This is a bizarre rule, isn't it? It's supposed to grant me many children and good fortune

three days later.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the seaside street in the Anning quadrant was already bustling with activity.

A handwritten welcome sign stands at the entrance of Rose Wharf Cafe.

The words were drawn stroke by stroke by Aque, with a dark green oil-based pen outlining the words "Opening Today, Welcome" on the white canvas.

A simple rose was drawn next to it, with neat and vivid lines.

Two rows of flower baskets were placed at the entrance. Su Wan had ordered them from the flower shop next door. The light pink and creamy white carnations were mixed together, surrounding the rose wall.

The morning sunlight slanted down, bathing the face of "Anime Su Wan" on the wall in a light golden hue, her bright smile seeming to greet everyone who passed by with a "good morning."

At eight o'clock sharp, the crackling sound of firecrackers rang out, exploding into a festive red hue on the quiet street.

After the smoke cleared, Su Wan stood at the door, straightened her apron, took a deep breath, and personally pushed open the oak door with glass panels.

"Rose Wharf is officially open!"

Ah Ying and Ah Que were handing out small opening gifts at the entrance.

Each person received a small bag of handmade cookies, packaged in a kraft paper bag tied with a light green hemp rope at the top, with a small "Rose Wharf" logo card hanging on it.

The card was designed by Tang Xiaorui herself, and the design is the silhouette of the cartoon girl on the wall, simple yet cute.

The first customers to come in were the owners of the shops next door.

The uncle who sells handmade leather goods walked in with his wife, sat down by the window, and each ordered a coconut latte.

The middle-aged man picked up the glass, took a sip, paused, then took another sip, before looking up at the bar and giving a thumbs-up.

"This thing... is pretty good."

His wife chimed in, "It's just the right amount of sweet, the coconut aroma is wonderfully pleasant, and the coffee flavor isn't overpowering."

The uncle nodded repeatedly, the two exchanged a glance, and then each picked up their cups and took a sip.

The owner of the corner grocery store was passing by with her daughter.

The little girl, about seven or eight years old, suddenly stopped as she passed the door, tugged at her mother's clothes, and looked up at the silhouette of a cartoon girl's profile on the outer wall.

"Mommy, look," the little girl said softly, "she's smiling at me."

Su Wan was greeting guests at the door when she heard this, so she bent down and winked at the little girl:

"She wants to be friends with you. Why don't you come in and have a seat?"

The two entered the store.

The proprietress ordered a coconut latte and a warm coconut milk for the little girl.

The proprietress took a sip, her eyes lighting up with delight: "This tastes really good."

The little girl eagerly leaned over, her little hands clinging to her mother's arm, wanting a taste.

The landlady moved the cup aside and tapped her nose with a smile:

"It's best for children not to drink coffee."

The little girl pouted, puffed out her cheeks, and earnestly declared, "Then I just want to grow up quickly."

Seeing this, Lin Feng casually tore a piece of paper from his sketchbook and sketched a simple drawing with a few strokes.

The little girl in the painting is standing with her hands on her hips, head tilted back, and the corners of her mouth turned up high.

He walked over and handed it to the little girl: "This is for you."

The little girl took the drawing paper, her eyes lit up, she twirled around holding it, and then turned to her mother and shouted:

"Mom! Quickly forward this to the family group chat! Let Grandpa and Grandma see it!"

........................

By 9 a.m., the restaurant was already full.

The aroma of fresh coconut latte wafted out from the open doorway, carried by the sea breeze for half a block.

Several passersby who were originally just watching the commotion at the door were drawn in by the sweet and mellow aroma and couldn't help but step inside.

The line to order stretched over a hundred meters from the bar to the store entrance. Ah Ying's wrists were moving incredibly fast, while Ah Que stood behind the coffee machine, sweating profusely, but her smile never faded.

"Three coconut lattes! Less ice!"

"Okay, just a moment!"

"Two hot coconut lattes and one Americano—"

"Here it comes!"

The receipts on the bar were piled up like a small mountain. While brewing coffee, Ah-Que shouted to Ah-Ying:

"We're almost out of coconut milk! Old Zhou—Old Zhou, go to the warehouse and get two more boxes!"

Old Zhou responded, turned around, lifted the curtain of the kitchen, and went inside.

........................

At 2 p.m., the store finally got a short break.

Ah Ying slumped in her chair, gulping down water, while Ah Que lay face down on the bar, muttering, "My arm is going to be ruined."

Xiao Ren sat on the bench by the door, editing a video on her phone, saying she was going to post it on social media for promotion; she even had the title in mind.

[The most romantic corner of the Anning Quadrant, Rose Wharf awaits you]

Old Zhou sat next to Xiao Ren, slowly exhaled a smoke ring, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and muttered to himself, "It's done."

Lin Feng stood at the door, leaning against the door frame, gazing at the shimmering sea in the distance.

Su Wan walked up from behind and naturally leaned into his arms, resting her head against his chest.

"How was the opening today...? I'd say it was a success?"

Lin Feng lowered his head, resting his chin on the top of her head, and chuckled softly.

"Success is not enough. From today onwards, Rose Wharf will be the hottest place in the Tranquility Quadrant."

The sea breeze blew by, ruffling the stray hairs on Su Wan's forehead.

The "Anime Su Wan" on the wall blinked her bright eyes in the light and shadow.

The flower baskets at the entrance still exude a faint fragrance of flowers.

The shop is still filled with the rich, sweet aroma of fresh coconut latte.

Rose Wharf has officially set sail.

........................

At 11 p.m., Lin Feng and Su Wan returned to the mansion. When they opened the living room door, warm yellow light immediately shone out.

Xia Ning, Leng Meng, Vivian, Tang Xiaofu, and Tang Xiaorui sat around the coffee table, with a deck of cards spread out on it.

Leng Meng had the largest stack of chips in front of her, while Vivian had the smallest, and was pouting as she threw out her last two cards.

The five women looked up at the same time and stood up almost simultaneously to greet her.

"You're back so late, you must be exhausted?" Xia Ning was the first to speak.

"Would you like some late-night snacks?" Tang Xiaofu asked.

Lin Feng waved his hand with a smile: "Forget about late-night snacks, what I want most right now is a massage, my shoulders feel like they don't belong to me anymore."

Vivian casually tossed the remaining cards back onto the table, took a few steps around to Lin Feng's back, and placed her hands on his shoulders:

"Go lie down on the sofa, I'll give you a massage."

Lin Feng was about to walk towards the sofa when suddenly...

A cold, grand call to action suddenly exploded above everyone's heads without warning.

[WARNING: A new dungeon for the Rules of the Strange is ready.]

[The Chosen One, Lin Feng, is being forcibly conscripted!]

[Countdown: 59 seconds...]

At the same time, the system's voice sounded in Lin Feng's ear:

[Special privileges are available for this instance: Both ladies can be locked into the instance and enter as NPCs. Once inside, all their memories of the host will be temporarily erased.]

Please make a choice within ten seconds.

Without hesitation, Lin Feng immediately gave himself the answer: "Leng Meng, Vivian."

[Lock successful.]
