Wei Ziwei and Shu Wenwen were obedient children, but, tempted by the big crispy chicken leg, they couldn’t help but violate the teacher’s rules and secretly ordered takeout.

After they returned to their dormitory building, as they waited for their orders to be delivered, the two of them felt extremely embarrassed.

Shu Wenwen said, “Our whole class ordered meal delivery, which infuriated Professor Zhou.”

Wei Ziwei was also a little embarrassed. “Why don’t we buy some for the teacher to try next time? I believe he will forgive us after he has tasted the food from the Eighth Cafeteria.”

Shu Wenwen nodded deeply, “If we manage to get three orders tomorrow, we’ll give one to Professor Zhou.”

Because this was a girls’ dormitory, boys were not allowed to go upstairs, so the girls usually stood downstairs to wait for their delivery.

Suddenly, a flash of bluish-green light appeared in the distance, causing the surrounding students to gasp in surprise. Qing Niao got off the mountain bike, took out two large crispy chicken leg rice bowls from the delivery box, checked the information, and handed them to the two bewildered students.

After the Qing Niao left, the two of them came to their senses in a daze and couldn’t help but exclaim like everyone else. “Holy crap, he was riding so fast! I felt like he was about to take off!”

“And he’s so handsome! He didn’t lower the average attractiveness of the Eighth Cafeteria at all; on the contrary, he definitely raised the average.”

The two girls sighed as they went upstairs to their dorm room. They were in the same class, but it was only the two of them; their two other roommates weren’t from the same class, so they didn’t usually hang out together.

When the two returned to their dorm room, they found that their two other roommates had already had food delivered.

When their roommate saw the two of them return, she happily picked up the golden fried chicken in her hand. “Korean fried chicken, delivered just now. Do you want to try some? It’s incredibly delicious.”

Shu Wenwen nodded and raised the crispy chicken leg rice bowl in her hand. “We can eat together.”

“Okay.

Shu Wenwen returned to her desk and eagerly opened her lunchbox. As she did so, an enticing aroma filled the air of the entire dorm room, causing her two roommates to freeze in act of eating of fried chicken.

What smells so good?

“It seems like Shu Wenwen bought some crispy chicken leg.”

Because she had promised that they would eat together, Shu Wenwen suppressed her desire to bite into the chicken leg. She took her knife and sliced the chicken leg into willow-leaf shapes.

As she cut open the large chicken leg, the juicy texture of the chicken leg was revealed, releasing a delicious aroma.

The other two roommates looked at the fried chicken in their hands and suddenly it didn’t taste so good anymore.

After Shu Wenwen finished cutting the crispy chicken leg, her two other roommates had already picked up their chopsticks and were staring longingly at her bowl.

“This crispy chicken leg smells so good it’s making my head almost fall off.”

“Rich woman, I’m hungry, I need food.”

Shu Wenwen reluctantly divided the chicken meat among them, feeling that there was something slightly wrong with her previous decision to share.

When Shu Wenwen took a bite of the chicken leg, she almost shed tears of regret, wishing she could turn back time and slap her past self who had chosen to share the chicken leg.

She has never eaten such a delicious crispy chicken leg.

With one bite, the large crispy chicken leg meat crumbled in one’s mouth with a ‘crunch’, offering a ‘sandy’ texture that simply melted in one’s mouth.

One piece of meat could offer three distinct textures: the crispy skin, the tender fat, and the savory lean meat.

As one chewed, the multi-layered meaty flavor appeared and disappeared, making you want to chew carefully to explore more of its secrets.

After swallowing, the unique, rich flavor of the chicken leg lingered in the mouth for a long time.

With each breath she took, even the surrounding air was infused with the rich aroma of the big, crispy chicken leg.

The two roommates who ate the big crispy chicken leg with them were extremely surprised. “Holy crap, where did you buy this big chicken leg? The chicken is so delicious! Which hotel chef made it? Compared to this, the Korean golden fried chicken I bought is simply inedible.”

“You actually shared such a delicious chicken leg with me, we really are best friends. Rich lady, have pity on me again, I want to eat more.”

Shu Wenwen quickly devoured the meager amount of chicken that was left after it had been divided up. She glanced at her two roommates, who were eagerly waiting for more food, and then at the greasy Korean fried chicken she had received in return, falling into a long silence.

Regret, I regret it now.

She could have three times the happiness if she didn’t share the big chicken leg with her roommates.

In order to save her last vegetable dish and rice, Shu Wenwen shook her head hard and said, “If you want to eat, go buy it yourself. This is the big crispy chicken leg rice meal from the Eighth Cafeteria.”

The two roommates were extremely shocked when they heard this.

They assumed such high-end crispy chicken legs came from a fancy hotel, and they had been prepared to spend their money, never expecting that the seller was actually their school cafeteria – it was simply unbelievable.

This wasn’t the first time Shu Wenwen had told them that the food at the Eighth Cafeteria was delicious, but they hadn’t believed her because of previous online posts. But today, Shu Wenwen actually brought back a crispy chicken leg rice bowl from the Eighth Cafeteria. 

The two roommates looked at each other, belatedly realizing that the food at the Eighth Cafeteria, in fact, really was delicious!

After the crispy chicken leg rice was launched, a new post appeared on the Aero U Forum.

[The crispy chicken leg rice bowl at the Eighth Cafeteria is amazing! How can there be such a delicious chicken leg in the world!]

[The chicken leg was truly big. Plump, deep reddish-brown color, glistening with oil, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was fragrant with oil, but not greasy at all, and its delicious aroma was irresistible; my mouth kept watering.]

[From now on, please don’t ask me where I am. I’ll just say it directly: I’ll be in the Eighth Cafeteria.]

[For the rest of my life, the only thing I can’t let go of is the big crispy chicken leg from the Eighth Cafeteria.]

[You can never wake someone who’s pretending to be asleep, but all it takes to wake me is one sentence: The big, crispy chicken leg rice bowl is now available at the Eighth Cafeteria!]

[Waaaaah, how many years have you been single to develop such lightning-fast reflexes? They sold out the moment I clicked on them! Leave some room for the kids!]
