Universe Infinite Canteen

As Love-Struck asked her question, Ma Lu also timely prepared the tissues.

From his perspective as an observer, this was not the call to charge into battle but more like the midnight chime of a clock. Once it struck, the princess would turn back into Cinderella, and the fairy tale would shatter into pieces.

A man like the lonely hunk would definitely not lack a girlfriend. How could he possibly take to heart an online friend of unknown origin?

Ma Lu initially thought this would be a scam, but now it seemed more like a prank.

Everything about the lonely hunk was real, but precisely because of that, this relationship seemed even more unrealistic.

Although he had always disguised it well, under the effect of the sour berry caramel cream pudding, he would eventually pour out his true feelings obediently.

The lonely hunk smiled slightly and after a moment, he opened his mouth and started to sing softly.

"You are a beam of light/illuminating my window/making my bleak world once again full of color and longing~

"I want to offer you my shoulder/as your haven/indifferent to all the slander and gossip in this world~"

"I don't care about your appearance/because what I love is not your skin and facade/but your bright, beautiful heart~"

Upon singing this, the lonely hunk stood up from his seat, walked in front of Love-Struck, took her gloved hand in his, and said affectionately.

"Our meeting is not by chance/all of this is the work of fate/we are destined to accompany each other forever/I will love you forever and ever~"

For the final line, he specifically hit a high note. His rich and masculine voice struck straight into Love-Struck's heart, causing her to tremble with excitement.

"Handsome Brother, I, I never thought you could love me so much. I'm so happy! Today is the happiest day of my life!!!"

By now, there was no more hesitation or doubt in Love-Struck's heart.

She knew she had found her true Prince Charming!

Just like her beloved had said, everything must have been arranged by fate.

On the other side, Ma Lu was also stunned.

This... This wasn't scientific at all!

The lonely hunk actually really liked Love-Struck. But their levels were clearly not equal, Ma Lu felt like he was watching a TikTok drama.

An innocent girl who knew nothing about the world was inexplicably and deeply doted on by the overbearing CEO.

Although it felt thrilling to watch, it made no logical sense at all.

More importantly, the lonely hunk had never even seen what Love-Struck looked like. Although there indeed are people in the world who don't care that much about appearances, having zero curiosity is just too strange.

Something's off, something is off.

For a moment, Ma Lu even doubted if the sour berry caramel cream pudding had lost its effect.

But, clearly, when it was used on the person in the black down jacket yesterday, it was quite effective. Or perhaps he was just overthinking it.

Although the scene before him was somewhat unconventional, theoretically, even extremely improbable events could indeed happen.

It seemed that Lady Luck was particularly favoring Love-Struck today.

Subsequently, as if making up her mind, Love-Struck reached out to remove the veil from her face.

However, her hand was then held down by the lonely hunk.

"As I've said, I don't mind your beauty or your scars~"

"Handsome brother~" Love-Struck could no longer restrain the surging love in her heart and plunged into the arms of the man before her.

Then she took out a small square box from her own body and opened it.

Inside were two golden rings, each with a central gem that sparkled dazzlingly.

She picked up one of them, gathered her courage, and looked shyly at the lonely handsome man.

"Handsome brother, you have passed the test my mother left behind, so will you, will you become my husband?" she asked timidly.

"Of course~" The lonely handsome man extended his hand and said without hesitation, "I promise you that soon, nothing in this world will be able to separate us, my dear wife~"

After he finished singing, he also picked up the other ring and put it on Love-Struck.

"Hu... husband," Love-Struck called out shyly.

Things were moving too fast, the plot was advancing too quickly!

Keep in mind that it had been less than 40 minutes since Love-Struck and the lonely handsome man had met, Ma Lu felt that at this rate, by the end of an hour, the two would probably be discussing what to name their first child.

Love-Struck and her boyfriend were supposed to have come for dinner, but Ma Lu now found his mouth inexplicably filled with dog food.

He couldn't quite handle the sour stench that permeated the restaurant, so he quietly retreated to the kitchen, found a random forum, and scrolled through live streams of people catching cheaters and posts asking for advice on relationship discord.

He felt his emotions stabilize slightly.

Then he carried out two soft and fluffy Konjac Cakes, the last dish of the evening.

However, to his surprise, when he returned to the front hall, he found that Love-Struck and the lonely handsome man had already stood up and were packing up, seemingly ready to leave.

Love-Struck said to Ma Lu, "Thank you, boss. We had a very happy meal tonight. I've transferred the remaining money to you, so we don't need the rest of the dishes... My husband and I plan to, um... head home."

Ma Lu checked his electronic wallet and sure enough, there was an additional 1200 Star Currency, on top of the previous deposit, amounting to a total of 1500 given by Love-Struck.

Compared to the initially agreed 800, it was almost double.

It was clear that she was in a really good mood tonight, standing hand in hand with the lonely handsome man at the restaurant's entrance.

Since the meal payment had been received, Ma Lu certainly didn't want to disrupt their sweet moment.

So he said to Love-Struck and the lonely handsome man, "Well then, congratulations to the happy couple. I look forward to your next visit to the Universe Infinite Canteen."

"I will," Love-Struck nodded, excitedly saying.

The lonely handsome man also sang, "After my wife dies, I will revisit this place~"

"What?" Ma Lu was taken aback. "Uh... Did I hear you wrong just now?"

"You didn't hear wrong/I indeed said that~ everything is going according to plan/soon I'll complete another perfect masterpiece~"

The smile vanished from the lonely handsome man's face, sweat beaded his forehead, and he clenched his fists, clearly struggling fiercely with his own mouth.

At that moment, he wanted to say that he had just been joking.

But under the influence of the sour berry caramel cream pudding, he could no longer lie and cover it all up.

Veins popped on his face, and he glared at Ma Lu, his sung notes growing increasingly intense.

"What have you done?/Why do I keep singing/This needs to stop or it will be bad/My secret's going to be exposed~"
