I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 462 I'm happy to eat like this, it's fine.

"okay..."

Liao Haomiao didn't expect Zhu Tao to get used to his smoking so quickly...

He thought Zhu Tao would definitely oppose it vehemently...

"Just smoke a little less, okay?"

Zhu Tao looked at Liao Haomiao and asked in a gentle tone, wanting to discuss it with him properly.

Liao Haomiao nodded quickly and agreed, "Yes, of course. I only smoke four or five cigarettes a day. I will try to smoke less, and it would be even better if I could quit."

"That's right! If you can quit, then quit as soon as possible. Good luck!"

Zhu Tao said happily, giving Liao Haomiao a thumbs-up.

"Um..."

Liao Haomiao took out a cigarette from his pocket. The cigarette was very cheap because he didn't have the money to smoke good cigarettes.

He took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and then lit it with a lighter...

"Hush-huh-"

After lighting it, Liao Haomiao took a drag and slowly exhaled the smoke. At that moment, his gaze fell upon Zhu Tao, who was squatting beside him, quietly watching him...

"Uh...what's wrong?"

Liao Haomiao looked at Zhu Tao awkwardly and asked in a low voice.

Zhu Tao chuckled, stood up, and said, "It's nothing. You look quite handsome when you smoke."

After saying that, she went to the kitchen, leaving Liao Haomiao alone, sitting there stunned for a few seconds...

"Handsome? Is he?"

After showering that evening, the two went back to their bedroom to sleep. Zhu Tao felt unusually insecure that night, clinging tightly to Liao Haomiao in bed, refusing to let go even as she tried to sleep...

The next morning, Liao Haomiao was woken by his alarm clock. He opened his eyes and looked out the window at the sun, which had just risen...

Just as he looked to the side, searching for Zhu Tao, he discovered that she wasn't beside him...

"Uh..."

Liao Haomiao was stunned for a moment, and after realizing what was happening, he sat up from the bed, picked up his glasses from the side, and put them on.

In the past, when I woke up, Zhu Tao was always sleeping soundly beside me. Why is she up so early today?

When Liao Haomiao walked out of the bedroom, he found Zhu Tao in the kitchen, unsure whether she was cooking or doing something else...

"Whoosh—hiss—"

Wearing an apron, Zhu Tao fiddled with the contents of the pot, and when she accidentally burned her hand, she quickly blew on it...

When she took those things out, she saw Liao Haomiao come out of the bedroom.

She stood there, gave an awkward laugh, and then placed the plate on the dining table...

Liao Haomiao was shocked to find that it really was breakfast prepared for him. The fried egg was broken into pieces, with chunks of burnt black filling... and it had an indescribable smell...

There was also a cup of coffee, but the color was a bit pale. Liao Haomiao guessed that Zhu Tao didn't know how much water to put in, so she added too much...

Since the bread was readily available, it was the only decent-looking item on site...

"Good morning, baby. I made you... uh... breakfast..."

Zhu Tao stood there, clutching her apron helplessly with both hands, head down, and whispered.

"okay..."

Liao Haomiao sat down, wondering why Zhu Tao, who never cooked, had suddenly made him breakfast this morning...

Is it because of what happened last night? But what happened last night is all in the past, and we've already agreed on everything. Why is she still worried?

"I'm sorry... I don't know how to do it... I tried my best."

Zhu Tao was utterly embarrassed. She had envisioned preparing a sumptuous and exquisite meal, but it turned out like this! This was completely different from what she had planned...

"It's alright. After all, it's the first time you've made breakfast for me. It's very good. I'll eat it all."

Liao Haomiao didn't care about these things; he only cared about Zhu Tao's intentions. No matter how well she did it, at least her intentions were good.

Seeing this breakfast can brighten his mood for the whole day!

Liao Haomiao first picked up the cup of coffee, took a sip, and tasted it. It was alright, but there was too much water in it, and the flavor was very weak...

Then he picked up his chopsticks, ready to eat the fried egg...

Since they were all fried into small pieces, he picked up one of the larger pieces and ate it.

"Um..."

"delicious."

Under Zhu Tao's anxious gaze, Liao Haomiao swallowed, gave her a thumbs-up, and nodded repeatedly...

"Really? Don't just make things up to make me happy. It's all... burnt. Maybe you shouldn't eat it, or you'll get a stomachache..."

Zhu Tao was still a little worried; the food she made didn't look appetizing at all and couldn't possibly be considered delicious.

Liao Haomiao completely ignored what Zhu Tao was saying, sandwiched a fried egg between pieces of bread, and took a big bite...

"I'm happy to eat this kind of food, it's fine."

Liao Haomiao finished his meal in a few bites, scraping the plate clean, leaving not a single bite, and also drank all his coffee...

Zhu Tao stood there, watching Liao Haomiao finish his meal as if it were some kind of delicacy, when in reality it was something she had made that should have been thrown in the trash...

After Liao Haomiao finished eating, he wiped his mouth, then stood up and went to Zhu Tao.

Suddenly, he cupped her cheeks, kissed her lips, and whispered:

Thank you for breakfast.

After saying that, he went to the bathroom to start washing up.

Zhu Tao stood there, pursed her lips, but the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up, and her eyes revealed joy...

After Liao Haomiao finished packing, he found that Zhu Tao had also prepared all his things and was standing at the door.

Liao Haomiao smiled slightly, put on his coat, walked to the door to take his things, and then left a gentle kiss on Zhu Tao's forehead.

"I'm off to work."

"Okay! Be careful on the road! Good luck!"

"OK!"

Liao Haomiao walked out the door with a smile. He was in a very good mood today, which was completely opposite to his state the night before.

He now understands that Zhu Tao's attitude can determine his mood, and her attitude today has filled him with motivation.

The reason she acted that way was probably because of his promise, and also because of his love for her.

Therefore, in relationships, mutual effort is essential; one-sided obsession cannot sustain a relationship.

Mutual responsiveness and effort are essential for a relationship to grow closer and more stable, enabling couples to enjoy living together comfortably.

Liao Haomiao and Zhu Tao have both now realized this truth, and they also know how to act in the future...

After Liao Haomiao went to work, Zhu Tao started tidying up the house, washing all the dishes and utensils.

Then, she started thinking about how to find a job...

"Let's contact Ranran and see what she's been up to lately..."
