Stop pretending, I'm a security guard, a five-star general!

Early the next morning,

Qin Yu got out of bed immediately.

He glanced at the time on his phone; it was only a little past six in the morning, earlier than when he usually got up for school.

It seems this is what's known as the holiday effect.

However, even though Qin Yu was awake, she didn't leave her warm bed. Instead, she stayed wrapped up, took out her phone, and started scrolling through Douyin (TikTok).

"One hundred yuan, I'll eat whatever the restaurant serves!"

"..."

And with that one swipe, 'snap,' two hours had passed in no time.

It was already past eight o'clock in the morning, which was the time for the three of them to meet.

However, at this moment, Qin Yu was still wrapped in his warm bed, unable to get up.

It was as if there were magnets in the blanket that held him firmly in place.

Thinking of this, he directly spoke in the three-person group chat.

"Brothers, I'm stuck in rush hour traffic here, so I might be a little late."

[Emperor Mao]: "I'm also stuck in traffic here, so I'll be a little late too."

[Azure Beast]: "If I remember correctly, the meeting point we agreed on is no more than 500 meters away from your two houses as the crow flies..."

[Yu Sang] patted [Azure Beast]'s flesh and exclaimed, "You're so smart!"

Emperor Mao patted Azure Beast's flesh and exclaimed, "You're so smart!"

[Azure Beast]: "Get your ass over here right now, you two bastards! I've been waiting here for ages, are you trying to freeze me to death?!"

……

Ten minutes later, Qin Yu and the other two gathered together.

Li Xiaoke looked resentful:

"You two bastards, you said we'd meet at eight, but you made me wait an extra half hour!"

Qin Yu and Liu Damao scratched their heads tactically, pretending not to hear.

"Oh, right! Everyone probably hasn't had breakfast yet, let's go get some," Qin Yu suggested.

"I second that," Liu Damao nodded.

"Damn it! You two bastards, don't try to change the subject! Stop it!"

Qin Yu gave an embarrassed smile and said awkwardly:

"Sorry, young man with thick eyebrows, to make up for it, we'll treat you to some authentic Jiangnan snacks."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoke's expression softened.

"Hmph, that's pretty much it."

Afterwards, the three of them, arm in arm and laughing, arrived at a noodle shop.

Looking at the shop sign that read "Old Imperial Beijing Fried Noodles," Li Xiaoke was speechless.

"Is this the authentic Jiangnan snack you two wanted to take me to try?"

Qin Yu waved his hand: "You wouldn't understand."

"As the old saying goes, oranges grown in the south are sweet, but those grown in the north are bitter. Since this Zha Jiang Mian (noodles with soybean paste) has opened in our Jiangnan City, it must be a genuine Jiangnan snack."

Li Xiaoke's lips twitched involuntarily: "Heh, I don't believe you for a second!"

The three then went into a Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste) shop.

Qin Yu shouted magnanimously at the proprietress:

"Boss lady, give me three bowls of noodles with soybean paste, but no soybean paste and no noodles."

Boss lady:? ? ?

"Hey, what I mean is, please give me three bowls of water first."

The proprietress was speechless after hearing this.

If you want water, then get water. What nonsense are you talking about?

While waiting for the noodles, Qin Yu looked at Liu Damao and asked:

"Da Mao, since that's an underground fighting tournament, can the three of us honest and law-abiding citizens participate?"

Liu Damao rolled his eyes, somewhat annoyed.

"If you were a law-abiding citizen, there wouldn't be any hooligans or scoundrels in the world."

Qin Yu:? ? ?

"Don't slander me! Throughout the entire Jiangnan and Jiangbei area, everyone knows that I, Qin Yu, am a living Lei Feng, doing good deeds without ever seeking recognition."

Li Xiaoke was speechless: "Although my Chinese isn't very good, do you think what you're saying makes sense?"

"If you do good deeds anonymously, how do you expect everyone to know you're a living Lei Feng?"

Qin Yu's lips twitched involuntarily.

wipe!

I've run into someone who takes things seriously!

Just as Qin Yu and his two companions were joking and laughing, a middle-aged man suddenly walked in from outside, holding a selfie stick and looking like a restaurant blogger.

"Friends, this is Chicken Dao. Today, I'm here to try this so-called Old Beijing Fried Sauce Noodles and see if it's authentic or not. Let's go!"
