That evening, Cao Yu quickly finished showering and asked Wang Dong, "Hey, wanna go eat grilled fish together later?"
Grilled fish? Is it good?
Wang Dong was rubbing her soaking wet hair with a white towel; her hair was still damp after washing.
"Of course, otherwise why would I call you?" Cao Yu said as he packed his things.
Without hesitation, Wang Dong said directly, "Let's go together!"
The two walked out of the Shrek Academy together. The streets outside the East Gate were bustling with people, and passersby sometimes had to dodge each other, creating a lively scene.
Upon arriving at the store, Huo Yuhao was already busy at work.
With the recent hiring of many staff and kitchen helpers, Cao Yu no longer needs to go in to assist, making things much easier for Huo Yuhao as well.
" Brother Yu, you're here! How many portions do you want this time? Fresh and savory or spicy?"
Huo Yuhao spotted Brother Yu and Wang Dong arriving at the store together and greeted them with a smile.
Wang Dong asked in surprise, "Are you the owner of this shop?"
"What are you thinking? Brother Yu is the boss, I'm just the manager of this store," Huo Yuhao explained.
Wang Dong stared at Cao Yu in shock, looking utterly astonished.
"As expected of Brother Yu, you're really something!"
"You opened a shop so soon after arriving at the college? Are you rich or something?"
Cao Yu pressed his hand down and said, "Keep it down, keep it down. Don't envy me, and definitely don't fall in love with me."
"Tch!" Wang Dong gave it a disdainful look.
Ignoring him, Cao Yu said, " Yuhao, give me three servings of the savory and three servings of the spicy."
Huo Yuhao nodded. "Okay, Brother Yu, please wait a moment." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the kitchen, where he placed the fish on the iron rack to grill.
Before long, Huo Yuhao brought out six fragrant grilled fish, placed a few bottles of wine on the table, and then went to entertain the other guests.
Cao Yu pointed to a grilled fish on the plate and said, "Try it first, it's fresh and delicious."
Wang Dong took one without hesitation.
A crunching sound rang between their lips and teeth, and the savory oil spread from their lips, making it hard to stop eating.
Afterwards, I tried the spicy flavor and found it even more addictive. Although it was quite spicy, it was just right to drink some alcohol to balance it out. After eating a few grilled fish, it was a unique experience.
Wang Dong revealed a satisfied expression, his alluring tongue licking his red lips.
"Mmm~ It's so delicious!"
I want four more servings.
Cao Yu watched him eat like a wolf, speechless, and joked, "If you keep eating, you'll turn into a pig!"
"You're the pig!" Wang Dong patted his belly, feeling it was still a bit empty; it seemed he hadn't eaten enough.
Seeing his expression, Cao Yu beckoned to Huo Yuhao, " Yuhao, six more servings!"
"Alright, Brother Yu." Huo Yuhao got busy again.
Cao Yu asked Wang Dong, "Is there enough pig for you to eat?"
"Hey! If you say that again, you're the pig!" Wang Dong glared at him angrily, wishing she could jump onto the table and grab his ear.
But after thinking about it, he didn't dare, so he could only put down his eager little hand and stare at Cao Yu with a defiant look on his face.
"You pig, you're a big, stupid pig!" Cao Yu retorted.
"You're the pig, you're a huge, stupid pig, hehe~ hehe~"
In the blink of an eye.
Three months later.
Time flies, and the years wait for no one.
The initial learning period for the new students has passed, and Cao Yu's stores are now operating smoothly.
However, a few minor incidents occurred during this process.
It seems the people in Shrek City have all become picky eaters because of grilled fish.
This led to his disastrous failure when promoting the local delicacy, snail rice noodles.
I remember a large group of people blocking his shop entrance, demanding that he stop making these strange foods because they smelled terrible. Compared to the aroma of grilled fish, it was a stark contrast, and many people couldn't stand it.
"How come this situation is different from that of Star Luo City?"
"They've all been spoiled rotten! They're all a bunch of unruly subjects, always plotting against me, utterly despicable!"
"Forget it, the customer is always right. Let's just... not make snail rice noodles."
In the end, hot pot and grilled fish were the only options available, and snail rice noodles were temporarily removed from the Shrek City menu.
Over the past three months, our "dear" teacher Zhou Yi has become increasingly haggard due to the interference of Dream Entry Technique.
Even in her dreams, she still loved taking baths.
He also clearly remembers certain features, such as a mole on his waist.
Of course, she also died in different ways in her dreams. Cao Yu felt that these could be compiled into a world-class masterpiece, "Two Hundred and Fifty Different Ways of Dying in Zhou Yi's Dreams".
The first type is dying in a dream, like when you're taking a bath and there are people all around you.
Then he jumped into the sea and suddenly encountered a great white shark, dying from its gaping maw.
There's also the one with the head removed by Bear Grylls, a crunchy chicken-flavored treat that's said to be five times more nutritious than beef.
There are all sorts of deaths, and countless methods. Besides these nightmares, there are also, of course, beautiful dreams.
For example, dreams that everyone enjoys, such as erotic dreams.
Due to these factors, Zhou Yi and Fan Yu finally started sleeping in separate rooms.
I'll say it again.
A breakdown in a marriage often begins with couples sleeping in separate rooms.
Hehehe!
In fact, Cao Yu really wanted to say that he didn't do it on purpose, but rather... it was intentional.
He hadn't expected things to progress so quickly.
After all, the progress of the Dream Entry quest is only 90/250, which is less than half.
Despite enduring so much mental torment, Zhou Yi persisted in strictly disciplining the freshmen in Class One, which caused his beautiful deskmate Luo Yan immense suffering.
After three months of rigorous training, more than 20 of the original 90 trainees were laid off, leaving only 67.
Our classmate Luo Yan almost got laid off because of her.
If you can discipline them in real life, why can't I discipline you in my dreams?
We'll cancel each other out, and we're even!
Therefore, when Cao Yu did such a despicable thing, he felt no remorse whatsoever.
Zhou Yi's strictness is among the best in the entire college; most of those who remain in her class are the most outstanding individuals.
So despite laying off so many people and being constantly reported by many, the college's higher-ups still did not intervene to stop her.
"Physical education class is suspended today." Zhou Yi stood on the podium, her disguise still unable to hide the somewhat obvious dark circles under her eyes.
Those eyes had lost their former bright and spirited look, revealing only emptiness.
She didn't know what was going on lately. She had tried to get her husband Fan Yu, to ask Elder Song and other people, but in the end, none of them could solve her problem.
After sleeping in a separate room from Fan Yu, I stopped having nightmares, but those good dreams... were just too real!
She only remembered that there seemed to be a mysterious person in her dream, but she couldn't see his face clearly, and she couldn't help but linger...
Zhou Yi's face, hidden beneath her disguise, was already flushed red, and her eyes were moist, but this was something she couldn't reveal to outsiders under her perfect mask.
