Lin Feng, needless to say, as boys naturally eat more than girls.
Even though he wasn't an adult anymore, a fifth-grader's physique still needed to replenish energy and nutrients.
The reason Lin Feng was smiling involved a little secret of Shizuka's.
Or rather, readers who have watched the Doraemon anime should know that Shizuka's character is very cute.
But no one is born perfect, and Shizuka was no exception.
Gian's singing was deadly, and Shizuka, well, she lacked talent when it came to playing the violin.
Besides playing the violin, Shizuka's love for Roasted Sweet Potato was a secret that few people knew, probably only herself.
Even her close friends, Nobita, Gian, Suneo, and Doraemon, probably weren't aware of it.
However, Lin Feng, who had watched the original anime and understood Shizuka's character traits very well, was certainly aware of this.
"Shizuka, did you smell something?"
Thinking of this, Lin Feng deliberately pretended not to notice Shizuka's unusual change, and tried to sniff the air.
Then, he smiled and asked Shizuka, who was still waiting for the traffic light to cross the street.
"Smell? What smell...? I don't seem to smell anything..."
It could be seen that Shizuka was clearly stunned for a moment, then concealed the embarrassment in her heart and asked back as if nothing had happened.
"It's that very fragrant smell, I smelled it, it seems like the aroma of food."
Seeing Shizuka's somewhat cute reaction, Lin Feng also smiled and didn't expose her. Instead, he guided her step by step.
"Is, is that so, Lin Feng? Now that you mention it, I think I smell something similar..."
Shizuka's expression was actually a little awkward, although she hid it well. Her tone was somewhat stiff and not as natural as before.
It was obvious that this hobby caused her some psychological burden.
After all, a cute and kawaii girl who secretly liked eating Roasted Sweet Potatoes, which caused one to constantly fart, was something Shizuka couldn't quite get over.
Therefore, Shizuka told almost no one about her love for Roasted Sweet Potatoes, not even her closest parents.
Only when she was alone and sure no one would know would Shizuka secretly buy a Roasted Sweet Potato to satisfy her cravings.
And she was extremely careful when eating it, afraid of being seen.
From Lin Feng's perspective, he could actually understand Shizuka's behavior very well.
After all, it's best if as few people as possible know that Fairies also fart...
"Right, let's go grab something to eat and fill our stomachs. My treat, just to thank you for leading the way today."
Lin Feng smiled slightly. At that moment, the green light on the crosswalk lit up. Without waiting for a response, he led the way towards the source of the delicious smell.
"Oh, I really shouldn't..."
Although Shizuka was a little embarrassed, since Lin Feng said it was to thank her for guiding him today, she couldn't think of a good reason to refuse right away.
Of course, it wasn't a big deal in the first place, and there was no need to refuse.
It was just that she felt a little awkward about letting Lin Feng, the new transfer student in her class, treat her to a meal on their first day of knowing each other.
But now that Lin Feng had already started walking, if Shizuka didn't follow, the green light on the crosswalk would turn red.
So Shizuka didn't hesitate and followed Lin Feng across the street.
Lin Feng knew that once he provided a suitable excuse and reason, Shizuka's personality wouldn't allow her to refuse.
He wasn't worried about Shizuka objecting. Seeing her conflicted and unsure of what to say was quite amusing.
The two of them walked one behind the other, following the source of the aroma.
Shizuka, a little behind, was lost in thought. When she looked up, she found that Lin Feng had stopped in front of a Roasted Sweet Potato vendor.
This action caused Shizuka's heart to suddenly beat faster.
Perhaps it was because every time she bought a Roasted Sweet Potato, she went alone, secretly, after making sure no one she knew was around.
And now, besides herself, there was Lin Feng.
No matter what, Shizuka didn't want anyone else to know that she liked Roasted Sweet Potatoes.
Therefore, when Shizuka saw Lin Feng standing in front of the Roasted Sweet Potato stall, she felt a little flustered and at a loss.
However, she pretended to be very calm and walked over.
"The aroma I smelled from afar really did come from here."
"Uncle, how much are the Roasted Sweet Potatoes? Give us two."
Lin Feng knew very well that if he asked Shizuka directly, she would definitely be too embarrassed to admit she ate them.
But in fact, just a little observation was enough to see that Shizuka was actually very tempted by the aroma of the Roasted Sweet Potatoes, no matter how she tried to hide it.
Actually, there was nothing wrong with liking Roasted Sweet Potatoes.
It was just that Shizuka was constrained by her own image of a lady.
If she didn't have that to worry about, she could have eaten whatever she wanted, just like Gian and Nobita, without caring about what others thought.
"Alright, no problem!"
The vendor selling Roasted Sweet Potatoes was very enthusiastiHe quickly selected two Roasted Sweet Potatoes from the oven that looked very soft, glutinous, and sweet, then packed them up and handed them to Lin Fen of this fan-fic on my Patreon shop if you want to support and own the After paying, Lin Feng held one Roasted Sweet Potato in his hand, still steaming and fragrant, and walked over to Shizuka. Without a word, he stuffed one of them into Shizuka's hand.
