Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Xiao Feilong stood before the counter, looking at Lu Feng's dead-serious expression, his fingers unconsciously curling up.

Although Lu Feng answered very seriously, he inexplicably felt his hands itch a bit.

An impulse surged in his heart, wanting to pin Lu Feng on the counter and pound him a couple of times to vent.

"Hurry up, you in front! So many people waiting behind!"

Ma Wenliang, still queuing at the hall entrance, poked his head out and urged loudly, "I have a meeting back at the company later! If I keep waiting I'll get chewed out when I return!"

Xiao Feilong glanced back at the queue behind him, knew dragging it out was useless, and had to obediently order something else.

After getting the food, Xiao Feilong picked up the tray, walked quickly into the hall, swept his eyes around, and soon spotted Gu Manman sitting at the window seat.

Gu Manman was holding a spoon, gently stirring the tremella soup in the small bowl before her, her gaze very focused.

She didn't even notice when Xiao Feilong sat down opposite her.

Xiao Feilong put the tray in his hand on the table, not rushing to pick up his chopsticks.

He leaned his body forward, moved close to Gu Manman's face, wearing a somewhat ingratiating smile as he opened his mouth: "Manman, how about discussing something with you?"

Gu Manman only then raised her head, saw the smile on Xiao Feilong's face, and immediately became wary.

"No way! Don't even think about it!"

Her hands went "pa" as she made a big X in front of her chest, shaking her head and saying in a tone that brooked no argument.

"Hey, I haven't even said what it is yet!"

Xiao Feilong frowned with a wronged look, pouted his mouth and said: "At least listen first!"

"Tch! Your little schemes are written all over your face!"

Gu Manman rolled her eyes at Xiao Feilong, snorted through her nose and said: "You're just coveting my last portion of tremella soup, how could I not guess?"

Xiao Feilong saw his thoughts exposed, and laughed "hehe" a bit embarrassedly.

"Manman, we few are good friends, we get along so well normally, look, I didn't manage to buy this tremella soup today, why not let me have it? Or giving me half works too!"

"Heh, no door!" (idiom: no way)

Gu Manman nudged the small bowl holding the tremella soup closer to herself, even stretched out a hand to block it in her arms, like a mother hen protecting her chicks: "I still want to drink this tremella soup myself, if you want to drink it, buy it yourself next time!"

Lu Feng's honey tremella soup is only a small bowl per portion; Gu Manman drinking this one small bowl herself already feels a bit insufficient, and now Xiao Feilong still wants to share a spoonful, so of course she disagrees.

"Manman, are you sure you disagree?"

Xiao Feilong saw the soft approach wouldn't work, the smile on his face suddenly changed flavor, the corner of his mouth hooked into a malicious grin, his tone carrying a few parts threat: "If your fans were to find out that you already have……"

"Stop!"

Gu Manman's face changed, she nervously looked around, seemingly afraid of being overheard.

Both angry and anxious, she glared at Xiao Feilong, gritted her teeth and said: "Xiao Feilong, you've gone too far! You count yourself, these past few days you've used this trick to threaten me, how many good things have you snatched from me? Is there no end to it?"

"What no end? Manman, what's wrong with you? What are you two arguing about?"

A voice came from behind Gu Manman.

Li Wenyi walked over carrying a bowl of pig trotter noodles, looking at Xiao Feilong and Gu Manman with a curious face.

"Nothing!"

Gu Manman's face was overcast, she waved her hand at Li Wenyi: "Go eat your noodles! It's none of your business so don't go prying! Careful or I'll snatch all the pig trotters from your bowl and eat them later!"

Li Wenyi scratched his head, his gaze swept back and forth between Xiao Feilong and Gu Manman twice, and sat down with a belly full of doubts.

Gu Manman turned her head, a pair of almond eyes staring round, lips pressed into a straight line, glaring fiercely at Xiao Feilong.

Xiao Feilong sitting opposite her wasn't panicked at all, his face still wearing a smug expression.

"Xiao Feilong, I'm warning you, don't go too far."

Gu Manman squeezed these words out from between her teeth, her eyes looking like they wanted to swallow Xiao Feilong alive.

"Where was I too far? Last weekend, the cinema——"

Xiao Feilong deliberately drew out his tone, looking at Gu Manman with a beaming smile.

"What about the cinema last weekend?"

Li Wenyi smelled the scent of gossip, a piece of pig trotter in his mouth, leaned over and asked.

"Eat your food! Less prying!"

Gu Manman's face went "shua" red in an instant, she glared at Li Wenyi and said fiercely.

Li Wenyi shrank his neck; usually Gu Manman has a very good temper, today she's acting a bit abnormal.

Although the curiosity in his heart was almost off the charts, looking at Gu Manman's stance, he probably wouldn't get it out of her, so he could only lower his head and continue eating his noodles.

Gu Manman's face was flushed red, half from being angered by Xiao Feilong, half from shame.

Xiao Feilong did indeed hold a little secret of hers.

Last Saturday evening, she and her boyfriend, who she had just confirmed the relationship with not long ago, the two of them went to the cinema in the city center to watch a newly released romance film.

Result: when the movie let out, a familiar "wo cao" suddenly came from not far away.

Gu Manman turned her head, saw Xiao Feilong with his mouth wide open, a dumbfounded face looking at her.

Then his gaze fixed tightly on her and her boyfriend's clasped hands, a wicked smile appeared on his face, he took out his mobile phone and snapped a photo towards this side.

Gu Manman was so scared at that time her whole body trembled, she hurriedly pulled her boyfriend and left the cinema.

Afterwards, she took the initiative to find Xiao Feilong, bought milk tea and said nice things, begged him repeatedly not to spread the news that she had a boyfriend.

The reason Gu Manman was so afraid was because her online persona had always been that of a "single beauty foodie".

The key point here is "single."

Eighty percent of her fans are male, and quite a few of them are drawn to her because she is "single."

Every time she livestreams, those male fans generously send her gifts.

If word got out that she now has a boyfriend, she would likely lose many followers, and her income would drop significantly.

During the period Gu Manman was dating, she was always very careful, and even Xiao Feilong and the others didn't know.

But unexpectedly, last Saturday when she went on a date with her boyfriend to the cinema, she just happened to run into Xiao Feilong.

Ever since Xiao Feilong found out about this, he has treated it as leverage.

After that, every time he came to Lu Feng's shop to eat, he would snatch something to eat from Gu Manman.

For example, yesterday she finally managed to buy some Crab Roe Xiaolongbao, but Xiao Feilong threatened her and forcibly took four of them.

"Xiao Feilong, how many times have you threatened me? You keep using this same trick over and over, can't you come up with something fresh?"

Gu Manman put on a stern face, her tone full of resentment.

She truly couldn't bear to part with this bowl of Honey Tremella Soup.
