Chapter 645: Then I'll just wait and see

~4 min read 731 words

Even Fu Yan Cheng, who had just seen Guo Dajiang get his comeuppance, laughed: "Alright, you lot, just share and taste. Do you expect to eat your fill? Making such two huge porcelain basins of noodles, my fiancée must be exhausted."

In an instant, the few who had come to sniff the aroma and try the noodles all looked embarrassed. Feng Yunshan, the company commander, pulled a grain coupon from his upper shirt pocket: "You're right. Having eaten someone's noodles, we must show some appreciation, right?"

Seeing the company commander had made a gesture, the others couldn't remain indifferent either, so they all handed Fu Yan Cheng cloth coupons or other coupons.

A duty soldier, like Xiao Guo, responsible for delivering meals to several wounded in the adjacent ward, said: "Such delicious chicken soup noodles, it would be wonderful to eat them again."

Xiao Guo rolled his eyes at him: "What beautiful dreams are you dreaming?"

Fu Yan Cheng, sharp-eyed, spotted Liu Chuxue at the doorway and said to the comrades blocking the entrance: "Don't block the doorway; my Xue'er can't get in."

Hearing this, everyone at the door turned to look at Liu Chuxue.

To be precise, they looked at the lunchbox in her hand.

Startled by their expressions, Liu Chuxue heard Fu Yan Cheng say from inside the ward: "My Xue'er has been busy all noon and hasn't eaten yet; don't you dare set your sights on her lunch."

Hearing this, the few whose intentions had been exposed felt a bit embarrassed, but they were only thinking; they would absolutely never do something like snatching a female comrade's lunch.

The few who had eaten the chicken soup noodles all gave Liu Chuxue a thumbs-up: "Sister-in-law, your cooking is truly superb."

Since two people called her Sister-in-law, Liu Chuxue was too lazy to correct them again: "As long as you like it."

She resolutely did not say she would make it for them again next time; she didn't lack ingredients, but rolling out so many noodles was truly exhausting.

Walking over to Fu Yan Cheng's side, she said: "I can't eat all this; I'll share some with you."

Fu Yan Cheng knew her appetite: "You eat first; just give me the rest."

But Liu Chuxue was unwilling, resolutely insisting on portioning some out for him first.

This made the few at the door who hadn't eaten any noodles swallow their saliva.

Fu Yan Cheng really couldn't bear to watch and quickly waved his hand to send them away, lest they frighten his little woman further.

After Liu Chuxue gave more than half the noodles to Fu Yan Cheng, she finally sat on the chair Xiao Guo had prepared early on and began to eat slowly and deliberately.

One mouthful of noodles went down; it was truly fresh and fragrant. No wonder those people came following the scent. It seemed for the next few stewed meals, she couldn't add the space pool water directly, to avoid causing herself trouble.

She only needed to add some separately to Fu Yan Cheng's single bowl.

Fearing Liu Chuxue might feel uncomfortable, Fu Yan Cheng gave Xiao Guo a subtle look.

Before long, Xiao Guo had sent everyone from the other wards out.

Fu Yan Cheng looked at Liu Chuxue and said with some heartache: "You've worked hard, Xue'er. From now on, let Xiao Guo fetch meals from the canteen; you just keep me company and talk."

Liu Chuxue thought for a moment: "Xiao Guo can fetch the meals, but I will still personally stew a soup for you at every meal. To help the wound on your back heal quickly, we naturally need more nutrition for metabolism."

Seeing her speak so earnestly, Fu Yan Cheng felt as if a feather had brushed the tip of his heart; it itched so much he wanted to pull her into his embrace: "Xue'er, from now on, I will cook for you. When I have time later, I'll go to the kitchen squad to learn how to cook."

Liu Chuxue's eyes were full of laughter: "Then I'll just wait and see."

Fu Yan Cheng nodded with utmost seriousness: "I stayed in the kitchen squad for a while before. Though my cooking isn't exquisite, it's passable, but it can't compare with Xue'er's. Later, I'll learn Old Xu's signature dishes from him, and cook them for Xue'er in the future."
