Tao Yu smiled and nodded. Though she knew the spiritual world differed from reality, and the butler here was not the same as in the first world, she still felt a sense of familiarity.
“Thank you, Mr. Butler,” Tao Yu responded with a smile.
Yue Linze glanced at her without speaking. Soon, two steaks with side dishes were served. As the butler was about to leave, Yue Linze casually said, “Tell the kitchen to prepare another steak and salad, with soy milk.”
The butler nodded and left, soon leaving only the two of them in the dining room.
Tao Yu was curious why Yue Linze ordered an extra portion but decided not to ask. She waited for him to start eating before using her knife and fork.
Though the meal was awkward, the delicious food helped ease the tension, and Yue Linze didn’t have the habit of talking during meals. They managed to finish the meal without incident.
The only imperfection might be not having eaten enough. Tao Yu looked at the empty plate with regret. Yue Linze’s gaze remained fixed on her plate, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes, and soon the butler brought what he wanted.
“For Dr. Tao,” Yue Linze spoke calmly.
Tao Yu was stunned: “For me?”
The butler was also surprised, quickly delivering the item to Tao Yu.
Tao Yu thanked him, her heart gradually rising: “To be honest, I really wasn’t full. But how did Mr. Yue know?” She was slim and didn’t look like someone who could eat much, and this was their first meal together. Why would he prepare so much for her?
Could it be that the memory truly existed? The alternate personality hadn’t disappeared but had merged with the main personality, completely preserving previous memories? As soon as this thought emerged, Tao Yu felt she was being crazy.
“All my previous doctors had big appetites,” Yue Linze explained casually.
Tao Yu looked at him questioningly but said nothing, lowering her head to continue eating. Yue Linze had already finished and sat waiting for her.
Tao Yu felt his gaze constantly on her, so intense it could burn her. After a while, she couldn’t help but look up, only to find Yue Linze wasn’t actually looking at her.
