In the living room on the first floor, the fireplace was blazing brightly.
The coffee on the coffee table was cold and sour.
Mu Nuanzhou carried her food box and sat on the sofa in the hall, bored out of her mind. She waited for a long time, looking out the French windows at the dusky sky, looking like a storm was coming, she did not bring an umbrella with her when she went out, so she had to rush home before the rain started.
Why was Xiao Zhan still not coming down?
She retracted her gaze and looked at the second floor.
If he didn't come down now, the cinnamon jujube paste cake would be extremely cold, and once it was cold, it wouldn't taste good anymore.
Xiao Zhan had to continuously smoke a few cigarettes before he could finally get up and go downstairs. He stood on the stairs and held onto the railing with one hand.
Her profile was very beautiful. The outline of her face was more three-dimensional than the woman from the East, but it was not sharp. Her forehead was plump, her nose was straight, and the curve of her chin was just right and gentle.
Wasn't she relying on this otherworldly face, coupled with her fog-like weak temperament, to be like a fish in water in Bremen?
Initially, he had thought that a few smoke's worth of time would be enough for him to ease his bad mood, but after seeing Mu Nuanzhou and thinking of what she had said to him, the depression in his heart grew even more intense.
Due to being angry, Xiao Zhan deliberately lowered his voice so much that each of his feet seemed to wish for nothing more than to crush the stairs and use it to vent his dissatisfaction.
When Mu Nuanzhou heard the commotion, he looked up and saw his proud and handsome face. He stood up and said, "Xiao Zhan, you have calculated it."
Seeing her excited, eyes turning, Xiao Zhan's heart skipped a beat, but quickly calmed down. With a straight face, he asked: "What are you doing here?"
Mu Nuanzhou's observation skills were not strong enough, she naturally could not see through his little emotion. Without thinking much, she placed the food box in front of him and said, "Oh, it's like this. In order to thank you for saving me yesterday, I specially prepared a snack for you. However, you have waited for too long. As she spoke, she placed the box on the table, opened the lid, and brought him a plate of oregano cake. She said, "Thank you very much for yesterday, this is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you don't mind."
In the end, Mu Nuanzhou still wasn't comfortable facing him. They went back and forth between them, mixed with too many snips and snips that they couldn't control. As a result, when they said these words, they kept their heads down and naturally didn't see Xiao Zhan's cold expression.
With a sneer, he drilled into his eardrums.
Following that, Mu Nuanzhou felt the plate in his hand being taken away.
"Xiao Zhan looked at the beautiful and delicious Gui Hua Zu Mud Cake, and he couldn't help but feel grateful. He placed the plate of Gui Hua Muddy Cake on the table and looked down at her with absolute superiority in height. I really don't know where you got the courage to give away such a cheap thing as gratitude, and even make the person receiving the gift not dislike it? "
Mu Nuanzhou looked up in shock. Xiao Zhan's eyes were filled with mockery, and he was caught off guard.
Her face flushed red from anger, and she secretly clenched her fists. Her eyes were full of injuries as she retorted, "Xiao Zhan, I am sincerely here today to express my thanks, not to quarrel with you, nor to listen to your humiliation."
"Humiliate?" Xiao Zhan lazily sat down and raised a leg. His sharp brows twitched as if he had heard a joke, and laughed, "If you take my actions and words just now as a form of humiliation, then let me ask you, when you were drinking with me in Bremen yesterday, how come you didn't see any trace of shame in your heart?"
"Is it because those benefactors who gave you the money made you happy when you served them, and because I didn't give you the money and just refused your thanks, you can't stand it any longer?"
Each of Xiao Zhan's words was sharp and harsh, unheard-of to the ears. He was so shocked that his entire body trembled.
