Chapter 23 Tomato Beef Noodles

  The lights in the living room were turned off, and only the shadows of the curtains swayed on the floor. The cat lowered its head. Making sure there was no one else's shadow, she turned around, pulled the door shut, and the "creak" sound was very clear in the quiet environment. She regretfully patted her forehead, lightened her hand movements, and continued slowly.

  The moonlight shines through the glass, illuminating the entire living room. If it were a normal time, she would have admired the spaciousness and luxury of the room. But after turning back, she felt even more anxious and helpless. Originally, her actions were stealthy, but now with such a long distance to the kitchen, she had to cross the hall. She couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't bump into something and make a noise.

  Feeling way forward in the moonlight.

  There is a plank ahead, okay, slowly move it away and continue moving forward.

  What's this? It feels cool to the touch!

  Continue feeling down, oh, it's still a waist!

  Delicate and dense floral patterns covered the surface.

  Touching it, there's a bottleneck, probably a vase, and it's quite big.

  She finally arrived at the kitchen with caution, plopping herself down on a chair beside her, panting heavily and clutching at her chest. It seems being a spy isn't easy either. I'll have to tell Cai Cai when I get back not to sneak into Zhang Si's dormitory for dates with Xiao Bai again; the cost is too high! The mental burden is also huge!

  Feel at ease in lifting your feet, but still uneasy in the dark, it's better to end the battle quickly.

  Her keen sense of smell and foodie's sixth sense allowed An to sniff out the location of the refrigerator in no time. She saw the fridge in front of her and nodded in satisfaction. Opening the top layer, a plethora of food entered her field of vision.

  Her eyes were red with excitement as she stared at the layers and layers of food.

  However, he soon pouted. Zhu Bajie

  There's hardly anything edible in here, it's all raw!

  Relax, he's just putting away so much raw meat in the fridge. Can't you understand that it's for snacks?

  She opened the drawer, rummaged through it, and pulled out a shiny red apple. She took a big bite, and juice flowed everywhere. She switched sides and took another bite, her cheeks moving quickly as she chewed, swallowing with satisfaction. "It's so comforting," she whispered to herself, "the apples on the street outside the school gate are always so bad-tasting, and they rip me off every time." This apple must be worth a lot of money - it's so tender and delicious!

  Put the apple in your mouth with peace of mind and continue searching for things with your hands.

  Suddenly, with a "pia" sound, a white light burst forth all around.

  She felt her heart skip a beat.

  Behind her, Qiao Ran reported with a good arm and looked at her leisurely, asking in a low voice, "Is it delicious?"

  She was so frightened that her mouth opened wide, and the shiny red apple fell out of her mouth. It rolled around with a "gululu" sound, and coincidentally rolled to Qiao Ran's feet.

  She swallowed hard, squeezed out a smile that was even uglier than crying, touched the back of her head and turned around, lowering her head, with an awkward voice, "Apples are delicious." And also sent out a few silly laughs.

  Qiao Ran took two steps forward, passing by her, and skillfully took out two tomatoes, a piece of beef, and a bag of noodles from the refrigerator, placing them on the table. Then he closed the refrigerator door, "This is not an apple, it's a snake fruit."

  It's embarrassing! A foodie who can't even recognize what they're eating, how humiliating! She wants to dig a hole and bury herself!

  "What is Miss Anxin doing in my kitchen so late at night?" Qiao Ran's voice was absolutely freezing, leaving Anxin speechless.

  "This... because... I, since I'm thirsty, wanted to find some water to drink, so I ran into the kitchen." Ah~ Finally found an excuse, otherwise it would be really embarrassing if he saw through me.

  Qiao Ran looked at him suspiciously, turned around and took something to the counter, turned on the faucet to start washing tomatoes, took out a knife, cut the tomatoes into small pieces, and said clearly, "The water is not in the refrigerator, it's in the water dispenser. The water dispenser is not in the kitchen."

  He was shocked! Just now he was wondering why he took these things.

  He even cut up some tomatoes and took out beef and noodles.

  Now seeing his skilled movements she understood, could it be that he can cook?!

  Wow, what a rare thing in the world! Nowadays, there are not many men who can cook, let alone someone with wealth and power, who is basically not supposed to enter the kitchen.

  It seems that Qiao Ran is actually a homebody.

  But after all the praise, she still had to save face.

  Smoothed out his bangs, he continued to lie with a calm mind, "I like drinking iced water."

  Qiao Ran cut the beef into small pieces, his tone calm and unruffled. "Oh~ I thought Miss An was looking for something to eat earlier. I think we both didn't have anything to eat when we came back tonight, so let's make something to eat. But it seems like Miss An is fine with just drinking water, no need for anything else."

  Which ear did you hear me say that drinking water is enough? I'm starving to death on the beach, can't you see that my chest is sticking to my back? However, it's tolerable, but she also has her pride.

  With a faint smile, revealing her white teeth, she rubbed her two rows of teeth together, fantasizing that Qiao Ran was just a piece of fat meat in front of her eyes, and she wanted to chew him into powder, mash him into mud. With a stifled opening of her mouth, "Ah, I've always had a small appetite since childhood, drinking some water would already fill my stomach."

  Alas, this water flows down the esophagus into the stomach and then into the intestines, now stored in **, waiting to be excreted.

  Qiao shook her head with a hint of annoyance, waving the knife, "Actually, the beef tomato noodles taste great, I didn't know your stomach was so small. So I'll make less, to avoid wasting food that you can't finish eating." She pretended to put half of the beef back into the box.

  The anxious comfort in my heart, how I want to grab his hand, trembling hands grasping back the beef, loudly telling him, "I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry, give me this beef, I promise, I won't let it go to waste, really, I'll stake my restless youth on it!"

  "What are you still doing? Hurry up and rest." The tone suddenly changed, "Don't forget what I said earlier, tomorrow morning, I hope..." Leaving behind a hint of mystery, he turned around to continue cooking the tomato beef noodles.

  Qiao turned on the electric stove, added a little oil, and waited for it to heat up. Before long, the pot of oil "sizzled" as tomatoes were added, releasing a sweet fragrance that made her sniff greedily, almost swooning from the aroma!

  She swallowed hard and stood behind Qiao Ran like a ghost, without moving an inch.

  Qiao Ran put the well-made tomato sauce on a plate, washed the pot, poured oil in it, and then used a spatula to scoop the beef particles from another plate into the pot.

  "Gurgle, gurgle", accompanied by the beef falling into the pot, a strange sound came.

  Qiao Ran's hand holding the spatula paused for a moment, and he chuckled softly as he continued to stir-fry the beef.

  Her face turned red with embarrassment, this uncooperative belly of hers. She hastily observed Jiao Ran, who didn't move, and thought to herself, "Good, good, he didn't hear it, probably because the sound of the oil pot was too loud." If he had heard it, that would be another huge embarrassment for her. She was most afraid of losing face, she could lose anything else, so every time something embarrassing happened, the first thing she did was to see if anyone saw it, and if no one did, she immediately pretended as if nothing had happened, continuing on with an air of complete naturalness.
