"Hey, where are you moving to?" Alice Conley asked hurriedly.
"To your place, where else? You go press the elevator button first," Dorian Howards replied.
"Wait, are these fruits you brought for my family?" Alice was a bit taken aback.
"What else?" He glanced at this girl who still hadn’t pressed the elevator button. Dorian had to put down the boxes and push the elevator button himself.
Even though Dorian considered himself sowhat strong, carrying these two boxes of fruits still felt heavy.
"But didn’t we already get fruits with the New Year goods?" Alice asked.
"New Year goods are New Year goods; this is separate. Two different things. The fruits in the New Year goods won’t be delivered until a week later. These are for your family to eat now," Dorian explained, noticing her unappreciative look, as if she was about to refuse. So, he added, "I bought these for your parents. If you don’t eat them, aren’t you at least going to let them eat? If you really won’t accept them, I’ll bring them over again when your parents are at ho."
In short, these fruits were definitely going into her house.
Alice estimated Dorian’s stubbornness and finally compromised. It’s not worth arguing over two boxes of fruits!
The elevator arrived, and Dorian once more carried the fruits into the elevator. Suddenly, the weight lightened—it turned out Alice was helping on the side, sharing so of the burden.
"Even if you want to win over my parents in the future, don’t buy so much stuff. If you give a lot now but soday you stop, they’ll feel the difference," she said.
He raised a brow slightly, "How could that ever happen? I’ll buy for them every year as long as they like eating them."
Alice opened her mouth but didn’t continue. Actually, she wanted to say that in the future, if he found soone else he liked and got married, he naturally wouldn’t continue playing the role of a good son-in-law. However, he pretended not to understand, and she didn’t know how to say it.
Alice unlocked the door to her ho, finding no one was there at the mont. She let Dorian place the fruits on one side of the living room floor. Then she looked up at the ti; it was already past 12:30, no wonder she was feeling hungry.
So Alice walked into the kitchen, took a look, and found there wasn’t much to eat—just a few packets of instant noodles in the cupboard.
Alice grabbed a packet of instant noodles, then after so thought, she peeked out of the kitchen and said to Dorian in the living room, "All we have is instant noodles. If you want to eat, I’ll cook so for you too. If not, there are plenty of places to eat outside the neighborhood. See if there’s sothing you like."
After all, the New Year supplies weren’t fully stocked yet, and she still had to visit other markets in the afternoon.
"I’ll eat whatever you’re eating," Dorian said with a smile.
Alright, two packets of instant noodles then.
Alice put the two packets of instant noodles into the pot, added the seasoning packets, and before long, two bowls of noodles were ready.
Alice placed the two bowls on a tray, turned her head, and suddenly noticed Dorian standing quietly at the kitchen door, watching her with a gentle gaze.
"You..."
"Let do it," Dorian said, taking the tray from her hands, then walked to the dining table and set the two bowls of noodles down.
The two of them sat down, Alice burying her head in her noodles. After a while, she looked up to see that Dorian hadn’t started eating yet; he was still watching her, as if there was a flower blooming on her face.
