Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie-Chapter 998: Sudden Kindness for No Reason

One person lay in the guest room all night, only falling asleep hazily as dawn approached.

When she woke up, she realized she was awakened by hunger.

There was a faint aroma of food lingering in the air...

She grabbed her phone and took a glance; the time displayed was eleven in the morning.

Zhang Lingying was instantly jolted awake and sat up with a jerk, hurriedly preparing to call the lab to ask for leave.

The call hadn’t gone through when her peripheral vision caught the date display on the phone screen.

Beneath the date was a line showing Saturday.

Zhang Lingying paused, laid back in bed again, and grabbed a pillow to cover her face.

Secretly cursing her foolishness.

She actually forgot there’s no work on weekends.

"Gurgle—"

Jobs have days off; stomachs do not.

Zhang Lingying couldn’t stay in bed any longer, and hunger drove her to sit up again.

Her muddled brain also started to clear up.

Firstly, she smelled the aroma of food but couldn’t be sure if she was just too hungry, imagining things.

Secondly, she remembered Lu Jing, who stayed over at her house last night.

She generously allowed him to use her room and even left her cat to keep him company.

"Meow—"

The soft meowing pulled Zhang Lingying back to reality.

She looked up towards the door.

The first thing she saw was Lu Jing dressed in homewear with an apron around his waist.

Then, she saw Little Mirror, perched on his shoulder, looking like a father and son.

Little Mirror truly understands the deep meaning of "one should speak less while being fed." Lu Jing bought it milk powder and cat toys; in Little Mirror’s heart, Lu Jing’s status is now equivalent to that of its father.

It doesn’t feel at all that its fawning behavior will make its old mother jealous.

"If you’re awake, go brush your teeth and wash your face first. I’ve made food; it’s ready to be served. I’ll go pour you a glass of warm water," Lu Jing said, then turned back to the kitchen with the cat on his shoulder.

Zhang Lingying had no time to react and was somewhat dazed.

Following his instructions to freshen up, by the time she was ready and reached the dining room, Lu Jing was coming out of the kitchen with goat milk prepared for Little Mirror.

Seeing her, he smiled.

"I just fried some dishes randomly; see if they suit your taste."

He placed the cat on the ground, letting Little Mirror drink the milk on its own. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Casually pulling out a chair to sit next to Zhang Lingying.

With long, slender fingers, he picked up some chopsticks and placed a piece of meat on her plate, asking gently, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Zhang Lingying: "..."

Zhang Lingying looked in surprise at Lu Jing who kept smiling at her, showing no sign that he had been as crazed last night.

The scene described by the assistant as one of desolate madness seemed like an illusion; the Lu Jing before her was clearly living positively.

He even woke up early to feed the cat and then cooked for her.

Zhang Lingying looked down at the sweet and sour ribs he had served her, the rich color invitingly appetizing.

A quick glance at the dishes on the table revealed they were all visually and aromatically appealing.

Suddenly, she felt she had underestimated Lu Jing’s culinary skills; had she known he was this good, she wouldn’t have always thought of taking care of him and should have tricked him into cooking for her every day.

No, that’s not the point.

The main point is that yesterday he was cursing at her, complaining she didn’t come home and took away his cat son.

Now, he’s suddenly treating her so well; he can’t be planning to poison her to take away her cat...

Zhang Lingying fixed her stare on the sweet and sour ribs in her bowl, afraid to make a move!
