Xi Chunpeng kept interrogating him for the entire class. After class, Mu Changsheng quickly found an excuse to slip away.
However, what was a bit awkward was that he forgot to deliver the lunchbox.
Mu Changsheng shook his head, carried the lunchbox to his electric bike, put the lunchbox inside, and prepared to start his food delivery for the day.
With the new phone, snatching orders was much faster.
"It's only a little past three in the afternoon. Not too much, not too little, I'll work for four hours first."
Mu Changsheng started the engine, grabbed an order, and drove straight to his destination.
There were many other delivery people along the way. The weather was still acceptable now, but it would be tough when the scorching summer arrived.
"Ding, a fruit platter delivered, value: 20 yuan, reward doubled, congratulations to the host for receiving 100 yuan."
"Ding, three cups of milk tea delivered, value: 18 yuan, reward doubled, congratulations to the host for receiving 180 yuan."
"Ding, a birthday cake delivered, value: 168 yuan, reward doubled, congratulations to the host for receiving 352 yuan."
"..."
The time spent working hard was short. Summer days are longer, and the night falls more slowly.
"It's seven o'clock already?"
Mu Changsheng glanced at the time, a little surprised. He used to think delivering food was torture, but now time seemed to fly by.
All afternoon, Mu Changsheng delivered many orders. He didn't pick based on price, only on distance, rejecting all the far ones.
To be precise, he earned three thousand yuan in four hours.
"Let's go eat first."
Just as Mu Changsheng was about to put away his phone, it suddenly rang. Mu Changsheng thought it was from Xi Chunpeng, but after opening the page, he found it was He Shuyu. This made Mu Changsheng pause: "He Shuyu...?"
"That... are you at school?"
"【Cute emoji】"
"I'm about to go eat, what's up?"
He Shuyu, in the girls' dormitory, was delighted to hear the reply. After adding Mu Changsheng that day, she hadn't seen him message her, and He Shuyu was a little sad.
That's why she took the initiative to find Mu Changsheng today with a nervous heart.
"Ah, you haven't eaten either?"
But seeing the message, He Shuyu was a bit at a loss for how to reply. She was completely clueless about romance.
"If I say that... then I won't be able to say anything else."
He Shuyu regretted it after sending it.
"Oh, He Shuyu, you're so clumsy."
But the next second, He Shuyu was stunned, because Mu Changsheng said:
"Do you want to come out and eat together?"
He Shuyu's face flushed. Eating together... wasn't that something only 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: "Okay."
"Alright, where are you now? I'll pick you up. I know a place nearby that has really delicious beef noodles."
"I'm in the dorm..."
"Which building is your dorm in? I'll ride my electric bike to pick you up."
"Okay... (shy)"
He Shuyu put down her phone, her cheeks feeling hot. She quickly picked up the mirror by her bed to check her reflection, then pulled out her makeup bag to touch up her makeup.
"Shuyu, where are you going? You look so happy?"
Her roommate from the bunk above asked curiously.
He Shuyu put down the mirror, her face red, and got out of bed, saying, "I'm planning to go to the supermarket outside to buy something to eat."
"Shuyu, what do you want to eat? Why don't I get it for you? Song Haoning invited me to Tiannan Plaza tonight."
Xu Wen put down her lipstick and said with a smile.
He Shuyu shook her head, running her fingers through the hair by her ears a few times: "No need, Xu Wen, I'll buy it myself."
Xu Wen was slightly surprised but didn't think much of it. She picked up her white bag and said, "Then I'll go first."
...Mu Changsheng rode his electric bike to the ground floor of He Shuyu's dormitory building, but he didn't see He Shuyu: "Has she not finished getting ready yet?"
Mu Changsheng didn't pick up his phone to rush He Shuyu, but waited for a while.
After about three minutes, a soft panting sound came from behind: "I'm sorry."
Mu Changsheng looked at He Shuyu as she walked up to him, and he was slightly stunned.
At this moment, He Shuyu's fair face was flushed crimson, like clouds in the sky dyed by the evening glow, spreading from her cheeks all the way to her earlobes.
Her red lips were slightly parted, lightly panting, and tiny beads of sweat seeped from the tip of her nose.
A few strands of hair playfully slipped from her coiffure, hanging on either side of her face, emitting a faint fragrance.
He Shuyu was wearing a light blue athletic short-sleeved shirt, highlighting her slender and graceful figure.
"Have you been waiting long? I tidied up a few things and it took a little time."
He Shuyu apologized softly.
Mu Changsheng shook his head and smiled: "It's fine, get on."
He Shuyu looked at the electric bike in front of her and shyly sat on it.
"Aren't you going to grab my clothes?"
Mu Changsheng suddenly turned his head and asked.
He Shuyu's pretty face flushed: "Ah...?"
"The bike is fast, and the road is bumpy, so it's easy to fall off."
Mu Changsheng said with a smile.
He Shuyu nervously grabbed Mu Changsheng's white T-shirt.
"Let's go."
Mu Changsheng started the electric bike and drove towards the East Gate with He Shuyu.
With the cool breeze, the previous feeling of heat dissipated considerably, and He Shuyu's mood also improved greatly. Looking at the broad back in front of her, He Shuyu couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Oh, right, why didn't you message me to rush me down?"
"If I rushed you down, wouldn't I be a bit ungentlemanly?"
"Besides, would you make me wait here all night?"
Mu Changsheng retorted.
He Shuyu's face immediately turned red from the question. She was a little nervous but said very firmly: "Certainly... not..."
"By the way, do you like noodles?"
"If not, I can take you to eat something else. The lamb soup over there is also very good."
He Shuyu pursed her lips, thinking, 'He's quite considerate, isn't he?'
