Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Inside the Lu Family Restaurant's hall, the diners all turned into melon-eating onlookers, enjoying the food while watching Li Jiang and Su Yue, their chatter and laughter rising and falling.

The spoon Su Yue had just picked up was still suspended in mid-air, her gaze full of surprise as she looked at Li Jiang beside her.

"Right... this is the soup I stewed myself."

Li Jiang's hands under the table gradually clenched, the corners of his mouth pulling into a smile uglier than crying.

By now, in his heart he had already cursed Lu Feng over eight hundred times.

Originally his plan was: Su Yue tastes his soup, if she thinks the flavor is not bad, then tell her it was personally stewed by him.

Result: this guy Lu Feng didn't play by common sense.

This move of revealing it in advance completely disrupted his original plan.

After Li Jiang finished speaking, he turned his head and glared viciously at Lu Feng, giving him a look that wanted to knife someone.

"Mm, that's how it is, look at how thoughtful my brother is."

Lu Feng directly ignored Li Jiang's gaze, laughing as he patted his shoulder: "Good brother, cooking for your girlfriend with your own hands, what's there to hide about this kind of thing? Just say it openly. Whether the taste is good or not is another matter, this sincerity has to be let known, otherwise the effort you spent stewing soup early this morning wouldn't have been in vain, right?"

"Hehe... thanks a lot, you really are my good brother!"

Li Jiang took a deep breath, squeezing these words out from between his teeth.

"No need to thank me, if you need help with this kind of thing in the future, just tell me, no need to be polite with a brother, call me Red Scarf."

Lu Feng smiled incomparably brilliantly, then turned and left with a carefree air.

On the way back to the kitchen, his steps were much lighter than when he came, and he even hummed two lines of an off-key little tune.

That's right, Lu Feng did it on purpose.

Who told Li Jiang to show off on the phone yesterday that he had a girlfriend, and mock him for being a single dog.

Today making Li Jiang lose face in front of so many people, this counts as even.

"Speaking of... does what Boss Lu just did count as selling out his brother? I just saw murderous intent in his brother's eyes."

Zhu Chang, sitting not far away, had just finished a plate of Red Braised Pork, wiped the sauce from the corner of his mouth, his lowered voice carrying irrepressible gossip and curiosity.

Ma Wenliang, the programmer sitting at the same table as Zhu Chang, his gaze swept over Li Jiang and Su Yue a few times, nodding with a certain expression: "Mm... after my careful observation and analysis, this possibility is very high, but I feel Boss Lu probably didn't have any ill intent either. Look at the expression on that girl's face, it's obviously quite happy."

"Tsk tsk tsk... Boss Lu's move is a bit sinister."

Zhu Chang shook his head, his tone carrying a few points of sympathy for Li Jiang: "His brother obviously wanted to give his girlfriend a surprise, and now it's been directly punctured by Boss Lu, how boring is that!"

"In my view, not necessarily."

Ma Wenliang put down his chopsticks, refuting seriously: "Liking someone, wanting to do something for them, letting the other party know in advance isn't bad either. Saying it openly lets the other party know your sincerity; the result might be even better."

"Brother, do you understand what a surprise is?"

Zhu Chang shook his head: "Girls in love really hope to receive surprises during the relationship. Girls are emotional creatures; they all like the touching feeling brought by surprises, feeling that this is romantic. A surprise can move them more than directly expressing sincerity. If you break it in advance, that special touching feeling is gone."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you speak as if you're so experienced, aren't you a lifelong single?"

Ma Wenliang looked at Zhu Chang with a face full of disdain and said.

These words poked Zhu Chang's sore spot, making his expression somewhat embarrassed.

"Hmph, never eaten pork, but haven't seen a pig run?"

Zhu Chang rolled his eyes at Ma Wenliang, stiffening his neck to retort: "Although I've never been in a relationship, I've written three romance novels! The routines of male-female romance, I understand clearer than anyone!"

"That's just armchair strategy; without practice, what the hell do you know?"

Ma Wenliang snorted through his nose: "No wonder nobody reads your novels. A romance written by a lifelong single who's never dated, can anyone stand to read it?"

"You've never even read my novels, you don't know shit!"

Zhu Chang looked Ma Wenliang up and down, asking displeased: "You have the nerve to talk about me? Do you have a girlfriend? Aren't you also a single dog?"

"Hmph, although I'm temporarily single, I'm much stronger than you."

Ma Wenliang straightened his waist, his tone carrying some pride: "At least I have a girl I'm pursuing. This morning I even brought her breakfast. When she took it, she even smiled at me. Doesn't that mean she's interested in me too? I'm only one confession away from leaving singlehood!"

"Pfft—"

Zhu Chang almost sprayed out the water he had just drunk, pointing at Ma Wenliang he couldn't help laughing: "So after all that, you're a simp? A girl smiles at you and you think she's interested?"

"Get lost! What simp?"

Ma Wenliang got anxious, correcting indignantly: "I'm a pure love warrior! A lifelong single dog like you who only does armchair strategy will never understand this feeling!"

"Dead simp, still stubborn."

Zhu Chang curled his lip, shaking his head with a look of hating iron for not becoming steel.

"Lifelong single dog!"

Ma Wenliang counterattacked aggressively.

"Simps don't get house!"

"Dead street writer whose novels nobody reads!"

"..."

These two started bickering as they talked.

The surrounding diners saw a good show starting, all turning their heads to watch the excitement.

There were also quite a few diners turning into gossip-eating onlookers, looking at Li Jiang and Su Yue's table, quietly discussing what just happened.

They ate melons with relish, discussing quite enthusiastically.

However, the long-haired girl sitting opposite Su Yue at this moment felt like she was on pins and needles, her whole body uncomfortable.

Just now, from Lu Boss's revelation, she could tell.

So the two people before her are actually a little couple?

The long-haired girl only felt that at this moment she was like a super-sized third wheel, bright enough to dazzle the eyes.

Her gaze secretly looked left and right in the Hall, and after hesitating for a long time she steeled herself, raised her head, and facing Li Jiang and Su Yue, the two people, smiled a bit embarrassedly: "That... how about I go sit somewhere else? Me being here is a bit in the way."

Right now Li Jiang's heart was a tangled mess; the social-death scene just now made him can't help but want to find a crack in the ground to burrow into.

If the long-haired girl left, only he and Su Yue would be left alone at this table, and he didn't know what to say next.

With an outsider present, at least it could still alleviate this deadly embarrassed atmosphere.
