Delivering Food

Lin Kenning had been unable to sleep all night. It was her first time sleeping under the same roof as a boy, and her heart kept pounding nonstop.

As for Mu Changsheng, he slept quite comfortably and didn't wake up until eleven in the morning.

Mu Changsheng rubbed his bleary eyes and checked the time. It was past eleven. "Only a little past eleven."

As a college student, Mu Changsheng felt that sleeping until eleven was perfectly normal.

Other than those cursed eight a.m. classes, of course.

Mu Changsheng got up and found that Lin Kenning had already left.

He didn't pay much attention to it. After washing up, he left the room. He had a major class that afternoon, and Mu Changsheng couldn't skip it.

There was still a difference between an easy class and a major class.

Mu Changsheng rode his little electric scooter all the way to Tannan Normal University. After plugging it in to charge, he headed for the classroom.

Xi Chunpeng had saved him a seat early on. Mu Changsheng smiled slightly and sat down beside him.

"Seriously, Old Mu, did you stay up all night delivering takeout again?"

The moment he sat down, Xi Chunpeng looked at him with concern.

Mu Changsheng chuckled. "It's fine. I'm used to it."

"What do you mean, you're used to it? Bro, do you know how many people die suddenly from staying up late these days? You're my only friend. If you die, who am I supposed to ask to be my best man when I get married?"

Xi Chunpeng said mournfully.

"Don't curse me. All right, all right. I'll treat you to a meal on Sunday."

Mu Changsheng shook his head helplessly and smiled.

Xi Chunpeng rolled his eyes at him. "Forget it. With the little money you have, you should keep it for yourself."

Mu Changsheng froze, opened his mouth, then gave a bitter smile.

There really weren't many friends like that...

"Hey, Old Mu, aren't those girls looking at you?"

Xi Chunpeng pointed at several girls in the middle of the classroom and frowned.

Mu Changsheng was taken aback, but he didn't notice anything unusual. "You're seeing things."

"No way. Absolutely not. They're definitely looking at you."

Xi Chunpeng shook his head, then sized Mu Changsheng up. Seeing him from so close, even Xi Chunpeng had to admit that Mu Changsheng was handsome!

"Come on, Old Mu. Did you go to Korea for plastic surgery last night?"

Faced with Xi Chunpeng's exaggeration, Mu Changsheng rolled his eyes. "Get lost. You're the one who got plastic surgery."

"Damn, why do I feel like you got so much more handsome overnight?"

Mu Changsheng stroked his chin. "Maybe... I played too much Marksman lane in King of Glory, so my body developed too."

"..."

"Grrr..."

Mu Changsheng's stomach suddenly rumbled. He hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch, and he couldn't help feeling starving.

He checked the time. Class was starting in a few minutes, so there wasn't enough time.

He would just go hungry for now and buy something after class.

Just then, Xi Chunpeng suddenly cried out, "Old Mu... a girl is walking toward you!"

Mu Changsheng froze and instinctively looked up. Lin Kenning was walking in his direction.

Lin Kenning seemed a little shy. She lifted the plastic bag in her hand, which contained a pink cartoon lunchbox, then placed it in front of Mu Changsheng under Xi Chunpeng's shocked gaze.

"Um... it's still warm... you... can eat it first."

Lin Kenning spoke shyly. If he hadn't been so close, he wouldn't have heard her at all.

Mu Changsheng paused and looked at the lunchbox before him. His lips moved, then he broke into a smile. "Thanks."

"Oh, there's still a seat inside. Do you want to sit here?"

Mu Changsheng patted the seat beside him and smiled.

Lin Kenning's face instantly turned red. She shook her head. "N-no need..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Kenning ran off and sat in the corner of the second row.

"Why is that invisible girl in class bringing him food?"

"Who knows? Maybe she's got a crush."

"Probably. Jiang Ruizhao said that guy's family is having a pretty hard time."

"Haha, well, birds of a feather flock together..."

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

At that moment, Mu Changsheng suddenly stood up and placed his hand on the shoulder of a guy in the row ahead. He knew this person—he was fairly close with Jiang Ruizhao. His name seemed to be Zhang Haixing.

Zhang Haixing's expression darkened. He stiffly turned around and looked at the six-foot-three Mu Changsheng. The pressure was overwhelming, and Zhang Haixing felt a little afraid.

"You were talking so enthusiastically. Why not tell me to my face, too?"

"I happen to have a seat here. Want to come sit over?"

Mu Changsheng wore a faint smile, warm as a spring breeze.

"Hm?"

When Zhang Haixing didn't answer, Mu Changsheng tightened his grip. The immense force brought a pained expression to Zhang Haixing's face.

Zhang Haixing grew even more frightened. At barely five foot three, facing Mu Changsheng and that icy gaze, he didn't have the slightest desire to resist.

"Sorry... you might have misunderstood... we weren't talking about you..."

Mu Changsheng frowned and glanced at the pale-faced guy beside him. "What about you?"

The guy felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly shook his head. "We weren't talking about you just now..."

"Oh, then that's fine. As long as it wasn't us, it's fine. You should've said so earlier. Misunderstanding, misunderstanding."

Mu Changsheng patted Zhang Haixing on the shoulder and revealed a friendly smile.

Mu Changsheng sat back down. Without another word, Zhang Haixing and the other guy switched seats. Mu Changsheng sneered. "Bunch of bullies who only pick on the weak."

Xi Chunpeng opened his mouth. "Old Mu, that was badass."

Mu Changsheng opened the lunchbox, looked at the braised pork and greens inside, and rolled his eyes at Xi Chunpeng. "Badass my ass. I'm starving to death."

Xi Chunpeng shook his head enviously. "If only I were as tall as you. Then we could beat the hell out of people together."

Mu Changsheng took a bite and said with a smile, "You can work out. You've got nothing else to do anyway. Instead of reading novels every day, buy some protein powder and hang out in the school gym."

Xi Chunpeng froze, then his eyes lit up. "That's actually a good idea."

"Wait, no. Don't try to change the subject. Tell me, what's your relationship with Lin Kenning?"

"I don't remember you being this close with her before."

"She even brought you a lunchbox?"

Faced with Xi Chunpeng's questioning, Mu Changsheng took big bites of his meal. "I just helped her with something yesterday. I didn't expect... her to bring me... a lunchbox."

"You helped her? Hey, Old Mu, then how did she know you hadn't eaten?"

Xi Chunpeng immediately felt suspicious.

Mu Changsheng's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly sat up straight. "The teacher's here. Check in on Chaoxing..."
