I'm in high school, is my dating system working correctly?

The noodle shop, filled with the aroma of freshly cooked noodles, was half full.

One of the tables ordered an extra-large bowl of ramen.

The bowl was bigger than Lu Yu's face plus Cheng Bailu's face.

The noodles seem to be in the Shaanxi style, with chili peppers floating on the soup, making them exceptionally tempting.

The four girls sitting around the bowl of noodles gave off a feeling of a giant goblin and four female knights.

They were taking photos, checking in, and posting them on social media, but as for the noodles, they were probably ignored.

Lu Yu's nostrils twitched slightly.

Ok?

How come three of these four girls smelled of the same men's hair gel?

Could it be that...

do not care.

Lu Yu was really hungry.

I'm so hungry, so hungry, so hungry. I'm really hungry.

I don't care what kind of steamed buns they are, like xiaolongbao, char siu bao, custard sesame dou bao, red bean paste dou bao, big meat dou bao, vegetable dou bao, or soup dumplings, as long as they're edible.

Oh, this is a noodle shop. Sorry, let's try again.

"Boss, I want to try the extra-large bowl of ramen."

Lu Yu called out to the boss.

Everyone in the store looked over.

"Are you sure you want to take on this challenge? It's only for one person."

The boss glanced at Cheng Bailu beside him and patiently explained, worried that the two students might misunderstand.

"Yes, I'll eat by myself."

Lu Yu looked at Cheng Bailu.

"What do you want to eat? I'll pay for it all."

"Huh? I'm not very hungry... Then, I'll have a bowl of clear soup with egg noodles."

Cheng Bailu, who had initially wanted to decline, saw that Lu Yu was very insistent and finally ordered the cheapest bowl of noodles in the shop.

"Young man, there's a lot of noodles here. If you can't finish it, you can share it with your girlfriend."

The boss offered a kind reminder.

Girlfriend?

Cheng Bailu hesitated, glancing furtively at Lu Yu who was still holding her wrist.

"Bring it up quickly."

Lu Yu had already impatiently scanned the code to pay, pulled her to sit down, and then let go of her hand.

He didn't deny it... he probably just didn't care, yeah.

Cheng Bailu muttered to herself.

"become."

The boss felt that it was impossible to reason with a suicidal person, so he turned around and went back to the kitchen.

hungry.

Lu Yu's mind was already filled with images of food.

Hmm, let's count the food to calm down.

Yannan Roast Duck, Mapo Tofu, Garlic Pork Belly, Dan Dan Noodles, Hot and Sour Rice Noodles, Fried Sauce Noodles, Hairy Crab, Wenchang Chicken, Roast Suckling Pig, Dongpo Pork, Wonton Noodles, Spicy Hot Pot, Lamb Skewers, Fried Rice Cakes, Sauce Ribs, Sweet and Sour Pork Tenderloin...

I can't calm down at all.

Lu Yu had already picked up his chopsticks. If he had a bowl, he probably would have kept tapping it with sunflower seeds like the cat in the GIF.

I haven't eaten for a minute.jpg

Cheng Bailu looked at Lu Yu beside her, feeling a little worried.

Could it be because I wasn't full at lunchtime because they gave me a portion of food?

But that bowl of ramen was so much... Could he really finish it?

If you can't finish your food, you should be able to take it home after paying, right? Well, even though it might clump together, it's still better than wasting it.

Meanwhile, other customers in the store slowed down their eating when they saw someone was going to take on the challenge, wanting to watch the excitement.

First, the owner served Cheng Bailu a bowl of clear broth egg noodles, and then quickly brought over a heavy bowl.

"Give."

When the bowl of noodles was placed on the table, the table clearly shook slightly.

"In the few days since we opened, only three people who work out have successfully completed the challenge. They barely managed it. Be careful and don't push yourself too hard."

The boss kindly emphasized it again.

This "big eater challenge" is essentially a marketing gimmick. If you're lucky, some internet celebrity with a huge appetite might come to take the challenge, which also serves as publicity for the restaurant.

For ordinary people, it's enough to just join in the fun. They can just pay honestly; it's not expensive, only sixty yuan.

"Boss, let's start the timer."

Lu Yu picked up his chopsticks.

Seeing his confident demeanor, the boss sighed and pressed the button on the electronic clock at the cashier, starting a ten-minute countdown.

"Young people these days, they're so stubborn..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Lu Yu has already begun to inhale the storm.

"Holy crap?"

The two men at the next table couldn't help but curse as they watched Lu Yu eat.

This must be a reincarnation of a starving ghost.

When eating noodles normally, take one bite at a time with your chopsticks. Especially for competitive eating like this, if you can eat the noodles, don't drink the soup, otherwise your stomach will be full very quickly.

The faster you eat, the less you eat.

But Lu Yu, with his eyes closed, slurped the soup and noodles into the broth.

"Eating like this, you'll be full in just three or four bites, right?"

"He's impressive if he can eat half of it."

The two men muttered to themselves.

Wow, that's amazing!

The four girls leaned closer, watching Lu Yu devour his food, and whispered.

Because Lu Yu is quite handsome, some girls even secretly took pictures of him.

"Take it easy."

The boss hadn't expected this.

Previously, when competitive eaters ate, they would just pick up food and show off, not stuff it like this.

Don't eat something that causes a stomach hemorrhage and lands you in the hospital.

The boss instinctively picked up his phone.

Cheng Bailu stared blankly at Lu Yu.

So Lu Yu can eat that much?

That little bit of food at noon wasn't enough for him, was it?

He even gave me the best food...

While it wasn't to the point of "I deserve to die," she still felt a slight pang of guilt.

Lu Yu completely misunderstands other people's thoughts.

He's just a complete novice now.

Heaven creates all things to nourish humankind, yet humankind has nothing to repay Heaven.

I'm going to eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat!!!

Eat the noodles! Eat the sliced ​​meat! Eat the vegetables! Eat the chili peppers! Eat the broth! Eat the scallions! Eat the cilantro! Eat the porcelain bowl!

No, you really can't eat this.

The hard, toothy feel of the bowl's rim brought Lu Yu back to his senses.

Wait, where's my noodles?

All that's left is an empty bowl.

Not a single drop of soup was left.

"Boss, I'm finished eating."

Lu Yu raised his head.

The shop was completely silent; you could hear a pin drop. Everyone was watching him.

My gaze swept over the timer on the cashier's counter.

There are a little over two minutes left.

within sight.

Indifferent, cold words jumped out from the timer.

The intense eating brought a great sense of fullness, and the energy intake improved your symptoms, temporarily ending the binge.

The madman's knowledge has profoundly altered the folds of your cerebral cortex, enhancing your vision and allowing you to see more things you've never noticed before.

"Holy crap?"

The boss couldn't help but swear and hurriedly came over to check.

Lu Yu's eating manners were so exaggerated that I didn't even have time to react.

He poked his head into the bowl, and the owner even unconcerned about getting dirty, ran his finger across the bottom of the bowl.

Not a single drop was left.

"...You finished eating in just over seven minutes?"

"Small body, big stomach?"

The two people at the next table stared in disbelief.

I used to think those mukbang videos with huge stomachs online were edited and spliced ​​together, but now that I've seen one in person, it's really amazing.

"Wow, how did this guy do that? Did he do magic?"

"I think he looks slim in clothes but has a muscular physique underneath. Maybe he's a sports student."

"His mouth was like a black hole just now, he can really eat!"

"It's a pity he has a girlfriend. She eats so much but doesn't look fat. Her figure must be...wow."

The four girls were whispering, and Lu Yu's [Beginner Listening] picked up all of their conversations.

Shrimp heads!

Lu Yu ignored them and looked at the girl beside him.

Cheng Bailu met his gaze, then looked at the clear soup egg noodles in front of her, and slowly pushed it toward Lu Yu.

"How about you eat this bowl?"

"No, no, I'm completely full. I don't want to eat noodles for a month."

Lu Yu waved his hand, indicating that Cheng Bailu should eat slowly.

Then he looked at the boss.

"Boss, did I succeed in the challenge?"

The boss was still somewhat dazed.

The three gym-goers who were there earlier took almost ten minutes to finish their meal.

These days, high school students can show off in seven minutes?

The boss felt as if he had seen something indescribable, and his head was starting to throb.

His family's monthly food expenses must be very high!

"...Yes, of course it counts."

The boss hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"What about the challenge reward..."

Lu Yu took out his phone.

The boss's face turned bitter.

You have successfully claimed your reward. Keep up the good work and embrace a wonderful life!

Including the 60 I paid earlier, I received 560 yuan.

Lu Yu waited patiently for Cheng Bailu to finish eating before getting up, and the two left the noodle shop together.

"...So, you're usually not getting enough to eat?"

While waiting for the train at the platform, Cheng Bailu stole a glance at Lu Yu's stomach.

"No, no, I was just really hungry because I exercised today."

Lu Yu didn't want his image as someone with a big appetite to be fixed.

"oh oh……"

Cheng Bailu nodded thoughtfully, pursed her lips, and pondered for a moment.

"If you're hungry, I can give you something to eat..."

ha?

Lu Yu looked over.

"What I mean is, if you're hungry at lunchtime, we can eat together, and I'll get you extra food."

She explained it again.

Got it, top students habitually skip steps when solving problems and like to save words when they speak, right?

Rice is free in the cafeteria, but to avoid waste, each person is only given a maximum of four ounces.

But I really don't have a big appetite!

Lu Yu originally wanted to deny it.

But he quickly figured out the unspoken meaning behind the girl's words.

Is this an invitation to have lunch together later, to be a lunch buddy?

Well known.

In modern society, dining buddies can have a stronger bond than boyfriends and girlfriends.

If you're heartbroken, be sad for a few days, then you can always find someone new.

If I lose my meal buddy, then the sky will really fall.

"Well, if we happen to run into each other in the cafeteria, I'll call you."

Faced with this ambiguous probing, Lu Yu gave his reply.

"Um."

The girl nodded slightly. A gentle evening breeze blew by, and she looked in the direction the bus had come from.

In this way, she prevented the setting sun from seeing the smile that she couldn't hide at the corner of her mouth.

home.

The aftereffects of eating a large bowl of ramen meant for four people are starting to appear.

I'm dizzy from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Lu Yu told his family that he had eaten out and went back to his room, intending to lie down for a while.

I opened my eyes and saw that it was already ten o'clock.

Moreover, he was covered with a blanket, and the air conditioning in the room was already on.

Thankfully, she didn't faint from the shock, otherwise it could have been a family tragedy.

The living room was quiet; Feng Jiahe and his wife had probably gone out for some alone time again.

I've already done most of my homework at school today, except for English and biology.

Lu Yu decided to indulge himself a little. He had just turned on his computer when his phone vibrated.

[Qian]: The pottery I made is fired, I'll pick it up tomorrow.

[Shallow]: Remember to bring your English homework.

[Qian]: If you dare to stand me up, I'll kill you.
