Protagonist:

Lu Feng

The next second, the man couldn't help but let out an "Mm," his eyes instantly lighting up.

The fried noodles in his mouth hadn't even been swallowed yet when he couldn't help but pick up another large mouthful, stuffing his cheeks full.

"Holy cow! Wife! These fried noodles... are kinda delicious! Try a bite!"

The man spoke with fried noodles still in his mouth, his words somewhat muffled and unclear.

He himself didn't notice at all, his mind filled entirely with surprise at the taste of the fried noodles.

The woman was eating scallops from her plate; hearing the man's words, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, a doubtful expression appearing on her face.

She was the family's housewife; a home staple like fried noodles, she had made many times before.

From control of the heat to seasoning of the flavor, she considered herself already quite proficient.

The taste of fried noodles, no matter how you make it, is just that; she didn't believe the fried noodles in this buffet restaurant could be anything special.

The woman originally wanted to refuse, but couldn't withstand her husband's excited recommendation.

She took the chopsticks the man handed over, picked up a small bite, and put it in her mouth.

The moment the fried noodles entered her mouth, the woman's eyes suddenly widened, her originally casual expression instantly turning into disbelief.

These two truly are a married couple; their shocked expressions look exactly the same.

"No, these fried noodles aren't just 'kinda delicious,' they're simply super delicious!"

The woman's voice couldn't help but rise a few notches, her eyes shining brightly as she stared at the fried noodles on the plate.

Her mind rapidly compared the fried noodles before her with the ones she usually made.

These fried noodles before her had flavor grasped to perfection, and the mouthfeel upon entry could be called perfect.

Compared to these fried noodles, the ones she usually made couldn't even be shown in public.

"Truly worthy of a high-end restaurant! Even the fried noodles are made this delicious; I feel they're even tastier than the seafood!"

The woman couldn't help but exclaim in admiration; just as she wanted to taste another bite, she lowered her head and froze.

The man was holding the plate, his head buried in it, the chopsticks in his hand shoveling rapidly.

By the time he put the plate down, not a single strand of fried noodles remained in it, not even a piece of green onion was left.

The woman instantly became displeased, her eyebrows shooting up immediately as she reached out and smacked the man's arm.

"How can you be like this? Not leaving me a single bit? I only had one bite!"

Her tone was full of blame; that one bite of fried noodles just now simply hadn't been savored enough.

That one bite of fried noodles had now completely hooked all the glutton worms in her belly; the seafood on the table didn't look that tempting anymore at this moment.

The man shrank his neck, touched his head, and smiled apologetically: "Sorry, wife, these fried noodles are really too delicious, I couldn't hold back for a moment... you wait, I'll go get another portion!"

Speaking, he hurriedly stood up, striding quickly toward the Main Food Area.

But before long, the man returned dejectedly, his face carrying deep regret.

Seeing him empty-handed, the woman couldn't help but ask anxiously: "Where's the fried noodles? Could it be sold out already?"

After tasting the fried noodles' flavor, she subconsciously assumed that such delicious fried noodles would definitely have many people scrambling for them, estimating they were probably gone by now.

"Wife, that chef making the fried noodles said the ingredients prepared weren't enough, each person can only take one portion."

The man explained with a bitter face.

Just now at the Main Food Area he had persuaded with all kinds of words, but Lu Feng never relented.

Hearing this, the woman didn't say another word and stood up, stepping in high heels as she walked briskly toward the Main Food Area.

The man's eyes suddenly lit up!

Right, his own portion was eaten, but his wife could go get another one!

"Wife! Remember to get a large portion! We'll share it when you get back!"

The man shouted loudly at the woman's retreating figure, his heart already filling with anticipation.

He touched his belly, secretly regretting in his heart.

If he had known these fried noodles were this delicious, he should have gotten a large portion himself just now.

…………

The elevator doors across from Dayang Seafood Buffet Restaurant went "Ding" with a sound, the elevator doors slowly opening.

Zhao Zhenhui, wearing a set of casual clothes, walked out of the elevator, followed by his wife Zhou Yaqin.

Their Company was in a high-end Office Building next door; the two often came to this side to eat.

"Wife, what do you want to eat for lunch today?"

Zhao Zhenhui stopped his steps, his gaze sweeping over the signs of the restaurants on the 5th floor one by one, asking with a consulting tone.

He knew his wife liked a quiet environment; there were a few elegant high-end restaurants on the 5th floor, and the two often ate Western food there.

Zhou Yaqin's gaze passed over a few hot pot restaurants that looked rather noisy, pointing at a music restaurant in the distance that had no queue at the Door: "Let's go there, haven't eaten their black pepper steak in a long time, today's perfect to revisit the flavor."

She spoke and walked forward a few steps.

But behind her there was no movement of her husband following up.

Zhou Yaqin stopped and looked back; Zhao Zhenhui was standing in the Original Place, his gaze facing that Dayang Seafood Buffet Restaurant opposite, looking like he was deep in thought.

"What's wrong with you? Come on."

Zhou Yaqin frowned, her tone carrying a few points of doubt.

That seafood buffet restaurant she had passed by a few times, but hadn't gone in to eat yet.

Every time she passed by, she could see many people inside, and the clamor could be heard even standing at the Door — not her preferred style.

Zhao Zhenhui withdrew his gaze, walked quickly to his wife's side, and suggested with a smile: "Wife, how about a change of Taste today? How about going for seafood?"

"You don't have to go to a Seafood Buffet Restaurant to eat seafood."

Zhou Yaqin frowned slightly, her Tone somewhat reluctant: "It's too noisy inside; you have to strain your throat Shouting to speak. Going to a music restaurant to eat while listening to piano — how pleasant."

She has always liked a quiet dining atmosphere; the clamor in a Seafood Buffet Restaurant gives her a headache just listening to it.

Except for Lu Feng's Shop.

The reason is none other than this: compared to the environment, Taste/Flavor is what matters most.

"Aiya, a meal should be lively and bustling to have atmosphere!"

Zhao Zhenhui said with a smile, his Tone carrying a hint of negotiation: "A music restaurant's environment is more elegant, but eating there feels like being in a Company Conference Room — you have to speak softly, not refreshing at all. A buffet is fine too; you go get whatever you Want Eat, and you don't have to wait for Salty Shang — how Convenient."

He paused, then added with some anticipation: "And for some reason I feel that today at this Seafood Buffet Restaurant, we might just encounter some surprise."

"What surprise could there be from eating a buffet?"

Zhou Yaqin said a sentence with an unconcerned expression.

But she thought for a moment: usually when the Two People go out to eat together, Zhao Zhenhui almost every time listens to her — wherever she says to go, they go.

Her husband works so hard at the Company; occasionally listening to him once counts as a kind of care for him.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yaqin's resistance gradually disappeared.

She Sigh, looked at Zhao Zhenhui somewhat Helplessly and said: "Alright then, this time I'll listen to you — let's go eat seafood buffet. But Next Time where we eat, you have to listen to me."

"Many thanks, Wife, for your indulgence!"

Hearing this, Zhao Zhenhui immediately beamed with joy, pulled Zhou Yaqin, and walked toward the Seafood Buffet Restaurant.
