Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten

Chapter 511 - 471: Sharing Hardship and Torment Together

The chimes at midnight have long surpassed the meaning of day’s end in the daily life of modern youth; when they sound leisurely, it marks the grand opening of urban nightlife.

The city’s neon lights remain dazzling, vehicles flow endlessly on the street, the cozy cafes, bustling bars, and exuberant nightclubs... Every place pulsates with the sparks of youth and passion, enticing every soul unwilling to let their heart fall silent.

For this group of explorers embracing the night, dusk is merely the beginning of another exciting journey.

They traverse this unceasingly awake urban maze in their own unique ways, searching for their own light and shadow, dreams and reality.

And amidst this endless night and hustle, cyberspace has also become another vast realm for seeking resonance and joy.

Hence.

When Lv Pengfei’s latest video quietly came online at such a time, it traversed physical boundaries and instantly reached those "night owl" fans holding vigil in the deep night.

While browsing Weibo, their phone screens suddenly lit up, and a striking push notification popped before their eyes—"Your followed Brother Lake Jumper V has new updates!"

This unexpected surprise stirred the fans’ emotions tremendously, driving them to click the link almost instinctively as soon as they saw the notification, filled with longing for the daily snippets of their idol.

As soon as they clicked...

The familiar music instantly transported them to the culinary channel.

In just a few minutes of immersion, they quietly swallowed countless times, finally realizing that their favorite blogger had, this time, turned the camera towards the world of mouth-watering cuisine.

In the comments section, fans left messages, their emotions varied but all revolved around this unexpectedly delightful "midnight food attack":

"Damn! Blogger, did your internet go down during the day or what?"

"Blogger, is this on purpose? Posting such a food video in the middle of the night—is it to completely ruin my diet plans?"

"I thought it was just another daily share, but it turned into a midnight poison attack, who can withstand this!"

"These dishes are simply perfect in color, aroma, and taste, making my mouth water nonstop!"

"This filming background looks so familiar, isn’t it the famously hot kitchen of Dorami Kindergarten?"

"Confidently remove ’might’ from that statement—it’s indeed Dorami Kindergarten’s kitchen, no doubt! Don’t ask me how I know, just because the blogger’s wonderful copy clearly writes ’Dorami Kindergarten meals’, that’s proof enough."

"At the start of the video, that bowl of soup, thin as hair, is so beautiful it inspires imagination, isn’t it the Wenshi Tofu that Brother Peng mentioned?"

"That’s right, it’s this renowned Wenshi Tofu, and even more exquisite ones are following; look at the Longjing Shrimp! Each shrimp is like a pearl in morning dew, crystal clear, intertwining with the lingering fragrance of Longjing tea. Even across the screen, that freshness and elegance, inviting appetite, seem to permeate through, making mouths water."

"My goodness, has the kindergarten dining standard become so upscale nowadays? They can actually eat dishes from state banquets!"

"Wow, the kindergarten meal standard is astonishing! How enviable that the kids can enjoy cuisine at state banquet level..."

"Oh my... What sins have I committed, staying up late not sleeping, only to unintentionally stumble upon this video; now my stomach is grumbling incessantly!"

"I must plan these dishes for tomorrow, otherwise, I fear insomnia tonight!"

"I really can’t resist anymore, the food delivery app is open; even knowing there’s guilt eating late at night, I can’t help it!"

"Better to share happiness than enjoy alone, I couldn’t wait to share this video with my friends, late night, can’t let me alone bear this torment, let’s ’enjoy’ together!"

"Indeed, good brothers share troubles and pleasures alike; I’ve shared this video with my good brothers too..."

"I’ve shared with all my friends too, can’t be only me drooling here; we’ll all drool together!"

...

Late at night, when this video sneaked into the eyes of numerous night owls, their first reaction was a helpless "Damn!."

Already hungry, they were looking for a bit of spiritual solace before sleeping through Weibo; unexpectedly, this light touch of the fingertip opened a chance "encounter" with culinary temptation.

This unexpected "encounter" not only didn’t bring the expected comfort but instead, like oil on fire, made their stomachs even more restless, their entire body seemingly calling out for food in thirst and discontent...

Thus...

At the moment the video ended, they wasted no time in deploying likes, comments, shares— the triple-chain response.

You’re not supposed to suffer alone!

Exactly!

They vow to share this sweet "pain" with every lonely, sleepless soul wandering in the late night, letting them also taste this "torturous" flavor.

...

Just as Yao Ruobing was about to drift off after being immersed in a melodramatic romance series, her phone screen lit up with a video sent by a friend.

She couldn’t help but tap the screen lightly, and what appeared was the silky smooth Wenshi Tofu,

tempting to the extreme.

Accompanying it was a magnetic male commentary flowing gently, adding more charm to this visual feast.

But this sudden "gourmet temptation" immediately made Yao Ruobing "break the spell."

"Oh my, Li Qiqi, you scoundrel, I want to kill you! Sending me a food video late at night—is it to keep me sleepless so I’ll have to continue my Huabei payments? Also, don’t you know that sleeping hungry is the beginning of becoming a beauty?" Yao Ruobing couldn’t help but let out a wail.

She was already feeling hungry after binge-watching shows, originally planning to endure the hunger to sleep, but unexpectedly, this video made her stomach protest intensely again.

"Great, now I not only have to bear the aftermath of the show but also face this midnight gourmet temptation."

She muttered to herself, despite feeling discomfort from the hunger, the video seemed to have some magic, making it impossible for her eyes to move away from the screen.

Every dish in the video looked so tempting, so exquisite, coupled with perfectly timed music and magnetic commentary, her mouth involuntarily made chewing motions, as if she could truly taste the wonderful flavors described by the man in the video.

"Ahhh... it’s killing me..."

She felt tormented and puzzled.

Why can’t these food videos be seen during the day and only pop up frequently at night, always hitting the mark?

Could it be these food bloggers only update at night, specifically targeting the taste buds of night owls?

Wait a minute!

Some netizens claimed this food is from Dorami Kindergarten?

Full of curiosity and doubt, Yao Ruobing carefully browsed through the comment section and captions, and suddenly understood.

"So it’s really the food from Dorami Kindergarten..."

She had long heard of the excellent reputation of Dorami Kindergarten’s meals but didn’t expect them to be this good.

Even state banquet-level dishes appeared on the kids’ tables; it made her feel both shocked and envious...

Thinking of herself growing up, she’d never tasted what Wenshi Tofu and Longjing Shrimp tasted like, yet children at Dorami Kindergarten, at such a young age, could enjoy such exquisite food...

When she was in kindergarten, why didn’t she have such privileges? If she could’ve enjoyed such food back then, maybe her childhood would have had more beautiful memories.

She couldn’t help but silently make a wish: if given the chance, she must personally visit Dorami Kindergarten to try these legendary foods.

"Oh, right, I vaguely remember that next week seems scheduled for kindergarten vaccination day."

Suddenly inspired, her eyes sparkled with anticipation: "Tomorrow at work, I have to confirm Dorami Kindergarten’s kids’ vaccination dates, maybe I can apply to go there in person to vaccinate those adorable kids. In doing so, I wouldn’t just fulfill a social responsibility but might also get the chance to taste Dorami Kindergarten’s legendary cuisine, it truly makes one long for it..."

Her mouth couldn’t help but quietly curve upwards, immersed in delightful imaginings.

...

Meanwhile, as every late-night scroller stumbled upon Lv Pengfei’s tweet, they left their "angry" comments in the section, half-jokingly reproaching the blogger for posting such tempting food videos late at night, then decisively forwarding it to friends still awake.

Thus, in this quiet night, the tweet unexpectedly sparked unprecedented attention and discussion, its popularity like a lit bonfire, rapidly illuminating the entire online space.

Soon after, it climbed to the trending topics list at an unimaginable speed...
