Chapter 531: Chapter 421: To Have It All for Herself, How Far Can a Woman Go? (Part 2)

Who would have thought that an afternoon sunbathing in the park would lead to such an event?

"For tonight, I’ll do anything!"

Young men in their twenties often engage in inexplicable actions for certain things.

Huang Shurui quickly caught up with Xu Zhenghao. For a moment, two men separated by twenty years walked side by side.

"I saw you arguing with your girlfriend just now?"

Huang Shurui glanced at Xu Zhenghao, puzzled, "How did you know?" Then he suddenly realized something, "Are you chasing after the noodle cart too?"

Xu Zhenghao wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded, "Yes, I just had a bowl. I’ve never tasted such delicious noodles before. When I turned around, the cart had vanished."

"This vendor is strange, isn’t he? If he’s here to set up a stand, why keep moving? Wouldn’t it be better to stay put? How wicked!"

Xu Zhenghao didn’t mind, "People nowadays lack exercise. This way is actually pretty good. Not only can you enjoy good food, but also get some exercise. If it helps with weight loss, even better. You have to run at least two kilometers to burn off one bowl of noodles, just right to eat and digest a bowl, haha."

Huang Shurui was speechless, feeling the pace of this uncle was unbearably slow. "Uncle, I’ll run ahead! Otherwise, my girlfriend will get angry."

"Alright."

Xu Zhenghao watched Huang Shurui’s silhouette moving ahead and couldn’t help but envy him. If only he could be twenty years younger!

Suddenly, he thought of something!

"Hey! Hey!" Xu Zhenghao shouted loudly, "Wait a moment!"

Huang Shurui stopped and turned his head, slightly impatient but still maintaining politeness, "Go ahead."

"Can you still keep running?"

"Yes."

"Here’s the thing, young man. I’m really struggling to keep running. Hmm... You’re buying noodles too, right? Could you help me buy a portion when you catch up? It’s 40 yuan per serving, right?"

After saying this, Xu Zhenghao took out 80 yuan and handed it over, "I’ll treat you to your serving!"

Isn’t this a win-win situation?

He didn’t need to run anymore, just walk a little quicker, and the other could save money on noodles.

Considering the other was a student, money probably wasn’t plentiful for him. 40 yuan per serving might be quite expensive, right?

But for a middle-aged man who’s worked over a decade, it’s a trivial matter!

Huang Shurui looked at the money in the other’s hand, slightly dazed.

Is this okay?

He asked uncertainly, "Are you sure you want this? Just by running ahead and helping you buy noodles, I can earn 40 yuan?"

Xu Zhenghao nodded, "Yes." He reminded, "I suggest you run now. If you delay further, that cart might already be far away."

With a swift motion, Huang Shurui took the money, "I’ll wait for you ahead!"

With money as motivation, Huang Shurui’s steps became lighter.

Turning the corner, he spotted the cart moving slowly, and quickened his pace.

A moment later, slightly panting, Huang Shurui leaned against the cart’s counter, "Two servings of cart noodle, please!"

Chen Mo glanced at the young man, "Haven’t had enough?"

Huang Shurui swallowed, not answering but asked, "Could I have a glass of water?"

Chen Mo nodded, filled a disposable cup with purified water, and handed it over, "Wait, I’ll start making it now."

His left hand supported the board while the right hand kneaded the noodles.

This graceful action left Huang Shurui fascinated, he couldn’t get enough of watching.

Ten minutes passed.

Lin Yutong and Xu Zhenghao finally reached the next block.

They walked several hundred meters and saw Huang Shurui, cup in hand, leaning against a streetlamp enjoying a drink, with two bowls of noodles on a nearby bench.

The two exchanged glances.

"Your boyfriend is really fit."

Lin Yutong blushed unexpectedly, "He really is."

The two quickened their steps and arrived. Huang Shurui nodded at Xu Zhenghao, then pushed a bowl towards his girlfriend, "Here, I got it."

"I didn’t say I wanted more, just wanted to share it with you... It’s all your fault, you ate yours without waiting for me."

Initially considering Lin Yutong unreasonable, Huang Shurui was used to it. Hearing this, his prior annoyance dissipated, replaced with guilt.

Indeed, Yutong just wanted to share the delicacy with him, what was wrong in that?

Fortunately, he didn’t lose his temper earlier and bought another bowl. Thankfully, he didn’t undermine Yutong’s intention, and indeed, a bowl to share. Finally, emotions were all a woman wanted.

In a clear moment.

Lin Yutong spoke again.

"To punish you for what you did earlier, you’re not allowed to eat this bowl!"

She said, brushing back her hair and breaking her chopsticks, single-handedly started slurping the noodles.

Huang Shurui: ???

For a moment, he couldn’t discern whether Yutong meant it or was it an excuse to hog the noodles?

Is there no trust between people?

But truth be told, Xu Zhenghao and Lin Yutong eating the noodles were indeed enticing.

If it were regular noodles, it’d be fine. You could pick them up with chopsticks and consume gracefully.

But this cart noodle was different.

Huang Shurui knew well; picking it up with chopsticks was extremely challenging, slippery like eels between them, a careless move will splash soup everywhere.

The best way to eat it: hold the bowl, press your lips to the edge, scoop one end into your mouth, then suck it up~~

Slurp the entire noodle into your mouth.

This process often accompanies loud noises, but such sounds are quite gratifying.

Huang Shurui continually swallowed his saliva but dared not buy another, fearing Lin Yutong’s anger.

He could only watch silently as she finished the noodles.

Feeling refreshed from the meal, Xu Zhenghao removed his outerwear, it was just too hot. With two bowls down, he felt slightly bloated.

Thinking that if only he could eat continuously without feeling full, he’d happily have two more!

With those substantial bowls in him, his blood sugar surged, making him drowsy.

He settled to rest in the cool shade by the flower bed.

While resting, Xu Zhenghao checked his social media, the post he shared had several comments.

Ah-Can: Brother Hao, why are you running in a suit? Are you joining us for the night market?

Xu Zhenghao replied: I stumbled upon a super fun little stall, it offers exercise and dining. Their noodles are truly delicious!

Xiaoxia: Zhenghao brother, you feel like running today? You look sweaty, must be drained!

Xu Zhenghao shook his head, replying: I wasn’t running; I was buying tasty noodles!

Among other comments, most were from colleagues, and Xu Zhenghao responded to each, knowing every response was visible to others.

In Taiwan, it’s common for close colleagues to gather for a meal after work.

Little did he know, upon seeing Xu Zhenghao’s replies, a few closer colleagues began private chats immediately.

The company’s admin director still in the office, stared at a document deep in thought.

Xu Zhenghao’s company, a foreign enterprise, last year’s check-up revealed over seventy percent of employees had some form of fatty liver.

Over forty percent exhibited various forms of sub-health conditions.

The foreign headquarters were seriously concerned about employees’ health, attributing the issue to Taiwan’s management failure.

Currently, rumors suggested that Europe was drafting a law that if a company failed to ensure employee health, its products would be barred from markets.

Though speculative, these rumors had drawn much attention from foreign firms.

Amidst such concerns, the Taiwan branch faced similar issues.

Yang Jianming, the admin director, felt stressed.

With thousands of night markets in Taiwan, asking employees to limit indulgence was unrealistic!

And fitness is inherently personal; enforcing company-wide initiatives seemed inappropriate, right?

Yang Jianming mulled over the document, pondering for long without a solution.

Bored, he picked up his phone, seeking inspiration online.

Just a swipe.

He saw Xu Zhenghao’s latest update.
