In the evening, the two proceeded to a three-Michelin-star seafood restaurant.
Because of the pandemic, this renowned restaurant only had ten guests per day, and the entire establishment appeared empty.
They were sitting in a large private room, and the French windows next to them mirrored the sunset sea view.
Zhong Chai sat upright, ate with the same severity as if he were on official business, and wielded his knife and fork precisely, as if he had no appetite.
He was an entirely different person than the one who wolfed down his food at home.
Xiao Cha suddenly realized why Zhong Chai disliked playing outside.
Overall, whenever Zhong Chai went out to mingle, he had to put on the airs of a president and demonstrate his good qualities, so he couldn’t eat to his heart’s content.
And Zhong Chai, who was alone with Xiao Cha, appeared to activate an unusual switch. The unsatisfied childhood wishes were fulfilled one by one, and he naturally became “unrestrained.”
Xiao Cha didn’t believe Zhong Chai could simply be himself around him.
They were all expressions of Zhong Chai’s genuine character, whether it was the aggressive and uncompromising President Zhong or the informal Xiao Chai.

Zhong Chai’s face was like the dish after devouring plate after plate of dishes that only occupied 10% of the plate.
Lf kjr cba oeii.
He wanted to eat barbecue.
“I’ll take you to eat something good later,” Xiao Cha offered softly, seemingly understanding Zhong Chai’s resentment of the delicately arranged desserts.
In an instant, Zhong Chai was bursting with energy.
The driver got the car as the two departed the restaurant.
“Go ahead to the night market.” said Xiao Cha.
“Go to the night market?” the driver was surprised and assumed he’d misheard.
“Do as madam says,” Zhong Chai said again.
During the pandemic, the night market was less crowded. Zhong Chai couldn’t wait to eat whatever he saw and attack the entire night market.
Xiao Cha kept up with Zhong Chai’s “buy, buy, buy” pace, holding two enormous bags of goodies. The couple ate while walking and eventually sat on a deserted stretch of sand.
The sky had already darkened, the waves were crashing against the rocks, and everything was utterly silent. Only the faint lights in the distance marked the human world’s worldliness.
Zhong Chai ate seafood fried rice and leaned blissfully on Xiao Cha’s shoulder.
“This is really tasty!” Zhong Chai spooned some fried rice and fed it Xiao Cha.
“Thank you, Xiao Chai.” Xiao Cha ate the fried rice, which was indeed full of flavor, and with the seafood chowder, it was super tasty. Looking at Zhong Chai’s look of anticipation, he couldn’t help but tease, “Is it more delicious than my cooking?”
“No.” Zhong Chai stated without hesitation, “Everything you cook is tasty.”
Zhong Chai’s straight ball always caught Xiao Cha off guard, and his ears turned red. “I will cook for you every day,” he stated with a smile.
Afterwards, no matter how busy Xiao Cha was, he made at least one meal a day for Zhong Chai. It was either breakfast before heading out or supper after returning home from overtime work.
When he traveled for work, he would also prepare sauces and foods that could be kept for a long time and eaten by Zhong Chai simply by warming them up.
“I will also learn to cook in the future,” Zhong Chai said, nodding.
Later, after frequently destroying the kitchen, Zhong Chai abandoned the worthy cause of cooking.
In his words: “It’s enough to have one person in the family who can cook!”
Xiao Cha was very pleased that Zhong Chai would never enter the kitchen again.
After all, Zhong Chai was the one who had to taste-test the dark dishes every time, which was akin to a poison test.
This torture was too much for his body, no matter how healthy it was!
When asked about Zhong Chai’s remarks about not cooking in later interviews, Xiao Cha would always respond with satisfaction: “He’s right, it’s enough to have one person in the family who can cook.”
aww they are so adorable!!!
