After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Became the Female Lead's White Moonlight (GL) - Chapter 17

“Hello, takeout.”

Compared to the private hospital that only caters to specific guests, the corridors of public hospitals are always crowded.

The bustling crowd came and went in the corridor. The delivery rider hunched his shoulders, yet still couldn’t avoid bumps.

After painstakingly protecting this four-digit priced big treasure and arriving at the ward door, he strained his neck and called out with difficulty.

A plainly dressed girl walked out of the ward at the sound, taking the takeout from the rider’s hand, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

The rider finished his last delivery and was eager to rush to his new job and new boss. Just as he was leaving, he suddenly recalled his new boss’s words, “four digits,” and his feet turned, leading him back to the ward door.

Mmm, I’m just… doing after-sales service. Yes, after-sales.

I’m definitely not curious why that pile of junk is worth four digits!

He quietly poked his head out.

Hmm… ordinary millet porridge, can’t see anything different. Ordinary braised egg, you can buy two for one and a half bucks. Fried dough stick… Holy sht!

The rider’s eyes snapped open.

He saw Lu You casually stirring the ordinary-looking millet porridge, and then… a piece of matsutake mushroom was stirred up onto the surface.

A middle-aged couple sitting on a small stool next to her, eating an egg, also paused in confusion.

In the woman’s half-bitten egg, where the yolk should have been, a small cluster of caviar lay quietly nestled.

The man stared at the fried dough stick in his hand, from which a long root was sticking out, and fell into deep thought.

Snap!

The fried dough stick was torn in two. A slender ginseng root was coiled in a seductive, no, unnerving posture.

Lu You’s parents trembled as they looked at Lu You: “Xiaoyou, this, this, this… what is this?”

Lu You calmly reassured them: “A friend sent it. Please feel free to eat. I’ll transfer the money back to her later.”

“How much must this cost?” The rider accidentally blurted out his thought before he could stop it.

The moment the words left his mouth, Lu You’s gaze turned toward him. A sudden connection was made in his mind, and the rider took off running.

I’m going to die, going to die, going to die!

The boss has ruined me!

I thought it was just an ordinary meal, but who knew it contained ginseng and matsutake!

What if they want a refund now?

I already got my salary, and I already quit my job! Refund? Impossible!

The rider sprinted as if walking on wind and thunder, disappearing into the crowd after three twists and two turns.

Fortunately, the public hospital was crowded, and he ran fast, quickly leaving the frail Omega far behind. Only then did he stop to catch his breath and pull out his phone.

[200 Mission Complete]: Boss, you’re too good!

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: ???

[200 Mission Complete]: I mean, picking up girls! Secretly packing a big meal in an ordinary box. The girl unsuspectingly takes a bite, Wow! What a surprise!

Chi Huan was confused. She did do that, but how did this person know?

She quickly realized: Oh, I told him myself. I mentioned the four-digit price.

So, she lowered her guard and typed furiously.

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: Hehehe, you honor me! No skill involved, it’s all heart!

[200 Mission Complete]: Stop bragging. It’s clearly all about money!

Just as Chi Huan was about to preen a little more, the other party sent another message.

[200 Mission Complete]: You wouldn’t believe the look on that girl’s face when she bit into the matsutake. Her face was bright red, and her big eyes were full of tears. She was so adorable!

President Chi waved a dismissive hand. It’s just a bowl of 1,823.56 yuan porridge. This woman has no experience of the world. She cried just because of that? Crying while chewing matsutake, hahahaha, how embarrassing…

…

Matsutake mushroom?

Chi Huan’s movements froze in a comical pose, only her eyeballs moving slightly to focus on the latest WeChat chat log.

You wouldn’t believe the look on that girl’s face when she bit into the matsutake…

Her face was bright red…

Her big eyes were full of tears…

She was so adorable!?

?????

It’s over! Lu You must have been angered to tears again!

Chi Huan closed her eyes, profoundly experiencing what it meant to have a difficult life…

The rider was still excitedly sending her messages.

[200 Mission Complete]: Her whole family was shocked! They must be weeping with joy now!

[200 Mission Complete]: Ah, the fragrance of love!

Two wide streaks of tears flowed down Chi Huan’s cheeks: Ah, the fragrance of self-destruction!

That damn takeout restaurant! Couldn’t you just make an honest bowl of millet porridge? Why put matsutake mushrooms in it?!

Why?

Especially, if you put it in, why couldn’t you clearly state it? Is it fun to hide it?

President Chi angrily left a bad review: “This shop is so unthoughtful. They promised millet porridge but secretly put matsutake mushrooms in it! Isn’t this deceiving customers? I’m furious!!”

Less than half a minute later, her phone suddenly vibrated. Chi Huan’s heart jumped. Holy cow, Lu You is coming to settle the score!

As if the phone were burning hot, Chi Huan flinched and tossed it away.

After her frantic little heart stopped pounding like it wanted to jump out, she carefully retrieved the phone, moving stiffly as if there were landmines buried under the floor.

However, after clicking on the message thread with a look of resignation and carefully peeking at it…

Oh, it’s not my ex-girlfriend.

The message was from another anonymous buyer who had commented on her review.

Anonymous: “Ah, really? Matsutake mushrooms too? You’re not lying to me, are you?”

I’m lying to you? How could I possibly falsely accuse this trashy store? Chi Huan was so angry she poked the screen with one finger: “I swear this place absolutely put it in! If they didn’t, I’m your son!”

Anonymous: “That’s wonderful! I love matsutake mushrooms!”

Chi Huan: “?”

Anonymous: “Thanks, buddy. I’m buying ten bowls right now!”

Chi Huan: “…Get lost!”

This is completely insane.

Her phone vibrated again. Chi Huan picked it up and started furiously typing.

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: I told you to get lost!

[Lu]: ?

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: …

Oops. Chi Huan wiped her face.

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: Sorry, wrong person. Is something wrong?

[Lu]: [Photo] [Photo] [Photo]

The background was the hospital, and a corner of the bed could be seen in the photos. The center of the frame clearly showed the items she had the rider deliver.

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: [Panic.jpg] Isn’t this my dinner? I wondered where it went! Turns out I grabbed the wrong bag!

Taking advantage of the moment before Lu You could type, Chi Huan’s fingers moved explosively, almost creating afterimages on the phone keyboard.

Lu You had just managed to type ‘No,’ when the message came from the other side.

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: Never mind, never mind. Since it’s already delivered, you eat it. I’ll order another portion.

Lu You typed: I can’t. That’s too expensive. I can’t just accept…

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: Sigh, I just accidentally clicked the wrong thing earlier. I meant to order from that place on Linjiang West Street, but I ordered from the place opposite it. My precious stomach can’t digest such coarse food!

Lu You thought: …Even so, I still have to pay…

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: You eat it, you eat it. Consider it taking a curse for me. Thanks ^o^

Lu You: “… ” You won’t even let me finish typing my sentence.

[Barbecue Stall Boss Liu]: That’s it. It’s late. I need to sleep. I have to wake up early tomorrow for business. Goodnight.

[Lu]: Goodnight.

Phew—false alarm!

Chi Huan held her phone, feeling utterly smug.

See how smart your President Chi is! This little girl thinks she can escape your President Chi’s grasp? Dream on!

The System quietly reported the numbers:

【Protagonist Lu You’s Mood Level has risen to 60.】

【Calculating Host’s current Luck Value. Calculation complete. Current Luck Value: 30.】

【Excellent. I no longer have to worry about you dying an unnatural death at any moment.】

The System sighed a long breath of relief.

Chi Huan nodded profoundly: “Although our mission has achieved a certain breakthrough at this stage, we must not become arrogant and careless. We must be cautious, careful, meticulous, and strive to maintain the results while achieving higher breakthroughs!”

【Could you please retract your smile that’s stretching all the way to your ears before you say that?】

“What do you mean, stretching to my ears!” Chi Huan wiped her mouth. “This is called a faint smile. Forget it, you wouldn’t understand us CEOs. How could you know how much hidden malice and helplessness lie beneath our professional smiles?”

System: “…” I believed your nonsense.

It didn’t want to talk to this idiot anymore. Stupidity was a disease, and it was contagious. It needed to be careful.

But there were some things that had to be said.

After hesitating for a moment, the System finally opened its mouth.

【Host, did you forget something?】

Chi Huan: “What?”

Chi Huan was confused for two seconds, then her eyes snapped open: !

System: 【Mu Yi…】

Chi Huan blurted out: “I haven’t ordered dinner yet!”

System: 【…】

Chi Huan: “…”

If the System had a face, it would be utterly blank right now.

Chi Huan laughed fawningly: “You speak, you speak! I’m listening!”

【No need. You eat first.】

“What’s eating? How could it be more important than Brother System imparting knowledge and pointing the way forward? You speak, you speak!”

【You eat first.】

“No! I won’t eat! You speak!”

【I damn well don’t want to talk to you right now. Be quiet, understood?】 The usually calm System rarely cursed.

Chi Huan fell silent.

The System also noticed its lapse and cleared its throat: 【Give me a moment of silence.】

Chi Huan nodded rapidly like a pecking chick: “Mmhmm, mmhmm, mmhmm!”

After a moment, she cautiously asked:

“You wouldn’t think it’s better to go solo after your quiet time, right? If you’re going to dump me, could you settle my wages in advance, considering how carefully I’ve followed the plot recently…”

The System silently sighed.

Chi Huan grew increasingly frantic: “My demands aren’t high. 100 per day is fine. If that’s really not possible…”

“Can I just eat my dinner before I go?” Chi Huan asked humbly.

After five minutes of complete silence, Chi Huan awkwardly moved her feet and secretly probed her mind—

“Brother System! Brother System, what’s wrong? Wake up!”
