We Boys Are Like Kittens, Reeking of Milk

Xu Yi smiled at the two of them. "Manager Li, why don't you give me a few pointers? Please don't take offense if I'm not very good."

Li Wen blushed.

Pointers, my ass. This Military Combat Fist had only one flaw: it was way too damn perfect.

But that only stirred his competitive spirit. He immediately invited him, "Come on, classmate. How about we spar?"

"Forget it, I still need to sell Instant Noodles. I'm leaving."

With that, Xu Yi vanished into the fog.

The assistant beside him was so embarrassed his toes were practically digging into the concrete.

"Manager Li, I'm sorry, I..."

"I told you already, there was always someone better out there. What an interesting young man. Let's see if we can run into him tomorrow. Go back to the company for the meeting first."

"Xu Yi, you're here so early." The cafeteria lady took the initiative to greet him.

"Yeah, getting ready to outwork all of you to death."

The cafeteria lady's expression instantly turned ugly. Why was Xu Yi launching an attack right out of the gate today?

But that did not stop her from firing back.

"Hmph. What's the use of working part-time in college? When my son was in college, he brought several girlfriends home."

"What about boyfriends?" Xu Yi asked curiously.

"Boyfri...!!"

"Xu Yi, you're refusing to date just to make money now, but once you enter society, all you'll find are loose women."

"Still better than being all wrinkled up like you."

Negative Emotion Points +100

"Xu Yi!"

At that moment, a pretty figure walked up to Xu Yi, her face delicate and beautiful.

The cafeteria lady's expression grew even worse. She was prettier than any girlfriend her son had brought home.

"Yaoyao, why are you here? Want some Instant Noodles?"

"Xu Yi, let's break up. I don't think we're right for each other."

"Oh."

"That's it?"

"Yeah."

Xu Ying glared at Xu Yi furiously. "Xu Yi! Don't you have anything to say?"

"No."

Negative Emotion Points +20

Xu Yi's reaction caught Xu Ying completely off guard. She had thought that if she brought up breaking up, Xu Yi would surely beg and plead desperately.

At the very least, he should have chased after her taxi and shouted, "Xu Ying, I can't live without you! How am I supposed to go on without you?"

If Xu Yi did not humble himself or grovel before her during the breakup, where would her sense of superiority come from?

She was unwilling to accept it...

So she pressed on relentlessly. "Stop pretending. You obviously can't bear to lose me, yet you're acting so aloof."

"Are you encrusted with diamonds? Why would I be reluctant to lose you..."

Negative Emotion Points +40

"Xu Yi, don't you want to know why I'm breaking up with you?"

"I know."

"You know?"

Xu Yi did not even raise his eyelids. He lowered his head and tidied up his stall. "How could someone reeking of smoke like you possibly be worthy of someone sweet and soft like me? Boys are like kittens—everyone loves us. Plenty of girls want us."

Negative Emotion Points +50

"Xu Yi!"

Xu Ying completely snapped. "I'll tell you the truth—I passed the civil service exam. I made it ashore. Do you really think a guy selling Instant Noodles is still worthy of me?"

Xu Yi finally looked up. "With that pig brain of yours, you passed the civil service exam? There's a bottle of runny shit in the desert, and you're dying of thirst. Would you drink it? Choose yes or no."

"Yes."

"Idiot, choose 'or.'"

Negative Emotion Points +100

Xu Ying's chest heaved violently with rage, and she felt like flames were shooting from her head. "Xu Yi! I'll tell you the truth. Chen Wei confessed to me.

His family works within the system. As long as I become his girlfriend, I can pass with absolute certainty. What civil service exam? I can just ride the system straight in."

"Get lost. Don't get in the way of my business. Hurry up and scram! Don't make me post you on the school confession wall."

"You, you... I haven't even posted you yet, you creep."

"I'm the admin."

"Fine, you win. Just wait and see!"

With that, she stomped her foot hard and left.

The cafeteria lady smiled like a chrysanthemum. She had wanted to mock him, but then she looked at the Instant Noodles in his hand.

In the end, she held herself back.

Xu Yi did not feel much emotional turmoil. He simply treated all the sincerity he had once given as having gone to a dog.

Before long, the fragrance of Instant Noodles began to spread.

Quite a few students changed direction and came to his window.

"Xu Yi, are you okay after yesterday? I heard that supermarket owner has connections."

"Xu Yi, that owner said he was going to get someone to mess you up today. Be careful."

"Xu Yi, two eggs and meat, plus a sausage."

At the same time, the production crew arrived at the cafeteria entrance.

Bingbing stepped in front of the camera again, wearing a sweet smile.

"Dear viewers, we'll continue following up on yesterday's incident in this episode."

Yu Shu, meanwhile, looked exhausted and solemn.

They had held a meeting all night, and the outcome was exactly as he had expected.

The matter was no longer something he could handle.

The higher-ups immediately formed a joint investigation team.

By the end of the meeting, even the military district had called.

To avoid frightening Xu Yi, the higher-ups had still decided to let him step in and resolve things first.

The military district had even made it clear: if this matter was not handled properly, the army would personally send people over.

"I hope nothing goes wrong again today."

After muttering to himself, Yu Shu put on a smile and headed toward Xu Yi's window.

"Xu Yi, no one has touched your stall, right?"

The principal hurried over at that moment and rushed to answer, "Don't worry, Director. I've arranged everything. No one will cause trouble for Xu Yi again."

"Good, then."

Xu Yi nodded obediently. "Thank you, Uncle Yu. Thank you, Principal. Please sit down first. I'll make you each a bowl of noodles."

After seeing Yu Shu sit down, the principal finally dared to sit as well.

Yu Shu gave the principal a meaningful look. "As the descendant of a martyr, isn't it inappropriate to have him selling Instant Noodles in the cafeteria?"

"Please rest assured, Director. We discussed it last night. Since Xu Yi is an outstanding student, we plan to arrange a substantial scholarship for him. The cafeteria will be open to him free of charge. We'll make sure he won't need to work part-time anymore."

Yu Shu nodded faintly without saying anything else.

But the principal and several leaders all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Let's see how Student Xu's cooking is later."

"I heard Instant Noodles with eggs and sausage is a perfect match."

With the atmosphere easing, someone cracked a joke.

But the next second, no one was laughing anymore.

The supermarket owner came striding over aggressively with several people behind him.

"You're deliberately trying to go against our supermarket, aren't you?"

"I'll give you three minutes. Pack up your things and get out of here."

Xu Yi lowered his head in grievance, but he could barely hide his smile.

Awesome, absolutely awesome!

He was trying so hard not to laugh that his body began trembling uncontrollably.

But to outsiders, Xu Yi looked like he was trembling in fear after being yelled at.

Everyone's anger instantly hit the ceiling.

The principal especially was both shocked and terrified.

If something went wrong again today, he was really going to be screwed.

Yu Shu snorted coldly, deep anger hidden in his eyes. "Wait. Let's see what exactly they intend to do."

"I rented this stall for half a year. You have no right to drive me away."

"Hehe, rights? At this school, I am the right."

The owner smugly snorted and pulled out a document.

"See this? It's a document specially approved by the school leadership ordering your stall shut down. You really won't give up until you see the coffin."

Anger Value +100
Tension Value +100

Yu Shu's eyes nearly burst into flames. "Which one of you approved this for him?"

Several leaders looked at one another. "Not me."

"Not me either. How would I dare?"

The principal wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Director, give me five minutes. I'll investigate this immediately."

Xu Yi lifted his head stubbornly. "No! If I leave, the students will never get to eat Instant Noodles for three yuan fifty again."

"Look... what a good kid."
