He Shuyu Also Delivers Food

Mu Changsheng brought He Shuyu to a noodle shop called "King of Beef Noodles." The establishment was quite clean and, by Mu Changsheng's standards, rather upscale.

Mu Changsheng led He Shuyu to a corner by the window and they sat down.

As soon as Mu Changsheng and He Shuyu were seated, a server wearing a mask approached them. The server appeared to be a young student.

The server came up to Mu Changsheng, presented the menu, and asked enthusiastically with a smile, "Sir, what kind of noodles would you like?"

Seeing the server staring at him, Mu Changsheng thought to himself, Is my face really that handsome?

Mu Changsheng didn't overthink it. "Two bowls of beef noodles, please. Add cilantro and chopped scallions to both."

Mu Changsheng looked at He Shuyu and asked, "Do you eat scallions and cilantro?"

He Shuyu nodded. "I eat both."

"Okay, do you two have a membership? The member price is 23 per bowl; without a membership, it's 26."

The server asked softly.

"No membership. Just scan the code."

Mu Changsheng took out his phone, but He Shuyu said a bit sheepishly, "Let me pay for mine. This bowl of noodles is quite expensive..."

Mu Changsheng chuckled. "You helped me out a lot the other day. It's just a meal, I'm treating you."

Mu Changsheng unhesitatingly paid 68.

"Please wait a moment."

"Oh, right. And two Strawberry Fresh Teas, with ice, please. Thank you. I've paid for them too."

Mu Changsheng put his phone down. He Shuyu looked at the price of the Strawberry Fresh Tea and felt even more embarrassed. "This meal already cost you 68."

"My phone cost a lot more than 68."

He Shuyu's good impression of Mu Changsheng grew a little more upon hearing this.

The Strawberry Fresh Teas were brought over quickly.

"Try it."

Mu Changsheng took a sip. It was strawberry-flavored, sweet and sour, and cool.

"This is delicious."

He Shuyu's eyes lit up, and she took another sip.

"I was worried you might not like strawberry flavor."

Mu Changsheng, having worked all day, was already quite thirsty and kept drinking the beverage.

"How could I not? Strawberries are my favorite."

He Shuyu shook her head, affirming.

"Did you spend all afternoon delivering food today?"

He Shuyu propped her chin on her hand, asking curiously.

Mu Changsheng nodded. "Yeah, my classes are light, and I don't have anything else to do."

"Oh, so are you going to deliver food after you eat?"

He Shuyu asked after a moment's hesitation.

"Yes."

"So, what time do you usually finish delivering at night?"

"Sometimes I deliver all night, sometimes I finish around 10:30 PM," Mu Changsheng replied truthfully after thinking for a moment.

"Ah? That's so tough."

He Shuyu thought about delivering all night and how difficult that must be.

"But what can I do? My family's situation is what it is. If I don't work hard, I probably won't be able to find a wife in the future."

Mu Changsheng gave a wry smile.

He Shuyu shook her head. "I don't think you'll have trouble finding a wife."

Mu Changsheng was taken aback. He Shuyu continued, "When you were ordering just now, that waitress kept staring at you."

Mu Changsheng awkwardly touched his nose. "Maybe it was because I was talking."

He Shuyu disagreed. "No, if I wasn't sitting across from you, she probably would have asked for your contact information."

"That's a woman's intuition."

Mu Changsheng was surprised. Just as he was wondering how to respond, the noodles were served.

"Your noodles are ready."

"Let's eat."

Mu Changsheng placed the noodles in front of He Shuyu.

"Thank you."

He Shuyu took her chopsticks and smiled slightly at Mu Changsheng.

Mu Changsheng took the chopsticks He Shuyu handed him, then looked at the steaming beef noodles. There were five pieces of beef, each about the size of a thumbnail, on top.

"Try it, this beef noodle soup is really good, especially the sauce, it's very fragrant, and the meat is very chewy."

He Shuyu nodded and took a bite of the beef. It was soft and tender. "It's so delicious."

Mu Changsheng was starving and ate the beef noodles in big mouthfuls.

Seeing Mu Changsheng eat so quickly, He Shuyu's eyes flickered. He... must be very hungry after delivering food all day.

He Shuyu looked at the beef in her bowl and, on impulse, picked up a piece and put it into Mu Changsheng's bowl.

Mu Changsheng was taken aback and looked up at He Shuyu.

He Shuyu's face immediately turned red. She glanced away, looking out the window. "Um... eating too much meat makes you fat, I... can't eat too much."

Mu Changsheng knew that beef didn't actually make you gain weight if you ate too much, but he didn't expose her. He smiled helplessly, "Thank you."

He Shuyu was also a little hungry and sped up her eating, not bothering to be reserved about her table manners.

In less than eight minutes, Mu Changsheng finished his bowl.

Although the bowl was large, the amount of noodles was really too small.

He Shuyu had also finished most of her meal. She wiped her mouth with a tissue and smiled, "I'm full too."

"Let's go."

Mu Changsheng stood up. He Shuyu, carrying the Strawberry Fresh Tea, followed him out.

Mu Changsheng looked at He Shuyu and asked, "Are you going back to your dorm later?"

He Shuyu lowered her head, looking at her toes. Her inner voice told her she didn't want to go back.

"Um... can I deliver food with you?"

He Shuyu looked up, her big, watery eyes blinking.

Mu Changsheng was stunned. He looked at the electric scooter beside them, his lips twitching.

He Shuyu thought Mu Changsheng was unwilling and quickly said in a small voice, "I've never delivered before, but I won't be a burden. I can help you carry the food..."

As she spoke, He Shuyu's voice grew softer.

Mu Changsheng touched his nose. "Um... delivering food is very tiring, are you sure?"

"Yes!"

Seeing that Mu Changsheng didn't seem to refuse, He Shuyu nodded heavily.

Mu Changsheng looked at the gentle girl in front of him and smiled warmly, "Okay, then I can't let you work for nothing. We'll split tonight's earnings equally."

He Shuyu was slightly taken aback and quickly waved her hands. "No, no need..."

"With me on the scooter, it'll run much slower and delay your delivery speed..."

"Besides, I'm just bored and want to try it."

Mu Changsheng hesitated. It was almost eight o'clock now. If he didn't use the system, he usually delivered until ten-thirty. That's only a little over two hours, and he probably wouldn't even earn 100 yuan.

Moreover, looking at He Shuyu's family background, she didn't seem to be lacking tens of yuan.

"...Okay."
