...

The two arrived at a Japanese ramen shop they frequented.

I ordered a signature tonkotsu ramen for Luo Qingyan and a seafood ramen for myself.

The ramen was served quickly, and Bai Ye reminded him, "Be careful, it's hot."

Luo Qingyan nodded obediently, looking every bit the sweet and adorable girl: "Mmm!"

Bai Ye glanced at the man at the next table. Ever since entering the store, this man's eyes had been fixed on Luo Qingyan, which was extremely impolite.

Bai Ye coldly said to the man, "Hey, close your eyes, they're about to pop out."

"Mind your own business. I have eyes on my own body, I can look however I want, what can you do about it?"

This man spoke very arrogantly. He was not tall, only about 1.6 meters, but his tone was extremely arrogant.

He looks like someone who's involved in organized crime.

Bai Ye wasn't exactly known for his good temper, and he promptly stood up: "What? You want to fight?"

Bai Ye wasn't very tall, but she was still 1.76 meters tall, which was more than a head taller than the men.

Moreover, she was significantly more robust than him and had a more imposing presence.

The man was clearly a coward; he didn't dare say anything, clenched his fists, slammed his chopsticks down, and left without a word.

But the store manager had already arrived: "Sir, you haven't paid yet."

The man's face turned pale and then red. He took out a twenty-yuan note from his pants and handed it to him: "Keep the change."

The man was about to open the door and leave this place of trouble immediately.

But the store manager still stopped him.

The man's eyes were bloodshot: "What are you doing?"

The shop manager said helplessly, "Sir, this bowl of noodles with toppings should cost 30, but you only paid 20."

"Pfft!" Luo Qingyan covered her face and chuckled.

She had noticed the man peeping at her long ago, but although Luo Qingyan was very unhappy, she was already used to it.

Countless boys have stared at her since she was a child, but she has no interest in paying attention to them.

Bai Ye silently sarcastically remarked, "Could it be that you can't afford to pay and are trying to dine and dash?"

"You...you!" The man's eyes turned red with anger.

The store manager's eyes gradually turned dangerous.

The man quickly pulled out another ten-yuan note from his pocket, threw it to the shop manager, and opened the door to escape.

Before he could even take a step, his foot slipped, and he ended up doing the splits.

"Rip!" The man was wearing jeans, and when he did a split, his jeans ripped open.

"Hahaha!" Even Bai Ye couldn't help but laugh this time.

The man quickly stood up, glared at Bai Ye hatefully, and fled in panic.

Only after he walked away did Bai Ye turn around and start eating his noodles.

Luo Qingyan stared intently at Bai Ye.

His eyes were full of joy.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Luo Qingyan praised without reservation: "I just think you're very handsome. The way you suddenly stood up just now was absolutely cool."

"Zun Du is fake Du?"

Whether Bai Ye smiled or not remains unknown.

He wasn't very confident about his looks; he wasn't exactly handsome, just average.

The girl pouted and said cutely, "Zun Du!"

Bai Ye smiled and said, "Hurry up and eat your noodles! Otherwise they'll get cold!"

Bai Ye added a spoonful of chili oil to the bowl.

"Senior, do you like spicy food?" Luo Qingyan asked, noticing that Bai Ye almost always ate spicy food.

Bai Ye slurped up his noodles and explained, "Yeah, I really like it. Although I can't handle too much spice, I feel like adding a little spice really whets my appetite, so I usually add spice to everything I eat."

The shop manager, who was some distance away, glanced at the two of them and narrowed his eyes.

It's so good to be young!

A plate of tempura was placed between the two of them.

"Did the manager put this in the wrong place? We didn't order this!" Bai Ye asked, puzzled.

"Our store's promotion: Couples can enjoy a free sample." The store manager pointed to the poster next to him.

It says: Couples get a complimentary serving of tempura.

Bai Ye and Luo Qingyan looked at each other in bewilderment.

Bai Ye had a headache and wanted to explain.

But Luo Qingyan already smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, manager!"

"You're welcome, enjoy your meal!" the manager replied with a smile.

Bai Ye watched the shop manager's departing figure, stretched out his hand, unsure whether he should explain.

He glared at the girl helplessly.

The girl, seemingly unconcerned, happily picked up a piece of tempura and brought it to Bai Ye's lips.

"Senior, open your mouth and have a taste!" The girl's eyes were full of excitement.

Bai Ye opened his mouth helplessly.

The girl's eyes lit up, and she put the tempura into Bai Ye's mouth, along with the chopsticks.

Bai Ye's pupils contracted, and Luo Qingyan nonchalantly put away her chopsticks.

Then he picked up some tempura and started eating it.

Bai Ye shuddered. If he remembered correctly, Luo Qingyan's delicate lips had lightly bitten the chopsticks, leaving them with her saliva. The chopsticks had clearly touched his tongue, and Luo Qingyan had then picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Bai Ye's expression was complicated as he looked at the girl who seemed completely unconcerned.

The girl wasn't indifferent; if you looked closely, you could see that her ears were all pink.

Bai Ye finished his noodles first, wiped his mouth, and waited for Luo Qingyan.

Luo Qingyan doesn't have a big appetite, but the portion of noodles was quite generous, and there was still a little more than half a bowl left in her bowl.

"Senior, I can't eat anymore, can you eat it for me?" Luo Qingyan pitifully pushed the remaining noodles to Bai Ye.

A sly glint flashed in his eyes.

Bai Ye casually said, "If you can't eat it, just leave it here!"

Luo Qingyan began to explain the importance of food in a very logical and thorough manner: "But we can't waste food! Food..."

Bai Ye's lips twitched. "When we used to eat together, I saw you leaving a lot of food uneaten, but you never said this before!"

"Eat it! It tastes really good, senior!" Luo Qingyan was still unwilling to give up.

"Fine, fine, I'll eat it!" Bai Ye said helplessly.

He took the noodles from the girl.

A sly glint flashed in Luo Qingyan's eyes once more.

But the next moment his eyes froze.

Bai Ye took out his chopsticks and spoon and put them in his own bowl, while putting his chopsticks and spoon into Luo Qingyan's bowl and starting to eat noodles.

Luo Qingyan pouted for a moment.

Hmph ╯^╰, failed.

The reason she was so eager was that she wanted Bai Ye to use her chopsticks and spoon so that they could kiss indirectly.

Unfortunately, Bai Ye doesn't play by the rules at all.

Luo Qingyan watched Bai Ye eat the noodles in her bowl with longing eyes, feeling extremely depressed.

Hmph, if it doesn't work this time, there will be another time.

Anyway, I'll definitely be the senior.

Luo Qingyan encouraged herself inwardly.

Then, somewhat unnaturally, I began to imagine scenes of the future.

Bai Ye glanced at Luo Qingyan, who was engrossed in her own world, with a puzzled look.

I don't know what she was thinking, she just kept giggling like an idiot.
