91.

It wasn't until nightfall that Chu Ming finally became hungry and his stomach began to growl, but he couldn't move. He had no choice but to lean against the wall and look out the window at the bright moon hanging high in the sky.

Sighing to himself, he had no choice but to get ready to rest. Otherwise, the constant rumbling of his hungry stomach would make him extremely uncomfortable.

Chu Ming lay down, covered himself with the blanket and closed his eyes.

"Ke Ke …" Someone knocked on the door, causing Chu Ming to open his eyes in distress.

"Ke Ke …"

Another few rings.

He opened the door and found that there was no one in front of him. He was just about to close the door when a fragrant smell drifted over. He instinctively looked down and saw a big bowl of steaming hot noodles.

He swallowed his saliva and squatted down. Seeing the steaming bowl of noodles and the soft sounds coming from his stomach, he subconsciously reached out to grab it. However, he didn't expect his hands to lose all of their strength.

Chu Ming was on the verge of collapse. He sat down and looked at the noodles and soup on the floor, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, a voice came from a dark corner: "I'm dead!"

Chu Ming raised his head and saw that the person standing in front of him was Lin Xue'er.

She looked angry as she said, "What's wrong with you? Did you not want to eat the noodles that he kindly cooked for you?"

Chu Ming was very surprised as he said, "Miss Lin, this is …"

"What is this!" Lin Xue'er pulled Chu Ming up and said, "Follow me!"

He only knew that he had angered his little ancestor, so he would definitely be scolded again. He thought that even though he wasn't considered a martial arts expert, he was still a passer-by, yet he was being scolded nonstop by a woman. He thought it was probably funny.

Lin Xue'er pulled Chu Ming to the kitchen and helped him to the side. She lit a candle and said, "Just wait, I'll get you another bowl of noodles."

When Chu Ming heard this, he was overwhelmed. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Thank you for Miss Lin's good intentions. I'm not hungry yet. Miss Lin, you should rest early."

Lin Xue'er glared at Chu Ming, "If you're not hungry, then what's your stomach called!"

At this moment, Chu Ming's stomach creaked in an extremely coordinated manner, making Chu Ming feel very awkward.

Lin Xue'er skillfully started the cooking and put some water in the stove to boil it.

On the side, Chu Ming was watching with a pale mind. He didn't know which scene he was acting out. This Lin Xue'er was very bad at times, but he didn't know if she was good or bad.

"Hey, Chu." Lin Xue'er walked to the side and continued making the ingredients. "Don't misunderstand me. I just saw that you didn't eat anything. If you starve to death in my house, then that would be troublesome. Do you understand?"

Chu Ming was stunned for a moment before he quickly said, "Thank you for your good intentions, Miss Lin."

Lin Xue'er snorted and continued, "Where did you come from? How did you get injured like this?"

"I... From a small town to the west. " Chu Ming didn't want to reveal too much, and he didn't want to think about the painful things that had happened, so he made up a lie.

"Can you really be lying? How did you come from the west? How did you fall into the shore beside us?" Lin Xue'er shook the water off her hands and continued, "Forget it, I don't care where you came from. Just tell me, how did you get so injured?"

Chu Ming said, "I was chased by my enemy."

"Chou family?" Lin Xue'er turned her head to look at Chu Ming and asked, "Do you owe him money or have you killed his family?"

Chu Ming shook his head, "Neither."

"What's that?" Lin Xue'er opened the lid, removed the noodles and then covered her hands. She wiped her hands and turned around to look at Chu Ming, saying, "It can't be that there's an enemy for no reason, right?"

"For no reason at all, there will be enemies." Chu Ming sighed and said, "The outside world is not that simple."

"Come on, you don't even have the face to say something like that." Lin Xue'er poured the ingredients in as well. Immediately, the fragrance drifted over, causing Chu Ming's stomach to rumble.

Chu Ming bitterly smiled and said, "Miss Lin is right. A person like me really doesn't have the face to say anything."

When Lin Xue'er heard this, she became slightly angry and said, "Can't you be a bit more manly? Can't you retort after being scolded by me?"

Chu Ming was stunned for a moment. He felt that Lin Xue'er was quite strange. He wasn't the least bit fierce, but he wasn't a human either. Just what should he do?

Seeing no reaction from Chu Ming, Lin Xue'er muttered: "Idiot."

After a while, the noodles were done cooking. Lin Xue'er picked up a large bowl and scooped up the noodles. She placed it into the bowl and poured some of the thick gravy into the bowl. A fragrance filled the entire kitchen.

Lin Xue'er took the noodles and placed them in front of Chu Ming, saying, "Eat, it's better if you don't starve to death."

Chu Ming took the chopsticks and said, "Thank you, Miss Lin."

Lin Xue'er impatiently said, "Cut the crap! If you want to eat, eat quickly!"

Chu Ming didn't dare to say anything more and immediately grabbed his chopsticks to pick up the noodles, but he couldn't bring himself to do so. Even after picking up the noodles for a long time, he still couldn't.

When Lin Xue'er saw this, she frowned and said, "Bring the chopsticks!"

Chu Ming didn't understand and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Hand it over!" Lin Xue'er couldn't stand Chu Ming speaking any further. She snatched the chopsticks, picked up the noodles, blew on them a few times, then placed them in front of Chu Ming's mouth, "Eat."

Chu Ming was stunned for a moment before feeling somewhat embarrassed. He did not say anything as he simply looked at Lin Xue'er.

Under the moonlight, although this woman had an ordinary appearance and wore very ordinary clothes. Her hair was tied in an earthy manner, it revealed a completely different kind of beauty.

Although Chu Ming didn't have any intentions towards her, he was still very shy for such a intimate action.

Lin Xue'er was different. Because she was living in the countryside, she was lacking in formality and a bit more straightforward. Her face was not red and she wanted to feed Chu Ming, but when she saw that Chu Ming did not open his mouth, she said with a bit of anger, "Do you think that I, a village woman, am not worthy enough to feed you a chivalrous hero?"

When Chu Ming heard this, he quickly said, "How can that be …"

"Then why aren't you eating? My hands are almost sore!" Lin Xue'er said angrily.

Chu Ming could only open his mouth and take a bite. As soon as the bite entered his stomach, he felt that it was extremely tasty, coupled with the fact that his stomach was starving, and when Lin Xue'er lifted it up for him for the second time, Chu Ming ate it in perfect harmony. He repeated it over and over again while Lin Xue'er fed him a big bowl of noodles, eating all the leftover ingredients in the pot.

Lin Xue'er put down the bowl in her hands and said with a smile, "I didn't expect your appetite to be so big. You really know how to eat."

He wiped his mouth and said, "Because Miss Lin's cooking skills are very good."

Lin Xue'er stood up and said, "Have you eaten your fill? "Since I'm full, I should hurry up and go to sleep. If not, when I wake up late tomorrow, that annoying dad of mine will scold me again."

Chu Ming nodded and stood up. He discovered that he had recovered some of his strength after eating so he couldn't help but take a few small steps forward. He cupped his hands towards Lin Xue'er and said, "Thank you, Miss Lin. Then, good night."

Lin Xue'er cleaned up the dishes and waved her hand. "Don't always talk like that. It's hard on you."

Chu Ming bitterly smiled and said, "I know, I just want to thank you, Miss Lin."

Lin Xue'er washed her hands and turned around. "You should rest as soon as possible and recover your health. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome for me to take care of you. Understood?"

Chu Ming said, "I won't trouble Miss Lin, I will leave tomorrow."

Lin Xue'er was startled and asked: "You're leaving? "Where to?"

"I don't know either."

"Then where are you going?" Lin Xue'er said, "If you want to leave, you should at least heal your injuries before leaving. If you leave now, my parents will definitely suffer if you die."

Chu Ming quickly said, "Thank you for your concern, but I don't want to disturb you anymore."

Lin Xue'er glared at Chu Ming and said, "You aren't thinking of running away because of the scolding, are you? "Really!"

Chu Ming replied, "No."

"Then don't say anymore. You are leaving tomorrow. I will chase you back and chop you into pieces with a kitchen knife." Lin Xue'er slapped her hands together in fear as she spoke viciously.

Chu Ming's heart chilled as he remembered how a tiger falling to the ground would be bullied by a dog.

Lin Xue'er didn't say anything else and went straight back to her room.

Chu Ming saw her enter the room and shook his head. He really didn't know what kind of situation he was in right now.

A wind began to blow outside the house, accompanied by the rustling and whistling sounds. Perhaps it was because of the sea, but such a strong wind often rang out here, and occasionally it would make people unable to sleep. For example, for Chu Ming, it was his first time coming in contact with a place like this, and after he had closed his eyes for several hours he still hadn't slept. This made him very annoyed.

Slowly, Chu Ming took out the teardrop from his chest, looked at the front, then looked at the other side. The two contrasts made him recall more things, which only increased the pain in his heart.

He sighed and held onto his tears as his thoughts turned pale. He could not bear it any longer. In the darkness of the night, the sound of crying could be heard.
