When we first met:
“With a little skill, you think you can get close to the Lu family? I’ve seen plenty of people trying to climb the social ladder. What makes you think you’re special?”
“Since I’m here, why not give it a try?”
At the awards ceremony:
“Lastly, I’d like to give special thanks to someone.”
“Thank you to the person who… helped me regain my sense of taste, and helped me experience… what it feels like to be hungry again.”
Later:
“Nothing matters more than your safety.”
“Half of this trophy belongs to her. Thank you, my… personal little chef. Thank you for coming into my life.”
“Jiang Ningyue, it’s not your cooking I love. I can’t do without… you, the one who cooks for me.”
A cold, aloof top-tier star who hides his unease behind an eating disorder VS a warm little chef with exquisite cooking skills who charms people without even realizing it
