Chapter 56: The Last Supper?

  The dishes were arranged in a neat and orderly manner, with the colors distributed harmoniously. There was her favorite dish of bitter melon stir-fried with meat and sugar vinegar ribs. This visual feast stimulated her stomach to growl, and as she picked up her spoon to serve herself some rice, Ling Hao Yu helped pull out her chair and ordered her to sit down, "You sit down, I'll help you serve!"

  "Is this the last supper?" Gu Xi asked with some confusion.

  Right! Why do I have this feeling in my heart, and it's still so sad? If I leave here, I don't know when I'll have the chance to eat with such peace of mind again. Looking at him working hard to make a delicious meal, he's still enthusiastic about it. It's been a long time since I've had a good meal, hasn't it? Every time, either I'm in a bad mood, or I don't have an appetite, or I don't have the money to eat.

  The last supper? Given her current situation, it's really possible. No money, no job, what else could it be?

  "What are you daydreaming about? You have to come home on time every day, no matter how busy I am, I'll try my best to come back and cook. If I really can't make it, I'll ask Xiao Hui to come over, or we can go out and eat together!" Ling Hao Yu served her half a bowl of rice and another bowl of porridge, even putting the spoon in place for her, what a thoughtful man! ?? CEO's First Love: Ah Niang, don't be too naughty 56

  In her memory, there had never been such a wonderful scene. In the past, she often just ate something outside casually, if conditions were good, she would have stir-fried noodles or fast food, and if conditions were poor, she would gnaw on half a bun, which was also considered a day passed.

  "Oh." Gu Xi was taken aback by his sudden words and could only respond with another "oh".

  Ling Hao Yu noticed that she was speaking less, which would be a sign of an impending explosion. He didn't dare to continue talking too much, but still remembered to serve her dishes. After finishing dinner, the big project of washing dishes arrived. Gu Xi looked at him starting to clean up the tableware and said awkwardly, "I'll take care of washing the dishes!"

  She has been freeloading at the Ling's house, and Mr. and Mrs. Ling have been very kind to her. If she doesn't do something in return, she will feel guilty.

  "Don't touch anything greasy, go sit on the sofa. These bowls and chopsticks will be cleaned by Xiaohui tomorrow." Ling Haoyu looked at her as she was about to pick up the bowls and chopsticks and quickly refused.

  "Oh!" Gu Xi felt even more embarrassed after being rejected, what does this imply? It implies that she doesn't even know how to wash dishes, indeed she rarely washed dishes, but it's not like she never washed them at all!

  Looking back on our conversation earlier, what's wrong with her tonight? From start to finish, it was all just "oh", what else can you say? Has her IQ dropped or something?

  Ling Hao Yu looked at her walking aimlessly to the sofa and sitting down, suddenly feeling that she was very cute when listening to him. A brief night, they didn't talk about anything, but instead had fewer words than before.

  Gu Xi felt a bit tired, so she spent a few minutes washing up and then entered the room. Although it had new decorations, there was still a shadow in her heart. She stood at the door hesitating for a long time. "What's wrong?" Ling Haoyu came out of the room with his upper body bare and his lower body wrapped in a towel, his hair still dripping wet. He happened to bump into her and thought she was watching TV in the living room downstairs, so he handed her laptop over to her.

  "I'm so sleepy!" Her words were brief, her tone was flat, and her entire demeanor was listless.

  "Isn't it dazzling? Go to my room and sleep!" Ling Hao Yu completely couldn't distinguish his own identity, so he directly pulled her into the room, put the laptop on the desk, and Gu Xi followed him in stupidly.

  It wasn't until she lay in bed that she realized she had ended up in the man's bed. As he gently pulled the covers over her, she felt a strange sense of being controlled, as if everything was going according to plan.

  She leaned over, gazing at his captivating figure, and originally picked up the hair dryer to change to a towel. The way he carefully wiped his hair dry was really captivating, how come she hadn't noticed it before?

  Before long, I fell asleep and was awakened by pain in the middle of the night. My forehead was covered with sweat beads. I shook my head hard, turned over and woke up with a start. I saw Ling Haoyu sitting at the desk not far away, turning on the small table lamp to carefully review the piled-up materials.

  She was just about to get out of bed when she knocked over the phone by her pillow, "Can't sleep? Is it because I turned on the lamp and it's too dazzling?"

  "I couldn't sleep, it's unbearable!" Waking up with a start and reverting to her true nature, she clutched her stomach and prepared to head to the bathroom. This pain was really coming at the worst time, in the middle of the night when it was most frustrating.

  When it came out, there was a steaming cup of brown water that looked very familiar. It seemed to be the same medicine she had given Lin Xiaorong at the hospital today, with its unbearable smell still fresh in her memory.

  "Drink this medicine and it will relieve you!" Ling Hao Yu looked at her walking to the bedside, then picked up the cup of medicine and gently said.

  "Is this going to kill me?" Gu Xi guessed at the man beside him, he seemed to have the ability to see through people's hearts, and deliberately launched an attack on him. ?? CEO's First Love: Ah Niang, don't be too bad 56

  "How could this be? Hurry up and drink it down!" Ling Hao Yu didn't give her any room for discussion, directly sending the liquid into her mouth. Looking at her pained expression, this girl was really too careless with herself, getting involved in all sorts of vices like smoking and drinking, and not even paying attention to keeping warm.

  "Looked at you not feeling well today, so I called Dr. Zhang to help boil some medicine and had it sent over. Oh, and I got you something!" Ling Hao Yu took out a small wristband from the drawer, thin and simple in design but very elegant, with a little pig pattern on it that was somehow special.

  "What is this? I don't like wearing gold and silver!" Gu Xi said without carefully looking.

  "Last month when I was on a business trip in the US, I bought some materials and made it myself. Isn't it special? You wouldn't refuse something so worthless, would you? When I'm unhappy, stroking Pigu's head makes me wish for your appearance, and praying that you'll appear." Ling Haoyu said as he put it on her wrist, which was very small, making the small circle a perfect fit.

  "Do you believe in Jesus or are you superstitious?" Gu Xi's legs kept swinging back and forth as she stared at him sarcastically.

  "Believe whatever you want, just don't go around randomly plucking them off!" Ling Haoyu said seriously.

  "Is it? Then what's this?" Gu Xi asked mischievously as he plucked it off and dangled it in front of his eyes.

  "Wear it or not, it's up to you!" Ling Hao Yu looked at her smiling face with some annoyance, and after finishing speaking, he walked back to the desk and sat down again to continue working.

  Ahh!

  Gu Xi was just joking, but being scolded by him made her feel uncomfortable. She thought that someone like him would only give expensive gifts, and she couldn't accept them. But hearing Ling Hao Yu say it was something he made himself, not accepting it would be a bit too unreasonable.

  He secretly put it back on, suddenly feeling dry mouth and tongue, looking at the thermos beside him but hesitating to pick it up to pour water, perhaps because he was working beside him and didn't want to make any noise. So he carefully got out of bed wearing slippers and walked out quietly, even the sound of closing the door was very light.

  Rich people really know how to enjoy themselves, they don't even turn off the lights at night. When I went out onto the stairs, I felt like the first floor was shining brightly and there wasn't a hint of fatigue. She lazily fell onto the sofa and opened the TV, what kind of TV shows are on at night? A bunch of news that's really boring to watch, so she looked around for her phone, just remembering that she had put it under the glass table, how come she didn't see it?

  She tossed and turned for a few minutes, then lay back down in annoyance. She thought of what Ling Haoyu had said earlier and started stroking the little pig on her hand, saying "Little pig, little pig, where did my phone go?"

  Two minutes later, a familiar mobile phone stretched out in front of her. She reached out to take it, and just as she was about to lift her head to look up at him, he turned his back on her.

  He had already walked far to the first step of the stairs, and looked at the cup of steaming hot milk in front of him. It was really amazing! Was this thing so useful? Or was it just a coincidence? Gu Xi stared at the wristband for a long time, then went back up to the second floor and returned to Ling Hao Yu's room. As soon as he opened the door, he saw him reviewing documents again, but kept touching his forehead.

  She often shook her head and stared at the documents for half a day, when Gu Xi suddenly had an idea to make him a cup of coffee. She rarely drank coffee, and if she did, it was always ready-made. With some difficulty, she walked to the coffee machine on the first floor, looked at it for a while, and saw several bottles and jars next to it. After hesitating for a moment, she scooped out a few spoons of coffee, added hot water, picked up the spoon and stirred constantly until a small amount of foam appeared on the surface. Just as she lifted the spoon to taste it, the bitterness hit her heart.

  She looked at the can of white sugar next to her and scooped a few spoons into it without hesitation. This time, she tasted some sweetness, but the bitterness was still there. She couldn't help but think that those who liked drinking coffee really knew how to enjoy life.

  Her delicate hands were scalded red, she couldn't hold anything too hot, only to remember that the cup she was holding earlier was for drinking cold water and wasn't insulated. But she didn't want to throw it away either, so she endured for two minutes, her eyes welling up with tears before reaching the second floor.

  "Is she being so good to me? Won't she poison me?" Ling Haoyu clearly heard her footsteps, raised his head and saw a steaming cup of coffee, and was delighted in his heart.

  "Love to drink or not! Whatever you like!" Gu Xi continued to poke her left hand with her right hand, without lifting her head to talk to him, this time really scalding her skin.

  "You'd give me poison and I'd drink it, what's wrong with you? Let me see your hand." Ling Hao Yu just wanted to pick up the cup to take a sip, but it was scalding hot! This cup wasn't for drinking wine or cold water, was it? It was thinner than a coffee cup and didn't have any insulation. He put one hand on the table and heard Gu Xi poking at his hand from beside him, so he grabbed her hand.

  "Nothing... nothing!" Gu Xi said in a low voice as he pulled his hand away and turned to leave. ?? CEO's First Love: Ah, don't be too naughty 56

  "Idiot!" Ling Haoyu frowned and got up, walked to the windowsill, picked a piece of aloe vera, and sat down beside the bed. He looked at Gu Xi who was wearing earphones on both sides, seemingly listening to music, lying half-reclined on the bed with her legs still bent.

  "What are you doing?" Gu Xi felt a wave of coolness, she had always been afraid of heat but not cold, and with her earphones on, the sound was unusually loud.
