Chapter 978 - A Story To Share With You.
Not knowing how long it already was but finally, Lin Xinyi was feeling better after a deep sleep. Her muscles were feeling much relaxed than it was before. Though under her eyes there were big dark circles which were looking too evident on her fair skin, still it was nowhere dampening her beauty for which she was once known for.
Sitting up on the bed with calmness in her deanor, Lin Xinyi turned to look out of the window where the sun seed to be drowning in the west. "It's already evening. I slept too much." She realized groggily while feeling her throat running dry.
Turning slightly on her sitting, she was about to reach to get herself a glass of water when found the jug kept on the side already empty. Pressing her lips with so disappointnt, she lifted up the duvet a little weakly, before slipping on the slippers to walk to the kitchen.
But just when she was on her way out of her room, she felt sothing clanking softly on the floor. The noise was light and it was an easy guess that either a fork or spoon has fallen on the floor of the kitchen.
Lin Xinyi's brows tugged together in slight suspicion as she called, "Xiao ng, have you not yet left? What are you still doing in the kitchen?" She called but no response ca so instead she walked her way there.
Earlier when she fell asleep, she rembered Xiao ng coming to et her. Though she has asked her to leave after a few minutes, the girl has urged to stay and help her by refilling vegetables in the kitchen. So, giving one of the spare keys of the house to her, she has asked her to leave when once done.
"Xiao ng, are you still there?" Lin Xinyi asked again when heard no reply coming on her first askance. But before she could wait to hear who actually was there, her eyes already found the person coming out of the kitchen. "Li Xue, it's you?" she was surprised, which might be because she was not expecting the girl to be here.
Li Xue smiled. "Good evening, Sister Xinyi. Sorry, I was about to co and greet you first but then realized the veggies would get overcooked if left in the oven. So …" She said while bringing the food to set on the table.
Lin Xinyi looked at her efforts and was further confused. "This …"
"Ah, that, sorry for intruding in your place without prior asking you, Sister Xinyi. But when I arrived, you were sleeping and I didn't want to disturb you. I was about to leave upon hearing ngng. But then she received a call from the company asking her to visit urgently. She had plans of cooking for you. Since she left, I took over her job. Hope you don't mind." Li Xue said and Lin Xinyi simply shook her head.
"You wouldn't have to bother about it. You should have left; I would have managed it on my own."
Li Xue felt sothing different in her tone. Though there felt nothing offending in those words, still it kind of felt a little distant. Unlike the way, she felt close to the woman.
Did sothing happen? Did she do sothing wrong?
She questioned herself but couldn't get the answer to it because as far as she rembers, in the previous few days, she didn't stir up any trouble.
"Sister Xinyi, it wasn't a bother for . I felt good cooking so simple things for you" Li Xue said, trying to ignore the different tone she heard before. She took it as the mood swing of the lady as when sick, people have mood swings. Lin Xinyi could be no exception.
Lin Xinyi nodded. But then walked to get herself a glass of water first. Her voice was still feeling groggy and it was feeling a bit uncomfortable from inside.
Li Xue looked at her having water slowly and asked, "How are you now feeling? Is it better or should we visit the doctor once?"
Lin Xinyi didn't turn to look at her but shook her head. "No, it's fine now. I am feeling better." She said and Li Xue could no longer hold but ask.
"Sister Xinyi, is there sothing? Are you upset with ?" Though there seed nothing different in the air, sowhere a little, there felt a slight difference. And that slight difference seed very unusual.
Lin Xinyi turned to look at Li Xue. Her askance was very much clear to her ears but the reply to that askance, seed a little off to her.
Was she upset with her? She didn't know it herself. She didn't have any reason to be upset with her but at so corner of her heart, she was feeling a bit of unbearable sadness. That definitely has the relation with Li Xue but she couldn't be blad for it.
Lin Xinyi shook her head while curling her lips to smile. "Why would I be upset with you? You did nothing. Why are you asking so?"
Li Xue sighed with so relief when heard her denying the suspicion. Of course, she also felt that there was no reason for her to be upset. "You just looked a little different today so I asked. But since you are telling that you are not, I will believe you."
"Mhm. Don't be too rigid about my image. Though I understand I have been a perfect idol in your eyes, I am still a human who has usual mood swings when sick. My current attitude can be taken like that." Lin Xinyi said giving a smile before coming to look at the dishes Li Xue has cooked. "You have cooked many things. And all of them look delicious. I didn't know that apart from desserts you are also better in savory dishes."
Li Xue shook her head. "They are just simple dishes. Nothing too high ends. Don't overpraise ." She said and Lin Xinyi smiled at her with so gratefulness. Though the air of difference seed dissipated, Li Xue could still feel sothing in her thoughts.
"Sister Xinyi? …" She called to ask but paused before even starting it.
Lin Xinyi looked up at the girl as well. "Hmm? What is it?"? She asked but Li Xue shook her head with a smile.
"Ah, it's nothing. You might want to rest. Since I already cooked for you. Rember to have it before going to rest. I will leave first then." She said and taking her bag she was about to leave when heard the woman halting her from behind.
"Li Xue, if not any other plans, why not company on the table." Lin Xinyi said and Li Xue looked at her, not sure if she should stay or not. Thinking to shake her head, she was about to reject the idea but before she could, Lin Xinyi added, "I have a story to share with you. So, stay for a while with . I am sure you wouldn't like to deny in my sick state.." She said before giving a smile and gesturing her to take the seat at the table along with her.
