After a short while, a maid carried a steak in and placed it on the table.
Chu Qingchuan impatiently grabbed her chopsticks. After she swallowed a piece of the aromatic steak, she sighed in satisfaction. âHow delicious! It tastes so good, that my tongueâs going to melt.â
Yu Wuxia stepped inside and couldnât help but smile when he saw the happy and satisfied look on Chu Qingchuanâs face.
Without warning, he grabbed the chopsticks from Chu Qingchuanâs hand.
Chu Qingchuan immediately looked back to find Yu Wuxia stood right behind her with her chopsticks in hand and a flirtatious smile.
Although Chu Qingchuan was going crazy on the inside, she knew who the person in front of her was. And so, she bolted to her feet and curtsied. âGreetings Master.â
Yu Wuxia smiled and said, âRise.â
Just then, he took a seat, picked up a piece of steak and put it in his mouth. He chewed and sighed, âDelicious! Superbly aromatic, melts in your mouth, hot and spicy. It really has a great aftertaste.â
As she stood behind Yu Wuxia, drool was about to pour from Chu Qingchuanâs mouth and she couldnât help but purse her lips and gulp.
Yu Wuxia finished the piece of steak and continued to eat another. He ate so carefreely that he seemed to have forgotten about Chu Qingchuan was standing behind him.
Chu Qingchuan wanted to cry but the tears wouldnât come out. That was the steak she had waited almost half an hour for. She never imagined that Yu Wuxia would steal it after she had just one bite. For someone who treasured food, it was truly worse than taking several slaps to the face.
Yu Wuxia suddenly turned his head and put on a kind smile. âChuchu, why do you look so miserable? Did something happen? Tell me, Iâll help you think of a way to solve your problem.â
Chu Qingchuan greedily licked the corner of her mouth and smiled awkwardly. âIt... Itâs nothing. Go ahead and eat as much as you please. I donât mind at all.â
Yu Wuxia almost laughed out loud, but then he immediately turned his head and controlled his emotions. A thought crossed her mind, and his face instantly fell.
It had been three years. This was the first time that heâs felt the urge to laugh out loud.
Ever since his brother passed away, he rarely laughed. People knew that Yu Wuxiaâs brother, Yu Wuhen had passed away, but they didnât know that the person who actually died was Yu Wuxia.
Chu Qingchuan saw that Yu Wuxia sat silent and still, and furrowed her brows in curiosity. Then she stared at the steak on the plate and smacked her lips.
She was about to die from her cravings. What should she do?
Chu Qingchuan stretched her neck out repeatedly, hoping to smell the steak and relieve her from her craving.
She accidentally touched the chair and it made a sound.
In a moment of shock, Chu Qingchuan immediately stood still and didnât dare move an inch.
But her eyes would still fall on the steak every so often.
Yu Wuxia heard the sound and snapped back to his senses. He let out a soft sigh. The past was the past. There was no use in thinking about it anymore.
He picked up the chopsticks, took another bite, and his mood got better.
But Chu Qingchuanâs mood became even sadder. That piece of steak should have been hers.
Yu Wuxia smiled flirtatiously. âChuchu, from now on, if thereâs something that you donât know, you can ask me. Just take it as my reimbursement for eating your steak.â
Chu Qingchung really wanted to say that she didnât want reimbursement for the steak. However, she didnât know Yu Wuxia as a person, so she didnât dare speak freely. All she could do was reluctantly reply, âYes, Master.â
Yu Wuxia picked up the steak, put it in his mouth and continued to slowly chew.
Seeing someone gulp beside him seemed to have made the steak taste better.
Chu Qingchuan really wanted to cry. Heâs almost done! What was she going to do?
With each bite Yu Wuxia took, her heart felt like it was being stabbed.
