After Gan Lan went offline, it was already afternoon. She hadn’t expected to stream for several hours straight, and she felt quite exhausted.
Still, she and the robot packed up the food for her friends. Of course, she didn’t leave out Mrs. Yan and Professor Ye, nor the dean and the principal. It seemed like the list of people she needed to send food to was growing longer and longer.
Gan Lan deliberately turned on her Light Brain and entered the Foodie Group to notify her friends. However, seeing so many messages inside, she grew curious. She wondered what on earth they were chatting about, since there were actually over 999 unread messages.
After scrolling up for a while, she finally saw what Yan Yifei had said. It turned out he really was the one who bought out that Super V big shot, but in the end, the person didn’t accept the Credit Points and refunded them.
Then there was Wu Mingyu saying he wanted to buy a superstar to advertise for her. She thought that was a bit much.
She could privately message Yan Yifei to ask for that Super V’s address, though. She planned to send her a portion of today’s food as well. Although it wasn’t much, it was the thought that counted. Right now, having nothing to her name, she didn’t have anything valuable to repay them with.
Mingzong First Military Academy.
Yan Yifei had a commanding class this afternoon. However, he had already learned the material for the afternoon course, so it didn’t matter whether he went or not. Right now, he was sitting in his living room, eagerly waiting for the food that Gan Lan... was sending.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but turn up. Even though Gan Lan hadn’t said anything, he was absolutely certain she would send it.
In a good mood, he suddenly heard a special notification from his Light Brain. It was a message from Gan Lan.
Come and have some barbecue!: [Why did you suddenly want to buy an ad for me?]
Yan Yifei stared at this message for half a minute and chuckled. He had never cared so much about a person before. Seeing what she had gone through on the day of the competition, he had been genuinely worried. The moment he found out she had been cornered at the entrance of the arena, he had contacted his youngest uncle without a second thought.
His youngest uncle happened to be the captain of the Order Team on Banan Star. He had told his uncle that the person being cornered was his sweetheart, and if anything happened to her, he wouldn’t be able to live on!
Although his uncle highly doubted his dramatic claim, he still led his men to take away the people cornering and boycotting Gan Lan.
Yes, he wasn’t sick; she was indeed his sweetheart. He didn’t know when it started, but his feelings for her had surpassed mere friendship. He wondered why else he would be so worried about her. He was worried that encountering so many awful things would cause her to break down mentally or become depressed.
He had started keeping an eye on that Super V when she first went to the competition. The person’s character and reputation were both good, and they weren’t too showy—a perfect fit for the current Gan Lan. It wasn’t that he hadn’t considered buying a superstar to advertise for her, but that would be a bit too fake. The one he chose now had unexpectedly great results.
Feiran: [After eating so much of your delicious food, I couldn’t just do nothing.]
Feiran: [But even though I chose the person this time, I didn’t spend Credit Points. ^^]
Come and have some barbecue!: [You’ve already done so much, and I’ve made you go through a lot of trouble again. I’m fine, and I’m doing very well right now, so you don’t need to worry about me. Gulu is amazing. Thank you. ^^]
Come and have some barbecue!: [Your package is arriving soon, remember to sign for it. Do you have the Super V’s address? I want to send her a portion too.]
Seeing this, Yan Yifei smiled. He knew that with her personality, she would definitely come asking for the Super V’s address once she found out about this. Fortunately, he had actually asked for it beforehand.
Right after he sent the address over, the doorbell rang. The package had arrived.
Yan Yifei opened the door and saw that besides the delivery, there were two eyesores standing outside. The smile on his face vanished instantly. "Why are you two here again? Do you not have your own dorms?"
Yan Yifei took the package and was about to close the door when Lu Ziyu reached out to block it. "Captain, how can you be so heartless? We were afraid you’d be too lonely eating delicious food all by yourself, so we specifically came to keep you company."
"That’s right, Captain, we have good intentions! Plus, we have something important to ask you." Gao Haiyang followed him into the room, also carrying a temperature-controlled box in his hand.
Seeing that both of them were carrying temperature-controlled boxes, Yan Yifei felt a bit jealous. He wanted to see them even less now.
"Captain, did something good happen to you? We saw you smiling so happily just now. Tell us and share the joy." Gao Haiyang opened his temperature-controlled box and took out the Dreamy Drink first, looking at it admiringly again and again. "The real thing looks even more beautiful! How can our junior be so smart? Anything that falls into her hands becomes extraordinary. I really want to..."
Yan Yifei lifted his eyelids and shot Gao Haiyang a warning glare.
Gao Haiyang gave a cowardly smile, not daring to say another word, and continued taking food out of the temperature-controlled box.
"Captain, have you asked for our leave to go watch our junior’s finals yet?" Lu Ziyu unwrapped a meat zongzi and took a large bite, letting out a satisfied sigh. "It’s so delicious! There’s clearly not much meat in it, but it feels like my whole mouth is full of meat flavor. She’s a god!"
"No. What’s the rush?" Yan Yifei took a sip of the Dreamy Drink and then took out the Starry Sky Yokan. His hand paused as he pulled out another portion. There were actually two portions? Those two guys only had one.
Looking at the two beautiful portions of yokan, Yan Yifei wasn’t jealous anymore. Instead, he felt a bit of sweet delight. He hadn’t even started eating yet, but the sweetness had already reached his heart.
He also noticed a note Gan Lan had written on the second portion of yokan: [The second portion is specially to thank you for going through so much trouble. You’re the only one who gets two portions~]
Seeing this note made his mood even brighter. Even the two silly blockheads sitting in front of him looked much more pleasing to the eye.
He carefully folded the note and put it in his pocket. He deliberately placed the two portions of yokan in a conspicuous position to attract the attention of the two blockheads who were engrossed in their food.
"Captain! Why do you get two portions of yokan while we only get one? WAAAH! Our junior was still deceived by your looks! Junior! Why are you so foolish as to fall for this two-faced guy?" Gao Haiyang even stopped eating his beloved meat zongzi, staring intently at the two portions of yokan in front of Yan Yifei, pondering how to snatch one over.
"Haiyang, I support you this time. I’m obviously very handsome, my body is great, and my combat prowess is extremely strong. I’m arguably one of the top beauties in Mingzong, so how could she not have her eyes on me?" After Lu Ziyu finished speaking, he felt somewhat indignant.
"Haiyang, take a picture of my eight-pack abs! I’m going to send it to our junior! I’m going to seduce her! I want two portions of yokan too!" Lu Ziyu stood up, lifted his shirt, and kicked the chair where Gao Haiyang was sitting, secretly grieving.
Although Yan Yifei had been harboring the intention to show off, seeing that Lu Ziyu was really going to send a picture of his eye-searing eight-pack abs to Gan Lan, he couldn’t help but want to spring up and hurt him.
"Do you still want to ask for leave? If you don’t, then send it. But I have to remind you, I don’t know whether Gan Lan will block you after you send it." Yan Yifei crossed his arms and said to Lu Ziyu with utter composure.
Lu Ziyu put down his shirt with a depressed expression. His abs looked so good, why would he get blocked? But it really was possible she’d block him, and he didn’t dare take that risk.
Seeing Lu Ziyu obediently sit back down and quietly unwrap his zongzi to eat, Gao Haiyang also settled down. It was just that his expression was woeful—such a pitiful sight.
However, none of this affected Yan Yifei’s good mood. He felt secretly smug. Was there any way he couldn’t handle them?
