Chapter 410 - 8.10 Completion Reward
"Hmm?" Ji Yan lifted his head with his cheeks bulging like a squirrel. His voice was muffled when he spoke, "What’s wrong, Miss Irene? You should try the steak. It’s so delicious!"
Lu Yizhou: "..." Why did the protagonist have to dig a hole so deep for him?
By now, everyone’s eyes were trained on Lu Yizhou, either judging, accessing or waiting. Beads of sweat formed on Lu Yizhou’s hairline and his grip on the fork tightened. What should he do...?
’Daddy, Daddy, eat the steak! My keen nose has confirmed that it’s real beef! It’s 100% safe meow~"
"No." Facing Luca, Lu Yizhou forced a smile on his face. "I was just confused on where to start because everything looks so tempting. Thank you so much, Master Luca, for your concern. I will definitely enjoy this." Without breaking eye contact with Luca, Lu Yizhou cut the edge of the steak and brought it to his mouth, swallowing. He put on the barest of smiles. "...Very delicious."
Luca stared at him for a few seconds. His eyes were akin to two whirlpools of abyss that messed with Lu Yizhou’s mind. How could he ever think that this man was normal?! After a few seconds that seemed like hours, Luca finally nodded and broke eye contact.
Lu Yizhou slowly, slowly let go of the breath he was holding. He did not slump down on his seat but that was a near thing. Fuck, that was so close... he could almost see his life flashing in front of his eyes.
After that little mishap, Lu Yizhou focused on finishing half of the steak, potato wedges, creamy mushroom soup (this was the most normal of all), and bitterly swallowed down one of the meatballs. He didn’t even deem the salad worthy of a glance.
From the corner of his eyes, he saw Ailín watching him intently before whispering something into Olivia’s ear. Then both of them started to eat the exact same thing Lu Yizhou ate, with the exact same order. Lu Yizhou heaved out a long-suffering sigh. That was brilliant of them. Lu Yizhou wished he could be in their position and follow behind someone’s steps too.
...Wait a minute. What about the protagonist?
Lu Yizhou snapped his head up to see that Ji Yan had almost finished eating. He was slurping down the mushroom soup to its last drop, all the while dipping the sandwich bread on it and munching on it with a happy look on his face. The delight that radiated from him was genuine. As for the sausages, the meatballs and the salad... he did not touch them at all.
