Marriage as a Game

Chapter 58 I don't mind if I eat your meal.
Shen Chaoxi's trophy was still in Shang Jianghan's hand. She glanced at the other person's face and felt a heat rising up unconsciously.

Like it?
How does she answer this question?

"Thank you!" Shen Chaoxi bowed to the other party.

For safety reasons, the 10,000 yuan bonus will be transferred to Shen Chaoxi's bank card later.

**
The third monthly exam was scheduled for the last Thursday and Friday of October. Without any suspense, Shen Chaoxi still ranked first.

Except for the Chinese composition, she got full marks in other subjects.

It's winter already.

The temperature in the north has been close to freezing this month, and the apartments have already switched to collective heating.

As the weather alternated between cold and hot, Zhongli fell ill and was taken back to the Zhong family to recuperate.

These days Shen Chaoxi asked her aunt to go home and rest, and she cooked for herself after school.

After the last class on Wednesday, snow and rain began to fall from the sky. Although it was not heavy, it was very fierce. The tiny ice flakes hit my face, like needles piercing my skin.

Shen Chaoxi came down from the elevator with a schoolbag on his left shoulder and a bag of food in his right hand.

She passed by 1201 and unexpectedly saw the security door opposite was wide open.

Last time I knew that Shang Jianghan might live across the street, but I haven't seen him move in for a month. Although Shen Chaoxi was curious, he had no intention of prying into other people's privacy.

She passed by the door of 1201 and was about to turn around and walk to the opposite side when a low voice of a boy came out from inside.

The other party seemed to be on the phone and didn't say much in response.

"Ah."

A very familiar voice.

Shen Chaoxi was shocked. She hadn't seen Shang Jianghan for more than a month. Since the sports meet, he was said to be on a business trip.

"you give me……"

The voice stopped abruptly at the door. Shang Jianghan held the mobile phone to his ear in his left hand and was about to stretch out his right hand to close the security door. When he raised his eyes, he saw a girl wearing a large black cotton coat over her school uniform.

Eye to eye!

Someone called out from the other end of the phone.

"Third Young Master?"

The voice reached Shen Chaoxi's ears in the quiet corridor. She smiled at Shang Jianghan, then turned and walked across the street as she didn't want to disturb her.

"That's it for now, no need to send it."

Shang Jianghan then hung up the phone.

When Shen Chaoxi pressed his fingerprint on the combination lock, he heard a crisp click from the security door opposite.

She breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.

The next second, the man's soft footsteps and low voice floated into her eardrums.

"It's just right. It's raining and I can't go out. Do you mind if I have a meal with you?"

Shen Chaoxi suppressed the throbbing in his heart, opened the door and invited the person in.

This was Zhongli's home, she couldn't refuse.

Shang Jianghan was wearing a pair of black sandals. He went straight to the living room as soon as he entered the door, but Shen Chaoxi needed to change his shoes.

While changing shoes, Shen Chaoxi said, "Zhongli is sick these two days and can't stay here. Auntie is also on vacation. I'm not very good at cooking. Teacher Shang, please don't mind."

After changing into slippers, Shen Chaoxi put down his schoolbag and food, and then went to the kitchen to boil water.

Shang Jianghan came here for the first time and walked around the hall.

The place where the two girls live is full of warmth, with many small items, and they are arranged beautifully.

The water in the kettle was originally kept at around 60 to 70 degrees and boiled quickly.

Shen Chaoxi found a clean glass, pinched some green tea from the tea box, brewed two cups and brought them out.

As she walked out of the kitchen, she was startled to see Shang Jianghan leaning against the wall outside the kitchen door.

From this angle, her actions just now can be seen clearly.

My cheeks suddenly felt hot.

"Teacher Shang, have some tea."

"Yeah," Shang Jianghan took the cup from her.

The tea is boiling hot but the cup is just warm to avoid burning your hands.

Shen Chaoxi put her cup on the dining table and opened the refrigerator to prepare dinner. Tonight, she had planned to make do with a bowl of noodles, but with Shang Jianghan, she couldn't just make do.

Fortunately, there was a piece of beef and chicken breast in the refrigerator.

The shelf life is very fresh.

"Teacher Shang, are there any dietary restrictions?"

Shang Jianghan's posture did not change. He was wearing a navy blue round-neck pullover today, and a pair of light white casual pants. He looked much softer than usual. He put one hand in his pocket, and held the cup of green tea in the other hand, blowing gently on it with his mouth.

Upon hearing this, Shang Jiang looked over with cold eyes.

"Didn't I ask you last time?"

Last time?

Shen Chaoxi tilted her head to look at him, her clear eyes full of confusion, and then she remembered the conversation at Xiyuan Western Restaurant.

"Oh! Lighter, no spicy food, no desserts?"

Shen Chaoxi confirmed it.

Shang Jianghan's eyes were deep, and he looked at her with inquiry, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"You have a good memory, but the guest should follow the host's wishes. Please cook according to your taste."

According to her taste?

Shen Chaoxi thought of the bottle of weird hot sauce in her food.

"Well, I've been suffering from heat stroke lately, so I'll eat something light."

Shen Chaoxi blinked, not knowing that her little action had betrayed herself.

Half an hour later, three dishes, a soup and rice were on the table.

Shen Chaoxi brought the food to the table before calling Shang Jianghan to eat.

Shang Jianghan was playing Zhongli's mobile game at this time. After completing the game, he pressed pause, stood up and walked over.

During the break from cooking, Shen Chaoxi had taken off his school uniform and was wearing a white cotton shirt and black and white sweatpants, with a large apron with a black background and red flowers on the outside.

Seeing Shang Jianghan approaching, Shen Chaoxi tried to untie her apron, but for some reason, the bow tied behind her became a knot. She put her hands behind her back and tried to untie it for a while, but the knot became tighter and tighter.

"What's wrong?" Shang Jianghan stood beside her and noticed something strange.

"It's a knot that can't be untied."

The girl's voice was soft.

"Forget it, just put it on first and untie it later."

Shen Chaoxi rubbed his wrist and prepared to take a seat.

Suddenly, a big hand pulled her arm, and by inertia, she was pulled into the other person's arms.

Shen Chaoxi's nose brushed against the man's soft woolen clothes. Through the thin clothes, the familiar woody scent mixed with the smell of fresh grass tobacco rushed straight into his nose.

"Let me help you. How are you going to eat with such a big apron on?"

The apron was bought by her aunt. She was a bit plump, and when she put it on Shen Chaoxi, it almost covered her completely.

There was no chance to refuse. Shen Chaoxi only felt that her body had turned half a circle, and her back was already close to the man's warm chest.

She bowed her head and thanked him softly.

The voice was soft and reached Shang Jianghan's ears, and his fingers felt like they were electrified.

The girl was wearing a white shirt, and although the hem was loose, it couldn't hide her slender waist.

A faint orchid scent lingers around me.

It doesn't feel like a synthetic scent, but more like a charm that radiates from the inside out.

Shang Jianghan's Adam's apple choked slightly, but his hands did not stop moving. He quickly untied the knot. He raised his eyes and glanced at the girl's fair neck, slightly stunned.

I don’t know if it’s because of the light or an illusion, but it seems like a layer of pink light is sprinkled on her fair skin.

Shen Chaoxi turned around, took off her apron, and put some distance between them.

"My craftsmanship is not good, just don't despise me, Mr. Shang."

The two of them had a meal in harmony.

They don't have the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping.

Shen Chaoxi’s cooking skills cannot be described as very good, it can only be described as average, but it is edible.
