Chapter 55: I Want to Eat the Noodles You Make

On the way back, the two rode their horses at a leisurely pace.

The breeze brushed against Su Wan’s face, dissipating her fatigue and bringing a sense of comfort.

She squinted slightly, particularly enjoying this moment of tranquility.

Zhao Wei looked at her lazily swinging the horse whip, with her eyes faintly showing fatigue. He couldn’t help but recall her time in the Marquis Mansion, where she didn’t need to struggle for a living and only needed to attend banquets at various mansions, leading a carefree life.

Despite the drastic changes and disparities in life, she didn’t become negative. Instead, she adapted well to this lifestyle, becoming more vibrant and radiant.

“How is the progress of the wound medicine?” Zhao Wei broke the silence.

“It can be delivered to you in half a month.” Su Wan yawned tiredly, and looked at the nearby medical hall, her spirits slightly lifted.

“Do you know about the poisoning of Duke of Dingyuan?” Zhao Wei pulled the reins and dismounted with Su Wan.

“I know. It can’t be cured.” Su Wan showed impatience in her eyes, and glanced at him sideways, “Don’t mention him in front of me in the future.”

Zhao Wei chuckled, took out a silver coin from his sleeve, and tossed it to Su Wan, “Consultation fee.”

Su Wan caught it, then put it in her sleeve pocket. She took out a bottle of wound medicine and threw it to Zhao Wei, reminding him, “This wound medicine is for the military doctor to change the dressing for the deputy general. Pay close attention to his condition within twelve hours, beware of him having a fever, and the wound festering. If there is such a situation, tell me immediately.”

“Okay.” Zhao Wei stood still.

“Wanwan, a guest is here, won’t you invite General Zhao in for a cup of tea?”

Gu Huaizhi calmly came out from the medical hall, and stood next to Su Wan. He looked at her with lukewarm eyes, then suddenly raised his hand to brush her wind-blown hair lightly behind her ears, “Mother said you didn’t eat lunch, are you hungry?”

Su Wan was stunned. The bright daylight shone on his clear and handsome face, showing a different kind of gentleness. His cool fingertips brushed across her forehead, and her skin was faintly hot.

She gritted her teeth secretly, this dog man is starting to act up again!

Want to play, right?

“Hungry, are you going to cook noodles for me?” Su Wan raised her eyebrows and smiled, challenging him, “I really want to eat the Yangchun noodles you make.”

Gu Huaizhi was surprised, but accepted the challenge, “Doctor Zhou just made chicken soup, I will cook noodles for you.”

He turned his head to look at Zhao Wei, his eyes filled with helplessness, and said, “General Zhao, I will entertain you another day.”

Zhao Wei: “……”

He glanced at Su Wan, just in time to see her rolling her eyes at the sky, with a hint of laughter in her eyes, “You guys are busy, I have things to do.”

Zhao Wei rode away.

Su Wan hummed lightly at Gu Huaizhi, she didn’t take his words seriously at all, and went to her room in the backyard to sleep.

Gu Huaizhi looked at her back, the smile at the corner of his mouth disappeared, and he went to the backyard.

Su Wan lay on the bed, tossing and turning. She unable to fall asleep for half an hour, she simply got up, and ready to refine the wound medicine.

With a “creak”, she opened the door.

She suddenly saw a person standing at the door, her heart jumped with fright. Just about to glare at the culprit, a strange fragrance drilled into her nose, only then did she see Gu Huaizhi holding a bowl of noodles in his hand.

Su Wan looked at the thin noodles in the white porcelain bowl that soaked in golden chicken soup. A handful of tender green vegetables and a poached egg lying next to it, sprinkled with finely chopped green onions. Just the appearance was enough to make people’s mouths water.

She gently sniffed. The fragrance of oil and green onions permeated her lungs, she licked her lips.

Hungry……

Gu Huaizhi’s voice was clear and melodious as he said, “Don’t want to eat?”
