Chapter 893: Chapter 893: Truly a Man of Few Words
Hey, what a coincidence, she encountered that kid again.
Leng Yan was carrying a lunchbox, which should be his lunch. Except for the first day when Xia Nuo saw his mother, she hadn’t seen her since.
This kid is quite pitiful, not only is his mother the way she is, but she also left him uncared for, with no adults at home, it really makes one’s heart ache.
“Hey, little one.” Xia Nuo greeted him with a smile, Leng Yan turned his head to glance at her, without any response.
Such an aloof kid, he’s eaten her breakfast a few times, but doesn’t even greet her.
Xia Nuo wasn’t angry at him, just thought that this kind of personality won’t do him any good.
“What grade are you in?”
“Fifth grade.” Leng Yan didn’t ignore her.
Seeing him respond, Xia Nuo was eager to continue the conversation: “We’ve seen each other a few times, but I still don’t know your name. I’m Xia Nuo, Xia as in summer, Nuo as in promise, what’s your name?”
“Leng Yan.”
He’s indeed a person of few words.
“By the way, have you had lunch yet?”
Leng Yan nodded lightly.
Going upstairs to the door of her home, Xia Nuo said goodbye to him and opened the door to go inside. The little kid was not talkative, she wasn’t going to enthusiastically try to warm his cold demeanor.
Seeing the three dishes and one soup on the dining table, Xia Nuo felt a wave of nausea. She was already full, but if she didn’t eat, Aunt Zhao would definitely tell her mother.
Throwing it away would be wasteful, and she’s not one to waste food.
Knock knock knock.
Hearing the knock, Leng Yan ran to the door while eating his lunchbox. Nobody comes to his house, so he was curious who was knocking.
It turned out to be her!
“Hello!” Xia Nuo greeted him familiarly and glanced inside, everything in the living room was clear at a glance.
There was only a coffee table, a sofa set, nothing else.
The coffee table had a lunchbox on it, and beside it was a glass of water.
Such a solitary home.
“Are you home alone?” she asked.
Leng Yan nodded, standing at the door without inviting her in to sit.
Xia Nuo smiled and said, “Come to my house for lunch, I can’t finish it all by myself, and eating alone is no fun. Aunt Zhao’s cooking is really good, she made spicy chicken, scallions with tofu, stir-fried pork with mushrooms, and rib soup. Don’t eat the lunchbox, you’re at the age to grow, and being short, you need to eat well to grow tall.”
“Let’s go.”
Xia Nuo was dumbfounded, she worried he wouldn’t come over for lunch, and thought of a lot of reasons to convince him, but didn’t expect him to agree so readily.
However, after several encounters, she somewhat understood this kid. He’s not like other kids who are shy, afraid of strangers, or polite.
If you give him food, as long as it’s good, he’ll eat it without knowing what courtesy means.
Ah, she really wasted a lot of breath just now.
Taking two bowls from the kitchen, Xia Nuo gave him one and let him serve himself. She scooped a bit of rib soup to sip slowly, without planning to eat.
Leng Yan filled a big bowl and ate seriously. Aunt Zhao’s cooking was indeed delicious, seeing how much he ate was proof.
Xia Nuo took a few bites of the dishes symbolically, then heard her phone ringing, she stood up and said to him: “Just leave it when you’re done, I’ll take a call, feel free.”
Leng Yan didn’t respond to her, and she didn’t expect this kid to say any polite words.
