Chapter 13 The Flavor of Steamed Buns During Break Time
Lin Zikang was stuffing large mouthfuls of steamed buns into his mouth.
Both lips were covered in the oil from the steamed bun, looking shiny and oily.
The girl sitting in front of him was a quiet and refined-looking girl, who was curiously looking at his hands.
"Lin Zikang, your steamed buns look pretty delicious. How about I trade you my grandma's homemade pie for them?"
Lin Zikang shook his head vigorously, like a rattle-drum.
"I'm not giving them to you. These eight buns aren't even enough for me."
"Don't be so stingy."
As he spoke, the person at the table in front handed him a super thick, handmade beef pie.
"Look how much filling my grandma stuffed in there, one is equivalent to two, let's swap."
Lin Zikang glanced at the beef pie, then at the steamed bun in his hand, and said reluctantly.
"Alright then, you're only allowed to change it this once."
The girl at the table in front of me smiled and took the steamed bun from me.
The moment I tasted it, I was amazed!
"This is so delicious! I thought my grandma's cooking was the best in the world, but these buns are even better than hers!"
"That means you're not eating enough," Lin Zikang said dismissively.
The girl at the table in front of me smiled and said, "My grandmother used to be a chef at a state-run restaurant."
Lin Zikang: "...Never mind what I said."
The girl at the table in front of me ate her steamed buns very politely, unlike Lin Zikang who wolfed them down.
However, their conversation was overheard by other students, who became curious and tried to trade their valuables with Lin Zikang.
Soon, Lin Zikang's table was filled with a lot of food.
Meanwhile, the girl's words also piqued the curiosity of Lin Zikang's deskmate.
"Lin Zikang, let me try one of your steamed buns."
Lin Zikang stepped aside, adopting a protective stance towards his food.
"Forget it, didn't you say you weren't interested yesterday?"
"I think I'm interested again. Can I have a taste?"
"That won't do either, not a single bite."
"Boss Lin."
"Kang Kang~"
"Godfather! Is this alright now?"
Out of respect for being called "godfather," Lin Zikang reluctantly handed over the steamed bun, not forgetting to give him some instructions.
"Eat less, I can't even get enough to eat by myself."
My deskmate opened his mouth wide and took a big bite, and half a steamed bun was gone.
His eyes lit up as soon as the steamed bun entered his mouth.
"Wow, are these steamed buns really that delicious? They smell so good! Even after sitting for so long, the skin is still so soft and the flavor is still so good! If they were fresh out of the steamer, the aroma would be irresistible!"
After saying that, his deskmate tried to take another bite when he wasn't looking.
Lin Zikang had already seen through the other party's scheme and immediately stuffed the remaining half into his mouth.
"It's gone!"
Left with no other choice, his deskmate had to say something.
"Then godfather, could you bring me four tomorrow? I'll give you a dollar for the delivery, okay?"
Several classmates who had tried the steamed buns also chimed in.
"I want four too."
"Lin Zikang, don't forget me. Just bring me three."
"Three aren't enough to fill a tooth gap, I need six."
"I want some too! I want some too! These buns are so delicious, I want four!"
Lin Zikang had anticipated this scene, and calmly raised his hand, saying...
"If you want to eat, register here, pay first, then pick up your food. There's a delivery fee of one yuan per person, and it will be delivered on time tomorrow morning."
The voice just fell.
Money came in like snowflakes.
"Bring it to me! Bring it to me!"
"Me too!"
"Don't forget me, register me!"
Lin Zikang: Oh my, I'm so happy~ I can fill my little treasury again.
The short break between classes passed quickly.
Another tough day is about to begin.
the other side.
Chen Yuan didn't wake up until almost noon.
I've been getting up too early these past few days, and I have to start working as soon as I get up, so I'm not getting enough sleep.
Even if you don't feel tired, it can't replace sleep.
Chen Yuan got up and stretched, then made himself lunch.
Since Chen Youyou wasn't home, he simply stir-fried some vegetables and ate some rice.
They're eating right now.
His phone received several notification sounds.
Upon opening it, I found it was sent by Su Qingxue.
[Good afternoon, senior. Have you had lunch yet?]
I have something I'd like to discuss with you.
Chen Yuan replied.
[I'm eating, what's up?]
The other party replied to the message almost instantly.
Here's the thing, I'd like to visit Professor Chen this weekend. Would you like to come back with me?
Of course, if you don't have time, that's okay too; we can schedule another time.
[I just realized that it had been a long time since I'd been back to my alma mater or seen Teacher Chen, and since I happened to run into you this time, I thought I'd go and visit you.]
Chen Yuan replied.
【Sure, after the breakfast shop closes on weekends, I can bring Youyou back with you. I haven't been home in a long time.】
That's great! I'll wait for you at the breakfast shop.
【OK. 】
After replying, Chen Yuan casually put his phone aside.
Unlike Chen Yuan's casual demeanor, Su Qingxue on the other end of the phone was trembling slightly as she typed.
She breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Chen Yuan had agreed.
"I'm so nervous! I've never been this nervous before, not even when I'm giving a speech on stage..."
Su Qingxue let out a small breath.
She blinked hard with her beautiful eyes, trying to ease her tension.
At this moment, the girl sitting opposite her burst out laughing when she saw her like this.
"Su Qingxue, Su Qingxue, it's just a relationship, is it really necessary to be so pathetic?"
"Jin Xiaoruo, can you please stop making fun of people who have never been in a relationship? Do you think everyone is as experienced in love as you?"
Jin Xiaoruo was Su Qingxue's best friend during her four years of university.
With her long, flowing waves like seaweed, her prominent breasts, and her alluring face, she easily made it into the school's top ten beauty list.
Compared to Su Qingxue, who never dates and is very chaste, Jin Xiaoruo has a lot of dating experience.
She has one boyfriend after another, and there's never a gap between her relationships.
That is why Su Qingxue specially hired her as her strategist.
Jin Xiaoruo took a sip of coffee with a satisfied smile and began her little lesson on love.
"Alright, alright, I already know what kind of person he is."
"But let me tell you, based on your description, they probably never saw you as a woman."
"Another die-hard straight man."
"Your journey to win back your husband won't be easy."
