NOVEL FROG Chapter 38
I don't know how long it took.
The crying gradually weakened.
There were already three cigarette butts under Su He's feet.
Lin Qingmeng looked up and looked at Su He with tears in her eyes.
She heard Su He's voice when she just started crying, but she was emotionally broken at that time and had no mood to pay attention to this man. She thought that Su He had left after so long, but she didn't expect that he was still leaning against the door and looking at her quietly.
But, seeing that she was crying so hard, couldn't he come to comfort her?
How could he bear to see a beautiful woman squatting on the ground crying and remain indifferent?
This steel straight man!!
"What's the matter? Why are you crying like this?"Su He felt Lin Qingmeng's resentful gaze and couldn't help but chuckled and asked
"Key not found……"Her little mouth is slightly pouted, and she looks quite cute.
"Just for this?"Su He was stunned at first, then he almost laughed out loud.
""Hmph." Lin Qingmeng couldn't help but snorted when she saw his expression.
She stopped talking to him.
"Are you going to stay in the corridor all night?" Su He took two steps forward.
"None of your business!"Lin Qingmeng turned her head away in anger.
This straight man, instead of comforting himself, was gloating over other people's misfortunes.
It was so abominable!
"I bought some vegetables. Will they go bad if I don't eat them?" Su He picked up the bag of vegetables and meat next to him, then bent down slightly and reached out to Lin Qingmeng.
"What are you doing?" Lin Qingmeng stared at him with red eyes.
"I didn't have dinner either." Su He looked at her, his lips slightly raised
"What then?"Lin Qingmeng was stared at by him. The distance between them was so close that she felt a little flustered.
However, she could imagine what Su He wanted to say next.
Let her go to his house, and then he would cook for her.
Hmm.
A very good routine.
However, it was too outdated. Did he think that a meal could change his image in her heart?
""Get up, you can't get in anyway, let's go to my house." Su He said with a smile when he saw her expression changing.
A hint of shame flashed in Lin Qingmeng's eyes. Although she thought the same as her, should she give him a chance and go to his house?
Although those things had happened between the two of them, it shouldn't count when they were drunk, right?
And this man didn't remember that at all.
So apart from that incident, they were strangers to each other.
And he was just laughing at her and didn't even give her a hug!
No!
Lin Qingmeng, what are you thinking, why do you want this man's hug!
"Do you want to go?"
""Go!"
Su He was about to withdraw his hand, but Lin Qingmeng grabbed it.
Feeling the warmth of Su He's palm, Lin Qingmeng felt warm in her heart. After she stood up, she let go of her hand as if she had been electrocuted. Her earlobes turned slightly red, and she lowered her head and dared not look at Su He.
"Let's go." Su He reminded.
Lin Qingmeng hummed, and then slowly walked into Su He's house.
In her heart, she told herself that it was because she lost her key and had no choice but to follow this man into the house.
When she heard the sound of Su He closing the door behind her, her body trembled slightly.
Although it was not the first time she entered Su He's room, the previous time was to catch a cat, but this time it was because of this man's invitation.
"What are you standing there for? Go cook the rice. I'll wash the vegetables, and then you can fry them." Su He walked towards the kitchen with the bag.
"I cook?"Lin Qingmeng was stunned at first, then pointed at herself in surprise,"I also want to cook?"
She suddenly felt that she was fooled?
This man invited her to his house because he valued the vegetables she bought?
What's more, he actually asked her, who had just cried so miserably, to cook and cook.……
"I pay for the food, shouldn't you do the work?" Lin Qingmeng snorted
"I can't cook." Su He spread his hands and said confidently.
He was not lying. He knew how to cook fried eggs with tomatoes since he was a child, and sometimes the eggs would be burnt.
"Is that the reason?"Lin Qingmeng glared at Su He in anger.
Seeing that he was already washing the vegetables, she could only silently repeat in her heart,"Don't be angry with a straight man."
Who would have thought that this man invited her into the house just to let her cook for him!
He didn't even look at her straight in the eye, and just simply asked her why she was crying, without even saying a few words of comfort.
"Where is the rice?" Lin Qingmeng asked in a muffled voice.
Su He turned around and pointed to the cabinet next to him:"Oh, it's in the kitchen cabinet. I bought it when my mother came last year. It shouldn't be expired, right?"
Lin Qingmeng:"？？？"
……
The two of them worked together and soon prepared several side dishes.
Stir-fried water spinach, twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts, spicy stir-fried potato shreds, and a tomato and egg soup.
Although they were all home-cooked dishes, Su He ate them voraciously.
"The last time you cooked noodles, I knew you were a great cook!"Su He ate and gave Lin Qingmeng a thumbs up.
"Humph, of course." Lin Qingmeng was a little proud of Su He's praise. She was even less angry about Su He asking her to cook.
The happiest thing for anyone who likes to cook is to be praised for their cooking skills, and Lin Qingmeng is no exception.
"Come on, eat, why are you just standing there?"Su He finished a bowl of rice and got up to get another bowl from the kitchen.
Home-cooked food is always better than takeout. Su He felt that it was necessary to discuss with this new neighbor that he would pay for it and she would do the work, and they would eat together, so they wouldn't have to eat takeout every day.
"I... I'm not hungry." Lin Qingmeng still didn't like being alone with Su He.
After all, their relationship was very subtle. They were not strangers, friends, or lovers, but they had that outrageous and intimate experience.
She actually wanted to avoid Su He, and even decided to move out after her salary was paid this month.
But catching the cat before and the key missing this time caused her and Su He to be alone in this house.
"You cried so hard just now, how could you not be hungry? Don't be so restrained, just treat it as your own home."
Su He picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork for her and prepared to put it in her bowl.
"I...I can do it myself."
Lin Qingmeng picked up the bowl in panic.
Su He saw this and didn't care. He put the twice-cooked pork into his mouth,"Then you eat quickly"
"Um……"Lin Qingmeng hummed and began to eat the dishes in small bites.
A silence fell between the two.
Soon, Su He finished eating. He stood up, touched his stomach, and walked to the sofa:"Put it there after you finish eating. I'll wash the dishes later."
As he said that, he turned on the TV, then lay on the sofa and lit a cigarette.
Lin Qingmeng looked at him and didn't treat her as an outsider at all. A strange feeling flashed through her heart, as if they were the kind of life between lovers, or husband and wife?
Thinking of this, she shook her head violently, and then buried her head in eating.
The smell of cigarettes wafting from the living room made her frown. Her eyes saw the ashtray she bought on the coffee table, and she remembered the one that had been broken before.
"I'm sorry about the ashtray." Although she had already written an apology note, she still felt it was necessary to apologize in person. After all, the ashtray was given to him by his ex-girlfriend and he had used it for eight years. It must have a deep meaning in it.
"It's nothing, just an ashtray." Su He answered casually. He had completely forgotten the story about his girlfriend eight years ago.
"Um……"Lin Qingmeng stared at Su He who was lying on the sofa smoking.
In her heart, she thought that her neighbor seemed to be quite good.
If her things were damaged by strangers, and such meaningful things, she would have started to curse them a long time ago. However, he acted so calmly in order to comfort herself and not blame herself.
