Just then, the electric stove beeped, signaling that the water had finished boiling . Huo Mian immediately pushed Qin Chu aside and got up awkwardly .
"Um… the water's ready . Let's have hotpot . "
"Okay . "
Qin Chu's expression was filled with desire . He obviously wanted more but still listened to Huo Mian .
It was early autumn and a little chilly . The couple enjoyed a steaming meal of hot pot at home, their hearts warm with broth and each other .
Suddenly, Qin Chu's cell phone began to ring…
"What do you want?"
"I just got off work, let's go out for a drink . " Gao Ran was in high spirits .
"No . "
"Why not?" Gao Ran immediately became unhappy at Qin Chu's rejection .
"I already ate at home . "
"Oh, so you're spending time with the wife . I haven't had dinner yet, can I bum a meal off of you guys?"
"No," Qin Chu refused decisively .
"Hey, what kind of a friend are you? Think about it, I helped you and Huo Mian out a lot! Huo Mian was going to marry that ex-boyfriend of hers, who was busted hiring prostitutes . Did I or did I not call you at once, and create an opportunity for you guys? Then, I helped investigate that truck . Oh, and when Huo Mian got into that fight with the patient's family and was injured, didn't I call you right away too? I can't believe that you would burn bridges so soon! Are capitalists all like you?"
Gao Ran rambled on and on, softening up Qin Chu's determined attitude …
He looked at Huo Mian . She immediately asked, "Who is it?"
"Gao Ran wants to come here for dinner . "
"Yeah, he can come . "
Just as Gao Ran was about to thank Huo Mian, she said, "Let me call Lingling over as well . "
"Oh, hey, I just remembered that there's something urgent I need to deal with, I'll pass on dinner tonight . Maybe another time . Ha~"
Before hanging up, Gao Ran said to Qin Chu, "Qin Chu, you guys make a good couple, you're both evil . "
Then, he hung up…
Qin Chu laughed as he put his phone on the table…
"What are you laughing at?" Huo Mian looked at him, confused .
"Nothing . " Qin Chu didn't want to say .
The next day, Qin Chu had to catch the plane to go on a business trip, so he woke up early to leave .
As Huo Mian was eating breakfast, she suddenly remembered how disgusting the food at South Side cafeteria was and decided to pack her own lunch .
The patients' meals at South Side Recuperation Center were really good, because they paid for it themselves, and the ingredients were flown in fresh from the source .
However, the chefs at South Side, usually busy cooking for the patients, would often ignore the employees .
Huo Mian thought that their stir-fry tasted like pig food . Of course, she never had pig food before, but it was an educated guess .
To save time, Huo Mian made kimbap, which was a Korean-style of sushi . She also bought a jar of kimchi when she passed by the grocery store .
It was a perfect combination…
After spending her morning taking care of the patient in room 2, she brought her lunchbox out to the bench in the hall . She was just getting ready to dig in when Su Yu, who had just finished his post-rehab session, walked out from the other end of the hall with the help of his bodyguards .
Right away he knew that it was Huo Mian . Not because she was insanely beautiful; rather, it was because she was the only nurse who wore a baggy white uniform . The other nurses all wore short dresses, so that had to be her .
Ever since Su Yu was admitted, he had experienced a loss of appetite . He didn't like any of the food brought to him – seafood, stir-fry, dessert, or anything else .
Being stuck in bed all day irritated him so much that it spoiled his appetite .
A few of the female celebrities that belonged to his company were good at cooking and brought him home-cooked meals now and then, but Su Yu just threw everything in the trash .
However, just then, he saw Huo Mian sitting there, enjoying her lunch . He didn't know what she was eating, but it certainly spiked his interest and appetite .
When he passed by Huo Mian, he glanced at what she was eating . Each seaweed wrap was small, cute, and delicate-looking .
They were in the shape of little bears, and she used seaweed to make eyes and ears . They were adorable .
"What's that you're eating?" He was curious .
"Kimbap, it's Korean-style sushi," Huo Main answered without looking up .
"Give me one," Su Yu demanded .
"Don't even think about it . " Huo Mian looked up with a stern expression on her face .
