Rebirth: Regaining Joyful Moments-Chapter 1177 - 1179: Scared Me to Death

Along the way, Li Xiuying chattered non-stop until they arrived at the place. It was a neighborhood of single-story houses, but it looked somewhat like a courtyard, with trees planted on both sides of the alley, creating a canopy of green.

Su Yan led her into the house, and Li Xiuying began praising everything in sight.

"Wow, the flowers and plants in this corner are really thriving."

"This furniture is nice, is it made of nanmu wood?"

"I like the style of the house decor, it’s just a bit cold." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Li Xiuying touched here and looked there, and upon arriving, she guessed that this must be where Su Yan lived daily, as it was very close to the hospital where he worked.

"The guest room has everything you need. If you want to take a shower, there’s hot water, and there are new clothes in the wardrobe," Su Yan said and immediately retreated to his room.

Li Xiuying went into the guest room and opened the wardrobe. Inside were plenty of clothes, all women’s. She figured that his sister must stay here occasionally. She picked out a red silk nightgown, which felt very smooth to the touch, and most importantly, compared to the other conservative nightgowns, this one was the most revealing, only exposing the shoulders.

After removing her makeup and changing into the nightgown, her stomach started growling. She draped her half-dried hair and began searching in the kitchen. Inside, it was empty; apart from noodles and eggs in the fridge, there was nothing else.

Li Xiuying took out the noodles and eggs, intending to make egg noodles. She wanted to show Su Yan that she, Li Xiuying, was adept both in the drawing room and the kitchen, and marrying her would be a bargain.

Unfortunately, the ideal was beautiful, but reality was cruel.

"Ah..."

While frying the eggs, Li Xiuying was startled by the splattering oil.

"What’s wrong?"

Su Yan had just finished showering, his hair still dripping. Hearing Li Xiuying’s scream, he quickly rushed over. Seeing her in a red nightgown standing by the kitchen, screaming, and with the pot on fire, he hurriedly turned off the stove and covered the pot. Soon, the fire went out.

"Wahhh, Su Yan, that scared me to death."

Seeing the fire extinguished, Li Xiuying’s tensed heart finally relaxed. She threw herself into Su Yan’s arms, wailing. This was the first time she’d encountered such a thing.

Su Yan stood there stiffly. He had delayed a bit when he went into the room, took a longer shower, and now, freshly showered, he was only wearing shorts, with nothing on top. The thin silk fabric on Li Xiuying felt almost non-existent, and he could clearly feel the softness of her body.

He stood rigidly, holding her shoulders, intending to push her away, but Li Xiuying was frightened and kept wiping her tears, so he could only gently pat her shoulders and comfort her, saying, "It’s okay now. The fire was too big, but it goes out quickly when covered."

"Why are you in the kitchen? Didn’t you have enough dinner?" Su Yan asked, lowering his head, as the faint scent on Li Xiuying continuously drifted into his nose. It was different from Xu Nianhua’s. Xu Nianhua’s scent was sweet and elegant.

Li Xiuying’s fragrance was stronger, yet not overwhelming, just like her, sweet and delightful.

"I didn’t get to eat dinner at all." Li Xiuying looked at Su Yan pitifully, counting on her fingers, "The wedding banquet tonight looked so nice, but I didn’t have time to eat anything."

Su Yan: "..."

"You want to eat egg noodles?" Su Yan glanced at the eggs and noodles on the counter, re-washed the pot, and said while frying the eggs, "You must dry the water in the pan before adding oil, otherwise, the oil will splatter everywhere. Also, when frying eggs, always use medium to low heat. If the heat is too high, the eggs will burn quickly."
