Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Before, she had asked Li Wei to help her pick up a package, but she waited at home for ages and he never came back.

She went to the courier station to check, and found this guy still squatting at the door, reading every single word on each parcel's shipping label one by one.

What gives Chen Yao the biggest headache is going to the supermarket with him to buy things.

Li Wei stands in front of the shelves, and no matter what he's holding, he has to study every single word on the packaging.

This makes the surrounding customers look at them with strange eyes; even the sales assistants think he's there to cause trouble.

Because of this, Chen Yao has a huge headache over his weird obsessive-compulsive habit.

But no matter how many times she tells him, Li Wei still can't change it.

The queue inched forward slowly.

Just as it was about to be Li Wei and the others' turn, he finally finished studying every word on the wrapping paper.

He let out a long breath, as if he had completed some important mental task.

He turned his head and saw Chen Yao pulling a long face, staring at him with great dissatisfaction.

Li Wei's heart tightened, and he hurriedly folded the wrapping paper, stuffed it into his pocket, and coaxed his girlfriend in a soft tone.

"Baby, don't be angry anymore. I'm done reading it, aren't I?"

Chen Yao hmphed, asking with a smile that didn't reach her eyes: "Done reading? I've got a few more sheets here, want to keep reading?"

"Baby, I was wrong. I'll definitely fix this habit from now on. Is it okay if I change slowly?"

Li Wei held Chen Yao's hand and shook it gently, promising solemnly.

"Hmph, I've heard you say this who knows how many times. I think you just can't change it."

Chen Yao glared at him, saying with a face full of disbelief.

"This time I guarantee it's true! I swear!"

Li Wei hurriedly raised his right hand in a swearing gesture, speaking in a very serious tone.

"Alright, then I'll trust you one more time. You'd better keep your word."

Seeing his dead-serious look, the anger in Chen Yao's heart dissipated by more than half, and her expression softened considerably.

Seeing it was about to be their turn to order, Chen Yao turned and walked toward the counter.

But what he didn't notice was that Li Wei behind him swept his gaze across the hall's walls, and his eyes instantly went straight again.

The conspicuous price list on the wall listed every dish and price in Lu Feng's shop, instantly triggering Li Wei's obsessive-compulsive habit again.

Li Wei stared dead at the price list, the words he'd just said instantly thrown to the back of his mind.

Starting from the topmost character, he began reading slowly and softly, word by word, sentence by sentence, downward.

"Hello, what would the two of you like to eat today?"

Hu Xiaoyun wore a gentle smile on her face as she looked at Chen Yao and asked.

"I want xiaolongbao and Yangchun Noodles. Li Wei, what do you want to eat?"

Chen Yao said, habitually turning her head to ask Li Wei's opinion.

But she saw him still standing in place, eyes fixed straight on the price list on the wall.

Seeing him like this, the fire in Chen Yao's heart flared up again.

"Baby, you order what you want first. I'll come over once I finish reading what's written up there. It'll be quick!"

Li Wei said without turning his head, reading the words on the price list word by word, sentence by sentence.

"Hmph! Again! Every time it's like this!"

Chen Yao's face fell instantly, and she let out a heavy hmph through her nose.

But with Hu Xiaoyun and so many diners present, she couldn't flare up.

She could only turn to Hu Xiaoyun with an apologetic smile: "Sorry about this, can you wait for us a moment?"

"Of course."

Hu Xiaoyun said with a smile.

Seeing his girlfriend didn't blame him, the pressure in Li Wei's heart lessened considerably.

He stared at the price list on the wall even more intently, his gaze like a scanner's, from left to right, top to bottom, reading every single character on it softly.

Then, he discovered the Honey Tremella Soup newly added at the very bottom of the price list today.

"Baby, there's a special offer here!"

Li Wei whipped his head around to look at Chen Yao, eyes shining bright, his tone full of surprise.

"How is that possible?"

Chen Yao frowned, subconsciously scanning the hall, saying with some disbelief: "If there was a promotion, how come I didn't see any publicity in the shop?"

Usually when other shops have promotions, they post relevant posters at the door to advertise.

At the very least, they'd put up promotional signs on the counter.

"It's true. I read it word by word. Don't believe me? Look! It says 'special price' after Honey Tremella Soup!"

Li Wei pointed at the Honey Tremella Soup on the price list, his voice raised considerably.

With this shout of his, the queuing diners behind him instantly had their attention drawn, all turning to look at the price list on the wall.

"Holy crap? There really is a promotion? Why didn't Lu Boss give advance notice?"

A queuing diner cried out in surprise.

"Xiao Yun! What's the activity today? Hurry up and tell everyone!"

The few diners standing at the Door couldn't see the Price List inside the Shop, and were so anxious they were scratching their ears and cheeks; someone directly shouted a question at Hu Xiaoyun inside the Shop.

Hu Xiaoyun had already been holding it in for half the day; since Business Hours began, she had been constantly anticipating that someone would Discover today's special-price Honey Tremella Soup, her heart itching with anticipation.

Now someone had finally Discovered it, and with diners asking about it, she could finally say it.

Hu Xiaoyun immediately straightened up, her voice carrying a hint of irrepressible Excitement: "Boss has come out with a New Dish again today, Honey Tremella Soup, special price one Coin per Portion!"

The moment these words came out, the original clamor in the Hall instantly vanished.

Even the diners currently eating stopped their chopsticks mid-air.

Everyone's eyes stared in unison at the Price List on Qiang Shang, mouths agape wide enough to fit a whole egg.

For any diner who had been to Lu Feng's Shop, they were incomparably familiar with the Shop's dish prices.

Every dish in Lu Feng's Shop was worth far more than its price.

But the prices were never Cheap, exceeding other Shops' prices by several times.

Yet today's New Dish actually Only Sold for one Coin per Portion?

"Lu Boss! Did you miss two zeros on this price?"

A queuing diner barely managed to retrieve his dropped jaw and Loudly Asked a question Facing Kitchen at Lu Feng.

Lu Feng walked out from Kitchen at a leisurely pace, looking at everyone's jaw-dropped expressions, feeling inexplicably refreshed in his heart.

"That's right, it's this price."

He said to the crowd with a completely calm face.

Although he had said so, there were still diners who dared not believe it.

"Lu Boss, does this one Coin refer to US dollars or Euros, or could it be Bitcoin? No matter which one, I don't have any!"

Another diner said with a cautious face.

"Of Course it's the currency we normally use; this Store does not accept foreign currency."

Lu Feng said with a Tone that was still extremely Definite.

However, even such a Definite Tone still failed to dispel the diners' Doubtful feelings.

After all, all along, diners had long since grown accustomed to the high prices in Lu Feng's Shop.

A dish priced at one Coin per Portion suddenly appearing, they instead found it somewhat hard to believe.
