A classroom at Harvard Business School in Boston.

After turning down the volume, Shang Shixu brought the phone to his ear and casually fiddled with a pen in his other hand.

The girl's sweet voice reached my ears, and I paused in my pen-twirling motion.

The soft, gentle breathy sound seemed to whisper a longing in my ear.

He scoffed coldly.

This "little toad" is getting better and better at seducing people.

The alarm clock rang, and Monday arrived.

Jiang Wan reluctantly got out of bed to go to class.

While walking, I didn't forget to send a greeting message to Shang Shixu.

Nice Rabbit Squid: [Good evening, dear~]

8 AM in China, 8 PM in Boston.

Jiang Wan's greetings often went back and forth between two sides.

A reply came about ten seconds later.

Lie: [What's your phone number?]

Jiang Wan slammed on the brakes, hitting Zhou Feiyan who was walking in front of her.

"sorry!"

She quickly apologized and hurriedly typed on her phone—

Nice Rabbit Squid: [Are you going to call me? But I have to go to class soon, honey.]

The other side replied very quickly.

Lie: [Who's going to call you?]

Lie: [Courier Service]

express delivery?

Nice Rabbit Squid: [You bought me something?]

Lie: [Hmm]

Nice Rabbit Squid: [What?]

Jiang Wan's curiosity was piqued.

Lie: [My dog's leftover dog food]

Jiang Wan: "..."

Just as she was speechless, the man opposite her ran out of patience.

Lie: [Hurry up!]

Jiang Wan typed in her phone number and sent it.

Lie: [Arriving around noon]

Jiang Wan sent an "Mmm" emoji.

Seeing that the other party did not intend to tell her what it was, Jiang Wan did not ask any further questions.

She followed her roommate into the classroom, feeling somewhat excited.

This is the first time Shang Shixu has taken such initiative.

The more proactive he is, the greater his interest in her.

And he was getting closer and closer to that 500,000.

As for what kind of package he'll send, it certainly won't be dog food.

Shang Shixu wouldn't be such a boring person.

Jiang Wan suppressed her curiosity and waited quietly for noon to arrive.

In the spacious lecture hall, she and Zhou Feiyan chose to sit at the back.

With five or six minutes to go before the bell rang, the students chatted amongst themselves, clearly still caught up in the weekend holiday.

The female classmates around them were discussing that Shen Che would be coming to the school to film this Friday.

Zhou Feiyan actively joined the discussion.

Jiang Wan listened silently to their discussion, and the image of Shen Che in his youth floated into her mind.

Gentle, sunny, and full of vitality.

He achieved his initial goal and became a big star.

Jiang Wan was genuinely happy for him.

The jarring school bell silenced all the noise, and Jiang Wan focused her attention on the lesson.

The two long classes were packed with lessons, and they didn't end until noon.

A large army of students headed towards the cafeteria.

Looking at the various food windows with long queues, Jiang Wan chose hot dry noodles because they were quick to prepare.

Zhou Feiyan glanced at the menu and bought some spicy noodles from the stall next door.

The two found a corner to sit down and started eating!

Zhou Feiyan had only taken a few bites when she caught sight of a figure and immediately alerted Jiang Wan.

"Wanwan, look over there!"

"Isn't that Mu Zikun from the law school?"

"I was thinking of adding you on WeChat a few days ago, and now I'm holding a girl in my arms."

Jiang Wan bit off a piece of noodle and looked in the direction she was looking.

I saw the boy she was talking about, and the girl he was holding in his arms.

Jiang Wan didn't feel anything, looked away and continued eating.

Zhou Feiyan couldn't help but sigh, "Wanwan, thank goodness you didn't pay any attention to him back then."

"His kind of liking is so cheap."

Jiang Wan swallowed the noodles in her mouth and said calmly, "That's not how it works."

"Relationships are a private choice."

Some people prefer fast food, some prefer slow cooking, some prefer strong heat, and some simply prefer vegetarian food.

Zhou Feiyan casually asked, "So which type are you?"

Jiang Wan paused with her chopsticks, then shook her head. "Um... I don't know."

She finds it difficult to categorize herself.

Fast food is all about fleeting novelty.

Simmering over low heat reveals tender affection, while simmering over high heat ignites passion.

People who eat vegetarian food disdain or dislike any kind of vegetarianism.

Jiang Wan considers herself an ordinary person.

She is a "carnivore".

And the love she wanted could be summed up in three words—

Rely on intuition.

The conversation ended there, and the two of them quietly began to eat.

The rice in Jiang Wan's bowl was almost gone when her cell phone rang in her bag.

Local, no notes.

She realized almost instantly that it was a call from the delivery company.

After answering, the man on the other end spoke very respectfully.

"Hello Ms. Gu, we have an air parcel for you. You need to sign for it in person."

"The package is currently at the east gate of S University. Could you please tell me where it will be delivered to?"

"It's right at the east gate, I'll go get it now."

"Okay, Ms. Gu."

The East Gate is not far from the canteen where Jiang Wan works.

Seeing her get up, Zhou Feiyan, who had also finished eating, asked, "Is it a delivery? Do you need me to come with you?"

Jiang Wan didn't forget that she had to be identified as Gu Manning when she signed for the package, so she resolutely refused.

"No need, I can go by myself."

She took the bowl to the recycling area and walked out of the cafeteria.

Then he took a new mask out of his bag and put it on.

Jiang Wan has a habit of keeping a mask in her bag.

Even though the deliveryman on the other end was a stranger, I wore a mask just in case.

She walked quickly toward the East Gate and could see a small, enclosed refrigerated truck parked there in the distance.

Four men in suits and sunglasses were standing next to the car.

The expected delivery staff did not appear.

A strange feeling arose spontaneously.

Jiang Wan walked closer, slightly nervous, and said to one of them, "Hello, I'm here to pick up a package."

"Are you Ms. Gu Manning?"

"Yes."

"Please provide your mobile phone number."

"139xxxxxxxx"

After verifying that everything was correct, the man handed her a receipt.

Jiang Wan signed Gu Manning's name, and then, at the man's prompting, went to the back of the small refrigerated truck.

The strange feeling grew stronger.

The man opened the closed car door, and a bone-chilling cold blasted out.

Jiang Wan subconsciously stepped back.

In the empty freezer compartment, there was a small, square styrofoam box for storing fresh food.

It sits there all alone.

Jiang Wan's head was now filled with a row of question marks.

What the hell?

What kind of thing did Shang Shixu airfreight to her?

Boston lobster?

That styrofoam box couldn't possibly be that small.

This won't fit!

Jiang Wan began to suspect that Shang Shixu had played a prank on her.

Despite the doubts, curiosity reached its peak.

The man carefully took the box out of the box, and another man in sunglasses quickly stepped forward and put a square black tote bag without any logo on the box.

The size is just right.

After putting it on, the man handed it to Jiang Wan by the handles with both hands.

Jiang Wan accepted it, saying, "Thank you."

"Um...can I go now?"

The man nodded. "Of course."

Jiang Wan carried her things and walked into the campus.

I had just reached the dormitory building when my phone beeped.

Shang Shixu sent a message.

Lie: [Has it been signed for?]

It was past midnight in Boston.

Jiang Wan types with one hand.

Nice Rabbit Squid: [Hmm, haven't opened it yet, what exactly did you airlift?]

Lie: [See for yourself]

Nice Rabbit Squid: [Okay, I feel like you're messing with me]

Lie: [。]

The man sent a strange period.

Jiang Wan didn't reply. She threw her phone into her bag and hurried upstairs.

She couldn't wait to open the package.

Jiang Wan pushed open the dormitory door, and her three roommates were already there.

Seeing her return carrying something, everyone cast curious glances at her.

Li Zhile: "What is this?"

Zhou Feiyan replied, "It's Wanwan's delivery."

Wang Yurong picked up the conversation, looking at Jiang Wan, "What did you buy? It's wrapped up so securely?"

Jiang Wan placed the package on the table. "I don't know, a friend sent it."

As they were talking, the three people had already gathered around.

With the help of her roommate, Jiang Wan took the box out of the bag.

Zhou Feiyan took the packaging bag. "The quality of this paper bag is quite good."

Li Zhile touched it and said, "It's really good."

The box was sealed very tightly.

Jiang Wan used a courier knife to cut a circle around the seam.

She lifted the lid, and three more heads crowded around her.

Jiang Wan looked down—
