Chapter 38: Warm Breakfast

  Ye Anning woke up in the morning to find that the buttons had been quietly fastened back, after a good night's sleep. She subconsciously wanted to hold her sweet treasure tightly in her arms when she woke up, but her arms were empty. She squinted with sleepy eyes and finally found her treasure on the floor at the corner of the bed.

  How did she kick the baby to the ground? Half a sound, consciousness slowly returned to her mind. Right, there was an extra guest at home!

  Ye Anning subconsciously turned her head, the bed sheet beside her had been spread flat and smooth, as if no one had slept in it at all. If not for the extra pillow beside her, she would have thought she was dreaming.

  The house was quiet, not a sound could be heard. Ye Anning sat up with her hair in a mess, still drowsy and not fully awake. The door to the outer room opened, and she saw Pei Jun walk in, dressed neatly in casual clothes that she couldn't identify, holding breakfast in his hand. He glanced back at her lightly and said, "Up? Have some breakfast."

  The sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding came from the kitchen, and before long, a delicious aroma wafted through the house.

  Ye Anning took a deep breath, wow, it smells so good!

  How long has she not had breakfast? When going to work, almost every day is just on time, grabbing a bread in her hand and paying for it as breakfast. On weekends, it's even more impossible to get up, she will sleep until noon and then order takeout.

  Ye Anning was like a little dog, drooling and following the fragrance to get out of bed, hobbling with her crutches and making loud noises on the floorboards.

  Wow, it's really sumptuous! Golden fried eggs, oily water-boiled buns, millet porridge, small dishes, ham...

  Ye Anning's stomach growled in agreement and she reached out to grab a slice of ham, not even waiting until it was in her mouth.

  A loud crack

  Pei Jun slapped a chopstick on her hand, "Ouch! What's wrong with you!" Ye Anning glared at him angrily.

  "Go brush your teeth and wash your face first." Pei Jun didn't even glance at her, took a bite of the steamed bun, and the soup dripped down from the corner of his mouth. Ye Anning was so tempted that she almost went to grab the delicious food in his mouth, smiling and begging, "I'm so hungry, can I eat first and then wash?"

  Bai Jun couldn't bear to look at her, his eyes full of disgust. He had never seen such a slovenly woman before.

  Ye Anning pouted, really hungry, forget it, eating at someone else's house is embarrassing. Ye Anning took three steps back and forth, quickly tidying herself up before rushing to the dinner table, swallowing one steamed bun after another.

  "Your mouth is stuffed full, 'You went out to buy breakfast early this morning?'"

  Pei Jun's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, she didn't speak or sleep, she didn't have any of the virtues of a noble lady. However, looking at her with narrowed eyes and a satisfied expression, it wasn't entirely unpleasant. His gaze involuntarily fell on her heaving chest, forget it, he wouldn't bother with her anymore.

  "I'm going to work." Pei Jun elegantly wiped his mouth, came to the door, and behind him was her vague voice, "Bye, be careful on the road."

  Bai Jun's mouth corners curved slightly, he had never thought that one day he would live like this, in a place smaller than his family's bathroom, with a slovenly woman squeezed together on a small bed, and getting up early to go out and buy her breakfast, with a long line of old men and women behind him.

  However, the feeling of the first day was not bad, life was full of novelty everywhere, everything was what he had never experienced before.

  For Ye Anning, it was even more satisfying, having eaten his fill early in the morning, and being in a great mood for the whole day. Maybe taking him in wasn't a bad decision after all.
