By the window, Li Nanheng said faintly to the phone. âGive them a pay raise.â
Hearing this, the two people who were performing were so excited that they brought out the best in their acting and said all sorts of moving words.
Feng Ling felt this couple was a bit strange but she was somewhat touched.
She couldnât help but remember what had happened between her and Li Nanheng and all the things that the latter had done for her...
She carried the breakfast which was already getting cold in her hand, quickly crossed the road, and walked back to the hotel.
When she entered the room, she saw Lin Nanheng standing in the living room, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, and looking at her with drowsy eyes, intending to go back to his bedroom.
Feng Ling pursed her lip and said to him, âDonât sleep. Eat breakfast.â
The man stopped his steps and turned to look at her back. âWhat breakfast?â
Feng Ling put breakfast on the table. Her voice was flat but was not as cold as several days ago. âBuns, fried dough sticks, soybean milk, porridge, and a box of pickled vegetables.â
Noticing that she no longer kept him at armâs length, Li Nanheng turned to throw the coffee cup back to the kitchen and walked back to the table. When he was about to sit down to eat, Feng Ling glanced at him. âDidnât you just get up? Donât you brush your teeth? â
Li Nanheng: â...â He got up, turned back to the bedroom, and started brushing his teeth the second time today.
When the man finished brushing his teeth and came out, Feng Ling had finished eating. When he sat down, she was about to get up, but the man pushed the soybean milk on his hand to her. âI donât drink this. Help me drink it.â
Feng Ling looked at him. âI donât have that big of a stomach.â
Li Nanheng glanced at the table. âYou gave me two steamed stuffed buns and two fried dough sticks but you only ate one fried dough stick and a cup of soybean milk. Why do you eat like a kitten?â
Feng Ling: â...Iâm not that hungry. A little will do for me.â
âDrink it.â The man pushed the soybean milk to her again decisively.
Feng Ling glanced at the soybean milk and then looked at him. The man had already picked up a steamed stuffed bun and started eating. He ate gracefully, without affectation or wolfing down his food.
She took the soybean milk, put a straw in it, and took two more sips.
âWhat are you thinking?â Li Nanheng looked at her while eating, with a meaningful smile in his eyes. âI didnât notice that you went out when I got up. Youâre still wounded. How can I let you go out to buy breakfast? Did I train you to be too independent? You just donât give others an opportunity to enjoy being relied on.â
Feng Ling just drank the soybean milk and didnât speak.
She thought of the young couple arguing downstairs just now.
Just like that girl, she was used to solving everything herself and didnât want to trouble anyone. Even if she was in trouble, she always kept it in her heart and didnât turn to anyone for help.
However, wasnât she going too far to reject a person for various reasons, who was willing to help her?
Unlike that man, Li Nanheng hadnât expressed his dissatisfaction and anger, but last time, he said in her ear remember what she said.
After that time, he became indifferent to her and even ignored her, which showed that he was really angry.
What was he angry about?
Angry that she didnât understand his heart?
âI got up early and couldnât sleep anymore, so I went downstairs and bought breakfast along the way. Itâs not as complicated as you think.â Feng Ling said lightly, but she was looking at the man who was eating, hesitated, and asked in the end, âIs it delicious?â
For the first time in so long, he heard Feng Ling take the initiative to ask him something, although her question was short.
The smile on Li Nanhengâs face spread in an instant. He bit half of the steamed stuffed bun, swallowed it and laughed. âYes.â
Feng Ling: â...â
Why did people always say that Li Nanheng was very cold-hearted? In her eyes, he was like a fool. Why did he laugh? Was it just because the food was tasty?
And he was laughing while looking at her as if it was not a steamed stuffed bun but a gold lump.
Feng Ling no longer looked at him, continued to drink the soybean milk, glanced at the fitness area on the riverside opposite the hotel, and retracted her gaze. However, she suddenly paused, looked at the fitness area again, and at the same time, glanced at the phone that she put on the dining table.
Strange.
When she was downstairs just now, there were people selling things there. It hadnât been long. Why had the stalls disappeared?
Had they sold out of their goods?
But she saw there were still many just now, and it was still early and there wouldnât be so many people who would buy their goods. It was impossible to sell so fast.
It had been less than half an hour and the stalls had been gone?
Feng Ling looked in that direction thoughtfully. Li Nanheng looked in that direction too. Noticing where she was looking, he coughed and raised his hand. âGive me the soybean milk. I am choking.â
âHuh?â Feng Ling hadnât recovered from her thoughts yet. Seeing the man was choking, she hurriedly handed him the soybean milk that had not been finished.
The man took her soybean milk and then took a mouthful with the straw she had just used. By the time she realized that the straw had been used by her, the man had already taken a few mouthfuls.
Feng Lingâs attention was also completely drawn by the straw. She frowned but then she thought that he had her kissed before, so it should be fine for them to use the same straw. When she was in the base, she also used shared cups with other members.
But sharing the same straw was too intimate. Were they so close?
But she didnât say anything. She hesitated when the man returned the soybean milk to her. If she didnât drink it, it was wasteful. There was still half a cup. But if she drank it, it seemed that...
After hesitating for a while, she lowered her head and continued to drink, but this time, she hung her head lower as if afraid that men would see her frowning.
Catching a glimpse of her cute expression, Li Naheng kept a straight face, glanced at her cell phone, and secretly smiled.
âWhere did you buy breakfast? It tastes good. I will buy two portions tomorrow morning.â The man tried to find a topic.
Feng Ling said while drinking the soybean milk lowering her head, âNo, I know where to buy it. I will buy it tomorrow.â
