Jiang Yuan lingered in the bathroom for quite a while before she mustered up the courage to reopen the door and step out.
She didn't see Xu Jiayan's figure in the room, which made Jiang Yuan breathe a slight sigh of relief. Only after the heat on her face had subsided somewhat did she take a deep breath, adjust her state of mind, and walk out of the room.
Xu Jiayan was busy in the kitchen. Hearing footsteps, he came out and asked, "Have you eaten?"
Jiang Yuan shook her head.
"Then perfect, I'm boiling noodles. Let's eat together in a bit!" After speaking, he went back to the kitchen.
A moment later, he came out carrying two bowls of noodles.
Jiang Yuan stirred the noodles in her bowl with chopsticks, glancing up at him several times, hesitating as though she wanted to say something.
Xu Jiayan glanced at her and said, "Eat up! We can talk after you're done."
