Tan Yan was helped to sit down on the dining chair.

Doctors usually recommend that sick people eat lighter meals. Jiang Ximeng specially made clear soup noodles with less oil, and sprinkled some chopped green onions on top as garnish.

A simple bowl of noodles whetted Tan Yan's appetite, as he hadn't eaten anything for the whole day. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"have you eaten?"

It is very likely that she was so busy cooking for him that she didn't have time to eat.

"I'm not hungry." Jiang Ximeng shook her head.

No wonder!

She feels so hungry if she doesn't eat!

She had originally planned to come over to serve the noodles, wake up Tan Yan and let him eat by himself, and then go home to eat her 'deluxe version' noodles.

She never expected that President Tan was defeated by a cold and was staggering. How could she dare to let him eat by himself?

What if this person fainted after she returned home, or fell while walking because he had no strength left?

After all, they grew up together, so they couldn't just ignore it when they saw it. Of course they had to help.

"Let's eat together." Tan Yan said, and was about to get up and go to the kitchen to get the dishes and chopsticks.

"Really... no need." Jiang Ximeng pressed his shoulders.

After moving his hands alternately left and right for a few times, he managed to utter a few words, "Wait a minute... I'll go home and get my share."

When Jiang Ximeng went out of Tan Yan's house, she forgot to leave the door ajar and instead closed it tightly.

So much so that when she came back and looked at the closed door, she was completely stunned.

What a pig brain!

Now, how does she open the door?

Your name is Tan Yan?

He didn't even know how he walked from the sofa to the dining table. Did he have to crawl to open the door?

Not going?

No, that won’t work. I just agreed to it.

Then, there is only one way left...

"Ding!"

Jiang Ximeng gritted her teeth and pressed the combination lock, then walked in under someone's burning gaze.

"Hahaha... I have a really bad memory... I forgot to leave the door open for myself... Hahaha..."

She could only frantically try to make excuses for herself and save face.

However, he did not save anything, because he said: "Not completely, after all, I still remember the six digits very accurately."

Jiang Ximeng: "..."

Why don't you open any pot and lift it?

Putting the big bowl in his hand on the dining table, Jiang Ximeng sat down opposite him.

Tan Yan picked up the chopsticks, eager to try her cooking. He thought that the noodles must be delicious if they looked so good.

"Let's eat."

After he finished speaking, he inadvertently glanced at the bowl of the person opposite him.

It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it. Once he looked at it, the corners of Tan Yan's mouth twitched.

"You...what kind of noodles is this?" There was a mess of stuff inside.

Jiang Ximeng took a mouthful of noodles and spoke in a vague voice, "Seafood noodles."

Tan Yan looked at the shrimps and several kinds of shellfish that appeared in the bowl at the same time, as well as a lot of green leafy vegetables and eggs. How could there be everything!

His relaxed brows finally furrowed, "Is this really okay?"

Won’t eat bad guys?

"Why not? I eat like this when my brother is not at home, and I am still alive and well."

Tan Yan: “!”

He looked down at the clear noodles at hand and swallowed again.

But this time it’s not because I want to eat, but because I’m afraid…

From Jiang Ximeng's bowl of 'seafood noodles', he had fully understood: she couldn't cook!

"You... should eat mine..." Tan Yan pushed his plain noodles over, feeling that his would be tastier and healthier.

I don't know...

Jiang Ximeng protected her wrists with both hands, her big eyes flashing with vigilance, "What are you going to do?"

Tan Yan: “…”

"I'll order for you!"

Tan Yan wanted to find his cell phone, but it was still on the bedside table.

He is so weak now that he can't get it.

"No, I just want this!" Jiang Ximeng refused. Why did Tan Yan look down on the seafood noodles she made? It wasn't for him to eat, so why did he dislike it?

The problem was solved to no avail, so Tan Yan started to eat his portion of noodles.

He originally thought that the taste would not be that good, after all, the bowl of seafood noodles was really not good. But to his surprise, the noodles were delicious.

The biggest advantage of plain noodles is that they contain less oil and water, so even people like him who are sick and have no appetite can eat them.

The noodles are moderately salty, with a layer of chopped green onions floating on top of the soup. When you suck it into your mouth along with the noodles, the fragrance lingers on your lips and teeth.

Tan Yan sighed, saying that she was worthy of being Aunt Jiang's daughter. Like Jiang Mulin, she had inherited her aunt's cooking skills perfectly.

Tan Yan ate quickly and elegantly. He finished a bowl of noodles in just a few minutes and even drank the soup.

Such behavior made Jiang Ximeng, who seldom cooks, feel extremely satisfied.

Well, this kid's taste buds are quite worldly-wise.

Tan Yan was 'not feeling well' and couldn't move.

He sat quietly on the dining chair, looking at the person who was "confronting" Xia Ke opposite him, and wanted to laugh.

You can tell she doesn't do this often, her movements are clumsy, and she doesn't peel it very well.

"Give me the box of gloves."

"Ah?" Jiang Ximeng was stunned and pushed the box over in a daze.

Tan Yan took out two gloves and put them on, then took a prawn from her bowl and started peeling it.

Jiang Ximeng was even more confused by his behavior, and her eyes followed Daxia to the man.

The man had long fingers, and the regular disposable gloves were a little too short for him, barely covering the lower part of his palms, which made the size of the prawns look much smaller.

His five fingers flew flexibly, and in just a few seconds, the shrimp shells were peeled off and the shrimp meat was put back into her bowl.

While Jiang Ximeng was stunned, Tan Yan had already peeled several.

Jiang Ximeng squeezed the prawns that she hadn't finished peeling in her hand and refused quietly, "No need for you..."

Tan Yan didn't say anything, but his hands kept moving.

Soon, he had peeled most of the shrimps and placed them one by one next to the bowl.

"It will get cold if you don't eat it."

Tan Yan put the last shrimp back into the bowl, but did not take his hand away immediately. Instead, he turned around and took the shrimp in her hand.

The moment their fingers touched, Jiang Ximeng was startled and her fingers trembled subconsciously, and the shrimp that she had peeled into pieces slipped between her fingers.

Looking at the overly eye-catching red on the white table, she instantly recalled the rainy night before her rebirth...

The indescribable confusion in his eyes suddenly disappeared.

Jiang Ximeng picked up the shrimp and threw it into the trash can, her expression unusually cold, "Thank you, Mr. Tan."

Tan Yan stared at her silently until she finished all the noodles in the bowl, and he never raised his head again.

This is very wrong.

Even when she was hiding from him before, she had never done this before. She always tried her best to act natural and not intentional.

And now... resistance was almost written on her face.

Tan Yan didn’t understand why Jiang Ximeng rejected him?

If she was disheartened by his previous indifference, she shouldn't have such a pale face.

When she picked up the shrimp just now, her whole arm was shaking and her breathing was rapid.

Just like that time when I suddenly braked, it was as if I was frightened by something, like a nightmare.

"Jiang Ximeng, what are you afraid of?"
