"But that was not someone else."
"It's your fiancee..."
Wendy pursed her lips and looked at him. In his gloomy eyes, she finally didn't say it out lout.
Charlie asked her, "Weren't you going to the supermarket? Where are the things you bought?"
"The fire alarm rang, so my shopping bags were missed." Wendy said and felt a little pity. "I also bought a few fresh beef bones. If I cook soup with it, it will be the best way to cure the injury on bones..."
Charlie nodded when he heard the sound. He just happened to pass by the mall when he got off work. To avoid the fire engine, the cars on the road were all very slowly. There were many people in front of the shopping mall. He was attracted by them and then saw Wendy.
When he heard what she said, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you going to cook me the beef bone soup?"
"Yes..." Wendy nodded honestly. Noticing his halfsmile expression, she hurried to explain, "Er, it's just the normal concern between friends..."
"But, there's nothing left now." She sighed.
"It doesn't matter. Noodles are fine." Charlie said.
Wendy bit her lip and somehow had some thoughts in her mind. She blurted out uncontrollably, "Your fiancee said that she bought a cookbook, and there were many ways to make noodles in it. After learning it, she would make noodles for you..."
After saying that, she immediately felt regretted.
Because she didn't need to look at the smile in Charlie's eyes, even she felt a strong sense of jealousy.
She lowered her head and jumped to the kitchen with an embarrassed face. "I'm going to cook it for you right now!"
The eggs and chopped onions in the refrigerator were ready-made, as well as the noodles that she had bought before. She turned on the stove and boiled water. Soon, the sound of the kitchen ventilator came from the kitchen.
The noodles rolled up with thick white soup, and Wendy sprinkled chopped green onions on it.
When she turned off the fire and inadvertently turned her head, she was stunned.
It was unknown when Charlie was leaning against the door frame of the kitchen. He had taken off his coat. He was wearing a white shirt, with one hand in the pocket, the other hand holding an unlit cigarette. His eyes were fixed on her.
This scene was very familiar.
Wendy was in a trance, as if she had returned to the time when they didn't break up.
She was panting and looked away in a panic. She took out two bowls of noodles and said, "Noodles are ready!"
In front of the dining table, the two of them sat face to face. After all these things, Wendy was really hungry and was eating noodles seriously.
Charlie seemed to be the same. He picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup. When he put it down and picked a noodle up with his chopsticks, he suddenly said in a faint voice, "I can't tell what's special about these noodles. Why can't I eat enough?"
As he spoke, he looked at her with a meaningful look in his eyes.
Wendy dropped her eyes and said, "How could I know..."
"I should not count on your elm- like head. It's useless!" Charlie said.
"..." Wendy clenched her fists.
After finishing the meal, considering that Wendy's ankle was new injured, Charlie took the initiative to clean up the bowls and chopsticks.
Wendy sat on the sofa, but she always spontaneously paid attention to the movements in the kitchen.
The ringtone of a mobile phone rang. She heard the voice and found that it was Charlie's phone in his suit pocket.
The sound of the water was splashing in the kitchen and Charlie didn't seem to hear the ring. Wendy didn't take it out. She was afraid that she would not see something secret, so she simply carried the suit and jumped over with one leg.
Charlie heard the footsteps and turned around. Wendy handed it over and said, "Er, your phone is ringing..."
After wiping his hands, he took the coat and took out his mobile phone.
