Seriously? She had finally come to Japan, and he was recommending a lettuce salad to her!

There were so many delicious dishes on the menu—pork cutlet rice, curry soup, sukiyaki, sashimi, grilled meat skewers… She didn’t want to be a vegetarian and only eat salad!

But Zheng Yuanshi still had a look of concern on his face. “I know you don’t eat anything after nine in the evening, but you didn’t eat much on the plane. You should eat something.”

Not eating after nine in the evening?

Jian Shuning was taken aback, remembering that this was one of Du Qingshuo’s dietary rules. Since she was using someone else’s body and representing their identity, she should follow their rules.

But…

She looked at her watch and suddenly brightened. “It’s only a little after eight!”

Zheng Yuanshi smiled. “You forgot about the time difference, right? Japan is one hour ahead of us.”

So it was already after nine in Japan?

Jian Shuning blinked, watching as Zheng Yuanshi waved over a server and ordered a full set of ginger-grilled meat for himself. She swallowed, envious.

“What do you want to eat? Caesar salad or fruit yogurt salad?” he asked casually after ordering his own meal. She didn’t want to eat salad!

“I want pork cutlet rice! A large portion!” Jian Shuning decided to go for it. She couldn’t bear to miss out on delicious food, and she didn’t care what Zheng Yuanshi thought.

Zheng Yuanshi looked at her in surprise.

But she pouted, her clear eyes filled with accusation and a hint of grievance.

This was… Du Qingshuo’s expression?

He was momentarily stunned, his heart skipping a beat.

Perhaps it was because it was late, there weren’t many customers in the restaurant, and the kitchen worked quickly. Soon, the server brought out the hot ginger-grilled meat set and the pork cutlet rice.

The crispy and tender pork cutlet was indeed a large portion, glistening with oil.

Jian Shuning happily picked up her chopsticks and made a gesture to start eating. “Itadakimasu!”

Hearing her say “I’m starting to eat” in Japanese, Zheng Yuanshi was momentarily distracted.

He ate while subtly observing the woman sitting across from him. She usually ate slowly and elegantly, but tonight, her eating speed had increased significantly.

Although she was eating faster, she was not rude. Instead, she seemed to be enjoying the food in front of her, savoring every bite.

Zheng Yuanshi felt he had seen someone eat like this before…

That’s right, it was that silly girl, Shuning!

Thinking about it, he smiled, but then he felt shocked.

What was he doing? How could he compare Du Qingshuo to that silly girl? They were worlds apart, how could they be compared?

He suddenly shook his head, as if to shake off the strange thoughts in his mind.

After finishing the entire portion of pork cutlet rice, Jian Shuning drank the soup, the rich miso flavor making her sigh in satisfaction.

Zheng Yuanshi smiled. “You seem to have a good appetite today.”

She was startled and quickly made an excuse for herself. “Um, maybe it’s because I haven’t eaten anything since I left the house until now, and I’m really hungry… Did I eat too much?”

It shouldn’t be, right? Jian Shuning silently cried in her heart. This was only half of her usual portion! If it weren’t for Du Qingshuo’s small stomach already feeling full, she would have ordered more grilled meat skewers!

Seeing her troubled expression, as if regretting eating too much, Zheng Yuanshi smiled and reassured her. “Not at all, this is a normal portion. In fact, you usually eat too little.”

“I’m afraid of getting fat,” Jian Shuning replied instinctively.

“You’re not fat at all!” Zheng Yuanshi said, looking at her warmly. “I think you’re actually a bit too thin. Gaining a little more weight would make you look even better.”

“Really?”

“Of course, but don’t get as fat as Shuning, haha.”

Zheng Yuanshi was joking, but he didn’t know that his words would make a woman react like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her clear eyes glaring fiercely, her expression instantly fierce.

“Shuning isn’t fat! She’s just… a bit plump, that’s all. Haven’t you heard the phrase ‘voluptuous beauty’?”

He had heard it, but…

“Why are you so angry?”

Jian Shuning was speechless and lowered her eyes, whispering, “I’m just… just standing up for her. Shuning isn’t really fat, she’s just a few kilograms over the standard weight.”

“Haha, she must have brainwashed you with this every day, right?” Zheng Yuanshi said teasingly.

So he didn’t really believe it?

Jian Shuning bit her lip, her eyelids drooping even lower, trying to hide the hurt in her eyes. “Do you really… think Shuning is… very fat?”

For some reason, Zheng Yuanshi felt he heard the fear and hesitation in her words, but why should she be afraid and hesitant for another woman?

If it were that silly girl asking the question herself, he would definitely mock her without hesitation, but since it was her asking…

Zheng Yuanshi smiled. “Actually, her figure is not bad.”

That means… Jian Shuning suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Zheng Yuanshi winked at her, putting his finger to his lips in a playful gesture, his lazy expression incredibly sexy.

“Don’t tell that girl, otherwise she’ll be too proud of herself and won’t listen to me and go swimming every day.”

So, her brother was just teasing her, and in his eyes, she wasn’t that terribly fat?

Jian Shuning felt her heart pounding excitedly in her chest.

It seemed that temporarily switching bodies with Qingshuo was actually a good thing! At least she could hear her brother’s true feelings like this.

Her brother didn’t dislike her.

Jian Shuning felt like singing, like dancing in the silver moonlight, doing all kinds of crazy and happy things.

“Earlier, when we were on the escalator, I saw a SEGA game center on the first floor,” she said softly, her eyes shining with a smile, her eyebrows curved.

“Yeah, I saw it too. What do you want to do?”

“Let’s go play!”

Sega Joypolis, known as the largest indoor amusement park in Japan, was filled with attractions related to anime and games, such as the “Initial D” that Jian Shuning eagerly searched for as soon as she entered.

“Found it!”

When she saw the familiar AE86, she couldn’t help but clap her hands in excitement.

“This is Initial D?” Zheng Yuanshi also recognized it. He remembered watching the anime with that silly girl when they were students. “Is this the game you were looking for?”

“Yes, racing!” Jian Shuning smiled happily. “Do you want to play?”

Of course, he wanted to play!

Zheng Yuanshi nodded without hesitation, but he couldn’t help feeling puzzled. This kind of anime game didn’t seem like something Du Qingshuo would be interested in.

“Do you also like watching Japanese anime?” he asked tentatively.

Jian Shuning was about to nod happily, but a flash of realization stopped her. “Um, actually, I just heard about it from a friend… like Shuning, she knows I often go to Japan on business trips and especially recommended this place to me.”

“I see. I didn’t expect you and Shuning to have such a good relationship. She even tells you about these things.”

“Why would it be nonsense?” Jian Shuning protested. “It’s actually very interesting!”

“Yes, it’s very interesting.” Zheng Yuanshi didn’t argue with her, just smiled faintly.
