Chapter 1760: The Most Unforgettable Noodles

Zirui made a bitter face, looking at the noodles and wanting to run away immediately.

From childhood to adulthood, besides keeping her appearance very young, his mother's cooking skills had also remained at a youthful level; her cooking was still just as terrible, and calling it "dark cuisine" would be being polite.

Are these noodles even edible?

How did his mother manage to boil noodles until they looked pitch black?

Before he could even ask, his mother saw the doubt in his heart and took the initiative to explain: "I added two spoonfuls of black sesame paste to the soup; you like eating that, don't you?"

Zirui:...

He was speechless once again.

That was true, he did like eating black sesame.

He liked mooncakes with black sesame filling, sweet dumplings, and black sesame paste, but were noodles boiled in black sesame paste edible?

He leaned in for a closer look—my god, there was meat too?

Shi Youxuan greeted her son with great interest: "Don't just stand there, hurry up and eat while it's hot; I even put in the lamb chops you like."

There was lamb, no wonder the smell was so strange.

"Mom, I'm not hungry!" Zirui said with a bitter face.

"Not hungry... then wait until you're hungry to eat; you can't leave the house until you finish it!"

Sheng Zirui:...

He seriously suspected that his mother calling him back wasn't because she missed him, but because she wanted to take revenge on him.

Didn't she have any idea how terrible her cooking was?

But his mother's gaze was so sincere, so sincere that he couldn't bear to refuse.

Forget it, it's just a bowl of noodles, how much worse could it get?

This was his mother's love, he had to accept it.

He picked up his chopsticks and lifted two strands of noodles; they were straight—they weren't cooked through.

He put them in his mouth and sure enough, they weren't cooked; the gamey smell of the lamb and the sweet fragrance of the black sesame paste blended together, along with the taste of salt, just like the many flavors of life—it had every kind of taste.

Zirui almost vomited.

Shi Youxuan noticed from the side and urged: "Don't you dare vomit; I went to such trouble to cook this, you have to eat it all."

"Mom, I'll just take a bite to show I tried, I'm not hungry..."

"Oh, you're not hungry... then fine, leave it there..."

Before he could be happy, his mother added: "Wait until you're hungry to eat it; anyway, if you don't finish this bowl of noodles today, don't even think about stepping out of the house." She emphasized it once more.

Sheng Zirui:...

He finished it while practically pinching his nose.

Finally finished, but before he could be happy, he felt nauseous; no, he couldn't hold it in, and Zirui immediately rushed into the bathroom.

His grandmother Wang Yinghao walked over tremblingly, blaming her daughter-in-law with a pained heart: "Your heart is too cruel; he is a piece of flesh that fell from your own body, how could you bear to treat the child like this."

Shi Youxuan was unconvinced and talked back to her mother-in-law: "When a son goes on a long journey, don't all mothers have to cook a bowl of noodles by hand? I am doing what a loving mother should do."

"Hmph! That sounds nice, but could you eat your own noodles?"

"I don't eat them." The daughter-in-law answered very readily.

She comforted her mother-in-law: "It's fine, I'm just giving him a small punishment to teach him a lesson, letting him suffer a little bit."

"In the future, when he is out on his own, there will be plenty of suffering to endure; what is this little bit of suffering? Just treat it as experiencing life in advance."

Zirui came out of the bathroom, his expression returned to normal.

Shi Youxuan lovingly touched her son's head and asked: "Did you vomit it all up? Your lunch was for nothing, how about I make you another bowl?"

"No need, no need, thank you Mom, I just remembered I have a lot of things to do, I'm heading back now." Zirui practically fled in a panic.

"Have a safe trip, my son."

Shi Youxuan sent her son out the door, and after returning, she went straight to open the first-floor storage room and said to the inside: "Come out, don't hold it in anymore."

Sheng Hanyu came out from inside, and the rest of the family realized he hadn't gone to work at all, but had been at home the whole time.

Shi Youxuan curled her lips in disdain and scolded her husband: "Hard-mouthed but soft-hearted, you're the one who ends up suffering; why must you be so stubborn with your son?"

"Who is being stubborn with him? I wanted to stay in a different room, is that not allowed?"

"But that bowl of noodles you made was not bad," the husband praised.

"Shall I make you a bowl too?"

"No need, no need, thank you!" Sheng Hanyu hurriedly made an excuse that he still had things to do at the company and rushed out the door to work.

He walked very fast, afraid that if he were any slower, he would also be forced by his wife to eat the food she cooked.

"Hmph! Stubborn pride leads to suffering." Shi Youxuan said, looking at her husband's back.

She insisted on Zirui coming home, mainly to let her husband see his son.

Anyone else could go to the school to see him openly, but only he couldn't!

Both father and son were putting on airs, they had the same temperament, and neither would be the first to soften.

Country A.

A girl wearing a white dress and a high ponytail blocked the path of a delivery boy: "Stop delivering food, date me instead; I'll cover all your expenses, and I can even give you a sum of money."

The boy frowned and refused: "Not interested, move aside!"

The girl didn't expect to be rejected and said angrily: "What are you acting so high and mighty for? You're just a poor delivery boy; it's your good fortune that I took a liking to you, you know?"

The boy didn't want to waste words with her and tried to go around.

The delivery time was almost up, and if he were late, his pay would be docked; of course, that wasn't the important part, what was important was that he couldn't be late—this was his requirement for himself; no matter what job he did, he had to be the most outstanding.

But the girl was relentless and blocked him again: "Hey, Sheng Zirui, do you have a problem? It's not like I don't have people chasing me; there are many boys who like me. I like you, and instead of being overwhelmed with gratitude and kneeling before me to thank me, you actually dare to reject me? Do you believe I can make it so you can't continue your studies at this school?"

"Whatever."

Zirui could not be bothered to waste more words on her, and he walked around her again.

The girl stomped her feet in anger and shouted behind him, "You just wait, you will definitely regret this!"

The girl was named Alice, also an international student, who acted like a princess just because her family had a little money.

She was incredibly arrogant every day, thinking that all the boys in the world should like her.

She was quite good-looking, and she was generous with her money, so she was always followed by a few sycophants who chased after her and fawned over her.

Just then, Zirui arrived in Alice's class as an exchange student, and Alice... the girls in the whole class, all had their eyes light up!

This boy is so handsome.

He was handsome, and he carried himself with an extraordinary and distinguished air; at first, everyone thought he was a rich young master, but after a few days, they discovered the new student was working a part-time job, doing odd jobs in the Cafeteria and delivering food.

Such a handsome boy delivering food was a beautiful sight on campus.

But in Alice's eyes, Zirui delivering food was a waste of talent; she wanted to keep him as a kept man, but she was rejected!

Alice was furious; he actually dared to reject her, so it seemed this poor boy did not want to stay in school anymore.

She hated Sheng Zirui in her heart and prepared to teach him a lesson, to let him know that rejecting her came with a price.

Her father had some friendship with the school's dean of students, so she went to find the dean of students, lied that Sheng Zirui had bullied her, and asked the dean of students to kick this poor boy out of school!
