Story introduction
Xiang Nan's motto in life is: Never sit down if you can lie down, never wake up if you can sleep.
In the first month of school, she never saw the sun before eight o'clock in the morning - it wasn't that the sun didn't come out, it was that she didn't come out.
Until late one night, she came across a circle of friends from Aunt Zhou in the cafeteria:
"Meat buns at five o'clock in the morning can only be eaten by those who get up early."
In the picture, the steamed buns are steaming freshly out of the pan, with fine pleats and oily meat fillings peeking out from the cracks. The shooting time shows: 05:03.
Xiang Nan stared at the photo and swallowed.
At five o'clock in the morning the next day, she appeared at the door of the cafeteria wearing pajamas and a chicken coop on her head.
Then she saw—
The old professor who sits and watches people eating every day and says, "The way you eat buns is more profound than the philosophical writings";
The security guard who has been eating two buns in seventeen minutes for twenty years;
The boy who gets up at four in the morning for a run and looks at the door at six and three every day;
The food blogger who took 300 photos of steamed buns but didn't post any of them;
The postgraduate entrance examination girl who was doing "sobriety exercises" in front of the library and was videotaped and spread throughout the campus;
And that Aunt Zhou in the cafeteria who always says "eat while it's hot" and remembers the taste of every regular customer
