Cornered

Huo Mian sluggishly raised her head and saw Qin Chu sitting on the couch. He was wearing a toffee-colored dress shirt, casual pants, and on his wrist was a luxurious limited edition Patek Philippe diamond watch. His fingers danced on the keyboard of his laptop; it looked like he was busy working.

"Mhm," Huo Mian drowsily replied.

"I cooked, let's eat together."

He did not wait for a reply from Huo Mian as he put down his laptop and walked into the kitchen.

Then, he brought out two servings of toast, bacon, and hot coffee.

Huo Mian wanted to say that she wasn't hungry, but, as she opened her mouth, her stomach immediately betrayed her and rumbled.

Qin Chu put the toast and coffee in front of her on the coffee table.

Huo Mian didn't want to seem stuck up, so she slowly dug in.

Perhaps it was her hunger, or maybe some other reason, but the food was delicious.
