Crossover Anime: Miss, please don't do this, I still have a silly cat to raise.

Everything—the soup, the noodles, the toppings—was gathered in that small spoon, as if it had coalesced into a tiny world.

Uncle Koyama's pupils dilated involuntarily—no, wait! It's the mini ramen eating method! Every bite is a concentrated essence, allowing you to fully enjoy the flavor of the entire ramen!

However, if this continues, the time required will be very long, and the remaining noodles will definitely become soggy... Wait! The noodles she chose were extra firm!

Was all of this part of her plan? This young girl has an incredibly high shrewd wit...

No, there are still experts!

As if given a command, Lu Nan and Dai Miao also began their actions. Lu Nan stretched out his chopsticks, gently pinched a handful of noodles, and slurped them into his mouth, never letting go. As he sucked, the entire noodle soup seemed to swirl slightly.

Dai Miao quickly picked up her chopsticks and began to drink soup, slurp up a mouthful of noodles, eat a side dish, and then drink soup again, slurp up a mouthful of noodles... in a very steady cycle.

Uncle Xiaoshan stared blankly at all of this. These two people clearly looked so young, so why?

Why does it look so skillful?

Chapter 41 Fujiwara Chika

But it's not over yet! It's far from over!

While their method of eating is certainly good, it still has some weaknesses compared to the "water cycle" method, which has become a complete system.

That young man with black hair, while eating like this perfectly ensures the ultimate harmony between the soup and the noodles, guaranteeing that your mouth is filled with the ultimate deliciousness of ramen, you can't keep slurping noodles forever, and... you can't eat the side dishes anymore, right? Side dishes are also an integral part of the soul of ramen, absolutely inseparable.

And that little blue cat... wait, why is a cat eating ramen? It's so cute, so it doesn't matter what it does, oh.

The blue kitten eating method also has a drawback: the overly strong ramen flavor will accumulate in the mouth, making it less delicious as you eat more, which is unbearable.

The pink-haired girl's mini ramen eating method is also a famous one, but there is a problem: the side dishes are definitely not enough. So what should you do when you don't have enough side dishes?

Before Uncle Xiaoshan could even process what was happening, he saw Lu Nan and Dai Miao stop moving at the same time and then pull out something that left him speechless—a large bottle of Lao Da Iced Black Tea, chilled!

Wh-what!

Uncle Xiaoshan even forgot to eat his noodles for a moment, just staring blankly as Lu Nan and Dai Miao opened the bottle caps in unison, stuffed them into their mouths, and began to gulp down the delicious Guojiao liquor.

But, but this way, the sugar content is too high! Not only that, the high level of sweetness will ruin the texture of the ramen itself, making the taste of the next bite of ramen taste extremely strange. It's an absolute mistake!

No! They picked up the char siu!

That's it, char siu! This bite of char siu will quickly neutralize the high density of sweetness in your mouth, thus ensuring that the next bite of ramen tastes divine again. Just who are these two guys?!

But the young man with black hair still hadn't solved his problem; there were still so many side dishes... Impossible! This, this is!

Uncle Xiaoshan's glasses slipped off his nose, but he had no mind to push them back in. Lu Nan was slurping his noodles with high density and low intensity while also stuffing a side dish into his mouth. This action was extremely smooth and did not even interrupt his noodle-slurping rhythm!

The soup swirls gently, everything seems so perfect, so natural, like the first Tai Chi symbol born after the creation of heaven and earth.

Yes, it's the "rotating dynamic noodle-eating method"! This kid is terrifying!

The blue kitten beside him did not put down the Guojiao liquor in its hand. Instead, it added the option of taking a sip of Guojiao to the previously repeated steps. It did not feel complicated at all, but rather seemed more natural.

Uncle Xiaoshan has lost his voice and is somewhat numb.

For a moment, he seemed to see a blue-haired figure behind the cat and the person, towering like a mountain.

However, as the pink-haired girl suddenly froze, everyone's actions also temporarily stopped, because there was only half a bowl of noodles left, and even the silly cat with double the side dishes in its bowl didn't have many side dishes left.

"This is it!" Uncle Xiaoshan perked up and sat up straight.

The biggest difference between casual enthusiasts and true foodies, the biggest difference between a true ramen lover—garlic!

Whether or not one can accept eating garlic, whether or not one can overcome this hurdle, is the final test to truly savor this exquisite delicacy.

The two people and the cat seemed to sense something. After exchanging a glance, they simultaneously reached for the garlic in front of them and put it into their bowls without hesitation.

They did it!!!

Uncle Koyama couldn't help but feel gratified; there were still genuine ramen lovers among the younger generation, which was truly wonderful.

With a slurping sound, the two people and the cat almost simultaneously put down their chopsticks. There were no more noodles in the bowl, only the broth was still gently sloshing around.

Uncle Xiaoshan watched as the young people raised their bowls again, and an absurd thought flashed through his mind: Did they really intend to drink all the soup?

Hahaha, how could that be? The ramen soup is already a bit salty after adding garlic, and you've already eaten so much starch. Consuming such oily soup would definitely make you fat.

But contrary to his expectations, the three young men actually drank it, and they began to savor the last essence of the ramen.

Huh? Why? I don't understand!

Uncle Xiaoshan didn't know or understand that this was completely unnecessary. But, but didn't he used to drink the last sip of soup with gratitude?

When did I become such a boring and petty old man? I can't even enjoy the last sip of soup properly anymore? I have to calculate and compare every last bit of happiness. When did I stop being able to calm down and enjoy a bowl of ramen properly?

After finishing his soup, Lu Nan put down his bowl, took out three tissues, and gave one to Dai Miao and one to the pink-haired girl diagonally opposite him. After wiping the grease from the corner of his mouth, Lu Nan couldn't help but squint his eyes in satisfaction.

Sure enough, Lao Ba really knows how to eat. His method is not bad either. I haven't enjoyed eating noodles this much in a long time. It's just a bit troublesome. I prefer the way of eating like a hyena, tearing and biting.

Lu Nan left the meal payment at the front desk and happily called to Dai Miao that they were about to head out to go home.

The pink-haired girl, who also seemed to have a good appetite, had finished eating. Full of energy, she placed the money under her bowl and followed Lu Nan out the door.

"Young people."

The sudden voice stopped them. Lu Nan turned around in confusion and saw the man raising his thumb. He looked like he had just attained enlightenment in Longchang. His expression was no longer so weathered. He looked like he could work three more hours.

The two people and the cat looked at each other, their faces full of questions.

Lu Nan walked out of the noodle shop, stretching as he went. He'd had a delicious meal and was happily heading home to sleep.

"Fujiwara Chika." A slightly goofy voice came from behind.

"Huh?" Lu Nan subconsciously turned around.

"I mean, my name is Fujiwara Chika." The pink-haired girl took off her hair tie, and her ponytail, which she had tied up for convenience while eating, came undone, with cherry-colored strands falling down.

Her blue eyes held a mixture of curiosity and delight. The black bow on her forehead swayed with her steps. She wore some kind of school uniform, the red bow on which was pushed up by her bulging cheeks as she looked up at the sky with a look of utter despair.

Secretary Fujiwara Chika

"You're a ramen fanatic too? That's great! I didn't expect to meet someone with the same hobby here." She smiled broadly, looking extremely happy.

For no apparent reason, Lu Nan felt that she was like a satisfied cat after a good meal, radiating a warm and comforting energy.

Chapter 42 Yay! It's a dinner party! (Six consecutive chapters for the New Year! Are you all satisfied?)

“My name is Lu Nan, and this is Dai Miao.” Lu Nan pointed to himself and then to Dai Miao: “By the way, we’re not actually big fans of ramen.”

"Dazed cat, you're so cute~" Fujiwara Chika bent down and patted the cat's head, then looked up as if she had just received a message: "Huh? Huh?! Then, why do you guys eat so much?"

Lu Nan smiled somewhat awkwardly: "If I had to say, it's probably because I'm standing on the shoulders of giants?"

On the shoulders of giants?

Fujiwara Chika tilted her head in confusion, completely failing to understand what Lu Nan was saying.

"I don't really understand it, but it sounds really impressive!" Fujiwara Chika stood up, took her phone out of her skirt pocket, and showed it to Lu Nan.

"What does it mean?"

“Give me your WeChat ID, although you don’t share the same interests, you’re very interesting, and I’d like to be friends with you!” Fujiwara Chika said with a smile, but for some reason, she looked a little dazed.

There was no reason to refuse, so my friend happily added 1 more.

After saying goodbye to Fujiwara Chika, Lu Nan, who hadn't gone far, watched in bewilderment as she got into a car that looked incredibly cool and powerful, though he didn't know what brand it was.

Although I don't know the brand, the bodyguard in the black suit and white gloves opening the car door and the license plate with five eights seemed to be announcing something.

Lu Nan glanced down at his new friend on WeChat with the ramen-themed profile picture, then exchanged a look with Dai Miao. Finally, the two of them, one human and one cat, looked at the car that was driving away.

Could it really be some kind of local weaponry?

......

Perhaps it's the magic of the "heavenly creation" system, or perhaps it's just psychological, but whenever the start of the new school term approaches, the holidays always seem to fly by.

For example, Lu Nan didn't notice for a moment and realized that school was starting tomorrow. The thought of going to university in another world made Lu Nan feel a little excited, just like when he saved up money to go to an amusement park for the first time when he was a child.

"Lu Nan? What's wrong with you, standing there dumbfounded?" Manager Dino patted Lu Nan on the shoulder: "Hurry up and get ready. Didn't we agree to leave work early today and go to Grand Blue?"

Lu Nan then snapped out of his daze and nodded: "Okay, store manager."

The seniors had already tidied up and gathered in the lounge, chatting.

"Lu Nan! Come and take a look." Qiu Yue Hongye pulled Lu Nan aside and, under Lu Nan's questioning gaze, took out a large, long, and black bottle from her pocket.

"How about I bring this with me? It's homemade, not very strong." Qiuyue Hongye held up the small wine jar in her hand: "I heard Dino say that this is the best gift to bring."

Lu Nan smiled and nodded, his face full of pity as he looked at Qiu Yue Hongye, who had breathed a sigh of relief and turned away.

Bringing this as a gift is indeed a good idea, but this gift will most likely be used on yourself. Manager Dino couldn't possibly be unaware of this, which means that the blond guy did it on purpose.

Forget it, I'd better not tell Senior Akizuki yet, otherwise they'll start arguing again.

However, apart from Ma Dong-senpai, only Dino-senpai and Akizuki-senpai can drink. Dino-senpai probably resorted to this tactic to relieve his own pressure.

The Stile team quickly finished packing, and Manager Dino locked the door, waved his hand, and exclaimed with high spirits, "Everyone! Let's go!"

"Let's go!" ×6

......

Iori is facing the biggest challenge of his life so far—how to use the kitchen knife in his hand to deal with the fish in front of him that is almost half the size of him.

"Why am I the one handling the fish?! Wouldn't it be better to leave this to Uncle or Senior A-Shi or Senior A-Shou?" Iori was on the verge of a breakdown after being slapped by the grouper's tail again.

"Didn't you choose this yourself?" Chisa, who was carefully picking vegetables, was speechless.

"I wanted to help Nanaka-nee, but I didn't expect to fight alongside fish!" Iori was on the verge of tears.

"There's nothing we can do. Lu Nan hasn't gotten off work yet, and Dad went to buy more vegetables because he thought we didn't have enough. A-Shi and Senior A-Shou are setting up tables and chairs outside, so there's no one to help you now." Chisa shrugged, her face practically screaming schadenfreude, seemingly feeling helpless for Iori.

Just as Iori's eyes showed despair, he suddenly heard a familiar voice, which sounded like heavenly music to him.

"I'm back."

It's Lu Nan! It's Lu Nan Kouya!

Iori ran to the door at lightning speed and, to Lu Nan's bewildered gaze, placed the kitchen knife in his hand.

"It's up to you!" Iori's eyes were burning, as if he were entrusting her with some important task.

Lu Nan knew exactly what this guy was thinking. He pushed Iori's face away with a speechless expression: "Alright, alright, get out of the way. My helpers are here."
