Chapter 53

Xiao Yu ordered all the specialties of Yanjing.

Fushou elbow, Beijing-style shredded pork with sauce, three-flavor stuffed tofu, clear-sauce eggplant, roast duck was definitely a must, and there were two bowls of fried sauce noodles as a base. The dim sum included the thirteen famous snacks of old Yanjing: donkey rolling, pea yellow, ginger thread fritters, and cream fried cake.

For drinks, Xiao Yu didn't order any alcohol, just some fruit juice and a few boxes of fresh milk.

Lifting the thermal cover, the exquisite dishes on the food cart caught Quan Zhiyan's attention.

She sniffed twice but didn't move.

"Are you not hungry?" Xiao Yu asked.

Quan Zhiyan remained silent, sitting firmly on the silk quilt, refusing to budge.

"I'm going to wash my hands."

Quan Zhiyan was already very hungry, her stomach growling. Seeing Xiao Yu walk into the bathroom, she hesitated for a moment, then quickly got up and stuffed a piece of roast duck into her mouth.

Hmm... Not good!

The bathroom door opened, and Quan Zhiyan heard the sound and hurriedly sat back in her original position. Xiao Yu, after washing his hands, came back and glanced at the food cart, muttering to himself, "It looks like someone has been at the roast duck."

Quan Zhiyan turned her head and swallowed the unchewed roast duck.

"Come over and eat something. You drank so much last night and haven't eaten all day. Aren't you feeling unwell?"

Quan Zhiyan still didn't move. Xiao Yu didn't bother with her anymore, handed her a box of milk, and started eating the roast duck.

He took a thin pancake, spread sweet bean sauce on it, added a few slices of duck meat, along with scallions and cucumber, rolled it up, and took a bite, crunching loudly.

This way of eating is more complicated than eating roasted meat.

However, it looked really delicious.

Damn, her stomach was even hungrier!

Quan Zhiyan stared straight at Xiao Yu, the aroma wafting, her throat involuntarily moving, swallowing saliva, and her stomach growling uncontrollably.

Xiao Yu wrapped another one and, hearing Quan Zhiyan's stomach growl, walked over and offered it to her.

"Try it. It's not authentic, but it's quite tasty."

Quan Zhiyan hesitated for a moment, took it, and took a small bite.

Delicious!

Much better than before!

She finished it in a few bites, the lingering flavor making her savor it. She looked up at Xiao Yu, saying nothing, just staring at the roast duck he had just wrapped.

Is this a celebrity?

She must be a foodie!

Xiao Yu, helpless, handed it over again and said, "If you want to eat, do it yourself. I promise not to touch the bed."

Quan Zhiyan considered for a moment, moved to the edge of the bed, pulled the food cart over, and started eating the roast duck, while keeping an eye on Xiao Yu to prevent him from getting close to the bed.

Her technique was clumsy, and she hadn't even finished the second one when Xiao Yu had already finished five.

When Xiao Yu reached for another pancake, Quan Zhiyan panicked. She slapped Xiao Yu's hand away and guarded the roast duck, "Mine, all mine, you're not allowed to eat anymore!"

Damn, she's really a foodie!

Has she never eaten roast duck in Yanjing before?

Xiao Yu muttered a few complaints, picked up a tofu skin, and wrapped the Beijing-style shredded pork with sauce.

You can wrap this too?

Chinese people are so strange.

Quan Zhiyan was very curious, eating the roast duck while watching Xiao Yu eat the Beijing-style shredded pork with sauce.

Xiao Yu ate so deliciously and so quickly that the Beijing-style shredded pork with sauce was almost half gone, and Quan Zhiyan couldn't sit still anymore.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, she reached out, her fingers moving like a gust of wind... Overdramatic. In short, she snatched the wrapped Beijing-style shredded pork with sauce from Xiao Yu's mouth and took a big bite, afraid that Xiao Yu would try to take it back.

The rich sauce, fresh taste, and tender texture instantly made her expand her territory from the roast duck to the Beijing-style shredded pork with sauce.

She's definitely a foodie!

Xiao Yu pursed his lips, gave up on the Beijing-style shredded pork with sauce, and turned his attention to the Fushou elbow. He picked up a piece of meat with the skin, and before he could eat it, he suddenly felt a fiery gaze.

It was Quan Zhiyan!

She had one hand on the roast duck and the other on the Beijing-style shredded pork with sauce, her lively eyes fixed on the piece of elbow meat on Xiao Yu's chopsticks.

"Here."

He extended the chopsticks to Quan Zhiyan, who looked at them, both hands occupied, and went straight for it with her mouth.

The meat was bright red and shiny, tender and fragrant without being greasy. Quan Zhiyan's mouth was full of oil, and she mumbled, "Don't you need to wrap it in something?"

She was referring to the lettuce, a side dish for the Fushou elbow.

Foodies are so easy to please. Things were going much smoother than expected.

Xiao Yu thought to himself, picked up another piece of elbow, wrapped it in lettuce, and held it up to Quan Zhiyan's mouth with two fingers.

Quan Zhiyan's eyes darted, and she bit down on Xiao Yu's fingers.

Xiao Yu, being cunning, wouldn't let himself be at a disadvantage and pinched Quan Zhiyan's little tongue first.

Mmm...

Quan Zhiyan was angry and glared.

Xiao Yu smiled and raised an eyebrow.

They held the stalemate for eighteen seconds. Xiao Yu gently massaged Quan Zhiyan's tongue, breaking the deadlock, and Quan Zhiyan conceded.

She opened her mouth, released Xiao Yu's fingers, chewed a few times, and swallowed the lettuce-wrapped elbow haphazardly. Quan Zhiyan said angrily, "You..."

"Eat in silence, sleep in silence. We touched last night, didn't we?"

"Hey! I warn you, don't tell anyone about what happened last night, or I'll kill you!"

"Don't worry, I know my limits."

Although the communication wasn't very friendly, the ice was broken, and the atmosphere relaxed a lot.

After tasting the roast duck, Beijing-style shredded pork with sauce, and Fushou elbow, Quan Zhiyan's appetite was fully aroused. She ignored Xiao Yu and focused on the food, determined to enjoy every dish, from the three-flavor stuffed tofu to the clear-sauce eggplant and fried sauce noodles.

Xiao Yu had practiced sanda since he was young, was strong and healthy, and had a strong eating capacity. But compared to Quan Zhiyan, he felt like a weakling.

By the end, the dim sum hadn't even been touched, and Xiao Yu was already full, with half a bowl of fried sauce noodles left.

On the other hand, Quan Zhiyan was in a full-scale battle with the fried sauce noodles, muttering that it wasn't as good as the Korean version.

Not as good as the Korean version?

You just haven't had the authentic one!

"It's been so long since I've eaten this much!" After finishing a bowl of fried sauce noodles, Quan Zhiyan rubbed her small belly contentedly, a satisfied expression on her face.

"Is Korea that poor? You're a celebrity, after all."

"Our Republic of Korea is not poor!"

"Then why were you always hungry before?"

"What do you know? I'm a model, I have to maintain my figure."

"What about now?"

"Now..." Thinking about her failed transition from the modeling industry to the entertainment industry over the past two years, Quan Zhiyan lowered her head, feeling dejected.

A hand holding a tissue extended in front of her. She looked up in surprise, meeting Xiao Yu's clear gaze, and heard a gentle voice, "Don't move."

Quan Zhiyan was stunned, looking at Xiao Yu in confusion, not dodging, and letting him gently wipe the sauce and oil from the corners of her mouth.

"Failure in transitioning isn't your fault. You have great conditions, a lot of potential, and work very hard. Heaven sees all of this and will surely bless you with success. Don't be sad over a temporary failure; it's just a part of your journey to success. What you lack is just an opportunity, a chance to soar to new heights."

After staring at Xiao Yu for a moment, Quan Zhiyan asked, "What are you really trying to say?"

"Cough, do you have ten thousand yuan?"
