Chapter 158 Scar
What do you mean?
Mo Mingxuan scratched his temple with his index finger and said awkwardly, "I have tried my best to communicate. He said that there will be no food before dinner time, but he can provide us with ingredients and let us cook by ourselves."
Qiao Ruoxing...
No way, I have to cook for myself after coming to the cruise ship?
"I'd better wait for dinner."
As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach started to growl uncooperatively.
She adjusted her clothes awkwardly, "Let's go."
"Wait," Mo Mingxuan said, taking off his suit jacket, "Can you hold it for me for a while?"
Qiao Ruoxing didn't understand why, so she took it.
Mo Mingxuan wiped up the sleeves of his white shirt, took the frying pan thrown by the chef, and skillfully turned on the fire and added water.
Qiao Ruoxing was stunned for a moment, "You want to cook it yourself?"
Mo Mingxuan nodded, "Is pasta okay?"
Qiao Ruoxing was about to nod, but came to her senses and quickly shook her head, "No, no, don't do it. How can I ask you to cook? It will be dinner time in a little while."
"There are still two hours."
Mo Mingxuan said as he put the pasta into the pot, "I have come here with you to eat. I feel bad if you go back hungry."
Qiao Ruoxing really regretted asking Mo Mingxuan for food. She should have been patient. They were all out to play, and it was too unreasonable to ask him to cook.
She was fidgeting, and Mo Mingxuan saw her embarrassment, so he tried to chat to divert her attention.
"I always wanted to ask you before, how did you and Jingyan know each other?"
Qiao Ruoxing's attention was diverted.
"I met you through a blind date."
Gu Jingyan knew her through a blind date, but it was not the first time she met Gu Jingyan.
The first time she met Gu Jingyan was the day she and her mother had a car accident.
After the accident, the car overturned, her mother was thrown out of the car, and she was stuck in the car and couldn't move.
Before the rescuers arrived, she had already fallen into a coma due to blood loss.
In a daze, someone kicked the glass, unbuckled her seat belt, and dragged her out.
She took a look in a trance, and that one look engraved Gu Jingyan's face in her mind.
So much so that when she found out that it was him during a blind date later, she almost fell in love with him instantly.
There was no reason for her not to be tempted by a man who had saved her and was in her aesthetic point.
Just because Gu Jingyan could take action against a stranger, his character couldn't be bad.
So when Gu Jingyan proposed to get married, she thought for three seconds and made a quick decision.
At that time, friends who knew about this matter advised her.
Tell her not to make a decision too early. She is still young and has just graduated from college. She has not experienced the depth of society yet. If she steps into marriage first, she will definitely suffer.
Moreover, she has not been in contact with Gu Jingyan for a long time. How can she give herself to him so hastily just because he saved someone once?
But sometimes people are a little bad. When others don't let you do it, you have to do it, and you have to use the results to prove that your choice is not wrong.
She secretly gave Gu Jingyan a score in her heart. When she has enough expectations, she will show off in front of her friends to prove that her vision is not wrong.
Gu Jingyan is good-looking +10
Gu Jingyan has a bad temper -1
Gu Jingyan has a nice voice +100
Gu Jingyan comes home late and doesn't call -10
Gu Jingyan gives her a birthday present +10,000
Gu Jingyan's first love is not her -100
Gu Jingyan calls another woman's name when he has a fever -10,000
Gu Jingyan doesn't like her -100,000
……
As a result, after adding and subtracting, all that's left is disappointment.
Mo Mingxuan didn't look at her, gently stirring the noodles in the pot, and said lightly, "You were only in your early twenties at the time, why did you want to get married so early?"
Qiao Ruoxing didn't want to talk about the mess in the Qiao family, so he half-jokingly said, "I've never been married, I want to see what marriage is like."
Mo Mingxuan smiled, "How is it?"
Qiao Ruoxing said, "Not so good? It's better to be single."
Qiao Ruoxing didn't want to continue this topic, so he turned to ask him, "Lawyer Mo, do you have a girlfriend?"
Mo Mingxuan said lightly, "With my body, if I find a girl, won't it delay her?"
Qiao Ruoxing thought he was talking about his previous illness, so he said, "Aren't you all healed?"
Mo Mingxuan didn't say anything, and pulled the shirt net, Qiao Ruoxing suddenly fell silent.
Above his wrist, there were large burn scars, and the skin was hideous, like a tumor entrenched on his forearm, which looked shocking.
Qiao Ruoxing's heart choked and he looked away.
Mo Mingxuan calmly pulled down his sleeves, smiled, and said lightly, "You must be scared."
Qiao Ruoxing then realized that it was a bit rude to look away, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry..."
"It's okay," Mo Mingxuan said indifferently, "I would be scared if I saw it myself."
Qiao Ruoxing took a long time to calm down, and then whispered, "Actually, I wasn't scared, I just felt a little uncomfortable..."
She paused and whispered, "It hurt a lot...at that time?"
Mo Mingxuan paused.
He took the colander to fish out the noodles, poured out the noodle soup, put it back on the stove, picked up a piece of butter and gently turned it around the bottom of the pot a few times.
After a while, he said, "It's been too long, I don't remember it clearly."
Qiao Ruoxing said, "It's okay if you can't remember it, it won't be so painful if you can't remember it."
She suddenly realized that every time they met, Mo Mingxuan's shirt was buttoned up to the top button very carefully, and his sleeves were always below his wrists.
Although the weather in Jiangcheng is not hot now, the temperature is still not low when the sun is directly shining at noon. The last time they had dinner at the school gate, she was sweating from the sun, but Mo Mingxuan was still wrapped up tightly.
She thought that lawyers paid more attention to their appearance, but she didn't expect that he was doing it to cover up the scars on his body.
She shouldn't have mentioned a girlfriend so quickly, otherwise Lawyer Mo wouldn't have exposed his scars.
Qiao Ruoxing was annoyed, Mo Mingxuan had already cooked the noodles, picked up a handful of noodles and put it in the bowl and handed it to her, "Try it."
Qiao Ruoxing took it, took a bite, and gave a thumbs up, "Super delicious."
Mo Mingxuan smiled, "Let's go to the restaurant."
Qiao Ruoxing's praise was absolutely sincere. Mo Mingxuan's cooking skills were really good, much better than the cream pasta she made.
Qiao Ruoxing was very considerate and ate everything up.
When she finished, Mo Mingxuan was about to collect the dishes, but Qiao Ruoxing didn't dare to bother him anymore, so she took the initiative to send the dishes to the kitchen and washed them.
When they came out, it was completely dark. Mo Mingxuan said, "There's no one in the theater anymore. They should all be on the deck. Let's go over there together."
Qiao Ruoxing nodded.
As soon as the two came out, Qiao Ruoxing saw an uninvited guest and frowned immediately, "Why is she here?"
