Chapter 63 Thunder
Li Luo realized belatedly that he was being cared for just now? Was this a good start? Li Luo glanced at Ling Xiaoguang's reddened ears and was sure that the child was still feeling uncomfortable.

I felt like laughing for a moment. I didn’t expect that the little villain nowadays is still so naive!

Li Luo hummed a little tune and went to the kitchen to busy herself.

Wash the chicken, remove the internal organs and chicken butt, cut the chicken in half, and put the remaining half in the refrigerator.

All the yellow solid parts with heavy fat were cut off, and after washing away the blood, they were put into the casserole. After the pot boiled and foam floated up, Li Luo meticulously cleared out the blood.

After taking out the blanched chicken, Li Luo washed the impurities on the chicken with hot water, put it into the casserole, and added hot water from the bottle. The soup immediately became much clearer.

Li Luo also put red dates and wolfberries into the chicken soup to enhance the broth.

Then he neatly cut the meat into long and thin strips, marinated the strips with soy sauce and salt, poured some cooking oil to retain moisture, and also cut the green pepper into thin strips.

Heat the pan with cold oil. When the oil is hot, put a handful of peppercorns in. When the aroma of the peppercorns comes out, Li Luo picks out all the peppercorns before sliding the shredded pork in. After the shredded pork is poured in, flames suddenly shoot up high, and it looks all red from the outside.

This scene scared both Da Mao and Xiao Mao. They immediately ran to the kitchen to check the situation. At this time, Li Luo had already covered the pot.

"It's a small problem. The oil temperature is too high." Li Luo forced a smile. The two brothers saw that Li Luo was fine, so they returned to their seats and continued to do their homework.

Li Luo continued to concentrate on cooking, and the steam from the pot burst out smoothly. When the shredded meat changed color and was almost cooked, Li Luo poured in the chili peppers, and the spicy flavor came out immediately.

"Delicious!" Li Luo hasn't eaten this for a long time. Although some dishes go well with rice, Li Luo prefers pasta.

The vegetables were cooked, and Li Luo took out the alkaline noodles he had prepared from the basin.

This noodle is chewier and is also Li Luo’s favorite.

After a while, a long piece of ramen appeared in Li Luo's hand. The water began to boil, and the noodles swayed in the boiling water, as graceful as an underwater Dunhuang dance.

After the noodles are cooked, pour two spoonfuls of broth on them and add some vegetables, and the shredded pork noodles are ready!
After Li Luo cooked four bowls of noodles, she put the noodles of the last bowl in ice water. When Ling Zhuoqun came back, she didn't have to cook another bowl. With the hot chicken soup and vegetables, it was just the right amount to go down.

Normally, Ling Zhuoqun should have returned by now, but today, Li Luo and the children had finished their meal, and there was no sign of Ling Zhuoqun. Li Luo was just about to go out to look for him when suddenly there was a loud thunder and it started to rain.

Li Luo was so frightened by the thunder that he didn't dare to go out. He huddled on the sofa with his head in his arms.

Ling Zhuoqun appeared at the door with a heavy heart and his body was wet. Li Luo heard the noise at the door, turned around and saw Ling Zhuoqun who was soaked like a drowned chicken. He quickly ran to the bathroom and brought a towel for Ling Zhuoqun.

Ling Zhuoqun took the towel, and another loud thunder sounded, sliding through the night behind Ling Zhuoqun. Li Luo's legs went weak again and he almost fell to the ground.

Ling Zhuoqun supported Li Luo and patted her back gently: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Although Ling Zhuoqun was caught in the rain, his arms were still warm. Li Luo leaned in his broad arms, and her originally anxious mood was slowly soothed.

Li Luo's cheeks were red. Who would have thought that even after traveling through time, she still had this weakness - fear of thunder!
If Ling Zhuoqun hadn't happened to appear, she would have found it difficult to climb up the stairs by herself, and she would have had to crawl up like a mollusk.

"The food is still in the kitchen. The dishes should be cold. I'll go heat them up for you." After saying that, Li Luo used Ling Zhuoqun's arm to force himself to calm down. However, just after taking two steps, thunder came again.

Li Luo stood still, not daring to move forward. "I can do it myself." Ling Zhuoqun's gentle voice came from behind him, "Sorry, I came back a little late after dealing with some things today."

Li Luo noticed that there seemed to be a hint of blood in the air. He turned around and forced a smile that was uglier than crying.

"I... I can't walk anymore." There was a hint of tears in Li Luo's voice.

Seeing the pitiful appearance of Li Luo, Ling Zhuoqun's heart softened at once. He picked up Li Luo and carried him sideways.

This was the first time for him to hold a woman so intimately. The woman in his arms was very well-behaved, staring at him with her big eyes, as if she had not expected him to do such a thing.

The flesh on her body was soft, as if it was holding a pool of water, and the fragrance of the girl after taking a bath also went straight into Ling Zhuoqun's nostrils.

Although it was a rainy night, Ling Zhuoqun felt a strange feeling like an electric current running through his heart, and his breathing became a little rapid for a moment.

"Am I... am I too heavy?" As she said that, Li Luo was about to get out of Ling Zhuoqun's arms.

"Don't move." The man's voice was a little hoarse, and seemed to carry some blame. Li Luo's soft flesh pressed even tighter against Ling Zhuoqun's chest, as if he was afraid that she would fall off if she was not careful.

"Don't be afraid, you're not heavy at all." Ling Zhuoqun tried hard to adjust his disordered breathing, and he seemed to be able to hear the "bang bang bang" sound of his heartbeat.

What happened to him? Was he sick? Did he get a fever just because he got caught in the rain? He had been exercising since he was discharged from the army. He could lift a pig weighing 200 to 300 kilograms.

How come now that I’m holding a 90-pound girl in my arms, not only is my body hot, but my arms are also feeling weak and limp?

Ling Zhuoqun hugged Li Luo even tighter, not daring to relax at all.

It was only a short twenty steps, but Ling Zhuoqun felt as if he had walked for half a century, as if he was afraid that the woman would slip out of his arms if he was not careful.

Li Luo also noticed that something was wrong with Ling Zhuoqun, and she hugged Ling Zhuoqun's neck so that she could have some leverage if he fell.

The hot air exhaled by Li Luo sprayed on Ling Zhuoqun's neck. Ling Zhuoqun only felt his throat a little tight and itchy, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.

Is he really sick?

After quickly carrying Li Luo to the room upstairs, Ling Zhuoqun began to breathe heavily. Just now, he felt like a drowning fish, unable to breathe.

Ling Zhuoqun carefully placed Li Luo on the bed. Li Luo's eyes were still on him, as if begging.

Seeing him turn around, Li Luo said, "Can...can you please not leave? I'm scared..."

Li Luo's voice became smaller and smaller, and the last three words "I'm scared" were so muffled that it was almost impossible to hear clearly.

Ling Zhuoqun thought that the little girl had been here for so long and had always been a strong person. Only at this time did she show her little woman's attitude.

It was as if my steps were stuck to the floor and I couldn't move.
