Chapter 87: Invitation
Chapter 87: Invitation
There is no shortage of supplies in Yao Ran's space. She believes that she can live a good life even if she is alone. But if possible, Yao Ran still wants to live among humans.
The loneliness she experienced in her previous life was unbearable, and she hoped not to experience it again. But when she needs to leave, Yao Ran will leave without hesitation.
Although she had that determination, she was still happy when Long Yu helped her deal with those people just now. If possible, Yao Ran hopes she can live with Long Yu and the others for a long time.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Seeing that it was still early and she had nothing to do, Yao Ran decided to fill up the shelves in her space with food. When the extreme cold came, she didn't know if she would have the energy to cook.
She took cooking ingredients from her space and prepared various wonton fillings. After she was done with the fillings, Yao Ran took out a bag of flour and made wonton wrappers. By the time she finished wrapping all the wontons, Shi Xuan and the others came back.
Yao Ran put the wontons into plastic boxes and placed them on the shelf inside her space. When she wants to eat wontons, she just needs to take out a box and cook them. The quantity of wontons in each box is enough to make one serving of wonton soup.
After cleaning up the kitchen and washing her hands, she went out to see what they found today. When she came out of her apartment, Yao Ran saw the three men busy installing a metal door for unit 2001.
Huang Qian saw her coming and explained, "We were lucky enough to find these metal doors at the mall today, so we decided to bring them back."
Yao Ran nodded to express her understanding and then returned to her apartment. It seems that after last night's attack, everyone has increased their vigilance and tried to strengthen the security on the 20th floor.
Back in the kitchen, Yao Ran made a bowl of wonton soup and enjoyed a simple lunch. Before she could finish her lunch, Long Yu came.
He handed her two keys and said, "We installed two more metal doors on the stairs of the 19th and 18th floors."
Now, they need to go through three checkpoints to reach the 20th floor. With two more metal doors, everyone felt safer.
Yao Ran took the keys and thought for a moment. She remembered that Long Yu had helped her deal with those people in the morning and asked, "Have you eaten?"
Long Yu looked at her with a smile in his deep eyes and asked, "Do you want to treat me to lunch?"
Yao Ran nodded, "I cooked wonton soup for lunch. If you—"
Long Yu didn't wait for her to finish her words and quickly said, "I like wontons. Thank you for your invitation."
Looking into his smiling eyes, Yao Ran opened the door wider and said, "Come in and have a seat. I will get you a bowl of wonton soup."
Seeing her walking to the kitchen, Long Yu walked in and closed the door. He sat around the low table and smiled when he saw the half-eaten wonton soup on the lower table.
Not long after, Yao Ran came back with a big bowl of wonton soup, twice as large as hers. She calmly put wonton soup in front of Long Yu and sat down.
She then handed him the spoon and chopsticks and said, "I made several kinds of fillings. I don't know if they suit your taste."
Long Yu took the spoon and smiled, "As long as it's your cooking, I like it."
As she watched Long Yu eat, Yao Ran scratched her cheek and thought in doubt, 'I felt like I had just heard something incredible.'
Seeing that she was just staring at him, Long Yu asked with a smile, "You are not going to eat?"
Coming out of her thoughts, Yao Ran picked up the spoon and started eating.
After lunch, Long Yu took the bowls to the kitchen to wash them before Yao Ran could stand up. Since he was willing to work, Yao Ran decided to let him do it.
Yao Ran sat in the living room and looked at the rain outside. When Long Yu came out of the kitchen, he saw her staring at the heavy rain in a daze.
"Yao Ran, I'm going back first. Thank you for the lunch."
"Mhm." Yao Ran answered him without looking back.
He stared at her for a moment and then left.
After Long Yu left, Yao Ran entered the space and moved the safety boxes she brought from the office building to the villa. She used the key jammer and opened the safes one after
another.
As she expected, the antiques had disappeared. The only contents left in the safes were gold bars and some jewelry. Surprisingly, she discovers two guns and a lot of money in the large safe she took from the wealthy CEO's office.
After sorting out those valuables, Yao Ran left the space. As soon as her feet landed on the cold floor, she heard Long Yu's voice coming from outside.
"Yao Ran, can you open the door?"
Yao Ran opened the door and asked, "Did you forget something?"
He handed over a paper bag to her and said, "This is for you."
She took the paper bag and looked at it curiously. Yao Ran opened it and saw two boxes of chocolates inside, and her eyes suddenly lit up. This brand of chocolate is her favorite, and it's
very expensive.
Seeing her reaction, Long Yu smiled and said, "I heard that eating sweets can improve your mood."
Yao Ran held the chocolate and smiled at him, "Thank you for the chocolate."
The two looked at each other for a moment before Yao Ran said, "I want to show you
something. Please wait a moment."
