Just as he finished serving himself a bowl of rice and was about to start eating, two girls rushed in from outside. One of the girls shouted loudly as soon as she entered the store, sounding very lively: "Boss, do you have anything else to eat? We need to eat quickly, we have class soon."
Li Ling looked up and his eyes suddenly lit up. However, his gaze was not fixed on the girl who had just spoken, but on the girl behind her.
"Wow, the boss is a handsome young man!" the girl exclaimed upon seeing Li Ling. She wore a red hair clip, which, combined with her round face, made her look particularly lively.
"Hey, why isn't Oppa saying anything... Oh, you saw our beauty!" The girl saw Li Ling standing there speechless, and then followed his gaze. She saw that Li Ling's eyes were fixed on her best friend who had come with her, and a playful smile appeared on her face.
"Hehe, sorry, I was a little distracted." Li Ling chuckled after snapping out of his reverie and pointed to the wall on one side, saying, "I wonder what you two would like to eat? There's a menu on the wall."
But inwardly he murmured, "I've searched high and low without finding it, and now it's right here without any effort at all. I never expected to encounter my target here." (Wish Star of All Realms)

Chapter 121 Encounter
Actually, the system always manages to help Li Ling find the main character of the mission without him even realizing it.
That's right, these two girls are the 'witch' Gu Ziyun and her best friend Do Myung-hee.
It is now 2017, the year before the story takes place, and the story takes place in 2018.
Li Ling originally planned that if he couldn't find the witch's whereabouts, he would wait until she participated in the TV program "Tomorrow's Star" before contacting her.
Now it's not so troublesome, and meeting the witch earlier gives me a lot more options.
"Oppa, I don't know what kind of food is quick to cook. It's already 1:05, and we have class at 1:30, so we need to cook quickly because we're in a hurry."
Do Myung-hee was a little anxious and pouted at Li Ling, while Koo Ja-yoon, who was standing to the side, remained silent, but her eyes were inadvertently observing Li Ling. She felt that the way the man in front of her had looked at her just now was a little strange.
"If you want it quick, it'll be fried rice and char siu rice. I just made the fried rice, but it's a bit too strong in flavor, so I don't know if it'll suit your taste. If you want char siu rice, please wait five minutes," Li Ling said.
"Fried rice? Is this it?" Du Mingji asked, pointing to the rice that Li Ling had just served her.
"Yes, but I made it to suit my taste, so the flavor is quite strong. I don't know if you can accept it?" Li Ling said.
“Myung-hee, how about we just have fried rice? We’re running late,” said Gu Ziyun, who hadn’t spoken until now.
Li Ling sized up the witch. She was dressed in a school sailor uniform, and her innocent appearance made her seem exceptionally naive, like a pure and innocent little girl. Thinking back to the witch's sharp and ruthless image in the movies, Li Ling couldn't help but smile; he actually found the contrast rather endearing.
"Oh, okay. But it really smells good!"
Du Mingji brought her nose close to Li Ling's plate of rice and smelled it. The aroma of the fried rice made her feel unbearably hungry, even though she hadn't eaten since morning.
"Then boss, two servings of fried rice, please." Gu Ziyun also stepped forward to smell the aroma of the fried rice. Looking at the golden color of the fried rice, she was also a little tempted and said to Li Ling.
"Okay." Li Ling replied and went into the kitchen to serve two portions of the fried rice he had made for himself. He then placed them in front of the two men and said, "Please enjoy."
"Mmm~~ It's really delicious, but it's a bit spicy!"
Gu Ziyun and Du Mingji started eating. After the first bite, their foreheads were slightly sweating from the spiciness, but the deliciousness of the fried rice did not slow them down at all.
Seeing their condition, Li Ling smiled slightly and handed them two bottles of drinks, saying, "It must be very spicy. Have a drink to calm down. I cooked this rice for myself, so the flavor is exactly as I like it. Koreans tend to prefer milder flavors, which is quite different from ours."
After taking a sip of their drinks, Do Myung-hee said, "You're Korean? Isn't the young man Korean?"
Li Ling smiled and said, "I am Chinese. I just came here with my uncle to open a restaurant a long time ago, but my taste in food from China hasn't changed."
At this moment, Gu Ziyun asked curiously, "The boss just said that the whole pot was made for you? Will you be able to finish it?"
The witch's observation was indeed keen. Li Ling smiled at Gu Ziyun and said, "Yes, that pot was all made for myself. I'm not only a chef, but also a martial artist. I expend a lot of energy practicing martial arts, so I eat a lot."
Gu Ziyun looked Li Ling up and down, noticing his tall stature and strong, muscular arms, suggesting he was someone who exercised regularly.
She swallowed a mouthful of rice and mumbled, "Well, since we ate your food, you'll have to cook for yourself later, right? I feel a little bad."
Li Ling chuckled and said, "No need for that. Eating a little less occasionally won't have any effect."
Du Mingji looked up and asked, "Young man, are you practicing martial arts? Is it Taekwondo?"
Li Ling smiled and shook his head: "It's Chinese Kung Fu."
"Is Chinese Kung Fu Tai Chi?" Gu Ziyun asked.
Li Ling said, "Pretty much, just a bit older than Tai Chi."
"Dragon's Roar Iron Shirt" was created by Qiu Ran Ke in the early Tang Dynasty, while Tai Chi Chuan was created by Zhang Sanfeng in the Mongol Yuan Dynasty. "Dragon's Roar Iron Shirt" is hundreds of years earlier than Tai Chi Chuan.
"Then we must let the young master show us how to do it next time!" Du Mingji said with a giggle.
Gu Ziyun also stared at Li Ling. Her brain had been exceptionally developed since childhood, and she had also learned martial arts from all over the world online. Although they were all popular martial arts, with her brain's control over her body, her fighting skills were now among the best in the world. However, her appetite was only slightly larger than that of an average person, but Li Ling could eat the equivalent of six or seven people in one meal, which aroused her curiosity.
However, now is not the time to explore this, and in Gu Ziyun's mind, Li Ling is just a passerby in her daily life, and she will not have much contact with him in the future. Therefore, she only became slightly interested.
Because it was close to the start of afternoon classes, the two were in a hurry and ate very quickly.
After finishing her drink, Du Mingji patted her bloated belly and groaned, "I'm so full, and it was so delicious."
Gu Ziyun rubbed her bloated belly and nodded. Today's fried rice was truly exceptionally delicious.
Li Ling handed over two napkins and said, "Wipe your mouth."
After wiping their mouths with tissues, the two were about to take out their money when Du Mingji asked, "Little brother, how much?"
Li Ling smiled and declined, "No need, consider this meal on my behalf. I had a great time chatting with you, especially since you are all such beautiful girls. Consider it making friends."
"Wow, this guy is so nice!" Do Myung-hee's face lit up with a bright smile, then she looked at Koo Ja-yoon beside her and exclaimed in realization:
