“Knock, knock, knock.”
“Coming~”
When Nan Xuan heard the knocking, she put away the constant-temperature cover and quickly walked over.
She opened the door and saw the six men standing outside. A smile appeared on her face. She stepped aside and gestured for them to come in.
Xiao Beiyu led the others inside. They were careful not to look around too much. After all, this was a girl’s room, and they could not casually look at her things.
Nan Xuan closed the door, ran over, pulled out the chairs, and waved at them to come over and eat.
The entire group was stunned by the feast on the table.
Forget about whether they could eat it all. Just the aroma alone was already overwhelming.
Besides, they normally had hardly any time to eat a proper meal.
Xiao Beiyu’s eyes immediately lit up, and the corners of his lips unconsciously curled into a faint smile.
Everyone took their seats, still carrying a hint of awkwardness.
Nan Xuan ran to the kitchen, brought out the seafood porridge, and placed it in the center of the table. She also brought several sets of bowls and chopsticks along with disposable gloves.
“Come on, come on, come on! Try what I made~ How is it?”
“I used to really, really love cooking, but because of work, I didn’t even have time to cook for myself. I didn’t even have time to go out and have fun.”
As she spoke, she lightly pouted. Her fox-like eyes gazed at Xiao Beiyu expectantly.
Xiao Beiyu’s body stiffened. The tips of his ears turned slightly red.
The others immediately developed a hint of gossip in their eyes as they watched the two.
Nan Xuan sat down beside Xiao Beiyu and immediately began peeling crayfish for him.
Everyone at the table was stunned.
Xiao Beiyu was surprised for a moment as well.
Before he could say anything, a peeled crayfish was stuffed into his mouth.
He instinctively chewed.
His eyes suddenly lit up.
He turned toward Nan Xuan, his eyes seeming to contain an entire sky full of stars.
Nan Xuan smiled and asked, “Is it good?”
Xiao Beiyu nodded.
Then, worried that she might think he was being impolite, he answered very quickly.
“It’s delicious. I’ve eaten a lot of them before, but I’ve never had any that tasted better than yours.”
His handsome face turned slightly red after he finished speaking.
Nan Xuan smiled.
As long as he likes it.
Otherwise, she would not even know where to find delicious food after the apocalypse.
Good cooks would be hard to find in the apocalypse, especially truly talented ones.
There was still a real sense of accomplishment in knowing that her own cooking was delicious~
Seeing that their captain had started eating, the others also began digging in.
“Wow! This is way too delicious!”
“Sniff, sniff… How long has it been since I’ve eaten something this good?”
“I want to eat myself to death today.”
“Eh? Miss, you bought alcohol too?”
“Hmm? Seafood with beer! That’s the life!”
Nan Xuan’s smile grew even wider.
Although Xiao Beiyu had not said anything else, he had not stopped eating either.
Hahaha!
Today’s mission was a perfect score~
She would make more delicious food for him in the future.
Whatever he liked, she would raise it!
There would always be enough!
This guy was so easy to feed. He was not picky at all.
Even vegetables disappeared happily into his stomach.
Hmm…
Let me see.
He ate quite a lot of tomatoes.
He also liked Chinese broccoli.
He barely touched cauliflower, so maybe he did not like it.
He did not touch carrots at all, so he definitely disliked them.
As for seafood, he seemed to favor lobster.
That was easy.
She had plenty of lobster seedlings, and they had already grown large enough to eat.
He barely ate crab, but he really liked the crab roe fried rice.
He also liked the lobster porridge!
Got it. Remembered!
During the meal, everyone ate and drank.
After finishing the flavored beer, they started drinking liquor.
In the end, five people were sprawled across the table.
Only Xiao Beiyu still looked conscious.
Nan Xuan looked at Xiao Beiyu and thought:
This man isn’t just handsome. Even the way he eats is so attractive.
He eats so quickly, yet somehow still looks so refined.
Sigh… He’s so handsome~
Gradually, Nan Xuan’s gaze became softer and softer, as if the person in front of her were her lover.
“Why did you invite us to dinner? We only met today.”
When Xiao Beiyu spoke, his usual calmness was gone. His voice carried a slightly soft quality, and his eyes were hazy as he looked at Nan Xuan with a faintly dazed expression.
Oh.
So this guy had gotten drunk too.
Nan Xuan raised an eyebrow and sighed.
“Because I like you. You seem pleasant to me, so I wanted to be friends.”
She answered with a cheerful smile.
A smile appeared on Xiao Beiyu’s face.
The usual coldness was gone, replaced by a softer, gentler expression.
Combined with that handsome face, Nan Xuan’s mind was filled with only one thought.
Pin him down! Make him cry!
“Alright, you’ve all had quite a bit to drink. Can they still move? Should I help you carry them back?”
Nan Xuan looked helplessly at the five people lying all over the table, the corner of her eye twitching slightly.
Xiao Beiyu shook his head and stood up.
Because of the alcohol, he felt slightly dizzy, causing his body to sway.
Nan Xuan was startled and quickly stood up to support him.
When her soft little hand wrapped around his arm, his body suddenly stiffened.
Her hair swayed with her movement and brushed past him, carrying a faint tea-tree blossom fragrance.
It was light and delicate, yet somehow it made Xiao Beiyu feel even more intoxicated.
He did not know whether it was because of the alcohol or something else, but he felt even hotter.
After steadying himself, he thanked Nan Xuan.
Then he walked over and kicked each of the others once.
The men who had been kicked immediately sprang up and looked at the culprit.
Still half-conscious, they quickly stood properly, thanked Nan Xuan, and left the room.
Xiao Beiyu stayed behind to help Nan Xuan clean up the aftermath.
After everything was cleaned up, even his mind could no longer hold on.
He became increasingly dazed and dizzy.
Nan Xuan looked at the closed door of the room across the hall.
She knocked, but there was no response.
Her own room only had one bedroom.
She sighed.
In reality, she was thrilled beyond words.
She supported Xiao Beiyu into her room, took off his shoes and outer coat, and eventually stripped him down until he was wearing only his warm base layer.
After watching him drink a cup of honey water, she helped him lie down and tucked him in.
Then she left the bedroom and lay down on the sofa.
The smile on her little face never faded.
What she did not know was that after she left, the person on the bed opened his eyes.
There was a smile in his eyes.
Then he gave a self-mocking smile, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
Xiao Beiyu thought:
She is a friend, not an enemy…
Outside, Nan Xuan foolishly stared at the moon through the window.
She sighed happily to herself.
Ahhh, a drunk Xiao Beiyu is so cute.
He does whatever he’s told. Such a good boy.
I’m so happy today~
She stretched out comfortably, pulled the blanket over herself, and let out a satisfied sigh.
She rubbed her cheek against the pillow, hugged her little cushion tightly, and happily went to sleep.
In the silent night, in an unoccupied corner, two people with gray eyeballs slowly emerged as the moonlight scattered across the ground.
They walked slowly, continuously making hoarse “Hah… hah…” sounds.
