Finally Replied

After Mu Changsheng left the education building, he let out a sigh of relief.

Mu Changsheng took out his phone and saw a message from Jiang Ruizhao.

"Brother Mu, you're incredible. You're practically my real dad. I've got her under control now!"

"Happy (emoji)!"

"Brother Mu, what's the next step?"

Mu Changsheng rubbed his chin. Since Guo Xiaolan was already under control, it really was time to begin the next step.

Mu Changsheng found Ma Qiao's contact window and opened it, only to find a huge pile of messages. It instantly gave him a headache.

"Doesn't she get tired of sending so many messages?"

Mu Changsheng was a little baffled.

He then picked one of her questions and replied.

"She's not my girlfriend. I'm single right now."

Mu Changsheng had thought he would have to wait a while, but Ma Qiao replied instantly.

"Single!"

"Surprised (emoji)"

"I got a huge surprise today."

"Hehe (emoji)"

"Brother, do you want to know what the surprise is?"

"..."

Seeing the mountain of messages that had appeared in such a short time, Mu Changsheng thought that the woman Liu Tianhao had found was really something else.

So who exactly was the simp here?

"Brother, have you eaten? I found a place with especially delicious food today. Want to meet up tonight?"

Mu Changsheng rubbed his stomach and smiled. "Sure."

Meanwhile, in the dormitory—

Ma Qiao sat upright in surprise. "Hah, acting all cold and aloof. Under my assault, won't you still have to fall at my feet?"

Since Ma Qiao put on makeup every day, she saved quite a bit of time.

After changing into a pretty outfit, she headed out.

"Brother, where are you? I'm ready and downstairs at the dormitory building."

After saying that, Ma Qiao took a photo and sent it over.

"The east gate. Come find me."

Mu Changsheng typed back.

He really couldn't appreciate Ma Qiao's photos alone.

Ma Qiao froze. He actually wasn't coming to pick her up...

Still pretending?

I'd like to see how long you can keep that up!

Ma Qiao quickly arrived at the east gate, but she did not see Mu Changsheng anywhere.

Ma Qiao was confused. "Brother... where are you? I'm already at the east gate."

"Sorry, I forgot something in the dormitory and need to go back for it. Can you wait for me at the entrance?"

When Ma Qiao saw the message, her face immediately darkened.

Ma Qiao gritted her teeth. Endure it. She had to endure it.

"Okay, Brother. Hurry back. It's a little cold tonight..."

At the same time, inside the ethnic restaurant at Tannan Normal University—

He Shuyu looked at Mu Changsheng and asked curiously, "Who are you messaging?"

Mu Changsheng picked up some liangpi and smiled. "A stranger."

He Shuyu was even more confused. "Huh? A stranger?"

"This liangpi is pretty tasty. How did I never notice it before?"

Mu Changsheng changed the subject and looked at He Shuyu in surprise.

He Shuyu smiled proudly. "It just opened. I only discovered it the day before yesterday."

"Good, right?"

Mu Changsheng nodded. "It's good."

"Don't eat too much. If your stomach is sensitive, liangpi can upset it. Have some yogurt."

He Shuyu carefully took out a cup of yogurt from her pocket and handed it to Mu Changsheng.

Mu Changsheng paused slightly. Looking at the yogurt in front of him, he smiled. "Thanks."

He Shuyu pursed her lips. "I just didn't know what flavor you liked... so I bought strawberry."

"As long as you bought it, I'll like it."

Mu Changsheng smiled, instantly making He Shuyu blush bright red.

Meanwhile, Ma Qiao was getting numb from waiting.

"It's almost been an hour. Why isn't he here yet?!"

"He isn't even replying to my messages?!"

Ma Qiao clutched her stomach. She had skipped breakfast and only eaten a few bites at noon. She was practically starving herself flat.

"Hello."

Just then, Mu Changsheng walked over.

Ma Qiao froze slightly. Seeing Mu Changsheng behind her, she still thought he was so handsome up close...

Ma Qiao looked at Mu Changsheng resentfully. "You're so slow, Brother."

Her soft, syrupy tone made Mu Changsheng's mouth twitch. This woman was laying it on way too thick.

But... Mu Changsheng really did not like that sort of cutesy act.

It gave him goosebumps.

"There was suddenly a dorm inspection, so I got delayed a little."

"My name is Mu Changsheng. Nice to meet you."

Mu Changsheng smiled.

Ma Qiao did not want to pursue the matter either, since she needed to show that she was magnanimous.

"Brother Changsheng, this isn't our first time meeting."

Ma Qiao looked at Mu Changsheng with a resentful expression.

"I've always seen you before... it's just a pity you never saw me."

Ma Qiao said, pretending to be aggrieved.

Mu Changsheng narrowed his eyes. "Oh, really?"

Ma Qiao snorted. "Would I lie to you?"

"It's almost eight. Let's go eat first."

Mu Changsheng said with a chuckle.

Ma Qiao nodded. "Okay, I'll lead the way."

"The fried noodles there are especially delicious."

"Ah, fried noodles? I don't really like noodles."

Mu Changsheng frowned.

Ma Qiao froze. "Then what do you want to eat, Brother Changsheng?"

Mu Changsheng rubbed his chin. "I don't know either."

Ma Qiao was taken aback inwardly. This man was really picky.

"Oh, that place has everything. Let's go take a look first."

"Sure."

Very soon, Ma Qiao brought Mu Changsheng to a fairly nice restaurant.

Ma Qiao deliberately found a table meant for only two people, then sat intimately beside Mu Changsheng.

Ma Qiao handed the menu to Mu Changsheng. "Brother Changsheng, take a look and see what you want."

Mu Changsheng glanced over the menu. "One serving of the signature dish, stir-fried pork with green peppers, and one bowl of rice. Is that okay?"

Ma Qiao froze, then hesitated briefly. "Since Brother Changsheng is having rice, I'll have rice too. Let's get a vegetable dish as well."

"Brother Changsheng, are you very hungry?"

Ma Qiao stared at Mu Changsheng without even blinking.

"I've been delivering food all day, after all."

Mu Changsheng shrugged helplessly.

"Ah, delivering food? Brother Changsheng, you work so hard. There are really too few guys as motivated as you nowadays."

Ma Qiao praised him nonstop, nearly making Mu Changsheng laugh.

Was this what they called contrast?

"Because I'm broke."

Ma Qiao said with a serious expression, "You can earn money if you don't have any. Brother Changsheng works so hard; you'll definitely be very rich in the future."

Looking at Ma Qiao's innocent face, Mu Changsheng's Adam's apple bobbed. No... her acting was pretty good.
