“I’ll order takeout.” Song Yu scrolled through her phone to search for the number of the nearest takeout.

“I don’t fancy takeout from regular restaurants.” Qi Chengzhi twitched his lips in disdain, as though food from those places would insult his stomach.

“How about something from Dynasty 1  then?” Song Yu tried suggesting but in her mind, she was silently criticizing him for being such a fussy man.

Qi Chengzhi looked at her and said, “Dynasty is so far away from here. I’ll die from hunger by the time food arrives.”

“…” ‘Is it even possible for you to have a meal normally, Young Master Cheng?’

“Why don’t you cook me something? Any light, homely dish will do.” Qi Chengzhi took off his glasses. Warm indoor winds had caused his lens to turn foggy.

He might as well not put them on again, so he simply placed it somewhere on the coffee table.

“I’m sorry, I don’t eat at home often since I work overtime on most days. I don’t have any ingredients to cook with at home because they’ll turn if I stored them too long.” Song Yu felt somewhat embarrassed. “I do have instant noodles, I can cook it if you want.”

“…”

Qi Chengzhi looked up cynically at her without lifting his head, making her feel as though she had committed some heinous blunder.

He got up and responded bluntly, “Let’s go.”

“We’re going out to eat?” Song Yu followed him and asked.

“To buy groceries.” Qi Chengzhi was already heading to the door.

“I thought you didn’t feel like budging. Wouldn’t it be easier to find a restaurant than to buy groceries and cook?” Song Yu blurted without giving it much thought.

Without a sign, Qi Chengzhi stopped abruptly. Song Yu nearly ran into him. Although she managed to halt her steps in time, at that instant, both of them were in very close proximity to each other.

She lifted her head up and saw his unhappy expression. His eyes simply squinted at her without saying a word.

Not many were able to bear it when Qi Chengzhi displayed such a look; many felt rather apprehensive.
