"Today was originally not part of the plan, but now it seems like there's no need to ruin the original plan," Ma Zhida said happily.
"We agreed on Egg Fried Rice, nothing else," the young man said with a smile.
"I know, I know. I won't be picky. Don't worry," Ma Zhida nodded seriously to express his affirmation.
"You rascal," the young man laughed and shook his head.
The two of them chatted while waiting in line. It was strange that the two of them didn't even exchange their names, but they were still chatting enthusiastically.
"Seeing that you haven't come for so long, I thought you weren't coming anymore," Ma Zhida suddenly lamented when he sat down.
"What do you two want to eat?" Zhou Jia went up and asked before the young man could answer.
"Two bowls of Egg Fried Rice," the young man turned his head and said to Zhou Jia.
The young man said Egg Fried Rice, so it was Egg Fried Rice and nothing else.
"Okay. Please pay first and then eat." Zhou Jia said in a regular manner.
"Got it," the young man nodded and took out his phone to transfer the corresponding amount to his account.
"Okay, I got it. Please wait a moment," Zhou Jia glanced at the phone and nodded with a smile.
"Um," the young man turned his head and said to Ma Zhida after ordering the dishes.
"To be honest, I did forget about it," the young man said seriously.
"Then it seems like I'm quite lucky that you can still remember it," Ma Zhida said with a laugh.
"No, I'm very lucky because I also lent money to others, just like you," the young man said seriously.
"Oh?" Ma Zhida didn't understand.
At first, Ma Zhida thought the young man was joking when he said he forgot about it, but now it seemed that it wasn't the case.
"I went to Yunnan City for a business trip for more than a month," the young man said after drinking a mouthful of water from the welcoming set meal.
"Are you going to tell a story? Lighting technician, give me a lens, "Ma Zhida looked at the young man and joked.
"Don't be like that. It's just a short story," the young man nodded naturally and continued.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I was on a business trip there. One day, I ate Bridge Noodles in a restaurant. There were so many people in the restaurant that it took a long time just to wait in line." The young man didn't stop. He opened the appetizer candy and ate it.
"That should be the special rice noodles of Dian Province." Ma Zhida nodded his head approvingly.
"The rice noodles in his restaurant are different from ours. You have to line up first and go to the counter to order. After ordering, you give a list and then go to pay the bill." The young man introduced the rules of the restaurant in detail.
"It's kind of like the Lanzhou Ramen Restaurant." Ma Zhida was a good listener. Not only did he listen attentively, but he also answered earnestly.
"Yes, it does look like that." The young man nodded.
"My colleague and I are in the front row. In front of me is a girl with short hair and natural curls. She looks very much like IKEA." The young man suddenly described the woman.
"You are really observant. What the hell is IKEA?" Ma Zhida asked with a smirk.
"He looks ordinary, but he looks very virtuous." The young man shrugged and only answered the latter question.
"Tsk-tsk. You even know about his character?" Ma Zhida said meaningfully.
"I heard that she ordered the No.1 Rice Noodles. It's quite expensive, 58 RMB per serving. Later, my colleague and I also ordered the same." The young man's expression was noncommittal, but he still said seriously.
"Um. Then you asked for the number?" Ma Zhida asked naturally.
"No. Just like me, she found that she didn't bring any money when she paid. I was standing behind her, so I lent her the money," the young man said in one breath.
This time, Ma Zhida didn't interrupt. He just listened carefully.
"After paying, the girl was quite shy. She just sat with us and ate. During the meal, we chatted for a while," the young man continued.
"That girl asked me why I would borrow money from a stranger. Then I thought of you and told her about you," the young man looked at Ma Zhida and said.
The girl blushed slightly and asked embarrassedly, "Why were you willing to lend money to me? Besides, you don't even know me."
"Because I didn't bring any money last time and someone lent it to me, a stranger," the young man ate a mouthful of rice noodles and said gently.
"Do you know who that person is now?" The girl asked subconsciously.
"I don't know. I didn't ask for his name and I don't know his name." The young man shook his head. Even his colleague beside him looked at him curiously.
After all, the young man's colleague thought the same as Ma Zhida, that this guy wanted to take the opportunity to pick up girls.
The girl revealed a puzzled expression. Before she asked, however, the young man continued saying.
"But I know that place. It's in the Yuanzhou shop. The boss is especially chuunibyou." The young man couldn't help saying that when he thought of Yuan Zhou's gorgeous Han clothes.
After that, the young man didn't say anything else.
"Hey, wait. Why is Boss Yuan so chuunibyou?" Ma Zhida couldn't help asking when he heard that.
"Of course. Look at how unique Boss Yuan's clothes are. And he thinks he's the most handsome man in the universe every day," the young man pretended to be serious and said.
"Now that you mention it, it does seem to be." Ma Zhida nodded approvingly when he saw the delicate and clean lotus pattern on Yuan Zhou's sleeves.
"Wait. Are you focusing on the wrong point?" The young man couldn't help asking.
"What point?" Ma Zhida was puzzled.
"The girl didn't bring any money with her. That's why I remembered that I haven't paid you back yet," the young man reminded him.
"In that case, I do have to thank that girl." Ma Zhida said earnestly.
"I'm just kidding. How could you believe that? I've always remembered the money I owed her. It's just that I haven't had the chance to pay you back," the young man immediately said smilingly when he saw Ma Zhida's earnest expression.
"Never mind. But I want to clarify one thing. I lent you money because I'm a kind person. But you might not necessarily be the same." Ma Zhida immediately counterattacked.
"You think too much. I didn't leave her number. I only told her that I would pay her back when we meet again." Obviously, the young man knew that Ma Zhida said his motive wasn't pure. He immediately explained.
"That I don't know." Ma Zhida revealed an annoying smile. Obviously, he didn't believe him.
The two people joked and ate the Fried Rice that had just been delivered. It was quite harmonious, even though they didn't even ask each other's names.
Obviously, Ma Zhida didn't care about this trivial matter of lending money to a stranger. As for the young man, he had once been rescued by someone, so he also did the same.
Even Yuan Zhou, who had originally prepared to say something after hearing the evaluation of him as a chuunibyou, couldn't help laughing when he saw the two people chatting and joking like that.
"There really are all kinds of people." Yuan Zhou muttered inwardly. As for the title of the most handsome man in the universe, he simply ignored it.
