Seeing the motley assortment of nicknames and messy verification messages, Lu Qin couldn't help but shake his head and offer a wry smile.

He added them to the group one by one.

The group now had 468 members.

The group members were increasing too quickly; in another day or two, it would be full.

He needed to purchase a membership to expand the QQ group to 2000 people.

At this moment.

[Cough! Cough! Cough!]

There was a system notification.

Lu Qin clicked to open it. Another new customer had applied to join the group.

The QQ nickname was—[A Thousand Mountains in the Twilight Snow].

Verification message: None.

Lu Qin approved it, then clicked on the profile picture and purchased an SVIP QQ membership.

The first month had a discount, costing only 8 yuan.

After purchasing the membership, Lu Qin upgraded the customer group, expanding its capacity to 2000 people.

Putting away his phone, Lu Qin went to wake up the little one.

They all want to be the little one's stepmother! What a pipe dream!

Shen Muyan had gotten the QQ group number for Lu Qin's stall from Fang Ya.

When she woke up in the morning, she opened her phone and downloaded the QQ app.

Her QQ account had been dormant for a long time, with a meager level of only one moon.

She had no personalized signature, and her nickname was one she had randomly chosen before, "Thousand Mountains, Evening Snow".

She tapped the add group button, entered the QQ group number: **, applied to join the group, and waited for the group owner to verify...

A few seconds later, the verification was approved.

She had joined the group.

Shen Muyan's slender, jade-like fingers scrolled through the group members.

Lu Qin was the group owner, marked in yellow, with a cartoon boy avatar and the nickname Lu Qin.

Fang Ya was also in the group, with the nickname "Purple Butterfly"; she was offline, and her avatar was gray.

Shen Muyan knew Fang Ya's schedule; she was a late riser who wouldn't get up until 2 PM.

Shen Muyan clicked on Lu Qin's avatar. He was quite lazy, with all his profile information left blank.

She pursed her red lips, exited the profile, and opened the group chat window.

Messages in the group were constantly scrolling, very lively.

Shen Muyan caught an important piece of information: Lu Qin started his morning stall at 8 AM, located at the entrance of Sunshine Elementary School.

Immediately after, her beautiful eyes widened.

The group messages continued to scroll, and the chat environment within the group was fervent.

But why... were these nicknames... so outrageous?

[Boss Lu's Girlfriend]: I ate the Twice Cooked Pork yesterday, the taste was incredible! I wonder if it'll be at the stall today?

[Yao Yao's Stepmom]: Boss Lu is single, right? I'm confessing to him today!

[Mrs. Lu]: You're confessing today? No way, you have to wait in line!

[Die Without Ice Crystal Cake]: I eat Fried Rice Noodles three meals a day now, I can't get enough, I can't live without it!

[Boss Lu's Fiancee]: Yesterday I bribed my husband with a box of Ice Crystal Cake, and he agreed to let me be with Boss Lu!

Shen Muyan looked speechlessly at the nicknames of the group members. The internet wasn't beyond the law!

They still wanted to be the little one's stepmother?

What a pipe dream!

Shen Muyan closed the QQ group and got up to go to work.

Her mood suddenly became very irritable, and she sent a message to her assistant, Song Xuanxuan.

"There's a Fried Rice Noodles stall at the entrance of Sunshine Elementary School. Buy me one portion of Fried Rice Noodles, one Mung Bean Paste, and two boxes of Ice Crystal Cake."

"The stall opens at 8 AM, so go queue up half an hour in advance."

This was the first time Song Xuanxuan had received a message from her boss that wasn't about work.

Instead, it was asking her to buy breakfast.

When Song Xuanxuan saw the words "Ice Crystal Cake," her eyes lit up.

Was this the same Ice Crystal Cake they had last time?

If so...

Without a second thought, Song Xuanxuan checked the time and drove towards Sunshine Elementary School an hour early.

Lu Qin was making breakfast for Lu Xiyao in the kitchen.

The little one was still groggy, her eyes half-closed as she brushed her teeth and washed her face, then twitched her nose.

She smelled the aroma of breakfast.

"Papa~! I'm done~!"

Lu Qin glanced at Lu Xiyao and noticed the little one's face wasn't completely clean.

"Come here."

He re-wetted the towel and carefully wiped her face.

Breakfast consisted of fried eggs, brown sugar steamed buns, and soy milk.

The little one ate with her mouth full of oil.

Lu Qin handed her a tissue and then packed the lunch boxes.

Inside were Twice Cooked Pork, rice, three kinds of seasonal vegetables, and a small portion of Fried Rice Noodles.

"Papa~! I promised my kindergarten friends I'd bring them some Fried Rice Noodles~!"

"It's already packed."

Lu Qin placed another packed portion of Fried Rice Noodles into the canvas bag.

After breakfast, Lu Qin took the little one to Starlight Kindergarten.

"Yao Yao, listen to your teacher at kindergarten and get along with the other children."

"Papa~! I know~! Don't you trust your little darling~!"

Lu Xiyao walked into the kindergarten gate, carrying the canvas bag.

As soon as Lu Xiyao appeared, a group of children swarmed her from all directions, surrounding her.

She was like the moon surrounded by stars.

"Lu Xiyao, did you bring food today? Did you bring an extra portion of Fried Rice Noodles?"

"Yao Yao, do you want to play with my remote-controlled airplane? Can we eat lunch together today?"

"Lu Xiyao, I bought new crystal modeling clay, I'll give you a jar!"

Zhong Shuyi: "Yao Yao, I asked my chef uncle to make Fried Rice Noodles and Mung Bean Paste today too, do you want to try some?"

"My grandpa also made me Fried Rice Noodles, but they looked dark and didn't seem very tasty!"

Many children stared at the canvas bag in Lu Xiyao's hand, already swallowing despite having just eaten breakfast.

Across from Sunshine Elementary School, in an open space, a long line had inexplicably formed.

The very front of the line was completely empty.

"What's going on? What are people lining up here for?"

"We're lining up early. Boss Lu will be here soon with his breakfast stall. If you don't line up, you might not get any."

"How good can it be?"

"Universally, super, incredibly, mind-blowingly delicious!"

A few minutes later, Lu Qin's three-wheeled vehicle food cart appeared in public view.
