After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved-Chapter 312: It’s all a first for Li Muchen

Hearing Lan Yu ask such a serious question with such a ridiculous tone, Han Jing was at a loss for words.

"Not to say anything offensive, but what exactly is going on in that head of yours every day?"

Han Jing looked at Lan Yu with disdain, and patted her on the head.

It was probably the first time in Li Muchen’s life that someone had asked him such a question.

He was silent for a few seconds before replying, "Indeed, it can be found, but five minutes is a bit of an exaggeration."

Looking up, "To investigate someone’s entire personal identity and history, it would at least take half a day."

"I’m not entirely clear on how it’s done, but if you really want to know, I can give you my assistant’s contact information."

Li Muchen spoke in a mild tone, but his response was not perfunctory. He held respect and importance because she was Lu Sheng’s friend.

In fact, Lan Yu was just joking. It was her first time interacting so closely, and a few jokes could lighten up the mood.

However, she didn’t expect that Muchen would take her question seriously and even offered to give her his assistant’s contact information.

President Li, she really feels like crying.

"No need, no need. It’s enough to know it can truly be checked, thank you, President Li!"

Lan Yu raised her right hand, "Since that’s the case, let’s go in together now, my stomach is growling with hunger!"

If Lan Yu was usually alone with Lu Sheng, she would certainly be clinging to her.

But with Li Muchen there today, she couldn’t just stick to Lu Sheng and push Muchen aside, so she reluctantly decided to go with Han Jing instead.

So the four of them walked into Food Street, with Han Jing and Lan Yu at the front, and Li Muchen and Lu Sheng following behind.

This Food Street was a long street, quite wide, and lined on both sides with stalls selling all sorts of street food, each stall’s sign more vibrant and conspicuous than the last.

There were more people than Lu Sheng had imagined.

As night fell, Food Street became even livelier, bustling with people. Walking along the street was a matter of squeezing through crowds, each stall had a line of customers waiting.

It looked like most of the customers were from out of town. There were groups of girls in pretty dresses, affectionate couples holding hands as they walked and ate, and bloggers holding selfie sticks explaining as they filmed. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

The street stalls sold a wide array of food – grilled squid, oysters, cold noodles, rolled beancurd sheets, odeng, crispy chicken legs, candied haws, stinky tofu, takoyaki, wheel pies, red bean cakes, and meat and egg buns with glutinous rice...

The sheer variety of food was dazzling.

The mixed scents of various foods drifted together, making people’s mouths water and bellies grumble with hunger.

Once Lan Yu entered Food Street, her eyes couldn’t keep up. She looked here and there wanting to eat everything, wandering erratically from stall to stall.

There were just too many people here, and Han Jing, afraid that Lan Yu would get lost, verbally expressed his disdain for Lan Yu’s lack of ambition, but earnestly followed closely with his actions.

"Then I’ll take Lan Yu over there, Lu Sheng. Take your time with President Li," Han Jing said as he saw Lan Yu excitedly head to another stall, leaving the words for Lu Sheng before hurrying after her.

Lu Sheng and Li Muchen strolled leisurely behind them.

It was apparently Li Muchen’s first visit to a place like Food Street.

It was crowded and noisy, with less than ideal sanitary conditions.

Some mannerless people would casually throw food wrappers and skewers on the roadside.

After Lu Sheng’s previous maneuver, Muchen’s hair was slightly disheveled, with the collar of his grey shirt open, making him look less formal.

Still, his tall stature of 185 cm stood out in the crowd, and his handsome face drew the glances of many girls as they passed.

Lu Sheng could tell that Muchen was not accustomed to this kind of environment.

There were just too many people around.

All his attention was focused on protecting her, afraid that any passerby might bump into her.

So, Lu Sheng looked up at Muchen and asked, "Do you dislike crowded places like this?"

"No," Li Muchen shook his head. His tall figure was upright, his demeanor calm and slightly reserved, exuding a comforting strength.

"Actually, places like this are all about feeling the bustling atmosphere. The more people there are, the livelier it gets."

Lu Sheng glanced ahead and then took Li Muchen’s hand.

"Relax a bit. It doesn’t matter if others bump into me; there’s no danger."

"I want to experience the life of ordinary people with you."

"To be able to walk down the street hand in hand with the person I love, to eat delicious food together during our free time, it’s such a blissful thing."

"And the snacks on this street really do smell amazing, right?"

Hearing this, Li Muchen intertwined his fingers with Lu Sheng’s and asked her while looking down, "Baby, what would you like to eat?"

"I think I should be the one asking you that," Lu Sheng blinked, "You haven’t tried any of the food on this street, have you?"

Li Muchen paused, then nodded.

"There are also many things I haven’t tried. Let’s just try whatever interests us until we can’t eat anymore."

Saying so, Lu Sheng pointed to a stall selling chicken wing rice nearest to them, "—Want to try this?"

Lu Sheng guessed that the moment Li Muchen saw the name of the snack, he was definitely wondering how chicken wings and rice were combined and presented.

Someone like Li Muchen, who grew up eating only well-balanced and beautifully plated food from home or upscale restaurants, wouldn’t normally be aware of such street snack.

So without waiting for Li Muchen to answer, Lu Sheng pulled him directly to the stall and said to the owner, "Boss, one chicken wing rice, please."

"All right, young lady," the vendor replied while skillfully placing a prepared chicken wing rice onto the grill, glancing up in the meantime.

Seeing the man and young girl in front of the stall, his eyes widened.

"Young lady, you’re really pretty, and your boyfriend is quite handsome too. You two aren’t celebrities, are you?"

In real life, most ordinary people have average looks, and it’s rare to see someone whose stunning beauty makes it hard to look away.

"No," Lu Sheng laughed lightly, joking in high spirits, "But indeed, we’ve been approached by talent scouts before. We didn’t agree."

"I knew it, you two are the most beautiful people I’ve ever seen, a perfect match."

The stall owner couldn’t help but marvel, flipping the chicken wing rice, then asking Lu Sheng if she liked spicy food and such.

Li Muchen glanced at the price list on the sign, then scanned the payment QR code posted by the vendor.

About ten minutes later, the vendor handed the packaged chicken wing rice to Lu Sheng. With a beaming face, Lu Sheng thanked him and took it.

"Looks great, doesn’t it? Want to try a bite?"

Outside the stall, Lu Sheng peeled back some of the wrapping paper.

A whole chicken wing stuffed full of glutinous rice, grilled to a tender and shiny golden brown.

The steamy aroma wafted through the air, especially tempting in the winter night.

Seeing Li Muchen nod, Lu Sheng extended the chicken wing toward his mouth: "Open up, ah—There are no bones inside, you can swallow it directly."

Watching the young girl treat him as though she were feeding a child, Li Muchen took a deep breath and opened his mouth to take a bite.

Seeing Li Muchen eat the chicken wing rice, Lu Sheng looked at him with sparkling eyes, seemingly waiting for his judgment.

"How is it, is it tasty?"

Li Muchen nodded, his voice as deep as usual: "Mmm, it’s delicious. You try some too."

Li Muchen took the chicken wing rice, gently blew on it to cool it, then extended it to Lu Sheng’s mouth.

Seeing the young girl with her cheeks puffed up with food, looking utterly content, Li Muchen felt his heart turn exceptionally tender and grounded for the first time.

When Lu Sheng looked up again, she saw the man in front of her still watching her intently, only his eyes misting with a touch of redness.
