The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

Xu Nian took the meal and looked at the address on the takeout order.

"Shuixin Hotel..."

......

Shuixin Hotel is a hotel directly operated by the Hotel Management major under the School of Tourism Management of Yuncheng University.

In addition to supplementing teaching expenses, the operating revenue also provides valuable internship experience for hotel management students.

It's not far from Yunnan University, just across the street.

Before long, Xu Nian's electric scooter came to a steady stop in front of the hotel.

Welcome!

The receptionist stood up and greeted Xu Nian with a smile.

"May I bring some food upstairs?"

Xu Nian waved the takeout in her hand and asked her.

When I worked as a food delivery driver, most hotels prohibited food delivery workers from entering.

The takeout orders needed to be placed in a designated location on the first floor, which resulted in Xu Nian receiving numerous customer complaints.

The receptionist's gaze fell on the packaging bag in Xu Nian's hand.

It says "Xiaoxi Canteen" on it.

"Sir, you need to use the restroom, right? You can take the elevator to the second floor."

The receptionist winked at Xu Nian.

She is also a student at Yunnan University. The emergence of Xiaoxi Canteen has changed the dining pattern on campus, bringing convenience to countless students while severely punishing a wave of arrogant campus canteens.

Therefore, the vast majority of students have a good impression of the deliverymen at Xiaoxi Canteen.

"OK, thanks!"

Xu Nian naturally understood her meaning and headed straight for the elevator.

"3rd floor, 3021..."

Following the information left on the order, Xu Nian stood in front of a room.

"Hello, your takeout is here!"

He knocked on the door.

The sound of high heels could be heard from inside the room.

The door opened.

A scent of violet perfume wafted through the air.

"Is it you?"

"Is it you?"

In just a moment, Zhou Xiaoman's expression changed from surprise to a smile.

She crossed her arms, leaned against the doorframe, and smiled as she looked at the man in front of her.

What are you doing here?

Xu Nian frowned and unconsciously took two steps back.

"Of course, we've come to find Mr. Xu."

Zhou Xiaoman smiled slightly.

"I've been ordering takeout from home for a while, but Mr. Xu hasn't shown up. Xiaoman is very worried about his safety."

You're lying.

Xu Nian rolled her eyes.

"You were surprised when you first saw me, which means you didn't expect it to be me knocking on the door."

"Not bad, Mr. Xu's intelligence has grown considerably in just a few months."

Zhou Xiaoman smiled slightly and took the takeout from Xu Nian.

"So, what are you doing here?"

After learning about each other's backgrounds, Xu Nian realized that Zhou Xiaoman's keen insight and analytical skills were honed through her interactions with the mute old man who raised her, in order to communicate with him.

In that way, even if the old man doesn't use sign language, Zhou Xiaoman can accurately understand what he wants to express.

Moreover, during the years she worked as a food deliveryman for Xu Hu, Zhou Xiaoman was the customer who tipped him the most.

Therefore, Xu Nian no longer dislikes her.

Occasionally exchanging a few words can bring him some amusement.

"Xiaoman was invited to teach some calligraphy to the younger students at Yuncheng University."

"You never went to school, did you? What do you have to teach these college students?"

Xu Nian expressed disbelief.

"Sir, you jest. Mr. Xu himself only finished elementary school, yet he raised a college-educated sister, didn't he?"

Zhou Xiaoman answered calmly.

How did you know my sister got into university?

"Mr. Xu and his sister depend on each other for survival. He wouldn't abandon his sister and come to work at such a remote university like Yuncheng University, would he?"

Xu Nian gave a self-deprecating laugh.

He still couldn't hide any secrets from Zhou Xiaoman.

How long are you going to stay here?

"I was originally planning to leave right after the fan meeting today, but now..."

Zhou Xiaoman's eyes curved slightly.

"Perhaps she'll stay a little longer, after all, Xiaoman really misses the time when Mr. Xu fed her."

"Then I suggest you order from Meituan next time, otherwise I'll just throw away your order if I see it again."

Xu Nian rolled her eyes and said irritably.

"Mr. Xu, aren't you afraid that Xiaoman will complain?"

"Feel free to complain, we welcome your complaints."

After leaving those words, Xu Nian left room 3021.

LOL, the owner of Xiaoxi Cafeteria is my sister.

Even if you complain to the heavens, what can they do to me?

Zhou Xiaoman watched his retreating figure, then glanced thoughtfully at the packaging bag in her hand that read "Xiaoxi Canteen"...

......

At noon, Xu Nian did not go out to collect the food, but instead prepared lunch for her younger sister in the store.

Although the signboard of Xinian Dumplings has been taken down, the kitchen utensils in the store are still complete.

Making rice dumplings or dumplings is no problem, it's just that we don't operate openly to the public.

Preparing the filling, kneading the dough... After gaining some experience running a shop, Xu Nian's efficiency in making dumplings improved significantly.

When Xu Xi came downstairs yawning and rubbing her sleepy face, Xu Nian had already cooked several servings of dumplings.

"You're up? Xiaoxi, have you brushed your teeth and washed your face?"

"I'm done washing, brother~"

"Come and eat. When you go to school later, take these dumplings with you to Qi Yu and the others."

"Okay~"

Xu Xi reached out her little hands and hugged her brother's waist.

A good morning hug is an essential part of my daily routine.

Suddenly, Xu Xi's eyes widened, and she sniffed Xu Nian's clothes hard.

Feeling the sudden tightening around her waist, Xu Nian quickly asked.

"What's wrong, Xiaoxi?"

"You went to see that woman again."

Xu Xi's icy gaze pierced Xu Nian's face, sending chills down his spine.

No, it's one thing for Zhou Xiaoman to be able to read one's mind, but how come the younger sister can also read her mind?

"Brother, tell me the truth, her home is far from here, why do you smell like her?"

Xu Nian's lips twitched.

It's the perfume smell again.

"I picked up a food delivery from outside the school this morning, and when I delivered it there, I found out it was her."

"It seems she came to Yunnan University to participate in some kind of event, and she's been staying near the school for the past two days."

"What did you all say?"

"At once..."

Xu Nian scratched his head and recounted his conversation with Zhou Xiaoman to Xu Xi verbatim.

This was also an essential part of his routine when delivering meals to Zhou Xiaoman, after Xu Xi discovered it.

Xu Xi frowned.

"Brother, if you receive any more meals from her, have Lin Dong and Qu Heng deliver them, understand?"

"Uh... okay..."

The girl's sixth sense told Xu Xi that this woman named Zhou Xiaoman had ulterior motives towards her brother.

Damn it, why can't my brother see it?

Why not stay away from her?

I'm so angry! So angry! So angry!

Could it be that my brother likes her?

No, that's not right either. My brother has made it clear before that he will not develop feelings for Zhou Xiaoman.

That won't work! There's no wall that can't be torn down!

Xu Xi stomped her little feet angrily.

She snorted, pouted, and pointed to the water glass next to her.

Xu Nian understood, sighed, and accepted the "punishment" like a child who had done something wrong.

Well...

Today, the stream is aggressive...
