BXBX NOVEL Chapter 82
“You haven’t even had breakfast. How can you not be hungry?”
Without waiting for Xiao Juan to answer, she continued to persuade him.
“As the saying goes, a person is not made of steel. If you don’t eat, you’ll be hungry. Your body is so precious. You can’t starve, or your heart will ache.”
Xiao Juan was silent.
Why did this woman’s sweet words come out of her mouth so effortlessly? Won’t she feel embarrassed?
Yu Niaoniao opened the food box and took out a small white porcelain jar first.
She placed the small jar in front of the man.
“This is your stomach medicine. You forgot to bring it with you when you went out. Sister Xiuyan asked me to bring it to you.”
Xiao Juan opened the small jar and poured out two pills. He threw them into his mouth and swallowed them expressionlessly.
Yu Qianqian then brought out a porcelain bowl and two light and refreshing dishes.
She opened the china cup, revealing the chicken soup porridge inside.
The porridge must have been cooked for a long time. It had already been cooked out of rice oil. It was very sticky.
Yu Niaoniao urged, “These are your breakfast. Please eat them while they’re hot.”
Looking at the food, Xiao Juan knew that it was made by the chefs in Lanjun Imperial Palace.
He looked away without much appetite and picked up the case again.
“I don’t want to eat for the time being. Let’s put them aside.”
Seeing that he really did not want to eat, Yu Niaoniao rolled her eyes and suddenly asked.
“Do you still have the little cookies I gave you yesterday?”
Xiao Juan subconsciously looked at the drawer beside him and asked, “Why are you asking this?”
Yu Niaoniao said, “If you really don’t want to eat breakfast, please have some of the cookies. No matter what, please eat something. Don’t starve yourself.”
Xiao Juan was already used to hatred, resentment, anger, and other negative emotions. Suddenly, someone was so concerned about him that he did not know how to deal with it.
He could only pretend not to hear anything and continue reading the case file in his hand.
Seeing that he did not appreciate it, Yu Niaoniao was quite unhappy.
“Forget it if you refuse to eat.”
With that, she stood up and ran out without looking back.
Xiao Juan’s gaze moved away from the case and looked at her departing figure. His thin lips were pursed tightly.
Had he disappointed her?
Actually, that was normal.
She and he were not from the same world.
Logically, he knew that this small matter was not worth mentioning, but he did not feel very comfortable.
He could not look at the dossier in his hand anymore.
Xiao Juan had no choice but to put down the dossier, pick up the teacup, and finish the remaining half of the cold tea.
The cold tea entered his throat but did not suppress his chaotic thoughts.
His gaze still strayed involuntarily to the door.
He wanted to see how Yu Niaoniao was doing.
He hesitated for a long time.
In the end, Xiao Juan chose to stand up.
But in the next moment, he saw Yu Niaoniao return.
She was carrying a teapot.
Xiao Juan immediately sat back down and asked nonchalantly.
“Where did you go just now?”
Yu Niaoniao shook the teapot in her hand. “Il went to make tea for you.”
She picked up the teacup in front of Xiao Juan and poured away all the cold tea inside, replacing it with hot honey black tea.
“Your stomach is weak. Don’t drink cold tea. This honey black tea is good for your stomach. You’re better off drinking this.”
Xiao Juan looked at the teacup placed in front of him.
In the white porcelain teacup, pale red tea liquid emitted white mist.
He picked it up and tasted it.
It was sweet and warm.
Even the slight discomfort in his heart was dispelled.
Yu Niaoniao pushed the china cup closer to him and looked at him expectantly.
“Have some, will you?”
Xiao Juan looked into her eyes and replied softly, “Yes.”
