Chen Yi's feeling of hunger drove him to almost gobble up the steak in front of him, his actions resembling those of a famished animal eagerly devouring each piece of steak. In this state, he almost forgot everything around him, including his own pain and the presence of the woman.
The woman watched Chen Yi eat, her brows furrowing involuntarily. Leaning against the stove, she observed his almost uncontrollable appetite and spoke with a hint of seriousness, "Don't run upstairs like that again. That area is for conducting business. With your whole body covered in wounds suddenly appearing there, think about how the guests would react."
Chen Yi heard the woman's words and realized that his previous behavior was indeed a bit rash. He reproached himself inwardly and felt somewhat ashamed. He slowed down his eating pace, looked up at the woman, and spoke with a hint of apology in his voice: "I'm sorry, I was just... too hungry." His voice was low, tinged with unease and self-reproach.
Upon hearing Chen Yi's apology, the woman's furrowed brow relaxed slightly. Her expression softened a bit, evidently showing some understanding of Chen Yi's situation, but she still maintained a certain seriousness: "I know you're hungry, but you also need to pay attention to your behavior. You should rest well now and let the wound heal."
Chen Yi nodded in understanding, then continued to eat the steak, but this time his movements were more elegant and careful, as if he was trying to follow the woman's advice and reflect on his own behavior.
As Chen Yi savored the delicious steak in front of him, his focus was interrupted by the rhythmic sound of high heels rubbing against the floor. The sound gradually approached, and finally, a middle-aged man in a suit and vest slowly walked into the kitchen. The man's face carried a gentle and friendly expression, revealing his ability to maintain a sense of calm and professionalism in a busy and complex environment.
A young woman raised her head to look at the middle-aged man who had just entered the kitchen. Her eyebrows slightly furrowed, seemingly curious about his arrival, but also with a hint of professional concern: "Are there no more customers now?" Her question not only showed her concern for the work, but also revealed her sensitivity to the operation of the bar.
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and replied, "No one is ordering drinks now, Wanqing, you go and watch the front first." His voice was calm and confident, as if he was in full control of the operation of the bar, revealing a familiarity and mastery of the work process in his words.
Wanqing seemed not surprised by this answer. She nodded in understanding before leaving the kitchen. Before she left, she turned to look at Chen Yi, her eyes filled with worry and concern, as if silently caring about Chen Yi's condition. But in the end, she turned away, carrying a hint of professionalism, and walked towards the bar to fulfill her duties.
The middle-aged man who stayed in the kitchen then focused his attention on Chen Yi. His eyes were full of kindness and care, as if silently giving Chen Yi a sense of comfort and warmth. He seemed to have something to share with Chen Yi, but his gaze also swept over Chen Yi from time to time, as if confirming whether Chen Yi could successfully eat this meal and ensuring that his body could accept such nourishment.
In this simple and warm back kitchen, Chen Yi felt an unprecedented sense of security and comfort. Although he was still confused and puzzled about his current situation and future, the unexpected care he received in this unfamiliar environment brought a warmth to his heart. He knew that even though he was still in a state of confusion, at least at this moment, he was not alone.
The middle-aged man sat down in front of Chen Yi, his posture elegant and composed, with a gentle smile on his face. He gazed softly at Chen Yi and then asked, "How does my daughter's steak taste? Is it delicious?" There was a hint of pride and expectation in his tone, as if waiting for Chen Yi's answer.
The middle-aged man's gaze shifted to Chen Yi, as if his eyes could see through everything, making Chen Yi feel exposed. When he asked about the taste of the steak, his anticipation and attention unconsciously sped up Chen Yi's eating pace. He tried to chew and swallow the steak, while also attempting to find the right words to express his appreciation. However, the embarrassment and nervousness seemed to weigh heavily on every word. Then he quickly nodded and replied, "It's very delicious, the best steak I've ever had." His voice revealed sincere praise and gratitude, and his eyes sparkled with appreciation for the delicious dish.
After hearing this response, the middle-aged man's face showed a satisfied smile, nodding slightly in agreement. He seemed very confident in his daughter's cooking skills and was pleased with Chen Yi's praise.
Chen Yi sat there, continuously cutting the steak on his plate with his knife and fork, but his attention seemed to be drawn to the presence of the middle-aged man in front of him. The man's demeanor appeared both gentle and dignified, creating a mixed atmosphere that was both warm and slightly imposing. Chen Yi felt a subtle sense of awkwardness, and couldn't help but think about how to behave more appropriately under such a gaze.
After answering the man's question, Chen Yi felt a slight warmth on his cheeks, realizing that his behavior in front of this man might seem somewhat rough. He turned his gaze to the steak on his plate, trying to conceal his unease and embarrassment. His movements became more cautious and delicate, with each cut and chew being handled carefully, making every effort to show politeness and respect.
However, Chen Yi couldn't help but worry about whether his behavior would leave a bad impression on the man. He would sneak glances at the man, trying to find a reaction or evaluation from his expression. Whenever he felt the man's warm and friendly gaze, Chen Yi's heart couldn't help but beat faster, a strange sense of tension spreading within him.
In this subtle atmosphere, Chen Yi made an effort to finish the steak on his plate, filled with gratitude and curiosity towards the mysterious man who had saved him. His thoughts wandered between embarrassment, gratitude, and curiosity, while the steak on his plate was unknowingly eaten bite by bite. The satisfaction after the meal seemed to slightly ease his inner tension, but Chen Yi was still full of doubts and unease about his future and this unexpected experience.
