On the first day of school, the school beauty in black stockings took me to a hotel.

As the Cullinan drove away from the garage, Su Wanqing gripped the steering wheel and glanced at Liu Yu.

Liu Yu was slumped in his chair, staring blankly out the window, as if his soul had been emptied.

"Your Majesty, what would you like for dinner? How about roasted meat from the Great Willow Tree?"

"...But I can eat a whole cow now. A cow that weighs over 500 pounds."

Su Wanqing laughed: "Your Majesty, mind your image. You are the 'War God with Weak Legs' now, not the 'War God with No Rice'."

"I am both: 'Leg-weak, gluttonous war god,' my new title. Do you like it?"

"I love it, I love it! I love every title Your Majesty has. Especially the prefix 'weak legs,' it's so vivid and descriptive."

Liu Yu closed his eyes and accepted the taunts.

A rumbling sound from his stomach completely betrayed him.

Su Wanqing nearly drove the car into a tree: "Hahahaha! Your Majesty, your imperial stomach is crying out for justice!"

"Enough talk, drive faster. If you delay my meal, can you afford the consequences?"

"Yes, Your Majesty..." Su Wanqing pressed the accelerator slightly harder, and the Cullinan nimbly changed lanes and overtook the car.

Fifteen minutes later, the car stopped in front of the "Daliushu Barbecue" restaurant.

Liu Yu got out of the car, holding onto the door.

The moment his feet touched the ground, he clearly felt the soreness in his thighs.

"Your Majesty, please take care of your health."

Su Wanqing walked over quickly, took his arm, and her smile was so irritating.

"Should I get you a wheelchair? Or... shall I carry you inside?"

"Su, Wan, Qing".

Su Wanqing blinked her big eyes: "Your Majesty has worked so hard and made great contributions! Boss! Give us an ox!"

The second half of the sentence was shouted at the waiter, and the voice was clear and loud, attracting the attention of several people nearby.

The waiter paused for a moment, then gave a professional smile: "Two people? There are still seats inside. A cow... what do you mean?"

Liu Yu quickly tried to salvage the situation, straightening his posture as he did so: "She was just joking. A small table for two will be fine with us."

"Okay, this way please!"

After sitting down, Su Wanqing picked up the menu and, without even looking at it, began rattling off the names of the dishes.

"Three servings of signature fatty beef! Two servings of snowflake beef short ribs! One serving of black pepper beef tongue! Two servings of braised pork belly! One serving of grilled sauerkraut! One serving each of enoki mushrooms, chives, and potato slices! Two bowls of bibimbap! One serving of soybean paste soup! Oh, and extra lettuce and perilla leaves, please!"

The waiter couldn't help but look up to confirm, "Can you two... finish your meal?"

Liu Yu waved his hand and said, "Do as she says. Also, give me an extra serving of toasted bread slices, the kind brushed with honey."

"Okay, please wait a moment, you two will be right there!"

Su Wanqing rested her chin on her hand and looked at Liu Yu: "Your Majesty, the way you waved your hand to order food just now was very domineering. If your legs hadn't been shaking, you would have been even more domineering."

"...Don't talk while eating or sleeping, understand?"

Su Wanqing leaned closer: "I don't understand. I only know that it is my duty and honor to serve His Majesty until his legs are weak and his back aches."

"Su Wanqing! This is a public place!"

Su Wanqing playfully raised an eyebrow at Liu Yu and made a face, but her eyes were so ambiguous they could almost melt your heart.

Liu Yu: "..."

We lost. We lost completely.

When it comes to the art of language, he'll never beat Su Wanqing in his lifetime.

The waiter quickly brought over the meat and vegetables, lit the charcoal fire, preheated the grill, and laid out the succulent slices of meat, the oil seeping out and the aroma filling the air.

Liu Yu's eyes immediately lit up, and all thoughts of weak legs and aching back, as well as shameful teasing, were thrown to the winds.

At that moment, all he could see and think about was the meat on the grill!

Su Wanqing took the initiative to take on the responsibility of grilling the meat.

"Your Majesty, please be patient, this piece of beef will be ready soon."

She picked up a slice of fatty beef and placed it on Liu Yu's plate: "Try it."

Liu Yu didn't care that it was hot; he blew on it twice and then stuffed it into his mouth.

The next second, he closed his eyes.

"Hmm... He's alive. Su Wanqing, I hereby officially declare that you are my savior."

"I am deeply grateful for your service in saving my life."

Su Wanqing smiled and placed another slice of beef rib on his plate: "But if Your Majesty really wants to thank me, please go back tonight..."

"Stop! Eat! Focus on your food!"

Su Wanqing smiled so much that her eyes curved into crescent moons.

The next hour was pure, efficient, and immersive dry meal time.

The two barely spoke, their attention entirely focused on the food.

Su Wanqing grilled it, and Liu Yu ate it.

Su Wanqing wrapped a vegetable bun and handed it to Liu Yu, who took it and swallowed it in one bite.

Occasionally, their eyes would meet, one raising an eyebrow (the flesh is ready), the other nodding (understood).

No words are needed; everything is conveyed through the grilled meat.

The waiter added charcoal twice and changed the grill pan twice. Seeing the empty plates on the table and the way the two people ate, he couldn't help but secretly marvel.

After eating and drinking their fill, the two leaned back in their chairs in perfect unison.

"Burp!!!!!" Liu Yu couldn't help but let out a small burp.

"Hiccup!!!!!" Su Wanqing followed suit and also hiccuped.

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Are you full?

I'm full.

Liu Yu nodded, feeling that he had regained about half of his lost energy, and at least his mind was clear.

My legs... well, they're still a bit unsteady, but I can control them now.

"Could you still eat a whole cow, Your Majesty?"

"...I can't eat anymore right now. But I feel like I could eat a whole pig."

Su Wanqing laughed and scolded, "Have some guts! Pay the bill!"

After paying the bill and stepping out of the store, a refreshing breeze greeted me, carrying the pleasant feeling of late autumn.

Liu Yu stretched, feeling completely relaxed, except for one part that was still faintly protesting.

"It's past ten o'clock, Your Majesty. Let's go back to school. The dormitory doors will be closing soon."

"Um."

Liu Yu nodded and naturally reached out to take her hand, but then suddenly remembered something, paused in mid-air, and instead... held her shoulder.

Su Wanqing: "??????"

"Well... my legs are still a bit weak, can I borrow some strength?" Liu Yu looked straight ahead, pretending to be calm.

Su Wanqing reacted: "Hahahaha! Liu Yu! Are you serious! It's less than fifty meters from the parking lot to the car! You want to help me walk? Hahahaha! Your Majesty, your aftereffects are lasting too long!"

"What are you laughing at! This is... a strategic recovery! What do you know! Hurry up, the car keys!"

"Okay, okay, strategy, strategy."

Su Wanqing laughed until tears streamed down her face. While taking out her car keys to unlock it, she helped Liu Yu and swayed as they moved to the car.

Once inside the car, Liu Yu finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Su Wanqing started the car, still laughing: "Your Majesty, the way you walked just now was quite reminiscent of Wu Lao Er's aftereffects of a stroke back then."

"Su! Wan! Qing! If you mention it again, you'll have to go to the driving school yourself tomorrow!"

"Oh dear, I was wrong, I was wrong. I wouldn't dare do that again. Your Majesty is vigorous and powerful, your might is awe-inspiring. My slight weakness was merely a strategic feigned weakness to mislead the enemy!"

Liu Yu: "..."

Forget it, he's never won an argument with this girl.

He chose to close his eyes and pretend to be asleep.
