I trust your judgment when it comes to choosing restaurants. Lu Youyou, this hidden foodie, knows quite a few good places to eat, and her recommendations for dishes are indeed delicious.
With a smile on her face, Lu Youyou said, "Then let's go to the East Gate; there's a grilled fish place near Ancheng University. The flavor is exceptional, and you will definitely love it."
True to her reputation as a foodie, Lu Youyou's recommendation for this restaurant did not disappoint. Xu Lie found himself puzzled, wondering whether the modern seasonings were simply too impressive or if it was Lu Youyou's company that made the food taste so good. As a prince in the Cang Hai Jue realm, he was accustomed to the finest delicacies, yet after experiencing such freshness, everything else seemed bland in comparison.
Considering that they used only the best and freshest ingredients, even without modern seasonings, it shouldn't have tasted like Jue La. The answer was clear: having someone to share a meal with made all the difference. Eating alone was merely a way to replenish nutrients necessary for life.
After their meal, Xu Lie once again rode his electric scooter, taking Lu Youyou home. This time, he didn't get lost. However, as they returned to the neighborhood, a black car followed closely behind them into the complex.
Lu Youyou noticed the car and glanced at Xu Lie casually. He nodded in acknowledgment, indicating that the vehicle was indeed monitoring him. Concerned that Xu Lie might feel uncomfortable about it, she quickly reassured him, "You haven't harmed anyone; in time, they will leave you alone."
Xu Lie wasn't particularly bothered by this; he enjoyed Lu Youyou's concern and affection as he held her small hand in his. Their fingers intertwined.
Lu Youyou looked up at the sky in exasperation. She had worried that Xu Lie might be feeling uneasy when in reality, she had overthought it—he was still as mischievous as ever! He certainly didn't need her comfort.
The two walked hand in hand like a couple in love until they reached the entrance of her building. Xu Lie knew it was about time for him to head back. "If you miss me, just look at our photo album. I'll try to take some time off next chance I get."
As Lu Youyou approached her building, she felt a headache coming on as she thought about how to explain things to her parents when she got home. Hearing Xu Lie mention leaving made her momentarily forget about her parents; her heart was entirely tied to him.
Reluctant to let him go and wanting to hold him back, she found herself unable to voice it. She didn't want to put him in a difficult position.
"Smile, Lu Youyou, just smile," she whispered to herself, trying to lift her spirits. She recalled the motivational quotes she had seen online—leaving was for the sake of a better reunion next time. The sun was shining, and making Xu Lie feel at ease was what truly mattered.
Yet, she just couldn't manage to smile.
Xu Lie seemed to sense her thoughts as he moved closer, almost pressing his face against hers. Understanding that she no longer needed to force a smile, Lu Youyou shyly closed her eyes and tilted her head slightly upward, feeling both anxious and hopeful.
However, she was caught off guard when Xu Lie remarked, "This grilled fish has quite a strong flavor."
Lu Youyou opened her eyes wide in disbelief, her anger bubbling beneath the surface. Was this man for real? They were about to share a farewell kiss, and he could ruin the mood like that?
Just as she was about to unleash her frustration with a sharp retort, Xu Lie kissed her. In an instant, all her anger dissipated, leaving only boundless joy in its wake. Her last coherent thought before her mind went blank was that perhaps this man wasn't so bad after all.
Xu Lie took Lu Youyou back to the black car and they returned to the company, leaving the staff at the Bionic Research Institute to work overtime. Meanwhile, Lu Youyou's cheeks flushed as she pulled out her phone and began typing furiously: "Is it normal for a boyfriend to reach out during a kiss?"
