For the entire afternoon, Bai Luo Yin was in the workshop making adjustments to the new fighter aircrafts. Midway through his work, he hasn't even given himself a chance to quench his thirst. When he arrived, the sun was hanging high in the sky, formidably claiming its place. But by the time he walked out, the sky was already sheathed by darkness. After what felt like an endless day, his body seemed to have contorted into a broken plane. Even so, he had to drag his tired feet back to the research room to check on the progress of the project.

During the whole time, Bai Luo Yin's cell phone had been lying around in his dorm. When he returned and picked it up for a quick glance, he noticed that he had seven to eight missed calls.

Shit! It's already past eight o'clock, dinner should have been delivered!

Bai Luo Yin quickly rushed to the entrance and saw a familiar silhouette standing there, patiently waiting. The person turned his head around when Bai Luo Yin patted his shoulder, revealing his two very red ears that had withstood the cold weather.

"Have you waited long?" Bai Luo Yin asked with an extremely courteous tone.

The person that Gu Hai had temporarily hired to deliver these meals, was Huang Shun. When Gu Hai did not have any free time to come over, Huang Shun would take his place.

"No, I have only been here for half an hour. Gu Zong has to work overtime today, so the meal was prepared later than usual."

With that said, he opened the car door and took out the warm lunchboxes before handing them over to Bai Luo Yin.

An expression of thankfulness warmed Bai Luo Yin's face, "Thanks, and sorry for troubling you."

Huang Shun happily replied, "It's no trouble at all, this is my job."

"How about you come to my room and have a seat? We can have a chat."

"There's no need to," said Huang Shun, waving his hand to kindly decline. "I also have to go back home for dinner."

Bai Luo Yin fished out two red bills and attempted to shove them into Huang Shun's pocket. "Sorry for holding you up today."

Huang Shun hastily pushed them away, "Don't, don't, don't... this is very inappropriate! Gu Zong has already given me money..."

"You can just hold on to it!" Bai Luo Yin stubbornly shoved the bills back, then turned and walked away.

Huang Shun wanted to chase after him but it was useless. He helplessly forced the money into his pocket and drove off into the distance.

Bai Luo Yin happily carried the warm food to the research room. Just as he pushed the door open, some engineers that were standing around chatting, quickly dispersed and went back to their respective seats. Without much thought, Bai Luo Yin calmly walked back to his own seat and started to eat his meal while auditing the project's information.

This moment was Bai Luo Yin's most relaxing time of the day. Every day, before he opened the lunchbox, he was brimming with expectation. This was due to the fact that for the past two weeks, the food that Gu Hai had prepared for him, was always unique. Every day, he was able to eat something different, most of which he had never eaten nor even thought of before. He had quickly surmised that these were all new dishes that Gu Hai had mastered.

As far as Bai Luo Yin was concerned, being able to eat and work like this, was equivalent to pure entertainment.

The engineer that sat closest to Bai Luo Yin, was Gan Wei Qiang. For the past few days, this guy had been observing him very closely, and had noticed that Bai Luo Yin always ate from a lunchbox. Moreover, the aroma from that lunch box floated around the room, tugging at his nostrils and causing great envy. Simply speaking: that aroma alone was enough to make a person die from craving.
