    Chapter 18 Food Delivery Cheng Cheng has cooked dinner, and the food on the table is already hot…

    Cheng Cheng cooked dinner and the food on the table had been heated three times. At nine o’clock, Wei Zhi still didn’t come back.

    The warm yellow light wrapped in the aroma of food filled the empty room. His fingertips repeatedly rubbed the edge of the phone case. Most of Wei Zhi’s numbers on the screen had been entered. His thumb was hovering above the dial button, but he still didn’t press the dial button.

    He was afraid of the noisy conference sound on the other end of the phone, and even more afraid of disturbing something important. He could only stare at the cold dishes, turning his anxiety into silent waiting.

    At half past nine, Cheng Cheng finally waited for a hurried call from Secretary He, telling him that the company had encountered something difficult and Wei Zhi would probably sleep in the company tonight.

    Cheng Cheng had a bad feeling in his heart. Wei Zhi always acted calmly and nonchalantly in everything he did. When he came to a big problem, he just said “it can be solved” while holding a cup of coffee.

    To be called “tricky” by him must be a big deal.

    Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Cheng Cheng couldn’t help but ask: “Secretary He, Brother Wei, has he had dinner? The place to sleep at night is inconvenient. If there is anything you need to buy, I will send it to you.”

    Probably all the employees of the “Mutian” project team will have to work overtime tonight. Secretary He stood in the corridor talking on the phone and glanced at Wei Zhi who was working at his desk through the crack in the door. He thought to himself, the bed in the office is hard and uncomfortable. The boss will probably have to work all night tonight, and he has not eaten much all day.

    Secretary He thought for a while: “Xiao Cheng, could you please bring the boss’s change of clothes? Also, the boss has hardly eaten anything today, so please make some convenient simple meals and bring them.”

    “Okay! I’ll make more, and your colleagues who work overtime will also take care of themselves! You can send me your company address later!” Cheng Cheng agreed, hung up the phone and rushed to the kitchen.

    He quickly cut the ham and lettuce in the refrigerator into slices, spread the bread slices with salad dressing, and stacked them into bulging sandwiches.After filling two large bags, he fried a few new dishes of Wei Zhi’s favorite dishes, filled them with rice and soup, and even wiped the thermos bucket carefully twice before picking it up.

    Secretary He hung up the phone, returned to the office, and began to sort out the letters sent from all directions, sorting them out before showing them to Wei Zhi.

    Wei Zhi was originally reading the contract with his eyebrows pinched. When he heard the footsteps, he raised his eyes and looked over. His eyes were calm as usual, but there was a trace of imperceptible oppression: “Xiao He, why have you been here for so long? Did you bring the words?”

    Secretary He complained secretly and said bravely: “Sir, I explained the situation to him. Xiao Cheng insists on coming to deliver food to you. I can’t stop him.”

    When Wei Zhi heard the words, a soft hum escaped from his throat, but the corners of his mouth slightly curved, and a smile appeared in his eyes. His fingertips tapped on the contract, and his tone was a little indulgent: “Let it go.”

    Although it was late at night, this was the first time Cheng Cheng went to Wei Zhi’s company. He deliberately changed out of the T-shirt and jeans he had worn all day and put on a sweatshirt and casual pants.

    Secretary He had already said hello, and Cheng Cheng successfully climbed up to the upper level carrying a lunch box and a bag of sandwiches and found Wei Zhi’s office.

    The young lady at the front desk guided him diligently and with a smile. It was completely dark outside, and only the street lights with dim yellow lights connected the city. However, the high-rise buildings were still brightly lit, and the scattered windows on each floor were as bright as stars, becoming the brightest light in the city.

    Cheng Cheng walked forward in silence. He realized the huge gap between himself and Wei Zhi. The thermos bucket in his hand was incompatible with this place.

    Wei Zhi has a successful career and is shining with gold. Even if he loses his legs, he still lives the way countless men imagined. As long as he gives orders, countless young talents will follow him.

    He envied Wei Zhi’s success, envied Wei Zhi’s clear goals, and envied Wei Zhi’s infinite energy and courage to execute.

    “That’s it. Take a rest for a while. Secretary He will be here soon.” The lady at the front desk poured a glass of water for Cheng Cheng and motioned for him to sit on the sofa in the waiting room.

    Cheng Cheng was nervous and embarrassed. He could neither sit nor stand with a large bag in his hand.

    The reception room was reserved for distinguished guests. The crystal lamp in the reception room made him dizzy. The vase on the coffee table was filled with fresh roses. Even the cushions were embroidered with exquisite patterns. How could he be embarrassed to sit down.

    Cheng Cheng raised his hand, blushed and said to the front desk: “You don’t have to go to Secretary He. I’m just Mr. Wei’s nanny. I’m here to deliver things. Here are the sandwiches. Thank you, Secretary He, for sharing with your colleagues. They are freshly made by me and are still warm. There are also these lunch boxes, which are stir-fried vegetables and steamed rice that I gave Mr. Wei. He has a bad stomach. Please keep an eye on Secretary He. It’s best to let him eat two-thirds.”

    Just as the lady at the front desk was about to say something, she saw the door to the guest room behind Cheng Cheng opening, and it was Secretary He pushing Wei Zhi.

    She bowed to Cheng Cheng, quickly said that she still had work, and asked him to hand over the things to Secretary He.

    Cheng Cheng watched her “escape” in confusion, so he could only put down his things, sit down, and drink the water in one breath.

    When he raised his head, he caught a glimpse of Wei Zhi, who was pale but still smiling. His eyes lit up and his body seemed to be wrapped in a layer of warmth. He hurriedly put down the water glass and ran up to take the wheelchair pushed by Secretary He: “Brother Wei!”

    Seeing Cheng Cheng, Wei Zhi felt that all the muscles in his body seemed to relax in an instant, and the nerves hanging from the coffee were beating and aching.

    “Go to the office.”

    “Are you finished working? Let’s go home and sleep. The bed here is definitely not as comfortable as at home.” Cheng Cheng pushed the wheelchair and looked down at Wei Zhi’s left hand shrunk in his sleeve.

    Wei Zhi shook his head and stretched his right hand back, just in time to touch the back of Cheng Cheng’s hand and patted it reassuringly: “I’m fine, Xiao Cheng. The bed in the office is quite comfortable. It’s not like I haven’t slept before.”

    Entering the office, Cheng Cheng laid out the meals one by one, and the aroma of corn ribs soup spread.

    He turned to look at Secretary He and noticed the work badge on Secretary He’s chest – “He Rui”. These two words were printed on it, which matched his gentle and elegant temperament.

    “Secretary He, please share these sandwiches with your colleagues. There are about twenty of them, and they are all fresh.”

    He Rui took the bag in surprise and weighed it. He didn’t expect Cheng Cheng to do so much. He smiled and said, “Mr. Cheng, thank you for your trouble.”

    After saying that, he happily left the office with a big bag of sandwiches in his arms.

    Cheng Cheng looked back at Wei Zhi who was chewing his rice slowly, pushed the corn ribs soup in front of him, and said in a softer voice: “Drink some, I stewed it for three hours, thinking you would come back for dinner.”

    Wei Zhi stopped his chopsticks and looked at Cheng Cheng seriously: “Sorry, I will report to you earlier next time.”

    The light fell on the top of Wei Zhi’s hair, giving him a soft light, and even his eyelashes cast small fan-like shadows under his eyes.

    Cheng Cheng’s cheeks were a little red and he rubbed his nose: “What kind of report is this? Just tell me. I’ll be more relaxed if I don’t cook dinner.”

    The word “report” is not suitable for them. How can any boss report to his subordinates?

    Wei Zhi took a sip of the soup and admired Cheng Cheng’s expression while chewing the ribs, feeling very relaxed.

    After Wei Zhi ate his meal, his pale lips regained their rosy color. When they touched the ribs, there was an indescribable sense of beauty. People with good-looking faces would look good even when they gnaw on the ribs.

    Cheng Cheng couldn’t help but think that his lips were kissed by such full and rosy lips last night, and his cheeks turned red instantly. He touched his hot cheek and turned his head unnaturally: “Eat quickly, don’t you have a lot of work? Try to finish it as early as possible and go to bed early.”

    Wei Zhi finished chewing the last piece of ribs and wiped his mouth slowly: “The difficulty is a bit high, I guess it won’t be solved early.”

    “Ah,” Cheng Cheng widened his eyes and asked, “How difficult is it?”

    Wei Zhi tapped his fingertips on the table and thought for a moment: “It’s probably… as difficult as asking you to make a thousand sandwiches in one night.”

    “A thousand?” Cheng Cheng’s eyes widened in shock, “Then what if we can’t finish it in one night?”

    Wei Zhi spread his hands helplessly: “Then all the money you spent on buying the raw materials for these sandwiches will be lost. Not only will you have no chance to make any profit, but your principal will also be lost.”

    Cheng Cheng became even more worried, thinking about Wei Zhi going bankrupt after paying his last salary, his company being acquired by others, and him living on the streets in a wheelchair, unable to even drink a cup of hot coffee.

    But now that Wei Zhi and he had kissed each other, and he was so kind to him and paid so much, he would never abandon Wei Zhi no matter what!

    Cheng Cheng looked at Wei Zhi firmly: “Don’t feel too bad. It won’t be a problem even if you lose your principal. I still have some money saved and can lend it to you to make a comeback.”

    Wei Zhi’s expression was complicated, and the look he looked at seemed a bit unfamiliar. After a pause, Wei Zhi raised his hand and touched his head: “Then it’s agreed, you have to lend me all the money.”

    Cheng Cheng nodded vigorously: “Don’t worry, Brother Wei, I eat and drink from you now, and I have saved all the wages you paid me before. Every penny is worth.”

    Before leaving, Cheng Cheng couldn’t help but quietly asked Secretary He, what happened?

    Secretary He walked him to the door and sighed: “It’s just that our top management has been placed by a competitor. It is expected to disrupt one of our big projects. But fortunately, Mr. He was careful before and it will not harm other projects.”

    A senior executive with so many projects in his hands must be trusted by Wei Zhi. Cheng Cheng didn’t understand why he didn’t follow Wei Zhi, a kind-hearted boss, to do these little things.

    Cheng Cheng sat in the taxi on the way back and quietly placed himself in Wei Zhi’s seat. He thought of Wei Zhi’s pale face tonight and felt panicked. Being stabbed by the person he trusted the most, Brother Wei must have felt more uncomfortable than anyone else.

    The next day, Cheng Cheng woke up just after six o’clock. The first thing he did when he got up was to go to the second floor to see if Wei Zhi was back.

    On the third day, the door to the second floor was closed. He knocked lightly, but received no response, and felt a void in his heart.

    He didn’t make anything complicated for breakfast. He simply boiled two eggs, steamed three steamed buns, made a light pumpkin porridge, filled a thermos cup with the coffee Wei Zhi was accustomed to drinking, and rushed down the elevator while sending a message to Secretary He.

    Cheng Cheng first saw the message from Secretary He, which was at 4:36 in the morning, saying that Wei Zhi had just gone to bed.

    Cheng Cheng wanted to ask Wei Zhi if he went to the toilet before going to bed, if he moved his stiff body a little, if there was a changing pad on the bed… Forget it, Wei Zhi would definitely not tell Secretary He about these private issues.

    The girl at the front desk had already replaced him, but apparently she handed him over during shift change and let him go directly to the 26th floor.

    He Rui had already slept on the sofa in the lounge and was still very sleepy. He pointed to Cheng Cheng the room where Wei Zhi slept, and the door was closed tightly: “Xiao Cheng, I really can’t stand it anymore. I have already asked the boss for permission. Go home and have a sleep first. You can wait for him in the boss’s office or reception room. I’ll leave first.”

    Cheng Cheng looked at He Rui’s yawning appearance and patted him on the shoulder: “Don’t worry.”

    He Rui nodded and whispered to Cheng Cheng: “The boss had a hard time last night. Although we finished work and went to bed together after four o’clock, I don’t know if he really took a rest. Please persuade him.”

    Cheng Xiang nodded heavily like a soldier who was in danger: “I will definitely let him rest more!”

    He Rui smiled and said: “Yes, it’s good. He’s very energetic. He’s a good employee of the boss. Please tell him more. Alas, our company is actually not bad at this, but it’s just a bit too much and it hurts…”

    “What? Not lacking?” Cheng Cheng frowned.

    Obviously yesterday he promised Wei Zhi to help him make a comeback… But Wei Zhi didn’t seem to have mentioned the impact of the loss of principal on his company. He foolishly thought that this was all Brother Wei’s net worth!

    The bits and pieces I have are simply not enough for others to fill their teeth!

    That little deposit was like a drop of water in the ocean in front of Wei Zhi’s company.

    Cheng Cheng’s breath was stuck in his throat, he was angry and laughing, and Brother Wei was making fun of him again.

    “The Years of Being an Omega for Your Rival”

    Also known as “Traveling to the abo world with an old enemy”

    The Flower Attack of the High Mountain × The Tsundere Suffering

    Xiang Yunjia’s family owns a sock factory and has nouveau riche parents.

    I have short, slightly curly chestnut brown hair, a slender and straight figure, and a warm smile like the spring breeze. I am a well-deserved leader in the design department of A University.

    But this student has a secret crush on the cold goddess from the School of Mathematics and Physics, who also has a secret crush on Xue Zhixing, the student from the A University School of Mathematics.

    Xiang Yunjia began to secretly compete with Xue Zhixing. He would also get in the taxi that Xue Zhixing took; he would snatch the books that Xue Zhixing borrowed from the library… He would always create obstacles for Xue Zhixing in his life.

    Xue Zhixing was also fed up with this rustic and stupid upstart who was hovering around him like flies all day long, and wished that he would disappear from this world immediately.

    One day, his wish came true.

    However, the two of them disappeared from this world together.

    Xiang Yunjia and Xue Zhixing traveled to the interstellar era where resources were scarce, where people also differentiated into strange Alpha, Beta and Omega.

    Looking at the identities of the two people on the registration terminal, a rare crack appeared on Xue Zhixing’s expressionless face.

    But fortunately, he is an Alpha and cannot have children.

    Xiang Yunjia was not so lucky. He could not accept it no matter what. He, a straight man who loved looking at beautiful women, turned into an Omega who could give birth to babies!

    His husband is still…Xue Zhixing!

    Soon, the two of them looked at the dilapidated house with bare walls and could not say anything.

    Only by building a mecha can it be possible to travel from the most remote desert star to the main city of Riald Star…

    Just close your eyes and do it…

    Later, life got better and they lived in a big house and had a new identity.

    But Xiang Yunjia was horrified to find that he seemed to be carrying a baby, having fun in his belly all day long…

    He held out his stomach stiffly and couldn’t help but curse: “Xue Zhixing! Aren’t you a straight man?!”

    Xue Zhixing smiled lightly: “You said you are also a straight man.”

    ——————

    When Xue Zhixing adjusted the soft pad behind his waist for the fifth time, Xiang Yunjia finally threw the pregnancy manual on the medical cabin: “Can you stop spinning? It’s like a top.”

    Alpha’s bony hands stopped in mid-air, and the cuffs were still stained with blood from the mecha’s battle.

    “The doctor from the Seventh Galaxy said that the angle of lying on one’s side should be kept at 35 degrees.”

    A series of obscure medical data flashed across Xue Zhixing’s lenses, “Your heart rate fluctuated 17 times this morning because…”

    “Because some idiot made the nutritional supplement taste like coriander!” Xiang Yunjia grabbed a pillow and threw it at it, but was intercepted by Xue Zhixing in the air.

    The tiny seams in the silk pillow exploded, and a lemon candy fell out of the fluttering down – it was Xue Zhixing’s trophy from the black market yesterday.

    Xiang Yunjia took the peeled lemon candy away with peace of mind.

    Xue Zhixing looked at Omega’s carefree appearance and couldn’t help but put his hand on his belly, humming a lullaby stiffly. The off-key melody made the fetus tremble.

    “Senior Xue, who won the national prize in the mathematics competition,” Xiang Yunjia suppressed laughter and trembled, “singing lullabies is good enough to be shot for ten minutes.”
