Jiang Yao slept until noon when Zhou Weiqi arrived with lunch. When she saw no one beside her, she subconsciously reached out to touch the space. It was already cold, which meant that Lu Xingzhi had left very early.
She did not know if he had slept or not.
“Jiang Yao, Lu Xingzhi had gone to work. He left a note for you.” Zhou Weiqi pointed at the note beside Jiang Yao’s pillow and gestured for Jiang Yao to read it. Then, he placed the lunch on the small table, and his chatterbox mode was activated again. “Lu Xingzhi instructed me to cook some noodle soup for you. I made duck soup that had been stewed for several hours. I put a lot of vegetables that you like in it and even fried an egg for you. What do you want to eat tonight? You can tell me. Chef Zhou will cook them for you.”
Zhou Weiqi’s cooking skills were excellent. Jiang Yao could smell the fragrant noodles just by sitting there. She could not help but laugh. “Your third brother is ordering you around again, Chef Zhou?”
“I do it willingly. I am here to serve my hero, Jiang Yao and give my blessings to her. My heart is filled with joy.” Zhou Weiqi, the sweet-talker.
As Jiang Yao listened to Zhou Weiqi’s joke, she picked up the note and looked at it. It was Lu Xingzhi’s handwriting. He told her that he had to go and settle some matters. He would be back that night.
After reading the note, Jiang Yao folded it and put it away. She looked up and was about to ask if Colonel Lin and the others had awakened when she saw Lu Xingzhi walking into the room.
“You’re back?”
Jiang Yao’s eyes lit up.
Lu Xingzhi acknowledged her and pushed Zhou Weiqi to the side. He picked up the noodles from the insulated box and placed them in a bowl for Jiang Yao.
“Jiang Yao, it’s a little hot. Be careful.” Zhou Weiqi, who has pushed aside, was not angry. He just stood there and reminded Jiang Yao that the noodles were very hot.
