Chapter 874: Eating Loach Raw
Looking at Xian Qianling sleeping soundly in his arms, he suddenly felt a thought emerge in his heart, and lowered his head to gently touch her forehead, whispering softly, "Good night."
A simple "Good night," yet it swept away the gloom in Xian Qianling’s heart. Her slightly furrowed brows relaxed, and the corners of her lips curved into a pleasant arc; it seemed she was having a good dream.
The next morning, when Xian Qianling groggily got out of bed, she found that your figure was not in the bedroom. At that moment, she felt as though her heart had been hollowed out. She stood up in a daze and dejectedly walked towards the kitchen.
She had a habit, one that she developed during her early years in military school, of drinking ice water first thing in the morning to feel refreshed and dispel the grogginess from sleep.
However, when she entered the kitchen, she was stunned.
The kitchen table, always a mess before, was now cleaner than her face with a trace of drool on it. First, there was a thermos, a random purchase from a supermarket visit, that she had never used before. Next to it was a porcelain plate with fried eggs, beside which was a small dish containing stir-fried pickled mustard with edamame, and then there was a bowl full of enticing red bean and millet porridge.
There was also a very clean apple, under which lay a piece of paper.
Xian Qianling quickly walked over, pulled the paper from under the apple, and with just one glance, tears instantly welled up.
She covered her mouth, tears of happiness still escaping her eyes.
"Lazybones, you’re up, right? Let me tell you, it’s good for your stomach to drink warm water on an empty stomach in the morning to prevent constipation without causing it. You absolutely cannot drink ice water! So, I dumped the ice water in the fridge. I let the boiling water cool down a bit and added some to the thermos, guessing it wouldn’t scald you when you drink it. After drinking water, eat the apple first—I don’t know if you eat the peel, so I didn’t peel it. You girls probably need to take care of your skin, put on makeup, etc., so go do that after eating the apple, and then you can have the porridge. The edamame, I walked fifteen minutes to the market to buy them, freshly picked from a lady’s home garden, so you must finish them. The pickled mustard is just a side dish, don’t eat it, and make sure to finish the millet porridge to keep your energy up all day."
