Description

Tao Mingzhuo was eating when the newly appointed VP of the company walked up and started talking to him.

Jing Ci, “Hello, Mr. Tao. Would it be okay if you joined me for lunch tomorrow?”

“Huh? Okay,” replied Tao Mingzhuo, caught off guard by the sudden proposal.

He was cordially thanked by Jing Ci, who then added, “Would it also be alright if I stare at your face as I eat?”

Tao Mingzhuo, “….?”

Tao Mingzhuo ate lavish meals for the entire week, all while facing Jing Ci’s ‘affectionate stare’. All it took was one week for him to see that something was wrong with their arrangement.

“Mr. Jing, I like someone else.” Tao Mingzhuo lied, hoping that faced with an impossibility, Jing Ci would step back.

Jing Ci, “Ahh, nice.”

Jing Ci, “Do you want Sichuan or Japanese cuisine for lunch tomorrow? Oh, if you like, we can also try Cantonese dishes. There is a restaurant nearby that I know serves good dim sum.”

The dismal possibility that Jing Ci really liked him made Tao Mingzhuo feel down in the dumps.

A month later, Jing Ci asked, “Would you like to come eat with me everyday at my house? I’ll pay you double your salary.”

Shocked, Tao Mingzhuo turned pale.

Brief background with the plot with spoiler

... more>>
Spoiler

Jian Ci was suffering of eating disorder where he can't feel the hunger or taste the food, but because of the MC he watched him eating with gusto then he felt the appetite which leads the description. Misunderstanding build up until both of them in a relationship but I'm glad they talked it out. And some readers might complaint how childish the gong is but it's his first relationship he even had a hard time accepting things while being lead on with misunderstandings but he had brains he didn't rushed out (i felt the heartache when he cried, he had all the right to doubt I give him that), he think it over, pros and cons. I'm just glad the ML could lead and understand, though a lot of teasing but why not? Add some spice. But still the gong really is a green despite his doubt he really cared, he found ways.

Anyways. I enjoy it. Just wondering why the low rating.

I’ve been in a reading slump for a long while and this novel managed to pull me out of it. Xia Fan Cai piqued my interest because it looked like a light-hearted read – and indeed it is. Nothing too lengthy nor stressful.

Jing Ci has been suffering from loss of appetite ever since he returned abroad and started managing (overworking at) their own company. Tao Mingzhou, an employee at their company, is a hearty eater – so much so that it whets JC’s missing appetite. Ngl, it made me search... more>> for mukbang just so I can imagine it being him (not me wishing a 2D chara to be real again Dx) because the way author describe him eating, unconsciously stirred my appetite, too.

I find TM’s character cute (a growing puppy hahaha). JC, on the other hand, has such a power bottom vibe. He knows what he wants, and what to do to achieve it without appearing forceful at all. He’s so gentle, too. (I get why TM’s ends up flustered ;///; If JC’s an element, then he’s definitely a water. Free-flowing, gentle, cool, tolerant, and handsome. An excellent flirt too. QwQ He got me swooning. Biting a tomato and licking the trickling juice?? *gulps saliva* whoa—tomato is such a healthy fruit, isn’t it? Long live, tomatoes!

Personally, it always makes me weak in the knees when a shou knows how to tease his man. It’s a huge plus if their partner does not react like a dog in a rut but still get seriously affected *gay panics—and reliable. TM gets really shy easily, but he knows to man up when the situation calls for it—very caring like a cute puppy and dependable. He just needs some guidance—err... maybe it’s just my preference for innocent tops? Just like KartKid111, I also dig tropes like this, even better because he’s not a crybaby. I want recs!

Anyway, the misunderstanding was done very well. It didn’t stress me out. It’s not annoying but do keep you on your toes for the big reveal. The side characters are not so superficial either. It’s a well-told story—focused on the two of them, yes, but not revolving solely around them. To conclude, read it if you want to relax and craves sweet tender dogfood. <<less

Mingzhuo, oh Mingzhuo.

I thought I reviewed this novel ah, guess I didn't. I feel the urge to emphasize this because this author.. Teacher Jiecai is truly one of my favorite authors. She just writes so damn well.

So here, we're going into a story that's built on misunderstandings, a lighthearted one of course. If you've read, 'This nutrition is too good' or other similar books. It's along that line of misunderstanding.

The main keypoint in Teacher Jiecai's books are that she tends to make boy failure gongs and really badass shous hahaha.... more>> Eat it up gladly.

Coherent writing, beautiful flow, amazing tension and the cutest- most interesting, characters. A story that's seems more like a quick episode of a real life drama than a drawn out 2D storyboard that's way too clumped up. In other words, It's flowy, airy and lively. That's what I love the most about her books.

P.S- I don't remember that well but some aspects, the eating disorders and stuff may seem a bit unrealistic. But this is a lighthearted read so we should just enjoy the trope~

I guarantee you, you can't hate this book. <<less

Nice and simple! At first, I felt like the short amount of total chapters wasn't enough and kept this on the shelf until now... It was actually just the right amount for an interesting no-appetite-mysterious-illness (or just a kind of eating disorder that could be cured through watching the MC eat) plot! The summary intrigued me at first and led me here, completing the novel within one-go! Or two-go, since I didn't have enough time to finish it overnight, plus work and all, so I was delayed of reading this... more>> beautiful novel until I finally found my rest. I'm so glad I picked this up, the story is light, sweet and fluffy! I love the sweet misunderstanding and even sweeter and tender romance after.

The other secondary characters are also interesting, neither shallow enough or 2D to warrant indifference, but just a good amount to feel well-written for a short, simple novel like this. I also love the funny little extra chapter, which honestly got me in the first half.

It felt like that girl really helped MC a ton, getting a free special 'apology' from the ML.

[collapse]

The MC is the sunny, easily flustered, friendly-type of character. While the ML was more of the calmer, gentle, and tolerant type. I absolutely love this trope so this novel absolutely won my heart, heading to my favourites. The plot is very simple and easy to understand, which I love further. I highly recommend this novel for a short, easy, and light-read with a whole lot of cuteness and sweet misunderstandings. I personally find the MCs spoken thoughts hilarious, he's just so sweet! And scheming with the way he acts spoiled or pitiful around the ML to get what he wants~ if you get what I mean >-<. <<less

Its sooo cute and funny. The misunderstandings were delicious and the MC being so foolishly adorable is also damnnn cute. I love how this time its the gong that's very 'innocent' and blushes super easily while the shou is more of the calm and collected but the biggest natural flirt. Usually I hate misunderstandings but this is way too cute so alls good.

Though I wasnt the biggest fan of the MC being abit childish towards the end. Like I do understand that hes upset and he doesnt mean everything he... more>> says or does but still.......... :") but hes really sweet so itsokay. Also the second hand embarrassment is quite embarrassing so I couldnt stop laughin and cringing like crazy.

Last but not least, the ML is super smoothhhh. Like I mean it. Everything he says and does and even when he flirts, it all just felt so natural. I also love the 'confession' scene. It felt so emotional and sincere. Im in loveeee ♡ <<less

It was cute, a feel good story. 3.5/5

I liked it and would recommend it to some readers looking for nothing serious.

The thing with this novel is that it's really forgettable.

The plot is nice, but that's it, just nice. Nothing particularly stands out to me and there isn't a driving force in the story aside from Jing Ci's illness.

If I got distracted mid way reading this, I would not really be enthusiastic to get back into it.

Still, it was nice.
