Chapter 551 - 565: Steaming by Oneself
"Why?" Lin Ruonan bit into the second bun, starting to study the filling. After looking at it for a long time, she still couldn’t figure it out.Forgive her kitchen idiocy.
"I made this, didn’t buy it."
Uh... Lin Ruonan nearly choked on a mouthful of bun. How could she forget that it was Gu Haoyu who cooked breakfast today?
She hadn’t expected that not only did he fry the eggs, but he also steamed the buns himself. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NoveI(F)ire.net
It was only then she realized that apart from the two of them, there were no servants in the villa today.
Lin Ruonan kept her head down and continued eating her bun, and the dining room fell silent once again. To ease the awkwardness, Lin Ruonan deliberately started a conversation with Gu Haoyu.
"Brother, where are the servants? Why are you the one cooking today?"
"It’s a holiday, gave the servants a day off," Gu Haoyu said naturally.
A holiday? Chinese New Year was long over, wasn’t it? And there were clearly servants around just a couple of days ago, so what holiday could it be today?
Thinking this, Lin Ruonan asked aloud.
Gu Haoyu uttered a word she never could have expected, "Valentine’s Day."
Another mouthful of bun nearly choked her, and Lin Ruonan decided not to talk to her brother anymore, otherwise, she might just choke herself to death.
Gu Haoyu didn’t mind and occasionally placed buns and side dishes on her plate, his deep eyes quietly watching the girl opposite him.
What kind of person was Lin Ruonan? A professional soldier. Although she kept her head down while eating, she was still aware that those eyes were fixed on her. Finally, she drank up the porridge in her bowl in just a few gulps and put down her chopsticks.
"Brother, I’m full. Um, have you finished eating? If you’re done, I’ll do the dishes."
Gu Haoyu put down his chopsticks and said, "I’m done. Thanks."
Actually, he had finished eating long ago, but he was keeping the girl company. She had been here for three days, and they hadn’t yet sat down to have breakfast together.
Lin Ruonan quickly cleared the dishes, washed them, and then tidied up the kitchen.
Although Lin Ruonan couldn’t cook, she had lived alone in the military for a long time. She was very good at keeping her place tidy and orderly.
After everything was cleaned up, Lin Ruonan left the kitchen, planning to spend the day in her room.
Who knew that just as she was about to move toward the stairs, Gu Haoyu, who had been engrossed in his laptop on the sofa, looked up.
"Nan, come here."
His cool and magnetic voice was as enchanting as a cello, making Lin Ruonan instinctively halt her hurried steps.
She turned her head to look at Gu Haoyu, seeing that he was also watching her, "Brother, what’s the matter?"
Lin Ruonan took small, hesitant steps towards him; there was no way around it, facing her brother always made her feel overwhelmingly pressured.
Especially now that it seemed like they were the only two people left in the villa.
"Sit," Gu Haoyu pointed to the spot beside him, indicating that she should sit down.
Then he buried his head back into his laptop again, seemingly busy with something.
Lin Ruonan sat beside Gu Haoyu, feeling as if she were sitting on pins and needles, unable to decide whether to stay or go.
Gu Haoyu suddenly spoke without raising his head, "If you’re bored, watch some TV."
"Huh? Oh, okay," Lin Ruonan picked up the remote and turned on the TV, randomly choosing a channel.
In fact, she didn’t really enjoy watching TV, usually limiting herself to news or military channels. But at this moment, it was the only thing that could help her ease her nervousness.
Gu Haoyu paused his actions, watching Lin Ruonan fumbling almost clumsily with the remote control, his deep eyes like a bottomless dark pool.
