Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 172

"Hmm, the dishes served in this food stall taste so good and impeccable!" Spark muttered to himself with his mouth full of food as he listened intently to the host's introduction for the famous musician Spark on TV. After swallowing a mouthful of braised noodles, he shouted at a busy hostess, who was around 40-years-old,"Ma'am, please give us a braised beef dish."

"Okay, sure. Wait a minute please." The woman was very nice and prompt. After responding to his request, she quickly went to the kitchen and prepared the meat for them.

Manny rolled his eyes and waved his hand in the air helplessly. Since he was a little bulky, he looked really funny sitting on the small old ragged chair in the quaint food stall. The ceremonial suit he was all decked up looked really strange for such a modest place. "Spark, it's bad for your health to eat food like this...

You can't eat so much today, and then eat nothing tomorrow. Your body especially stomach will protest such bad habits sooner or later!"

Manny complained as he grew concerned about his health. All the people held him in high regard as a genius because of the honor and respect he gained for his exemplary work at such a young age, but they rarely ever thought about all the hard work and the struggle behind his success.

Spark raised his head and looked at Manny, raising his eyebrows playfully. With his another mouth full of noodles, Spark murmured inarticulately,"It's fine. My stomach is already used to all of this..."

As Manny heard his response, he couldn't help but roll his eyes again. "Look at yourself in the mirror now. If I tell ten random persons around us that you are Spark, I'm sure that eleven of them will come ahead to call me a liar," Manny grumbled in a low voice.

"Why would you say eleven persons will not believe it, if you ask only ten persons? I don't get the logic behind that equation." Spark asked curiously with a childish smile, as he quickly picked up a piece of braised beef to stuff into his mouth, which had just been served by the hostess.

Manny immediately thanked the hostess with a big smile on his face, and then he turned to Spark and replied in a serious tone,"Well, that's because there is a pregnant woman among them."

When Spark heard Manny's defense, he felt embarrassed by his dry humor, however, he shook his head helplessly and delved more into this topic. "Manny, it really tastes delicious. Why don't you give it a taste?" Spark urged him in an earnest manner.

"I'm not interested to have the dishes served in food stalls!" Manny rejected his offer almost immediately without any hesitation. He really could not understand why Spark was so into the food here, which didn't look presentable let alone meeting hygiene standards.
