They even said that Xie Jiling’s talisman was useful.

It was being sold at 3000 per piece!

Wasn’t she just a scammer?

This was why they didn’t tell the school management.

She would have gotten punished if they had reported her.

As a student at the University of B City, how dare she do something like that?!

As such, the people who didn’t know Xie Jiling well didn’t have a good impression of her.

They looked down on her.

Some people were secretly asking, “What’s her relationship with Han Zhuofeng?”

“What’s the situation with this little shaman?”

“She usually babbles some nonsense. I didn’t expect that she could do something like this.”

“Han Zhuofeng isn’t taking the initiative. She grabbed Han Zhuofeng’s arm.”

“Does she have a good relationship with Han Zhuofeng?”

“I have never thought that she was so flirty.”

Xie Jiling didn’t hear their words

Although she knew how to exorcise, she wasn’t clairvoyant.

She dragged Han Zhuofeng to a food street near the school.

“Because this food street is near our school, business is good for the restaurants on this street. Plus, the food in the restaurants here tastes good, and they don’t cost a lot because they are near a school.” Xie Jiling said to Han Zhuofeng while they were walking.

Usually, you would see a lot of tourists on a food street.

However, a food street near a university was different.

It wouldn’t be a street frequented place by tourists.

However, Xie Jiling had forgotten…

She forgot that since this food street was near school, the small restaurants here had delicious, reasonably priced food, and there weren’t that many students.

However, most of the customers here were students from the University of B City.

Some had already been here while some were following Xie Jiling and Han Zhuofeng.

They were going to eat anyway, so they decided to follow along and watch the hottest gossip.

At this moment, the students who were already in the restaurant were surprised to see Han Zhuofeng and Xie Jiling.

They were all making their own guess about Xie Jiling and Han Zhuofeng’s relationship.

They had good and bad thoughts.

Eating here was more conspicuous than eating at a food street usually visited by tourists.

Xie Jiling didn’t think about that at all.

Actually, Xie Jiling never really knew the ways of the world.

She was simple-minded with simple thoughts. She simply followed her heart.

She grew up in the Xie Family house.

She had always been surrounded by family members and rarely interacted with people outside.

Aside from her family members, she only interacted with vengeful spirits.

Aside from learning, she would often go out with her father to exorcise spirits.

When she became older, she started traveling the world, representing the Xie Family.

As such, Xie Jiling was a naive, simple-minded, and straightforward girl.

And that was why she often spoke what was on her mind.

If it were someone else, they wouldn’t have been so straightforward when accepting commissions.

So, Xie Jiling didn’t think much about the current situation.

“What’s that smell?” Han Zhuofeng sniffed and thought that the smell was pungent.

“Why does it smell so bad? Is there a restaurant on this food street that failed the health inspection? The smell is so bad you can smell it outside the restaurant. It’s so obvious.” Han Zhuofeng frowned and said.

Why did the health department not do anything about this?

This definitely wasn’t the smell of stinky tofu.

Han Zhuofeng could recognize the smell of stinky tofu. He had never had stinky tofu before, but he had smelled it before while passing by.

“No.” Xie Jiling hurriedly said. She didn’t expect that Han Zhuofeng would have no idea about this. Clearly, he wasn’t as knowledgeable as she thought.

“This is it.” Xie Jiling dragged Han Zhuofeng to a restaurant.

As expected, the pungent smell became even worse.

The smell was coming from this restaurant.

Han Zhuofeng lifted his head and stared at the signboard of this restaurant.

[Best River Snails Rice Noodle.]

“What?” The puzzled Han Zhuofeng asked Xie Jiling, “River Snails Rice Noodles?”

It smelled so bad!

Han Zhuofeng couldn’t help but cover his nose.

The smell was so pungent…

This horrible smell was different from the smell of stinky tofu.

“Let’s go in.” Xie Jiling dragged Han Zhuofeng inside.

Han Zhuofeng was a big man. If he didn’t want to, Xie Jiling wouldn’t have been able to drag him inside.

It was all because he could tell that Xie Jiling really wanted to eat this.

Even if it smelled horrible, Han Zhuofeng decided to endure it.

The worst-case scenario would just be him not eating and simply watching Xie Jiling eat.

The restaurant wasn’t big. It smelled really bad, but there were a lot of people.

There was only one empty table left.

Xie Jiling quickly dragged Han Zhuofeng to take a seat.

“Is this the restaurant you wanted to try?” Han Zhuofeng asked.

It was no wonder her roommates wouldn’t come with her.

“They think it’s too smelly, so they don’t want to come with me.” Xie Jiling felt a little embarrassed as she said, “Since it’s your treat, shouldn’t you ask me what I want to eat?”

“I want to eat this for lunch today.” Xie Jiling looked at Han Zhuofeng with her eyes brimming with anticipation. “Buy this for me, will you?”

Han Zhuofeng thought that it was really easy to satisfy Xie Jiling.

As a wealthy lady who could earn millions with just a commission, she actually just wanted to eat a bowl of river snails rice noodles that cost 15RMB and 20RMB if you add meat.

However, when Han Zhuofeng heard what Xie Jiling said, he felt like Xie Jiling had taken advantage of him.

She had finally found a fool willing to accompany her here for this food.

Han Zhuofeng laughed and said, “Sure. We have been in this restaurant for a while. I’m starting to get desensitized to this horrible smell. What do you want to eat?”

Han Zhuofeng didn’t even tell Xie Jiling to order whatever she wanted.

After all, no matter how much she ordered, it shouldn’t cost much.

“I want a bowl of their best dish river snail rice noodles with fried egg and vegetables.” Xie Jiling already knew what she wanted, so she answered immediately.

No one knew how long she had been wanting to come to this restaurant.

Han Zhuofeng finally understood why Xie Jiling didn’t dare to come here by herself.

Because this restaurant was near campus, most of the people here were students at the University of B City.

Everyone came in pairs. If Xie Jiling came here by herself, it would seem a little sad.

At this moment, someone came to get their order. Han Zhuofeng then ordered a bowl as per Xie Jiling’s request.

Xie Jiling asked in surprise, “Are you not going to eat?”

It was already really difficult for Han Zhuofeng to sit here.

Han Zhuofeng didn’t care about the dining environment. He didn’t care if it was a high-class restaurant or a food stall.

Usually, the dining environment on set was even worse than the food being sold in food stalls.

Sometimes, he would have to eat by the road.

If they were filming at a place that wasn’t too remote, he could order a takeout.

However, if the place were too remote, they would need to hire an auntie who could cook at a canteen. The auntie would make a big pot of rice for the film crew and cast, then everyone would eat together.

If they were in the city, things would be better.

Sometimes, they would have to eat outside with the wind blowing at them.

In fact, there were times when the weather was worse, and they would eat their food with sand blowing into their mouths.

So, Han Zhuofeng wasn’t really a pampered son of a rich family.

The dining environment didn’t matter to him.

Han Zhuofeng scratched his nose and said, “You haven’t had this before, right?”

Xie Jiling shook her head and said, “I was watching a mukbang, and many mukbangers were eating this. They were eating it like it was really delicious. Although there were comments saying that it smells really bad, I’m still really curious. Since there’s a restaurant selling this near my school, I wanted to give it a try.”

“That’s why you should just order one bowl and give it a taste and see if it’s good. If it’s good, I will order another bowl. If it’s not, we will go to another restaurant. If you don’t think it’s good, you don’t have to force yourself to finish it,” Han Zhuofeng said.
