Yinni also followed Ye Dongfeng's eating style. He said, "Sigh, I feel like I've spoiled myself during my recent vacation. I don't want to come back to work at all. I just want to stay at home."

Just then, Ya Zi and Xiao Bai Cai returned. They had gone upstairs to clock in, but the self-service certificate machine downstairs had a minor malfunction, so they went down to fix it and were only just getting back.

When Ya Zi returned, she saw everyone gathered around the table eating snacks, so she went over and said, "Wow, how come there are so many snacks? Who bought them?"

Ye Dongfeng pointed in the direction of Director Yu's office and said, "Jiuling bought it. She said she bought too much before and was afraid it would expire, so she brought it over for us to eat. You guys should have some too!"

Just as Ye Dongfeng finished speaking, Yue Jiuling came out of the office. Seeing Ya Zi and Xiao Baicai, she immediately said, "Are you two late? Why are you only arriving now? Oh, right, I brought some food. Have a taste!"

Little Cabbage has been enjoying snacks lately, and he happily went to get some: "Great! Sister Jiuling, you're so kind. I was just feeling hungry."

Ya Zi also took a savory pork floss cake and said to Yue Jiuling, "Oh, actually we're not late. It's just that the self-service certificate machine downstairs tripped, so Xiao Baicai and I went down to check it out."

"Oh, I thought you were late. I arrived just in time, but I found that neither of you were here."

Yue Jiuling smiled and picked out a few snacks that Ya Zi liked, saying, "These are for you, you should like them~"

Ya Zi accepted the snacks Yue Jiuling gave him, feeling a warm glow inside. He was happy that Yue Jiuling knew what he liked to eat: "Hmm, thank you, I really do like this~"

Ye Dongfeng, who had been secretly observing the interaction between the two, grinned mischievously and said, "Hey~ Jiuling, you're treating us differently. How come you know what Long Er likes to eat and even picked out his favorites for him? Why don't you care about us? Why don't you let us pick them out and only let us take them ourselves?"

When Yinni and Bai Xinyu heard Ye Dongfeng's teasing, they all chimed in, saying that Yue Jiuling was biased.

"That's right, Jiuling, you're being biased and treating people differently."

"Yeah, that's not a good idea."

Yue Jiuling knew immediately that these guys were being sarcastic again. She said irritably, "How can you say you don't care? I let you choose first. You can eat whatever you want. Isn't that caring enough?"

Mu Xiaoyi, holding her small makeup mirror and applying lipstick, said, "Ew~ Even though it's for us to choose, I still feel you treat Long Er better than us~"

"That's right, I've long suspected you guys have some kind of secret. Now's the day to spill the beans!"

Yue Jiuling was speechless at their teasing. A little embarrassed, she looked at Ya Zi, who was also somewhat awkward, and said, "What the heck? You guys are just making things up. We're normal good friends and colleagues, okay? There's no secret between us!"

Ya Zi chuckled and said, "Exactly! You gossips, you can't even shut your mouths when you have something to eat!"

After he finished speaking, he casually put his arm around Yue Jiuling's shoulder, secretly taking advantage of her while putting on a very serious face and saying, "We're just good friends and good colleagues, so don't overthink it."

"Exactly, all they do is gossip all day long."

Yue Jiuling's shoulder was a little uncomfortable from Ya Zi's pressure, so she moved his hand away and said, "By the way, I have something to tell you. A new restaurant called 'Shi Ren' has opened in the food street. The owner of the restaurant might be a big demon. His way of opening a restaurant is different from other demons. The restaurant is full of demonic energy, and the whole place is strange. But after Long Er and I went in and had a meal, we didn't find anything wrong with it."

"Yes, and there's only one dish inside, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. It's very delicious, but extremely expensive..."

Ya Zi chimed in, "Although it's very expensive, it's really delicious, so I'm still recommending it to you all."

Hidden in the shadows, he stroked his chin and said, "'Shi Ren'? Isn't the homophone of this name 'Shi Ren' (meaning 'eat people')? Isn't this name a bit strange?"

"Oh, never mind if it's weird or not, we can just go to that shop another day and try that exorbitantly priced 'Buddha Jumps Over the Wall' while we're at it. Of course, we'll have to wait until we get paid."

Bai Xinyu's mouth immediately watered at the mention of delicious food.
