chapter 48

Silent as she was, she even shocked Lu Zhanke. You know, Ai Changhuan was nothing like a girl who obeyed others easily. If she felt dissatisfied, she would speak up immediately.

The reason why she showed her compliance was probably because of her kind heart. It was by noticing her Achilles’ heel that he could successfully play tricks on her every time.

Thinking about this, Lu Zhanke couldn’t help feeling guilty.

He looked at Ai Changhuan who was as busy as a bee, sighed for a while, and uttered, “Chang Huan, you are too kind-hearted.”

Ai Changhuan said, “Yeah, I am so kind-hearted that I will be used by you every time.”

Lu Zhanke pretended to be calm and said, “then let me wash.”

Ai Changhuan felt a little strange, but she couldn’t figure it out. After hearing that Lu Zhanke was going to wash on his own, she was finally relieved because her waist was too sore.

“Go ahead, be careful, don’t wet the wound.” Ai Changhuan said as she got up and walked out of the bathroom.

“Got it.”

When Lu Zhanke changed his clothes and came out of the bathroom, Ai Changhuan hurried in. She was so tired that she couldn’t wait to take a hot bath.

When she went in, she found that Lu Zhanke had put in a new tank of hot water at a suitable temperature, and it seemed to be prepared for her. She hesitated and wanted to say something, but Lu Zhanke had already left.

Ai Changhuan bared her teeth slightly, “At least he has some conscience.”

After taking off her clothes, Ai Changhuan immediately lay in the bathtub and allowed the warm water to soothe her sore limbs. She took a long breath instantly, “Oh yeah, this is life!”

Although the bathtub was not wide enough or advanced, she enjoyed it a lot. The water could relax one’s body and mind, especially for a person who had been in the hospital for nearly a month and could take only several showers during the period. How Ai Changhuan wished that she could have such a hot bath forever!

Although Lu Zhanke always teased Ai Changhuan, he was a good husband who treasured his wife. After quietly preparing the bath water for her, he went to the kitchen again to see if there was anything in the fridge and he planned to prepare dinner.

However, on account of not being at home for so long, and Ai Changhuan’s failure to store food, it was absolutely empty in the fridge. He rummaged through the cabinets, and finally found a pack of noodles and two eggs.

Well, he could cook some noodles finally.

Lu Zhanke thought for a while, then went to the yard, finding a lot of vegetables planted by Ai Changhuan. With Yang Anxin’s help, this yard was not deserted, so the vegetables were quite fresh, all green and tender.

Lu Zhanke picked two tomatoes, a handful of cabbage, and returned to kitchen.

As soon as Ai Changhuan came out of the bathroom, she noticed Lu Zhanke being busy in the kitchen.

She leaned against the door of the kitchen and was engrossed in observing him.

She definitely knew he was handsome, however, she just ignored him at first, as well as his charm. Now that she had calmed down, at such a weary moment, seeing a man being busy for her, she sensed a kind of happiness as if she were a princess.

It was so attracting when men cook.

Seeing Ai Changhuan coming, Lu Zhanke smiled, “take a break. Dinner will be ready right now.”

Instead of sitting down in the dining room, Ai Changhuan entered the kitchen, and stood behind Lu Zhanke.

“What are you doing with? It smells great.”

“There is little food at home, so I made tomato egg noodles.” Saying that, he turned around and sidestepped Ai Changhuan, “Be careful.”

Ai Changhuan sat at the table. There was a plate of green vegetables on it, which looked delicious. She couldn’t keep herself from tasting one.

Well, it was much better than she did.

Lu Zhanke came over with two bowls of noodles, “Guess you must be hungry. Let’s eat.”

Wow, seeing tomato and egg noodles look good, too, Ai Changhuan hurriedly took a sip, then gave a thumbs up and praised him, “Nice! It’s so delicious! How do you make it?”

It never occurred to Lu Zhanke that it was a proud thing for a man to cook, but at that moment, when he heard Ai Changhuan’s compliment, he couldn’t help but smile with joy, “Many people make tomato egg noodles by boiling water, and put the noodles, then the tomatoes and eggs. In fact, this is wrong. The taste of sour and sweet in tomatoes and the umami in eggs are not integrated with the noodles. The correct way is to fry the tomatoes first, then ladle them out. Then scramble the eggs. Next, boil water and make noodles in boiled water. Pour tomatoes and eggs when the noodles are ready. ”

“Oh, that’s the way.” Ai Changhuan suddenly realized, took another sip, and the taste was really different. She asked, “How do you get to know how to cook?”

“My mother passed away very early, and my dad was outside home all the year round. Only the nanny took care of us, but the nanny was very noncommittal and often cooked only one meal a day. I couldn’t bear it, so I had to cook by myself. I was only ten when I first cooked. I remember it was fried eggs. At that time, the eggs were poured without hot oil. Then…” He frowned once, and it seemed that it was not so good.

Hearing his words, Ai Changhuan felt a little pity for him. Although her parents also passed away early, she had a loving grandfather. She was rich in food and clothes, and everything she had was the best. She never suffered from any grievance. Compared with Lu Zhanke, she lived much better.

She never thought that a person like Lu Zhanke even suffered terribly for lack of food. Feeling sad about him in mind, Ai Changhuan hurriedly picked the noodles in her bowl into Lu Zhanke’s, “You … you have some more.”

Looking at her movements, Lu Zhanke was stunned for a moment, then a little dumbfounded, and finally he felt an inexplicably touched mood. He said with a smile, “What a silly girl.”

Ai Changhuan responded, “I’m not silly.”

Lu Zhanke smiled and touched her head, “Yes, you are not silly. You are kind, very kind.”

Ai Changhuan didn’t answer, and took a sip of noodle soup with her head down.

Suddenly, she remembered Lu Zhanke’s elder brother, Lu Zhanqing. “Well, wasn’t your brother older than you at that time? Why didn’t he cook and take care of you, but it was you to take care of him?”

After hearing the words, Lu Zhanke almost laughed, “Do you think that his cold appearance was formed after birth? No, he has been like that since he was a child. Do you think that such a cold person would be willing to cook? Although he was older than me, he was thinner than me. He would rather be hungry than cook on his own. Every day, the first thing that I needed to do after backing home, was to cook for him. ”

Ai Changhuan couldn’t help but feel speechless. She never imagined that there would be such a person who would rather starve to death than cook. Of course, he should be thankful to Lu Zhanke for still being healthy.

The two brothers were really dogged by bad luck, but fortunately, everything had passed. Now they each had their own careers. As for those dark experiences, just let them pass.
