Chapter 19: Chapter 19 The Astonished Delivery Man
Wu Wei felt it was a hundred percent so.
After all, in all these years, Sun Yi had DIY'd a total of just 46 times, which was extremely infrequent.
It seemed she only did it when she really couldn't take it anymore.
And now, just two days after his arrival, there had already been an addition.
It wasn't as if he could say otherwise.
Wu Wei felt a bit smug inside.
In just two short days, he had successfully held the hand of his crush and even caused her to burst with desire, fantasizing about DIY.
It looked like the day he would lose his virginity wasn't far off!
However, the problem was that he spent too little money!
Looking at the number 88050, Wu Wei felt somewhat troubled.
At this rate, by the time her fondness reached 90, he guessed he could at best only cash back a measly hundred thousand or two.
That would be utterly annoying!
That amount of money wouldn't even be enough to buy a bathroom in a big city!
At this moment, Wu Wei actually hoped Sun Yi was a materialistic girl; then he could spend lots of money and cash back a sizeable amount in return.
If anyone knew his thoughts, they would undoubtedly want to smack him.
This was the classic case of taking advantage and acting cute about it!
In this day and age, such girls were too rare!
"Once we define the relationship later, I should be able to spend more," he thought to himself.
If that still didn't work, even if his fondness dropped, he would have to forcefully spend money on Sun Yi.
…
The next day, Wu Wei slept in until eleven before getting up.
While freshening up, he checked his phone.
He saw that Sun Yi had sent him several WeChat messages, all sent at seven thirty in the morning.
[Good morning [grin][grin]]
[The weather is so nice today]]

The last was a sunny campus landscape photo.
The corners of Wu Wei's mouth turned up unconsciously, he saved the photo, then replied:
[Good morning]
[The photo is pretty nice, but not as pretty as you. How about a selfie? [smirk]]
Sun Yi replied immediately:
[It's past eleven, and you're still saying morning]
[No selfies, why are you suddenly so slick? [cover face]][cover face]]
Wu Wei couldn't help but laugh; most of the time when a girl says you're slick, it's not a bad thing.
Wu Wei: [You're wronging me, I just brushed my teeth, my mouth and tongue are very fresh and clean [naughty smile][naughty smile]]
Sun Yi: [And you're still saying you're not [sly smile][sly smile]]
Wu Wei: [Haha, just wait, it'll be true soon, because it's almost lunchtime [smart][smart]]
Wu Wei: [By the way, I ordered takeout for you, you don't need to order it yourself at noon]
Sun Yi: [Ah? Why are you ordering for me?]
Wu Wei: [I want you to eat well, the hospital cafeteria is so crowded and you never indulge yourself with good takeout]
Wu Wei: [I also ordered milk tea; pick one for yourself first, then share the rest with others]
Sun Yi: [How much did you order?]
Sun Yi: [Shocked.jpg]
Wu Wei: [6 cups, one for each person in your group]
…
Although Wu Wei said this to Sun Yi, he actually hadn't ordered anything yet.
So while keeping the conversation going, he opened the takeout app.
Having had lots of meat and seafood in the past two days, Wu Wei picked the most expensive Cantonese restaurant nearby and ordered some light Cantonese dishes for Sun Yi.
A few delicate dim sum dishes, along with a nourishing soup and a bowl of boat congee, simply perfect.
Wu Wei was drooling with envy, but it was a pity he couldn't partake.
No choice, that meal nearly cost 900 yuan, and it only took 9 cents for him to treat Sun Yi, but if he were to buy for himself, he would have had to fork out the full 900!
That was too much money for him to bear.
After all, he had just over 10,000 yuan on hand.
With daily expenses for the hotel and other necessities, he definitely needed to economize to make sure he lasted until the cashback.
After ordering, Wu Wei immediately placed another errand service request, tipping 200 yuan at the maximum, asking them to go buy Daming Lake's cultural and creative milk tea.
Wu Wei specifically wanted to get the cultural and creative milk tea for Sun Yi and let her share it with her colleagues for a reason.
Not only could this help improve the day-to-day relationship between Sun Yi and her colleagues, but more importantly, he could use this opportunity to let her colleagues know about his existence.
That way, he could be more involved in her daily life.
Girls are extremely curious, and if Sun Yi suddenly treated them to milk tea, especially Daming Lake's cultural and creative milk tea, they would undoubtedly be very inquisitive.
Because Daming Lake's cultural and creative milk tea is a trendy product, with scores of tourists queuing up every day to get it.
And it couldn't even be ordered through delivery services.
A lot of people couldn't get their hands on it even if they wanted to.
Yet, Sun Yi bought so much at once and even offered to share.
There must be something unusual going on.
So, they would certainly ask what was happening.
If Sun Yi told the truth that it was he who bought it, regardless of whether she referred to him as a classmate, a friend, or a potential romantic interest, it would inevitably lead to her colleagues teasing, egging on, or even envying her.
And being teased and egged on by acquaintances in such matters is actually quite a sweet and happy experience.
Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to have a good impression of that person.
Therefore, with this move, Sun Yi's favorability toward him might just take an extra step forward.
After placing the errand order, Wu Wei then ordered himself a serving of braised chicken with rice.
It had been his favorite back when he was studying at university in Weicheng.
Even though the flavor had changed over the years, in Jicheng, the heartland of braised chicken with rice, it should still be pretty good.
...
At that moment, outside a fast-food restaurant, a few delivery guys were jostling for orders at the door.
"Damn, I just nabbed an order with a 200 yuan tip!"
One of the delivery guys suddenly exclaimed excitedly.
"Damn!"
"Really?!"
"Let me see!"
The envious faces of the surrounding delivery guys crowded in to take a look.
Once they saw the order page, they all shook their heads.
"Ah, it's for buying Daming Lake's cultural and creative milk tea, no wonder the tip is so big."
"I tell you, with the queue, half an hour is the least you can expect, and if it's busy, you won't be done in under an hour."
"Plus, what if there's been a mistake and they added an extra zero, then you'd have to argue about it!"
The group of them spoke all at once, their tones laced with a fair bit of sourness.
"Even if it's an hour, it's totally worth it!"
But the delivery guy was unfazed: "And they probably didn't make a mistake."
He spoke while dialing the customer's phone number.
"Hello, I'm your errand runner. For the order you placed, I'd probably have to queue for over half an hour, so it might not be delivered as early as the time indicated. Do you think that's okay?"
"That's not okay!"
On the other end, Wu Wei, who had just ordered his braised chicken with rice, responded.
Hearing this, the delivery guy couldn't help but sigh internally, thinking he just wasn't fated to get rich.
There went his big order with a 200 yuan tip.
The few colleagues around him instantly let out schadenfreude-filled laughter.
The delivery guy was about to say: if that won't work, then we'll have to cancel the order.
At that moment, Wu Wei added, "I'll give you an extra 1,000 yuan. You buy the place at the front of the line, spend whatever you need to, and keep whatever is left as an additional tip from me."
"What?!"
Hearing this, the delivery guy couldn't believe his ears!
His eyes widened in shock, and he asked incredulously, "Boss, are you serious?"
