Chapter 331 White Porridge
Chapter 331 White Porridge
Xu Lingfeng had to restrain himself very strongly so as not to stand up and push open the door that was blocking his view.
He knew that Ouyang Mengmian was sleeping silently behind the door at this moment.
However, even though they were so close, Xu Lingfeng still felt as if they were within arm's reach yet so far away.
He no longer had any position or possibility to pay attention to Ouyang Mengmian and get along with her as recklessly as before!
A fine, dense, bone-piercing pain started from Xu Lingfeng's heart and gradually spread throughout his body. In a short period of time, he was in so much pain that he could hardly breathe.
Xu Lingfeng closed his eyes tightly, clenched his fists, and gradually relaxed his breath, letting it slowly sink down, trying to fight against the sudden pain - he had already had experience fighting this kind of pain in recent times. Sure enough, after a while, he felt much better.
By the time Su Jingsi placed all the food on the table and invited Xu Lingfeng to come over for dinner, he no longer noticed anything abnormal about Xu Lingfeng.
On the dining table was a bowl of steaming white porridge, a plate of green stir-fried vegetables and a boiled egg.
Xu Lingfeng sat down, looking at the white porridge in front of him, which was of moderate viscosity and had a lustrous sheen, and was slightly absent-minded.
This was the first time he saw food cooked by Ouyang Mengmian himself.
In the past, when he was with Ouyang Mengmian, he had never made any specific plans for life. For him, there was a chef to cook for him, and a special aunt to take care of the chores of life - he just had to do his job well and enjoy the existing good quality of life.
He had also imagined living with Ouyang Mengmian in the future, but it was limited to their world of love and affection. Food, clothing, housing and transportation that ordinary people worry about were not included.
Xu Lingfeng never thought about how Ouyang Mengmian, who resolutely left the Ouyang family, would take care of his personal affairs and three meals a day.
Now he knows.
It just seems a little late.
At some unknown time, he and Ouyang Mengmian had parted ways and distanced themselves from each other.
While Xu Lingfeng was hesitating over the bowl of porridge, Su Jingsi quietly pulled out a chair and sat opposite Xu Lingfeng. Although he was a little anxious and wanted to talk to Xu Lingfeng about Ouyang Mengmian as soon as possible, he did not urge Xu Lingfeng, but just sat there in silence.
Xu Lingfeng didn't want Su Jingsi to notice anything, so he picked up the porcelain spoon and scooped a full spoonful of white porridge into his mouth.
The soft and delicate rice grains rolled smoothly across the tip of the tongue, and a refreshing and smooth rice aroma immediately filled Xu Lingfeng's entire mouth.
After that, Xu Lingfeng didn't touch any other food on the table.
For him, a bowl of porridge is enough.
In fact, every cell in his body was eager to savor the taste of the porridge.
For this reason, he ate very slowly.
So much so that Su Jingsi, who was sitting opposite him, felt as if he was watching a royal noble having a meal.
Although the food looked very ordinary, Xu Lingfeng felt that it was as delicious as delicacies.
After Xu Lingfeng, he never ate such delicious white porridge again in his life.
At this moment, Xu Lingfeng was willing to use all the compliments in the world to praise the bowl of white porridge in front of him.
But it was all in vain - Xu Lingfeng thought, perhaps he had missed many opportunities to enjoy it.
If he had been able to pursue Ouyang Mengmian as desperately as Su Jingsi, would the ending be different?
Or—maybe.
Xu Lingfeng only knew that the bowl of white porridge he had eaten by chance this morning would be sealed in his memory forever.
