Chapter 171 - Shorthanded (1/2)

“Actually, it’s not enough to restore the cost. If we don’t consider the labor costs, the Three Prawn Noodles can be further upgraded, but the cooking method will be more complicated.”

Xu Le commented lightly.

Li Shengsheng put his elbow on his shoulder and said with a smile, “I’ll also go to the venue to vote for you in the finals.”

“Mmm.”

Xu Le smiled politely and thought to himself, ‘You can’t even tell which one was made by me. You’re talking nonsense again.’

He turned his head to look at Li Shengsheng and felt as if he had returned to a few years ago when they were in university. The two of them had their arms around each other’s shoulders as they swaggered around.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t even reach the shoulder of Li Shengsheng now.

There were gains and losses. After thinking for a while, Xu Le did not feel that it was a pity and secretly started thinking about the finals.

They strolled around the night market from beginning to end. The few of them took a walk to digest their food. As they walked on the road by the river, the evening wind blew against their faces with a hint of coolness. The river water sparkled under the moonlight.

Lu Yuxi’s eyelids gradually started to droop. She was so sleepy that she was almost feeling dizzy. “Let’s go back. I’m so tired that I can’t open my eyes.”

“Sure.”

Li Shengsheng reached out and hailed an oncoming taxi. He stuffed Lu Yuxi into the passenger seat and buckled her seatbelt for her. Then, he jumped into the back seat with Xu Le.

“It’s on the way anyway. The driver can send you back first before sending me back.” Li Shengsheng clung to him and blinked. He said with sincerity, “Little kid, did we know each other in the past?”

Xu Le looked at him as if he was retarded.

“Mmm, alright, I remembered wrongly.” Although Li Shengsheng was awkward, he still refused to give up. “We know each other now. I heard that your culinary skills are super good. Can I go to your house for free meals next time?”

Xu Le nodded and said, “Anything.”

The atmosphere in the car was quiet. Lu Yuxi’s even breathing could be heard from the front row. She was clearly snoring. Li Shengsheng glanced at Xu Le with a thoughtful expression.

“What’s wrong?”

“No, I just feel that you’re very similar to my previous friend. No wonder Lu Yuxi has such a good relationship with you.”

Li Shengsheng was from the same school as him, so it was normal for them to have a few common friends. Xu Le snorted in his heart and thought to himself, ‘These guys are really disloyal. They knew the school belle back then and didn’t introduce her to be my friend. That way, he could have met Lu Yuxi earlier.’

Thinking that Lu Yuxi was about to leave after the competition ended, Xu Le pretended not to care and asked casually, “I heard that she’s already married.”

“Shh.” Li Shengsheng covered his mouth with his hand and looked at the sleeping Lu Yuxi in the rearview mirror. He lowered his voice and said, “How could that be? She had a crush on a close friend of mine before. Later, tsk, my friend had an accident, so she announced to the public that her husband had died.”

Looking at Xu Le’s gradually widening eyes, Li Shengsheng waved his hand and said, “Don’t tell her that I told you. This matter is too complicated. I can’t explain it in detail.”

After explaining, the two of them fell silent until the car stopped at the destination. He shook Lu Yuxi a few times before waking her up.

“We’re here. Let’s go back to sleep.”
