Terminally Ill Female Lead Of An Angst Novel Went Rampant After Her Awakening

Chapter 27

“Smart people are all like this,” Li Mo said with an unfathomable expression.

Nan Mu was speechless.

“Most of the time, I can’t understand what Big Brother is thinking. He and Ms. Lin are a perfect match!” Li Mo elaborated.

Nan Mu was speechless.

…

On the way here, Lin Shanchu had been guessing that the decoration aesthetics of Huo Xunzhou’s house might be cool colors, which fit him.

When she stepped into Huo Xunzhou’s house, she realized that not only was the house decorated in cool colors, but the atmosphere was also very cold.

There was only a set of couches in the large living room. No other decorations could be seen.

The entire villa was so quiet that there was no sign of life.

It was even worse than a template room.

Huo Xunzhou sat in his wheelchair and went to the kitchen to pour her a glass of water.

“Don’t you usually live here?” she asked when she took the water.

“I’ve always lived here,” Huo Xunzhou replied.

Li Mo, who had just entered the door, quickly spoke up for Huo Xunzhou. “Big Brother just likes spacious places. He thinks that too much furniture is troublesome. He’s actually very rich.”

He couldn’t let Ms. Lin think that Huo Xunzhou was poor.

In order to elevate Huo Xunzhou’s status, Li Mo added with a serious expression, “Big Brother is just as rich as Lu Shiyuan.”

Therefore, it was definitely the right choice to choose him!

Lin Shanchu was speechless.

Wasn’t his intention to poach her a little too obvious?

“Li Mo!” Huo Xunzhou chided.

Li Mo, who was fearsome by nature, immediately lowered his head and became obedient.

He looked a little pitiful.

“Li Mo?” Lin Shanchu tentatively called his name. When he looked up, she asked, “When will the groceries arrive?”

On the way back, Li Mo ordered some groceries online.

“I’ll go out and take a look.” Li Mo quickly ran out. For some reason, his silhouette made him look honest and naive.

Lin Shanchu could not help but giggle when she saw this.

She turned around and saw Huo Xunzhou looking at her.

“I want to take a look at the kitchen,” she said, her smile immediately fading.

The things in the kitchen were much more abundant than in the living room.

It was evident that it was used frequently.

Huo Xunzhou probably saw through Lin Shanchu’s thoughts since he took the initiative to say, “I tend to prepare simple meals whenever I’m home.”

After a while, Li Mo came in with some groceries.

“Do you need any help?” he asked, rubbing his hands.

“If there’s anything you need us for, just tell us.” Nan Mu leaned against the door frame.

Huo Xunzhou sat in his wheelchair as he took out condiments from the cabinet.

Seeing that they were so enthusiastic, Lin Shanchu took a handful of vegetables and handed them to Li Mo. “Please help me filter the vegetables.”

She handed Nan Mu a garlic bulb and asked him to peel it.

As for Huo Xunzhou…

“What do you want to eat?” she asked.

“Stir-fried potato slices,” Huo Xunzhou replied.

To think that the top actor actually liked to eat such simple and unadorned dishes.

Without waiting for Lin Shanchu to speak up, Huo Xunzhou had already taken out a potato and started peeling it.

Lin Shanchu recalled that when she was cooking at Lu Manor in the past, she often did it by herself.

She would spend a long time preparing a delicious meal and wait for Lu Shiyuan to come home to eat.

Even though Lu Shiyuan didn’t go home often.

Even if he were to go home, he would only take a bite or two.

But she still felt happy.

Lu Shiyuan would never ask her if it was hard to cook, let alone help out in the kitchen.

It was as if he was born to be high and mighty, and she had to lower her posture and kneel in front of him.

She had never received equality and respect from Lu Shiyuan.

“I’m done.”

Li Mo showed the vegetables he had filtered to Lin Shanchu. He even had a proud expression on his face. “Do you think this is okay enough?”

Lin Shanchu looked at the vegetables that only had a tiny yellow core. She was unable to compliment Li Mo since it was against her wishes.

“I’ll do it myself.”

Nan Mu, who was squatting in front of the rubbish bin while peeling garlic, frowned so hard that she could kill a mosquito. “Why does garlic exist in this world? Damn it! It’s so hard to peel!”

Lin Shanchu turned around and saw that Nan Mu had only peeled half a piece after a long time.

They had been so eager to help just now. She thought that they had rich life experiences and could really help her out.

Lin Shanchu reached out to him. “I’ll peel it.”

Nan Mu returned the garlic to her with a serious expression. “I can do something else.”

“It’s fine. I can do it myself.” She didn’t think that Nan Mu, who couldn’t even peel garlic properly, could do anything else.

Nan Mu and Li Mo, the two useless kitchen hands, left the room together.

In the end, only Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu were left in the kitchen.

Huo Xunzhou peeled the potatoes very well. He did look like someone who could cook.

After peeling the potatoes, he reached out to Lin Shanchu. “Give me the garlic.”

Lin Shanchu silently handed the garlic to him.

While she was washing the potatoes, she turned her head to look at Huo Xunzhou.

The outer shell of the aromatic garlic was already peeled by his slender fingers easily.

He looked like the one who was the least capable of doing household chores among the three men, but he did it so skillfully and readily.

He was a completely different person from Huo Xunzhou, the top actor who shone brightly on the stage.

Lin Shanchu’s mother had a unique skill that ordinary people didn’t know, which was to cut potato slices in the palm of her hand.

Lin Shanchu knew how to do it too.

She learned it herself.

She learned it for a long time.

In the beginning, her palm would often be cut by the knife.

Her skill got better after that.

She placed a potato in the palm of her hand and held it with her fingers. Then, she used her other hand to cut the potato into thin, equal slices with a knife quickly.

She finished cutting the potatoes very quickly.

Just as she was about to turn on the tap to soak the potato slices, a large hand reached out from behind her and helped her turn the tap on.

No one knew when Huo Xunzhou had stood up from his wheelchair, nor did anyone know how long he had been staring at her from behind.

Lin Shanchu seemed to have understood something. “You went to my mother’s kindergarten when you were young. Did my mother bring you home for dinner?” she asked.

Huo Xunzhou had a calm personality. He was definitely not the kind of person who would act rashly.

He must have his own reasons for everything he did.

“Yes,” Huo Xunzhou replied in a low voice.

The low tone was very alluring.

Lin Shanchu resisted the urge to rub his ears. “I’ll handle the rest myself. You can leave too.”

“Alright,” he said. Huo Xunzhou then sat back in his wheelchair and left.

Even at home, he had to sit in a wheelchair.

However, he was clearly a healthy person.

In this world, everyone had their own difficulties and secrets that could not be told.

…

Lin Shanchu made four dishes and a soup.

Considering that the men had big appetites, she made a large portion of the dishes.

Li Mo and Nan Mu came over to help serve the dishes while muttering, “The food smells so good.”

Their saliva was almost dripping down.

When they were eating, they ate in a polite manner.

After all, Huo Xunzhou was there.

The three of them looked to be about the same age, but Huo Xunzhou had the strongest aura.

All he needed was one look, and the other two men would settle down.

Nan Mu noticed that Lin Shanchu was eating very little and thought that she was trying to lose weight.

“You should eat more. You’re already very thin. You’re already very pretty in front of the camera in your current condition.”
