Mu Changsheng's phone suddenly rang while he was delivering food.

He pulled out his phone, saw that it was Qin Na, and answered.

"Miss Qin."

"Mr. Mu, we've won the case. Ruishi Hospital's vice director and Director Du are now under investigation."

"I believe it won't be long before they're behind bars sewing uniforms."

Hearing that they had won, Mu Changsheng's lips curled into a faint smile.

After all, the witnesses and evidence were all there. He could not imagine how they could have lost.

"Thank you for this, Miss Qin."

"You're too polite, Mr. Mu. We received a total of 136,000 yuan in compensation. As you instructed, I've transferred the money to Miss Lin's account."

"Thank you, Miss Qin."

After hanging up, Mu Changsheng smiled in relief. "136,000 yuan should be enough for that girl to live on for a while."

Speak of the devil—just as Qin Na finished her call, Lin Kenning called him.

Mu Changsheng answered the phone.

"Brother Changsheng, why does my... account suddenly have... 130,000 yuan in it?"

"This is compensation from those two morally bankrupt bastards."

"No, I can't take this money."

"If it weren't for you, I never would have been able to win against them..."

"How about this? Treat me to a few meals when you have time. Keep the money with you for now."

Mu Changsheng shook his head. He knew Lin Kenning's personality; even if he forced it on her, she would not accept it.

After hanging up, Mu Changsheng continued with his delivery run.

"Sir, your delivery is here."

"Miss, your delivery is here."

Value: 123 yuan. Reward multiplied. Congratulations, Host, you have received 1,230 yuan. Value: 34 yuan. Reward multiplied. Congratulations, Host, you have received 3,400 yuan. Ding! Special reward triggered. Congratulations, Host, you have received Sports All-rounder!!!

Mu Changsheng froze slightly as he delivered food. Sports All-rounder?

The moment the thought crossed his mind, a vast array of skills flooded into his head—basketball, football, badminton, table tennis, long jump, the hundred-meter dash...

"Holy crap..."

"This skill is useful...!"

The sports meet was coming up. With this skill, he could casually sign up for a couple of events, take first place, and earn more credits.

Ding!

Mu Changsheng pulled out his phone and discovered that He Shuyu had sent him a message.

"Come out and eat with me. I brought you something delicious."

Mu Changsheng touched his empty stomach. He really was a little hungry.

"Where are you?"

"I'll come find you."

"Come to the basketball court."

"Okay, I'll be there in ten minutes."

Tannan Normal University, basketball court

He Shuyu carried a lunchbox, her face glowing with a smile. "He should have just finished delivering food around now..."

"He'll definitely think I'm very considerate..."

He Shuyu bit her fingernail, her eyes filled with laughter.

Lost in thought, He Shuyu walked along on her own when she suddenly bumped into someone's shoulder, immediately grimacing in pain.

But her first reaction was still to apologize.

"Sorry, sorry...!"

"Can't you watch where you're going?"

Before the woman she had bumped into could speak, her heavily made-up friend started berating her.

He Shuyu lowered her head and said sincerely, "I didn't mean to... I'm sorry..."

The friend was about to say more when the woman who had been bumped raised her hand to stop her. "Enough, Zhou Ling."

"Oh, Xue'er, you're just too kind."

Zhou Ling crossed her arms, turned away, and complained.

"Alright, she didn't do it on purpose."

Meng Xue'er shook her head and said to He Shuyu, "It's fine."

But when He Shuyu raised her head, Meng Xue'er froze slightly. This girl was so exquisitely pretty.

"Thank you."

He Shuyu smiled.

Zhou Ling became even more displeased. This woman was far too... beautiful.

She needed makeup just to look somewhat decent, yet this woman looked this good bare-faced?

Just then, someone called out from afar, "Xue'er."

Meng Xue'er looked up and saw a man around six feet tall walking toward them. He wore a white T-shirt, his face still covered in sweat. His skin was fair, and his features were clean and handsome.

Seeing him, Meng Xue'er smiled. "Xinghang."

Wu Xinghang jogged over. He first glanced at Zhou Ling, then looked at He Shuyu in surprise. A flicker of amazement crossed his eyes. What a beautiful girl.

Meng Xue'er keenly caught the change in Wu Xinghang's expression. Her face darkened slightly, but she kept smiling. "Xinghang, are you tired from playing?"

Wu Xinghang came back to his senses and scratched his head. "Not tired, just a little hungry."

"By the way, Xue'er, is she your friend?"

"Did you bring this food for me?"

Wu Xinghang pointed at the lunchbox in He Shuyu's hands and asked narcissistically.

Meng Xue'er frowned, glanced at He Shuyu, who was about to refuse, then suddenly smiled. "Yes, she's a new friend of mine. I also made this meal for you myself."

Wu Xinghang immediately smiled. "Xue'er, you're so good to me."

Zhou Ling's lips twitched. She leaned closer and whispered, "Give the lunchbox to Xue'er. Then we'll forgive you for bumping into her today!"

He Shuyu's body stiffened as she looked at the lunchbox in her hands, hesitating.

This was food for Brother Changsheng. Everything inside was something Brother Changsheng liked...

But... she really had been careless today.

Wu Xinghang turned to He Shuyu, put on what he thought was a warm smile, and extended his hand. "Hello, my name is Wu Xinghang. I'm Xue'er's boyfriend."

He Shuyu did not really want to shake his hand. There was something wrong with the way this man looked at her.

Seeing Wu Xinghang extend his hand, Meng Xue'er's gaze turned even colder, though she maintained her smile. "Xinghang is greeting you."

"You two should get acquainted."

He Shuyu said somewhat awkwardly, "He Shuyu."

When Wu Xinghang saw that He Shuyu had not extended her hand, he awkwardly withdrew his own.

Seeing this, Meng Xue'er's expression improved somewhat. At least you know your place.

"Give me the lunchbox. Xinghang is hungry."

Meng Xue'er extended her hand with a smile.

He Shuyu immediately hesitated. Her delicate hand gripped the lunchbox tightly. Then, at that moment, a soft laugh came from nearby. "Shuyu."

He Shuyu's face instantly broke into a smile. "Brother Changsheng."

Meng Xue'er frowned. Brother Changsheng?

The three of them instinctively turned to look, only to see a tall, handsome man walking toward them.
