Chapter 195: The Food Delivery Army, Adding Another Member

The photo was a bit blurry because it was taken from a distance.
But it wasn’t difficult to see the people in it. Under the sunlight, a young man and woman stood side by side, the girl picking up food while the boy looked at her.
Behind them was a slightly yellow wooden door, with a sign that read “Cross-disciplinary A1 Laboratory,” and the lower right corner bore the emblem of Q University.
The scene was beautiful, the combination of handsome young man and beautiful girl was refreshing, exuding a campus flavor and the feeling of first love as if it was about to overflow from the phone screen.
If the girl in the photo wasn’t Jiang Fuyue, Zhong Ziang would definitely applaud and offer his blessings. But now…
His face turned as black as charcoal in an instant.
He hadn’t expected that, despite guarding against fire, theft, and external threats, he had forgotten that Ling Xuan had come to the capital with her for training. They were seeing each other every day. It had only been a few days, and they were happily having lunch together?
D*mn it!
Zhong Ziang: [When was this photo taken?]
The response came instantly: [This afternoon.]
Zhong Ziang was so angry his hands trembled, making it impossible to type. He immediately made a voice call.
Lin Shumo: “Hello.” His tone was calm.
Zhong Ziang: “How can you be so calm?!”
Lin Shumo frowned, “Do I need to be agitated?”
“Of course! Your future sister-in-law is about to be taken away by some wild man outside, and you’re indifferent? Lin Shumo, is there anyone like you, being a brother?”
Zhong Ziang was distressed.
Lin Shumo chuckled, “You’re the one chasing Jiang Fuyue, not me. If she’s having a meal with another guy, why should I be in a hurry?”
“You should be worried for me!”
Lin Shumo laughed sarcastically, “I actually think Ling Xuan is not bad. He’s able to lower his dignity and work hard. The key is, he and Jiang Fuyue are both from Linhuai, they know each other inside out…”
“Nonsense! Are you speaking human language?” Zhong Ziang stomped in place. “I just came back from Linhuai! It’s not like anyone who has been there has an advantage!”
Lin Shumo remained calm, “Ling Xuan delivers meals to Jiang Fuyue every day, brushing up on her feelings all the time. What about you? What can you do?”
“I also sent soup!” Zhong Ziang retorted.
“Did she accept it?” A well-aimed hit.
“…She didn’t accept mine, but she definitely wouldn’t accept Ling Xuan’s for free. There’s definitely something behind this.”
“You only sent it once, while Ling Xuan sends it every day. Leaving aside whether the food is good or not, and why Jiang Fuyue accepted, just in terms of frequency, you can’t catch up to him.”
“Humph!” Zhong Ziang sneered. “Just sending meals? Ling Xuan isn’t the only one who can do that. I’ll personally deliver food to Q University tomorrow, a thousand times better than that guy surnamed Ling!”
Lin Shumo smirked, “Make sure you deliver it to the right place. Jiang Fuyue spends most of her time in the A1 laboratory, the one in the photo, on the first floor of the laboratory building.”
After ending the call, Lin Shumo was in a great mood.
He put on his headphones and started listening to the latest analysis of the Science magazine in full English. The previously dull exposition suddenly became vivid and lively.
The next day, Zhong Ziang woke up early.
To avoid that annoying guy, Zhong Yunyi, he had been staying at the Xie family’s old mansion recently.
He would sleep until the sun was high, have lunch, play chess with his old man, then return to his room to play games until dinner was ready, when the servants would come to call him for dinner.
Such a life was as good as being a pig.
But today, he actually appeared in the living room before eight o’clock?!
When the old lady came back from her morning exercise, she was startled, “Oh, today’s special, our family’s sleeping god is up at this hour.”
“Tsk,” Zhong Ziang’s expression froze, “Can’t you stop mocking me? It’s embarrassing…”
The old lady poured him a cup of health tea and handed it to him, “Have some? It prevents bad breath.”
“…oh” Zhong Ziang took it and quickly covered his mouth with his hand while the old lady poured a second cup.
Does it smell?
No way, he just brushed his teeth…
“Stop smelling it, are you stupid?” The old lady didn’t even look up, as if she had eyes on the top of her head.
Zhong Ziang: “…”
Why was everyone in the family teasing him?
Grandpa cheated when playing chess, even when he’s been checkmated; the old lady was always joking with him early in the morning; as for Xie Dingyuan—
“Uncle! Uncle!” Zhong Ziang trotted over with a tea cup in hand.
Xie Dingyuan didn’t stop walking, his gaze straight ahead, “Speak.”
“Are you going to Q University?”
Xie Dingyuan glanced at him, “What’s the matter?”
“Hehe… I’m also going, can I catch a ride with you?”
Xie Dingyuan glanced at him, as if asking: You? Going to Q University? To take pictures and travel?
Zhong Ziang chuckled and offered the tea in his hand.
“Have a drink? Brewed by Grandma herself.” He paused for a moment, then added seriously, “It prevents bad breath, it’s good stuff.”
Xie Dingyuan glanced at him, then looked away. “I’ve had it before, don’t need it.”
Zhong Ziang: “…”
Seems like he’s being rejected.
“Uncle?”
“Not giving you a ride, go by yourself.” With that, Xie Dingyuan took long strides and left.
“?”
That dog-like uncle, not being decent again today!
At this moment, Wang Ma came out of the kitchen wearing an apron. “Young Master, the food is ready. Shall we pack it now?”
“Will it get cold if we wait until noon?”
“No, no! We’ll use insulated containers. It’ll still be warm until the evening!”
“Okay,” Zhong Ziang waved his hand, “let’s pack it now.”
“Sure thing.”
Zhong Ziang tilted his head back, finished the tea, and looked in the direction of the kitchen with a triumphant expression.
It’s as if he could already see Ling Xuan’s trash takeout being decisively rejected by Jiang Fuyue under his carefully prepared meal, while Ling Xuan himself faced embarrassment and fled.
“What are you thinking? You have a wicked smile on your face, up to no good.” The old lady approached him with a teacup, appearing out of nowhere.
Zhong Ziang took a sharp breath, “Why do you walk so quietly? You scared me…”
“This is called being light as a swallow.”
“…”
“It’s early in the morning, what do you want Wang Ma to prepare for you?”
“He he…” Zhong Ziang chuckled foolishly.
The old lady raised an eyebrow, “Little Angang, do you have something going on?”
He didn’t hide it, “I’m going to deliver lunch to my future girlfriend.”
“The one you sent soup to last time?”
“Yeah, yeah!”
The old lady frowned, “Isn’t she your girlfriend? How come she’s become your future girlfriend now? Haven’t you won her over yet? Or… did she dump you, and now you’re chasing her again?”
“Cough…” A blush flashed across Zhong Ziang’s face, “I think Uncle was right. Since the other party hasn’t agreed yet, I shouldn’t speak carelessly, lest it tarnish the girl’s reputation.”
The old lady nodded in agreement, “Your uncle is quite sensible in this regard. Men should have the responsibility of men. In the past, your friends changed girlfriends frequently, wasn’t that disrespecting the girls? Don’t follow their example.”
Zhong Ziang hurriedly waved his hand, “I won’t!”
“Good boy~” The old lady patted his head.
Zhong Ziang: “…” Oh well, let’s just act like a baby for a while.
Wang Ma prepared two insulated containers, one for the food and the other for the soup, wrapped them in oil-paper, and finally put them in a cartoon cloth bag.
Looking stylish and trendy, carrying it was definitely cool.
Zhong Ziang was extremely satisfied and gave Wang Ma a hug directly. “You’re truly a treasure girl!”
After saying that, he let go, picked up the stuff, and quickly ran out.
Wang Ma stood there laughing heartily, “What kind of girl, what kind of girl, just an old lady…”
“He’s thanking you. Packing it so nicely will definitely make the girls like it!”
“Oh my! This kid forgot to have breakfast. I just made him a sandwich…”
The old lady elegantly adjusted her hair, “Never mind, the little rascal’s heart is flying, he doesn’t care about anything else. Let’s eat.”
“Yeah!” Wang Ma nodded, “I’ll bring it up.”
Meanwhile, Zhong Ziang randomly took a car from the garage and headed straight to Q University.
He was afraid of spilling the food and soup along the way, so he drove smoothly.
So, on that day, any passing private cars could see a strange sight—
The majestic Maybach with scissor doors crawling slowly and steadily on the flat and spacious four-lane road at a speed that was completely inconsistent with its status, like a turtle.
“D*mn it! The Maybach has probably never suffered such humiliation.”
“The driver is more suitable for driving a QQ, case closed.”
“Wasting precious resources!”
“…”
Zhong Ziang was oblivious to all of this, completely immersed in the joy of seeing his beloved soon.
At ten in the morning, the Maybach arrived at Q University.
Parked in the underground parking lot.
Zhong Ziang got out of the car, carrying the cloth bag, and walked towards the laboratory.
He hummed a little tune along the way, walking briskly.
Lin Shumo said Jiang Fuyue usually eats lunch at twelve o’clock. With two extra hours now, should he arrange some other surprise?
