The whole family will deliver food in the futureLin Yuan had originally only intended to inform his mentor, after all, this brilliant plan was a suggestion from his mentor, but who knew his mentor would roll up his sleeves and look ready to jump in personally.

Lin Yuan had finally managed to jump out of one pit, so naturally, he didn’t want to create any more complications or stir up trouble for himself. His mentor had the credentials to back it up, but he was just a graduate student who hadn’t even started school yet.

After leaving his mentor’s place, Lin Yuan finally had the mental bandwidth to deal with Xia Ye’s situation. Xia Ye was feeling very upset and wanted to ask him out for dinner.

Lin Yuan could already guess that she definitely wanted to vent her grievances to him.

Xia Ye didn’t, as she had claimed, livestream the situation of Song Xiaoxiao replacing her as the Milk Tea Beauty for Lin Yuan tonight. Instead, she was plunged into the anxiety of being semi-unemployed.

In the small restaurant.

Lin Yuan calmly listened to Xia Ye’s rambling; he played the role of a listener, fully providing her with emotional support.

Although Lin Yuan felt that what Xia Ye was saying was completely devoid of any nutritional value, he could even guess the entire process of her emotional shift from last night to today.

Although Xia Ye had previously foreseen that the summer vacation was coming to an end and her income would drop sharply, Xia Ye was just like that—completely an emotional creature. As long as the impact of a problem hadn’t descended upon her, she would subconsciously downplay its severity.

But when she went to the tutoring center today and personally felt the atmosphere of business about to shrink, she really started to panic. She no longer had the heart to pay attention to Song Xiaoxiao’s affairs.

Strictly speaking, this personality of Xia Ye’s was completely a loser’s personality. In a nutshell: she wouldn’t feel cold until the cold wind blew, and she wouldn’t shed tears until she saw the coffin.

A large number of problems in her life stemmed from this personality of hers.

In Lin Yuan’s view, when choosing her major four years ago, it was likely also due to this personality that led Xia Ye to wishfully choose the Dance Department, while ignoring the most important purpose of attending university—employment.

However, Lin Yuan didn’t dislike her because of this.

Because there were just too many losers in this world.

Lin Yuan himself had also been a loser before.

If the system hadn’t given him confidence and helped him break through the mental barrier in his heart, he reckoned he would surely still be trapped in the self-doubt of ”not being able to get into a prestigious graduate school.”

When Lin Yuan was in college, had he ever carefully and genuinely planned his own future? Therefore, compared to Xia Ye, the previous Lin Yuan was just like an older brother to a younger brother. Why should the older brother mock the younger one?

Furthermore, with Xia Ye’s looks, if her personality were also perfect and her abilities outstanding, why would she even take a liking to Lin Yuan?

In her eyes, Lin Yuan was currently just a food delivery guy. Damn it, what pretty girl with a normal brain would fall for a food delivery guy?

Therefore, one cannot have one’s cake and eat it too. If you take advantage of something, you have to bear the cost of taking that advantage.

Lin Yuan could already imagine the scenes of him and Xia Ye together in the future; not only would he be marrying a wife, but he would also be gaining a 23-year-old daughter.

”Alright, alright. Don’t be sad anymore.” Lin Yuan rubbed her head and comforted her softly, ”If it really doesn’t work out, you can just come deliver food with me, right?”

If it had been Song Xiaoxiao sitting next to Lin Yuan, she would have definitely grabbed the cup on the table and doused him from head to toe. ”You’re the one delivering food, your whole family is delivering food.”

However, Xia Ye stopped sniffling, her eyes looking a bit dazed.

Although Lin Yuan hadn’t known her for long, Xia Ye’s brain was relatively simple, just like a USB drive with only 250MB of space, so Lin Yuan could read her instantly. And when Xia Ye showed this dazed expression, it meant she was thinking seriously.

Therefore, Lin Yuan was certain that Xia Ye was really thinking about his offhand, made-up suggestion.

”Is delivering food hard?” Sure enough, Xia Ye asked that soul-searching question.

”Uh, it’s not hard, as long as you can ride a small electric scooter and can read a map.”

”Really?”

Lin Yuan answered very sincerely, ”Really. It’s just that you’d better wear a mask.”

”Why? Are the hygiene requirements for delivering food that strict?” Xia Ye didn’t really like wearing a mask because it would be very stuffy.

”It’s not because of hygiene issues, but because your beauty is too high, it will affect your ability to carry out delivery work.”

”Huh? Being good-looking makes you unsuitable for delivering food?”

”Because in the minds of ordinary people, good-looking people have more suitable jobs.”

”Then I can cut a hole in the part of the mask that covers the nose.” The clever Xia Ye quickly thought of a solution and began to learn about the details of the delivery business.

”Is it just a matter of putting the things down when delivering food?”

”What if the phone call can’t get through?”

”What if the other person is like me and can’t find things?”

Lin Yuan had no choice but to mutter in his heart, ’Since I covet her beauty, I have to accept the flaws in her personality. Stay calm, stay calm...’

If Xia Ye really went to deliver food, Lin Yuan could already imagine the subsequent plot: Xia Ye would definitely be full of confidence on her first day of delivering food, shouting ”Oli-ge.” Then, half a day later, she would be crying with a long face, wailing that ”life is too hard.”

At this moment, Lin Yuan was just pretending to be coaxing his eldest daughter for fun.

”I believe you will definitely be competent at delivering food. When we have children, we will teach them how to deliver food too. This way, our whole family will be a family of veteran practitioners in the food delivery industry. We have a bright future.”

Even as naive as Xia Ye was, she could hear the joking tone in Lin Yuan’s words.

”You’re annoying,” she made a gesture to gently punch Lin Yuan, ”I’m so sad, and you’re still making fun of me.”

”Don’t worry, I said it before, I’ll deliver food to support you.”

”Then I won’t drink milk tea in the future, so it will be easier for you to support me.”

”Can you really not drink it?”

”I... can I drink it once every three days?” Xia Ye said weakly, ”Otherwise, just once a week.”

”Don’t worry,” Lin Yuan said solemnly, ”Even if I have to go to a milk tea shop to ’jungle’, I will guarantee your milk tea freedom.”

”Then I’ll go work at a milk tea shop to cover you while you ’jungle’.”

”Hey, how did you suddenly get so smart at this moment?”

”I was already very smart to begin with.”

”Hmm, yes, you are.” Lin Yuan looked at Xia Ye with loving eyes and even reached out to stroke the back of her head.

”Why are you looking at me like that, why are you petting my dog head?”

”Argh~” Xia Ye made a gesture as if she was going to bite Lin Yuan’s hand...

—— After the meal, the two of them still went to the Nine Minutes Sweet Milk Tea Shop.

To avoid being recognized, Lin Yuan and Xia Ye specifically bought two masks from a nearby pharmacy.

The entrance to the milk tea shop was crowded with people, and quite a few monsters and freaks were there livestreaming. The two of them couldn’t see any sign of Song Xiaoxiao at all.

”Don’t they... haven’t they realized that the Nine Minutes Sweet Beauty has been swapped?” Lin Yuan asked curiously.

”I don’t know, shall we go over and take a look?”

The two of them squeezed through many shoulders, and only then, through the gaps in the crowd, did they see Song Xiaoxiao’s busy figure.

”Holy sh*t,” the first time Lin Yuan saw Song Xiaoxiao, he couldn’t help but curse. ”How did she manage that?”

Rather than saying Song Xiaoxiao had changed her makeup, it would be better to say she had changed her head. No, wait, she had even changed her body.

The Song Xiaoxiao, who had a dusty, street-worn air the last time they met, was now wearing two braided pigtails, a black and white lolita dress, with a light, rosy makeup on her face, standing in front of the ordering counter looking fresh and adorable.

Lin Yuan had personally witnessed what is called plastic surgery-level makeup skills.

However, compared to the makeup skills, what was even more impressive was Song Xiaoxiao’s grasp of temperament. That ”little white lotus” vibe was nailed perfectly. Between every frown and smile, there was a hint of green amidst the white, which was the most heart-stirring.

Soon, Lin Yuan pulled Xia Ye out of the crowd.

”If I hadn’t seen her true face with my own eyes last time, I would definitely have been fooled by her this time.”

”This is also my first time seeing Xiao Xiao like this.”

”In places where you couldn’t see, she must have practiced bitterly countless times.”

”Xiao Xiao is my good friend, can you not talk about her like that?”

”I didn’t mean to belittle her,” Lin Yuan explained, ”This is a very rare ability. I’m already starting to get curious about the plot to come.”

”Alright, do you think Xiao Xiao can become popular?”

Lin Yuan looked up at the black night sky, ”This thing, it depends on fate!”
