Chapter 27

The next day, Xu Lian installed a new takeout app. Zhang GuoEr saw Xu Lian do this and was very confused. Xu Lian didn't bother explaining. Zhang GuoEr guessed that maybe there was a promotion where new users got a discount in their first order?

But it felt strange to Zhang GuoEr. After Boss changed her takeout app, Brother Xiang didn't visit for two consecutive days. Did their honeymoon period end already? Are they now tired of each other?

She tried holding herself back several times, but in the end, she couldn't restrain her curiosity. She asked Xu Lian while they were having lunch: "Boss, have you seen Brother Xiang recently?"

As she said this, Zhang GuoEr carefully watched Xu Lian to see if she would make a sad expression. However, Xu Lian had no expression at all. Instead, she said as usual: "He's been studying."

Such a bland response.

Zhang GuoEr was a little disappointed. But then, she thought for a bit. Xiang ChangKong had a good temper. He looks like he seldom talks loudly, let alone quarrel. As for the Boss, well, she doesn't quarrel at all. After all, to fight means to have a great emotional change. She's been with her Boss for quite a while now, and the only time Zhang GuoEr saw Xu Lian show emotion was when she was with Xiang ChangKong.

Meanwhile, Ah Mao had collected some information about Xiang ChangKong for the past two days and is now reporting it to Wei YiChen.

"Brother Chen, you might not believe this, but that takeaway guy is a graduate of the University of Engineering!"

Wei YiChen had been in a bad mood because of Xu Lian and coupled with some heavy drinking last night, he had another hangover. He had still been in bed when Ah Mao called him. But when Ah Mao's voice started buzzing in his ear, he sat up, hand pressed against his temple. "University of Engineering? What city?"

"What else? City A's University of Engineering! A place I had dreamed of attending!"

"...." Wei YiChen was silent for a few seconds. He felt like he wasn't understanding Ah Mao properly. "You actually thought of taking that university's entrance exam? Did you dream about becoming the President too?"

Ah Mao: "..."

He thought that Brother Chen is still deeply hurt, but it looks like he's already half-recovered.

After a dry cough, Ah Mao continued to report: "What's more exciting is that he was admitted while being first place in the exam results. And he studied a complicated major too- Aeronautical Design. Do you know what that is?"

"..." Wei YiChen licked his lips. "Literally, it's designing airplanes."

"Wow, Brother Chen you're so smart! So its about designing airplanes!" Ah Mao had long mastered the essence of a successful younger brother. He took every opportunity given to flatter his elder brother, anytime, anywhere. "I heard that Xiang ChangKong did well in university, and even won some awards. He was also recommended to go abroad for postgraduate studies. But something happened at home and he had to give up the opportunity."

Wei YiChen listened to Ah Mao's report. Although he didn't give any response, his heart was far from being quiet. It looks like Xiang ChangKong wasn't just any ordinary delivery boy after all. If he hadn't been in love with Xu Lian, he wouldn't have noticed him at all. But now, according to Ah Mao, this seemingly typical delivery boy was actually a monk of the Shaolin Temple who had reached rock bottom.

(T/N: The Shaolin Temple is a Buddhist monastery famous for its kung fu monks. Basically, Wei YiChen is saying Xiang ChangKong is a master/top guy who fell from grace.)

"What happened to his home?"

Ah Mao: "I don't know yet. I'm still asking other former students. All I know that Xiang ChangKong graduated three years ago, yet the university still has legends about him that hadn't died out."
