Yu Keke: "..."
She stood there, stunned, watching Li Yuheng walk downstairs with his head held high, muttering to herself, "Teacher Li is acting strange today..."
Today, the production team made an unprecedented effort to prepare breakfast. The table was laden with a dazzling array of dishes, including steaming hot buns, golden and crispy fried dough sticks, and fragrant soy milk.
Li Yuheng swaggered into the restaurant and found Shu Bai already sitting there, drinking soy milk with his head down.
He immediately straightened his back, deliberately walked around to sit opposite Shu Bai, and cleared his throat: "Good morning, Teacher Shu Bai."
Shu Bai didn't even look up: "Mm."
Li Yuheng: "..."
He stared at Shu Bai for a few seconds, then suddenly reached out: "Pass me a plate."
Shu Bai finally looked up, frowning: "Don't you have hands?"
Li Yuheng: "My hand is cramping."
Shu Bai sneered, grabbed a plate, and slammed it down in front of Li Yuheng: "Here you go."
Li Yuheng stared at the plate, his eyes lighting up.
Shu Bai handed him a plate! That's practically cooking for him! And practically living together!
But he picked up the plate and stood still: "Teacher Shubai, this attitude won't do. We've washed socks together before, shouldn't we be more amicable?"
Shu Bai sneered: "With you?"
“Exactly.” Li Yuheng stepped closer and lowered his voice, “And look, with one of us being a top star and the other a movie king, wouldn’t a powerful collaboration create amazing entertainment?”
Shu Bai finally looked him in the eye: "What exactly do you want?"
Li Yuheng gave a bright smile: "Nothing, I just think... Teacher Shubai is quite interesting."
Shu Bai stared at Li Yuheng for a few seconds, then suddenly reached out and pinched his chin, turning it from side to side.
Li Yuheng was taken aback: "...?"
Shu Bai released his grip, saying expressionlessly, "I think you've lost your mind."
Li Yuheng: "..."
Li Yuheng's ears burned as Shu Bai pinched and shook his chin twice.
He forced himself to remain calm and slapped Shu Bai's hand away, letting out a cold snort: "Teacher Shu Bai, isn't it a bit inappropriate to get physical so early in the morning?"
After saying that, he casually tossed his hair, calmly sat down and began to eat breakfast, his movements as elegant as if he were filming an advertisement.
Shu Bai chuckled and lowered his head to continue drinking his soy milk.
[Hengshu CP fans are ecstatic! The main characters are giving us some sweet moments!]
[Hilarious! Some CP fans really see every single person as love.]
[Stop defending your 400 followers. Your idol has been out of fashion for years and can only rely on riding the coattails of top celebrities to stay relevant.]
[Can Li Yuheng's fans please stop being so disgusting? Do we, Shu Bai, need to piggyback on his fame?]
[Stop arguing! I'm asking you, who is Hengzi trying to impress with this flashy outfit today??]
Li Yuheng appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was experiencing a turbulent storm.
He spoke deeply to 0090 in his mind: "Little system, did you see that?"
0090: […What did you see?]
Li Yuheng took a bite of the steamed bun, his eyes deep: "Shu Bai... likes me."
0090: [? ? ?]
Li Yuheng became more and more certain as he thought about it, and continued to analyze: "He just deliberately pinched my chin, that's blatant seduction! Ha, men, they really can't escape the charm of this prince."
0090: […Your Highness, is it possible that Shu Bai simply thinks you've lost your mind?]
Li Yuheng sneered: "What do you know? He's just playing hard to get!"
0090: [...]
It finds the entire system absurd.
The more Li Yuheng thought about it, the more sense it made, and his gaze gradually deepened.
Shu Bai must have been plotting against him for a long time!
No wonder she argued with him on the show; isn't that a typical "attention-grabbing" tactic?
Ha, what a cunning cat.
Li Yuheng became more and more smug, his lips curling up uncontrollably, and even the way he ate the steamed buns became lighter.
Shu Bai looked up at him, frowning, "What are you laughing at?"
Li Yuheng immediately suppressed his smile and sighed deeply, "It's nothing, I just think... these buns are quite delicious."
Shu Bai: "..."
Neuropathy.
He ignored Li Yuheng and continued eating his breakfast.
Li Yuheng, however, was already so engrossed in his own reasoning that he could not extricate himself.
He slowly took a sip of soy milk and continued speaking to 0090 in his mind: "Little system, tell me, should I give him a chance?"
0090: [...What opportunity?]
Li Yuheng smiled slightly: "The opportunity to pursue me."
0090: [...]
It suddenly wanted to install a "shutdown" button on itself.
The more Li Yuheng thought about it, the more feasible the plan seemed.
Since Shu Bai likes him, he will reluctantly... observe him.
After all, he is the Crown Prince of the Underworld, and not just anyone can be worthy of him!
If Shu Bai really wants to pursue him, she'll have to show some sincerity!
0090 finally couldn't hold back any longer: [Your Highness, didn't you say you wanted to follow a no-romance male lead storyline?]
Li Yuheng smiled dismissively: "Small system, small-minded."
He elegantly wiped the corner of his mouth, and thought to himself with conviction: "Why isn't a dual male lead a true male lead? A powerful alliance, invincible, that's the true grandeur of a male lead!"
0090: […Okay, male lead.]
Jiang Wei plopped down next to Li Yuheng, snatched the fried egg Li Yuheng had his eye on, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Oh, dressed so flashy today, going on a blind date?"
Li Yuheng emptied his chopsticks and glared at her: "Give them back to me!"
Jiang Wei stuffed the fried egg into his mouth and mumbled, "I won't give it to you, I'll make you angry."
Zhao Wen, carrying a tray, leaned closer, her eyes darting back and forth between Li Yuheng and Shu Bai. Suddenly, she lowered her voice mysteriously and asked, "Teacher Li, is there something going on with your outfit today?"
Li Yuheng coughed lightly, feigning composure: "What's going on? When am I not handsome?"
Yu Keke took a small sip of soy milk and suddenly interjected, "But Teacher Li even wore perfume today, a woody one at that, so mature."
Li Yuheng's ears burned, and he slammed his chopsticks on the table: "Can't you even shut your mouths while eating?"
Shu Bai coldly observed this farce, then suddenly stood up: "I've finished eating."
Li Yuheng immediately stood up and said, "I've finished eating too."
Jiang Wei rolled his eyes: "You still have three untouched buns on your plate."
Li Yuheng remained expressionless: "I suddenly lost my appetite."
Shu Bai walked out without looking back, and Li Yuheng quickly followed. The two left the restaurant one after the other.
Zhao Wen, biting her chopsticks, said with a gossipy glint in her eyes, "Have you noticed? Teacher Li is acting really strange today!"
Jiang Wei snorted coldly: "When has he ever been in a good mood?"
Yu Keke whispered, "But... it seems like Teacher Li is paying special attention to Teacher Shu Bai."
Jiang Wei stirred the soy milk slowly, her red lips curving slightly: "Some people—" she deliberately dragged out the word, "are so arrogant, they think no one can see through them."
Zhao Wen immediately leaned closer: "What inside information does Sister Weiwei know?"
Jiang Wei took a sip of soy milk with an air of mystery: "The Buddha said, it cannot be spoken."
