Lu Feng
The beauty who said she wanted to add him on WeChat blinked her eyes after hearing this; Chen De'an had just finished speaking when he immediately turned around and hurried out on his long legs.
The girl was wearing high heels, the heels looked to be seven centimeters, but her walking speed was not slow at all.
"Hey! Beauty, didn't you say you wanted to add WeChat?"
Chen De'an held up his mobile phone, shouting loudly at the girl's back.
But the other person acted as if she hadn't heard, jogged to the door, scanned a shared bicycle, and rode quickly toward Food Street.
"Shared bicycle! Whoever grabs it gets it!"
Someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone else immediately reacted, rushing out like a tide.
The shared bicycles parked outside the hamburger shop became the object of everyone's scramble, and in no time they were all ridden away.
Many others, after leaving the hamburger shop, ran toward Food Street at sprinting speed.
In a short while, the customers who had originally filled the hamburger shop had all run off, leaving it completely empty.
The shop manager stood behind the counter, looking at the empty shop; after hesitating for two seconds, he patted the waiter's shoulder: "Xiao Wang, watch the place for me, I'll go out for a bit and be right back!"
The waiter Xiao Wang opened his mouth, but before she could answer, the manager's figure had already disappeared at the door.
Chen De'an was frightened by this scene; he hadn't expected this group of people to be so impatient.
When he came to his senses and turned to look at Sun Haoran opposite him, he suddenly discovered that the noodles in the takeout box were already half gone.
Sun Haoran held the takeout box, the chopsticks in his hand shoveling noodles into his mouth quickly; brown soup dripped from the corner of his mouth onto his undershirt.
"Damn! We agreed you'd only eat two bites, and you're almost eating half! Stop eating!"
Chen De'an immediately got anxious, stood up, and reached out to snatch the takeout box back from Sun Haoran's hand.
"Second Brother! Let me eat one more bite, just one bite!"
The noodles in Sun Haoran's mouth hadn't been swallowed yet; afraid that speaking would make the noodles fall out of his mouth, the chopsticks in his hand still wanted to reach into the takeout box.
"No, you've already eaten half! I don't even have enough for myself!"
Chen De'an held the takeout box tightly under him; no matter what Sun Haoran said, he wouldn't let out another bite.
Seeing that saying anything was useless, Sun Haoran sighed helplessly, licking the sauce at the corner of his mouth with lingering desire.
Chen De'an looked into the takeout box with heartache, and immediately became furious.
Not only were the noodles reduced to half, but even the pig trotters were left with only four pieces.
"Eldest Brother! You've gone too far..."
Chen De'an glared at Sun Haoran opposite him angrily, his face twitching with heartache.
"Uh... this Pig Trotter Noodles is too delicious, I couldn't help myself for a moment..."
Sun Haoran scratched his head embarrassedly, reached out and pushed the hamburger and cola in front of him toward Chen De'an: "Don't be angry anymore, I'll give you the hamburger and cola."
Chen De'an still stared at him fixedly, that gaze as if he wanted to eat him, making Sun Haoran feel a bit nervous inside.
"If it really doesn't work... next semester I'll treat you to two meals at Lu Boss's place, is that okay?"
Sun Haoran shrank back, gave two dry laughs, and said cautiously.
"You still have a bit of conscience."
Chen De'an snorted from his nose, and only then did his heart feel slightly balanced.
He then picked up his chopsticks and began eating the remaining Pig Trotter Noodles in big mouthfuls.
"Second Brother, after you finish the rest of the noodle soup, let me drink two sips?"
Sun Haoran leaned forward, his eyes fixed on the takeout box in Chen De'an's hand, saying with a face full of flattery.
Can't eat noodles, can I drink some noodle soup at least?
"No way!"
Chen De'an slurped noodles, raised his middle finger at Sun Haoran, and refused somewhat cruelly: "The remaining soup I want to take back; later I'll buy a portion of rice at the cafeteria and eat it as soaked rice!"
This Pig Trotter Noodles is so delicious that even the remaining soup can be eaten with three big bowls of rice.
Chen De'an ate the noodles and pig trotters in the bowl clean in a few mouthfuls, then carefully covered the lid, afraid that a single drop would spill on the way back.
"So stingy."
Sun Haoran looked at Chen De'an resentfully, pouted, his gaze still fixed on the soup left in the takeout box.
Chen De'an asked the waiter for a super large bag and put all the hamburgers, colas, and such piled on the table into it.
With so much supplies, he definitely wouldn't go hungry pulling an all-nighter tonight.
The two left the hamburger shop; half an hour later, the hamburger shop's glass door was pushed open.
The pretty girl who had asked Chen De'an for his WeChat earlier pushed the door and walked in, still carrying a takeout box in her hand.
Her bangs on her forehead were wet with sweat, but her face showed some excitement.
The girl walked to the seat she had sat at before; the hamburger and fries she had left on the table were not finished, but she pushed them aside disdainfully, then with a clatter lifted the lid of the takeout box.
Inside the takeout box was a portion of Mushroom Stewed Chicken Noodles, steaming slightly.
"Great, fortunately I went in time, I finally managed to buy it."
The girl picked up her chopsticks with satisfaction, carefully picking up noodles to eat, and let out satisfied exclamations of praise while eating.
When she went, the Pig Trotter Noodles had already sold out, so she could only choose Mushroom Stewed Chicken Noodles.
But as soon as the noodles entered her mouth, she kept nodding; the taste of this Mushroom Stewed Chicken Noodles also made her feel incredibly delicious.
Not long after the girl sat down, those customers came back one after another.
Their hands, without exception, all held the same takeout box.
Everyone, familiar with the routine, returned to their previous seats; as the takeout boxes were opened one after another, the hamburger shop was suddenly filled with all sorts of fragrances, and the original fried chicken smell was completely masked.
For a moment, in the small hamburger shop, everywhere was the slurping sound of noodles.
A girl who hadn't eaten dinner yet pushed open the door and walked in, intending to buy a hamburger for dinner.
But as soon as she stepped into the shop door, she froze in place.
Everyone in the room was hunched over, picking at the noodles in their takeout boxes, each eating with great relish.
Rich meat fragrance wafted through the hamburger shop; the staff member stood behind the counter, looking helplessly at those customers eating noodles in big mouthfuls.
"Did I come to the wrong place?"
The girl muttered as she retreated out the door, looked at the sign above the shop, and immediately looked confused: "No, this is a hamburger shop!"
She looked again at those noodle-eating customers in the shop and was completely bewildered.
"Why... are they all eating noodles?"
At seven in the evening, as Hu Xiaoyun announced that business for the day was over, the diners still in the queue left with great regret, looking back at every step.
Li Hong'an, sitting at the barbecue stall opposite Lu Feng, heard the diners' commotion and immediately raised his head: "Good grief, it's finally over."
He was the boss of a restaurant; if not to treat Lu Feng, he would rather be comfortably blowing the air conditioner in his office right now—how could he possibly stand queuing?
Li Hong'an had stood in the queue for only a few minutes when he felt his back ache and waist hurt; seeing Lu Feng's stall across the way, he had a sudden inspiration, simply ran over, ordered a few skewers of grilled meat at random, and while eating, kept an eye on the commotion at Lu Feng's shop.
Queue? Queue my ass!
I'm not here to eat!
Li Hong'an gulped down the last mouthful of beer from the bottle, let out a loud belch, stood up, and, carrying a gift bag, strode toward Lu Feng's shop.
Inside the shop, Lu Feng carried two bowls of noodles out of the kitchen, just about to have the employee meal with Hu Xiaoyun.
"Lu Feng, do you still remember me? I've been waiting for you for a long time; shall we chat?"
Li Hong'an walked into the shop, holding up the gift bag in his hand, the flab on his face bunching together as he put on an enthusiastic smile.
