It is said that a couple of years ago, before Jiang University had the Seventh Dining Hall, a graduate went to a coastal city to look for a job. When the HR saw his resume, they thought Jiang University was some unknown, low-grade institution, sparking a big joke.

Although this incident was a joke and showed the HR's lack of professionalism, undeniably, most people from Jiang University felt it was a disgrace.

But there's nothing to be done about it. Who could change the fact that our school wasn't that well-known?

But now it's different. The Jiang University Seventh Dining Hall has gone viral online. If anyone dares to say they've never heard of Jiangzhou University, it's not that Jiangzhou University is unknown, but that this person is short-sighted.

However, the popularity of "Jiang University Seventh Dining Hall" wasn't as pleasing for Zhu Youfeng, because it meant countless food enthusiasts would compete with him for the limited private dining rooms at the Seventh Dining Hall.

This, this difficulty, is truly many times harder than winning the five-million-dollar grand prize!

But what can be done?

No matter how hard it is, you have to go for it, especially when you love the food so much.

…

Across from Jiang University, at Xuefu Jia Garden District.

Liu Xining and Pan Jingchen went downstairs for a walk in the neighborhood after their lunchtime nap.

The weather today is wonderful, with the sun shining brightly, not a cloud in the sky. The deep blue sky is as clean as a sapphire, glistening with a pristine light.

"Chenchen, have you been online lately?"

The spring sun shines warmly and comfortably, and Liu Xining squints slightly as she walks leisurely forward. She tilts her head to glance at Pan Jingchen, her face adorned with a gentle smile, and says,

"Your 'Chengzi' are missing you a lot, constantly asking online, 'Where has my Chenchen gone? Why hasn't she shown up for so long?'"

"Chengzi" is the collective nickname for Pan Jingchen's music and movie fans.

Pan Jingchen nodded slightly, the corners of her mouth lifting a tiny bit as she softly replied, "Yes, I've seen it too."

Whether it was Jiang Yu's cooking that had an effect, or being away from the bustling, noisy metropolis and the high-pressure job, Pan Jingchen has indeed been slowly improving.

Of course, she still has a long way to go before truly overcoming depression, but at least now she would actively ask for food, is willing to come out for a stroll, and even just now flashed a slight smile.

Such changes were absolutely impossible when she first came to Jiangzhou.

For these changes, even now, Liu Xining is secretly grateful. Luckily, she insisted on bringing Pan Jingchen to find Jiang Yu, and luckily she had known Jiang Yu earlier. Without this, how could Pan Jingchen have improved so quickly?

Even taking anti-depressants daily and seeking psychological counseling might not have a greater impact than a simple tomato braised oat fish prepared by Jiang Yu.

"Why haven't you replied to them?"

Liu Xining blinked her big eyes, teasingly saying, "You're breaking hearts this way, your 'Chengzi' are all very worried about you."

"I don't know what to say to them."

After a moment of silence, Pan Jingchen sat down by a swing at the side of the road, gently swaying as she spoke softly,

"If I tell them I might never go back, would they stop being my 'Chengzi'?"

"You just like to overthink things too much."

Liu Xining shook her head somewhat helplessly, comforting,

"You need to learn from me, don't always bottle up your unhappiness, let it out when you need to. That's how you can live easier.

As in now, we went out for a walk. Look, the sun is so warm, the sky so blue, we're just like two little girls sitting here on the swings. What troubles could we have?

If there are any troubles, they should all be cast away, let them retreat, retreat, retreat!"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Next to her, Pan Jingchen seemed to be infected by her joyful mood and even showed a trace of a smile. Although fleeting, she truly smiled!

Liu Xining, full of joy, grasped Pan Jingchen's small hand, eagerly asked,

"Chenchen, what do you want to eat tonight? How about we go to the Seventh Dining Hall together and meet that Junior Brother Xiaojiang who cooks for you every day?"

Pan Jingchen didn't speak, seeming to be hesitant. After a while, she slowly nodded:

"Okay."
