Chapter 289 Eating Noodles
Just consider it buying two bowls; that's very much in Ye Qing's style.

"Silly Na...you mean Yi Wenna?"

"That's right. Every time after school, she would drag me out to eat. As a result, it's been a week since school started, and I haven't touched the money in my student card much."

Ye Qing sighed with a headache: "And I found out that the school cafeteria can actually be paid for directly with mobile phones, so there's no need to use the student card at all. It's like the money was wasted."

"At least I don't have to hold my phone when I get food."

Ai Liang pointed out one of the advantages of a student ID card.

"So what if I'm holding a phone? I can hold it steadily with one hand!"

Ye Qing pouted and retorted with dissatisfaction.

Ai Liang gently tapped the table: "Watch your noise."

"what."

Ye Qing then realized that she had spoken a little too loudly.

People nearby cast strange glances at the two of them.

There are mostly men in the ramen shop.

However, most of their attention was focused on Ai Liang, with occasional glances stolen at Ye Qing.

Ai Liang didn't even need to use mind reading to know what they were thinking.

These people are filled with nothing but envy and jealousy.

Fortunately, a waiter came over with a tray at that moment, temporarily resolving the situation.

The ramen looks very appetizing.

Ye Qing's pork bone noodles came with a sliced ​​soft-boiled egg, three generous slices of char siu, some scallions and cilantro, and a small ring of seaweed arranged along the rim of the bowl.

Ai Liang's mushroom soup noodles are topped with sliced ​​shiitake mushrooms, straw mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, and other vegetables.

However, the waiter mistakenly placed the large bowl of pork bone noodle soup in front of Ai Liang, and the small bowl of mushroom noodle soup in front of Ye Qing.

Ai Liang glanced at the waiter and silently pushed the large bowl of pork bone noodles to the opposite side.

The waiter paused for a moment, then gave Ai Liang an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry."

After saying that, he hurriedly returned to the food pick-up area with the tray.

"puff."

Across the table, Ye Qing, watching Ai Liang interact with the waiter, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Ai Liang pulled out a pair of disposable chopsticks, puzzled: "Is this funny?"

Most people, faced with Ai Liang's expressionless face and cold, questioning tone, would probably subconsciously assume that Ai Liang was angry.

But Ye Qing, who knew Ai Liang's personality well, knew that he was just speaking normally.

"Yeah, don't you think it's interesting?"

Ye Qing tilted her head with a chuckle and asked, "The way you pushed the noodles over without saying a word was so cute~"

"..."

No matter how you look at it, Ai Liang doesn't feel like she fits the word "cute" at all.

He felt that his way of thinking was no longer keeping up with today's young people.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and eat your noodles. Don't you have homework to do later?"

To ease Ai Liang's embarrassment, Ye Qing picked up a mouthful of ramen noodles with her chopsticks, blew on it, and slurped it up.

Ai Liang, who adheres to the principle of not talking while eating or sleeping, has also started eating her own mushroom soup noodles.

Before eating the noodles, he first scooped a spoonful of soup into his mouth.

The umami flavor of the mushroom soup stimulates the taste buds and spreads in the mouth.

To be honest, the taste was really good, and the side dishes were plentiful.

Moreover, the soup base should be simmered the night before and sold the next day.

Unlike some restaurants that are reluctant to throw away leftover broth and simply mix freshly made broth with the old broth, resulting in a strange taste, this restaurant does not.

As for those businesses that use instant soup packets, there's no need to even mention them; they're simply not comparable to this store.

Ai Liang finally understood why this store, which was more than ten yuan more expensive than other stores, still had so many customers.

You get what you pay for; it's rare to see a restaurant that puts so much effort into its business.

Fortunately, this store is located near the Experimental Middle School.

Students who can afford the high tuition fees of the Experimental Middle School generally come from families with good financial conditions and spending power, and are willing to pay for it.

If it were near a regular school, business probably wouldn't be as good as it is now.

Ye Qing, having finished most of her bowl of noodles, set her sights on Ai Liang.

She asked with some curiosity, "Could I try the mushroom soup?"

Ai Liang didn't say anything, but just bit off the ramen in her mouth and pushed the bowl forward.

"Thanks! Now I can order other flavors I haven't tried before next time I come!"

Ye Qing unceremoniously placed her soup spoon into Ai Liang's bowl.

She gently blew on the soup to cool it down with the spoon before bringing it to her lips.

Unlike the refreshing taste of pork bone soup, Ye Qing couldn't help but sigh with a relaxed breath.

"Hmm, whether it's the beef soup last time, or the pork bone soup and mushroom soup this time, every soup is delicious... I've tried them all, so it will be hard to choose when I come to eat noodles again in the future."

Ye Qing looked distressed, as if she had difficulty making a decision.

"If you don't know what to choose, just order from the menu."

Ai Liang gave the most reasonable advice.

"Well, that makes sense."

Ye Qing nodded and glanced at Ai Liang, whose expression remained calm and composed: "Would you like to try my pork bone soup?"

"what?"

Ai Liang let out a soft sigh filled with doubt.

"Come and have a taste, don't be shy."

Without saying a word, Ye Qing scooped a spoonful of soup from her own bowl and brought it to Ai Liang.

It gave off an attitude of "If you don't drink, I'll keep holding it up."

"……Fine."

Ye Qing has gone to such lengths; it wouldn't be right not to drink.

However, Ai Liang did not lean out to drink the spoonful of soup from Ye Qing's hand. Instead, she held the soup spoon and gestured for Ye Qing to pour the soup into her own spoon.

Ye Qing ordered pork bone ramen, which had more oil and a stronger flavor.

The milky white broth has a hint of sweetness, completely different from mushroom soup.

However, Ai Liang has her own preferences, so if she had to choose...

He still prefers mushroom soup.

"How about it?"

Ye Qing couldn't wait to know Ai Liang's thoughts.

"It tastes good, but I still prefer shiitake mushrooms."

After Ai Liang finished speaking, she continued to eat her mushroom soup noodles.

Ye Qing exclaimed, "As expected of a master chef, I think they all taste pretty good."

"Let's eat quickly."

Ai Liang didn't want Ye Qing to do anything outrageous that would attract attention from those around them.

After offering a word of advice, I ignored her completely.

Ye Qing raised her eyebrows slightly and, under the table, gently touched Ai Liang's shoes with her toes to express her dissatisfaction.

However, they didn't chat idly.

The two single guys at the next table had only eaten half of their noodles.

But watching Ai Liang and Ye Qing interact, I suddenly felt full for some reason.

They exchanged a glance, silently left their seats, and headed for the door.

Ai Liang ate his noodles very slowly because he knew that Ye Qing would definitely go and ask for more noodles halfway through.

Sure enough, with only half a bowl of soup left.

Ye Qing picked up the large bowl, strode towards the food counter, and then slowly walked back with a bowl of noodles in her hand.

By the time the two finished their meal, it was already 7:20.

The balcony outside the classroom was filled with people who came out for their morning reading.

Yi Wenna happened to be among them.
