Chapter 527: Chapter 419: Gourmet Food You Can Only Buy by Running_2

Even while talking, Lin Yutong continued running, "Can you stop... I’m so tired!"

Huang Shurui turned around and proudly raised the freshly made milk tea pancake: "Yutong, take a break and try this. The milk tea’s ready too, it’s on the cart back there, you can grab it yourself."

Lin Yutong really couldn’t run anymore. After all, she had caught up, and considering how well Huang Shurui performed last night, her legs were a bit weak. She could only rest her hands on her knees and look speechlessly at her boyfriend’s back.

"What the heck!"

Lin Yutong panted, looking at the cup of milk tea and a strange pancake in her hand.

She’d had this kind of pancake at night markets before, it was quite a decent snack, but the one she was holding...

She could vaguely see the black pearls and pale yellow creamy substance wrapped inside. If she remembered correctly, these pancakes usually tasted savory and were often smeared with chili sauce or wrapped with ingredients like hot dogs.

"What kind of bizarre food is this?"

Lin Yutong hesitated for a moment and finally sipped the milk tea, the icy taste instantly dispelling much of the heat that had built up from running.

Then she looked at the pancake. If it weren’t for the golden crispy outer layer, the ingredients wrapped inside might be quite tempting.

After contemplating for a few seconds, she took a gentle bite.

A single bite landed right in the center, allowing her to taste both the pancake and all the ingredients wrapped inside.

With a slight chew, the crispy pancake exterior contrasted wonderfully with the creamy texture of the milk tea sauce inside. The brown sugar pearls were chewy, while the hidden cheese egg added a hint of savory flavor, perfectly balanced by the sweetness with the fragrance of basil.

The various flavors exploded in her mouth yet existed in a strangely harmonious balance.

"This..." Lin Yutong was a bit stunned.

It was a taste and texture completely beyond her culinary understanding, like a baby who’d been drinking formula all its life tasting an egg for the first time—who knew such flavors existed in the world?

From that moment on, for the rest of her life, no formula could compare to that bite of egg in deliciousness!

That was exactly how Lin Yutong felt at the time.

Her pupils dilated slightly as her tongue instinctively licked the milk cream lingering on her lips. Even in a bustling city, she felt like she was in a vacuum, her mind filled only with the unprecedentedly fresh experience on her taste buds.

"Is it that good?" she murmured, standing up straight, her sweat-soaked sunshirt clinging to her back.

Looking up, her boyfriend continued behaving erratically, slowly running alongside the yellow food truck. She still had no idea what she was running for.

Since the food truck was moving very slowly, Lin Yutong could still see some happenings, although not very clearly.

She saw the black-clad owner of the truck, with his chin resting on an unknown object on his left arm, repeatedly moving his right hand, as if playing an instrument.

"Violin?" Lin Yutong instinctively thought, "No way... Is Shurui chasing that food truck just to see a violin performance?"

Lin Yutong felt like her brain couldn’t process it. Was the purchase of milk tea pancakes complemented by a violin performance?

"Wait for me!" Lin Yutong shouted loudly.

If it was a violin performance, she had to watch it too!

Grasping the bitten pancake in her left hand and the milk tea cup clinking with ice in her right, her hair tousled by the hot wind, she ran after the truck, not forgetting to take another bite of the pancake.

The food truck moved past the shade of phoenix trees, as Chen Mo held his left arm straight and delicately sliced dough with the Willow Leaf Blade in his right hand.

A thin noodle dropped spiraling into the boiling pot.

Finally catching up, Lin Yutong, panting and eating, felt a bit uncomfortable but just couldn’t stop.

Moreover...

Why doesn’t this truck ever stop?

Lin Yutong was about to go crazy, she was almost exhausted.

Just then, she finally saw clearly the instrument the suited owner of the food truck was fiddling with.

It wasn’t an instrument at all!

Noodles swirled and flew into the pot, boiling and tumbling in the scalding water. It wasn’t music being played, but noodles being cut!

Ridiculous.

No idea how many times Chen Mo repeated the action, but the owner deftly grabbed a large lunchbox from the cabinet side. After boiling for a little longer, the owner scooped all the noodles out, placing them skillfully into the lunchbox.

Even while running, as Chen Mo kept adding various ingredients to the bowl, Huang Shurui could smell some kind of seafood aroma mixed with meaty fragrance, causing his Adam’s apple to move unconsciously.

"Here, quick hold it!" Chen Mo propped his elbow on the cabinet, handing out the piping-hot noodles.

Finally waking up from his daze, Huang Shurui instinctively took the noodles, his legs still running.

Chen Mo laughed, "Bro, stop running, you can’t eat noodles on the run."

Only then did Huang Shurui dazedly stop and stare at the lunchbox in his hands.

The disposable lunchbox was exquisitely made, with a raised rim at the bottom, making it not hot to hold. Inside, the glistening amber-colored diced pork caught the eye, while the Japanese dashi seasoned with kelp and star anise created a fragrant web in the hot air.

The most ridiculous thing was, the malt aroma accompanied the rising steam, making Huang Shurui inhale several more times compulsively.

This was a scent he’d rarely experienced since he mostly ate noodles bought ready-made and cooked, given his upbringing here.

Though he’d had freshly made and cooked noodles before, he’d never smelled such intense malt aroma.

"What’s the situation?" Lin Yutong panted slightly, "What exactly are you running for? Are you silly, can’t you ask the owner to stop to buy it?"

Huang Shurui swallowed, "No, the owner won’t stop, he said someone is chasing him from behind!"

Lin Yutong turned to look, apart from pedestrians, there was no one running on the street, who was chasing, anyway?

Ridiculous.

"But I asked you to buy milk tea, what’s going on?"

Lin Yutong held the half-eaten milk tea pancake, pointing at the bowl in her boyfriend’s hands.

"I don’t know either."

Huang Shurui was still confused, he just went to buy milk tea, but why did he end up with a pancake and a bowl of noodles?

"Just..." Huang Shurui tried to recall, "He wouldn’t stop so as I kept following, I ended up buying them."

Lin Yutong was speechless again.

"Alright, alright, bought them, so be it. Although a bit pricey, consider it dinner."

She took out a tissue from her bag and wiped the edge of a flower bed, "Sit and eat, try this milk tea pancake, it’s super delicious!"

Huang Shurui handed the bowl to his girlfriend, "Then you try the noodles first."

Lin Yutong rolled her eyes, who wants hot noodles in this heat?

Already sweating from the running felt like her makeup might melt, wouldn’t eating hot noodles make her sweat even more?

But seeing her boyfriend’s anticipation, she broke the disposable chopsticks and gently stirred the noodles. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Just a small bite, right? Her boyfriend had run so much to buy these noodles it’d be disappointing not to try them, right?

Then she’d give the rest for him to eat!

Yes, exactly, given his big appetite, he usually finished whatever she couldn’t.

Stirring the noodles, Lin Yutong felt uncomfortable holding them, as her hair would fall forward as she bent down.

She simply stood up, turned around, placed the noodle bowl on the flower bed, crouched down, lifted her hair with one hand, and picked a noodle with the chopsticks.

About to put it in her mouth.

"Oh no!"

The noodle seemed to come alive, slipping deftly from between the chopsticks back into the bowl, splashing some broth.

Startled, Lin Yutong hurriedly wiped her chest with tissues, "It’s all your fault, your fault! Making me eat noodles, now look what happened?"

Huang Shurui was dumbfounded.

His mouth had been ravaged by the delicious milk tea pancake, yet his eyes were fixated on the bowl of noodles.

The noodles were actually this smooth?
