Thinking of the upcoming month-long paid vacation in just a few days, they wouldn’t mind working overtime every day.

With the two treasured sisters being so enthusiastic and proactive, Tang Su didn’t want to be polite with them anymore. Taking Lu Han’s arm, she waved goodbye to them and left.

“Where do you want to eat?” Lu Han asked.

There were many noodle shops selling beef noodles in Hua City; in fact, randomly entering any shop would be delicious, but Lu Han still wanted to hear his girlfriend’s choice.

“Hmm? Let me think,” Tang Su didn’t answer casually, but thought seriously. Then, with her eyes shining, she said to Lu Han, “If Doctor Lu isn’t tired, why don’t we walk to the pedestrian street over there and eat at an old noodle shop?”

“Sure, I’m not tired,” Lu Han said, pursing his lips, “Walking a bit will help us eat more.”

“Yeah, I think so too,” Tang Su nodded. She actually wanted to spend more time being affectionate with Lu Han.

To get from Culture Street to the pedestrian street, if taking the main road, they had to cross two intersections. If taking a shortcut, they had to pass through two alleys plus a lane.

Neither was close.

But chatting and laughing along the way, they arrived quickly.

The old noodle shop was run by an elderly couple: the old man cooked the noodles, and the old lady greeted the customers.

“Grandpa Wu, Grandma Wu, I’ve come to have noodles again,” Tang Su greeted the two elders as soon as she entered.

“Wu? Another person with the surname Wu?” Lu Han raised an eyebrow.

“No, it’s Wu, as in the Wu of ‘sky’ and ‘mouth’,” Tang Su corrected.

“Oh.”

Good that it wasn’t Wu; when he visited Wu Donglin in the hospital earlier that day, he had complained about Lu Han stealing his grandson’s girlfriend.

That was simply unreasonable. When had Tang Su become his grandson’s girlfriend?

It was obvious he was the one trying to take his Tang Su for his grandson.

Wu Jie had some morals, but that old man with the surname Wu had none whatsoever.

“Tang Su is here, oh, are you dating now? It’s about time to be dating,” Grandma Wu, who took her husband’s surname, said cheerfully and enthusiastically to Lu Han.

In those eyes, which weren’t as clear due to age, there was great admiration for Lu Han, “Our Tang Su has a sharp eye, picking the best boyfriend to bring home.”

“Thank you, Grandma Wu. His name is Lu Han, and he’s a doctor,” Tang Su introduced Lu Han to her.

“Being a doctor is good, a really nice profession. Today, since Tang Su brought her boyfriend here for noodles, Grandma Wu will treat you two. What kind of noodles would you like?” Grandma Wu, holding a clean rag, wiped the table spotlessly clean.

They didn’t have luxurious decorations, they just kept the noodle shop clean inside and out.

“Grandma Wu, please don’t treat us, you must charge us, otherwise, we won’t dare to sit down,” Tang Su said earnestly.

“Alright, alright, Tang Su, you decide. What noodles do you want? Let your Grandpa Wu cook them,” she said.

“I’ll have the beef noodles, a large bowl, with extra beef,” Tang Su requested.

“Okay, what about you, little Lu?”

“Grandma Wu, I’d like a bowl of pork rib noodles, also a large one, with extra ribs, thank you,” Lu Han said politely.

“Little Lu is really polite, but no need to be so formal, we’re going to charge you anyway. You two take a seat and wait,” she said.

“Got it.”

Grandma Wu went to the kitchen where Grandpa Wu, who was listening to Beijing opera, was dozing off. Grandma Wu tossed the rag she had used for wiping tables at him, “Tang Su has brought her boyfriend, little Lu, to our noodle shop, aren’t you going to cook?”

“Tang Su?” Grandpa Wu, who was just woken up, looked confused.

“It’s Tang Su from Tangtang Bookstore on Culture Street. Remember, for our granddaughter’s birthday, she wanted a book and couldn’t find it in many bookshops, but Tang Su helped us out,” she reminded him.

“Oh, Tang Su? She brought her boyfriend? The young girl is finally dating,” Grandpa Wu was also happy for Tang Su and quickly got up from the recliner, then washed his hands to start cooking the noodles.

“Exactly, that girl is so charming, and the young man is really decent. Not to mention, the girl has excellent taste,” Grandma Wu said happily, as if her own granddaughter had found a very good boyfriend.

“Of course, out of so many noodle shops in Hua City, this girl likes my cooking the most. Remember how, back in the day when I sold noodles in the old neighborhood, the fragrance attracted people from miles around.”

“Enough with the bragging, the sky won’t fall,” Grandma Wu rolled her eyes disdainfully but didn’t forget to urge, “Hurry up and make sure it tastes good. If it’s not delicious, Tang Su won’t pay.”

“Humph, not paying? When has she ever come here and not almost wanted to swallow her tongue because she loved the taste I make?” Grandpa Wu was very confident in his noodle-making skills.

He didn’t know if other stomachs could take it, but Tang Su’s stomach was in love with their noodles.

Especially the beef noodles.

Once the noodles were ready, Grandpa Wu and Grandma Wu each brought out a bowl. When Lu Han saw the pork rib noodles in front of him, with at least ten large ribs, his eyes widened.

What is this heavenly noodle shop? And these divine owners?

Such huge ribs for just the price of this bowl of noodles, isn’t the cost of the ribs even covered?

Also, the bowl of beef in front of Tang Su is all meat, and huge chunks at that.

“This must be little Tang’s boyfriend, right?” Old Master Wu looked at Lu Han with a beaming smile, and in front of Lu Han, he lavished praise, “The lad is really good looking, a perfect match for our little Tang.”

“Thanks, Grandpa Wu, my family name is Lu.”

“Alright then, I’ll call you Little Lu, eh? It’s your first time at our humble noodle shop, we don’t have much to offer, but this meat, it’ll fill you up.”

“Please, help yourselves.” Old Master Wu said generously, “Tang Su is a good girl, you must treat her well in the future.”

“Yeah, don’t worry, I’ve only got to eat this much meat tonight because of her, I’ll definitely treat her well,” Lu Han said with a smile as he looked at Tang Su, teasing her.

“Look at that, Little Lu really knows what’s up. You two take your time, if it’s not enough, there’s more where that came from,” he said.

“Thank you, Grandpa Wu, and Grandma Wu too,” Tang Su said sweetly.

“Don’t mention it, good girl, eat while it’s hot, I won’t bother you two anymore.”

“Okay.” Tang Su nodded without any pretense.

Soon, other customers started coming into the noodle shop one after another, and Lu Han made a point to notice that the amount of meat in other people’s bowls was the normal amount for a business.

Tang Su looked delighted as she watched Lu Han look around, and then she arched an eyebrow teasingly, “How about it? The noodle shop your girlfriend found, not bad, huh?”

“Yeah, impressive,” Lu Han nodded, extending his thumbs up to Tang Su sincerely.

Tang Su was exceedingly happy.

When leaving, Tang Su paid for two regular bowls of noodles with her phone, and she also paid for the added beef and ribs.

Of course, it wasn’t nearly as much.

After a satisfying meal, Tang Su, having bid farewell to the elderly couple, took Lu Han by the hand and left the noodle shop.

Having taken such a big advantage from the elderly couple, Lu Han felt uneasy, “Isn’t it bad for us to take advantage of the old couple like this?”

“Doctor Lu, relax and put your heart back in your chest, this meal isn’t for free, I’ll handle the favor we owe them,” Tang Su assured.

“How will you repay it?” Lu Han was curious, “With books?”

Tang Su nodded, “Doctor Lu is so clever. Grandpa Wu and Grandma Wu have a little granddaughter in Hua City. Their son got into trouble and was imprisoned. Not long after, he got into a fight inside and was killed; his widow remarried later.

Their worries about their granddaughter being bullied led them to open this old noodle shop on the path she must take to school. Having sold noodles all their lives and with no other skills, they continued to sell noodles even after moving to Hua City.”

“They adore their little granddaughter very much. The girl loves reading, but their home isn’t spacious enough to store many books. So, I gave the girl a book gift card, it’s valid for five years.”

“She was ecstatic. Ever since then, every time I go there to eat, they refuse to take my money. Their noodles are just too delicious, and whenever I get a craving, I can’t help but go there. I have to pay them, so they give me extra meat instead.”

“I see,” Lu Han understood, and now, just like Tang Su said, he could firmly put his mind at ease.

They hadn’t even reached the parking lot when Lu Han’s phone rang.

Checking the caller, Lu Han immediately dismissed the call. They got into the car, and his phone rang again, the same number. Lu Han sighed and pressed the answer button.

“What’s up?” Lu Han asked, not in the best of moods.

“What kind of tone is that to speak with your brother?” Bai Dingkai complained. Having taken time out of his busy schedule to visit Hua City, he had waited all day without anyone arranging a welcome for him.

Bai Dingxian could be excused, as he got called away for an emergency case in the ER due to understaffing.

And Lu Han?

He didn’t answer calls or reply to messages. What was he up to?

Fortunately, Old Tan opened a chic little wine bar here, otherwise, he really wouldn’t know how to kill time.

“You’re in Hua City?” Lu Han frowned, wondering why this guy was in Hua City.

“Isn’t it because you suddenly blurted out that Shen Tian isn’t suitable for the role of Bai Qiao? I had to come personally, didn’t I?” Bai Dingkai raised an eyebrow.

Lu Han: “…”

He had forgotten that his words carried weight in the Bai Family’s eyes.

He had just heard his mother mention that Bai Dingkai was preparing to shoot a TV show about first love, and after casually looking it up, he saw that Shen Tian was the leading lady.

Having nothing better to do in Beijing, he casually flipped through the novel “First Love,” and then offhandedly mentioned in front of Bai Wei that Shen Tian wasn’t suitable for the role of Bai Qiao.

It had reached Bai Dingkai so quickly?

He could have just found someone to replace Shen Tian, no need to make a trip himself, right?
