Protagonist:

Lu Feng

"Is there something wrong with this person? Wearing a jacket in this scorching heat, isn't he afraid of getting prickly heat?"

Chen De'an, one of the three all-nighters at the internet cafe, stood behind An Liang, looking at his outfit of jacket and long pants, and silently complained in his heart.

Although it was only Thursday today, they had no classes tomorrow morning, so according to custom, they would go to the internet cafe for an all-nighter tonight.

The three of them hadn't eaten at Lu Feng's shop for a long time, mainly because they were all a bit short on money recently.

Earlier they had pulled all-nighters and eaten fried noodles at Lu Feng's shop consecutively, spending quite a bit, so this week they had to temporarily cut expenditure.

However, they heard in the group chat this afternoon that Lu Feng's shop was serving pig trotter noodles today, and the gluttons in their stomachs couldn't help but be tempted again.

After some discussion, they decided to grit their teeth and splurge once, sacrificing their instant noodle snacks for the all-nighter tonight, and come to Lu Feng's shop to eat once more.

After class, the three returned to the dormitory; Eldest Brother Sun Haoran said he needed to go to the toilet to take care of his metabolism, while Third Brother Zhao Yuxuan said he had a phone call to make, so they let Chen De'an go first, and the two of them would follow later.

Chen De'an arrived at Food Street and waited until the line in front of the shop door started to form, but Sun Haoran and Zhao Yuxuan still hadn't come.

He didn't know what these two were up to; it was almost business hours now, and he still hadn't seen their shadows in the line.

"What are these two up to? Why haven't they come yet?"

Chen De'an looked at the ever-lengthening line behind him, muttered, took out his mobile phone, and called Sun Haoran.

After two rings, someone picked up, and Sun Haoran's voice came from the other end: "Hello, Second Brother."

"The enemy army will reach the battlefield in five seconds, all troops attack……"

Chen De'an heard a familiar game sound over the phone, mixed with his roommate's talking, and immediately became angry and flustered.

Just from the voice, he knew Eldest Brother was still in the dormitory right now.

What was wrong with these two? They had agreed to come together, and now they were standing him up?

"Eldest Brother, what's wrong with you and Third Brother? Didn't you agree to come eat noodles? Why haven't you two set off yet? Boss Lu is about to start business here!"

Chen De'an, while tiptoeing to watch the movement at the shop door ahead, spoke into the microphone with an urgent tone.

"Sorry, Second Brother, I can't go."

Sun Haoran on the other end of the phone sighed, his voice somewhat helpless: "Just now I paid a hundred yuan phone bill, and there's not much left in WeChat; I still need to save some travel expenses to go home, so tonight I'll eat instant noodles in the dormitory."

Chen De'an expressed understanding; he knew this kind of predicament at the end of every month too well.

At the beginning of the month they ate takeout for every meal, but by the end of the month they ate instant noodles every day.

He still remembered that at the beginning of the month, Sun Haoran had just received his living expenses, and immediately bought a limited-edition skin in the game, showing it off crazily to his roommates.

Nowadays, even the leftover soup from instant noodles, Sun Haoran could pair with a steamed bun to make a meal.

Chen De'an shook his head helplessly and continued asking into the phone: "Fine, then what about Third Brother? When he said he wanted to eat pig trotter noodles tonight, wasn't he shouting quite loudly?"

"Third Brother……"

Sun Haoran on the other end of the phone jumped off the bed, wearing slippers and approaching the balcony, lowered his voice and said: "Listen for yourself."

Chen De'an plugged one ear with his finger, pressed the mobile phone tightly against his ear, and listened carefully to the movement on that end.

From the other end of the phone came Zhao Yuxuan's somewhat sickening voice: "Baby, don't be angry…… After the holiday I'll go find you, then I'll treat you to milk tea and a movie, okay? Come give me a kiss, mua mua mua……"

Zhao Yuxuan on the balcony wore a greasy smile, chatting enthusiastically with the female online friend on the other end of the phone, and while chatting, he was also pulling at the Green Radish on the balcony.

That pot of Green Radish didn't know what bad luck it had suffered; the leaves that had finally grown were now almost all pulled off by him.

"Damn……"

Chen De'an couldn't help but roll his eyes: "He's going to meet that online friend offline?"

"Who knows? I came back after taking a dump and saw him on the phone; they've been chatting for over half an hour now, looks like this kid won't be able to go for a while."

These two unreliable guys!

Chen De'an wanted to complain a couple more times, when suddenly he heard a pleasant female voice from the front of the line.

"Business hours have arrived, everyone line up properly, we'll order one by one in a moment!"

The diners in line cheered at once, and the line began to move forward slowly.

"You two are really unreliable, fine, I won't talk to you anymore, I'll go eat by myself."

Chen De'an hastily said into the mobile phone, intending to hang up.

"Second Brother, wait a moment."

Sun Haoran's voice suddenly became somewhat serious: "Put your hand on your heart and tell me, how have I usually treated you?"

Hearing Sun Haoran say this, Chen De'an knew he definitely had no good intentions, and said with a calm expression: "Average."

"You shameless guy! You forgot that last time after the all-nighter, you skipped class and slept in the dormitory, who covered for you?"

Sun Haoran's voice sounded somewhat aggrieved.

"Yes yes yes." Chen De'an rolled his eyes: "Then when you came back, you finished the cigarettes I had hidden for half a month; I usually can't even bear to smoke one myself."

"Saying that is being too polite; you forgot about that time……"

"Okay okay okay, you treat me the best, right? If there's something, say it quickly, I'm about to reach the front of the shop."

Chen De'an followed the line forward a few steps and interrupted Sun Haoran somewhat impatiently.

"I knew you, kid, are righteous!"

Sun Haoran hehe laughed twice, then said in a pitiful tone: "Second Brother, look, I haven't eaten a proper meal for several days now; I'm almost sick of eating instant noodles with steamed buns every day; can you pack some back for me later and let me taste a couple of bites?"

"What a joke?"

Chen Deming walked forward two more steps and said with an unwilling expression: "I'm not even sure I can eat enough for my own portion; if I bring some back to share with you, will I have to go hungry during my all-nighter tonight?"

"Second Brother, don't be so heartless!"

Hearing this, Sun Haoran grew anxious. His eyes rolled twice, as if he had made up his mind, and he gritted his teeth, saying: "How about this—I still have a coupon for a hamburger shop. When you come back later, I'll treat you to a hamburger. One hamburger for two bites of noodles. Isn't that a good deal?"

Sun Haoran felt some pain over it; he had originally planned to keep this coupon until the last day before the holiday to enjoy a good meal.

But in order to get two bites of Lu Boss's Pig Trotter Noodles, he had no choice but to reluctantly take it out as an exchange condition.

Chen De'an calculated in his mind.

The noodles in Lu Feng's shop were definitely delicious, but with his appetite, one portion wouldn't fill him up at all.

The hamburger was also tempting; when staying up all night at night, he could nibble a couple of bites when hungry, and if there were also a cup of Iced Cola, just thinking about it felt pretty good.

Two bites of noodles exchanged for rations for staying up all night at night—this deal was still quite a good one.

Although Sun Haoran could be a pain sometimes, as the Eldest Brother of the Dormitory, when it came to Key Moments, he was indeed quite Righteous.
