love, don't bother

==============

Sitting at the dining table, Yu Ci traced the dark lines on the milky white marble with the index finger of his left hand, but he didn't know what to draw after just drawing.

The gurgling sound of boiling water and the sound of "tuk-tuk-tuk" being cut on the chopping board can be heard next to my ears.

I don't know how many times Yu Ci looked back into the kitchen with the door ajar. He was not a very curious person, but this time he was really aroused by Noel.

Although Nuoer wakes up early to make breakfast recently, most of them are simple Western dishes such as toast, sandwiches and vegetable salads.

To be honest, Yu Ci doesn't really believe that this young man who has only been in China for a few years can cook Chinese national dishes well.

Yu Ci stood up against the table, wanted to go to the kitchen, but stopped after taking two steps.

When he came back, Yu Ci offered to help, but Nuo Er refused. He gently pushed Yu Ci's back and sent him to the study, coquettishly letting Yu Ci do his own thing first, and he prepared the dinner Come call him.

Before closing the door and waiting for Yu Ci to turn on the laptop, the door of the study opened again, and a golden head poked in, mysteriously telling Yu Ci not to go to the kitchen until he came to call.

Yu Ci's curiosity was only one point at first, but it was turned into four points by Nuo Er's words.

The work couldn't be done anymore, so Yu Ci simply changed into soft home clothes and went downstairs to the restaurant to wait.

The dining room and the kitchen are only separated by an antique white carved wooden door with double doors. I don’t know whether Noel forgot or believed that Yu Ci would not peep, but it was not closed tightly, leaving a gap in the middle.

And this gap made it easier for Yu Ci to observe the situation in the kitchen at this time. He took two steps in the direction of the door gap, picked an excellent angle, and comforted himself that this was not a violation, and he didn't go in again. Just look.

The light in the kitchen is warm, and Noel is standing on the island cutting vegetables, and the soft light shines on his whole body.

Yu Ci's eyes fell on him, which was the same style as her own, except that the light gray home clothes that were two shades lighter, and the sky blue apron printed with bunny patterns that she just bought at the supermarket, felt a little absent-minded for a moment.

He took a deep look at the beautiful and incredible Noel, dazzled by the soft light, and turned around, walked back to the table and sat down.

This time, Yu Ci never left his chair until Nuo Er came out of the kitchen with the prepared dishes.

He lowered his head and looked at the lines on the table, seeming to be studying the direction of the lines seriously, but in fact those light brown eyes were empty.

Yu Ci didn't know how long he was in a daze, but the light fragrance and Nuo Er's surprised voice brought back his mind from wandering somewhere.

He looked up in a trance, and the blond young man with a bright smile in front of him urging him to taste the dishes, immediately overlapped with the young man who was standing under the soft light and focused on cutting the vegetables, with a smile on his lips.

A strange emotion suddenly surged in Yu Ci's heart. It was a soft emotion that he could not describe well, bit by bit eating away at his frozen heart.

Yu Ci knew in his heart that he should stop it, if the ice melted, he would lose control to the point where he couldn't even control it.

Yu Ci hates everything that gets out of control.

But Nuoer smiled and handed Yu Ci a pair of chopsticks, "I see that Mr. Yu usually eats light food, so I found a few vegetable recipes to learn from. Try it and see if it tastes good?"

Holding the chopsticks in his hand, Yu Ci looked at the lotus root slices, yam broccoli beans, lily shrimp, and cashew nuts and corn kernels laid out in front of him on the bone china plate with a golden swan, and then went to Nuoer, as if he couldn't believe the color and fragrance. The complete dishes were made by the young man in front of him.

"It's all, you did it?" Yu Ci couldn't hold back, and asked anyway, with surprise in her tone.

Noel rested his chin in both hands, tilted his head, and blinked his eyes twice cutely, with light spots jumping on his eyelashes.

"Yeah, it's all made by Nuo Er. Mr. Yu, try the dishes quickly and see if it suits your appetite."

Under Nuo Er's urging, Yu Ci finally dropped the chopsticks and picked up a thin piece of yam and put it in his mouth.

Yu Ci suddenly found that he had prepared a full stomach to cheer him up, and he didn't need to cheer him up. The youth's craftsmanship didn't need his own compliments. It was really delicious, at least not better than the famous vegetable dishes in Meishi that he had eaten before. The restaurant is poor.

"Is it delicious?" Noel's eyes kept falling on Yu Ci's face, carefully observing the changes in Yu Ci's expression, seeing his Adam's apple rolling twice, he asked with a smile.

No matter how you look at it, there is a little bit of showing off in that bright smile, as if you already know that you will be praised.

There was a helpless smile in Yu Ci's eyes, and it seemed that the compliments he had prepared temporarily were useless.

He nodded, and his lips curled into a smile, "It suits my taste, thank you Noel for working so hard to prepare dinner."

Nuo Er's blue eyes lit up "bass", and he shook his head vigorously, excited like a big golden retriever praised by his master, lively and lively.

"No hard work, no hard work! As long as Mr. Yu likes it!"

Nuo Er's smile suddenly faded away, his blue eyes were filled with caution, he pursed his lips, and moved his hand towards Yu Ci's hand on the table. After hesitating for a moment, he clenched into a fist in embarrassment.

"Mr. Na Yu, did you feel better after eating the dishes made by Nuo Er?"

"?" Yu Ci paused while holding the chopsticks, and looked at Nuo Er suspiciously, but didn't understand what Nuo Er meant by this sentence.

Nuoer pursed his lips, and moved his fist towards Yu Ci's hand again. He looked at Yu Ci fixedly, his blue eyes covered with worry like a veil.

"When Mr. Yu came to pick up Nuoer in the afternoon, Nuoer could feel that Mr. Yu was in a bad mood. Nuoer is stupid and can't help Nuoer. He can only think of making Mr. Yu dinner to make Mr. Yu happy."

"Mr. Yu, are you happy after eating the dinner made by Noel?"

"You." Those jewel-like pupils were crystal clear, and all emotions were laid out in front of Yu Ci's eyes.

Yu Ci only felt a sudden tremor in his heart, as if there was a slight "click" sound.But he doesn't want to pay attention to it now, his eyes can only reflect the worried handsome face of the young man in front of him.

"Noel, can you tell I'm in a bad mood?"

Nuo Er nodded vigorously, and asked deliberatively: "Did someone make Mr. Yu unhappy? If Mr. Yu trusts me, you can tell me. It might be better if you tell me."

What does it feel like?Yu Ci asked herself, she has lived for 31 years, and even when she was a child who was not sensible, she would have lived for nearly 30 years.

It seems that this is the first time someone cares about whether they are in a good mood or not, and will specially cook a table of dishes to make themselves happy.

You must know that in the first ten years of Yu Ci's life, no one cared whether he was happy or sad, whether he liked to eat vegetables or meat, he just needed to be perfect on the established track.

Is this what it feels like to be loved and cherished?Yu Ci didn't understand, the smile on his lips was restrained, he looked at Nuoer calmly, and asked softly, "Why do you want to make me happy?"

He was asking Noel, and he was asking himself.

"I like Mr. Yu." Nuo Er was not afraid of Yu Ci's indifference, and directly hit a straight ball.

This time, Noel directly held Yu Ci's hand on the table.

The coldness of his palms made Noel feel distressed, so he simply got up from the chair and squatted beside Yu Ci, holding those ice-like hands in his palms to warm them up.

"And aren't Mr. Yu and Nuoer dating? It's not a matter of course to care about your boyfriend."

Blue eyes blinked, Nuoer smiled and looked up at Yu Ci.

It turns out that this is a matter of course?Yu Ci looked at Nuo Er's smiling face in a daze, her body acted before her brain.

Yu Ci leaned down and hugged Nuo Er into his arms, warming his cold and empty chest, he slowly closed his eyes, perhaps, this is the feeling of liking.
