Cheng Jikuan: “She is my only relative. Our mother passed away very early and our father didn’t care much about us. He remarried and started a new family within half a year.”
After a pause, he said, “You eat the orange first. I’ll take off this waterproof suit.”
Ruan Ning nodded and watched Cheng Jikuan enter the room on the first floor with his backpack.
She had nothing to do, so she picked up the orange and took a bite. Her mouth was instantly filled with the sweet and fragrant taste.
Even her mood had improved a lot.
When Cheng Jikuan came out after changing into his wet clothes, Ruan Ning raised her chin toward him and said, “There’s one more. Try it.”
Cheng Jikuan was stunned: “I really don’t need it.”
Ruan Ning knew what Cheng Jikuan was thinking.
Fruits were hard to come by now, so Cheng Jikuan wanted to save these vitamin-supplementation things for girls. Not to mention Cheng Jili, Ruan Ning had plenty of them anyway, so there was no need for her to eat what Cheng Jikuan saved.
Ruan Ning said: “If you don’t want to eat it, just leave it there. I won’t eat it anyway.”
Cheng Jikuan was silent for two seconds, then walked over quietly, took the orange, and sat back next to the fireplace.
There was a fire in the room, so Ruan Ning simply took off her waterproof jacket. She felt a lot more comfortable.
The rice pot was bubbling, and the aroma of food was emitting.
Ruan Ning suddenly felt even hungrier and blinked in anticipation.
Cheng Jikuan was amused by her appearance: “We still have to wait about ten minutes.”
Ruan Ning quickly said: “It’s okay, I can wait.”
About six minutes later, Cheng Jikuan took a wet rag, opened the pot, and put the cabbage in.
The fragrance suddenly became stronger.
Ruan Ning ate the ready-made food in the space all day long. Although it tasted good, it was bought from a restaurant after all, and the taste was a bit too strong.
Although this clay pot rice was simple, it at least tasted like home-cooked food.
About five minutes later, the clay pot rice was finally ready.
Cheng Jikuan took the insulated placemats, put them on the coffee table, and sat on the floor opposite Ruan Ning.
Ruan Ning used a rag to open the lid of the pot and was immediately moved to tears by the fragrance.
She was starving and hadn’t eaten much today.
Unable to wait, Ruan Ning picked up the spoon, scooped up the rice and sausages, blew on them twice, and took a bite.
“Tasty!”
Cheng Jikuan laughed and said, “The seaweed soup is not cooked yet. Let’s eat it slowly.”
Ruan Ning gave him a thumbs up.
After eating the meal, Ruan Ning felt physically and mentally relaxed and her strength had recovered.
At this time, the hot water was boiling. Cheng Jikuan asked, “Do you want to wash up first?”
Ruan Ning tilted her head: “You go wash first. You can go to the cloakroom to see if there are any new clothes to wear. I will wash later.”
This time, Cheng Jikuan was no longer polite.
Early the next morning, the two people put on waterproof equipment and continued to search for supplies.
While searching the other villa, Ruan Ning discovered another secret room.
She opened the door excitedly and walked in with a dazed look on her face.
It was not because of the gold and antiques, but because this secret room was very interesting.
Ruan Ning saw that the room was full of props, including steel pipes, cat-eared costumes, whips, candles, quite a few ropes, and handcuffs.
