Oh no, the aloof school beauty has been reborn too!

The two entered the store.

Everyone in the shop was taken aback when they saw Shen Qingyi enter.

The owner was holding a strainer, about to scoop noodles into the pot, but his movement stopped in mid-air.

The proprietress had just placed a bowl of noodles on the customer's table when she turned her head and saw Shen Qingyi; her eyes lit up for a moment.

This girl is really beautiful.

Her skin was fair and her features were delicate.

Standing there doing anything, it's as if you have a soft-focus filter on you.

The proprietress couldn't help but mutter to herself...

Could it be some celebrity or something?

You'll need to add more ingredients!

What if someone casually takes a video and posts it online? Wouldn't their little shop become an internet sensation?

Ignoring the stares from all around, Lu Xing pulled Shen Qingyi to sit down in an empty seat against the wall.

Only after they sat down did the two finally let go of each other's hands.

The warmth in his palm vanished abruptly, and Lu Xing's fingers instinctively curled up.

He quickly realized what was happening, pretending to be nonchalant as he pulled his hand back under the table and pushed the menu on the table in front of Shen Qingyi:

"What would you like to eat?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the menu and began to explain:

"Although the soup base at this restaurant is rather light, the flavor is quite authentic."

"This soup isn't made with seasoning packets like some other shops; it's actually made by simmering beef bones and other ingredients."

As soon as Lu Xing finished speaking, the proprietress came over with a smile.

"Oh, handsome young man, you're absolutely right!"

???

The proprietress spoke very enthusiastically, her smile practically overflowing:

"At our house, the soup is all real, absolutely no fakes!"

"We start simmering it every morning; the beef bones are always delivered fresh and very clean!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Shen Qingyi, her voice softening considerably:

"Girl, take your time looking around. Tell Auntie what you'd like to eat."

"We can make noodles, rice noodles, and even beef."

"Just call me when you've thought it through."

Finally, the proprietress added:

"Our beef is so delicious!"

After the proprietress turned and walked away, Lu Xing stared at her retreating figure with a strange expression on his face.

In his previous life, he had visited this noodle shop many times.

But to my recollection, this couple had never been this enthusiastic before.

Sometimes when he walks in, the proprietress won't even bother to look up; she'll just call out from halfway across the shop:

"What do you want to eat?"

The tone is so concise, and the efficiency is so high!

What's wrong with me today?

Lu Xing glanced up again in the direction of the kitchen.

The owner was cooking noodles while glancing at their table every now and then.

Lu Xing couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Could it be that the couple is in a good mood today?

But as soon as the thought crossed Lu Xing's mind, he remembered that Shen Qingyi was sitting opposite him.

Oh……

understood.

They probably mistook Shen Qingyi for some kind of celebrity or a food blogger, right?

Let alone the boss and his wife.

As she walked from the alleyway entrance into the shop, she attracted countless glances.

Some people watched her while eating kebabs, while others watched her while drinking milk tea.

Just then, Shen Qingyi had already looked at the menu.

She gently pushed the menu back to Lu Xing and asked with a smile:

"What are you thinking about?"

Lu Xing looked up at her delicate and beautiful face and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He simply shook his head:

"I wasn't thinking about anything."

Lu Xing picked up the menu and glanced at it casually.

Actually, there's not much to see. He used to eat braised pork intestine noodles at this restaurant most often.

The noodles are chewy and the soup base is refreshing.

The large intestine was cleaned thoroughly, and the braised dish tasted good without any strange fishy smell.

However...

The amount of pork intestines given depends entirely on the boss's mood that day.

Lu Xing waved.

"Boss lady."

The proprietress came over almost immediately, as if she had been waiting nearby for a long time.

"Have you thought it through?"

Lu Xing nodded.

"A bowl of braised pork intestine noodles."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Qingyi.

Shen Qingyi said softly:

"A bowl of beef noodles."

The proprietress immediately wrote it down.

"Alright, one bowl of braised pork intestine noodles and one bowl of beef rice noodles!"

Just as she was about to turn around, she seemed to remember something and turned back to ask Shen Qingyi:

"Does the girl eat cilantro?"

Shen Qingyi thought for a moment.

"Eat a little."

The proprietress's smile deepened.

"Okay, then Auntie will put a little less in for you."

Lu Xing: "..."

what about me?

Why does this even offer personalized customization services?

When he ordered the braised pork intestine noodles, the proprietress didn't ask him a single question.

Forget it.

I won't bring anyone to this store next time!

The proprietress returned to the stove and whispered a few words to the proprietress.

Lu Xing couldn't hear exactly what she said, but he saw the boss glance in their direction again.

Then he nodded very seriously.

Lu Xing's eyelids twitched.

Do these two really think Shen Qingyi is some kind of hidden food blogger?

The shop is small, and the tables are placed close together.

Two boys were sitting next to me; they looked like freshmen at Jiangcheng University.

From the moment they entered, the two boys' behavior was quite subtle.

I want to watch, but I don't dare to watch openly.

One of them was eating noodles with his head down, but his peripheral vision was almost glued to Shen Qingyi.

The other person held chopsticks, but couldn't pick up any noodles from the bowl after trying for a long time.

Lu Xing actually understood perfectly.

If it were me in my past life, sitting in the shop and seeing Shen Qingyi come in, I would most likely have taken a second look.

Understanding is one thing.

But when the object of observation becomes yourself, the feeling is completely different.

In particular, those gazes would eventually shift from Shen Qingyi to him.

Then it gradually transformed into a familiar sense of questioning—

What gives you the right?

Lu Xing silently picked up the water on the table and took a sip.

The cool tea soothed my throat, slightly calming the subtle awkwardness in my heart.

yes……

Where did this tea come from?

Today, even Feng got tea to drink!

Shen Qingyi looked at him, and the corners of her lips curved slightly.

Do you often eat at small restaurants like this?

"I used to do it often."

Lu Xing answered instinctively.

As soon as he said it, he realized that his statement was not quite right.

So he quickly tried to remedy the situation:

"I mean, there are similar small shops near the high school."

"These kinds of places are usually not very well decorated, but the smell is more authentic."

Shen Qingyi nodded gently.

"Yes, I know."

Lu Xing was a little surprised.

"You know?"

I originally thought that a girl with her temperament would rarely come to a small restaurant like this.

It's not prejudice...

The main issue is that her sitting here feels quite out of place with her surroundings.

Shen Qingyi rested her chin on her hand, her voice soft:

"I've eaten it before."

"You used to eat noodles in places like this?"

"Um."

Shen Qingyi's gaze softened, as if she had remembered something.

"Sometimes when I'm too lazy to cook, I'll go out and find a small restaurant to eat at."

Too lazy to cook?

Lu Xing was stunned for a moment.

He was about to ask another question when the proprietress's voice came from the front:

"Gentlemen, your noodles are ready!"

The proprietress came over carrying a tray.

The first thing placed in front of Shen Qingyi was a steaming bowl of beef noodles.

The soup is clear and bright, with a thin layer of oil floating on the surface.

Bright green scallions were dotted on top, and indeed only a tiny bit of cilantro was added.

But the most eye-catching dish is still the beef.

Lu Xing glanced at it and fell silent.

The beef on top of that bowl of beef noodles was piled up quite generously.

The thinly sliced ​​beef almost covered half the bowl of noodles, and there were even a few pieces of meat that were noticeably thicker in the middle.

Lu Xing's expression gradually became complicated.

Immediately afterwards, the proprietress placed the braised pork intestine noodles in front of Lu Xing.

Lu Xing looked down.

Ok……

There was quite a lot of pork intestines, almost twice as much as he remembered.

But compared to Shen Qingyi's bowl of beef noodles, which could be described as a deluxe version, it still seemed rather plain.

The proprietress said with a smile:

"Eat slowly, and we'll add more soup if you need more."

Shen Qingyi looked up and smiled politely:

"Thank you, Auntie."

The proprietress smiled even more broadly:

You're welcome, you're welcome.

Before she left, she added one more thing:

"If you like it, please come again next time."

"Um."

Shen Qingyi nodded.

"Yes."

Lu Xing watched the proprietress leave with a satisfied expression, then silently picked up his chopsticks.

Seeing his expression, Shen Qingyi couldn't help but chuckle softly.
