After several days of rain, the weather finally cleared up, and the warm sun outside the house made the ground dry. After waiting for several days, Ji Fei finally went out with her new identity.
Xu Ranran, with a complicated expression, accompanied Ji Fei downstairs to the dormitory and hesitated for a long time before finally saying, “Since you have made up your mind, I won’t say anything. Be careful on the way, don’t run red lights, and…”
While the takeout industry is developing rapidly, there are many examples of delivery riders getting into accidents due to speeding to save time. Xu Ranran was like a worried mother taking her child out for the first time, being meticulous in every aspect.
“I know,” Ji Fei smiled widely, “Don’t worry, I am a law-abiding citizen. I’m off!”
After saying that, she rode her electric scooter, floating out of the B University campus in a carefree manner, without any burden of being a campus celebrity, as seen in Xu Ranran’s indescribably complex gaze.
After everyone had left, Xu Ranran’s phone made a beep sound. She picked it up and saw that it was a message from her sophomore junior.
[Ni Chengyu: Senior, why haven’t I seen you and Senior Fei come to the library these days?]
Before she could reply, another message quickly came.
[Ni Chengyu: Is Senior Fei usually very busy?]
Xu Ranran thought to herself: Yes, she is quite busy. She is busy dating, while Senior Fei is busy delivering takeout.
Ji Fei drove out of the school gate, bathed in the morning breeze, and headed straight towards the main road.
After passing a row of breakfast shops, she arrived at an intersection where the traffic light happened to be red. Ji Fei stopped her eDonkey, waiting for rows of people to cross the road. When she looked at her watch, it was already half past eight.
Today is Sunday, the day for part-time rider training. For the riders to understand their responsibilities and complete each delivery perfectly, the platform has specially launched training activities in various cities.
As the time for the red light was about to pass, Ji Fei was preparing to start. Suddenly, another eDonkey came leisurely beside him. It was a tall boy driving an eDonkey, which looked unexpectedly cute.
They say it’s better to be lucky than early. When Zhou Lu came over, the red light had just ended, and the traffic started moving. As soon as his wheels touched the zebra crossing, a middle-aged woman who didn’t make it in time rushed over and pushed him aside, taking the opportunity to quickly cross the road, which caused a wave of curses from the drivers.
Because Zhou Lu couldn’t avoid it, he and his scooter flipped over and landed on the nearby eDonkey.
Ji Fei, who flipped over without doing anything: “???”
It was a miserable situation.
Ji Fei lay on the ground, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds, thinking to herself: luckily, the eDonkey isn’t too heavy. Otherwise, she would be crushed.
Zhou Lu quickly helped Ji Fei up and parked the eDonkey by the side of the road. Then he came over to help Ji Fei with his scooter, saying, “I’m sorry, are you okay?”
Feeling that the voice was familiar, Ji Fei turned her head and coincidentally met Zhou Lu’s gaze.
At this moment, both widened their eyes in surprise and exclaimed in unison, “It’s you?!”
The last time they met, Ji Fei didn’t pay much attention and only remembered that Zhou Lu had a handsome appearance. But today, upon closer inspection, she realized that he was indeed quite good-looking. His face resembled the male lead in a Korean drama that Xu Ranran had on her phone, and his single eyelid enhanced people’s first impression of him. At least in Ji Fei’s opinion, among all the good-looking guys with single eyelids she had seen, Zhou Lu ranked first.
After settling the eDonkey, Zhou Lu helped Ji Fei sit on a bench by the roadside and asked, “Is your left leg okay?”
Ji Fei was used to getting hit during boxing practice, so even her sense of pain had become dull. Besides, this little pain wasn’t much, to begin with, so she truthfully replied, “I’m fine.”
Zhou Lu asked again, “Are you sure?”
Ji Fei shook her head, “I’m alright. If you have something to do, go ahead and leave. You don’t need to worry about me. This way, we’ll be even.”
Speaking of being even, Zhou Lu suddenly remembered something and turned around to get a new bottle of safflower oil from her own eDonkey’s trunk. She said, “The bottle you gave me last time is empty already, but it worked very well. This bottle is for you.”
Ji Fei was speechless and said, “…It’s not to the point where you need to use this .”
Zhou Lu raised an eyebrow and said, “I thought you wanted to be even.”
When Ji Fei returned to the dormitory, it was dusk. In short, she worked from sunrise to sunset. Xu Ranran, who spent her days watching Korean dramas, chasing idols, and playing games, seemed particularly idle in comparison.
Ji Fei’s training today was considered successful, except for being ten minutes late at the beginning. She put a thermos box on her electric donkey, and to test its effectiveness, she also placed two packed dumplings inside.
The small wontons were taken out, still steaming hot. When the lid opened, a fragrant aroma filled the air.
Xu Ranran took a few bites and couldn’t take her eyes off the uniform Ji Fei placed on the bed. She picked it up and compared it in front of the mirror, sincerely praising, “Your uniforms are quite nice. Black and red, they make you look both fair and bossy. Truly the leader in the takeout industry!”
Ji Fei suddenly felt a sense of pride. “Of course.”
Xu Ranran noticed the bottle of safflower oil next to the uniform and couldn’t help but ask, “Did you buy a new one?”
Ji Fei stopped eating the wontons and briefly recounted the encounter with Zhou Lu again, with a complex expression on her face.
Xu Ranran listened attentively, and after she finished, she blinked her big eyes and revealed a sparkling gaze that only appeared when seeing a couple: “Could this be the legendary ‘meeting from a thousand miles away’?”
Ji Fei was speechless. “Imagining too much is a disease. And it needs to be cured.”
In this regard, Xu Zai Zai has always been very firm in her beliefs: “I bet one cent that you guys will meet each other again in the future.”
Ji Fei twitched the corner of her mouth: “Do you think this is a Korean drama?”
Quanzhou is so wast. If it wasn’t a deliberate encounter, how could they meet again?
