Chapter 176 This is a new skill I've learned.
Chu Xiaohuan lowered the curtain before he even arrived in Luocheng, not wanting Li Mo'er to know of his arrival.
However, the truth is that before they even arrived, news of General Chu's pledge to the army had already reached Luocheng.
However, Li Mo'er and the others hadn't gone out these past few days and were unaware of this news.
By the time they received the news, Chu Xiaohuan and his men had already set up camp at the border.
Wang Cheng and Qingzhu are now staying close to Chu Xiaohuan, worried that something might happen to him.
"General, it's time to eat."
Qingzhu handed the chopsticks in her hand to Chu Xiaohuan, but Chu Xiaohuan only glanced at them briefly; he had no appetite.
Wang Cheng stood aside, growing anxious. He had initially thought this was just the early stages of pregnancy and not true morning sickness; he thought the discomfort was simply due to the carriage ride.
Unexpectedly, Chu Xiaohuan didn't touch any of the dishes she had specially asked the chef at Yingkelou to prepare these past two days.
Wang Cheng glanced at Chu Xiaohuan, whose face showed no improvement but who was forcing himself to be energetic, and gritted his teeth, deciding to go find Li Mo'er.
Li Mo'er had just heard about Chu Xiaohuan's situation and was wondering whether she should go and visit him.
But seeing Shen Zicen looking a little nervous beside her, she gave up the idea. Going there would upset A-Cen, and Yanli was about to give birth and couldn't be separated from her.
Actually, Shen Zicen was nervous because he was afraid that others would find out that he might have found a "husband" for Mo'er.
Su Yanli noticed Li Mo'er's unusual behavior, gently touched her arm, and asked softly.
"What's wrong?"
Li Mo'er shook her head without saying a word, and simply walked to the window, quietly watching the snow outside.
Wang Jingmo also noticed Li Mo'er's unusual behavior, so he took the initiative to walk to her side and tugged at her sleeve.
"Mo'er, I'm hungry."
Wang Jingmo even nuzzled her shoulder affectionately. Li Mo'er turned her head, smiled, and gently tapped the tip of his nose.
Li Mo'er has always been very good to Wang Jingmo, and because he is young, she spoils him quite a bit.
She usually agrees to whatever conditions he sets.
Of course, Li Mo'er would agree to it no matter who it was.
However, her attitude was completely different. If Shen Zicen were next to her now, she might push his head away and say, "Make it yourself if you want to eat it."
If it were Su Yanli, she might make him kiss her as payment.
If it were Shen Ziche, she might kiss him and then hug him and spin him around excitedly, since he doesn't often make requests.
Of course, all of these were ultimately cooked by Li Mo'er herself.
Li Mo'er glanced at Wang Jingmo, who was blinking, and patted his head. "Okay, I'll go make it for you."
"I don't want to eat noodles."
Dr. Wang casually remarked, "Her son only knows how to be hungry; he doesn't even know what he wants to eat."
The problem is that Li Mo'er always cooks noodles, and she really wants to change it up.
Upon hearing this, Wang Jingmo and Li Mo'er both turned to look at Doctor Wang.
His eyes conveyed two words: Shut up!
Dr. Wang shut her mouth helplessly. They were all bullying her, a lonely old woman, and showed no respect for the elderly or care for the young.
Li Mo'er stayed in the kitchen alone, not letting them follow her, and started cooking noodles using the vegetables in the kitchen.
However, while she was making noodles, Chu Xiaohuan's image would occasionally pop into her mind.
Unable to resist any longer, Wang Cheng secretly crept up to the wall of the Shen residence. She had been there many times before and knew exactly where to climb up.
She stared at the wall, which was about two meters high, rubbed her hands together, and tried to jump up, but after jumping around for a long time, she still couldn't get up.
She could only move a few bricks from the side to step on. Although this was not the lowest part of the courtyard wall, she clearly remembered that there was a pile of firewood below, so falling down wouldn't hurt.
Despite the freezing weather, Wang Cheng worked up a sweat before slowly climbing up.
When she saw the firewood below, she couldn't help but scream.
The firewood has gone from a pile to a single layer. This person is so unreliable; they don't even bother to replenish the firewood when it gets low.
Although it was covered with a layer of snow, she didn't know if it would hurt if she jumped down.
She could only close her eyes and jump down, fortunately without getting hurt.
She crouched down like a thief and went to the kitchen, where she saw Li Mo'er busy at work.
I was secretly relieved; it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.
Once Li Mo'er is finished, she can quietly take some back with her.
Thinking about this, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, when she stepped on a tree branch.
Upon hearing this, Li Mo'er replied without even looking up, "Almost there, just wait a little longer."
Wang Cheng instinctively replied, "Okay."
When Li Mo'er heard the voice, she realized it wasn't Wang Jingmo and his group, so she turned around and looked back.
Wang Cheng looked like a refugee, with a few straws mixed in with his clothes and hair.
"Sister Wang, when did you get back?"
Caught red-handed, Wang Cheng scratched his head sheepishly, "I just got back and was thinking of coming to see you."
Li Mo'er looked at Wang Cheng in confusion, "Sister Wang, did you climb over the wall to get in?"
Wang Cheng smiled sheepishly.
"Why would Sister Wang need to climb the wall? She could just knock on the door."
"Yes!"
Wang Cheng cried out in surprise. She had forgotten that she could appear in front of Li Mo'er. She had been hiding from Li Mo'er for so long, and it wasn't her.
She immediately straightened her head, brushed the snowflakes off her body, and said without changing her expression, "This is a new skill I've learned."
As she spoke, her eyes glanced towards the pot.
Seeing that the noodles were ready, Li Mo'er ladled out a bowl and handed it to Wang Cheng.
"Sister Wang, you eat first, I'll take it to them first."
"Hmm~"
Wang Chengxing happily accepted the bowl, not caring that it was too hot to handle, only feeling its warmth.
Seeing that Li Mo'er hadn't left yet, she pretended to eat, but she picked up the noodles with her chopsticks several times without actually putting them in her mouth.
Seeing that Li Mo'er was about to leave, Wang Cheng replied, "I'll leave after I finish eating, and I'll come find you again tomorrow."
As soon as Li Mo'er walked away, Wang Cheng immediately found the bamboo tube she had prepared in advance and poured the noodles from his bowl into it.
He placed the bamboo tube in front of his chest, then returned to the spot where he had just landed, intending to climb back up the wall.
Remembering Li Mo'er's words, he swaggered out through the side door.
