As she entered the slightly dirty glass door, she was greeted by a warm wave of rich soup aroma.
The small shop, about ten square meters, was designed like a Japanese small eatery, allowing the chef to immediately serve noodles to customers. The space, crowded with about ten seats, was fully occupied, mostly by laborers with a few office workers mixed in, but no women her age.
Thus, when she entered, her graceful figure and high-end branded outfit, not to mention her age, immediately drew everyone’s attention.
The only one who didn’t even glance at her but greeted her was the tall figure busily moving behind the food counter. “Welcome!”
His voice was deep and rich, yet carried an unexpectedly elegant nobility.
Thank you, Uncle!” Shang Kexin saw the old man’s kindness and quickly helped him move his bowl, chopsticks, and side dishes to the adjacent seat.
“Ah?” The male who wasn’t given a seat looked somewhat disappointed.
“Thank you all!” Shang Kexin flashed an unbeatable fresh smile to all the men in the shop, and suddenly, it was like a spring breeze sweeping through, bringing a smooth breath to everyone’s chest, and many couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh.
What a sweet and beautiful smile!
The only one who seemed unaffected by all this was the chef, who skillfully lifted the noodles, placed them in a rich and fragrant broth, sprinkled two drops of his special seasoning, and then set the bowl in front of her.
“Here! Your large bowl of noodles.”
“Wow!”
She looked at the bowl with admiration, seeing how delicious it looked and smelling how fragrant it was. She hurriedly reached for her chopsticks, plunged them in, and immediately lifted the noodles to her mouth.
“Ah! Whew… whew… delicious… hot…”
She laughed excitedly, repeatedly blowing on the food because it was truly very hot.
A group of men were amused by her cute and naive demeanor, while the chef just slightly curved his mouth under his mask, then continued to attend to the customers who had just entered, cooking noodles and preparing side dishes for subsequent customers.
After finishing her noodles and drinking every last drop of the broth, Shang Kexin rubbed her satisfied little belly and noticed everyone was staring at her in astonishment.
