Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

Chapter 158 Sweet

She looked away, walked out of the bedroom, went to the kitchen, and took two buckets of instant noodles to the living room.

Turning around, I saw Yu Chen following me out.

He asked, "Do you want some?"

Yu Chen looked at what she was holding but didn't say anything.

Su Wuli explained, "This is instant noodles; you can eat it after just soaking it in boiling water."

Upon hearing this, Yu Chen walked to her side.

Seeing this, Su Wuli acquiesced to his request to eat.

Then I opened a bucket and poured in the seasoning packet.

He stood to the side watching, his gaze fixed on the several brightly colored bags.

Su Wuli picked up the kettle and poured water.

Steam rises and a fragrant aroma wafts out.

She put the lid on and waited three minutes.

Open and stir.

Su Wuli handed him a pair of chopsticks.

"Try it."

Yu Chen glanced at him, took the bowl of noodles, and looked down at it.

The noodles are curled up, the soup is red and glossy, and a few scallions float on top.

Su Wuli was so hungry that she couldn't wait to start eating her own bowl.

Yu Chen glanced at her, picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks, and put it in his mouth.

I chewed it.

Su Wuli looked at him, waiting for him to say something.

However, he didn't say anything, and chewed again.

Immediately afterwards, his brows furrowed and his Adam's apple bobbed.

Seeing this, Su Wuli asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Yu Chen stared at the bowl of noodles and remained silent for two seconds.

Then she spoke softly, "Spicy."

Upon hearing this, she was stunned for a moment.

辣？

She looked down at her own bowl, then at his.

It's spicy, but the spiciness level wasn't too bad for Su Wuli.

Realizing something, Su Wuli couldn't help but probe, "You...can't eat spicy food?"

Yu Chen looked at her without saying anything, but Su Wuli understood the resentful look in his eyes.

She almost laughed.

"I thought you could eat that, but all we have at home is spicy food..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up another piece of food with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

This time, his brows furrowed even more deeply.

Su Wuli noticed that his eyes were a little red.

It was clearly really spicy.

This time, I finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha..."

Yu Chen looked up at her upon hearing the sound.

His eyes were red-rimmed, and there seemed to be a little water in the corners of his eyes.

He looked completely different from the usually cold-faced regent.

She couldn't stop laughing.

After laughing for a while, she finally stood up, walked to the refrigerator, took out a glass of milk, poured it, and came back to hand it to him.

"Drink this to relieve the spiciness."

Yu Chen reached out and took it, then took a sip.

His furrowed brows finally relaxed a little.

I took another sip.

Su Wuli stood beside him, watching him drink milk and wanted to laugh again.

The man, who is usually very imposing, is now so hot from the spiciness of a bowl of instant noodles that his eyes are red, and he is obediently drinking milk.

Yu Chen finished his drink and looked up at her.

Those eyes were still red, and the tears at the corners of their eyes hadn't completely dried.

Su Wuli's upturned lips froze.

Feeling a little embarrassed by his gaze, she stopped smiling and asked, "Is it still spicy?"

Yu Chen didn't answer, whether he didn't want to or was too spicy to speak.

Just as Su Wuli was speculating, Yu Chen handed her the cup in his hand.

Seeing this, Su Wuli realized what was happening and quickly took the cup and poured another one.

After taking it, Yu Chen drank much slower than before.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Su Wuli sat back down at the table and continued eating her bowl of instant noodles.

After taking a couple of bites, I couldn't help but glance at him again.

The man was drinking the milk very seriously, and he looked like he was really suffering from the spiciness.

Su Wuli bit her chopsticks, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve up again.

Yu Chen seemed to notice, and looked up at her.

When their eyes met, she quickly lowered her head and pretended to be focused on eating her noodles.

But the corners of her mouth were still curved.

After Yu Chen finished his second cup, he put the cup down.

Su Wuli looked up at him upon seeing this.

Yu Chen stared at the bowl of instant noodles on the table, not touching it.

"Not eating anymore?"

He glanced at her, his eyes seeming to say: Do you think I can still eat?

She pursed her lips and pulled the bowl of noodles in front of her.

"Then I'll eat it," she said. "Don't waste it."

I picked up a piece with my chopsticks and put it in my mouth.

Yu Chen sat beside her and watched her eat.

Su Wuli raised her head and met his gaze.

"What are you looking at?"

Yu Chen didn't answer, but simply reached out and wiped away a little soup stain from the corner of her mouth.

He brushed his fingertips against her lips.

Rough.

It's a little hot.

Su Wuli was stunned for a moment.

Yu Chen withdrew his hand and looked at her. "Eat slowly."

Su Wuli paused, then lowered her head and continued eating.

But I ate much slower than before.

The man sat there without saying anything more.

His expression relaxed a bit, and he was no longer as embarrassed as he had been when the spiciness hit him.

He reverted to being the enigmatic regent.

In the end, Su Wuli still didn't finish her food and put down her chopsticks.

She looked up and met his eyes.

He kept looking at her. "Are you full?"

Su Wuli nodded subconsciously and stood up, thinking of cleaning up the bowl.

Yu Chen stood up and walked up to her.

"Then it's my turn."

As soon as she finished speaking, her heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively shrank back.

He took a step forward, getting closer to her.

Su Wuli's back pressed against the edge of the table; she couldn't move back.

My mind was a complete mess, and I blurted out, "I'll go order some washed fruit..."

She was stunned after she finished speaking.

Washing fruit?

What kind of excuse is that? She's already full late at night, why would she eat fruit?

But since she had already said it, she quickly slipped past him and headed towards the kitchen.

I was walking so fast that I almost tripped over my own foot.

A low chuckle came from behind.

Su Wuli felt a heat on her face and rushed into the kitchen to turn on the tap.

The water was flowing, and she was standing by the pool washing strawberries.

I poured cold water on my hands, but it couldn't wash away the burning sensation on my face.

They took a long time to wash, which was clearly a delaying tactic.

She washed the strawberries until they were almost crushed before taking the plate out.

The living room lights were on, and the television was on as well.

Yu Chen was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Upon seeing this, Su Wuli was taken aback.

I walked over, put the strawberries on the coffee table, and sat down next to him.

The TV was showing a business drama, the very one she had downloaded for him last time.

Su Wuli turned to look at him.

Yu Chen leaned back on the sofa and looked at the screen. Although he was wearing ancient costume, it didn't look as out of place as before.

Su Wuli suddenly felt like laughing.

He seemed to be looking at it quite intently.

She reached out, picked up a strawberry, and held it to his lips.

Yu Chen glanced down at the bright red fruit in front of him, but didn't open his mouth.

His eyes were filled with wariness.

Su Wuli paused for a moment, then realized what she meant.

"This is a strawberry, not spicy, it's sweet."

Yu Chen still didn't open his mouth.

She had no choice but to take the strawberry back and take a bite herself.

"Look," she said, her voice muffled by a strawberry in her mouth, "it's sweet."

Only then did the wariness in the man's eyes slowly dissipate.

Su Wuli then took another one and held it to his lips.

This time, Yu Chen lowered his head and took a bite out of her hand.

Warm lips touched her fingertips.

She pulled her fingers back and almost dropped the strawberry.

Yu Chen noticed and looked up at her.

Su Wuli looked away and pretended to watch TV intently.

But the warmth on my fingertips lingered.
