18: Chapter 18 She cooked for him herself.
Gu Yanchen shook his head hurriedly and waved the red banknotes in his hand: "No, I went to fight in a boxing match, this is the money I won."
He had an expression begging for praise, as if he were missing a tail.
After having Su Yue, he needed money desperately; he wanted to buy her delicious food, clothes, and bags.
He didn't want Su Yue to follow him and eat noodles and wontons; she was a rich girl by nature, and her food and clothing were always the best.
Underground boxing matches made money quickly. People had approached him before, but at that time, he felt he had endless energy and was earning enough money at the construction site, so he didn't pay them any mind.
Now it was different; he had Baby, and he needed more money.
Su Yue rolled her eyes at him, got up, and grabbed the medicine kit: "Take off your shirt!"
Gu Yanchen felt awkward at this moment, clutching his clothes and refusing to take them off.
[Baby, are you trying to play games? I'm so excited!]
Su Yue heard his inner thoughts and was speechless. She threw the medicine kit on the floor: "If you don't take off your clothes, just wait to bleed to death!"
Gu Yanchen felt embarrassed and slowly took off his clothes.
Su Yue picked up the disinfectant and sprayed it all over him, causing Gu Yanchen to gasp in pain.
"Does it hurt?"
"It hurts!"
"You deserve it. Let's see if you dare to make a joke of your body next time!"
"I won't dare." Gu Yanchen shook his head pitifully, and Su Yue's movements softened.
She was no longer the pampered Su Yue from the greenhouse. Looking at his appearance, she knew it was an unofficial boxing match, where fatalities were common.
Su Yue cleaned his wounds but didn't intend to pay attention to him. Letting him joke with his own body—were black market boxing matches something to play around with?
Gu Yanchen spoke up, feeling wronged. Thinking she was still angry about him not answering her phone, he explained: "Baby, I didn't ignore your calls. The boss confiscated my phone; please don't be angry."
Seeing that she still had her back turned to him, Gu Yanchen grew anxious: "Baby, I really didn't do it on purpose. Considering I'm a wounded patient, please forgive me."
Su Yue wasn't actually angry at him; she was just annoyed that he didn't even know what he had done wrong!
"Baby, are you hungry?"
Just as Su Yue was about to say she wasn't hungry, she heard his stomach growling loudly.
Then Gu Yanchen muttered softly: "I'm hungry, Baby."
Su Yue turned around resignedly and said fiercely: "Wait here, I'm going to cook you some noodles."
"Baby, you can cook?" Gu Yanchen wanted to follow, but was stopped by her look.
In Gu Yanchen's view, a pampered young lady knowing how to cook was harder to believe than a comet hitting the Earth.
Su Yue went to the kitchen quietly and took the most expensive ingredients in the kitchen.
A bowl of noodles, with pitifully few noodles, covered with plenty of seafood, and a few green leaves vaguely visible.
Su Yue carried the noodles, and even she was drooling from the smell.
"Wow, it smells so good!" Fearing she would get burned, Gu Yanchen quickly took the bowl.
"It won't taste good if the noodles get cold. Eat quickly; I'll go pour you a glass of water."
When Su Yue came back after pouring the water, she saw him staring blankly at the noodles and was puzzled: "What's wrong? Is what I made not tasty?"
She was still confident in her cooking skills. After her rebirth, she hadn't learned much else, but she had practiced her cooking. This way, when the Apocalypse arrived, she wouldn't go hungry and could eat whatever she wanted.
Thinking of this, Su Yue decided to go to the Supermarket tomorrow for a shopping spree; there were only a few days left until the Apocalypse.
"It's delicious!" Gu Yanchen's eyes were slightly red. Apart from Mother Gu, no other woman had ever cooked for him.
Su Yue urged: "How do you know it's delicious if you haven't eaten it? Hurry up and taste the cooking of Chef Su!"
Gu Yanchen first peeled a shrimp, not to eat himself, but to feed it to Su Yue.
Su Yue took a bite with a smile, and Gu Yanchen stuffed the rest into his own mouth without minding.
He finished the bowl of noodles very quickly, which showed how hungry he was.
Eating until he was sweating profusely, Su Yue wiped his face with a tissue, feeling heartache.
Gu Yanchen grabbed her hand, his eyes full of deep affection: "Baby, it's so good to have you!"
Su Yue pulled her hand back, feeling a bit jealous: "Have you said this to Zhang Xiaoxiao too?"
Gu Yanchen explained anxiously: "Baby, I have never said this to her; you must believe me!"
"Baby, if you don't believe me, we can go find Zhang Xiaoxiao and confront her!"
He got up to go find Zhang Xiaoxiao, but Su Yue grabbed his hand.
Going to find Zhang Xiaoxiao now would indeed make her furious, but she didn't want Gu Yanchen to be discovered by the housekeeper.
Trespassing into a private residence would get him sent to the police station.
"Baby, what's wrong?"
"The sky is almost bright; you should go back and rest early."
Gu Yanchen didn't want to leave. His peach-blossom eyes looked at her pitifully: "Baby, I'll leave after you fall asleep."
"Okay." Su Yue knew his personality, so she obediently crawled into the covers and closed her eyes to sleep.
She was indeed a little sleepy. Perhaps having Gu Yanchen beside her made her feel much more at ease.
Since her rebirth, she often felt like she was still in the Apocalypse, sleeping poorly and having nightmares one after another.
