Chapter 40: Sharing one fork
Duan Xingye was slightly taken aback, then lowered his head and chuckled silently.
"How do you manage to resist eating while you're live streaming?" The gentle voice held a tenderness he himself was unaware of.
"Sigh, it's so painful to endure." Su Youzi pouted and pulled out a chair to sit down. "I only ate a few bites of beef and pineapple tonight, and my stomach is already empty."
Duan Xingye placed a piece of scallop, which he liked, onto Su Youzi's empty plate and poured pea puree over it.
"I need to replenish my energy, otherwise I'll faint from hunger and be ridiculed by netizens again."
"You read the comments? I thought you weren't interested in these things." Su Youzi cut a scallop and dipped it in pea puree.
She gently put it in her mouth, chewed it, and her eyes immediately widened. She exclaimed in delight, "Oh! So delicious! How am I so amazing!"
Duan Xingye was amused by her adorable appearance, and looked down at her with extremely gentle eyes.
"You should try it." Su Youzi took another bite, dancing with joy, her face full of satisfaction.
Duan Xingye nodded, picked up his fork, elegantly cut a small piece of scallop, and slowly put it into his mouth.
The smoothness of the pea puree and the freshness of the scallops intertwined on his tongue, bringing an unexpectedly wonderful taste.
"It really is delicious," he admitted.
Her gaze fell on Su Youzi again, and her smile became even brighter, her face beaming with pride.
"I did so well on my first try, I'm so talented!" she said confidently.
"First time doing this?"
"Yeah, I just searched for recipes online."
"Online?" Duan Xingye narrowed his eyes, a hint of surprise in them, and let out a "uh~~".
Su Youzi realized she had let something slip and her eyes flickered.
After a few seconds of silence, she sighed softly.
Oh well, this guy already knows so much, it doesn't make a difference.
"I secretly brought my laptop."
Duan Xingye raised an eyebrow. "You secretly brought a computer? And it can access the internet?"
"Yes," Su Youzi admitted.
Duan Xingye stared into her eyes and suddenly smiled.
"So you know that there's a flood of negative comments about you from the outside world?"
Su Youzi pursed her lips and nodded.
"So, you did it on purpose? Why?" Duan Xingye's eyes held a hint of amusement.
Su Youzi was stunned.
This person is somewhat clever...
She pouted and slowly said, "I want to retire from the entertainment industry."
Duan Xingye was puzzled and said, "You haven't signed with a company, so you can just quit if you want. Why make yourself disliked?"
"Oh?" Su Youzi asked in surprise, "You searched for me?"
"Hmm, out of curiosity."
Su Youzi shook her head helplessly, "I'm not signed with an agency..." She paused, then suddenly smiled, "But I have vampire family members~"
"They...forced you?" Duan Xingye's eyes darkened.
“Before, when I was a minor, my mom would sign the contracts on my behalf. If I broke the contract, I would have to pay compensation,” Su Youzi said, pretending to be relaxed.
Duan Xingye nodded slightly, "You didn't suddenly lose your acting skills; you deliberately messed up your performance to damage your reputation."
"Hmm~ with this dating reality show on top of that, I'm definitely going to be universally disliked, and no director would dare to hire me."
Su Youzi said this with a smile, her eyes sparkling, but Duan Xingye felt a pang of heartache.
"Why that expression?" Su Youzi noticed his expression and raised an eyebrow. "I've been reborn! This is something to be happy about!"
Duan Xingye's throat went dry, and he couldn't bring himself to offer his congratulations.
"Try this chicken leg, it was made especially for you." Su Youzi deliberately changed the subject, put the big chicken leg on his plate, and said in a feigned aggrieved tone, "I didn't get any."
"Why not do more?" Duan Xingye chuckled in a low voice.
"How could I dare? Lanlan found out I used pork last night. Tonight I only dared to steal a chicken leg, and the ingredients for the baked rice were leftovers from the barbecue."
Duan Xingye used a knife and fork to cut off a piece of chicken leg meat and held it to Su Youzi's mouth.
"What?" Su Youzi blinked slowly.
"Testing for poison," Duan Xingye said, raising an eyebrow.
Su Youzi rolled her eyes at him and took a bite of the chicken leg.
The tender, juicy chicken immediately spread throughout her mouth, and her eyes lit up instantly.
"It tastes so good!"
Suddenly, she realized that the fork she used to skewer the chicken leg meat was the one he had used. Her expression changed from enjoyment to shock, and then she blushed instantly.
"Why are you blushing?" Duan Xingye stared at her face, chuckled, and teased, "Did you really poison me?"
Su Youzi's blush deepened, and she was at a loss for words, unsure how to respond.
Duan Xingye chuckled softly, stopped teasing her, cut himself a piece, and put it in his mouth, saying, "Delicious~"
Su Youzi pursed her lips, feeling her face getting hotter and hotter.
Ahhhhh!
They shared one fork!
However, I don't seem to feel nauseous...
Should we remind him to get himself a different fork?
"What are you daydreaming about?" Duan Xingye snapped his fingers in front of her.
Su Youzi snapped out of her daze and shook her head violently.
"Are you running a fever? Your face is so red." Duan Xingye gently touched her forehead. "It's not hot..."
"It's hot... I made the food so it's hot, that's why it's a little delayed..." Su Youzi forced a smile, "Ha... haha..."
"Delayed fever?" Duan Xingye's lips twitched as he glanced at her plate. "Eat something, you're so hungry you're talking nonsense."
Su Youzi lowered her head; her empty plate was piled high with pineapple beef baked rice and chicken drumsticks.
She suddenly looked up and saw Duan Xingye casually eating with his head down.
Su Youzi exhaled softly, lowered her head, and ate absentmindedly.
There was a long silence at the dinner table.
"If you're not going to be an actor, what do you plan to do?" Duan Xingye asked.
Su Youzi looked up, thought for a moment, and said with a smile, "It's a secret."
Duan Xingye was taken aback. "Can't I say?"
"Hmm." Su Youzi nodded with a smile.
"I'm curious now." Duan Xingye pulled out a tissue and wiped his mouth.
"Curiosity killed the cat," Su Youzi said with a playful smile.
"I'm a cat that's not afraid of death." Duan Xingye chuckled. "Never mind, we'll talk about it later. Are you still going to the gym tomorrow?"
"No, I hate sports." Su Youzi shook her head.
Duan Xingye took out his phone and placed it in front of her, playing a video of Su Youzi at the gym.
"Aren't you having a lot of fun flirting with Lee Byung-sung?"
“I didn’t expect it to be so easy. He took the bait with just a snap of his fingers. I must have been a playboy in my past life.” Su Youzi didn’t notice that Duan Xingye’s face darkened. She continued, “You can’t blame him. With my beauty, it’s hard for him to resist.”
Su Youzi admired herself narcissistically.
The scene showed her leaving, and Lee Byung-sung did push-ups, covering his lower body with his clothes, and his gait was somewhat strange.
"Did he strain a muscle? He's walking strangely." She looked up at Duan Xingye.
"It's reacting," Duan Xingye said coldly.
