Chapter 147

What do you mean by "I told you to come back, and the weird people among your group are gone"?

Was the black sheep she was worried about actually her own son?

Then it's fine.

"... So when do you plan to come back? Do you want to come home for lunch? I'm about to go to the supermarket to buy groceries now." Wu Min asked after a brief silence, no longer in a rush to urge him.

There was actually a vegetable market near the residential complex, but the vegetable market was more suitable for going early. If it was late, it was more appropriate to go to the supermarket to buy ingredients.

"Since I finally have a chance to eat the food cooked by my old mom, I definitely have to come home to eat. How precious..." Lin Li's words were extremely flattering.

"Alright, alright, Mom knows. Hanging up."

Because she knew Lin Li's nature, Wu Min hung up the phone directly.

She didn't even let people finish speaking; how rude.

No wonder she was also rude; the culprit had been found.

"Brother Shen, let's stop here for this morning. I might have to go home first." After finishing the call, Lin Li returned to the electric scooter and said to Shen Kai.

"Not delivering anymore? Fine. How are you going back? Why don't you drive the electric scooter back?" Shen Kai, who was looking at his phone, raised his head upon hearing this.

"That would be even better, it saves me some time." Lin Li nodded.

"Brother Shen, we've added each other on WeChat. If I want to try delivering food like this again in the future, I'll contact you." To avoid running into his mom at the door of his home, which would be troublesome to explain, Lin Li had already gotten off the bike about 100 meters outside the complex and said to Shen Kai.

"You still want to pay to deliver food?" Shen Kai was stunned upon hearing this.

"Maybe. It's quite interesting, I haven't had enough yet." Lin Li nodded.

Wu Min was back. Lin Li could try to register as a rider using her identity information, but telling Shen Kai in advance to lay the groundwork could also be considered an extra way out, after all, Wu Min would probably go on a business trip again after the holidays.

If Biaomen still had any derivative quests, Shen Kai would still be useful.

"... Fine." After hesitating for a short while, Shen Kai nodded.

Shen Kai watched Lin Li walk away, his eyes very complex, filled with both the admiration of seeing a god-like person and the "heaven-defying" feeling of seeing a moron.

This kid Lin Li, was he actually sincerely passionate about the career of delivering food?

Perhaps one day, he could become the Xiling Delivery King.

He was fired up. Shen Kai felt he had been motivated. Good, then next, he would deliver fifty orders today!!

Shen Kai yawned.

It seemed he had already burned out.

Forget it, doing things shouldn't rely on a burst of passion, but should be thought over three times before acting:

1. Can I not do it?

2. Can I do it tomorrow?

3. Can I leave it to someone else to do?

So after thinking three times, Shen Kai felt that his decision to deliver fifty orders was too reckless. He had already earned nearly two hundred yuan from Lin Li today—150 plus the income from the takeout. His income expectations had been met, so it was better to go back to the rental house and sleep.

These fifty orders... he'd better not do them himself, and leave them for Lin Li to do tomorrow!

Opening the door with his key, it was rare for someone to be using the kitchen. The aroma of food permeated the roar of the range hood. You have to know that on weekdays, the only function of the kitchen was to boil water.

"I'm back." Changing into slippers, Lin Li walked to the kitchen and watched Wu Min stir-frying.

"Lin..." Wu Min turned her head to look at her son, but she was stunned before she could even finish saying his name.

Then she temporarily stopped stir-frying and looked at Lin Li with a frown.

One hand pinched Lin Li's arm, and one hand pinched the flesh on Lin Li's cheek.

Seeing Wu Min start to slap his cheeks and even wanting to pull his hair, Lin Li finally retreated helplessly: "What are you doing, Mom? Treating me like a stress-relief toy?"

"I haven't seen you for three weeks, why have you changed so much? Are you still my son?" Wu Min asked suspiciously.

Upon hearing this, Lin Li raised his head with some pride.

The physical changes brought about by spiritual energy and cultivation, plus the image charm enhancement BUFF, he indeed had a quite significant difference from before.

His classmates in class saw him every day, so they would feel that this change had traces to follow and wasn't too abrupt, but Wu Min hadn't seen Lin Li for three weeks, so she could detect the change immediately.

"I told you, Sister Min, my base as a handsome guy is very good. Getting stronger will definitely look very good. If I put on makeup, it would be absolutely stunning." Lin Li said with a smug tone.

Wu Min had long been used to hearing such inexplicable nonsense from Lin Li. Regardless, looking at Lin Li's current appearance, she was also quite happy: "Finally, I won't be accused of abusing you in the future."

As everyone knows, in the eyes of the older generation, a sturdy physique like Zhou Baowei's, which isn't considered fat, can only be called "how did you get so thin."

And the bamboo-pole physique Lin Li had before, in the eyes of the older generation, was called "Does your mom never feed you?"

These words, like "How did you grow so tall all of a sudden?" and "Do you still remember who I am?", were all essential programs for visiting relatives every year. Even the person saying these words might be the same relative; Lin Li was used to it.

"But where did you go to play just now? Why do you smell weird as soon as you come back?" Wu Min asked with a frown.

Upon hearing this, Lin Li pointed to Wu Min's side: "Mom, could it be that the food is burnt?"

Wu Min continued to cook lunch, while Lin Li, after reading the guide, registered as a rider using his mom's information.

He had her ID card and such on his phone, but registration also required a facial verification step.

"Mom! Come over here for a second." Lin Li shouted toward the kitchen.

"What for? I'm cooking, how can I come over?" Wu Min also shouted back.

"Then pause for a second."

Wu Min: "..."

Why did these words sound a bit familiar?

Feeling Wu Min's silence, Lin Li only felt refreshed all over.

Awesome!

How many times was he told to pause by Sister Min when playing games as a child?

Today he finally got his revenge, awesome!

However, because he knew that if he kept feeling awesome, he would get scolded, so before Wu Min got angry, Lin Li ran over happily, came to the kitchen, and aimed his phone at her: "Mom, help me do a facial verification."

"What is this thing?"

Just like how people will accept anything handed to them when they are on the phone, Wu Min, who was cooking, also cooperated with the phone's instructions, turning her head and nodding, before asking Lin Li.

After all, in her heart, Lin Li was still the best and most wonderful child, and he wouldn't harm her.

And after seeing the facial verification was complete, it seemed to be the Meituan interface. Wu Min widened her eyes slightly and asked suspiciously: "Mom is already cooking, what takeout are you ordering?"

"I'm not ordering takeout, Mom. This is Meituan Crowdsourcing. I'm registering you as a rider." Lin Li explained immediately.

"Oh, so it was just registering as a rider... Huh!?" Wu Min's hand stir-frying trembled, almost flipping the pan. She turned her head and glared at Lin Li: "Why are you registering me as a rider, you brat?"

"I was afraid that my dear mother would be too idle at home during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I found something for you to do, so that I can become a rich second generation sooner. I am hoping for my mother to become a phoenix."

Wu Min: "?"

Lin Li's evasion had long been maxed out. Facing Wu Min's hand-blade, he easily dodged with a sidestep.

"Delivering food, is it? Being a rich second generation, is it..."

Seeing Wu Min start to take off her apron, looking like she was about to do it for real, Lin Li then explained with a laugh: "Just kidding, Mom. I plan to use your account to deliver it myself after registering."

"Ah?" Wu Min was still a bit suspicious upon hearing this, and then she asked with concern: "Are you short of money? If it's not enough, tell Mom. What happened this month?"

"It's none of that. It's purely because I'm idle during the holiday and plan to experience the hardship of earning money. Anyway, it's definitely better than playing games at home, don't you think?"

Facing Wu Min, it wasn't suitable to use school assignments as an excuse; it would be exposed in minutes, so Lin Li explained.

Wu Min actually still had her brows furrowed, but she knew Lin Li had always had his own ideas. Plus, if Lin Li really wanted to go out and deliver food to experience life, it was indeed better than playing games at home. However, she still persuaded him:

"Actually, the most important thing for you at this stage is..."

"Please watch the VCR." Having anticipated this, Lin Li directly took out his phone and showed the study video he recorded yesterday to Wu Min.

"..."

Wu Min looked at Lin Li again.

A bit unfamiliar. Is this definitely her son?

"Lin Li's Mom: Teacher, sorry to bother you. I want to ask, has Lin Li caused any trouble recently?"

When Xue Jian finally slept in during the holiday and saw this message, he felt a bit helpless, but also a bit relieved.

Damn it, I knew it.
