Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

It was already past 11 o'clock when she got home. After entering the house, Lin Xi suddenly remembered that she got up too late and hurried out after getting up. It seemed that she had not eaten dinner yet. So she asked Ye Huai who was changing his shoes, "Cousin, have you eaten dinner?"

Ye Huai put his shoes into the shoe cabinet and did not answer her question. Instead, he asked calmly, "Are you hungry?"

Lin Xi ate too much at noon, so she wasn't really hungry, but she still nodded and said, "I'm a little hungry. I got up too late just now and didn't have dinner."

Ye Huai said yes, then thought for a moment and asked again, "Can we have noodles?"

Lin Xi had originally just considered that he had a bad stomach and wanted to cook something for them to eat together, but hearing Ye Huai's tone, he actually wanted to cook it himself. She was surprised that a billionaire CEO could actually cook for himself. She immediately showed a flattered expression on her face, and looked at Ye Huai with sparkling eyes, "Sure, I'm not picky about food."

Ye Huai glanced at her face, lowered his eyelids, hummed, then turned and went into the kitchen. Lin Xi wanted to follow him to help, but the moment Ye Huai entered the room, he closed the kitchen door. Lin Xi's steps froze, and she sat down on the sofa resignedly and began to look at the layout of the house.

When she came back at noon, she was sweating and exhausted. When she went out at night, she was afraid that Ye Huai would be waiting anxiously, so she didn't have the chance to take a closer look at Ye Huai's house.

The house has a split-level layout, divided into two floors. The lower floor is the living room and daily activity area, and the upper floor has two suite bedrooms, connected by two independent staircases. The decoration is simple and clear, just like its owner, without any superfluous items.

The whole house was not very big. Lin Xi was a little surprised when she came in at noon. After all, in the domineering CEO literature she had read before, a big villa worth billions and a top-floor flat with an excellent view of the city center were the standard configurations of a CEO. Although Ye Huai's house was also in the city center, the area of this floor was at most about 100 square meters, which seemed a bit too down-to-earth.

After Lin Xi looked around the house, Ye Huai's noodles were ready. It was a very simple clear soup noodle with a light brown soup base. A golden poached egg lay on the snow-white noodles, and a few dried shrimps and chopped seaweed and green onions dotted on top. Lin Xi, who was not hungry at first, was salivating at the sight.

However, looking at the huge porcelain bowl in front of her that was almost as big as her face, she couldn't help but secretly glance at Ye Huai. It seemed that she ate too much at lunch, and this guy treated her like a glutton.

Lin Xi held up her chopsticks, not knowing where to start. Ye Huai cleaned up the kitchen, but after working for a long time, he found that the noodles in the bowl were still there. Lin Xi was still holding up her chopsticks, with an embarrassed expression on her face. He couldn't help but frowned, "Why? Don't you like it?"

"No, no, no, I like it very much, but there are too many noodles here. I'm afraid I can't finish them all by myself." Lin Xi quickly shook her head and expressed her thoughts. Then she said to Ye Huai, "It's so late, cousin should be hungry too. How about eating with me? It can be a midnight snack."

Ye Huai had eaten in the evening when Lin Xi was still sleeping. He had a bad stomach and ate little, and he never had the habit of having midnight snacks. He wanted to refuse, but seeing Lin Xi's cautious look, and thinking that she had just arrived and they would have to live together for another month, it would not be good to be too cold on her first day. So after hesitating for a moment, he nodded, went to the kitchen to get another bowl, and picked up some noodles.

Lin Xi wanted to give him the egg, but Ye Huai refused, "Eat it quickly, it's getting late."

Lin Xi could only hold the big bowl and start eating noodles obediently. Seeing that she had a good appetite, Ye Huai finished the little noodles in the bowl unknowingly. When he came to his senses and looked at the clean bottom of the bowl, he suddenly understood why the assistant who was caught slacking off had been drooling at the food broadcasts on her phone that seemed to have no appetite several times. It turns out that watching people eat with big mouthfuls can really increase appetite.

After they finished eating noodles, Lin Xi took the initiative to take over the task of washing dishes, and happily carried the dishes to the kitchen. Ye Huai sat at the table for a while, listening to the sound of water splashing from the kitchen and the occasional humming of one or two unclear words. Even though he couldn't see Lin Xi's expression, he could guess how happy she was at the moment. Her round eyes would narrow slightly, and the corners of her mouth would have a sweet smile, and she might even show a tiger tooth...

It doesn't seem so hard to accept having one more person living here, Ye Huai said silently in his heart.

After a good night's sleep, Ye Huai's biological clock has always been very punctual. Even though he doesn't have to go to the company now, he still opens his eyes on time at eight o'clock in the morning.

After taking off the earplugs he had been wearing all night, he simply washed up, changed into home clothes and went downstairs. When he was about to go to the kitchen to make himself a cup of coffee, he found that someone was already inside.

Lin Xi was wearing a light pink sportswear and an apron of the same color tied around her waist. She was waving a spatula to fry eggs. She heard footsteps at the kitchen door and looked back. A big Hello Kitty on her apron caught Ye Huai's eyes.

He choked up slightly. In just two days, he had seen this cartoon pattern more times than in the previous twenty-six years combined. Fortunately, Lin Xi was no longer dressed the same way as when they first met yesterday, so Ye Huai no longer behaved inappropriately like he did yesterday.

"Cousin, are you awake? Wash your hands quickly. I'll prepare breakfast soon." Lin Xi was still holding a spatula in her hand. When she saw Ye Huai, she smiled and said.

Ye Huai responded, and looking at her busy back, he felt embarrassed to go and make coffee, so he helped her get the bowls, chopsticks, knives and forks and put them on the table.

Lin Xi cleaned up the kitchen, took off her apron, and sat down at the table. She handed the plate in her hand to Ye Huai. Ye Huai took a glance and saw that it contained simple fried bread slices, a soft-boiled egg and a few slices of bacon, garnished with some boiled broccoli and tomatoes. Ye Huai took the plate, thanked him, and the two began to eat breakfast.

Ye Huai usually lives alone, so he naturally doesn't have the habit of talking while eating. However, Lin Xi is a person who has a hard time staying quiet. Seeing that there was nothing to say between the two of them, she took the lead in breaking the silence, "Cousin, isn't there any large supermarket nearby?"

Ye Huai raised his head, "Have you been out?"

"Well, I went out for a run this morning, did some boxing with the grandparents in the park, then bought some daily necessities, and went to the flower market to buy some green plants. I wanted to buy some meat and vegetables, but I couldn't find a supermarket, so I had to come back to clean the house and start making breakfast." Lin Xi shared her activities this morning.

After hearing her words, Ye Huai looked around and found that the already clean house became even tidier, with bright windows and clean desks. Many inconspicuous places were decorated with green plants, most of which were plump succulents. He subconsciously frowned, not liking these sudden extra things, but seeing Lin Xi's excited look, he held back and turned his attention to another point.

"Yes, but it's underground, and the entrance is hard to find. I'll show it to you when we get out." Then he asked in confusion, "Flower market, there's no flower market nearby, right?"

Lin Xi blinked and said naturally, "Yes, it's not nearby. I looked at the map and it's about 10 kilometers away. It's a bit far, but it's okay. I just ran over there."

Ye Huai was a little surprised, "Did you run 10 kilometers?"

"Yes, it's just that the map was a bit tricky. It took me a detour and it took me an hour and a half." Lin Xi wrinkled his nose, a little dissatisfied.

Ye Huai suddenly felt a little restless, "An hour and a half? Then what time did you get up?"

"Five o'clock."
