It was precisely because he hadn’t tasted anything like the noodles that Huang Shurui felt a bit dizzy seeing the noodles slip right through his chopsticks.
Added to that, he had just eaten the milk tea pancake in hand, making him feel that this little boss was really quite creative.
If milk tea can blend with pancakes, then these noodles must be good too!
Huang Shurui’s throat started to move involuntarily, "Yutong, are you having noodles?"
"Yes, just wiping my clothes here."
Lin Yutong wiped several tis, but the noodle soup splashed on her chest was still slightly dark yellow. She finally gave up; she’d have to wait until returning to the dorm in the evening to clean it.
But this was just a minor episode; Lin Yutong didn’t want this small matter to spoil her good mood. She lifted her hair and lowered her head; the earlier noodle escape had raised her vigilance, prompting her to get her mouth as close to the bowl as possible.
Then she picked up half a strand of noodles and bit it off gently. At the sa ti, Lin Yutong had already pushed both the chopsticks and bowl outward, preparing to let her boyfriend eat the rest of this big bowl of noodles.
However...
As Lin Yutong bit off the noodles, an incredibly rich wheat aroma filled her mouth instantly. As she chewed slightly, the noodle’s special springy texture bounced between her teeth.
Huang Shurui saw his girlfriend pushing the bowl over, finished packing the pancake bag, and was ready to reach out and start. Who knew just as the hand extended!
Unexpectedly, Lin Yutong feigned a move. She leaned in with the bowl she had pushed, then imdiately bowed her head again, biting off several strands of noodles simultaneously to stuff in her mouth.
Her mouth stuffed full, all her body’s cells imrsed in the delight of carbohydrates, Lin Yutong savored the wheat aroma swirling around her mouth, along with an indescribable umami.
This umami... seed to be particularly noticeable only when chewed with each bite, so her noodle-eating movents beca faster and exaggerated, looking very earnest!
Not only that, the pork pieces inadvertently mixed with the noodles also started to exude their charm as she ate.
These were ticulously diced by Chen Mo, each piece perfectly comprised: pigskin, fat, lean at combination.
Biting into it, the soft pigskin instantly lted into gelatin, the fat almost instantly dissolved into at juice, and the lean at was anything but tough, lting after a few chews.
"Sothing’s not right..." Lin Yutong felt after a big mouthful of noodles, there seed to be so unexpected umami left in her mouth.
"Not the umami from the noodles, nor the broth."
She picked up a piece of pork separately, eating it and savoring it carefully, "It’s actually the umami in the pork pieces?"
"This braised pork not only has the aroma of at but also a sort of..." Lin Yutong pondered, finally recalling what taste it was.
It had a hint of oceanic flavor?
Looking at the bowl of noodles, it seed simply ordinary noodles, made up of noodles, tea eggs, braised pork pieces. But why does it have such a complex and rich texture and taste?
These flavor combinations together didn’t feel awkward at all to eat, only remarkably complex aroma.
Lin Yutong forgot she might ruin her makeup, bowed her head and continued to eat eagerly, even wishing she could stuff all the noodles into her mouth at once!
Because it seed only by doing so, her whole body’s cells could experience maximum joy.
Beside her, Huang Shurui, several tis when he saw Lin Yutong pause her eating, reached out his hand, but just as he did so, she imdiately bowed her head and resud eating.
Until...
"Gulp, gulp!" Lin Yutong held the bowl, gulping down the noodle broth in two or three mouthfuls, feeling slightly full but exceptionally satisfied. Heat radiated from her body, and sweat beaded on her forehead.
Eating such a large, steaming bowl of noodles on a hot day, sweating profusely, sure brought an indescribable delight!
"No way, sweetheart..." Huang Shurui stared at his girlfriend wiping sweat from her face, "You didn’t leave a single bite?"
Lin Yutong wiped her sweat and fanned herself to cool down, then realized, "Oh no! Did I finish it?"
Upon hearing that, Huang Shurui was stupefied.
Between us, you either finished it or not, how can you pretend you’re completely unaware?
Did you not know if you finished the noodles?
But looking at Lin Yutong, if she seed genuinely unaware.
Lin Yutong chuckled, "Shurui, why don’t we go buy another one? This noodle is really super delicious!"
Huang Shurui thought, are you still not full? Half a pancake plus a large bowl of noodles, oh right, and over half a cup of milk tea; still not full?
"After all, I accidentally finished it just now, preventing you from tasting it, so we’ll buy another one, and you can have it, okay?"
Seeing his girlfriend’s eager eyes, Huang Shurui’s belly growled twice helplessly, sighed, "Alright, let’s get another one."
Lin Yutong’s eyes sparkled, "Then hurry and chase it!"
Huang Shurui: ???
He turned to look at the food cart from earlier, only to find the cart had moved a distance away.
"Boss! Wait! Another portion of cart noodles, please!" Huang Shurui promptly dashed off, shouting as he ran.
Thinking what did I do to deserve this, why is the world making noodles so complicated? Can’t you please stop by the roadside for us to buy a portion calmly, instead of having to chase it down?
