Supremely Talented Tyrant

Chapter 2158 - 2359: My Parents Are Back!!!

Hungry? Hao Jian looked puzzled. It's already late at night, and suddenly saying you're hungry. If you eat now and your stomach gets full, how can you sleep? He used a confused expression to look at Zhang Danlin, pretending not to understand what she was saying.Zhang Danlin maybe knew what he was thinking inside, so she said, "I heard Fatty Hu Lai and the others say that your cooking is particularly tempting to eat. I'm hungry now, and once my stomach is hungry, I can't sleep. If I can't sleep, you'll have to keep me company all night, so you better make something for me to eat. After eating, I'll be able to sleep comfortably."

After saying that, she looked at Hao Jian with a proud look, quite happy. She knew Hao Jian was definitely planning to sneak away secretly; last time, just as she closed her eyes for a moment, Hao Jian was already gone when she turned back. Hence, she learned from the last experience, knowing that Hao Jian would sneak away when she fell asleep, so why not stay awake and have Hao Jian do something for her?

Actually, she didn't hear about Hao Jian's cooking from Hu Lai and Fatty; it was just by chance that she overheard Liang Xiaohan talking to a few people around her. She happened to walk past and heard it, so she remembered it.

She kept thinking, humph, if you have the chance to eat Hao Jian's cooking, then I also have a chance. Isn't today a good opportunity?

When Hao Jian heard this, he showed an awkward smile. Zhang Danlin really knows how to seize the moment, figuring out he would sneak away when she fell asleep, so she said she couldn't sleep when hungry, forcing him to make something for her to eat. For one to prepare something, at least half an hour to an hour would be spent.

But with the situation before him, he has no choice. He's left with only one option. He helplessly nodded his head and asked Zhang Danlin, "Alright, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you now."

"Hmm..." Zhang Danlin playfully half-bit her finger and began to think, "I want to eat boiled noodles, yes, just boil a bowl of noodles. Fortunately, I have a lot of scallions in my kitchen. Just add a lot of scallions; I love the flavor of scallions in noodles, it's especially fragrant."

Boiled noodles? More scallions? Hao Jian looked at Zhang Danlin with a puzzled expression, thinking, what's going on? Are all girls interested in the same taste now? Liang Xiaohan also likes to eat boiled noodles late at night with extra scallions, and now Zhang Danlin is the same, wanting noodles late at night with more scallions. He wanted to ask what this was about, but recalling Zhang Danlin's previous demeanor, he immediately held his tongue.

He nodded and said, "Alright, okay, I'll go make it now."

Zhang Danlin showed a satisfied smile, her dimples revealing themselves, looking very pretty. What Hao Jian may not know is that Zhang Danlin doesn't particularly like boiled noodles with extra scallions; she overherd it when passing by Liang Xiaohan and saw her being happy.

She thought, if you can eat it, then I can eat it too. Look, this time Hao Jian is making noodles for me.

Of course, Hao Jian didn't know Zhang Danlin's inner thoughts. After asking where the kitchen was, he then walked towards it, entered, took out the necessary ingredients, and turned on the stove, beginning to boil water and preparing slowly.

"Hmm... Let me see how you cook." Zhang Danlin unknowingly had walked up behind Hao Jian.

Seeing her enter the kitchen, Hao Jian said, "The kitchen has an oily smell, you better go out, otherwise you'll have to take a shower later."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Danlin didn't comply, saying, "There's an oily smell, so be it; I don't mind. At most, I'll just take another shower."

Hao Jian was helpless and couldn't find any reason to refute her, so he let her stand there. It didn't bother her anyway; if she's not afraid of the kitchen smell, then let her be. He focused on his tasks, and slowly the water came to a boil, after which he started cooking the noodles.

After putting in the noodles, he began adding the seasonings methodically. People say serious men are the most attractive; Zhang Danlin stood behind quietly watching Hao Jian with a satisfied look. She thought Hao Jian looked handsome at this moment, especially as he was seriously cooking noodles for her, making her even happier.

Soon, the kitchen's aroma began to waft out, and Zhang Danlin's face lit up with a satisfied smile, just smelling this fragrance made her hungry and eager to feast.

"All done!" Hao Jian said, then scooped a bowl of noodles out and placed it on the table.

Both left the kitchen, and Hao Jian placed the noodles on the table, handing a pair of chopsticks to Zhang Danlin. Zhang Danlin sat on the chair, took the chopsticks, looking satisfied.

"Eat up," Hao Jian said.

Zhang Danlin picked up her chopsticks and first took a whiff of the aroma, and immediately started devouring the noodles. Despite Hao Jian being there, after taking one bite, the noodles were simply too delicious. One bite made her hungry, so she couldn't bother with Hao Jian being next to her. She didn't care about her eating manners and focused solely on the noodles.

Soon, she finished the entire bowl of noodles. At this moment, she put down her chopsticks with a satisfied look on her face, then looked at Hao Jian, happily praising, "It's really delicious!"

Hao Jian chuckled foolishly, "If it's good, shall I make you another bowl?"

Zhang Danlin quickly waved her hands, "No, no, I'm already full."

Eating even one bowl was already a taboo; eating so late at night makes it easy to gain weight. She had this bowl purely because of Hao Jian. If it weren't for wanting to eat something made by Hao Jian, she wouldn't have eaten it. If someone else made it, she would have firmly refused. Eating after ten-thirty is unsuitable because it's not good for digestion, and secondly, it's easy to gain weight, which every girl hates.

Hao Jian was only joking. Seeing her refuse, he just smiled and didn't say anything more. He had already gotten covered in the smell of oil and smoke while cooking the noodles in the kitchen, a scent he detested. When it clings to him, it's uncomfortable, so he needed a shower. Seeing that Zhang Danlin was done, he asked, "Uh, where's your bathroom? I need to take a shower."

Zhang Danlin noticed he was all sweaty from cooking noodles for her and pointed to the bathroom, "It's just turn left over there."

Afterward, she got up and led Hao Jian over, handed him some toiletries, and then returned to the living room.

Hao Jian took off his clothes and turned on the shower. When the water hit his body, it felt incredibly soothing, almost like it washed away the fatigue of the entire day. First, he rinsed with cold water to wake himself up, and once his body adjusted to the coolness, he started using warm water to make his skin comfortable.

This was Hao Jian's usual method. It allows the skin and muscles to work perfectly together, opening and closing, especially suitable for relaxing after training.

After rinsing with cold water, Hao Jian turned on the warm water. As the warm water showered him, suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door. Instantly, he frowned.

Outside, Zhang Danlin's anxious voice could be heard, "Hao Jian, Hao Jian!"

"Hmm?" Hearing Zhang Danlin's urgent voice from outside, he frowned, not sure what had suddenly happened to make her so nervous.

"Um…" Zhang Danlin was starting to get nervous, "Hurry and open up, my parents suddenly came back!"

What! Her parents came back! Hao Jian's eyebrows furrowed deeply. If her parents saw him here, late at night nearing midnight, with a guy in the bathroom, they would almost certainly jump to conclusions. Especially since they're her parents. If they found out their daughter let a guy stay over so late, they'd likely scold her, and definitely not let him off easily.

He was momentarily stunned; the sudden turn of events had left him a bit dazed. Just moments ago, Zhang Danlin had invited him to sleep over, but now her parents returned.

He was flustered too. What if her parents saw him, a guy, at a girl's house so late at night? How would that look? He didn't say a word, then followed Zhang Danlin's instructions and opened the door, taking precautions by wrapping himself tightly in a bathrobe first.

When the door opened, she saw Zhang Danlin's perfectly fair face. Simultaneously, Zhang Danlin saw him through the steam—his muscular body, perfect physique, and it sparked endless imagination. For a moment, she was a bit dazed.

She didn't know why her parents suddenly came back. They had said they would return in a few days, but she just received a message saying they were already back, on their way home, and in the neighborhood, asking if she was asleep. She was startled and hurried to inform Hao Jian.

But as she was thinking about this, intending to let Hao Jian know and have him quickly hide, she had just entered the bathroom, and upon seeing Hao Jian, her face blushed and she got lost in a momentary trance. She regained her senses only to hear the sound of the door opening.

It was too late. If Hao Jian were to try hiding now, he wouldn't have time. He wouldn't be able to make a few steps out of the bathroom without her parents seeing him.

The situation erupted so suddenly, she didn't even have time to react.
