Half an hour later, the room was tidy and clean again.
Chen Shuo did all the work, while Su Xiyan just sat on the sofa, with her little head and eyes moving along with Chen Shuo's figure from time to time.
Chen Shuo wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I really don't know how a girl like you can make such a big mess at home?"
"It's like a pigsty!"
Su Xiyan smiled, "That's because I was waiting for you to come back and clean up!"
Chen Shuo said, "What if I didn't come back?"
Su Xiyan looked just like a sly little fox that had succeeded in a scheme, "How is that possible? I have thousands of ways to make you move back to Haiyi Apartment."
"See, you've come back already, haven't you?"
Chen Shuo: "..."
What she said made sense!
This woman had even brought her own mother into her unified alliance.
Now, under "her order", Su Xiyan could boss Chen Shuo around, and her little tail was probably going to curl up to the sky.
"Shuo Shuo, your little sweetheart is hungry."
Chen Shuo: "..."
"Can you speak properly?"
"Be more normal, Su Xiyan?"
Goosebumps were rising all over Chen Shuo's body. Su Xiyan's coquetry was lethal! Unbearable to watch!
A girl like her shouldn't act coquettish at all.
"I'm a little full from lunch. Let's just have something light tonight!" Chen Shuo found some still edible ingredients in the fridge and went into the kitchen.
Soon, the fragrance of food drifted out from the kitchen.
It had been a long time since she sat at the dining table at home like this, waiting for Chen Shuo to bring out delicious food.
Su Xiyan sat on the dining chair, smacking her lips as she looked towards the kitchen.
Hmm? She usually ate very little at night! A beauty had to maintain her figure after all.
But she would make an exception tonight! Consider it a celebration for Chen Shuo moving back home.
"There was only noodles and eggs left in the fridge, plus two spring onions. I also pulled out a handful of green onions from the potted plants on the balcony and made scallion oil. Let's just make do with scallion oil noodles for dinner tonight!"
Two bowls of scallion oil noodles were brought out. The fine noodles were chewy, and each strand was coated with the aromatic scallion oil, exuding an irresistible fragrance. On top of the noodles was a golden fried egg, garnished with finely chopped green onions.
"Mix it with chopsticks, don't let it clump together." Chen Shuo skillfully used her chopsticks to mix the noodles evenly.
Su Xiyan pushed her bowl towards Chen Shuo.
Chen Shuo blinked, "You're not eating? I can't finish two bowls of noodles by myself!"
Su Xiyan: "..."
"What are you thinking?"
"I mean, help me mix it."
Chen Shuo brought Su Xiyan's bowl over, mixing the noodles while gently blowing on the steaming hot noodles.
"There, it's ready, Miss Su."
"This house really can't function without me."
Su Xiyan nodded, "Hmm, I'll temporarily agree with your point this time."
The flavorful scallion oil noodles warmed them thoroughly from head to toe, seemingly chasing away the autumn chill.
Soon, both bowls of noodles were licked clean.
Chen Shuo reminded Su Xiyan, "Aren't you trying to lose weight? Why eat so much?"
Su Xiyan glared fiercely at Chen Shuo, "Girls can say they want to lose weight themselves, you can't say it. Remember that for next time?"
That look was still a little scary!
Chen Shuo nodded again and again, "Got it, got it!"
Su Xiyan looked down at herself and asked Chen Shuo, "Do you think I'm fat?"
Chen Shuo answered honestly, "Not fat, you're even a little thin. I should fatten you up a bit in the future."
Su Xiyan said, "Fatten me up so no one else will want me?"
Chen Shuo's eyes showed some disdain, "With your fierce temper, who else would dare to want you apart from me?"
"Besides, weren't you the one who pursued me?"
The next second, Chen Shuo felt what was called "a punch of true love from my girlfriend".
A round of laughing and joking ended with Chen Shuo's defeat.
"Chen Shuo, you lost. Go wash the dishes."
"Alright! A real man doesn't fight with women!"
The scallion oil noodles didn't actually have a heavy taste. But for Su Xiyan who usually ate very lightly, it was a little too heavy.
After washing up, there still seemed to be a scent of scallion oil in her mouth.
So Su Xiyan took a refreshing mint and popped it into her mouth.
Just then, Chen Shuo happened to finish tidying up the kitchen and walked out while wiping her hands.
Seeing Chen Shuo, a bold idea popped into Su Xiyan's mind.
She walked towards Chen Shuo with a meaningful smile, "Chen Shuo, you cooked and cleaned today, you must be tired."
Sudden enthusiasm? There must be something fishy!
Chen Shuo felt Su Xiyan was up to no good and hurriedly circled around her.
Su Xiyan's long legs were fast. She got ahead of him and blocked his way at his bedroom door.
"Su Xiyan, what are you trying to do?"
Su Xiyan tiptoed slightly, leaning towards Chen Shuo, breathing gently, "Chen Shuo, have you ever eaten imported candy before?"
Chen Shuo said, "I don't like eating candy."
Su Xiyan said, "You definitely haven't tried imported candy before. If you had, you wouldn't say you don't like eating candy."
Seeing that Chen Shuo was about to slip away, Su Xiyan didn't think twice and took the initiative to kiss Chen Shuo's thin lips.
Chen Shuo: "..."
Apart from the softness, Chen Shuo also felt something cool and sweet slide into his mouth.
It was a mint.
So... this was the "imported candy" Su Xiyan mentioned??
Su Xiyan's cheeks were rosy. Under the light, even her earlobes turned semi-transparent from blushing.
"Chen Shuo, is it sweet?"
Chen Shuo instinctively nodded, "...Sweet."
"Chen Shuo, did you like the imported candy I gave you?"
Chen Shuo kept nodding, "Liked it."
Su Xiyan asked, "Want some more?"
Chen Shuo nodded even faster, "Of course I do."
Just as he finished speaking, Chen Shuo reached out to grab Su Xiyan's shoulders, wanting to pull this sly little fox into his arms and let her taste the "imported candy" too.
But Su Xiyan wouldn't let Chen Shuo succeed!
Her slender and supple body slipped away from Chen Shuo's arms like a slippery little fish.
"Although imported candy is delicious, you can't be greedy! Be careful of getting cavities!"
With that said, Su Xiyan slipped into her room.
Looking at the closed door, it took Chen Shuo a while to react.
Did Su Xiyan just forcibly kiss him under the pretext of feeding him "imported candy"?
Still, he had to admit, this imported candy tasted pretty great!
Today was truly an unforgettable day.
Because Chen Shuo ate the sweetest mint candy of his life.
After lingering at the door to savor it for a while until the mint in his mouth had completely melted away, Chen Shuo finally headed towards his own room.
