Just like that, one served while the other ate. The two looked completely like the best of colleagues. If someone who did not know them saw this, they would have thought the two were actually best friends.

Even Xie Hao’s wife who knew well the relationship between the two started wondering if Xie Hao had been lying to her all this while after the meal.

But when she gave it more thought, she couldn’t find any reason for Xie Hao to lie about this.

During his free time between cooking different dishes, Yuan Zhou enjoyed watching the satisfaction and joy of his customers while eating. This was a sight that would give many chefs a sense of accomplishment.

“Um?” Yuan Zhou noticed a Superman.

To be precise, it was a man in a Superman outfit. He was about 20 years old, and was probably a cosplayer. He seemed very dedicated to his cosplay, even his hair had been carefully styled.

Of the first batch customers, apart from Mr. Wei’s group who was there for the All-Fish Banquet, the others had already finished eating and left.

In truth, Yuan Zhou wasn’t very curious about cosplayers anymore. Many girl cosplayers were now using the restaurant as their gathering location since it was easier to get publicity there.

But few people cosplayed as Superman since they would have to wear their underwear on the outside.

The Superman ordered a simple Egg Fried Rice set meal and the food did not take long to arrive.

Zhou Jia was the one serving the food to him. It was right now that Yuan Zhou noticed that something seemed to be missing from the restaurant today.

Yuan Zhou shook his head and after sweeping his thoughts away, his attention returned to the Superman again.

The Superman was crying, tears trailing down his face.

“So delicious he’s crying?” Yuan Zhou was astonished.

After all, many literature works would depict delicious food as something so delicious one would cry tears of joy.

But in truth, that rarely happened. And even if that happened, it wouldn’t be due to taste alone. Rather, the recollection of certain events would play a role as well.

Presently, the Superman was eating while crying.

“No, this is definitely not a joyful cry,” Yuan Zhou was no idiot. He was able to easily notice that the Superman’s crying was truly due to grief.

The Superman’s brows were furrowed, and while scooping rice into his mouth, his tears dripped down. The image of this looked quite weird.

But the Superman did not stop eating and his cry was a soundless one.

“Weird,” Yuan Zhou thought to himself.

Perhaps the food was so bad he’s crying? Yuan Zhou was stunned by the idea of this. No matter what, “bad” was a word that one could never use to depict the food at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.

“Impossible. I’m in top form today. My Egg Fried Rice is definitely delicious,” Yuan Zhou was very confident about his own cooking skills. Nevertheless, he still seriously recalled every single detail of him cooking the Egg Fried Rice, including the moment when the meal was served. But he could not locate any problems.

More importantly, this was also unrelated to the system. As a chef, if he had no confidence in his own food, he might as well stop cooking.

Yuan Zhou was unsure what’s going on, but he was sure it was not because of him. He did not ask, as he was never a busybody. Shortly after, the Superman finished his meal and left.

He behaved similarly to a man who used to eat here. After the meal, he bowed down outside the restaurant. It was unknown whether he was bowing to Yuan Zhou or the other customers.

There would always be some odd occurrences happening or odd people appearing at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.

“Old Xie, did you enjoy the meal today?” Mr. Wei asked sincerely.

“Very much. Boss Yuan’s cooking skills are as excellent as the rumors said,” said Xie Hao. As expected, he had been conquered.
