King of Kings, start with a perfect record and strive for the top spot.

Seeing Lin Xueyao chatting incessantly with her mother while smiling, Ye Lan felt a surge of jealousy.

"Mom, I think I'm the one who's truly your son. Why do you only care about Xueyao and not ask about me at all?"

Ye Lan complained, her tone full of vying for favor.

To everyone's surprise, Ms. Zhang Fengxia did not change her attitude after hearing this; instead, she became even more aggressive.

"You brat, you're tough and won't die out there, but Xueyao is delicate and can't stand the slightest grievance."

Ye Lan turned her face away speechlessly. Well, he was just being nosy.

It seems there's no place for him in this family anymore.

He had already noticed this when they were having their New Year's Eve dinner.

Whether it's her dad, mom, or her younger sister who used to admire her, they all seem to like Lin Xueyao a little more.

However, Lin Xueyao does have that charm; she is well-behaved, obedient, and very sensible. In comparison, Ye Lan, this troublesome little devil, really has nothing for parents to miss.

During high school, Ye Lan skipped school every day, and her parents never bothered to contact her whenever the school teachers called home.

The phrase the two elders said most often was, "I might as well die out there."

However, Ye Lan's vitality is as tenacious as a cockroach, and the two elders' "wishes" always fall through.

Perhaps because he was too ignorant when he was young, his parents rarely paid attention to him.

If Ye Lan hadn't brought Lin Xueyao back with her this Chinese New Year, the two elders probably wouldn't have even given him a second glance.

Ye Lan rolled over and lay on her side on the lawn, gently stroking the soft fur of the raccoon cat.

The kitten squinted its eyes, its white whiskers trembling slightly, its expression one of enjoyment and ecstasy, much like Lin Xueyao's.

Ye Lan always believed that Lin Xueyao was a kitten in her previous life.

Both their flexibility and their expressions are as if they were made from the same mold.

Zhang Fengxia chatted with Lin Xueyao for a long time until dusk, when the setting sun dyed the clouds orange, before they reluctantly hung up the phone.

Lin Xueyao put her phone in her pocket, looked at Ye Lan, her long eyelashes fluttering up and down, bathed in golden light, like gilding.

"Are you hungry?" Ye Lan asked softly.

"A little hungry."

"Let's go eat then, and fill our stomachs first."

Ye Lan stood up from the lawn, patted off the weeds stuck to her body. Some of the weeds were embedded in the fibers of her clothes, so she had to pull them off one by one by hand.

Lin Xueyao had no such concerns. She had Ye Lan's coat under her buttocks, and her body was spotless, without a single weed.

After Ye Lan finished dealing with the situation, the two of them walked along the roadside and found a noodle shop nearby.

The noodle shop has an interesting name: See You Again.

But when the two bowls of beef noodles were served, Ye Lan was dumbfounded. The beef was as thin as a cicada's wing, even thinner than Lanzhou ramen, as if it would be blown away by the wind at any moment.

He strongly suspects that all the chefs who make Lanzhou noodles were trained by him.

Lin Xueyao picked up a piece of beef with her chopsticks and placed it between the two of them. She could even see the hair on Ye Lan's face through the beef.

Its light transmittance can only be described as phenomenal.

The key point is that the price is outrageously expensive.

This bowl of beef noodles costs 24 yuan, it's more profitable than selling miracle pills.

Ye Lan slammed her chopsticks on the table angrily. "Boss, I have a question for you. With the way you run your business, are your parents still alive?"

"Don't ask these irrelevant questions," an indignant man eating noodles next door said.

Clearly, he also ordered beef noodles.

Hearing the commotion, the ramen shop owner glanced at Ye Lan with disdain in his eyes.

Clearly, he didn't take Ye Lan, this young upstart, seriously.

Ye Lan smirked, thinking to herself, "You're finished, kid!"

If I don't make you submit today, then I'm not surnamed Ye!

"See you again"? With your knife skills, I'm afraid we'll never meet again!

Seeing that Ye Lan was truly angry, Lin Xueyao lowered her head and silently drank her soup, only daring to glance at her without saying a word.

"Boss, a plate of beef, please." Ye Lan suddenly raised her hand.

The shop owner glanced at Ye Lan sideways, thinking she was provoking him, and said irritably, "A plate of beef is 78. Think it over before you buy."

"I've thought it through. I'd like a plate of beef."

Seeing that Ye Lan still insisted, the boss stopped making noodles, picked up a cleaver and walked towards the cooked beef next to the cutting board.

With a swift stroke, he sliced ​​up a whole plate of beef.

The beef was still as thin as a cicada's wing, but it was spread all over the plate, so at first glance it looked quite substantial.

Ye Lan didn't say anything, and directly poured all the meat into her bowl.

Seeing this, the boss snorted and inwardly cursed Ye Lan.

He brought such a beautiful girl out for Valentine's Day, but all he did was eat ramen and he even poured all the meat into his own bowl.

I don't know if this girl is blind, how could she fall for a man like that!

The boss sighed, shook his head, and returned to his workstation.

"You've received a five-star review! Go and interact with the customer who loves you."

The boss's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly took out his phone.

His noodle shop has been open for several years, and he has never received a single five-star review, not one.

Now that he's finally received one, of course he has to take a look.

Upon entering the platform and opening his own store's reviews, the comment with five small yellow stars immediately caught his eye.

"The portion of beef noodles is very generous. A bowl full of beef costs 20 yuan, and you can't even see the noodles."

Below the comment is an image.

Thin slices of beef, as thin as cicada wings, are placed on top of white noodles, making it a truly full bowl of beef with not a trace of noodles in sight.

The boss's heart skipped a beat. Realizing something, he turned around abruptly and stared wide-eyed at Ye Lan, who was eating noodles.

Without a doubt, this five-star review was given by Ye Lan.

The rules of food delivery platforms state that negative reviews can be removed through appeals, but positive reviews cannot.

Especially the perfect five-star review.

As the only five-star review for this store, this review will definitely appear at the very top of all the reviews.

A bowl of beef noodles that costs 20 yuan and is made entirely of beef is truly a rare find in Shanghai.

Customers will definitely buy after seeing this review, but if they find out they've been scammed after paying on delivery, they'll inevitably leave negative reviews.

The vetting process on food delivery platforms is very strict.

Every negative review is manually reviewed, so there is almost no chance of misjudgment.

In addition, once the negative reviews exceed a certain percentage, the store will be removed from the platform.

The punishment is quite severe, and every shop owner handles it with extreme caution.

He slowly stood up, forced a kind smile onto his face, rubbed his hands together, and approached Ye Lan with an awkward and restrained expression.

"Young man, consider these two bowls of noodles and the plate of beef a gift from me today. Could you please delete that positive review for me?"

Ye Lan ate her ramen, which had no beef in it, snorted coldly, and looked at the owner with a mocking smile.

"Boss, I find you really strange. Everyone else begs to delete their bad reviews, but you're the one who wants me to delete my good ones."

"It's all because your positive review was too scathing," the boss cursed inwardly.

"I don't think it's necessary to delete comments. Writing more positive reviews can attract more customers to your store."

As Ye Lan spoke, she used Lin Xueyao's phone to give the boss another five-star review.

The boss was heartbroken when he saw this.
