C153 I'm Afraid of Fire It's Because I've Been Burned Before
He had also taken a shower and his hair was still a little wet. He wore a light nightgown and took off his entire person. He had lost his usual cold and powerful aura, which made him appear much more gentle at home.
Soong Yiren walked over and said, "I have finished bathing."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that she seemed to be inviting him to sleep with her. Hence, she hurriedly said, "Are you hungry?"
After asking, she suddenly felt that her real brain had gone crazy. When he called in the evening, didn't Gong Lingye also say that he was having dinner with Luo Tianqi and the others?
As he was thinking of ways to remedy the situation, Gong Lingye nodded his head. "Yes, I'm a little hungry. Do you want to have supper?"
"You're not full at night?" Soong Yiren was surprised.
"I didn't have much appetite at that time." In fact, he only picked two mouthfuls of food and spent the rest of his time drinking.
"It's already so late, why don't we eat at home?" Soong Yiren said, "I don't think I'm full either. I can eat a little more."
"Go out and eat. The chef is not at home." Gong Lingye said, "I haven't been back recently, so I let him go back."
"It's fine. It's too late. It will take a lot of time to go out. Why don't I go and cook? " After Soong Yiren said that, she suddenly realized what she should do.
Surprise flashed across Gong Lingye's eyes and he stood up. "Nuan, you know how to cook?"
Soong Yiren also did not know everything. In her previous life, she had never entered the kitchen and did not even know how to cook eggs.
If Yu Ruonuan was in person, she would not have done it even if she searched her memories. After all, the Yu family was a small 'noble' and there were specialized maids in the family.
However, the words were already on the table. Hence, Soong Yiren still kept silent and opened her mouth to speak. "Just make a tomato egg noodles, okay?"
Gong Lingye was interested and said, "Okay."
Soong Yiren went to the kitchen nervously. Before she left, she said to Gong Lingye, "Just wait for me here. I will call you later."
She went in and found the ingredients first. She heaved a sigh of relief. There were still things she needed.
Then, she turned on her phone, flipped through the cooking app, and searched for 'tomato egg noodles'.
She had always been very good at learning. After reading the 'instruction manual', she felt that it was quite simple.
She took two pots and a pot and started boiling water. Then, she made some eggs and mixed them evenly. She cut the tomatoes and put them aside for backup.
After boiling oil, Soong Yiren followed the instructions. When the oil was spicy, she poured the eggs first.
However, she never knew that there was water in the eggs. In addition, she was a little too hot. When she poured the eggs in, hot oil immediately splashed out. With a crackling sound, a drop landed on the back of her hand.
The sudden pain and the flame in her eyes made Soong Yiren feel like she had returned to that nightmare. She threw away the shovel in her hand. Because she threw it over in a panic, oil splashed out again.
She screamed in fear and turned around to run.
Outside, Gong Lingye heard the noise and ran over as fast as he could. Just as he walked to the kitchen door, a soft body hit him in the arms.
He had never seen Soong Yiren panic like this before. Her hands tightly grabbed his chest. Because of the force, the nails on the clothes in front of him made him a little angry. The sharp pain filled her entire body with uneasiness. She was like a drowning person hugging a floating wood. She tightly grabbed onto him, pressing all of her strength and center of gravity onto his body.
"Nuan, what's wrong? Did you get burned by the oil?" Gong Lingye quickly picked Soong Yiren up and walked to the front of the gas stove. He turned off the stove and carried her out in large strides. "Let me take a look. Are you hurt?"
Soong Yiren still tightly hugged his neck and refused to let go.
He also realized that she was mainly frightened and not injured. So, he let her hug him and reached out to pat her back.
After a long time, her tensed nerves finally relaxed a little.
He felt it and so as if they were discussing, "Nuan," he said. Let go of me. Let me see where you got the heat from."
Soong Yiren slowly let go of Gong Lingye. She looked up and her face was full of tears. Her voice was also trembling. "Gong Lingye, I am afraid of the fire. I thought it was burning me..."
Her eyes were red and her small face was watery. She was in his arms and her figure was delicate. Her small, trembling face made his heart tighten.
"Nuan, look, there is no fire. It is fine. Don't be afraid. No matter what happens, I will protect you." After saying that, Gong Lingye hugged Soong Yiren again and then picked up her hand to take a look.
There were three red dots on the back of the fair hand. Fortunately, there were no blisters.
"Nuan, I'll go and apply the burn ointment on you." Gong Lingye said and let go of Soong Yiren.
Soong Yiren was still in shock. Her eyes followed Gong Lingye and waited eagerly.
Very quickly, Gong Lingye brought the medical kit over. He found the burn ointment and carefully applied it on Soong Yiren with a cotton swab.
A cold feeling came from the back of her hand and Soong Yiren's panicked heart gradually calmed down.
She looked at Gong Lingye's lowered eyes and the side of his face where he seriously applied the medicine on her. She said, "I'm afraid of fire. I was burned before..."
At that time, her entire body was crippled. She was swallowed by the fire bit by bit until she completely died. She would never forget this feeling in her entire life.
At this moment, Gong Lingye had just finished painting and raised his eyes.
Soong Yiren took a deep breath and tried her best to get rid of those nightmares.
She leaned on Gong Lingye's chest and absorbed the warmth from him as she opened her mouth to speak. "Are you angry because I invited those people today and didn't tell you in advance? " Also, I didn't tell you why I knew them... "
Gong Lingye heard Soong Yiren's nasal voice and the pity in his heart became deeper, "Nuan, if you are in a difficult situation, then don't say anymore."
"It is not difficult. It was - "Soong Yiren's hands unconsciously tightened. Her nails had lost their color due to the force. She opened her mouth. Actually, did you more or less guess it? "
She lifted her eyes to look at him." You must feel that I am not like the original Yu Ruonuan. My personality has changed. I know a lot of strange people, right? "
Gong Lingye nodded and reached out to wipe the tear stains on Soong Yiren's face. "Yes, I am a little puzzled."
"I am indeed not the Yu Ruonuan of the past." Soong Yiren took a deep breath and tightly locked Gong Lingye's eyes.
He did not seem to be surprised and just quietly listened to her continue.
"Those people who appeared in the base today, including Chi Jingyu. I do know all of them. " Soong Yiren's heart was beating fast. "I wanted to make a more advanced unmanned car, so I called them over. I was thinking... "If one of them changes, it might be detrimental to me. You will protect me. "
As she finished speaking, she raised her head, lips... Her lips trembled violently. "Gong Lingye, you will protect me, right?"
Gong Lingye nodded and said seriously, "Nuan, don't worry about what you do. " Since you are under my watch, I will guarantee your safety one hundred percent! "
Soong Yiren's eyes were slightly red. "It is not that I don't trust you, but I subconsciously feel that you are my biggest escape route. But if I tell you all the truth, will there be no escape route? "
She did not know how to express the complex emotions in her heart and just looked at him with red eyes.
Gong Lingye was softhearted by Soong Yiren's look. He sighed and lowered his head to kiss her eyes. "Nuan, no matter who you are, you are the woman I like. I will let you know that my escape route will not disappear. Even if I am not in this world, it will still exist."
As a result, during the most difficult moments in the future, or many years later, he would still remember her current expression.
She shed her usual strong and rational mind, removed her defense and disguise, and leaned into his arms. She cried weakly and helplessly, saying that he was her only way out. She was afraid of losing this way out, not because she did not believe him.
