Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Yan Qianqian was so angry she laughed; she really hadn't expected this man to have such an interesting side. The slight displeasure in her heart vanished completely at that moment.

Not long after, the shop assistant came over carrying steaming hot noodles.

He saw a man sitting beside Qianqian, was first stunned, then gently placed the noodles on the table and said to Qianqian, "Miss, please enjoy your meal."

Qianqian smiled and replied, "Thank you."

The shop assistant's gaze swept back and forth between Qianqian and Ouyang Chengren, then he showed an ambiguous smile and said to Qianqian, "Miss, you and this Young Master are truly a talented woman and a handsome man; good-looking people really do like to play with good-looking people."

Ouyang Chengren, upon hearing this, was instantly delighted, and immediately said to the shop assistant with a beaming face, "Xiao Er, bring me another plate of cold appetizers, a plate of beef!"

The shop assistant saw that after he casually praised them, this Young Master ordered two more dishes, and the smile on his face became even more brilliant. He hurriedly said, "Alright, Young Master, Miss, please wait a moment, I'll go prepare it for you right away." After saying this, he turned and left in quick steps.

Qianqian didn't take the shop assistant's words to heart; she just ate her noodles slowly and leisurely by herself.

And Ouyang Chengren, having already eaten more than half a bowl of noodles, wasn't in a hurry either, but leisurely watched Qianqian eat.

Only saw Qianqian elegantly pick up that pair of black chopsticks; those hands, set off by the black chopsticks, appeared even more fair and slender, like Yuzhi Bai Yu.

In this bustling noodle shop, the sounds of people eating noodles rose and fell one after another; some "gulu gulu" gulped down big mouthfuls, while others "xilu xilu" chewed slowly and carefully.

However, Qianqian was different from everyone else; her movements appeared especially elegant.

Only saw her unhurriedly pick up a noodle with chopsticks, carefully put it into her mouth, then chew gently; the whole process made not a single sound.

Although her way of eating was slow and leisurely, it had no sense of affectation, as if she had always eaten like this.

Ouyang Chengren, sitting opposite her, was attracted by her way of eating and couldn't help but look a few more times.

But Qianqian silently cursed in her heart: "What's so interesting about someone eating noodles? I'm exhausted from pretending!"

Although she kept cursing in her heart, her surface still maintained a dignified and gentle image, not showing a bit of impatience.

Not long after, the shop assistant came over carrying two plates of dishes.

One plate was cold cucumber salad; the emerald green cucumbers paired with red chili peppers made one's appetite increase just looking at them;

the other plate was soy-braised beef; the beef was cut evenly in thickness, with a tempting sauce drizzled on top.

The shop assistant placed the cold appetizers in front of Ouyang Chengren, and put the beef in front of Qianqian.

Qianqian's eyes stared fixedly at that plate of beef, and her heart was itching like a cat scratching.

She really wanted to eat meat too much, but after all she still had to maintain her persona, so she could only endure it, continuing to bury her head in eating the noodles in her bowl, not daring to look at that plate of beef even once.

Just then, Ouyang Chengren suddenly picked up the public chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef, and put it into Qianqian's bowl, smiling and saying, "Miss Qianqian, try this beef; you're too thin, you should eat more meat."

Qianqian couldn't help but retort in her heart: "If you could make the Jun Ying's food better, I wouldn't be this thin!"

However, she of course wouldn't say what was in her heart out loud, but with a smile on her face, she softly said, "Thank you, Young Master Ouyang; this beef indeed looks very delicious."

After saying this, she elegantly picked up that piece of beef and put it into her mouth.

However, although she had retorted in her heart for a long time, Qianqian's face still showed a grateful look, and she softly said, "Thank you, Young Master."

Next, she used chopsticks to pick up a piece of beef, put it into her mouth and chewed slowly. With the chewing motion, her cheeks puffed up and down, looking actually quite cute.

Ouyang Chengren, seeing this, couldn't help but be delighted; seeing Qianqian hadn't refused, he then casually gave Qianqian two more pieces of beef, and specially picked a few pieces of fresh and tender cucumber to put in her bowl.

Qianqian still didn't refuse, but instead ate with relish, seeming quite satisfied with these foods.

Ouyang Chengren, seeing this, became even more delighted, and even more happily kept giving Qianqian food.

Although Qianqian had already eaten almost enough, Ouyang Chengren seemed addicted to giving her food, and still kept putting food into her bowl without stopping. Qianqian finally couldn't help it, and opened her mouth to say, "I'm full; why don't you eat?"

Ouyang Chengren smiled and replied, "You eat first; I'll eat after you're full."

Qianqian looked at Ouyang Chengren's "worthless" appearance, and for a moment was speechless. However, she thought again: he had just given her so many dishes; if she finished eating and left, it wouldn't be very good, so she'd better wait for him.

So, Qianqian quietly sat at one side, watching Ouyang Chengren eat.

As expected, Ouyang Chengren, being from a military background, was extremely neat and efficient when eating.

Only saw him sweep away the noodles like wind sweeping away clouds, not a single strand left, and even drank the soup clean; finally, the remaining cucumber and beef were also "cleaned up" spotlessly by him.

Seeing Ouyang Chengren finished eating, Qianqian elegantly stood up, preparing to go to the counter to pay.

However, Ouyang Chengren's movement was faster than hers; he quickly stood up, stopped Qianqian, and said with a smile, "Let me pay." After saying this, he went to the counter and settled both their meal fees together.

After going out, Qianqian felt a bit embarrassed. So, she took out money from her pocket, wanting to return it to Ouyang Chengren.

But Ouyang Chengren waved his hand and gently said, "No need; this meal is my treat for you." Qianqian, seeing this, couldn't insist anymore, and could only take the money back.

At this time, night had already fallen, and the lights were just lit; the lights on both sides of the street shone upon each other, forming a scene of myriad colors.

Ouyang Chengren looked at Qianqian and suddenly proposed, "Shall we stroll together?" Qianqian hesitated a little, but finally nodded, indicating agreement.

The two walked side by side on the street, as if the whole world had only the two of them.

The flower lanterns on both sides of the street were Wuse liuliang and beautiful beyond compare, making one intoxicated. And Ouyang Chengren and Qianqian were like immortals walking out of a painting; their silhouettes, set off by the lights, appeared especially exquisite and good-looking.
