Chapter 1559: What Did Next Time Mean
Shi Xiaoya could not hide her surprise. She did not expect that Han Zhuoling actually liked spicy food.
Qin Zigou could not eat spicy food. When the two of them worked together sometimes, they would eat together as well, so she could only go along with him and eat non-spicy food, though eating it felt tasteless.
Xiang Nan was one of the areas in the country with the spiciest foods.
“As for vegetables, I don’t eat green bell peppers, green onions, broccoli, and yellow daylily. I don’t eat most mushrooms. Of course, if the smell of mushrooms can be covered, I will eat it. Same for fish. If there is a fishy smell, I won’t eat it,” Han Zhuoling said in a very detailed manner. “Just like the Sichuan fish tonight. That was not bad. The fish did not have a fishy smell so I could take it.”
Shi Xiaoya was dumbstruck from hearing that. She just wanted Han Zhuoling to name a few. Anyway, she had limited ingredients at home, so he could just say what he did not want to eat within this scope.
Who knew Han Zhuoling would actually give her such a detailed account?
She did not even have many of those things at home!
The fact that he did not like to eat them aside, even if he did want to, he would not be able to.
“I can only think of this much at the moment.” Han Zhuoling looked at her and said, “If I remember more next time, I’ll let you know.”
“Okay.” Shi Xiaoya was almost dizzy from all that Han Zhuoling had said and nodded her head in a silly manner.
She noticed something was wrong only after nodding.
What did next time mean?!
“Then I’ll just cook some noodles, alright?” Shi Xiaoya took out a box of choy sum and said, “There’s choy sum. Do you eat shiitake mushrooms? I’ll add a sunny-side up. If you like to eat chili, you can add a few drops of chili oil. As it’s night time already, don’t eat too much chili, or else you would feel your stomach burning while you’re sleeping.”
“Sure.” The satisfaction on Han Zhuoling’s face was so obvious; even the corners of his lips were curving up a little.
Shi Xiaoya heaved a sigh of relief. “Then you can go to the living room to sit and wait. You can watch television or something. The noodles will be cooked very quickly and will be ready in no time.”
Han Zhuoling nodded. When he walked to the door of the kitchen, he paused and asked her, “May I look around your house?”
“Sure.” Shi Xiaoya nodded generously. Anyway, even her bedroom was very neatly kept. There were no items awkwardly placed outside, such as lingerie or other such things.
She thought that Han Zhuoling would probably just go and take a look.
This situation was pretty much like a friend was visiting her house for the first time and definitely wanted to take a look.
She felt that Han Zhuoling was probably not the kind that would casually flip open drawers and cupboards in someone else’s home. How rude would that person be to actually do that?
Seeing that cold and aloof manner of Han Zhuoling’s, it did not seem to her like he was the very curious sort.
“Why don’t you show me around for a while?” Han Zhuoling added.
“But the noodles...” Shi Xiaoya saw that she had already taken out all the ingredients, but she had yet to put them into the pot.
“You can do it later, no worries,” Han Zhuoling said.
Shi Xiaoya thought to herself, wasn’t he hungry?
Now he was saying there’s no rush.
She grumbled in her heart, but she still did her part as a good host and showed Han Zhuoling around her house.
The good thing was that her house was not big. Shi Xiaoya brought Han Zhuoling to the living room as she explained, “My family was also worried that I would meet some unsafe incidents outside, so they decided to choose this area when buying an apartment for me. As I am the only one staying here, I didn’t choose a very big flat.
“But because of the nature of my job, I still needed a room for work, so I chose this three-room apartment with a living room and a dining room. The living room is as you see, there’s nothing much.” Shi Xiaoya was quite used to it.
But this was Han Zhuoling’s first time seeing such a warm and cozy place.
Usually, he did not really care about the decorations at home. As for his previous house in Europe, Xia Yixin was all about buying luxurious things, so most of the house gave off the vibe of a European palace.
