Throughout the whole class, Xi Chunpeng kept badgering him with questions. As soon as class ended, Mu Changsheng hurriedly found an excuse to slip away.
The awkward thing was, he had forgotten to deliver the lunchbox.
Mu Changsheng shook his head, carried the lunchbox over to his electric scooter, put it inside, and prepared to start delivering orders for the day.
With a new phone, grabbing orders was much faster.
"It's only a little past three in the afternoon. Not too early, not too late—I'll work for four hours first."
Mu Changsheng twisted the throttle, snagged an order, and headed straight for the destination.
There were quite a few fellow delivery riders on the road. The weather was still bearable now, but once the scorching heat arrived, they would really suffer.
"Ding. One fruit platter delivered. Value: 20 yuan. Reward doubled. Congratulations, host, on receiving 100 yuan."
"Ding. Three cups of milk tea delivered. Value: 18 yuan. Reward doubled. Congratulations, host, on receiving 180 yuan."
"Ding. One birthday cake delivered. Value: 168 yuan. Reward doubled. Congratulations, host, on receiving 352 yuan."
"..."
Time passed quickly when he was working hard. Summer days were longer, and night fell later too.
"It's already seven?"
Mu Changsheng checked the time, somewhat surprised. He had once thought delivering food was sheer torture, but now time seemed to fly by.
That afternoon, Mu Changsheng delivered quite a few orders. He did not care about the price; he only cared about the distance. He did not accept any that were too far away.
To be precise, he had earned three thousand yuan in four hours.
"I should grab something to eat first."
Just as Mu Changsheng was about to put away his phone, it suddenly chimed. He thought it was Xi Chunpeng, but after opening the message, he found that it was from He Shuyu. He froze. "He Shuyu...?"
"Um... are you at school?"
"A cute sticker."
"I'm about to go eat. What's up?"
When He Shuyu, in the girls' dormitory, saw his reply, her face lit up. Ever since adding Mu Changsheng that day, she had never received a message from him, and she had started to feel a little sad.
That was why she had worked up the nerve to message Mu Changsheng first today.
"Ah, you haven't eaten either?"
But after seeing the message, He Shuyu did not know how to reply. She was completely inexperienced when it came to relationships.
"If I say this... won't there be nothing else to say after that?"
He Shuyu regretted sending it as soon as she did.
"Oh, He Shuyu, you're really bad at talking."
But the next second, He Shuyu froze, because Mu Changsheng said:
"Want to come out and eat together?"
He Shuyu's face reddened. Eating together... wasn't that something only couples did?
In truth, Mu Changsheng only wanted to thank He Shuyu. Of course, to him, this was also an opportunity.
He Shuyu did not want to refuse, so she sent, "Okay."
"Alright. Where are you now? I'll come pick you up. I know a place nearby with especially good beef noodles."
"I'm in the dorm..."
"Which dorm building are you in? I'll ride my electric scooter over to pick you up."
"Okay... (shy)"
He Shuyu put down her phone, her cheeks burning. She quickly picked up the mirror by her bed to check herself, then took out her makeup bag to touch up her makeup.
If you like this book, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
"Shuyu, where are you going? You look so happy."
The roommate in the neighboring bunk asked curiously.
He Shuyu put down the mirror, climbed down from her bed with a red face, and said, "I'm planning to go to the supermarket outside and buy something to eat."
"Shuyu, what do you want to eat? How about I bring it back for you? Song Haoning invited me to hang out at Tannan Plaza tonight."
Xu Wen put down her lipstick and smiled.
He Shuyu shook her head and brushed the hair by her ear a few times. "No need, Xu Wen. I'll buy it myself."
Xu Wen paused slightly but did not think much of it. She slung her white bag over her shoulder and said, "Then I'll be going first."
Mu Changsheng rode his electric scooter to the bottom of He Shuyu's dorm building, but he did not see her anywhere. "Is she not done getting ready yet?"
Mu Changsheng did not take out his phone to urge He Shuyu. Instead, he waited for a while.
About three minutes later, a softly panting voice came from behind him. "Sorry."
Mu Changsheng looked at He Shuyu as she walked up beside him and froze slightly.
At that moment, He Shuyu's fair face was flushed crimson, like clouds dyed by the evening glow, the color spreading from her cheeks all the way to her ears.
Her red lips were slightly parted as she panted, and a fine layer of sweat beaded on the tip of her nose.
A few strands of hair had slipped free, hanging by her cheeks and carrying a faint fragrance.
He Shuyu wore a light-blue athletic T-shirt that highlighted her slender, graceful figure.
"Did you wait long? I was packing some things and got delayed a little."
He Shuyu spoke apologetically.
Mu Changsheng shook his head and smiled. "It's fine. Get on."
He Shuyu looked at the electric scooter before her and climbed on shyly.
"Aren't you going to hold onto my clothes?"
Mu Changsheng suddenly turned around and asked.
He Shuyu's pretty face reddened. "Ah...?"
"The scooter goes fast, and the road is bumpy. You could easily fall off."
Mu Changsheng smiled.
A little nervously, He Shuyu grabbed Mu Changsheng's white T-shirt.
"Let's go."
Mu Changsheng started the electric scooter and headed toward the east gate with He Shuyu.
The cool breeze blew away much of the stifling heat from earlier. He Shuyu's mood immediately improved, and as she looked at the broad back in front of her, a smile crept onto her lips.
"Oh, right. Why didn't you message me to hurry me downstairs?"
"If I rushed you, wouldn't that be a little ungentlemanly?"
"Besides, would you really make me wait here all night?"
Mu Changsheng asked in return.
He Shuyu's entire face turned red at once. She was nervous, but she answered firmly, "Definitely... not..."
"Oh, right. Do you like noodles?"
"If you don't, I can take you somewhere else. The lamb soup over there is pretty good too."
He Shuyu pursed her lips. He really knew how to take care of people.
If you can't find it by searching the book title, try searching the author instead. Maybe it was just renamed!
