Chapter 686 Taking a Bite in Tandem
Gilbert gave her a wry smile as if to say, “Look, you are the rascal, peeking at men taking a leak.” Kisa took a deep breath, then expressionlessly pulled back her gaze. She unwrapped the bread in her hand, then put it to her mouth and took a bite, only to find it tasteless. She rummaged in the bag again and found a cup of instant noodles.
When she left in the morning, she especially filled a cup of hot water in a thermos, and she had not drunk it yet, so it came in handy now for making noodles. She unpacked the noodle cup, threw in a few packets of seasonings, and then filled half of the cup with hot water. The thermos was small, and after using the hot water to make noodles, little water was left inside.
It was at this time that Gilbert came back. He did not get into the car but leaned against the door and smoked. Kisa put the rest of the snacks on his seat, so it was up to him if he wanted to eat them. A few minutes later, the noodles were ready. She uncovered the lid and just took a bite when Gilbert suddenly spoke.
“What are you eating? It smells so good.”
“Cup noodles,” Kisa replied without raising her head and then took another bite.
He bent slightly to look at her. “Is it good?”
“Have you never eaten cup noodles?” Kisa thought he was being a bit redundant in asking.
“Nope.”
‘Fine.‘ Kisa had nothing to say.
“Do you have any more? Get me a cup,” Gilbert asked again.
Kisa glanced into the bag and said, “There are still noodles, but there is no hot water.”
Gilbert had no words.
“Why don’t you eat the bread? There is quite a lot.”
Gilbert rummaged through the bag and finally took out a cup of noodles. “Give me yours.”
