Luo Huaen tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
He knew perfectly well that the aroma could not possibly come from the cafeteria. After all, he knew the taste of the food there all too well, and the cooks simply couldn't replicate that tempting fragrance.
He hadn't eaten much at lunch, and now this overpowering aroma was making his stomach rumble.
Seeing Luo Huaen open the door and leave, Xu Songbai, the assistant standing nearby, quickly followed and asked, "Brother Huaen, where are you going?"
"Let's go find something to eat."
If his father hadn't insisted that he come to this godforsaken place to study, he wouldn't have wanted to stay in this prison-like place where he had no freedom!
He used to have He Yang to tease, but since that guy dropped out of school, he's had much less fun here.
The two followed the scent to a corner on the right side of the main entrance.
Luo Huaen had some martial arts skills, and he easily climbed onto the wall.
On the other side, He Yang, since the table was already full, had to carry his large wooden bowl to a less crowded area to stand and eat his spicy hot pot.
As Luo Huaen looked around, he happened to meet He Yang's gaze.
He Yang blurted out, "What are you doing here!"
Luo Huaen looked completely bewildered and asked, "That's the question I should be asking you."
With Yun Zhizhi protecting him now, He Yang was no longer afraid of Luo Huaen and arrogantly retorted, "Are you blind? Can't you see we're setting up a stall here?"
Only then did Luo Huaen look into the distance.
What the heck?
Why are there so many people here!
Actually, even before he climbed up, he had vaguely heard a slight noise.
At the time, I thought I had misheard.
At this moment, Xu Songbai also climbed up. As soon as he saw He Yang, he immediately shouted, "Fatty, what are you eating?"
The smell that's wafting over is exactly the same as what I just smelled.
Seeing them swallowing hard, He Yang immediately retorted, "Eating food you'll never be able to eat!"
Then, his eyes lit up, and he started showing off as he ate: "Wow! Look at these meatballs, so bouncy and delicious! These egg dumplings are so smooth and juicy! This crispy pork is so tender and savory..."
"And with this numbing and spicy flavor, it's so delicious I could scream!"
Xu Songbai, having been brainwashed by He Yang, cooperated perfectly and meowed, "Meow~"
Luo Huaen immediately glared at him, "Idiot!"
Immediately afterwards, Luo Huaen turned his gaze to He Yang and threatened him fiercely, "You fatso, hurry up and get me a bowl to try."
Upon hearing this, He Yang refused without hesitation, saying, "Keep dreaming! Even if you try to bribe me with money, I won't sell to you two bastards."
These two men used to try all sorts of ways to bully him, especially this one, Rowan, who once forced him to eat moldy food, and if he didn't obey, they would punch and kick him.
Thinking of this, He Yang's tone became increasingly firm: "Want to eat spicy hot pot? Maybe in your next life!"
The boss said he would only set up his stall here for four days, and that he might not sell mala tang anymore after that. So he absolutely couldn't let them eat it during these few days; he wanted them to remember it for a lifetime.
Upon hearing this, Luo Huaen's face turned as black as charcoal.
He had previously heard that He Yang was doing quite well, having set up a stall with the fake eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion. He had originally intended to ask him for some money to spend, but then he learned that Yun Zhizhi had found a powerful friend like Zhao Yunjin.
So he chickened out.
Today, they actually came to the academy to set up a stall. Are they deliberately showing off to him, or are they really out of their minds?
At this moment, Yun Zhizhi walked up to He Yang with a large wooden bowl and asked in confusion, "What are you doing here?"
"Chatting with two idiots."
After he finished speaking, he pointed to Luo Huaen and Xu Songbai on the wall.
Yun Zhizhi followed his gesture and looked, only to find the wall empty. She blinked and asked, "Where is everyone?"
He Yang didn't expect the two to slip away so quickly. "They ran away. Luo Huaen and Xu Songbai are probably afraid of you."
Yun Zhizhi asked, puzzled, "Am I that scary?"
Actually, he's afraid of the powerful friend who's backing you up.
Yun Zhizhi then realized what was happening.
It seems Zhao Yunjin is quite useful, shielding them from a lot of trouble. Otherwise, relying solely on her and He Yang, they would have been thoroughly humiliated long ago.
Around noon, another group of people arrived.
Yun Zhizhi and her group were exhausted and covered in sweat, constantly wiping their foreheads.
Looking at the busy crowd, she comforted them, "Once we're done with this, we can rest."
In just half a day, almost all the students at Lishan Academy had learned about Yun Zhizhi's spicy hot pot stall at the academy gate.
It's hard for them not to want to know.
After all, the tempting aroma of mala tang is simply irresistible, and this fragrance keeps wafting into every corner of the academy.
At the beginning of the hour of You (5-7 PM), it was time for students to enjoy their evening meal.
However, some students couldn't wait any longer and flocked to the main gate of the academy.
At this moment, Uncle Chen Bei, the gatekeeper, was surrounded by these anxious students.
Li Wen couldn't help but plead, "Uncle Chen, we promise we'll just stand at the door and watch, we won't run out. Please, have mercy and open the door so we can take a look!"
Chen Bei was just an ordinary gatekeeper and dared not make such a decision on his own: "Please wait a moment, I will go and ask the headmaster for instructions."
After saying that, he turned and walked away quickly, leaving behind a group of anxious students.
So Chen Bei went to the villa where the headmaster was staying again and told him about it.
