Wen Li hadn't decided whether to use Huo Yuanchen, so she didn't refuse his invitation to kiss her.

When he was teasing her, she was distracted and didn't respond to him properly, which made him unhappy and he tried harder to tease her.

After the kiss, he said a little depressed, "Can this distract you? Are you really tired of looking at me?"

Wen Li hesitated for a moment, then reached out to hold his waist, panting and saying, "I'm not sick of it yet, you have a pretty face. But I haven't decided whether I want to be with you or not."

She paused, resting her forehead on his chest, and complained softly, "Do you know that what you did to me before was quite hurtful. I'm a little scared."

Huo Yuanchen rested his chin lightly on the top of her head, his jawline tense. After a while, he asked calmly, "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I don't want you?"

Wen Li shook her head and bit her lip, "Even if you wanted to dump me, you wouldn't take the initiative to tell me. You would just ignore me and let me back off on my own."

She looked up, looked into Huo Yuanchen's eyes and said, "Think about it carefully. Although I was the one who proposed the breakup, what you did to me before I broke up, is that human? Who can stand their boyfriend treating them like that? Who can endure not breaking up?"

Huo Yuanchen looked at her for a while, nodded, and said lightly, "Yeah."

As for what it meant, Wen Li couldn't guess.

She waited for a while, and seeing that he had no intention of explaining, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Although she said these words today to find excuses for her previous refusal to get back together with him, the grievances she suffered were real. They have been broken up for so long, and now she can't help crying when she talks about it.

Huo Yuanchen didn't react at all.

What if he even said "I'm sorry" to her? Did he take it for granted that she should be treated like that?

She loosened her arms around his waist.

The next second, he reached out and hugged her, complaining, "How come you have no patience at all? I didn't say something according to your wishes, so you don't want to pay attention to me?"

Wen Li thought about it and felt that he wanted to keep her, so she didn't move. She let him hold her for a while and said, "Can you give me some time? I want to think about your relationship carefully."

Huo Yuanchen was silent for a long time before he said, "Okay."

Wen Li felt that this was a good sign, indicating that Huo Yuanchen was not unwilling to compromise for her.

If there is a first time, there will be a second time. He can compromise for her this time, and one day, he will give up An Wen for her.

Although the process might be a little difficult, she still couldn't help but want to try it.

Neither of them had eaten dinner yet. Wen Li wanted to behave better, so she didn't order takeout. Instead, she looked through Huo Yuanchen's refrigerator to see what was inside.

He looked at it for a while and couldn't help but say, "Don't turn it over. With your level, it will only waste food."

Wen Li couldn't help but defend himself, "I'm looking for eggs. You have noodles at home, right? I can make egg noodles. Do you want to try it?"

Huo Yuanchen raised his eyebrows and told her where the eggs were.

Wen Li also found a handful of vegetables and stayed in the kitchen, making a bowl of egg noodles while checking her phone. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be quite tasty.

She was quite satisfied with it, and brought it out to show Huo Yuanchen like a treasure, "I said I can cook noodles."

Huo Yuanchen took a bite with chopsticks, frowned and said, "Not bad, it would be better if you add some salt."

Wen Li slapped her forehead and hurried to the kitchen to get some salt. She didn't know how much to put, so Huo Yuanchen put in half a spoonful of salt himself.

He took a bite, then picked up a chopstick of noodles and gave it to her, "Try it."

Wen Li hesitated, "Forget it. If I eat like this, you will say it's unhygienic and refuse to eat it. I worked so hard to make it."

Huo Yuanchen said calmly, "Since you stopped me from saying you were dirty, when have you ever said that to me? Besides, didn't I swallow your saliva when we kissed? If I really disliked you, how could I be willing to kiss you?"

Wen Li frowned and said, "Okay, stop talking. It sounds disgusting."

Huo Yuanchen said, "Look, now you are the one who dislikes me."

He put the noodles down and handed her the poached egg in the bowl. "You won't refuse this, right? Don't you like eggs?"

Wen Li took a look at the egg handed to her and knew that he still remembered the time when she asked for the egg that An Wen fried for her, but he refused to give it to her and they had a fight.

She motioned him to split the egg, each of them had half, and then she ate her own portion. She didn't forget to say, "I'll just eat half, it's not like I won't leave any for you, so don't be so stingy with me in the future."

He smiled and said nothing.

But Wen Li could still be sure that he meant he agreed.

She felt as if she had taken another small step towards her goal, and she couldn't help but feel full of confidence.

Wen Li didn't expect Lu Ke to call her at this time. She had just put her phone on the dining table. When it rang, Huo Yuanchen, who was eating noodles, turned his head and naturally saw the name on the phone screen.

Brother Lu Ke, these three words actually made Wen Li feel a little guilty.

She secretly glanced at Huo Yuanchen. Unexpectedly, he also looked up, his eyes met hers in the air, and then he quickly lowered his head and quietly ate the noodles in his bowl.

Wen Li hesitated whether to answer the phone.

Before he made up his mind, Huo Yuanchen spoke without even looking up, and said in a calm voice, "Go ahead, is there anything you can't say to him in front of me?"

If Wen Li didn't answer it now, it would seem like something was wrong.

She answered the call and called out, "Brother Lu Ke."

Huo Yuanchen paused in eating noodles and looked unhappy when he saw her.

Wen Li pretended not to notice and asked, "What's the matter?"

There was a pause, and hesitant tone, "Are you busy? Am I disturbing you?"

Wen Li said quickly, "No need to bother you. I'm fine."

Lu Ke said, "The place I'm visiting this time is very famous for its apples. I want to ask you, where is your uncle and aunt's delivery address? I want to send them some apples. I remember your brother said that they like to eat apples."

Wen Li glanced at Huo Yuanchen, and seeing that he didn't react, he responded, "Then I'll send you my parents' address."

He added, "I'll transfer the price of the apples and the courier fee to you."

There was silence for a moment, and then he spoke helplessly, "Xiao Wenli, do you want to be so clear with me? It's too polite for you to give me money."

Wen Li touched his nose and said embarrassedly, "Well, thank you."

"You're welcome."

When she hung up the phone, Huo Yuanchen had just finished eating the noodles and even drank up the noodle soup. He went to wash the dishes and gave her a neutral look when he stood up.

He said calmly, "He really cares about you. He was away on a long trip, but he still remembered to send you something."

According to Wen Li's previous practice, if he said this, she would definitely respond to him sharply.

After all, when he went abroad, he was still thinking about buying things for An Wen.

But she didn't. She swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. She remembered her goal and didn't want to waste the little effort she had made tonight.

Wen Li sighed and said, "Then you can think about me more in the future."

Huo Yuanchen glanced at her and said, "Okay."
