Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Lin Meimei instantly perked up, leaping from bed with a "whoosh," running to the door in her slippers and pressing her nose to sniff nonstop: "So fragrant! This taste... is it made by Lu Boss?"

Her voice wasn't low, and the four other girls chatting in bed instantly fell silent, all turning to look at the door.

"Yeah, the steamed buns Boss just made; I brought them back as a late-night snack."

Hu Xiaoyun put the takeout box on the dormitory table, seeing Lin Meimei staring fixedly at the box, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Want some? It's still hot!"

"Xiao Yun, I knew you were the best to me!"

Lin Meimei's eyes lit up with a "swish," she hugged Hu Xiaoyun in one go, saying excitedly: "I went too late today and didn't get in line before Lu Boss closed up, I've been feeling down about it!"

Hu Xiaoyun was amused by her, her gaze sweeping over the other four girls on the beds, hesitating for a moment in her heart.

She knew those few girls had been dieting for two weeks, eating only vegetables and fruit at every meal, not a bit of staple food.

If she and Lin Meimei ate in the dormitory later, that smell would be quite torture for those few.

After all, Boss's culinary skill was something no one could resist.

"How about... we go eat on the balcony?"

Hu Xiaoyun pointed toward the balcony, suggesting softly: "It's so late; eating in the dormitory, the smell is too strong, not good for disturbing others."

"It's fine, Xiao Yun, you all eat." One girl peeled off her face mask, smiling as she said.

"The balcony is pitch black; you all eat inside the room, I can hold out." Another girl also said.

The other two girls also expressed they didn't mind.

Since Hu Xiaoyun started working part-time at Lu Feng's Shop, her personality had become much more open, and her relationship with her roommates in the dormitory had become much more harmonious.

With the school holiday approaching, the few of them had agreed to diet together for this period so they could go home looking beautiful.

Although this process was extremely painful, for their figures, they gritted their teeth and persisted for two weeks.

Now they had trained their willpower to the point where they could watch others eat fragrant delicious food while calmly chewing cucumbers with a composed look.

"Hehe, then I won't be polite."

Lin Meimei gave a mischievous laugh, then lifted the lid of the takeout box.

In an instant, the aroma of the steamed buns was like a devil unsealed.

Instantly spreading the alluring taste to every corner of the dormitory.

The moment the fragrance spread, those few girls who had been lying in bed with composed looks slowly sat up.

This steamed bun's fragrance... is too shameless, right?

Fragrant to an unreasonable degree!

Who can stand this?

"Gulp!"

The four girls swallowed the saliva constantly secreting in their mouths, feeling their reason being ground bit by bit into crumbs by this fragrance.

"This taste... is a bit too fragrant, right?"

"Done for, done for! I feel so hungry right now!"

"No... I have to hold out, I have to diet... I want to eat so badly!"

The girls' brains crazily tried to stop the thought of wanting to eat deep in their hearts, but the fragrance in their noses was like an alluring big hand, causing their bodies to lean toward the source of the aroma.

Lin Meimei couldn't wait any longer; there were no outsiders in the dormitory now, and she didn't care about any ladylike image.

As soon as the box opened, she didn't bother with chopsticks, directly pinching one and stuffing it into her mouth to eat.

"Oh my god! So happy!"

Taking a bite, Lin Meimei's eyes widened, her mouth puffed out, holding the steamed bun and calling out indistinctly.

Having not tasted Lu Feng's culinary skill for several days, she suddenly ate it now.

She felt her life had no regrets.

Hu Xiaoyun looked at her puffed cheeks, like a hamster, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, using chopsticks to pick up a steamed bun and eat slowly.

Slurp!

Suddenly a few strange sounds sounded in the dormitory, Hu Xiaoyun looked over with a puzzled face.

The other four girls stretched their necks very long, four pairs of eyes staring fixedly at them, saliva flowing down from the corners of their mouths.

"You... do you want to taste some too?"

Hu Xiaoyun looked at their appearance of drooling from being tempted by the food, pushed the takeout box toward the middle of the table, and tentatively asked.

Letting these few dieting girls eat steamed buns late at night.

Hu Xiaoyun felt a bit of guilt in her heart.

She had seen with her own eyes how hard those few had worked to diet these two weeks.

But now seeing them all tempted into this state, if she turned a blind eye, it would also be a bit too unjustifiable.

The girl closest by couldn't hold out first, jumping down from the bed, licking her lips: "Xiao Yun, let me taste half... no, one quarter, okay?"

Just a small bite, shouldn't have much effect on dieting, right?

Such a tiny bit of calories, running one more lap on the playground tomorrow would burn it off.

"Sure!"

Hu Xiaoyun smiled and handed her a pair of chopsticks.

With the first one unable to hold out, naturally there would be a second one.

The other three girls also jumped down from their beds one after another, crowding over this way.

"Aren't you all trying to lose weight?"

Seeing them all crowd over, Lin Meimei kindly reminded them: "Let me give you a piece of advice, if you want to lose weight, it's best not to eat even a single bite..."

Her words carried the tone of someone who had been there.

She had once also been one of those determined to lose weight, vowing to lose ten jin in a month.

But ever since she stepped into Lu Feng's shop, the gears of fate began to turn.

The scale she used to weigh herself several times a day had long since been thrown under the bed to gather dust.

"It's fine, we'll just eat one tiny bite."

The other girls swallowed their saliva, not caring about her warning in the slightest.

Hehe...

Lin Meimei silently shook her head, smiling contemptuously in her heart.

You girls know nothing of Lu Boss's culinary skill.

Lu Boss's culinary skill, no one can withstand it.

She could already foresee what was about to happen, so she sped up the chewing movements in her mouth.

Taking advantage of the moment before they reacted, she would eat one more for every one she could.

The four girls divided one xiaolongbao into four portions, each using chopsticks to pick it up in turn, carefully placing it into their mouths.

A few seconds later, several cries of surprise rang out from the dormitory.

"Oh my god! I've never eaten such delicious xiaolongbao!"

"Wah... my weight loss plan... forget it! I still want to eat!"

"Xiao Yun, bringing such delicious food back in the middle of the night, your heart can be condemned! But... if you give me another one, I'll forgive you!"

"This old lady isn't losing weight anymore! Such delicious food, if I missed it, I'd simply be a sinner! Xiao Yun, give me another one!"

After the four girls tasted the flavor of the xiaolongbao, they instantly lost the reserve they had just now.

Lose weight?

If they don't eat a few more, where will they get the strength to lose weight!

They all rushed at Lin Meimei and Hu Xiaoyun like they had lost their minds, holding chopsticks in their hands, pouncing over crazily.

That appearance was no different from the zombies in movies seeing living people.

"You... you all calm down, don't come over!"

Lin Meimei's face was full of nervousness, she hugged the xiaolongbao on the table behind her, trying to awaken their reason.

But no one listened to her at all.
