They both took a seat in the car, and amidst Lin Jiage’s sneezes, the car began making its way towards G University.

When they were just about to reach the school, Shi Yao suddenly saw the breakfast store which she frequented, and she subconsciously said, “Let me down here. I want to eat breakfast.”

The driver shot a glance at Lin Jiage.

Lin Jiage, who was in the middle of wiping his nose, nodded inconspicuously in response, so the driver stepped on the brake and stopped by the road.

Having starved for an entire night, Shi Yao immediately got down the car and rushed for the breakfast store.

Upon reaching the counter, she immediately said, “Boss, I want three bowls ofwontons 1 .”

You’re ordering that many?

Lin Jiage was following behind Shi Yao when he saw this scene. Perplexed, he was about to ask her if she had any friends that were joining her for breakfast when a sneeze interrupted him halfway through.

Noticing the movement behind her, the surprised Shi Yao turned around to look at Lin Jiage and asked, “You’re eating too?”

What do you think? If I’m not going to eat, why would I follow you in here?

Lin Jiage took a tissue to wipe his nose, not bothering to respond to her question.

Thus, Shi Yao asked once more, “What do you want to eat?”

With a heavily nasal voice, Lin Jiage replied, “Anything.”

Shi Yao: “Then I’ll order some wontons for you too, is that okay? This restaurant makes really delicious wontons.”

Lin Jiage nodded.

Shi Yao looked at him earnestly and asked, “How many bowls do you want?”

H-how many bowls do I want? Am I hearing things? Is a single bowl not enough? Am I supposed to eat several bowls of wontons?

Lin Jiage’s lips quivered silently.

In a tone that sounded like she was making a compromise, Shi Yao said, “I’ll order a bowl for you first then. If it’s not enough, I can just get you more later. Is that alright with you?”

Lin Jiage nodded loftily once more.

Thus, Shi Yao turned around and said, “Boss, make that four bowls of wontons.”

Didn’t you order three bowls earlier? Why are you adding another one?

Amidst his sneezes, Lin Jiage finally managed to ask the question currently burning in his mind, “Are you meeting a friend for breakfast?”

Shi Yao looked around to find a seat to settle down in before she replied, “I’m not meeting anyone. It’s just the two of us.”

Lin Jiage was about to pull out the chair across from Shi Yao’s when he froze.

Just the two of us?

In other words, the two of us are going to eat four bowls of wontons?

As that thought popped up in Lin Jiage’s head, he suddenly recalled how Shi Yao had asked him earlier “You’re eating too?” and “How many bowls do you want?” …

She couldn’t have ordered three portions of wonton for herself, could she?

She’s going to eat three bowls by herself?

Lin Jiage assessed the skinny Shi Yao from head to toe and wondered if he was hallucinating as a result of his cold.

Just when he finally managed to calm himself enough to take the seat across from Shi Yao, she suddenly seemed to recall something. Turning her head towards the counter, she shouted, “Boss, I forgot to tell you just now! I want four large bowls of wontons!”

L-l-large bowls?

So, I wasn’t hearing things?

Then… maybe her friends asked her to bring back some breakfast for them?

Due to his cold, Lin Jiage’s head was spinning a little, so he didn’t dwell too much on the question.

…

Very soon, four large bowls of wontons were served.

Lin Jiage picked up his spoon, and as he elegantly stirred his wontons around to dissipate the heat, Shi Yao had already finished half a bowl.

When Lin Jiage was on his third wonton, Shi Yao had already finished one large bowl.

When Lin Jiage was halfway through his bowl of wontons, Shi Yao had already finished her second bowl.

By the time Lin Jiage finished two-thirds of his bowl of wontons, Shi Yao was already halfway through her third bowl.

At this point, Lin Jiage decided to just put aside his bowl of wontons and watch Shi Yao instead.

When Shi Yao’s third bowl of wontons finally reached the bottom, Lin Jiage stared at the three empty large bowls before him and blinked his eyes in bewilderment. He blinked again. Then, his shattered soul finally returned to him once more.

So, you really did order three bowls of wontons for yourself?

But that’s three large bowls!

It took a long time before Lin Jiage could finally figure out what he wanted to say: She sure can eat!!
