"If you only scold me, I'll be very happy. After all, a beating is a sign of affection, and scolding is a sign of love." Yu Jiamu deliberately said some cheesy things to tease Lin Zhenzhen.
He found himself unusually patient with her. It seemed quite interesting to watch the various vivid expressions appear on Ling Zhen's cool and aloof face.
Sure enough, a blush appeared on her originally fair face, her eyes darted away, and she tried to break free of him with her arms.
Yu Jiamu stood up and loosened his grip on her.
Do you have any paper on you to write on?
The man who had been standing there like a third wheel for a long time finally realized that Yu Jiamu was talking to him, and quickly said, "Ah, yes, it's in the car, I'll go get it right away."
"Give this to me." Yu Jiamu snatched the transparent folder from his hand, emptied the documents and pen inside, and shoved it into Lin Zhenzhen's hand.
"Young Master Yu, that's the contract we're going to sign!"
"Just bring the new contract to the Yu Group building next Monday." Yu Jiamu turned to look at him. "Thank you for your hard work today."
Hard work? Where is it hard work? He signs the contract after just one day of playing around. He'd love to have more rich kids like him who are naive and have too much money.
The man left with a smug look on his face, leaving only the two of them in this secluded corner. Lin Zhenzhen peeked through the gap in Yu Jiamu's arm and noticed that many passing students would glance in their direction, intentionally or unintentionally.
Yu Jiamu noticed her gaze and said, "You're already shy? How can you be so thin-skinned?"
Lin Zhenzhen: ...You're overthinking it.
"I know I'm good-looking, but don't keep staring at me like that," Yu Jiamu said with a smile. "We have paper, right? Write down whatever you want to say."
Lin Zhenzhen thought for a moment and wrote down, "Want to have dinner together?"
Yu Jiamu's eyes lit up: "Sure, but why do you want to eat with me?"
Lin Zhenzhen continued writing: Be grateful and repay kindness.
This is a direct rebuttal to what I just said about her being ungrateful. This girl may not seem like it on the surface, but who knows how much she's been cursing me in her heart.
Yu Jiamu chuckled and shook his head, replying, "Alright, I'm hungry too."
Yu Jiamu stood outside the crowded little shop on the street, looking at the bustling scene of people packed together back to back through the glass window, and hesitated to go forward.
But Lin Zhenzhen had already pushed open the door and gone inside.
"Student, make way, make way!" The uncle, carrying a pot full of broth, hurried past him.
Looking at his fingers already submerged in the soup and the oily tabletop around him, Yu Jiamu felt his appetite diminish by more than half.
"How about we..."
Lin Zhenzhen looked up and handed him the menu.
Yu Jiamu looked at the spiciness level at the top and saw that it was already checked as extra spicy. The soup base he chose was red broth with butter.
Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, Lin Zhenzhen deliberately asked him with her eyes: What's wrong?
"It's alright, this is fine." Yu Jiamu handed the menu to the waiter without changing his expression.
Lin Zhenzhen got up to get the food. After spending so much time as an ascetic in the previous world, she was really craving it.
My dearest hotpot, skewers, and milk tea, she's finally back!
After picking and choosing in the freezer, she threw all the meat skewers from her plate into the boiling pot.
Looking at the pot bottom covered with a thick layer of red chili peppers, Yu Jiamu felt his eyelids twitch.
Since he had no idea where to start, he simply put down his chopsticks, propped his chin up, and looked at the person opposite him.
Lin Zhenzhen was carefully picking the meat off the bamboo skewers. Her lips were red and swollen, and the heat had made the corners of her eyes look a little saturated. Now she looked completely different, incredibly alluring.
"Young man, why aren't you eating? Do you think our food is bad?"
Perhaps because of their outstanding appearance, they became the focus of close attention as soon as they entered.
"It tastes very good." Yu Jiamu gently bit his back teeth. "It looks delicious."
Wow, the male lead is practically staring a hole through you! That wolf-like gaze, wow, I think this pace is about right.
"Is that enough?" Lin Zhenzhen raised her eyes, her cherry lips curving slightly through the swirling smoke. "But I feel it's far from over. How about this, you add another fuel to the fire."
After confirming that the items redeemed with contribution points were ready, Lin Zhenzhen enthusiastically picked up two skewers of cilantro and beef from the pot and placed them in Yu Jiamu's bowl.
...
"Eat up," Lin Zhenzhen mouthed, urging him. She smiled sweetly, her full cheeks curving perfectly, and her eyes behind her glasses forming slender crescents.
As she expected, Yu Jiamu glanced at her, then reluctantly separated the rolled-up beef and removed the cilantro.
Sure enough, even though it has a different shell, it is still as picky as ever in some aspects.
Lin Zhenzhen wouldn't let him off the hook and continued to ask: Is it delicious?
"Fine, cough cough cough cough cough." Before Yu Jiamu could finish speaking, he started coughing violently. He grabbed a few tissues from the table, covered his mouth, and walked out.
Watching his disheveled departure, the system said: [Host, you're so mean! You knew the male lead couldn't eat spicy food, yet you made him eat the extra spicy hot pot.]
Lin Zhenzhen deliberately tricked this silly little pig: [The original plot didn't mention that he couldn't eat spicy food, so why do you say I knew beforehand?]
[Stop pretending! You already know that the male protagonists in all the worlds are...] The system reacted, slammed on the brakes, and swallowed the words.
That was close! I almost blurted it out.
