Chapter 25: Wang Dong'er and Huo Yuhao's Fateful Gaze Meets in Front of the Grilled Fish Stall
The grilled fish stall is doing better and better. More and more students are queuing up around it.
Huo Yuhao was busy non-stop. He put the five grilled fish into a paper bag and handed it over.
Dai Huabin took the paper bag, which was a little hot to the touch, and handed one to Zhu Lu first.
"Be careful, it's hot," Dai Huabin warned.
Zhu Lu obediently took the grilled fish, opened her little mouth and gently bit off the edge.
The crispy fish skin made a crunchy sound.
"Hua Bin, it tastes really good. You should try it." Zhu Lu handed the piece she had already taken a bite of to Dai Hua Bin's mouth.
Dai Huabin didn't stand on ceremony and took a big bite of fish from Zhu Lu's hand.
The taste is indeed very good.
The meat was tender and cooked to perfection. But in Dai Huabin's opinion, it was merely a street food that was above average.
The reason this grilled fish was able to win over so many talented young women is partly due to the protagonist's halo.
This scene caught the eye of Cui Yajie, who deliberately shivered.
"Ugh, I can't stand it! The sour smell in the air is even stronger than the smell of grilled fish. Can you two please consider the feelings of us single people?"
Cui Yajie rolled her eyes.
Zhu Lu withdrew her hand somewhat embarrassedly.
Dai Huabin burst out laughing upon hearing this, and continued in the same vein:
"If you can't stand it, then hurry up and find someone else. If all else fails, I can make do with whatever you can find."
Cui Yajie was amused by him, and gently punched Dai Huabin's shoulder, saying coquettishly:
"You're so mean. You make jokes like that in front of Lulu, aren't you afraid she'll get jealous?"
Zhu Lu smiled gently, leaning slightly closer to Dai Huabin, her voice soft: "No, it's fine as long as Huabin likes it."
Upon hearing this, Cui Yajie was stunned, and even Tang Ya, who was about to deceive people, looked at Zhu Lu incredulously.
Zhu Lu felt quite at ease.
Which of the most powerful men among the top nobles of the Star Luo Empire doesn't have multiple wives and concubines?
The same is true of the White Tiger Duke.
More importantly, ever since they completed that extremely perfect transformation of their martial soul fusion skill, the spiritual and physical unity they shared was undeniable.
Zhu Lu could now feel Dai Huabin's doting affection for her with perfect clarity.
Since Hua Bin's heart is with her, what does a few jokes matter?
As long as Hua Bin is happy, even if he really takes a few girls into the family, his official fiancée will be tolerant.
On the other side, Wang Dong'er, who had been staring at Huo Yuhao behind the grill, suddenly turned her head when she heard the commotion.
Her gaze swept back and forth between Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, muttering words like "pervert" and "hooligan."
However, her attention was quickly diverted to the paper bag that Dai Huabin was carrying.
The overpowering aroma of perilla and cumin wafted straight into her nose.
Dai Huabin took out the remaining three grilled fish from the paper bag and handed them to Cui Yajie, Xiao Xiao, and Wang Dong'er respectively.
Wang Dong'er looked at the grilled fish handed to her and hesitated for half a second.
She couldn't resist the allure of the fragrance and quickly reached out to take it, all the while trying to justify herself:
"Hmph, for the sake of this grilled fish, I'll let bygones be bygones for you looking around earlier. That's more like it."
Dai Huabin himself didn't eat any.
The five of them did not continue to block the front of the grilled fish stall, but retreated to an open space to the side.
The food street was bustling with people, and their small group quickly became an extremely eye-catching sight.
Wang Dong'er's long, light blue hair and delicate, beautiful face were already very striking.
In addition, there's the aloof Zhu Lu, the charming and pretty Cui Yajie, and the adorable twin-tailed Xiao Xiao.
The four beautiful girls with very different styles gathered together, and almost all the students passing by slowed down their pace.
"Look over there, are those the freshmen this year? They look so outrageous!"
"That girl with the light blue hair is absolutely stunning! I dare say she's definitely qualified to be the most beautiful girl in Shrek Academy's outer school."
"That black-haired girl next to me has such an amazing figure! Is this really the level of development a 11 or 12-year-old can have?"
Quiet praises and exclamations could be heard from all around.
Wang Dong'er felt very pleased to hear these words.
She slightly raised her chin, took a bite of the crispy grilled fish, and glanced triumphantly at Dai Huabin, her expression clearly saying: Did you hear that? This girl is the center of attention.
Dai Huabin turned his head away, pretending to be studying the candied hawthorn stall next to him, and completely ignored her.
Dealing with someone as extremely arrogant as Wang Dong'er, trying to please her is absolutely useless.
The more you ignore her, the more frustrated she gets.
Sure enough, seeing that Dai Huabin wouldn't even give her a second glance, Wang Dong'er got so angry that she took a big bite of fish meat, making a crunching sound as she chewed the fish bones.
But the grilled fish was truly delicious. She devoured the fish in no time, not even leaving a drop of the seasoning on her fingers.
She turned her head and saw that Zhu Lu had only eaten half of the fish in her hand.
Zhu Lu ate very slowly, and after taking a couple of bites, she would tear off a small piece and feed it to Dai Huabin.
The way the two of them were sharing a fish as if no one else was around gave Wang Dong'er goosebumps.
Wang Dong'er rubbed her arms and didn't disturb them.
Although she bickered with Dai Huabin all the time, she actually had a very good impression of Zhu Lu.
Wang Dong'er wiped her mouth, feeling that she hadn't had enough, so she simply turned around and walked to the grill.
"Hey, boss, give me two more!" Wang Dong'er generously pulled out ten copper soul coins and slapped them on the wooden table.
Huo Yuhao was tidying up the seasonings on the wire mesh. Hearing the sound, he looked up.
Their eyes met.
Huo Yuhao paused for a moment for no apparent reason.
Looking at the stunningly beautiful girl with long pink and blue hair in front of him, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and an extremely strange palpitation surged up from the bottom of his heart.
It was as if they knew each other.
Wang Dong'er had the same reaction.
She stared blankly into Huo Yuhao's ordinary eyes, her mind going blankly.
What's going on?
How could I possibly have such a ghostly feeling about a commoner selling grilled fish? It must be an illusion, a feeling born of hunger.
Wang Dong'er shook her head, forcibly averting her gaze, and urged:
"Let's grill the fish quickly."
She had no desire to get to know a guy who ran a street stall, especially one who had already spoken to that annoying blond guy.
Because of his extreme inferiority complex, Huo Yuhao ultimately did not speak to Wang Dong'er.
He simply kept his head down, skillfully flipped the two fish on the wire mesh, and sprinkled them with cumin and chili powder.
"Teacher Xiaoya, once these two are grilled, all the fish for today will be sold out."
Huo Yuhao said something to Tang Ya beside him.
Tang Ya had no time to think about the grilled fish right now.
Her big eyes were darting back and forth between Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao.
Especially Xiao Xiao with her pigtails, Dai Huabin just said that this girl has a rare twin martial soul!
