Due to the limited food items in the fridge and the fact that it was late-night, Xiang Kun simply made a pot of noodles. However, he added some of the seasonings only after serving the noodles into bowls, and he cooked the noodles in several batches – some softer, some tougher, to cater to everyone's slightly different preferences.
When they were eating the late-night meal, unusually, everyone was slurping their noodles without talking. Even the liveliest among them, Yang Zhen'er and Little Fatty Girl, were focused on their food. Xiang Kun could clearly sense that they hadn't had enough for dinner, and his late-night meal was like sending charcoal in snowy weather.
After they finished eating and chatted for a bit, everyone started feeling sleepy, especially Tang Baona, who had only gone to bed at four o'clock in the morning and had not made up for her lack of sleep during the day.
