When Violet woke up, it was already the middle of the night.
Stanley had been sitting by the bedside to keep watch over her.
Seeing her wake up, he immediately brought a glass of water over.
Violet happened to be thirsty, and when she saw the water he brought, her heart warmed, "Thank you."
She smiled and took it, taking a sip that was slightly sweet, "There's sugar in it?"
"With honey." Stanley replied.
Violet held her glass of water, "It's quite good."
"Are you hungry?" Stanley asked again as he stroked her sleep-disheveled hair.
Violet nodded, "A little."
She couldn't eat before the surgery, so she'd been fasting until now and had been hungry for a long time.
"Wait." Stanley got up, and went downstairs.
Soon, he returned, carrying a tray.
The tray held a bowl of steaming noodles, topped with a few green cabbages and green onions, which made her feel appetizing to look at it.
Violet laughed, "The maid downstairs actually knows how to make noodles in our country?"
It was incredible.
And she thought that the maids would only cook western food.
"I made it." Stanley spoke.
Violet froze for a moment and looked at him in surprise, "You made it?"
Stanley nodded.
Violet was surprised and smiled, "You can cook?"
"No." Stanley shook his head.
Violet blinked, "Then how ......"
"I searched for a tutorial online, it's pretty simple." Stanley answered lightly.
The corners of Violet's mouth twitched, and she was left speechless.
Well, in this world, there was this kind of genius learned fast.
Calvin was such a person too.
"Eat, how does it taste?" Stanley handed her the chopsticks.
Violet took it and was going to bring the bowl over.
But Stanley nonetheless said that she had no strength, and that he was just fine to carry the bowl.
Just like that, Stanley held the bowl while Violet held the chopsticks, picking up a few noodles and putting them into her mouth.
"Well?" Stanley looked at her, a touch of imperceptible tension in his eyes.
Violet licked her lips, her eyes glowing as she nodded, "Delicious."
Stanley smiled with faintly hooked lips, "That's good, eat then."
Violet continued to pick the noodles. They were a little hot, she picked them up and blew on them a few times, suddenly she thought of something, looked at him and asked, "Have you eaten?"
Stanley was about to reply that he had eaten, but his belly growled.
Stanley's face instantly darkened, feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Violet laughed, "Honey, you're so cute, I thought you were really a god, everything is perfect, but you are embarrassed now. Good, you are not as unapproachable as usual."
To her, such a Stanley was like a real living person, a flesh-and-blood person.
"Alright, eat up." Stanley looked at Violet's smiling, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
Violet put the noodles on her chopsticks and then passed it to his mouth, "Eat it together, if you don't mind that the chopsticks are used by me."
She looked at him, waiting for him to open his mouth.
Stanley lowered his eyes to look at the noodles, then raised his eyes to look at the expectant woman, finally opening his mouth and eating the noodles.
