One person: Orochi, starting with Feng Baobao's Eight Heroes.

Chen Qi smiled slightly, then slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

. . . . . . .

The next day

noon

University cafeteria

Chen Qi sat at the only empty table in the cafeteria, playing on his phone, oblivious to everything around him.

"This is the school cafeteria. We're a bit late today, so hurry up and get your food. There are three food windows here, with three different price tiers: 5 yuan, 8 yuan, and 10 yuan. Please choose the window that best suits your needs and budget!"

At this moment

Wearing a loose red hoodie, casual trousers, and a pair of Air Jordans, Chen Duo led a group of curious and lively freshmen over.

"Thank you, Senior Chen Duo!"

"Of course, the first time should be the 10-yuan one!"

"I'll just have the 5-yuan one!"

"I'm new here, I can't be stingy, I'll have the 8 yuan one!"

"Hey, classmate, don't eat the five-yuan one, I'll treat you to the eight-yuan one!"

"Senior Chen Duo, you can line up here, I'll let you go first!"

The freshmen chattered amongst themselves, each choosing the window they needed and queuing up.

"No need, I'll line up myself!"

Chen Duo casually remarked that she only reached the end of the 10-yuan window queue after all the other freshmen had finished selecting their tickets.

"Senior Chen Duo has such a great presence!"

"so beautiful!"

"She showed us around the school all morning today, and she didn't complain of being tired once!"

"Senior Chen Duo is my goddess!"

The freshmen, especially the boys, kept glancing back at Chen Duo, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

In their eyes, Chen Duo had a gentle voice, stable emotions, treated them all equally, answered all their questions, and was also fresh-faced and pure-looking.

She was practically their perfect ideal woman.

"Zhang Chulan, isn't Senior Chen Duo so beautiful?"

A fat man kept glancing at Chen Duo while excitedly patting Zhang Chulan in front of him.

"Ah, yes, she's so beautiful... A girl like that must have a lot of outstanding suitors!"

Upon hearing this, 18-year-old Zhang Chulan turned around and secretly glanced at Chen Duo at the back of the line next to him, then quickly looked away, a hint of longing and inferiority flashing in his eyes.

Chapter Thirty-Three: Zhang Chulan, who feels inferior, admires Chen Duo?

"No, I just asked Senior Zhao Fei. Although Senior Chen Duo is our senior, she is two years younger than all of us. She is a genius student who skipped grades from a young age. I heard that she studied to the level of a senior in college by herself when she was in her second year of high school. She was specially recruited by the school last year!"

The fat man said.

"Huh? Two years younger than us?"

Zhang Chulan's eyes widened.

"Yes, that's why she won't turn 18 until next year. A lot of senior students are eyeing her. Next year, there will definitely be many people pursuing Senior Chen Duo. So if you want to pursue her, you need to lay the foundation in advance. Now is a good opportunity for you and me. Let's go!"

Without a word, the fat man grabbed the stunned Zhang Chulan and pulled him away from the line, running to join the queue behind Chen Duo.

"This...no, this isn't a good idea!!"

Zhang Chulan nervously whispered to the fat man in front of him.

"Don't worry, Senior Chen Duo is such a nice person, she definitely won't mind!"

The fat man turned around and gave Zhang Chulan a reassuring look, then excitedly examined Chen Duo's back, from her hair to her clothes, then her pants and shoes...

"Are you two also going to eat the 10-yuan portion? You two go first!"

Chen Duo felt the gaze and turned around to see two freshmen. She then left the line and joined the queue behind them.

"This is so touching! Senior Chen Duo, she talked to me!!!"

The fat man trembled with excitement.

Zhang Chulan felt Chen Duo behind him, his body stiffened and he dared not turn around.

Soon, the line moved forward little by little. The fat man in front of Zhang Chulan had already started getting his food. After he finished, he even winked at Zhang Chulan while holding his food.

"It's up to you, Zhang Chulan. Seize this opportunity to win over Senior Chen Duo!"

Zhang Chulan understood the fat man's gaze, and felt both nervous and expectant.

"Young man, what do you want to hit?"

It's Zhang Chulan's turn.

"Um, I'd like one order of braised pork, one order of sweet and sour pork, one order of braised tofu, and some vegetables, thank you!"

Two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes for 10 yuan is not bad, mainly because the portions are large.

"Alright, I see you're a bit thin, so I'll give you the last bit of braised pork!"

The cafeteria lady readily gave Zhang Chulan a large portion and even jokingly teased him with a smile.

"Thank you, big sister! You are beautiful inside and out!"

Zhang Chulan's compliments came naturally, and coupled with his harmless smile, they made the older woman smile as well.

"Senior, I'm going to find a seat now!"

Zhang Chulan, carrying the food, mustered up his courage and said something to Chen Duo.

"Ok!"

Chen Duo put away her phone without looking up and went to the window, saying:

"Auntie, I'd like two servings. One is braised pork, shredded pork with sweet bean sauce, braised eggplant, and stir-fried dried tofu with green peppers!"

"And there's also a braised pork belly, braised duck, stir-fried eggs with chives, and stir-fried greens!"

Chen Duo ordered two portions, both of which contained braised pork, causing Zhang Chulan, who was about to leave, to stop in his tracks.

"I'm so sorry, honey, we're out of braised pork!"

"That's what the cafeteria lady said."

"there is none left?"

Chen Duo frowned.

"Why don't you get something else? There's plenty of other dishes. You know our cafeteria's braised pork is famously delicious; it'll be sold out if you come late!"

Seeing this, the older woman offered some words of advice.

"Is it really gone?"

Chen Duo looked up at the old woman as if hoping for a miracle.

In this way, both the aunt and Zhang Chulan next to her immediately understood that Chen Duo had a deep obsession with braised pork.

"Um, Senior Chen Duo, I have braised pork in this dish, and it's enough for about two servings. It's untouched. Why don't you take it?"

Zhang Chulan said.

"Thank you, here's 20 yuan!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Duo took Zhang Chulan's plate and then said to the cafeteria lady:

"Auntie, give me two portions. Zhang Chulan, what do you want?"

Chen Duo turned around and asked.

"Um, senior, do you know my name?"

Zhang Chulan looked pleasantly surprised.

"Correct!"

Chen Duo nodded slightly.

"I want braised duck and sweet and sour pork, plus braised tofu and greens!"

Zhang Chulan essentially just replaced braised pork with braised duck.

"Okay, this is yours. You go and eat first. I'll get another one!"

Chen Duo continued ordering food, carrying the plate that Zhang Chulan had used earlier.

"okay!"

Zhang Chulan immediately turned around excitedly to find a seat, and immediately spotted the only empty table next to Chen Qi.

"Excuse me, senior, may I sit here?"

Upon hearing the sound, Chen Qi looked up in surprise.

"newborn?"

Chen Qi recognized Zhang Chulan at a glance.

"Yes, senior, I see your table is the only one available. I hope you don't mind. But it's really strange, the other tables are so crowded, why is no one coming to this table?"

Zhang Chulan, ever the friendly type, put down his plate and smiled at Chen Qi, offering a compliment:

"Senior is so handsome! Even at Tianjin University, where handsome guys are everywhere, he's one of a kind. Is it because you're so handsome that they don't dare to sit next to you, afraid of being overshadowed?"

"Hehe, there's a reason they didn't come, but you have a sweet tongue, so you can sit here and eat!"

Chen Qi smiled slightly.

"Thank you so much, senior! But, senior, could my friend also come to this table later? Look, there are no seats left!"

Zhang Chulan continued.

"You still have friends?"

Chen Qi smiled and raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, that's Chen Duo, the senior student who's getting food over there. She's the one who gave us freshmen a tour of the school today. She spent the whole morning showing us around. She worked so hard!"

As Zhang Chulan spoke, he kept turning back to look at Chen Duo.

"Chen Duo..."

Chen Qi revealed a playful smile.

"Does the senior know Senior Chen Duo?"

Zhang Chulan suddenly turned around.

"Yes, we know each other. What, you want to pursue Chen Duo?"

Chen Qi asked noncommittally.

"How could that be? A goddess like Senior Chen Duo is naturally only worthy of being pursued by a god-like man like you. But I heard that Senior Chen Duo is not yet an adult!"

Zhang Chulan immediately replied.

"Yes, isn't that something many people are watching?"

As Chen Qi spoke, he glanced around and noticed that most of the men in the cafeteria were glancing at Chen Duo.

"Yeah, there are so many people who want to pursue Senior Chen Duo, but you seemed to be playing on your phone the whole time and didn't even look up at Senior Chen Duo once!"

Zhang Chulan suddenly asked in confusion.

Zhang Chulan has always been good at observation. In such a large cafeteria with so many people, he actually noticed that Chen Qi hadn't looked up at Chen Duo.

Of course, a large part of the reason is that Chen Qi's table was completely empty, which was quite noticeable.

However, this was enough to make Zhang Chulan take notice of Chen Qi.

Zhang Chulan, who originally wanted to minimize his presence, actually came to check on the situation because he was concerned about Senior Chen Duo.
