The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 258: Gu Yuan Is Willing to Sink With Him

Those were a pair of narrow almond-shaped eyes, with the mask covering most of his face, only the eyes could be seen.

For those few seconds of eye contact, Lu Tinglou saw hostility in that man’s eyes.

Then, the door shut.

Lu Tinglou gave a slight chuckle, leaning against the doorframe, thinking how youthful arrogance is.

"Mugwort is here." Yao Tao had just finished climbing the last few steps and walked over to Lu Tinglou, seeing him leaning on the doorframe, she asked, "Waiting here?"

Lu Tinglou’s smile didn’t fade: "Yes, the capitalist doesn’t want to shoulder the burden of virtue, I feel too guilty having Sister Yao come over twice, so how could I wait for you to knock, just waited here instead."

"The capitalist still has some humanity." Yao Tao happily handed him the mugwort, "Every room has a basin, your room has one too, boil some water and soak the mugwort, when the water is the right temperature, soak your feet, after that sleep, and you’ll definitely have a good sleep."

Lu Tinglou took the mugwort: "Thanks, Sister Yao."

"No need to thank."

As Lu Tinglou prepared to go in, he caught sight of more mugwort in Yao Tao’s hands and thought of the man who had just returned, he asked offhandedly, "Is that for the room over there?"

"Yes, he moved in last night, went out early this morning, just came back now, don’t know if he’s eaten, probably hasn’t, I’m bringing him some mugwort."

Listening to Yao Tao’s words, Lu Tinglou nodded half-understandingly, and before closing the door said, "Sister Yao, rest early."

"Got it."

...

Gu Yuan was sitting on a chair soaking her feet, and because she was so tired, she accidentally fell asleep while soaking.

When she woke up, the water in the basin was cold, and seeing the time, it was already nearly midnight.

"How did I get so tired?"

Gu Yuan muttered to herself, rubbing her eyes and temples gently, taking her feet out of the basin, drying them, and putting on slippers. Feeling a bit thirsty, she went to pour water but found the kettle empty, having used it all for the foot soak.

Gu Yuan had no choice but to take a cup downstairs to get more water.

The corridor of the farmhouse, the stairs, and the big living room downstairs were all lit up at night.

Having just woken up from a nap, she felt much more awake, yawning as she walked down the stairs, poured some water to drink, feeling much better after quenching her thirst. As she was about to head back, she noticed the light was still on in the kitchen.

Who’s still in the kitchen this late?

Is it Yao Tao?

It’s almost midnight, if it’s Yao Tao, what’s she busy with?

Curious and not in a hurry to go back upstairs, Gu Yuan headed towards the kitchen with her cup.

There was steam in the kitchen, smoke rising from the stove, and the water in the pot was boiling, but the kitchen was empty.

"Is anyone there?" Gu Yuan called out. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

After waiting a few seconds with no response, Gu Yuan stepped inside and looked around the kitchen, still not seeing anyone. She turned to the stove where the water was boiling, the noodles were ready, and if not taken out soon, they’d get mushy.

Regardless of whether anyone was there or not, the noodles needed to be scooped out.

So, Gu Yuan rolled up her sleeves, used a ladle and chopsticks to take the noodles out of the pot, and placed them in a nearby bowl.

The bowl only had a little salt, soy sauce, sesame oil, no chili oil, the most of it was cilantro, apart from the strong cilantro taste, it was a simple clear broth noodle.

Seems like whoever this is likes cilantro.

Gu Yuan guessed it was probably a guest who got hungry at night and came down to cook some noodles, and they might have gone to the bathroom.

Not knowing when they’d be back from the bathroom, and not wanting the noodles to clump together, she added some more noodle broth into the bowl, then washed her hands, rolled down her sleeves, and left with her cup.

"Madam, why aren’t you asleep yet?" Yao Tao bumped into Gu Yuan as she returned from the bathroom.

"I came down for a cup of water, saw the kitchen light on, and whoever was boiling noodles in the pot, I took them out to prevent them from getting mushy," Gu Yuan explained, then went to refill her water.

After hearing, Yao Tao said, "It’s the guest in the corner room, he was out gathering material late, I told him to come down and cook if he wanted something to eat. I saw him cooking noodles when I got up to check on things, but he’s gone now."

Sister Yao had just come from the restroom and hadn’t seen anyone, so Gu Yuan said, "He probably went back to his room and should come back to eat later."

"Doesn’t matter whether he comes back or not, madam, you should go rest."

"Alright, Sister Yao, you rest early too."

Gu Yuan headed back upstairs.

It was quiet when she came down, but now going upstairs, it wasn’t so quiet anymore.
