You Look Delicious

A slow-burn slice of life | A flirt pursues his wife | They save each other

Zhu Fu always thought her new neighbor, Jing Yu, was an impossibly beautiful, distant flower on a high peak, and that their paths would never cross.

By chance, they added each other on WeChat. Later, needing a dining companion and a model for her startup, she posted on her social feed looking for someone to eat with. To her surprise, this unattainable beauty showed up at her door and volunteered.

He generously offered his home as a filming location, said he wouldn't need any payment, and promised to be available whenever she called.

Zhu Fu was sold. The two became filming partners right away.

As they got to know each other, Zhu Fu found that she and her dining companion seemed to be on the same wavelength. Whenever they ate together, he wore something that was exactly to her taste.

For example, the distant beauty would wear gold-rimmed glasses and a white shirt buttoned all the way to the collar, looking like an abstinent, cultured scoundrel as he ate quietly.

Zhu Fu: (Wow.) He's a Maybach among cultured scoundrels.

Or, the distant beauty would come back from some banquet in a black three-piece suit, his black hair swept back to reveal a smooth forehead. With striking, captivating features, he'd coldly cut his steak with a knife and fork.

Zhu Fu: (Slurp, slurp.) Where did this daddy come from?!

And then there was the distant beauty, still damp from his shower, with three buttons of his black shirt undone. In the light, his broad shoulders and narrow waist stood out, his chest barely visible beneath the fabric.

Zhu Fu: (Eyes darting.) I'll just take one look.

Perhaps her gaze on his chest had been too obvious. The distant beauty suddenly asked, "What are you looking at?"

A handsome man is dangerous. Before she knew it, the truth slipped out: "You look delicious."

Oh no. How did I just say what I really think?

She slowly raised her eyes, only to meet his faintly amused gaze. "So that's what you're into."

"Want to have a taste?"

Later, Zhu Fu got what she wanted... though it was a little more than she could handle.

Jing Yu came from a prominent family and had always been the apple of everyone's eye, yet he developed an eating disorder.

He'd thought he'd never be interested in food again, until a new neighbor moved in next door. Catching the aroma of her cooking, one irresistible thought suddenly came to mind.

----I really want to eat my new neighbor's food.

Later, he wanted more than just the food she made. He wanted to eat her, too. One day, he happened to discover her private social media account. Looking at the hundreds of little thoughts she'd posted, he fell into deep contemplation.

After that, the man who'd never cared about his appearance began trying all sorts of new looks.
