This seemingly unsociable young man is named Cui Luoheng. He is a member of the track and field hurdling team of the S Province Sports Team and is also known as a troublemaker in the team.

Cui Luoheng was selected from the provincial sports school to the provincial team just two years ago. In the words of the hurdles team coach, "This kid has good talent, but he always looks like someone owes him eight million."

Actually, Cui Luoheng is annoyed by it too. Everyone thinks his face is full of rebellion, but he believes that anyone who can't eat well every day and has to undergo intense training would have a similarly gloomy expression.

Of course, apart from Cui Luoheng himself, no one in the team knows that his sour face is actually due to the problem of not being able to eat enough.

He finds this issue a bit melodramatic, but he's been a picky eater since childhood. Luckily, his family is well-off, and since he didn't like to eat, his family found all sorts of ways to get him to eat. Various delicacies were fed to him, which is how he managed to grow to 186 cm by the age of 16. Now, at 20 years old, he has shot up to 191 cm. In the hurdles event, his height is definitely an advantage.

However, his ability to eat well only lasted until he was discovered by his initial coach and joined the sports school.

Coming from a well-off family and with his father not expecting him to excel in academics, his family was convinced by the coach's talk of bringing glory to the country and the family name. Besides, his family, from his grandfather to his father, are all sports enthusiasts. Long story short, he was sent to the sports school at a young age, entering a cycle of "not enjoying meals - needing to eat due to intense training - wanting to go home to eat good food but the coach forbidding it - eating with a bad mood" loop.

Over the years, he has developed the ability to eat various foods he dislikes without changing his expression. After all, training requires a significant amount of energy. As an athlete, if he can't ensure the intake of various nutrients, there might not be significant issues in the short term, but in the long run, it will undoubtedly affect an athlete's personal condition and performance.

However, learning to eat disliked food and feeling unsatisfied after eating are two entirely different matters.

Since he started training, Cui Luoheng hasn't been able to enjoy a satisfying meal. Up until now, he's simply been wearing a sour expression every day.

Cui Luoheng feels like his temperament is just too good. There's no one in the entire S Province Sports Team with a better temperament than him!

But today, the aroma wafting from the third-floor cafeteria seems to be telling Cui Luoheng that the days of not being able to eat well might soon be over.

As Cui Luoheng entered the third-floor cafeteria, he could see a particularly long line at one of the counters, and the mouthwatering aroma was emanating from that very counter.

After glancing at the counter number, which was 3, Cui Luoheng immediately took out his meal card and swiped it at the designated spot. Those who dined on the third floor had their own personalized menus, and after swiping their cards, they would know which counter to go to for their respective meals.

Coincidentally, Cui Luoheng's dinner today consisted of three vegetable dishes, one meat dish, and one soup, all to be collected from counter number 3.

Seeing this, a faint look of satisfaction appeared on Cui Luoheng's face as he picked up his tray and headed towards counter number 3.

As Cui Luoheng reached the end of the line at counter number 3, Qiu Wen had just finished collecting his meal from the same counter. Today's meal included tomato egg soup and braised beef, both available at counter number 3. However, his meal didn't include stir-fried eggplant; instead, he had a dish of sautéed asparagus. He's been undergoing endurance training recently, and he mentioned that eating asparagus helps replenish oligosaccharides, which is exactly what his training regimen requires.
