[Quick Transmigration] Reverse strategy

After Shen Changxiu voluntarily left, Lee Joo-hyuk took Pei Youli into the pre-booked restaurant.

The first floor is the lobby, and the second floor is the private room. A few tables of guests in the lobby cast their gazes.

Pei Youli looked at Li Zhuhyuk, shirt and slacks, only a pair of sunglasses covering his eyes.

Not only is he taller than the waiter by a head, but he also has a straight waist and long legs. Taking a few steps casually seems to be walking on a runway, and his temperament is particularly outstanding.

She pulled up the mask, put on the hat, and deliberately took a few steps behind.

However, Li Zhuhe didn't know what Pei Youli was thinking, he thought she didn't keep up, so he stopped and waited for her.

There was no other way, Pei Youli had no choice but to speed up, and when the diners didn't realize which two artists they were, they went up the stairs with him.

Lee Joo Hyuk ordered a few more servings of their favorite meat.

He heard that Pei Youli had been on a diet for a while to lose weight for the new drama, and he didn't eat well in the army, so today's demand is naturally more than usual.

"I want carbohydrates." Sitting opposite, Pei Youli didn't take off her mask, pointing sullenly at the picture of fried rice with kimchi on the menu.

"Aren't you hot?" Lee Joo Hyuk repeated to the waiter, "We want one."

"Okay, a kimchi fried rice." The latter quickly wrote a few words on the paper.

Li Zhuhyuk turned to Pei Youli again: "Don't worry, they keep their secrets very good. I have been here many times, and it will never happen... like last time."

He already knew the ins and outs of the scandal between Pei Youli and Li Zhongshuo from Shen Changxiu.

The waiter immediately chimed in: "Miss Pei, don't worry, we have all received professional training and will keep our guests' secrets secret."

Pei Youli reluctantly removed all the concealing objects: "Did you recognize me?"

"It's not hard to recognize," the waiter nodded naturally, "Those eyes... it's you at first sight."

Moreover, the artist himself has a "horoscope", which is easy to distinguish.

His answer left Pei Youli speechless for a moment.

She was so hot just now... she was pretending in vain...

If I had known earlier, I would have come in openly.

"It's still useful." Lee Joo Hyuk and Pei Youli have been friends for two years, and you can roughly guess what she's thinking by looking at her expression. "The guests outside must not have reacted yet."

"That's true." The waiter agreed.

"In addition to fried rice with kimchi, I also want cold noodles." Lee Joo-hyuk added to the meal.

The waiter confirmed: "One serving?"

Lee Joo-hyuk gave a "hmm" and asked Pei Youli what else he wanted to eat.

"That's all, if it's not enough, add more."

"it is good."

The waiter went back and forth several times before the dishes were served.

He also thoughtfully took a few small bowls for serving cold noodles and fried rice.

"Need some barbecue for you?"

"I'll do it myself."

Seeing Lee Joo-hyuk took the tongs and scissors for the barbecue, the waiter said politely, then exited the room and closed the door.

The pure charcoal-fired barbecue, the small flame is getting stronger and stronger, and the pork belly makes a tempting sound of "Zi La Zi La" on it.

Pei Youli rested her cheeks, staring at the piece of meat that was turned over and over again by Li Zhuhyuk.

Should she take the initiative to find a topic?What can I say?

How are you doing in the military or something?Will it... seem too deliberate?

God, I didn't think that getting along with him alone was such a troublesome thing before.

Pei Youli was thinking hard about the things that the two of them would usually talk about when they were friends.

Lee Joo-hyuk on the opposite side raised his eyes to look at her from time to time, his state was similar to hers.

"Do you want me to help you?" Pei Youli struggled for a long time, and finally reached out, wanting the barbecue tongs.

"It's okay," Lee Joo-hyuk didn't give it to her, "you can just wait and eat."

Pei Youli withdrew her hand, glanced at the table a few times, and began to look for other jobs to do.

For example, share fried rice and cold noodles.

"You..." Seeing her action, Lee Joo Hyuk laughed, "Did you give me all the food you don't like?"

Pei Youli scraped the layer of cheese on the fried rice into his bowl.

"Is it that obvious?"

Lee Joo Hyuk: ...

He picked up the roasted meat and put it on her plate, duplicity: "It's not obvious at all."

"Hmm... I really haven't touched meat for almost two months." Pei Youli wrapped some peppers and pork belly with perilla leaves, "It's not right, I ate a lot of unseasoned beef like that."

"Then eat more today, don't save me money." Li Zhuhyuk spread the new meat on the stove, so he had time to bow his head and eat from his own bowl.

"Isn't the army not allowed to carry mobile phones? How do you know my news?"

"Regulations are regulations, but there are always people who commit crimes against the wind."

"Oh."

"How is the cooperation with Ren Guo?"

"He's a nice person, and his acting skills are good too... Does he seem to have an ankle injury?"

"Well, I enlisted before me, but I was exempted from military service because of my ankle injury."

"so."

"Otherwise, I won't have the chance to act with you." Lee Joo-hyuk said this with a bit of sourness.

Pei Youli paused for a while, and couldn't help laughing: "He doesn't play with me, so who will play with me? You?"

She reached out again, wanting to get the tongs to flip the meat.

But at the same time, Lee Joo Hyuk also stretched out his hand: "If I didn't go to the army, I would definitely go to the audition."

Before the words fell, the fingers of the two collided in the air.

His knuckles were obviously not warm, but she seemed to be scalded suddenly.

Pei Youli withdrew her hand silently: "I feel...Senior Ren Guo is more suitable for the role of 'Min Hyuk' than you."

She lowered her eyes and lit the empty plate with her chopsticks.

Is this stove too hot?

It feels like the face is about to be "steamed".

"Why?" Lee Joo Hyuk didn't quite agree with her words.

"Because...well..." Pei Youli put her hands on her cheeks again, looking for precise words, "You are too gorgeous to look like a student."

Her fingers were cooler than her cheeks, so it was much more comfortable to hold her.

Lee Joo Hyuk who heard this was slightly satisfied.

Pei Youli should be praising him for his good looks, right?

Thinking of this, the corners of Lee Joo Hyuk's lips became more and more curved, and the eyes staring at her were suddenly extremely gentle.

Pei Youli didn't understand why, after looking at him for a few seconds, she took the lead to look away.

After eating a spoonful of rice, a mouthful of soup, and a piece of perilla leaf, she pretended to raise her eyes casually again.

Lee Joo Hyuk was still looking at her.

Pei Youli: ...

"The meat is going to burn."

"Ah."

Hearing her voice, Lee Joo Hyuk looked back.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Hello, can I come in?"

After getting an affirmative answer, the waiter opened the door and entered to change the baking tray for the guests.

The atmosphere in the room made him curious.

The two people who should be familiar with each other sat facing each other, neither of them spoke, but they were not embarrassed, but rather ambiguous.

The waiter cleared the plates on the table again, and quickly retreated out.

About half an hour later, Lee Joo Hyuk came out alone.

"Check out."

"Swipe card?"

"Ah."

Lee Joo Hyuk took out a card from his wallet and handed it to the waiter.

"It's raining outside, do you need an umbrella?"

"can."

After thinking about it, Lee Joo-hyuk emphasized: "Just a handful."

The waiter was taken aback for a moment, and then fully understood the situation: "Okay, I'll send it in for you later."

Haven't caught up yet.

He seems to have discovered some gossip.

After Lee Joo-hyuk entered the room, the waiter excitedly ran to the counter to swipe his card, took a smaller umbrella, and then resumed his "dignified" look at work, pushed the door and walked into the private room.

"Hello, the account has been settled...and here is your umbrella."

Pei Youli frowned: "Is it raining?"

Li Zhuhyuk let out a soft "um", feeling a little guilty.

Pei Youli asked in confusion, "Is there only one?"

The waiter was a little embarrassed: "Sorry Miss Pei, other customers just took away a lot, and the staff also needed it, so this is the only one left..."

Pei Youli quickly waved her hands in understanding: "It's okay, I'll just ask."

The waiter replied with a smile: "Thank you for your understanding."

Lee Joo Hyuk gave him a thumbs up from behind.

The two did not go through the main entrance this time, but left through the side door.

It was indeed raining outside, the rain was not light, and the slanted rain would occasionally hit Pei Youli's pants.

She glanced slightly, and found that Lee Joo Hyuk was worse than herself.

The area that the umbrella can cover is limited, and most of his left shoulder is almost wet.

Moreover, Lee Joo-hyuk's car is a bit far away, and there is still a long way to go.

"Well, I have tissues here—"

Pei Youli, who was looking down for things, suddenly felt her waist tighten.

"There are puddles, be careful."

With a low and magnetic voice close to his ear, he exerted a little force and lifted her into the air with just one hand.

Pei Youli, who belatedly raised her head, only saw that she "wrote" a wide and deep puddle.

"……thanks."

Her voice was softer than the sound of rain falling.

Li Zhuhe put Pei Youli down, and helped her straighten the hem of her coat: "You are a little bit wrong today."

"Huh?" Pei Youli was taken aback, "You've always been wrong."

Yet another nonchalant answer.

Lee Joo Hyuk chuckled lightly and took her arm: "When did you know?"

Pei Youli was still pretending to be stupid: "Know what?"

"I know..." Lee Joo Hyuk leaned down slightly, looking straight into her eyes, "I know I like you."

His eyes were silent and dark, full of inquiry and expectation, and slightly uncertain.

And with this movement, the umbrella lowered a lot, completely covering the figures of the two of them.

Pei Youli tightened her handbag strap.

The rain came suddenly, but it was just right.

Vehicles and pedestrians hurried home, and no one paid any attention to them on the street.

The rapidly falling rain seems to have turned into a still silver curtain, making the outline of Lee Joo Hyuk more and more clear.

"Huh? I don't know."

"Don't seniors dislike me?"

"Today is also for the sake of Senior Ren Guo--"

Li Zhuhe drew closer again, and Pei Youli stopped talking abruptly.

His lips were in front of his eyes, and the memory of drinking that day flashed into his mind again.

She took a few steps back unconsciously, trying to turn around.

"Hurry up and go home, why do you want to sleep so much after eating..."

"Pei Youli, I like you."

"..."

Pei Youli paused and froze in place.

This boring gourd finally spoke out.

"Before...you were interested in Li Zhongshuo and Lin Shiwan, so I didn't dare to say it."

Having been friends for too long, Lee Joo Hyuk suddenly expressed his heart, he was a little nervous, and said whatever came to his mind.

"..."

However, when someone confesses their love, how can someone go through the history of each other's heartbeat?

"I'm also very worried... I can't even be friends if I say it." Lee Joo-hyuk continued, his tone cautious.

"So you plan now?" Pei Youli had been waiting for him to take the initiative, and now she finally waited, and looked at him encouragingly.

"It doesn't matter if you don't like me, it's good that we... can continue to be friends."

Pei Youli: ...

Her temples twitched, and she continued to guide patiently: "It doesn't matter if I'm with someone else?"

Lee Joo Hyuk struggled for a few seconds, and chose to follow his heart: "It does matter."

Pei Youli raised her eyebrows: "Huh?"

"We..." Lee Joo Hyuk clenched the handle of the umbrella, "Can we have a try?"

Pei Youli instantly breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes became extraordinarily relieved.

It would have been better to say no.
