Hunger eventually overcame his sleepiness, and he got up in his slippers, quickly washed himself at the sink, and then slowly went downstairs.
The hallway lights were off, leaving only the lights on in the first-floor living room, but the hall seemed deserted.
He quietly went downstairs and headed straight for the refrigerator in the kitchen, where the food was separated and packed into plastic containers.
Ji Chi said he had saved some food for himself... Lawyer Jiang also said he had.
Wen He finally found a box of food in the bottom drawer of the refrigerator. It contained a variety of dishes, which appeared to be individually packaged and not leftovers.
He took out the box at the bottom, poured the food into a porcelain bowl, and finally, with Doubao's guidance, successfully put it into the microwave to heat it up.
The production team sent a message asking Wen He to vote today. Before the food was ready, he ran into the lounge, quickly took out a medal, and put it into Zhang Shengsheng's mailbox.
I'm in a group with Shengsheng today, so I'm going to vote for him. I'll be in a group with him again tomorrow, and I'll vote for him again then!
The instant the microwave beeped, Wen He had already arrived in the kitchen.
He used thick gloves to take the food that had been heated in the microwave.
The food was mixed together and didn't look very appetizing, but Wen He was starving, so he didn't care about the presentation.
Wen He took a bite of the black fungus; the taste was familiar... like takeout, but not like something she made herself...
He ate his rice bite by bite, his phone screen still playing movie narration, completely unaware that a figure had quietly come down from the second floor and walked to his side.
"Is it delicious?"
The sudden sound, accompanied by a blast of cold air near his ear, immediately sent shivers down Wen He's spine.
He turned to look at the person who had played the prank.
It really was Ji Chi.
Ji Chi is the only one in the whole house who's so childish!
Wen He ignored him and chewed up the rice that was almost choking her.
Ji Chi pulled out a chair and sat down beside him. "You're awake, why didn't you reply to my messages?"
"I forgot..." Wen He answered reluctantly, continuing to pick up the crisp bamboo shoots from the bowl and bite them one by one.
It's not that I forgot... it's that I didn't want to reply.
Lawyer Jiang replied to the message, because Lawyer Jiang was not as bad Ji Chi.
"If you forget, you're not allowed to eat." Ji Chi made a move to take the bowl in front of him away, but Wen He stopped him with his hand.
"I won't eat your food! This was saved for me by Lawyer Jiang."
"I also bought the meals for Lawyer Jiang."
Ji Chi rested her chin on her hand, staring at his possessive manner as he ate his food.
Upon hearing this, Wen He paused, protecting her bowl and chopsticks, but after some hesitation, she continued eating.
"I've already eaten... it's mine."
Ji Chi so naive...
Wen He couldn't help but think.
If he weren't hungry, he definitely wouldn't have eaten.
"Eat up, eat up, this is for you," Ji Chi said, seeing that he looked a little unhappy, so he didn't tease him anymore.
"I'm going out for a bit, I'll be home tomorrow morning," Ji Chi said, getting up and patting Wen He's head before turning and leaving.
"Oh..." People who don't go home at night are all bad people... they're all going to do bad things.
In TV dramas, they're always talking about going to bars or hotels.
Wen He dislikes men who drink alcohol; they smell bad.
Ji Chi had Ji Chi left than Jiang Ye came down from the second floor. He figured Wen He should have come down for dinner by now, as he had seen her message after finishing his work.
" Xiao He?"
" Lawyer Jiang," Wen He waved at him, raising her spoon.
Jiang Ye smiled gently, appearing exceptionally approachable under the warm yellow light.
I was going to heat it up for you, but I didn't expect you to have already started eating.
Wen He looked at the almost empty bowl of food and scooped out the last bite with her spoon.
"No need for that, I'll heat it up myself. Thank you for saving the food for me."
Jiang Ye looked at the takeout box on the table; it wasn't the one he had saved...
"It's alright, I was worried you weren't feeling well."
Wen He carried the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen to wash them, saying, "No, I'm perfectly healthy."
"That's fine then," Jiang Ye said, staying by his side instead of going upstairs. The two remained quiet for two minutes.
"Let's go," Wen He said, putting the bowls and chopsticks in the cupboard and gesturing for Jiang Ye to come upstairs.
The latter followed silently behind him. Jiang Ye waved to him and then closed the door.
Wen He lay in bed, her stomach full of food, and started to feel sleepy after scrolling through a few videos.
The next morning, Wen He's biological clock woke him up on time. He rubbed his eyes, and the first thing he did was open his phone to check messages and watch videos.
Demon Dragon: Are you awake yet?
Demon Dragon: I'm back. I bought you breakfast. Come downstairs to eat when you wake up.
Demon Dragon: I know you're awake. If you don't reply to my message soon, I'll hit you.
Demon Dragon: (Threat) bqb.
Wen He didn't reply to his message. Instead, she practiced her punches and kicks on the screen before finally changing her clothes and washing up.
When he came downstairs, there was already someone standing in the kitchen; it was Yun Li.
Wen He glanced around the room and went to the living room, but did not see Ji Chi.
fraud...
He turned on his phone and tapped into their chat window.
He He He: Where are you?
He He He: I didn't see you.
Demon Dragon: You want to see me?
Wen He glanced at the message the other party had sent and quickly turned off the screen. He had no idea what was wrong with Ji Chi...
He clearly said he bought breakfast, but now it's gone.
After casually placing her phone on the dining table, Wen He went into the kitchen. There were pre-made small steamed buns and dumplings in the refrigerator. Wen He took out four small steamed buns and steamed them.
"Why is it steaming?" Ji Chi strode over to Wen He's side.
"I'm hungry," Wen He, adding another ladle of water to the pot before leaving the kitchen.
Ji Chi clicked his tongue lightly, picked up the bag from the corner of the counter, and placed it in front of Wen He. "I brought back breakfast."
"I didn't see it, you can eat it yourself," Wen He said, pursing her lips without looking at the bag on the table.
Ji Chi already had a plan in mind.
"Okay, then I'll eat it myself..."
Ji Chi opened the takeout bag and took out the abundant breakfast items, placing them one by one in front of Wen He.
A small portion of spring rolls, a small portion of crab roe soup dumplings, a small portion of dry-mixed wontons, and a cup of soy milk.
The portion was small, but there were many different kinds of food; it was just enough for Wen He to eat by herself.
Ji Chi took out his chopsticks and poked the soup dumpling open, releasing a fragrant aroma that filled the air.
Wen He swallowed the saliva that came out of her mouth, ran to the refrigerator door, and poured herself a glass of pure milk.
Yun Li took out Jiang Yu's cup and handed it to Wen He, "Pour me a cup too, thank you."
"Uh-huh..."
Ji Chi inserted the straw into the soy milk cup and sipped the warm soy milk in large gulps. The rich aroma of the soy milk, the slightly grainy texture, and the perfect touch of sweetness were delightful.
"Mmm... it tastes so good~"
Wen He had tasted the soy milk Ji Chi brought; he knew how delicious it was, sweet and...
