Zhuang Yu, head bowed, couldn’t help feeling a bit downhearted. Surrounded by many who showed him attentiveness, yet none were willing to spend a fortune for him as Mu Chen once did. When he didn't need Mu Chen, Mu Chen was always around. Now that he could use Mu Chen's presence, Mu Chen had vanished, leaving Zhuang Yu feeling somewhat depressed.
Ye Shi, hiding on the side, stealthily observed Zhuang Yu. Initially reluctant, Ye Shi was persuaded by Chen Da to come and sneak a peek. Deep down, he was also curious about the person Mu Chen fancied.
Ye Shi recognized Zhuang Yu at first glance. Like Mu Chen, Zhuang Yu was also a Double. Though Doubles were males, they often possessed a more delicate beauty than common men, and Zhuang Yu was no exception.
"Yuehe Restaurant." Mu Chen muttered the restaurant's name, a favorite haunt of his predecessor for its pricey but exquisite dishes, including several made from magical beast meat that were both delicious and beneficial for health.
"Young Master, would you like to dine here?" Ren San asked.
Mu Chen nodded, "Sure."
...
Upon seeing Mu Chen, Chen Moran exclaimed, "Look who we have here, if it isn’t Young Master Mu Chen himself! Finally decided to show your face."

Mu Chen, upon spotting Zhuang Yu and Chen Moran, felt an unusual stir in his heart. He had tried to avoid Zhuang Yu, yet fate seemed determined to bring them together.
Ye Shi was taken aback by Mu Chen's sudden entrance.
"Ah, Young Master Mu Chen has arrived too," Amu murmured to himself.
Startled by Amu’s sudden appearance, Ye Shi asked, "What are you doing here?"
Amu shrugged, "Kitchen's quiet, came to check things out. Young Master Mu Chen is looking more handsome by the day."
Previously known for his frivolous lifestyle, Mu Chen had undergone a significant change, now exuding a more wholesome and radiant demeanor.
"It's nothing special. Where do you see him being handsome?" Ye Shi bit his lip, a bit defensively.
Amu glanced at Ye Shi and mumbled, "Shi, you really have high standards!"
Ye Shi's cheeks flushed as he muttered, "He's really not that great."
Upon entering the restaurant, Mu Chen immediately noticed Ye Shi and Amu. His soul had merged with the original Mu Chen upon crossing over, granting him a substantial soul strength that allowed him to clearly hear even their whispered conversation.
"Shi, I think Mu Chen glanced our way. Was he looking at us?" Amu speculated.
"He just looked over here randomly," Ye Shi dismissed.
Ye Shi bit his lip when Mu Chen glanced their way, startled for a moment before Mu Chen shifted his gaze away.
Ye Shi internally chastised himself for being unnerved by just a look from Mu Chen.
With a slight smile, Mu Chen thought to himself, "This other world really is full of beautiful men. Even a restaurant server is this striking, exactly my type!"
