Protagonist:

Lu Feng

His teeth had just touched the pork knuckle's skin when he felt that layer of skin break open lightly, not the least bit difficult.

Immediately after, the soft glutinous fatty meat wrapped in rich sauce spread in his mouth, carrying a strong braised fragrance, without any greasy feeling at all.

The lean meat inside the pork knuckle was also stewed thoroughly through, the fibers soaked in sauce; when his teeth bit down, meat juice mixed with sauce overflowed, intertwining in his oral cavity into a flavor that made one slam the table in praise.

Tian Xiaolin's eyes widened, her pupils full of surprise and delight.

Although sauce stained her mouth and nose tip, she didn't care in the slightest, only focused on quickly chewing the meat in her mouth and gulping it down with a *gulp* sound.

After a big mouthful of Dongpo Pork Knuckle went down, her stomach, which had been tormented by hunger for a good long while, finally obtained satisfaction at this moment.

"Wow! My heavens! This pork knuckle... is simply too delicious!"

Tian Xiaolin couldn't help but exclaim excitedly in a loud voice.

Speaking, she also couldn't be bothered to wipe the sauce off her face, picked up the plate facing the pork knuckle, and directly bit down hard again in a big mouthful.

This time she ate even more absorbedly, chewing while mumbling praises indistinctly.

That sound was full of love for this Dongpo Pork Knuckle from the bottom of her heart.

"Eat slower, this pork knuckle was ordered by you, no one's fighting you for it."

Fang Yuan watched Tian Xiaolin's appearance of not caring about her image, smiled and handed over a tissue, then took a pair of chopsticks and passed them over: "Careful not to get sauce on your clothes, that dress of yours is new, right?"

Tian Xiaolin lowered her head to glance at the white sundress she was wearing, took the tissue and haphazardly wiped her mouth.

As for the chopsticks Fang Yuan handed over, although she took them too, she still didn't use the chopsticks.

"Don't care! If clothes get dirty just wash them, this pork knuckle has to be eaten up while hot for the taste to be good!"

Tian Xiaolin said a sentence to herself.

Then once again with a very inelegant eating posture, she faced the plate of Dongpo Pork Knuckle and gnawed away.

The little assistant carried several dishes just taken from the counter side, walking back to the dining table with light steps.

When her gaze landed on Tian Xiaolin, her whole person instantly froze in place.

Tian Xiaolin's exaggerated eating appearance like a starved ghost truly scared her.

The little assistant had followed Tian Xiaolin for so many years; in her eyes Tian Xiaolin was always the most exquisite.

Normally eating together with her, Tian Xiaolin always took small bites and chewed slowly, a very elegant appearance.

But this girl right before her eyes hugging the pork knuckle gnawing wildly, not caring about her image, made her feel somewhat unfamiliar.

Is this still that exquisite female singer who shines brilliantly on stage, watched by ten thousand eyes?

On the other side, Zhao Qifeng carried a tray walking back; after seeing this scene his face color instantly changed.

He hurriedly put the tray in his hand on the dining table, his voice couldn't help but rise a few degrees.

"Miss Tian! Miss Tian! Stop! Quickly stop!"

But Tian Xiaolin was immersed in the deliciousness, as if she hadn't heard his words at all.

The Dongpo Pork Knuckle in the plate had already been gnawed half by her, yet she didn't have the slightest intention of stopping.

Zhao Qifeng couldn't help but snatch the plate from her hand; only then did Tian Xiaolin slowly raise her head.

Her mouth was still chewing non-stop, cheeks puffed out bulging, her eyes carrying a few points of dissatisfaction.

As if blaming Zhao Qifeng for interrupting her eating.

"Miss Tian, eating like this is absolutely unacceptable!"

Zhao Qifeng looked at Tian Xiaolin with a full face of seriousness, his tone carrying a few points of urgency.

He worried that too loud a voice would attract surrounding diners' attention, took a deep breath, lowered his voice and continued: "Just the fat calories in this Dongpo Pork Knuckle alone have already exceeded the standard; if you eat more your weight will definitely go up tomorrow! You've already eaten enough at noon today, for the remaining dishes I suggest you'd better not eat them anymore!"

"How can that do? My stomach is still hungry right now!"

Tian Xiaolin finally finished swallowing the meat in her mouth, picked up a tissue and wiped clean the sauce on her mouth, the corner of her mouth hooking a crafty smile: "Coach Zhao, sorry about that, what you said is a bit late; this shop has rules, the dishes I ordered must all be eaten up!"

"What rules? Miss Tian, what do your words mean?"

Zhao Qifeng knitted his brows tightly, his tone full of puzzlement.

He subconsciously looked at the little assistant beside him; the little assistant hurriedly shook her head, a blank-faced appearance.

Looking again at Tian Xiaolin's appearance of a scheme succeeding, Zhao Qifeng's heart couldn't help but *skip a beat* once.

Feeling like he seemed to have been calculated against.

"Coach Zhao, let me explain to you."

Fang Yuan forcibly held back a smile and spoke: "This shop's Lu Boss set a rule, no wasting food, order as much as you eat; if ordered dishes aren't finished and are wasted, you'll be listed on the shop's blacklist, and in the future you can never come here to eat again."

"What? There's even this kind of rule?"

Zhao Qifeng froze.

This is his first time coming to Lu Feng's shop; before coming he also hadn't looked into this shop.

The no-wasting-food rule Fang Yuan spoke of, he knew absolutely nothing about it.

"Wait, since there's such a rule, why didn't anyone remind?"

Zhao Qifeng looked somewhat dissatisfied toward the counter side.

"Still need a reminder? It's already written on the wall, Coach Zhao, didn't you see it?"

Tian Xiaolin laughed hee-hee and pointed at the price list on the wall.

Zhao Qifeng looked along the direction of her finger, and sure enough saw those rules Lu Feng had set before next to the price list.

He couldn't help but feel somewhat annoyed.

When ordering at the counter just now, his attention had been entirely on how to persuade Tian Xiaolin to eat less at lunch, and he had not noticed those things written on the wall at all.

Zhao Qifeng suddenly remembered that when ordering, that waiter seemed to have wanted to speak up to remind them of something, but was interrupted by Tian Xiaolin.

Thinking back now, the waiter at that time probably wanted to remind them of the rule against wasting food, right?

"Miss Tian, how did you know these rules inside the shop?"

Zhao Qifeng took a deep breath and asked Tian Xiaolin while looking at her.

"Hehe, Sister Yuan Yuan told me before."

Tian Xiaolin pointed at Fang Yuan opposite her with a giggling smile and said.

Zhao Qifeng glanced at Fang Yuan, seeing the other party smile and nod in tacit agreement.

He could not afford to offend Fang Yuan's status, so he could only suppress his anger and continue asking Tian Xiaolin: "Miss Tian, since you knew these rules from the beginning, why didn't you tell me?"

"You didn't ask me!"

Tian Xiaolin said righteously and confidently: "And even if I told you, would you still let me order these dishes?"

Zhao Qifeng instantly felt speechless.

If he had known earlier that Lu Feng's Shop had such rules, he indeed absolutely would have stopped her immediately when Tian Xiaolin was ordering.

Now that the dishes were already cooked, trying to cancel the order at this point seemed impossible.

Too careless!

It seemed this little girl had planned it all along, just waiting for this moment, right?
