Universe Infinite Canteen

Chapter 117 Not Eating Anymore

Although Mike had already left, there were still quite a few other employees in the company.

Especially the woman with the nickname Cindy to the right of Yu Yitong was extremely gossipy.

When Mike had asked her to go downstairs to the café to have lunch and discuss work, although Cindy was pretending to be still typing on the keyboard, her ears had already perked up, and a mysterious smile appeared on her face.

Yu Yitong, who had just joined the company not long ago and didn't want to get into trouble, decided to pour the marinated intestines into her lunch box and heat them up with the flatbread.

After opening the microwave, a delicious aroma immediately hit her.

It wasn't just Yu Yitong, even the colleagues who were closer to the workstations and water cooler area could smell it.

Someone asked, "Serina, what are you heating up, it smells so good?"

"Marinated intestines," Yu Yitong said, "I bought them from a street vendor this afternoon."

"Hey, they look really tasty." Someone else curiously walked over.

Yu Yitong was quite generous, placing the lunch box out for anyone who wanted to try to help themselves.

Soon, including Cindy, three female colleagues gathered around, each taking a piece, while the men generally showed more restraint.

After just one bite, one of the female colleagues' eyes lit up.

"Delicious! And these intestines are so clean, they don't have any off smell."

"Then that's no fun, intestines aren't authentic unless they smell," said a male colleague, which made many people laugh.

Meanwhile, the first woman who had spoken couldn't help herself and took another piece, and the remaining two, seeing her eat with such gusto, also became interested and were similarly surprised after tasting.

"Oh my goodness, this is so good?! My heavens, this is the tastiest marinated intestines I have ever eaten."

Yu Yitong frowned, "Do you have to exaggerate so much?"

"We're not exaggerating, you haven't actually tried it since you bought it, have you?"

The first woman who had spoken felt she couldn't stop eating, but she also heard Yu Yitong say it was her dinner, and since she had already taken two servings, it wouldn't be polite to take more, so she reluctantly withdrew her hand.

On the other hand, Cindy was already eagerly pulling out her phone, "Quick, where did you buy this? What's the name of the stall?"

"I bought it at the gate of our school... it doesn't have a name, it's just a stall," Yu Yitong said blandly.

Impressive! Some people are annoyed that she's got a boyfriend, yet underneath, they already have a new flame?

Yu Yitong used to enjoy eating braised intestines. However, the thought that some woman got her bowl free while Yu Yitong's was paid for suddenly made her lose her appetite. The joy of her earlier successful revenge also vanished without a trace.

She closed her lunchbox again.

Not eating, too angry!

Reason told Yu Yitong that she should move on from her relationship with Ma Lu.

And that's what she had done in the past year.

Yu Yitong's family situation was rather unique; her parents could hardly provide her with any financial assistance. The cost of her studies abroad was all gathered through her own efforts.

Besides the money earned from part-time work during her four years of college, she also took out a bank loan to barely scrape together her tuition fees.

After going abroad, in order to repay the loan on time and earn living expenses and rent, she had to work part-time tirelessly, taking on several jobs by herself.

The intense regimen of study and work filled all her time, leaving Yu Yitong with less than six hours of sleep each day, and no time to dwell on her past relationship.

By the time she had finally obtained her diploma, she was already eagerly searching for a job.

She felt that she had completely forgotten the figure who had once been part of her life—that is, until she returned to the school and encountered him again at the West Gate, where in a crowd, Yu Yitong recognized Ma Lu at a glance.

She had intended to sneak away before he noticed her, but then changed her mind halfway, as if to prove her clear conscience, and took the initiative to greet him.

Yu Yitong tried to convince herself that this was simply because she saw that Ma Lu wasn't doing well and wanted to help out of pure altruism.

But the truth was, even she wasn't clear on why she had done that.

And what happened afterward proved it was a thorough mistake.

As expected, the two ended up arguing again.

Yu Yitong eventually couldn't hold back and even fabricated a boyfriend to hit back, which led to her dragging Mike around in front of Ma Lu today to maintain the charade...

This pattern of mutual attacks, injuries, and counter-injuries was strangely familiar.

It couldn't go on like this, it was too dangerous.

Yu Yitong didn't want to fall into the same trap again. But Cindy's words resulted in her being unable to resist investigating The Universe's Number One Snack Stall again.
