Protagonist:

Lu Feng

"Nope." Zhu Chang shook his head.

"Then tell me, what's the reason exactly? This isn't like you at all!"

Ma Wenliang continued pressing for the root cause.

"None of your business, why are you asking so much?"

Zhu Chang waved his hand impatiently, raising his hand to point at the wall clock: "It's almost one-thirty, you don't have to work this afternoon, right? Go eat your food, if you dawdle any longer be careful your boss doesn't fire you when you get back!"

"Tch!"

Ma Wenliang rolled his eyes, lowered his head and continued eating.

But he deliberately slowed his eating speed, occasionally using his peripheral vision to observe Zhu Chang.

This fatty was acting a bit abnormal today, he wanted to figure out what exactly Zhu Chang was up to.

During this time a few more diners came over carrying trays, politely asking if they could share the table.

But without exception, all were sent away by Zhu Chang using the excuse of waiting for someone.

Ma Wenliang ate while silently observing, his mind full of doubts.

This fatty usually comes to the store alone, never seen him make an appointment with anyone, where would any friends come from?

After another short while, Ma Wenliang's bowl of noodles was almost finished.

He was just planning to directly ask Zhu Chang again, but saw Zhu Chang's body, originally leaning against the chair back, suddenly sit up straight.

A pair of small eyes brightened like a dog seeing meat, staring fixedly at the counter side.

Something's happening!

Ma Wenliang looked along Zhu Chang's line of sight.

A female white-collar worker in her twenties stood at the counter, currently ordering.

Ma Wenliang had seen this female white-collar worker in Lu Feng's store a few times before, the previous few times she only ordered a portion of Red Braised Pork each time and sat in the corner eating slowly.

This female white-collar worker is the person Zhu Chang is waiting for?

Ma Wenliang glanced from afar, then turned to look at Zhu Chang who currently had a nervous expression.

He instantly understood.

No wonder this guy refused two pretty girls' requests to share a table earlier, turns out he already had a target!

But immediately after, Ma Wenliang had an even bigger doubt in his heart.

The female white-collar worker at the counter is not only beautiful, her temperament is also outstanding.

Judging from the elegance revealed in her clothing and mannerisms, she's definitely not an ordinary person.

Such a person is either a wealthy young lady from a well-off family, or a company executive.

Of course it's also possible she's both.

It's just that this female white-collar worker, no matter how you look at it, isn't from the same world as Zhu Chang this failed webnovel author.

How could Zhu Chang possibly know someone like her?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Ma Wenliang shook his head with certainty.

He wanted to see just what relationship this fatty and that female white-collar worker actually had.

…………

At the counter side, the still-queuing diners one by one stretched their necks, casting longing gazes at the roast oven in the kitchen.

They already knew, Lu Boss's new dish today is Roast Duck.

But only two ducks are sold per day.

Just now a group of muscular men had already wolfed down one duck, tearing it into eight pieces and devouring it completely.

Now another Roast Duck still hung in the roast oven.

Smelling the Roast Duck's aroma in the air, they could only silently swallow their saliva.

Unable to eat the Roast Duck, they could only desperately smell the fragrance.

After all, the luck of drawing the Red Ball isn't something everyone has.

Fang Yuan stood at the counter, handing the Red Ball from her pocket to Hu Xiaoyun, a gentle smile on her face: "Little girl, I accidentally drew this today, can I buy the Roast Duck?"

Hu Xiaoyun took the Red Ball from Fang Yuan's hand, smiling and nodding: "Yes yes, sister your luck is really good! Boss only roasted two Roast Ducks today, you just caught the last one."

The surrounding diners, hearing this, all cast envious gazes at Fang Yuan.

A diner behind opened his mouth, wanting to speak up and offer more money to buy Fang Yuan's portion of Roast Duck.

But seeing her designer clothes and luxury watch aura, she didn't look like someone short on money, so he could only helplessly give up the idea.

Not two minutes passed, Hu Xiaoyun carried a tray and walked quickly out from the kitchen.

On the tray lay a Roast Duck cut into several pieces, accompanied by a small dish of plum sauce.

"Here, sister your Roast Duck, careful it's hot."

Hu Xiaoyun handed over the tray, also specially reminding her.

Smelling the Roast Duck's fragrance rushing over, Hu Xiaoyun herself couldn't help swallowing saliva.

"Thanks."

Fang Yuan smiled and took the tray, not hurrying to find a seat in the hall, standing beside the counter waiting for a short while.

After Fang Shiming picked up the Red Braised Pork and Yangchun Noodles he had ordered, the two of them then walked together toward the Hall.

"Young Lady/Beauty! Here! There are empty seats here!"

The two of them had just prepared to find empty seats in the Hall when they heard a loud call from not far away.

Both father and daughter were Stunned for a moment, and looked in the direction of the sound.

They saw Zhu Chang stand up from his chair, one hand waving frantically at them, the other hand continuously pointing at the two empty seats opposite him, his face piled with an incomparably enthusiastic Smile.

That appearance, compared to his attitude when he Refused someone else's request to share a table Just Now, was simply like two different people.

Fang Yuan quickly recognized Zhu Chang.

After all, it had not been long Before/Previous since they met, and she had drawn the Red Ball from Zhu Chang.

She exchanged One Glance with Fang Shiming, and Fang Shiming nodded.

Afterward, the two of them carried their Trays and walked over to Zhu Chang's side.

"Younger brother, so it's you."

Fang Yuan placed the Roast Duck Tray on the Table, pulled over a chair and sat down, Smiling as she greeted Zhu Chang: "I thought you had finished eating and left long ago, didn't expect you to still be here."

The Roast Duck on the Table was still sizzling with oil, the glossy duck skin gleaming with a reddish-brown luster.

The Roast Duck had been neatly cut into many pieces, Heat wrapped in rich oily Fragrance drilling hard into people's noses.

This Fragrance was even more intense than Smelling it from outside, and Ma Wenliang beside Zhu Chang also Can't Help but swallow his saliva.

Looking again at Zhu Chang's side, it was even more exaggerated.

Fang Yuan spoke to him but he didn't have the slightest Reaction, just as if he hadn't heard.

From the moment Fang Yuan walked over Just Now, his gaze had never moved away from that plate of Roast Duck.

In his pair of not-so-large eyes, it seemed only that plate of Roast Duck could fit.

After a good while, Zhu Chang finally came back to his senses.

"Correct, correct, correct! I saw there were quite a lot of people today, afraid you and Uncle wouldn't find seats, so I specially saved these two empty seats for you!"

Zhu Chang slurped the saliva nearly flowing out of the corner of his mouth, and said to Fang Yuan with a Smile.

As he spoke these words, his eyes still glanced from time to time at the Roast Duck on the Table.

"Is that so, then thank you very much, younger brother.

Fang Yuan looked at Zhu Chang's appearance of obviously craving the Roast Duck, and Can't Help but Smile.

"Young Lady/Beauty, I see this Roast Duck... the size really isn't small! I Estimate that the two of you, you and Uncle, wanting to finish it might be quite a challenge..."

Zhu Chang leaned his body toward Fang Yuan's side, his Tone consultative: "How about this, let's split this Roast Duck, I'll help you eat some too, but Young Lady/Beauty you can be Relieved, I won't eat for free! I can give you money!"
