Protagonist:

Lu Feng

On the other side of the Lu Family Restaurant hall, Ma Wenliang and Zhu Chang also stopped their bickering.

"See? Wasn't I right?"

Ma Wenliang pointed at the figures of Li Jiang leading Su Yue away from the shop, and said to Zhu Chang with a smug face: "For a couple with truly good feelings, surprises and such are all flashy stuff; Boss Lu's move actually enhanced that little couple's feelings."

He still did not agree with Zhu Chang's view at this moment.

What a joke?

If surprises were useful, then when I give breakfast to a girl I like at the company in the future, would I still have to do it sneakily without telling her?

Wouldn't that mean I wouldn't even have the opportunity to speak to her?

Ma Wenliang had no intention of doing that; he was determined to continue walking unwaveringly on the path of a simp... no, a pure love warrior.

"What are you being so smug about? It has nothing to do with you."

Zhu Chang rolled his eyes and said stubbornly: "Maybe it's just a coincidence; those two had good feelings to begin with, it has nothing to do with other factors!"

Although he said that, his mind was calculating.

The experience just now was pretty good material; it just happens to fit into the novel plot he is currently writing.

This was personally witnessed by him, far more real than those fabricated couple interactions from before.

Seeing Zhu Chang still being stubborn, Ma Wenliang couldn't be bothered to continue arguing with him.

He was just about to lower his head and continue slurping his own bowl of beef noodles when his gaze unintentionally swept across the dining table and he suddenly discovered something off.

Zhu Chang ordered a portion of rice and three dishes today: Red Braised Pork, Stir-fried Pork with Chili, and Dongpo Pork Knuckle.

At this time, the plates of Red Braised Pork and Stir-fried Pork with Chili had already been eaten clean by him, not a drop of sauce left in the plates.

But uniquely that portion of Dongpo Pork Knuckle had already cooled a bit by now, yet Zhu Chang hadn't moved a single chopstick.

"Hey, Zhu Chang, you aren't planning to eat that knuckle you ordered?"

Ma Wenliang leaned over, smacked his lips, and pointed at that plate of Dongpo Pork Knuckle with his chopsticks: "I see you haven't moved a single chopstick; could it be you can't eat anymore? You wouldn't have forgotten Boss Lu's shop rules, right? If you order food in his shop and leave leftovers, that gets you on the blacklist. If you can't eat it, how about I help you eat it?"

As he spoke, his chopsticks reached toward that portion of knuckle.

He'd only eaten Lu Feng's knuckle once; the taste was beyond reproach.

Seeing Zhu Chang looking like he wasn't going to eat it now, he could just use it to satisfy his craving.

"Go away! Do I need your help eating?"

Zhu Chang reacted extremely fast; one hand smacked away Ma Wenliang's extended chopsticks, the other hand guarded that portion of knuckle.

He waved his hand at Ma Wenliang and said impatiently: "I'm deliberately saving this knuckle; it still has use later. Go eat your own noodles!"

"Tsk, stingy ghost."

Ma Wenliang curled his lip and lowered his head to continue slurping his soup noodles.

But in his heart he was somewhat puzzled.

This guy Zhu Chang, every time he comes to the shop to eat, it's like a whirlwind sweeping up clouds or a starved ghost reincarnated.

Sometimes after he finishes his own he still isn't satisfied and will even snatch food from my bowl.

Yet today he can bear to leave a whole plate of Dongpo Pork Knuckle.

This situation is indeed a bit abnormal.

Just then, a clear female voice interrupted Ma Wenliang's train of thought.

"Two handsome guys, may I ask if anyone is sitting here?"

Ma Wenliang looked up, and his eyes couldn't help but brighten.

Two very pretty girls were standing beside them holding trays right now, smiling as they looked at him.

Ma Wenliang's heart immediately livened up.

These two young ladies look quite pleasing to the eye; if we could share a table and eat together, maybe we could chat and get acquainted in the process.

Eating and chatting with beauties is far better than chatting with this bald fatso Zhu Chang.

Ma Wenliang nodded, just about to open his mouth to agree, but Zhu Chang beside him spoke up first.

"Two beauties, really sorry, there's already someone here."

Zhu Chang gave a hehe laugh at the two girls and casually pointed in some direction in the hall: "Why don't you go look over there? Seems like there are still a few tables with empty seats."

The smiles on the two girls' faces froze for a moment; one of them still wanted to say something, but the other gently shook her head and said softly: "Forget it, the window seat also has empty spots; let's go eat there."

"Alright then, sorry to bother you."

The two girls nodded at Zhu Chang, turned around holding their trays, and left.

Ma Wenliang was completely thrown by Zhu Chang's action.

He stared at Zhu Chang dumbfounded; after a good long while he finally reacted: "Hey, Zhu Chang, did you take the wrong medicine today?"

What's wrong with this dead fatty today? Today is really a bit abnormal.

Ma Wenliang and Zhu Chang got acquainted starting from this week.

They are both regulars at Lu Feng's shop; usually they often sit together eating, chatting, and bickering, and over time they got to know each other.

Ma Wenliang figured he understood some of Zhu Chang's personality.

This guy is a typical looks-obsessed person.

When eating with Zhu Chang before, he often saw him switch seats while eating, carrying his tray.

He just likes sitting at a table with young ladies; whichever table has more girls, he'll squeeze over there.

The day before yesterday at noon, Ma Wenliang had personally seen that there were still several empty tables in the Hall.

After getting his food, this guy Zhu Chang shamelessly went over to two female university students' Table and squeezed in to share it with them in a sleazy way.

Because of this, Ma Wenliang often teased Zhu Chang, saying he acted like a fly seeing that thing whenever he saw a girl.

Zhu Chang was grinning smugly at the time.

But today, those two girls who wanted to share a table were both quite pretty.

They rarely took the initiative to come over; if it were before, this fatty would have agreed long ago.

Yet he actually said "someone's already here" and sent them packing just like that?

"What wrong medicine did I take? What's wrong with me?"

Zhu Chang frowned and looked at Ma Wenliang, asking.

Ma Wenliang put his chopsticks down on the Table, his face full of disbelief: "You ask what's wrong with you? Normally you go dizzy at the sight of a woman, you'd crawl into their arms if you could! Those two girls just now were so pretty, they actively proposed sharing a table with you, that was an Opportunity delivered to your door, and you actually refused?"

"Get lost, you make it sound like I've never seen a woman before, am I that exaggerated?"

Zhu Chang replied irritably, his gaze sweeping back and forth among the diners Queuing in the Hall, and said casually: "Today... there's just a special situation."

"What special situation?"

Hearing this, Ma Wenliang immediately got interested, leaning toward Zhu Chang: "Could it be you've had a peach blossom luck, made a date with a girl to eat today?"
