Chapter 956: Eat a Bowl of Noodles
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“I felt hungry just as you said it.” Wang Xiaoyan nodded.
“I will bring you over for a delicious meal.” Yang Ming smiled and said mysteriously.
“What are we eating?” asked Wang Xiaoyan. “Don’t tell me it is something stupid like stinky tofu? If so, I will kill you.”
“Of course not.” Yang Ming was astounded. “I don’t eat that stuff. I will bring you to Anhui Beef Pan Mee [1].”
” Ah !” Wang Xiaoyan immediately said after listening, “Is it the one you and Sister Zhao Ying have been to?”
“How do you know?” Yang Ming was baffled.
“Sister Zhao Ying mentioned it to me before. She said that the noodles there are delicious. I wanted to go eat, but was delayed because I did not have the chance,” said Wang Xiaoyan.
Yang Ming nodded after listening. “The noodles of this restaurant are indeed authentic. I have never eaten it since that time.”
“Okay, let’s go.” Wang Xiaoyan touched her little belly and said, “I’m starving.”
The two had revealed their identity to each other. There were far fewer barriers now that they had become partners. Wang Xiaoyan was too lazy to trouble Yang Ming. Inadvertently, she had restored her cute and overbearing side.
However, Wang Xiaoyan didn’t think that she would fall in love with Yang Ming. Being a mistress didn’t require love. Yang Ming needed her as a mistress, while she needed Yang Ming to help her revitalize the assassin group.
The deal seemed fair. At least, there was no loss. As for what to do in the future, Wang Xiaoyan could only take it one step at a time.
Yang Ming hadn’t been to the snack street behind the school for a long time. He couldn’t help but think of the memories of high school at this place. Li Dagang had mingled in society quite well. He said that he had learned almost everything and was waiting for Hou Zhenhan’s company to get started so he could come over.
Xu Peng was just in a miserable state. Yang Ming offered him a good deal last time. Yang Ming didn’t know what was in Xu Peng’s mind as Xu Peng hadn’t contacted him yet. Yang Ming decided to go to him after breakfast to have a look.
“Cheng’s Anhui Beef Pan Mee?” Wang Xiaoyan pointed to the food stall signboard on the roadside and asked, “Is it here?”
” En , it is this place.” Yang Ming nodded. He stopped the car and got off with Wang Xiaoyan.
“Welcome! Are both of you having noodles?” As they just entered the store, they heard the boss’ greetings. During summer, the food stalls were opened outside; during winter, they would naturally move into the store.
“Boss, two bowls of beef noodles with eggs.” Yang Ming informed the owner habitually.
“Alright!” the boss nodded. “However, why don’t you both have a big bowl together? Our small bowl is considered a big portion. I am afraid that this girl can’t finish it.”
Yang Ming broke into a cold sweat. How come this boss recommends a big bowl every time? It was also the same as before when I came with Zhao Ying.
Wang Xiaoyan suddenly blushed, but she had a small appetite. She couldn’t eat much, especially for breakfast. She thought about it and said, “Give us a big bowl then.”
Wang Xiaoyan didn’t think so much about it. In her opinion, Yang Ming kissed and hugged her yesterday too. There was nothing wrong with eating a bowl of noodles.
“Then, a big bowl it is!” The boss smiled and went to prepare.
After the ordering the noodles, the two began to look for a seat. When they turned back, they saw an acquaintance. An acquaintance that both of them knew.
That person also looked at them at the same time. The three pairs of eyes met each other, and they all felt a little surprised.
“Sister Zhao Ying!” Wang Xiaoyan called out first.
“Yanyan, Yang Ming, how come you are here?” Zhao Ying was also very confused.
At this time, the person next to Zhao Ying felt uncomfortable! He didn’t expect to meet Yang Ming, but he couldn’t walk away at the moment. He could only lower his face at best so that Yang Ming didn’t find out about him.
“I’m neighbors with Wang Xiaoyan. We have quite a good relationship, so I asked her to eat noodles.” Yang Ming blinked at Wang Xiaoyan and motioned her not to talk nonsense, then said to Zhao Ying.
“You two are neighbors? That is a coincidence!” Zhao Ying did not think much of it and said, “That is great. Let’s eat together.”
It was breakfast time now, and there were no other vacancies here. Yang Ming had this intention after meeting up with Zhao Ying.
“Sister Ying, why are you here?” Yang Ming was baffled.
“I had to go to school very early in the past few days. When I passed by here one day, I ate some noodles. I found it was not bad, then I ate here every day since.” Zhao Ying said with a smile. “Yang Ming, this place you recommended is really not bad.”
Wang Xiaoyan sat next to Zhao Ying, and Yang Ming sat next to the person opposite Zhao Ying. Yang Ming thought it was an unfamiliar person. However, after taking a closer look, Yang Ming recognized who the guy was.
” Hey ? Isn’t this Teacher Jin Gang?” Yang Ming patted Jin Gang’s shoulder vigorously. Jin Gang was eating with his head down. With Yang Ming’s pat, his shoulder hurt. The chopsticks on his hands almost dropped.
Since Yang Ming recognized him, Jin Gang couldn’t pretend anymore. He looked up awkwardly. “Isn’t this student Yang Ming? It’s a coincidence…”
“Coincidence your sh*t!” Yang Ming changed his face and said, “Are you troubling Sister Ying again?”
“I… I met her by chance…” said Jin Gang with a sad face.
“Coincidence?” Yang Ming apparently did not believe.
“It’s really a coincidence…” Jin Gang explained quickly, “I came here to eat noodles this morning, and I saw Zhao Ying sitting here… I admit that I’m still trying to get close, so I just sat over. However, it was really a coincidence…”
“Yang Ming, don’t trouble him. He is telling the truth.” After all, he was still her previous colleague. Zhao Ying had already stopped talking bad about Jin Gang.
After Yang Ming listened, he nodded and said to Jin Gang, “Okay, hurry up and leave after eating. You still owe me a bicycle.”
Jin Gang had an urge to cry, How can he still demand a bike from me? However, he did not dare to refute. Yang Ming glared at him like a tiger from his back. He quickly brought the noodles to his mouth. By accident, he stuffed a pepper into his mouth. The spiciness made him cough terribly, and tears started coming out as well.
Jin Gang wiped his tears. He didn’t bother to continue eating and fled in defeat.
Wang Xiaoyan observed inexplicably, “Yang Ming, how did the man offend you?”
“This guy is the physical education teacher at my high school. He is Sister Ying’s suitor. He was displeased when he saw Sister Ying giving me one-on-one tutoring. Therefore, he found two gangsters to set me up and smash my bike.” Yang Ming was angry as he thought about it. Mothef*cker, that was my poorest day, yet you ruined my bicycle.
Wang Xiaoyan secretly smacked her lips as she heard it. This person provoked Yang Ming, and yet he could still sit here to eat noodles? What a miracle. Wang Xiaoyan naturally didn’t know that Yang Ming had nothing to do with assassins when he was in high school.
“My relationship with Yanyan is very good. I also wanted to find an opportunity to introduce you both to each other. I didn’t expect you to be familiar with each other one step ahead of me,” said Zhao Ying.
Yang Ming was a bit embarrassed, and he understood Zhao Ying’s mind. It was because of an accident. Chen Mengyan’s resistance to Zhao Ying was considerable. Although Yang Ming and Zhao Ying’s relationship was a bit ambiguous, going one step further would be extremely difficult. For Yang Ming, he already had Zhao Ying’s best friend on the bed. No matter what, this matter was a bit unreasonable.
As they chatted around, the boss put a large bowl of noodles in the middle of Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan and said, “Big bowl with egg for two servings!”
” Ah !?” Yang Ming was embarrassed instantaneously. How did I forget this? I f*cked up. I didn’t want to talk to Zhao Ying about my relationship with Wang Xiaoyan. However at this moment, even if I didn’t say anything, Zhao Ying for sure will notice something.
Sure enough, Zhao Ying was dumbfounded. She looked at the big bowl of noodles between Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan in a blank. Her face showed an inexplicable and somewhat sad look.
“You both…” Zhao Ying glanced at Yang Ming and looked at Wang Xiaoyan again, asking faintly.
Zhao Ying’s heart was full of grievances at this time. The beauties at Yang Ming’s side increases one by one, but my relationship with him is still stagnant. Although the two of us are closer to each other because of the fake couple incident, we haven’t seen each other for a long time.
Yang Ming smiled bitterly. As he was just about to explain, he felt Wang Xiaoyan kick him under the table, so he quickly stopped.
“We? What about us? What happened to us?” Wang Xiaoyan picked up a pair of chopsticks and stirred the noodles in the bowl naturally for the heat to dissipate, then she asked.
“Aren’t you both having a bowl of noodles?” Zhao Ying hesitated and finally asked. Otherwise, she would never feel comfortable in her heart. Regardless of the relationship between Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan, Zhao Ying had to figure it out so that she could feel at ease in her heart.
” Oh , you are talking about this?” Wang Xiaoyan showed an expression of indifference. “I can’t finish a small bowl; Yang Ming doesn’t have enough if he has the small bowl. So, we ordered a big bowl. I will grab a few bites and let him eat later.”
” Ah ?” Zhao Ying did not expect Wang Xiaoyan would explain in such a way, but this explanation sounded acceptable. However, doesn’t Yang Ming detest what she left over?
“Sister Ying, in fact, Wang Xiaoyan is such a character. She is forthright, and I am used to it.” How could Yang Ming not know Wang Xiaoyan was helping him to cover up? So, he pretended to be helpless. “I am already used to it.”
Just after Yang Ming finished his words, Yang Ming felt that his foot was being stepped on again. It must be the little chick, Wang.
Zhao Ying heard Yang Ming’s words and nodded in relief. Indeed, when I lived with Wang Xiaoyan at that time, this girl is forthright. Or else, she could not just wear a small vest and run out to open the door for Yang Ming and me.
Wang Xiaoyan ate a few mouthfuls of noodles and then pushed the bowl to Yang Ming. “You eat. I’m full. It’s indeed delicious, but it’s too spicy. I can’t take it anymore.”
As she said this, she opened her mouth and fanned it with her small hand.
Yang Ming would naturally not detest her. He took the bowl and began to eat. The beef noodles that were supposed to be delicious was somewhat tasteless instead. Yang Ming felt guilty toward Zhao Ying. He always felt a little sorry for her. His mood had become somewhat low-spirited.
