the bowl of Yangchun noodles made his stomach growl again.
Jiang Shixu was a little surprised.
Because he hasn't felt this hungry for a long time.
Following the scent into the kitchen, he discovered that there was a bowl of noodles on the stove.
Could it be that Jiang Li left it for him?
But if that's the case, why didn't she call herself just now?
After thinking about it, Jiang Shixu simply pretended not to see it, turned around, walked aside and opened the refrigerator.
He will not eat the food that comes to him.
However, I looked at the cold sandwich in my hand, and then glanced at the steaming and fragrant Yangchun noodles on the stove.
He still gave in.
Anyway, this bowl of noodles will be thrown away by the aunt tomorrow, so why not wash the bowl after finishing it now and pretend that the bowl of noodles is not there?
Thinking of this, Jiang Shixu put the bland sandwich back.
When he picked up the bowl of noodles, he discovered that there was a beautifully fried sun-coated egg next to the green vegetables.
Jiang Shixu couldn't help but be stunned.
He clearly saw Jiang Li only frying one egg.
Did she do it on purpose...
A strange emotion stirred in Jiang Shixu's heart.
Since she would specifically think of frying eggs for herself, why did she just pretend to turn a blind eye?
Licking his dry lips, he picked up the chopsticks, picked up a few noodles and put them into his mouth.
In an instant, his pupils dilated slightly.
The freshness of the fish soup, the aroma of the hand-made noodles and the tenderness of the chopped green onions all spread on the tip of his tongue.
It was as if sunlight had melted into it, and it was warm all the way from the tip of his tongue to his stomach.
When he came to his senses, he had completely destroyed the bowl of Yangchun noodles.
Including the sun egg.
"Is it delicious?"
A female voice suddenly sounded behind him, and Jiang Shixu was so frightened that he threw away the chopsticks in his hand.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Jiang Li, who had just gone upstairs, but did not know when he appeared behind him.
"You..."
His pale face turned red instantly, looking like a caught thief, quite at a loss.
Jiang Li didn't pay attention, he just bent down and picked up the dropped chopsticks.
"Is it delicious?"
She asked again.
Jiang Shixu's brain had begun to feel drowsy, but for some reason, when he carefully looked into the girl's clear and bright eyes, he said something uncontrollably——
