For an entire class, Xi Chunpeng had been pestering him. After class, Mu Changsheng quickly found an excuse to slip away.
However, it was a bit awkward that he had forgotten to deliver the lunchbox.
Mu Changsheng shook his head, picked up the lunchbox, and walked to his electric scooter. He put the lunchbox inside and prepared to start his deliveries for the day.
With his new phone, grabbing orders was much faster.
"It's only a little past three in the afternoon. I'll work for about four hours, no more, no less."
Mu Changsheng started the throttle, grabbed an order, and headed straight for the destination.
There were many fellow delivery drivers along the way. The weather was still bearable now, but it would be tough during the peak of summer.
"Ding, one fruit platter delivered, value: 20 yuan, double reward, congratulations to the host for obtaining 100 yuan."
"Ding, three cups of milk tea delivered, value: 18 yuan, double reward, congratulations to the host for obtaining 180 yuan."
"Ding, one birthday cake delivered, value: 168 yuan, double reward, congratulations to the host for obtaining 352 yuan."
"..."
Time flies when you're working hard. The days are longer in the summer, and it gets dark slowly.
"It's already seven o'clock?"
Mu Changsheng glanced at the time, a little surprised. He used to think delivering food was a chore, but now he felt like time was passing by so quickly.
He had delivered quite a few orders that afternoon. Mu Changsheng didn't pick orders based on price, only distance. He avoided the far ones.
To be precise, he earned three thousand yuan in four hours.
"I should go grab something to eat first."
Just as Mu Changsheng was about to put his phone away, it suddenly rang. Mu Changsheng thought it was Xi Chunpeng, but when he opened the page, he saw it was He Shuyu. This made Mu Changsheng pause, "He Shuyu...?"
"Um... are you at school?"
"[Cute emoji]"
"I'm about to go eat. What's up?"
He Shuyu, in the girls' dormitory, was delighted when she heard the reply. After adding Mu Changsheng that day, she hadn't seen him message her, and He Shuyu had been feeling a bit sad.
That's why she had nervously reached out to Mu Changsheng today.
"Ah, you haven't eaten either?"
But seeing the message, He Shuyu didn't know how to respond. She was clueless about relationships.
"If I say it like this... I won't be able to say what I want to say next."
He Shuyu regretted it a moment after sending the message.
"Oh dear, He Shuyu, you're so awkward with words."
But the next second, He Shuyu froze because Mu Changsheng said:
"Do you want to go out and eat together?"
He Shuyu's face flushed. Eating together... wasn't that something couples did?
Actually, Mu Changsheng just wanted to thank He Shuyu. Of course, this was also an opportunity for Mu Changsheng.
He Shuyu didn't want to refuse and sent back: "Okay."
"Alright, where are you now? I'll come pick you up. I know a place nearby that serves really good beef noodles."
"I'm in the dorm..."
"Which building is your dorm in? I'll ride my scooter to pick you up."
"Okay... (shyly)"
He Shuyu put down her phone, her cheeks feeling a little hot. She quickly grabbed the mirror from her bedside table, took out her makeup bag, and touched up her makeup.
If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.
"Shuyu, where are you going? You look so happy?" her roommate on the next bunk asked curiously.
He Shuyu put down the mirror, got out of bed with a blush, and said, "I'm planning to go buy some snacks at the supermarket outside."
"Shuyu, what do you want to eat? Should I help you bring something back? Song Haoning invited me to Tannan Plaza tonight." Xu Wen said with a smile, putting down her lipstick.
He Shuyu shook her head, fiddled with her hair by her ear, and said, "No need, Xu Wen, I'll buy it myself."
Xu Wen was slightly taken aback but didn't think much of it. She slung her white bag over her shoulder and said, "Then I'm leaving."
Mu Changsheng rode his electric scooter to the downstairs of He Shuyu's dormitory building, but he didn't see He Shuyu. "Hasn't she finished getting ready yet?"
Mu Changsheng didn't pick up his phone to rush He Shuyu but waited for a while.
About three minutes later, a slightly breathless voice came from behind him: "Sorry about that."
Mu Changsheng blinked in surprise as He Shuyu walked up to him.
At this moment, He Shuyu's fair face was flushed, like clouds dyed by the sunset on the horizon, spreading from her cheeks all the way to the roots of her ears.
Her lips parted slightly, and she panted, a fine sheen of sweat beading on the tip of her nose.
A few strands of hair playfully slipped from her hairline, falling to either side of her face and emitting a faint, fresh scent.
He Shuyu wore a light blue short-sleeved sports shirt, which highlighted her slender and graceful figure.
"Have you been waiting long? I was just tidying up my things and got a little delayed."
He Shuyu spoke with a hint of apology.
Mu Changsheng shook his head and smiled, "It's fine, get on."
He Shuyu looked at the electric scooter before her and shyly climbed on.
"Aren't you going to hold onto my clothes?"
Mu Changsheng suddenly turned back and asked.
He Shuyu's pretty face turned red, "Huh...?"
"The scooter goes fast, and the road is bumpy. You might fall off,"
Mu Changsheng said with a smile.
He Shuyu nervously held onto Mu Changsheng's white t-shirt.
"Let's go."
Mu Changsheng started the electric scooter and drove He Shuyu towards the east gate.
The cool breeze blew, and the earlier heat had subsided considerably. He Shuyu's mood brightened, and she couldn't help but smile as she looked at his broad back.
"By the way, why didn't you message me to hurry me down?"
"If I rushed you, wouldn't that be ungentlemanly of me?"
"Besides, would you really have me wait here all night?"
Mu Changsheng countered.
He Shuyu's face turned red at his question. She felt a little nervous but said 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 also very good."
He Shuyu pursed her lips. He's quite considerate, she thought.
If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author. Perhaps the title has been changed!
