After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life-Chapter 940 - 926: I’m Just Shy!

The super delicious noodle shop Hao Xisheng talked about is a very simple establishment. As soon as Bi Xia stepped inside, she paused slightly, and her originally indifferent expression softened momentarily. She couldn’t help but be reminded of the small shop Xia Shi used to run.

Meng Chi stood beside Bi Xia, suddenly laughing, "Honestly, in that moment, I had a reflex to head into the kitchen to help Auntie."

Raising her hand to pat Meng Chi’s shoulder, Bi Xia pressed down her cap, took off her sunglasses, and hung them on her collar. Seeing Hao Xisheng had already grabbed a spot and was waving over, Bi Xia and Meng Chi smiled, walked over, and sat down.

Hao Xisheng was wiping the grease off the table with a paper towel while secretly observing Bi Xia sitting across, inside. Bi Xia casually leaned against the wall, seemingly unconcerned that it might be covered with grime or even grease. Despite these possibilities, Bi Xia calmly lowered her head, using the cap to cover her face while she looked at her phone.

Suddenly, the young man lifted his head sharply, his bright eyes meeting Hao Xisheng’s directly. Hao Xisheng froze, immediately averting his gaze, his baby face gradually flushing red.

Bi Xia amusingly looked at Hao Xisheng, exchanged glances with Meng Chi, and then lightly curled her lips, raising a hand to tap on the table in front of Hao Xisheng, "Why are you hiding? Caught you."

Hao Xisheng: ...

"Speak up then, what were you secretly looking at me for?" Bi Xia raised an eyebrow. "Although I know I’m good-looking, being stared at so intently still makes me shy."

Meng Chi, drinking water, nearly choked. Their boss, known for narcissism, feeling shy—what a joke.

Glancing at Meng Chi briefly, Bi Xia curled her lips faintly, her foot mercilessly kicking Meng Chi’s leg beneath the table. Instantly, Meng Chi felt numbness where he was kicked, and then his entire leg started to tingle. No matter how much he hit it, there was no feeling; it wasn’t painful, but extremely uncomfortable.

Meng Chi looked tearfully at Bi Xia, realizing it’s best not to offend their boss!

Curious and puzzled, Hao Xisheng watched Meng Chi and Bi Xia, just about to speak when a sound came from behind—a staff member in an apron stood there. He carried a large bowl of beef noodles and placed two bowls before Meng Chi and Hao Xisheng, speaking in accented Mandarin, "One more bowl coming, please wait a moment."

Hao Xisheng quickly pushed his bowl of beef noodles to Bi Xia, "Idol, idol, you eat mine first, I’ll have the other one!"

Bi Xia watched Hao Xisheng, speaking while slurping, and couldn’t help but smile, pushing the beef noodles back, "You eat first, it’s fine, it’s the same thing."

"Come on! You’re a guest; you eat first!" Saying this, Hao Xisheng decisively pushed the beef noodles to Bi Xia, then covered his bowl as if determined not to eat.

Hao Xisheng looked at Bi Xia and coaxed, "Idol, just eat; I’m really not in a hurry. Plus, I eat here almost daily; can’t get enough of it. Everyone here, old and young, knows me."

"Oh?" Bi Xia raised an eyebrow, glancing at a figure and slightly raising her chin, "Bragging, huh? That person doesn’t seem to know you."

Following Bi Xia’s gaze, Hao Xisheng appeared embarrassed, "It’s really not my fault. This person only started recently, and I’ve been busy with things. I haven’t been here for days. When I came yesterday, I found new staff. What can I do? I’m helpless, you know; the previous girl loved me to bits, often sneaking three extra pieces of beef for me!"

Meng Chi: ...

Bi Xia: ...

"Idol, hurry and eat!" Hao Xisheng looked expectantly at Bi Xia, promptly urging.

Bi Xia gestured dismissively, "Don’t call me idol, I’m just a high school student; just call me by my name."

Hao Xisheng’s eyes brightened, suddenly acting bashful, fiddling with his fingers and looking at Bi Xia affectionately, whispering, "Bi, Bi Xia..."

Meng Chi: ...I kind of want to slap this person!
