Chapter 75: Holy Land of the Dead
When Jiang Ning shyly told her sisters that she would bring her boyfriend out to meet everyone when she had the chance.

On the other side, Jiang Yao was hugging Chen Yuan and being very affectionate with him. The passion between them was rising rapidly and they were extremely sticky to each other.

After queuing up and receiving the surrounding items, the three of them went to experience the game hall in the exhibition hall.

By noon, I was starving.

Xiao Wan suggested: "Why don't we go eat ramen together? I know a restaurant that makes really delicious ramen."

Jiang Yao had heard her bragging before about how great the ramen shop on the fourth floor of Dongguan Shopping Mall was. She said that the aroma could be smelled from the first floor and it was no exaggeration to say that the fragrance could be smelled from ten miles away. So she readily agreed.

Chen Yuan was also quite happy. When asked for his opinion, he nodded and said, "I have always liked eating noodles. Although steamed buns are the staple food in our northern region, I had to eat them every few days when I was in high school. When I went home for breakfast, my mother would make scallion oil noodles. I could smell it as soon as I got home, and I could eat two big bowls."

"It seems that you really like it. I only eat one bowl at most. My stomach can only hold that little." Jiang Yao agreed with a smile at first, but suddenly, she thought of something.

His expression gradually became bitter...

Compared to her, her elder sister Jiang Ning is the kind of person who particularly loves life. When she first arrived at Lanjing University, a colleague left and left a pot of succulents worth five yuan. When Jiang Ning saw the pot of succulents, it was already sick and looked like it was about to die.

Jiang Ning took it home and took good care of it for nearly half a month.

Nowadays, life is thriving at the desk.

It just so happened that Chen Yuan mentioned that he liked eating noodles... Jiang Ning's skill points in cooking were also maxed out. She could make delicious clear soup noodles and scallion oil noodles. She could also cook other specialties of Mingzhu City. After coming to Lanjing, she also learned a lot of local dishes from Sister Qin.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yao clenched her fists, feeling very uncomfortable.

It seems that compared with her sister, she is a bit useless. She can't even fry scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Apart from being cute and acting coquettish, it is difficult to find any other advantages in her.

Homey and useless...

Chen Yuan did not catch Jiang Yao's subtle change in mood. Women are too difficult to understand. Maybe they don't even understand themselves.

Who would have thought that she would be sad because of such a small thing after having such a happy morning?
……

Dongguan Shopping Center, 4th floor.

The three of them jointly chose the signature dish of this ramen shop - miso-flavored ramen.

During lunch time, it was hard to find an empty seat in the extremely busy restaurant. Chen Yuan and his friends stood for a while, and only had a seat after a young couple finished eating.

The waiter came over and cleaned the table, and Chen Yuan wiped the oil stains on the table again with a tissue.

Did not forget to help Jiang Yao wipe the area in front of her.

Jiang Yao saw this thoughtful gesture. She stared at Chen Yuan and her heart softened.

The feeling of being loved can indeed be felt at all times.

Xiao Wan waited for more than ten minutes, during which time she tried hard to hold back her saliva and her stomach growled because the ramen on other tables smelled so good. When she was about to despair, the waiter finally came over with the tray.

"Great!"

Xiao Wan couldn't wait to take off the blindfold, put it in his pocket, and quickly tied up his hair, ready to go into battle!
As soon as the ramen was served, white mist rose and Xiao Wan took a big sniff.

Although it is a Japanese-style flavor, the style of this noodle shop has a long history. It can be traced back to more than a hundred years ago, when the soup noodle flavor was created by a Chinese in Japan.

Then, more than ten years later, a young Japanese with a particularly quick mind became the apprentice of the master chef of this noodle shop. He made many changes to the soup noodles.

The soup is made with pork bones as the base and various ingredients added to it. In order to increase the rich taste of the soup, small portions of lard and garlic are also specially prepared.

at the moment.

The three of them looked at the ramen in front of them.

Scallions, half a boiled egg, chopped green onions, corn, lard and sesame seeds are spread on the surface. Take out chopsticks and stir it. The chewy ramen wrapped in countless fats is picked out, and the fried vegetables at the bottom lock the sizzling heat firmly.

Chen Yuan picked up a few noodles and put them into his mouth, his eyes immediately brightened.

"good to eat!"

"Really? I told you that you wouldn't be disappointed if you came." Xiao Wan smiled proudly, happy that her friend accepted her recommendation.

"Let me try it. Is it that exaggerated?" Jiang Yao looked at the two people's enjoyment and felt a little skeptical.

No matter how delicious ramen is, how good can it be?
"When I was a kid, there was a noodle shop in the county town that had been open for many years. It was passed down from my senior's grandfather to his father. It was also a ramen shop. Their noodles were the most chewy I've ever eaten, and they were comparable to this one."

"So does your senior also want to follow in your father's footsteps?" Jiang Yao asked curiously.

"Yes, he is now the new owner of the noodle shop."

"That's great. You can do what you like. I guess you are very happy too."

"Ah?" Chen Yuan looked at the cute Jiang Yao and suddenly smiled. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "As far as I know, the senior doesn't like to do this, but his grades are not good. In a small county like ours, it is difficult to have a good future without going to school. This is a helpless choice."

"A way out..." Jiang Yao didn't quite understand what it meant.

"If you have a chance, you will know when you go to our place. It is very different from Lanjing. It is a very remote place and a poor county."

Do you want to see where your boyfriend grew up?

Chen Yuan's plain words suddenly made Jiang Yao very excited. She looked at Chen Yuan's profile for a while, then lowered her head and thought silently.

There may be such a day in the future, but it may be a long, long time in the future.

She will go to Chen Yuan's home with a brand new identity, as his soon-to-be wife...

By then, when the relationship has reached the stage of discussing marriage, it must be really wonderful, right?
The corners of Jiang Yao's mouth slowly curved up, and she sincerely hoped that there would be such a day.

…“Hiccup~”

In the three thick porcelain bowls, only the warm soup with oil floating on it remained; the rest of the food was swallowed into the mouth and disappeared without a trace.

Xiao Wan was like a pregnant woman, holding her belly, and she lay back on the chair with difficulty, looking up at the ceiling.

"I'm full. It feels so good." She murmured.

"Of course you are full. One portion is more than enough. You want another half portion of noodles."

Chen Yuan and Jiang Yao had just finished eating, but Xiao Wan was still not satisfied and added more food. The two of them just watched her show off in shock.

Incredible.

Chen Yuan couldn't understand why such a petite girl had a bigger appetite than him.

Sure enough, a woman's stomach is as unfathomable as her heart.

"That's enough. Don't just lie there. You have to make room for others."

Since the owner kept looking over here, Jiang Yao sensed that gaze and knew she was being urged. Chen Yuan had already gone to pay, so she had no choice but to pull Xiao Wan up from her seat.

"The bill is settled."

"Then let's go."

The three of them walked out of the mall together. A cold wind blew in their faces instantly, causing the hair on Jiang Yao's shoulders to fly.

"Where are you going? I'll take you there." She turned around and asked Xiao Wan.

"I'm going to Qingsu Street, the cat-ear maid cafe. Yaoyao, do you know the location?"

"I have some impression...Why are you going there?"

"Didn't I buy two peripherals this morning? One was for my friend. She works in a coffee shop, so I just happened to deliver it to her."

"Cat-ear maid cafe?" Chen Yuan couldn't help but imagine it when he heard such a novel term. "It's the kind where girls in maid outfits work as waitresses."

"Yeah, you haven't been there?"

"No."

"Student Chen can go and experience it if he has a chance. The girls in the store are super pretty, all of them are very cute, and their clothes and outfits are all DIY handmade. They have different personalities, and even the color of their ears is different. It is considered the best maid cafe in Lanjing Qingsu Street."

After hearing what she said, Chen Yuan became quite interested.

But he didn't feel uncomfortable, he just felt it was novel as he had never seen a similar store before.

"Is this true? Different personalities have different ear colors? This is quite creative. Wouldn't black ears be cool and pink ears be cute?" Jiang Yao was surprised. After a moment, she raised her eyebrows at Xiao Wan. The two of them exchanged glances, and suddenly a sweet smile appeared on the corners of their mouths that only otakus could understand.

"You guessed it right! The manager of the cat ear shop is very professional and has trained very high-level shop assistants. She will never lose her acting skills when playing the maid. This is also her idea."

"Wow, I also want to open a store like this." Jiang Yao thought pitifully. Girls have an innate resistance to games like management, role-playing, and matching outfits.

So they are interested in playing house and Barbie dolls, and when they grow up, they become interested in opening shops and dressing up.

In a sense, the cat-ear maid shop is a holy place for otakus!
"Then why don't you go and experience it today? We're just in time together. Let me tell you, there's a new girl in the store who is very plain and simple. She's quiet and cute. I like her so much! In the maid competition last month, she was elected second place as a newcomer!" Xiao Wan introduced excitedly.

"Today..." Jiang Yao glanced at Chen Yuan, "Forget it, I'm tired after a whole morning, I plan to have a good rest, let's make an appointment later."

"also."

"Then let's go."

……

The car slowly stopped at the door of the cat-ear maid shop on Qingsu Street.

Xiao Wan said goodbye to the two, opened the car door and jumped out, and walked happily towards the store entrance with her schoolbag on her back, just like a primary school student going home after school...

Although she is already in her twenties, she has been a corporate slave for almost two years.

Many colleagues could not understand why Xiao Wan was so immature and unable to extricate herself from the silent world of the second dimension. She had to spend at least half of her monthly salary of more than 6,000 yuan on her hobbies.

But only she herself understands how wonderful that virtual world is, and how unbearable real life is in comparison.

If there were no two-dimensional world, Xiaowan, who has never had many friends since childhood, would really not find a reason to love life.

The two of them watched Xiao Wan disappear at the store entrance.

Chen Yuan suddenly felt that her leaving figure was very warm, and his mood seemed to be infected.

"Xiao Wan is a very nice person."

"Yes, she is my best friend," Jiang Yao said with a smile, thinking to herself: Damn, the light bulb finally rolled away.

"Let's go home and rest. We are exhausted."

As Chen Yuan spoke, he stretched his back. He had been running around with the two young ladies for the entire morning, and had been queuing for an hour alone. His legs felt sore.

"Good—A-choo!"

Before Jiang Yao could finish her words, she sneezed loudly.

She wrinkled her nose and sneezed, bringing out tears.
