I won 90 million, all I want to do is lie down and relax!

Lu Zhaoyang straightened his back subconsciously, feeling an indescribable sense of pride.

He wasn't a vain person before, but at this moment his heart was truly filled with pride.

Xia Ran took a bite with great seriousness and anticipation, her eyes lighting up.

"Wow, this is delicious! So this is what grilled cold noodles taste like. It's a little different from what I expected."

Xia Ran looked at the food in front of her with delight, while Lu Zhaoyang was stunned for a moment.

"What? Is this your first time eating grilled cold noodles?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Wow!

Lu Zhaoyang exclaimed in surprise.

He shook his head in slight surprise.

He thought all girls liked this kind of snack.

After Xia Ran had eaten two bites and tasted the wontons, she also gave them a very high rating.

Lu Zhaoyang then took a bite.

Hmm, it seems to taste the same as always.

This is something to be thankful for.

"This tastes pretty good. It seems like my treat to this meal was well worth it."

Now that Lu Zhaoyang knows this is Xia Ran's first time eating cold noodles, he naturally feels it's great value for money.

He subtly observed the beautiful, almost ethereal girl opposite him.

They were all wondering if Xia Ran had grown up drinking dew.

No, she's living like an ordinary person right now!

This idea made Lu Zhaoyang laugh.

Suddenly, a burst of laughter rang out from the doorway.

Lu Zhaoyang immediately spotted three students wearing Yunzhao school uniforms walking in.

Xia Ran, with her back to the door, paused upon hearing the sound, turned around, and glanced back thoughtfully.

However, she didn't say anything and turned back to continue eating.

Xia Ran stood up just as she was finishing her meal.

"Wait me a moment."

She said something to Lu Zhaoyang and then walked towards the three boys.

The three of them arrived late, but they were almost finished eating.

Seeing this scene, Lu Zhaoyang seemed to realize something.

Sure enough, when Xia Ran approached, the three of them stared at her dumbfounded, as if they had seen a ghost.

They were laughing and joking, but in an instant they fell silent.

"Teacher Xia."

The three of them looked at each other.

"Why are you eating here at this hour?"

Xia Ran stared at the three of them, crossed her arms, and asked coolly.

Lu Zhaoyang found the spectacle quite amusing.

Running into a teacher while skipping class must be a terrifying experience for the student involved.

But for onlookers who just want to see what's going on, it becomes quite interesting.

Not only Lu Zhaoyang, but other customers in the store who were eating also watched the excitement with great interest.

"The three of you go back right now. If you're not in the classroom in five minutes..."

Xia Ran stared coldly at the three of them, speaking in an arrogant tone.

Xia Ran watched the three flee in disarray, like a victorious general.

Lu Zhaoyang walked outside the store, came to Xia Ran's side, and clapped his hands gently.

Xia Ran turned around, looking somewhat embarrassed.

He realized that he had just been seen disciplining his students.

"Teacher Xia, I have a question."

Lu Zhaoyang spoke with a deep expression.

Xia Ran stared at him with wide eyes. Lu Zhaoyang pondered for two seconds before slowly saying, "It seems your beloved disciples haven't paid their bill yet."

"It's okay, I'll pay."

Xia Ran paused for a moment, but did not hesitate at all.

"No way, it's a deal, I'm treating today."

Lu Zhaoyang insisted on his principles, "However, I'm worried... we might not have enough cash."

Before Xia Ran could say anything, Lu Zhaoyang waved his hand and spoke again, "Wait for me, I'll go in and check it out."

Xia Ran nodded, watching intently as Lu Zhaoyang walked into the store.

Lu Zhaoyang walked to the food serving window, glanced inside, and his gaze fell on the head chef.

He then walked to the side and directly lifted the curtain at the door.

"Boss, check please, including those three students from before."

Lu Zhaoyang pointed to the table where they had just sat and eaten with the three students.

The shop owner, wearing a mask, peeked out the window and quickly calculated: "It's 84 yuan in total."

"Okay."

Lu Zhaoyang took out some money and said with a smile, "Uncle Zhao, Zhao Xing is still in the south. He hasn't come back recently, has he?"

The boss looked at Lu Zhaoyang in surprise upon hearing the voice, not immediately recognizing him, and replied, "He hasn't come back since after the New Year."

"Uncle Zhao, I'm Xingzai's classmate. I used to come to your shop to eat a lot in the past few years."

"Oh~"

The boss took off his mask and looked at Lu Zhaoyang with surprise: "Oh, I remember, I remember, but I can't recall the name right now, it's like Ah Xing's!"

"Yes, Uncle, we sit at desks one behind the other. My name is Lu Zhaoyang."

"Yes, yes, Zhaoyang, oh my, you guys still have a gathering every year, I even heard A-Xing mention you..."

Xia Ran stood outside the store, watching Lu Zhaoyang with his back to the door, talking to someone inside.

Although their expressions were unclear, they seemed to be having a lively conversation.

After a while, Lu Zhaoyang finally came out.

Xia Ran stared intently at him, but the latter remained expressionless.

"Teacher Xia, I have bad news and good news."

Xia Ran nodded without saying anything, but her attention was completely drawn to Lu Zhaoyang.

Lu Zhaoyang sighed: "The bad news is, we really don't have enough money."

Xia Ran nodded, still not thinking it was a big problem.

"The good news is, it's only five dollars short."

Xia Ran nodded, pouting.

No problem, just scan a code for five yuan and it's easily solved.

"But Teacher Xia, we agreed that our maximum allowance for this meal would be seventy-seven..."

"But……"

"No buts, Teacher Xia. I think we have to keep our promise since we made it. If we really have to blame someone, I think we can only blame the boss for being unlucky!" Lu Zhaoyang said confidently.

Xia Ran: "?"

Xia Ran thought she had misheard.

"I told the boss..."

Lu Zhaoyang suddenly lowered his voice, "I gave him over seventy yuan first, saying I'd come find you to get my phone..."

His voice lowered even further: "By the way, Teacher Xia, have you ever heard of the term 'dining and dashing'?"

Xia Ran shook her head blankly, then nodded.

I've seen it in movies and TV shows.

"Teacher Xia, you're lucky! You got a free meal for just over seventy yuan!"

Under Xia Ran's stunned gaze, Lu Zhaoyang said seriously, "That's right, we're going to run away. Of course, we can't really call this a free meal. I guess the boss is too lazy to chase us. We're only short a few dollars, right?"

Xia Ran stared blankly, still taken aback by Lu Zhaoyang's idea.

She was a respectable teacher, and she never imagined that one day she would dine and dash, especially when it was only a few dollars.

I clearly feel it's immoral and shouldn't be done.

But when I heard it, I actually felt very excited. Why is that?

At this moment, Xia Ran's heart was already racing.

"Teacher Xia!"

Before Xia Ran could say anything, Lu Zhaoyang gestured for her to follow.
