The moonlit night is captivating, the distant willows appear both clear and hazy under the mingling light of the moon and lamps.

"Good night, see you tomorrow."

Lin Jie stood at the entrance of the girls' dormitory, watching his new girlfriend Lin Xiyi return inside.

That's right.

He naturally ended up with Lin Xiyi.

Who doesn't love a hero who offers a helping hand in times of need!

Even Lin Xiyi, the department's beauty, couldn't resist.

But Lin Jie's fleeting heroism is overshadowed by the thought of that 3000 yuan, leaving him feeling less like a hero.

Still, thinking of how he once could only be a backup for the goddess, and now he's finally fulfilled his wish of winning the beauty's heart.

He became the official boyfriend of the goddess!

Finally stood up tall!

For this hard-earned relationship, he's willing to take on more jobs to pay off his new girlfriend's debt.

Yet, when he thought of Cai Jiajia, a sense of guilt sprouted in his heart.

She was genuinely good to him, a perfect homemaker type.

And his initial reason for courting her was purely because she was Lin Xiyi's roommate.

He was indeed a bastard.

But since things have come to this, he could only let her down.

Just as he was planning to head back to his dorm and send a breakup message, he happened to spot Cai Jiajia walking toward the girls' dormitory.

Her eyes were somewhat swollen, clearly she had been crying.

Looks like she already knows about him and Lin Xiyi.

Only now did he recall, Cai Jiajia seemed to be in the crowd back then…

Since they saw each other now, he might as well say it to her face.

He stepped forward and called out, "Jiajia, I have something to tell you."

Upon seeing him, the smile on Cai Jiajia's pretty face instantly froze.

She already guessed what he wanted to say.

Nothing but apologies and breakup talk.

Seeing her silent, Lin Jie went straight to the point: "I want to say... let's break up."

Trying to regain some ground, she flicked the bangs blown by the wind, forcing a small smile: "Can we break up tomorrow instead?"

Eh?

Is she trying to keep him?!

Thinking she was trying to keep him, Lin Jie felt quite smug and replied firmly, "No way."

"I've broken up with so many today, let me have a break first."

She lifted her nonchalant smile, meeting his surprised gaze.

Realizing her true meaning, his face instantly darkened: "You're tough."

Watching his flustered retreating figure, Cai Jiajia burst into laughter.

Sleaze!

Get lost!

"I'm happy with this breakup, I can find someone better. Don't want to winter, tired of heaviness, just fly to a tropical island to swim. I'm happy with this breakup, bid farewell to the wrong so the right can meet..."

She hummed her revised song, returned to the dorm.

As soon as she entered, she was greeted by her roommate's concerned inquiry: "Jiajia, are you okay?"

"I'm great! No worries, just a sleaze, doesn't deserve my sadness."

She exposed a bright smile, holding her change of clothes and entered the bathroom.

After washing up, she came out in her pajamas.

Seeing all her roommates had gone to bed, she also returned to her bed.

Lying in bed, she recalled Xuanxuan's cute little face, a sweet curve appeared on her pretty face, and she felt grateful in her heart: Little one, thank you, and boss, thank you, thank you for pulling me out of the gloomy feelings.

Grateful, she still wanted to do something to repay the favor of a meal.

But as a student, lacking both financial resources and connections, what could she do?

How about promoting the boss's shop on the campus network?!

The pan-fried buns made by the boss were so delicious, they're bound to be liked by college students.

Mhm.

That's happily decided.

She logged onto the campus forum network.

Typed on her phone, editing the text.

"Shock! Turns out the buns that make you cry once you smell them, and swallow your tongue once you taste them, come from this shop."

Today, for various reasons, I unconsciously went to West City Old Street.

Then, due to a twist of fate, I sampled unforgettable pan-fried buns.

They're plump in shape, with dark shiny sesame seeds and green scallions sprinkled over golden skin, crispy and fragrant on the bottom.

Truly enticing.

Smelling it, the rich aroma of high-quality pork and the fresh scent of sesame seeds and scallions blend together, intoxicating me, making me wish to devour them in one bite.

Once tasted, even more astonishing.

The skin was tender, biting into a small piece, the rich broth flowed down the skin, lightly sipping a bit, it's fresh, salty, and savory, then another bite, the fresh meat fragrance burst out, the golden crispiness was irresistible, truly the soul's presence!

After posting, seeing no replies, she turned off her phone and went to sleep.

But there were too many night owl college students.

Soon, her post was discovered with numerous replies.

1st floor: OP's writing is decent! Even through the phone screen, I'm drooling.

2nd floor: Seriously, posting these words late at night, deliberately preventing me from sleeping!

3rd floor: OP, well done, you've succeeded in stirring my craving, but damn, how irresponsible! Didn't even mention the exact location of this shop, absurd.

5th floor: Those above, didn't the OP mention it's around West City Old Street in the description!

6th floor: Come on, West City Old Street is so big, filled with various dining places, that area, I've visited once, there's noodle shops, snack shops, breakfast places, and spicy hot pot spots, do I need to try each one by luck?

7th floor: Pipe down above, OP please come out, inform us where exactly this shop is on West City Old Street, what's the shop name, don't make me… kneel and beg you!

8th floor: Haha~ above, you want to laugh me to death so you can inherit my Huabei, huh?

9th floor: My roommate who just got out of bed asked me why the bed made a "bang" sound, it was really me kneeling down to beg you! OP hurry up and say it, hurry!!!

10th floor: +1

11th floor: +2

12th floor: +3

…

56th floor: +10086

Meanwhile, Huang Tao started to wrap things up.

Removed the previously simmered pork bones, tenderloin, Jinhua Ham, and old hen, dried scallops.

Filtered the original soup, refilled into a stainless steel barrel, added spice herbal pack, continued simmering over low heat.

Poured in Guangzhou Rice Wine, Flower Carved Wine, rock sugar, Light Soy Sauce King, soy sauce, fish sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, MSG, chicken essence, salt, other seasonings, simmered over low heat.

Then poured in scented vegetable oil.

The fragrance of the brine spread all around.

The couple next door at the convenience store, Jiang Guowei and his wife, naturally smelled this alluring scent.

"This is dangerous, at this late night, smelling this scent, my stomach's craving worms are all stirred up, how can one sleep!"

Planning to head home for a beauty sleep, Chen Wenli suddenly lost all desire to sleep.

"Oh! Now I can only savor the scent to quench my cravings."

Jiang Guowei, smelling this aroma, thought to himself that tomorrow's brined pig trotters would definitely taste good.

He couldn't help but smack his lips.

Even with windows and doors locked.

Yet the scent of the brine was too strong.

A gust of wind blew through.

The residents above West City Old Street naturally smelled it too.

Adults were alright, just puzzled, wondering which shop was releasing such "poison" late at night!

Smelling stirred cravings.

Just thinking that tomorrow they should go take a look, and have a taste.

Kids couldn't resist, directly shouting: "Wow, so fragrant, so fragrant! I want to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat…"

Parents reluctantly comforted: "Oh dear, it's this time, where can your mom find you anything! Besides, you just ate an apple, if you eat more, your tummy will burst, be good, mommy promises to buy it tomorrow, now be good and sleep, okay?"

Little ones wouldn't care, whatever they want, they have to have immediately: "No, no, I want it now, I want to eat now."

Short-tempered parents had their anger suddenly roused.

Raising a loud roar: "You rascal, you must be itchy for a slap, huh?"

That roar had great deterrence.

The child instantly quieted down.

But tears were about to fall, welled up in the eyes, hanging there.

Huang Tao was totally unaware of these little incidents.

After finishing up here, he took Xuanxuan home.

Washed up and went to bed.
