Since the senior student wasn't full, Lin Xun took her to a nearby noodle shop.

"Haha, you just happened to arrive just before closing time, so this bowl of noodles is a free gift for you," the owner said with a smile.

"Thank you, boss." Lin Xun thanked him politely.

He added chopped green onions to the noodles and pushed them in front of his senior: "Try it."

Su Qingshi glanced at him, then picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of meat from the noodles, and held it out to Lin Xun.

My partner took the first bite.

Lin Xun didn't stand on ceremony and opened his mouth to let his senior feed him the piece of meat.

"tasty!"

Lin Xun gave a thumbs up.

Su Qingshi smiled faintly, then lowered her head to eat her noodles.

After eating about two-thirds of the noodles, Su Qingshi couldn't eat anymore. She thought for a moment and pushed the noodles to Lin Xun.

"You eat."

"good."

Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, Lin Xun quickly finished the noodles.

The boss was sitting under a power strip, charging his phone and playing on it. He immediately burst out laughing when he saw this.

"You two have a great relationship."

He was just making a simple exclamation.

Lin Xun looked up and smiled, "Boss, I see your noodle shop is called Mandarin Duck Noodle Shop, is there any meaning behind it?"

"The meaning..."

A flicker of reminiscence crossed his eyes.

He once had a white moonlight, but unfortunately, in that materialistic age, even a white moonlight can turn into Gargamel.

The owner chuckled and said, "The reason it's called Yuanyang Noodle Shop is because of my first love. More than ten years ago, we were students, just like you. We decided to open a noodle shop together after we entered society. However, our family was very poor at that time, and the girl was tricked away by a landlord's foolish son. In the end, we didn't end up together."

Lin Xun and Su Qingshi were silent for a moment. Lin Xun said softly, "Since you've already broken up, why open this noodle shop?"

The owner said with a complicated expression, "Maybe I still have some obsessions. Of course, at first I wanted to open a noodle shop, but later, for the sake of making a living, I didn't care too much about it."

Lin Xun nodded, somewhat apologetically, and said, "I'm sorry, boss, for bringing up your painful memories."

The boss waved his hand: "It's nothing to be sad about. So many years have passed. Think about her now, her children are probably almost as old as yours."

"Is the boss married?" Lin Xun asked curiously.

The boss smiled slightly: "Of course it's settled. I also have a daughter, she's very pretty, although not as pretty as your girlfriend."

Su Qingshi gave a polite smile: "Thank you."

"Haha, actually, life is short, so we should spend our time on meaningful things. When I've saved up some money, I'll close the noodle shop and take my family to see the world." The owner chuckled, then subconsciously pulled out a pack of cigarettes. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and smiled again.

"Sorry, sorry, I had a craving for a cigarette."

Lin Xun expressed his understanding.

This is how life is for people at the grassroots level. The first thing they do every day when they open their eyes is to figure out how to make money that day, and then they are busy all day long.

After leaving the noodle shop, Lin Xun held Su Qingshi's hand and walked a short distance before stopping and looking back at the noodle shop behind him.

The noodle shop owner closed the door, and a few seconds later, the lights went out, ending a busy day.

Life is not easy, so cherish it.

Su Qingshi glanced at him, then grasped his hand in return.

Lin Xun smiled at her, moved his fingers, and intertwined them.

"Why are you thinking so much?" Su Qingshi asked softly.

Lin Xun exhaled a breath of stale air and said, "I don't know either. Sometimes my mind just wanders and I suddenly feel depressed."

Su Qingshi was silent for a moment, then she took off the rubber band from her wrist, released Lin Xun's hand, and said to him, "I'll perform a magic trick for you."

Lin Xun's eyes widened in surprise: "Magic?"

Does the senior student know magic tricks?

His eyes gleamed with anticipation.

Su Qingshi wrapped a rubber band around her fingers, clenched her fist, and her little white fist was very cute.

Lin Xun's gaze unconsciously fell on her hands, and he even lost interest in watching the magic trick.

Look at the hands.

Su Qingshi noticed that his gaze was somewhat distracted and reminded him, "Focus your attention and watch carefully."

Lin Xun quickly cleared his throat and stared at her intently.

"Look, which two fingers are wrapped with the rubber band?"

Lin Xun glanced at it and said, "Index finger and middle finger."

Su Qingshi smiled slightly: "Are you sure?"

Lin Xun was drawn to her smile again and nodded subconsciously.

Su Qingshi smiled faintly, then loosened her fist and opened her palm. A strange scene appeared: the rubber band that was originally around her index and middle fingers had now moved to her ring and little fingers.

"Huh? How did you do that?" Lin Xun asked in surprise, not quite understanding.

He was so focused on looking at the senior student that he didn't pay attention to the rubber band.

Su Qingshi rolled her eyes at him. The key to the success of magic lies in distracting the audience, but Lin Xun didn't need to do that at all; she herself was the best distraction.

"Watch closely, let's do it again."

Lin Xun stared intently at his senior's fingers, not blinking an eye.

A sly glint flashed in Su Qingshi's eyes as she repeated the action she had just performed.

Good heavens!

Lin Xun... still found nothing.

"This...this is sorcery!"

Su Qingshi: ...

"Senior, how did you do that?" Lin Xun asked curiously.

"Give me a kiss, and I'll tell you," Su Qingshi said haughtily.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xun's eyes suddenly lit up with a green light.

Is this for real?

He suddenly grabbed his senior's lips and kissed her directly.

Now it was Su Qingshi's turn to be bewildered. She said coldly, "Who told you to kiss me?"

Lin Xun looked completely innocent: "Senior sister told me to give her a kiss, but she didn't say where!"

Su Qingshi choked on his words.

It seemed to make a lot of sense, and she couldn't refute it.

With Su Qingshi's explanation, Lin Xun understood that it was actually a very simple little magic trick.

Anyone who has seen a magic show knows this.

"Does the senior student really like magic?"

Su Qingshi said calmly, "I was somewhat interested when I was little. When I cried and fussed, my dad would do magic tricks to cheer me up."

Her tone was calm, and she seemed to have no emotion.

Lin Xun's eyes darted around, and then he said, "Senior, how about we go see a magic show?"

Su Qingshi's eyes lit up, but only for a moment. She looked at Lin Xun with a puzzled expression: "Where should we go to see?"

Lin Xun chuckled and said, "Magic can be found everywhere. Leave this to me."

It's time to unleash their financial power.

Su Qingshi raised an eyebrow: "Okay."

She then looked at him and asked, "How are you feeling right now?"

Lin Xun felt a warmth in his heart; he knew that his senior had done all this to make him happy.

It's already quite an achievement for a cool and aloof goddess to have reached this level.

Only he could earn such treatment from a goddess.

Before they knew it, the two arrived at the school gate, and it was time to part ways.

Goodnight, senior.

Goodnight, junior.
