Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Feng Jiao didn't notice Lu Feng's little movements at all, simply plopping down opposite Lu Feng and pointing at the xiaolongbao as she said, "Boss, I want to order, I want to eat this xiaolongbao."

"Business hours have already ended." Lu Feng said again.

For customers in the shop, he was still very patient, it was just that right now during his breakfast time he didn't like being disturbed.

"Aiya, Boss, just make me one portion, I'll eat and leave right away, it'll be quick!"

Feng Jiao pressed her palms together, blinking her big eyes, putting on a cute appearance as she pleaded.

Usually at the hospital, whenever she encountered some difficult problem, she would often use this move.

Originally her looks already belonged to the cute type, plus she had deliberately practiced coquettish movements.

Basically any colleagues who saw her looking like this couldn't help but feel a protective urge well up in their hearts; it couldn't be said she got everything she asked for, but anything they could help with they wouldn't refuse.

But this move didn't seem to have any effect on Lu Feng.

Lu Feng's gaze at her was no different from looking at an ordinary person, completely desireless and wantless.

He swallowed the xiaolongbao in his mouth, a brilliant smile appearing on his face, then said two words:

"No."

"……"

Although the smile on Lu Feng's face at this moment looked sunny and cheerful, Feng Jiao really wanted to beat him up.

Facing such a cute girl's request, how could you bear to refuse?

In the past relying on this adorable appearance, she had enjoyed quite a lot of preferential treatment.

But how come this boss just wouldn't buy it?

"Boss, I see you set your business hours so weirdly, you definitely don't have much business, I'm helping you!"

Feng Jiao put away that adorable expression, brows slightly furrowed, saying somewhat dissatisfied.

"If you want to eat, you can wait for business hours to come."

Lu Feng was unmoved, still looking completely calm and collected.

"But your set time is too weird, how could anyone not sleep at 3 AM and come to your place to eat?" Feng Jiao said with a face full of resentment.

Lu Feng smiled: "Or you can wait until next week to come again, this week's business hours are already set."

"When does business open next week?" Feng Jiao heard this and asked curiously.

"Don't know yet, next week wait for my notification."

"……"

Hearing Lu Feng's answer, Feng Jiao was once again at a loss for words.

What kind of statement is this?

You're a boss, you don't even know when you're opening for business next week?

Even if you're the boss here, doing business like this aren't you afraid of offending customers?

"Beauty, I'm closing up after I finish eating in a bit, could you trouble yourself to go out first?"

Lu Feng was speaking the truth; there weren't many xiaolongbao left in front of him, he'd been busy all night, and he still needed to go back early to catch up on sleep.

But in Feng Jiao's ears, this sounded like he was chasing her out.

As a girl being chased out, Feng Jiao felt this boss was purely teasing her, couldn't help but stamp her foot, and angrily turned her head and walked out the shop door.

"Hmph! If you won't sell then forget it! What's so great about you! Who cares! Food Street doesn't only have your one restaurant! With such inhuman business hours, it'd be a miracle if anyone came!"

Feng Jiao walked out angrily while muttering softly.

Her front foot had just stepped out the shop door when she saw an old grandpa walk in smiling with his hands behind his back.

Feng Jiao, who had originally planned to leave directly, seeing someone enter the shop, inexplicably hid at the doorway, wanting to hear what this old grandpa would say to the boss.

"Young man, how come you haven't left yet?" Grandpa Qin greeted Lu Feng enthusiastically as soon as he entered.

Lu Feng also smiled and stood up, saying to Grandpa Qin: "I'll leave after I finish breakfast, Grandpa Qin, how come you came so early?"

"Just ate breakfast at home, came out for a stroll, happened to see your door still open, so I came in to take a look." Grandpa Qin looked around the shop, smiling as he asked: "How was business last night?"

"Not bad." Lu Feng replied with a humble face.

"Little Li told me this morning, you had so many people queuing, the line was super long!" Grandpa Qin nodded, then said with a somewhat regretful tone: "If it weren't for your business hours this week being too late, this old man would definitely have come personally, and eating at your place would've been a blast."

Compared to eating alone at home, Grandpa Qin preferred enjoying Lu Feng's delicious food in a lively shop with lots of people.

Lu Feng heard a hint of complaint in Grandpa Qin's tone, and smiled helplessly: "This week really couldn't be helped, but next week maybe it won't be so late."

"Young man, tell this old man." Hearing this, Grandpa Qin's eyes couldn't help but light up, leaning in with a face full of anticipation and asking quietly: "When are you preparing to open for business next week, so I can have some preparation too."

"This……"

Lu Feng also didn't know how to say it; before the system task refreshed, he also didn't know what time he'd open for business next week.

He could only complete the five weekly tasks as soon as possible to unlock free business hours.

"Alright, won't make things difficult for you." The old man showed a smiling face, patted Lu Feng's shoulder, and said indifferently: "Whatever time you open next week, as long as this old man can eat your culinary skill, that's all that matters!"

Lu Feng nodded; although he didn't know Grandpa Qin's specific identity, he felt he was quite amiable toward people.

Feng Jiao, who had been eavesdropping by the shop door this whole time, couldn't help but feel a strong curiosity toward Lu Feng's shop at this moment.

From the meaning in the old grandpa's words just now, this shop not only had people coming to buy food in the early morning, but quite a few at that.

For real or fake?

This old grandpa doesn't look like a plant hired by the boss either.

Could this Boss's culinary skill really be that good?

Feng Jiao had tasted plenty of delicious things over the years, but if those things were only available at three in the morning, she definitely wouldn't go.

She simply couldn't understand how the customers of this Shop could be so willing to come eat here so late.

Qin Ye and Lu Feng inside the Shop chatted a few more sentences, then Turned Around and Prepared to leave.

Feng Jiao feared being discovered eavesdropping outside later, and to avoid Embarrassment, she hurriedly quickened her pace and left Lu Feng's Shop.

The resentment that had risen in the Shop just now she temporarily put to the back of her mind, and at this moment she kept turning over and over in her head the conversation between that Eldest Brother and Lu Feng just now.

Just how Delicious did the things this young Boss made have to be, to make people line up to buy without sleeping at dawn?

Carrying this question, Feng Jiao slowly walked out of Food Street.

Only when she walked all the way to the traffic light did she suddenly realize: she had Only Cared about thinking things over and forgotten to buy Breakfast to eat.

Forget it, go back and eat Instant Noodles!

Feng Jiao continued walking toward home, but Lu Feng's Shop had already aroused her Curiosity.

She secretly Decided that if she wasn't busy on the night shift today, she would Sneak Out to buy a Portion and Taste it.

She wanted to see just what kind of Delicious thing could give this Boss such confidence.
