Chapter 2

Looking at the exquisitely arranged dishes stacked layer upon layer before him, Chen Yuan finally smiled.

“Darling,” he couldn’t wait to say the line, “I don’t like people who waste food. You ordered so much; if you can’t finish it, I won’t be able to help pay the bill.”

I pretended to be shocked: “Huh? All this, I have to eat it by myself?”

He maliciously smiled, the hidden camera on his chest zooming in on my bewildered expression: “What’s the matter, now you know what pain is? You were quite happy when ordering, weren’t you?”

In the livestream, the comments started mocking as well.

“Here it comes, my favorite segment!”

“Young Master Chen is mighty, actually tricked her into ordering ten portions, 680,000, hahaha, now she’s done for.”

“This woman’s got guts too. I’m a grown man and I can’t finish a single king crab in one meal, and she dared to order ten.”

“Playing demure earlier, pretending not to want anything. I thought she was just greedy, didn’t expect her to be so stupid!”

“Today’s fun is interesting. I can’t wait to see her eat until she pukes, and then cry for help with that face!”

Chen Yuan contentedly enjoyed the comments, then turned his gaze back to me.

“Why are you looking at me? Eat!”

But rather than crying and begging for forgiveness as they imagined, I simply smiled contentedly and picked up my knife and fork.

“Thank you, brother, I won’t be polite then!”

Under everyone’s incredulous gaze, I ate all the food for ten, bite by bite.

Not even a single grain of rice in the abalone rice was left.

In fact, if I weren’t afraid of being too shocking, I could almost swallow the king crab shells as well.

As if, a long, long time ago, that was how I ate.

Probably because I’m too hungry, I thought.

Chen Yuan pinched his nose and paid the 680,000 bill.

“Brother, can I ask you out for a meal next time? My treat.” I smiled shyly, as if the person who just ate ten portions’ worth of food wasn’t me.

He looked at my still-flat stomach under my clothes and gave a dazed “Ah.”

In the livestream.

“After all our calculations, we didn’t expect to provoke a big eater.”

“No wonder she was so happy when Young Master Chen offered to treat. With that appetite, she must have never been full at home, right?”

“I really want to suspect she went to vomit, but from start to finish, she didn’t even go to the bathroom.”

“What a freak, seriously. Young Master Chen didn’t lose unfairly this time.”

“Wait, you’re just giving up? Our Gold Digger Hunting Squad has never been this humiliated before!”

Chen Yuan was distracted until another hand heavily clapped his shoulder.

“A Yuan, out with the girlfriend?”

I turned my head; a handsome, gentle young man was smiling at me.

Chen Yuan hurriedly clarified: “No, a friend I met through a game. First time meeting in person today.”

And introduced me: “Tao Tao, this is my friend, Fang Yunsheng.”

Fang Yunsheng gestured for three cups of coffee.

“Rare to run into you, stay a bit longer?”

He tentatively looked at my stomach: “Miss Tao Tao, can you still fit some coffee?”

He came very close; a subtle fragrance wafted over, making me unconsciously twitch my nose.

“Brother Yunsheng, you smell so good.”

He burst into a chuckle.

“You like my cologne? I’ll send you a bottle later.”

Chen Yuan sounded a bit miffed at the side: “What, don’t I smell good?”

I lowered my head shyly: “Brother Yuan smells good too, but Brother Yunsheng smells even better.”

The two laughed together, the fragrance surging like silk mist. I couldn’t help but swallow my saliva, my stomach, which had just felt a little full, began to rumble again.

“This might sound a bit rude,” Fang Yunsheng gently spoke, “I was behind you earlier and saw Miss Tao Tao eat.”

He paused: “I just opened a new media company, and there’s a food-themed livestream channel that happens to need a big eater like Tao Tao.”

I was flattered: “Me?”

“Right, Taotao is cute with such a good appetite, that’s a great contrast. With a little effort, you’ll definitely become popular.”

Fang Yunsheng and I added each other on WeChat.

It was already midnight when I got home. As soon as I opened the door, my phone buzzed suddenly.

A stranger’s QQ account sent a friend request, with a message attached: I know what you want to do.
