After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved-Chapter 354 Aren’t You Left-Handed?

——Huo Yu told Lu Sheng that she looked very beautiful tonight.

Upon hearing Huo Yu’s words, Lu Sheng’s first reaction wasn’t pleasure from being complimented or expressing gratitude to him.

Instead, she subconsciously found it very strange.

Not that the statement itself was strange, but that these words coming from Huo Yu felt strange.

Huo Yu is a man of few words.

Unlike Lu Youming’s aloofness, he is genuinely reticent.

Not just in class, but even when hanging out with friends, he mostly adopts the stance of a listener and speaks up only when necessary.

Lu Sheng seldom sees Huo Yu voluntarily express his thoughts or emotions. Or rather, as someone not expressive with emotions, he is actually not good at doing so.

So, Lu Sheng gave Huo Yu a look.

Tonight, he also seemed somewhat different from usual.

Huo Yu dressed in his usual simple and modest style, and carried a low-profile, calm demeanor.

For example, the first time Lu Sheng saw him at Shengjing, he just wore a somewhat old but clean and neatly ironed shirt, his gaze isolated and indifferent amidst the crowd.

However, today, attending the party, he looked dressed quite formally.

A white shirt paired with a well-tailored black pinstripe suit, outlined narrow waist and long legs, embellishing his slightly lean figure just right.

The usual fringe at the front was combed up, revealing attractive eyebrows and eyes. But those eyes, usually calm, now held a hidden sparkle like obsidian, corners slightly lifted.

In those deep eyes, there seemed to flow a playful, unmasked yet indistinct emotion.

Compared to the usually restrained and silent vibes, tonight’s Huo Yu had a bit more brilliance and a noble-like gentlemanly elegance.

Very handsome, but for some reason, this subtle shift in demeanor made Lu Sheng feel a bit alien.

So, Lu Sheng paused for a moment, then clinked her glass filled with cola against Huo Yu’s, and said, "Thank you, you look very handsome today too."

Not just Lu Sheng felt a bit surprised, Lan Yu evidently felt the same.

With a somewhat exaggerated tone, she exclaimed: "Wow, even Huo Yu is giving compliments, Shengsheng, you really look super beautiful tonight!"

"But I also think, Huo Yu looks a bit more handsome today. From where he’s standing, several girls from our class have been sneaking peeks over here."

Huo Yu rarely curled his lips.

With a slight smile, his gaze only on Lu Sheng, he gently clinked his glass against Lu Sheng’s again.

"Then, I thank you too."

Han Jing was somewhat late today; as soon as he entered the venue, he started bickering and joking with Lan Yu, the two always behaving like comically quarrelsome friends.

Lu Youming and Lu Youye were originally accompanying Lu Sheng, or rather, they only wanted to be by their sister’s side.

But perhaps because it was a party hosted by the Lu Family, the usually dazzling twin brothers of the Lu Family didn’t seem so distant anymore; from time to time, people came over to talk to them, and out of politeness, they couldn’t ignore them.

Thus, only Huo Yu and Lu Sheng seemed leisurely; Huo Yu took the initiative to ask Lu Sheng if she would like to get some food together.

Lu Sheng was a bit hungry, so she nodded and agreed.

The two of them went together to the buffet table to get food, then took their plates and sat down at a table in the quiet corner of the bustling venue.

Lu Sheng had a medium-rare steak that was just freshly pan-fried by the chef, and Huo Yu had the same.

Jiang Ting had specially invited an international chef for the Western meal part of the party.

The chef’s skills were indeed as good as reputed; the thick-cut steaks sizzled with inviting color and oil, and poking it with a fork, you could feel the fullness of the meat.

Lu Sheng took a bite, and the soft, juicy beef mixed with the aroma of butter and rosemary exploded between her lips and teeth—indeed very delicious.

Huo Yu also cut a piece of steak and forked it into his mouth.

However, watching Huo Yu chew and taste methodically, Lu Sheng suddenly paused her actions and slightly frowned almost imperceptibly.

"...Huo Yu," Lu Sheng suddenly called out.

"Hmm?" Huo Yu looked up, seeming puzzled. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

"When did you start using your right hand to hold the knife,"

Lu Sheng’s gaze was fixed on the dining knife in Huo Yu’s hand, "Aren’t you left-handed?"

Indeed, the standard way of holding a knife in Western dining is with the right hand.

Previously, during a meal out with Huo Yu and Lan Yu, Lu Sheng noticed Huo Yu holding the knife in his left and the fork in his right, finding it awkward, and had specifically asked him about it.

At that time, Huo Yu said he was left-handed, so using his right hand was not smooth. Thus, Lu Sheng told him to use whichever hand felt more comfortable, as it didn’t matter among friends.

Lan Yu was even more straightforward; she disliked the sound of the knife and fork scraping against the plate, so she simply asked the waiter to bring chopsticks.

Having previously discussed this, why was he now using his right hand to hold the knife?

In the past six months, Huo Yu had greatly helped Lu Sheng several times, yet he never asked for anything in return.

Lu Sheng always remembered the kindness of others, big or small, so in her heart, she regarded Huo Yu as her most trusted friend.

One could say that Huo Yu was the person she was most unguarded with, aside from Muchen and her family.

But today’s Huo Yu, indescribably, made her feel somewhat abnormal.

Huo Yu, hearing Lu Sheng’s question, also seemed to pause for a moment, looking at her somewhat unexpectedly.

"I’ve been training recently to eat and work with my right hand, so I started holding the knife with it, why do you ask?"

This kind of explanation seemed to have no problem.

If one could train their non-dominant hand to be as skilled as their dominant hand, that would certainly be a great thing.

Lu Sheng felt she was overthinking, so she shook her head: "Nothing, I was just worried you might not be used to using your right hand."

"It’s fine," Huo Yu picked up the knife and fork, cut another piece of steak like before, and forked it to indicate to Lu Sheng, "Look, doesn’t it seem much improved from before."

"That’s true." The trace of anomaly in her heart dissipated, and Lu Sheng also relaxed.

It had already gotten dark, with stars reflected in the night sky. Yet, inside the Lu Mansion, the lights were still dazzlingly bright.

No sooner had they finished eating when Lan Yu came over: "Why are you two here, I’ve been looking for you for a long time."

"Looking for us for what?" Lu Sheng looked at Lan Yu, "Have you eaten?"

"Yes, I’ve eaten. I just had four cream puffs," Lan Yu answered nonchalantly, then said to Lu Sheng, "Everyone has gone inside; lots of people are in the living room waiting for you, saying they want to play games with you, come with Huo Yu."

"Games?" Lu Sheng raised her eyes, "What game?"
