CHAPTER 2 - ONE FOR YOU, ONE FOR ME...
Warm-colored lights, comfortable and soft reclining seats, professional and polite service staff.
Li Zhenyu's street stall suit didn't attract any ridicule or mockery. After being taken away by the service staff, it hung neatly on the wall.
The exposed fierce feathers on the eagle's head and wrists didn't draw attention either.
The gaze of the service miss was as calm as a robot.
Li Zhenyu was unaware that the calmness in the miss's gaze was purely a result of being frightened.

He ordered two portions of Korean beef and an additional side dish.
The miss left the private room numbly, stood at the door for a while, then suddenly patted her chest, "So scary, so scary..."
Five minutes later, all the dishes were brought to the table.
Just as Li Zhenyu was about to start eating, he heard the waitress speak in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "Sir, excuse me, would you mind sharing the table?"
"What?"
Li Zhenyu didn't hear clearly; the voice was smaller than a mosquito's, who could hear that?
"Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing." The waitress quickly bowed and apologized, as if about to cry from being scared.
Li Zhenyu looked innocent and said, "What did you just say? I didn't hear it clearly."
The miss stuttered and repeated her words.
Seeing his puzzled expression, the miss bowed again, apologizing, "I'm sorry, sir. It's because the seating is tight today and the guest mentioned being in a hurry."
"If you mind, we can reject her..."
"It's okay, let's share." Li Zhenyu smiled and nodded, agreeing to the request.
Sharing a table wasn't a big deal.
Eating alone could indeed be quite boring.
"Ah?"
Unexpectedly, he was so accommodating. The miss was overjoyed, covering her mouth with her hands in gratitude.
It seemed like they had a close relationship, leaving Li Zhenyu confused.
"Annyeong haseyo, I'm Lee Joo Bin, sorry for the disturbance."
With delicate features and a hot figure, she sat across from him, nodding and bowing.
Ah, another day of envying chaebols!
Lee Joo Bin's mood was like a roller coaster.
Due to training, she hadn't had a proper meal in a long time.
Finally treating herself, she was told there were no available seats.
Luckily, the manager informed her they could check if sharing a table was acceptable.
She thought her luck had finally turned.
But unexpectedly, it turned out to be this person. Oh no~
If she had known he was a big brother, she would have preferred going back to the dorm to eat ramen.
"Hello, Li Zhenyu." Nodding politely, Li Joo Bin placed the Korean beef on the grill.
"If you don't mind, let's eat together!"
"Ah~"
Lee Joo Bin's expression froze for a moment, then she quickly waved her hand, saying, "No need, the staff will prepare soon. Just give me a small space."
Unexpectedly, the big brother was quite generous. Could he have some ulterior motive?

Lee Joo Bin regretted her impulsive decision even more.
Even if she wanted to treat herself to a good meal, she should have chosen a more appropriate time.
"Okay, then this half is yours."
The anticipated awkwardness didn't occur. Li Zhenyu moved the grill away from his side, happily indulging in his meal.
His movements were deliberate, grilling the meat thoroughly each time, dipping it in sauce, and wrapping it with vegetables in lettuce before taking a bite.
Seeing the top sirloin sizzling on the grill, emitting oil splatters, made Lee Joo Bin both heartbroken and hungrier.
"That... beef tastes better with rice, and you should flip it faster. This way, it'll heat evenly, bringing out the full flavor of the beef."
Lee Joo Bin couldn't help but swallow involuntarily.
*Gudong~*
This sound echoed conspicuously along with the sizzling in the room.
Li Zhenyu instinctively looked up, glancing at her across the table.
Meanwhile, Lee Joo Bin instantly lowered her head, wishing she could find a place to hide.
"Too embarrassing!"
"I think it's too troublesome. If you're willing, you can grill, and we can eat together."
Glancing at the man across from her, she lowered her head to the sizzling grill. The top sirloin, emitting oil splatters, gradually tightened under the high temperature.
Lee Joo Bin decided to surrender to her cravings; she really wanted to eat this.
Compared to the beef brisket she ordered, the grilled sirloin was much better.
"Okay, I'll reluctantly..."
The appearance of the eagle eyes in her line of sight made Lee Joo Bin retract her raised tail.
"I'll help you."
She swallowed her saliva, not out of desire this time but because she was scared out of her wits.
'Joo Joo, how dare you joke with someone like him?'
Wasn't she afraid of being sold to a human factory anymore?
Thinking of scenes from movies, Lee Joo Bin's appetite suddenly waned.
But under Li Zhenyu's expectant gaze at the Korean beef, Lee Joo Bin could only continue her actions with tears in her eyes.

Next time, she swore she wouldn't share a table with strangers.
"Okay, give it a try."
Putting the most earnest and perfect piece of sirloin she had ever grilled into his bowl, Lee Joo Bin anxiously awaited his evaluation.
After trying it, Li Zhenyu didn't really feel any sense of happiness. However, considering the other person's serious effort, he nodded and gave a positive comment, "Very delicious."
Praised by him, Lee Joo Bin became even more enthusiastic.
One piece after another, she grilled the meat for him.
Rolling different side dishes into spring roll shapes, she placed them in his plate.
In the end, she simply reached out and stuffed the food directly into his mouth.
At the same time, he didn't forget to treat himself.
"One for you, one for me, one for me, and another for me..."
The small hand reaching towards his mouth froze in mid-air under Li Zhenyu's amused gaze.
The neatly wrapped Korean beef was delivered to his lips by fair and slender fingers, "For... for you."
Was this woman deep in scheming or carefree? Li Zhenyu couldn't quite tell for a moment.
However, he wasn't particularly interested in delving deeper.
Women could be great, but being single was most carefree.
Talking about love and relationships didn't fit his big brother image. A friendly match, on the other hand, would be straightforward.
After finishing the meal, maybe find a nightclub and see if there were any easy-to-fool girls?! Li Zhenyu contemplated in his mind, losing focus along the way.

When he regained awareness, the sirloin on the table had turned into brisket, accompanied by two portions of rice and the associated beef.
"It's from the restaurant, as an apology for the need to share a table. Let me help you."
Lee Joo Bin, very conscientiously, broke the sterile egg over the beef, quickly stirring it with chopsticks.
Then, after tasting the sauce on the chopsticks, she smiled happily, "There, the taste is just right."
Arranging the rice and accompanying beef side by side in front of him, Lee Joo Bin transformed into a friendly service girl, grilling the brisket with a bright smile.
"I'll take care of this part; please go ahead."
"Sure."
Li Zhenyu nodded casually and asked, "What about the big plate of sirloin and outer sirloin?"
Pretending to be composed and busy, Lee Joo Bin's body shivered, and even her expression turned dejected.
Those sirloin and outer sirloin, of course, had ended up in her stomach.
Blaming the delicious taste of the Korean beef, it made her forget everything.
Oh no, the big brother wouldn't sell her off just because of this, would he?
