Chapter 720

"I bought it at the supermarket a couple of days ago; it's a new flavor. When I was little and took the train to Jing City, I would always prepare instant noodles for the journey. The green-skinned train would chug slowly toward Jing City, and back then, my brothers and I all thought instant noodles were simply the most delicious thing in the world."

While Shu Xia waited for the water to boil, she and Qiao Muting chatted casually about everyday things.

Qiao Muting leaned to the side, his posture relaxed and casual, "I've never had them."

"You... have never taken a green-skinned train?"

"Mm."

Shu Xia was a bit surprised at first, but then she immediately thought about how Qiao Muting had been raised in the lap of luxury since childhood, a noble son of a wealthy family; he traveled either by private car or airplane, and in recent years, it had all been high-speed rail or bullet trains, so it was perfectly normal that he had never taken a green-skinned train.

"When there's a chance in the future, we'll go experience it together. I guarantee it will let you feel the atmosphere of the human world; it's just... a very down-to-earth feeling," Shu Xia said with a smile.

The water had just boiled, and she slowly poured it into the noodle cups.

A scent of instant noodles wafted through the kitchen.

She tilted her head to look at Qiao Muting, her eyes curved into smiles, bright and clear like crescent moons, "Does it smell good?"

Qiao Muting's gaze was deep; he couldn't look away from Shu Xia's face, and his throat bobbed, "It smells good."

It was the scent of multiple additives; if he had smelled it in the past, he definitely would have frowned and looked away.

But now, he felt this scent carried a warmth that slowly seeped into one's heart.

In the dead of night, one's thoughts always slow down, yet they also take some unusual leaps.

The noodles smell good, and the person is even more fragrant.

Qiao Muting suddenly didn't want to eat the noodles; he only wanted to get Shu Xia into bed.

"Wait a few minutes," Shu Xia glanced at the time.

Qiao Muting gave a hum, his eyes lowered, though he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Shu Xia suddenly thought that today's instant noodles were missing a bit of soul, so she immediately rummaged through the cabinets.

Finally, she found a few ham sausages.

She knew she wouldn't have forgotten to buy grilled sausages when she bought the instant noodles; these were the absolute soulmate of instant noodles.

A few minutes later, Shu Xia brought out two steaming bowls of instant noodles.

"Hurry and try it. I added ham sausage inside. Actually, it's just a very cheap starch sausage with not much meat, but it's really fragrant when put in instant noodles," Shu Xia said with a beaming smile.

"Looks not bad, I'll try it," Qiao Muting didn't hold much hope.

But under Shu Xia's expectant gaze, he took a bite.

Mm, it's alright.

But the words that came out were different, "Delicious."

It was as if stars were shining in Shu Xia's eyes, "I told Youyou wouldn't be disappointed. But you can't eat instant noodles often; they don't have much nutrition. Eating them occasionally to find some memories is quite nice."

"Mm."

Qiao Muting thought to himself that if it were anyone else sitting across from him, he definitely wouldn't have taken a single bite.

The two of them ate the instant noodles in silence.

After eating the noodles, just as the two were about to go upstairs to shower, Qiao Muting received a phone call.

"Steward Qin?"

When Shu Xia heard it was Steward Qin, she looked toward Qiao Muting.

At this hour, why would Steward Qin be calling Qiao Muting?

Could it be that something happened to Qiao Nainai?

After listening to Steward Qin's words, Qiao Muting's expression changed. After hanging up, he said to Shu Xia, "Grandmother suddenly felt uncomfortable in her heart and just went to the hospital."

Shu Xia's expression changed along with his, "Let's hurry to the hospital."

How could Qiao Nainai's heart suddenly feel uncomfortable?

Hadn't Qiao Nainai's health been much better lately?
