Section 1

I have been waiting for you, I will take ten jin first

The little girl did not know, perhaps there would be no opportunity for a "next time"

If anyone asks, just say it was given by relatives in Shanghai

She stuffed the dirty clothes that could not be washed in water, which were piled on the sofa, into a bag, preparing to take them downstairs for dry cleaning, while subconsciously recalling what kind of low-demand, relatively easy jobs would be suitable for a young girl to earn some extra money

Hmm, yes, "I am Mi Yi," Mi Yi assessed these boxes.

Miyi: ... . ... Next time we meet, I will return it to you. It was agreed that I would treat, so it should be me, right? Moreover, you have already spent so much money today, how can I let you spend more? I will feel embarrassed to hang out with you all next time.

Cheng Cheng also seemed surprised: "Eight boxes? That should be enough for your dormitory to eat for a week"

I received the delivery, a total of 8 boxes, "" Mi Yi also lowered his voice, "" And then? ""

"Alright." Mi Yi agreed

Next time

Then I won't disturb you while you have your late-night snack, just find me when you're done. I haven't finished speaking, and I won't be able to sleep. I will wait for you no matter how late it is, I will definitely wait, so you can eat in peace

Cheng Cheng: Please provide me with the address of your dormitory, as I will send you a package regarding this job. It will arrive today, delivered by a dedicated vehicle, not a courier company, so please pay attention to your phone.

It was originally summer when I left, and I gave you extra rent just in case. You can keep it well. If I come back to Shanghai in the future, I will still stay at your place

"Today is the day to bid you farewell, so focus." A friend protested from the side

Indeed, no one is mentioning her anymore, and she has once again begun to be idle

After about ten seconds, there was a faint sound of a glass being placed on the computer desk. Cheng Cheng spoke again: "I have been very busy these past few days, I would appreciate your help, and I will treat you to a meal later."

Mi Yi hastily finished washing the clothes in the basin and hung them out on the dormitory balcony. Fearing poor mobile signal, she stayed outside and waited for a call while holding her phone. After waiting for an hour, even her dormitory mates began to wonder what was wrong with her. Why was she standing on the balcony in the hot weather? Mi Yi vaguely replied that she was waiting for an important delivery and was worried about the signal. Her dormitory mates laughed and pulled her back to the door, offering her a chair so she could wait inside the balcony door, while also catching a glimpse of a Korean drama.

Cheng Cheng spoke casually, but the roommate felt sad, losing the motivation to go to work, yet had no choice but to go: "How about I take a day off today and stay home with you?"

According to Haku, Cheng Cheng is someone who wouldn't even allow others to treat her to a drink, let alone ask for help. What could possibly compel her to ask for assistance herself?

The roommate complained about Cheng Cheng's "untrustworthiness" and "lack of affection" for a full ten minutes, and only when it was absolutely necessary to go to work did she, with red eyes, give Cheng Cheng a hug, saying: "When I get off work, I will cook ten dishes for you"

Cheng Cheng: I am quite busy this week and have a task that I cannot manage. Could you help me with it : )

Arriving at Wujiang Road, I walked to the second-to-last shop at the end of the street according to the photos sent by my friend. I saw three men and three women waiting for me inside, smiled as I put away my phone, stepped down two steps, and entered the shop

No more words, I will have a late-night snack

What manuscript is this

The only thing I can do is to check the missed calls from last night and ask those who were looking for me if there is anything important. After replying to the last person, only Mi Yi remains.

Cheng Cheng felt guilty after being criticized, set his phone to silent, and finally sent a short message to Mi Yi:

Miyi soaked a basin of clothes in the laundry room, yawning and weakly rubbing her denim skirt, occasionally glancing at the mobile phone on the windowsill. She had not slept well last night, constantly waiting for a text message from Chengcheng.

Cheng Cheng hesitated, should he reply or ignore it

There is the sound of drinking water in the phone

Once again, the question arises: to respond? Or to ignore?

It cannot be said that I am a poor student, but studying in a high-cost city like Shanghai, with two children to support at home, indeed places me at a disadvantage economically compared to my peers

Mi Yi hesitated for a second about what name to sign, and then noticed that the delivery order was written as "Cheng Cheng", so he signed the same name

This was sent by our publicity department, you just need to sign your name on the list" The man handed her a store pickup slip, "There is dry ice in the box, used for cooling.

It is hard to say. In your senior year, you told everyone that you would stay in Shanghai for work, but you left right after graduation; later, you promised your family that you would stay in Beijing, yet inexplicably returned to Shanghai. You, of all people, have the least credibility.

Cheng Cheng nodded and casually took out his phone from his bag. There were six missed calls from a Shanghai number, two of which were from his roommate. The Beijing number had only one new message from Mi Yi.

Due to insomnia, Mi Yi felt lethargic throughout the entire day. Fortunately, the final exams have already concluded, and this week there are no formal classes aside from elective courses. Even though he lacks energy, it does not hinder his attendance in class and exams.

The father is a veteran who transitioned to civilian life after being injured, while the mother is an ordinary worker who retired early due to illness and is now recuperating at home. The family also has an older brother who is studying at a university in a first-tier city, specifically an art school, which has high tuition fees

"Um," Cheng Cheng said, "You should first move back to the dormitory and see how many types there are in total. Keep one of each, and distribute the rest to your roommates and the dormitory supervisor." She paused slightly and added, "If there are still many left, give some to your classmates."

Miyi stared blankly at the phone

Miyi is a bit confused

As soon as the final exams concluded, the entire dormitory was in high spirits, binge-watching television series day and night

I will send you some materials shortly, and you need to write about the product from various perspectives, including flavor, selection of ingredients, craftsmanship, and quality. Since it is food, tasting is required.

"No, I am not considering the issue of compensation," Mi Yi said anxiously upon hearing Cheng Cheng mention money. "I just feel a bit confused since I have never heard of this before... I am afraid I won't do it well, and this is a serious job. Why don't we forget it? Why not see if there is someone else with experience who can help you?"

This commotion lasted until dawn, and only then did everyone let Cheng Cheng go home

The roommate, with no other choice, put on high heels: "Then remember to go to the market in the afternoon to buy groceries, and we won't order takeout in the evening; we'll cook instead. Before you leave, I will cook for you."

Cheng Cheng: I did not see it last night, my apologies

"It's not very difficult to write this," Cheng Cheng comforted her, "I can teach you."

After the delivery truck left, Mi Yi dialed her mobile phone as instructed by Cheng Cheng

"But starting from scratch is troublesome to teach, and it would waste your time," Mi Yi still felt something was amiss, "If that's the case, it would be faster for you to write it yourself—"

The little girl spoke to her, laying out the situation in Miyi as if introducing a prospective match

Looking at the time, it was a little past 9 o'clock last night

The arrangements are made step by step, as if everything has been planned in advance, and Mi Yi only needs to follow the instructions

completely at a loss, unable to grasp, without any clues

Cheng Cheng received it, peeled open the thin two layers of plastic wrap, and just as he put it on, a text message from Mi Yi happened to arrive

"Wait for me to have a drink." Cheng Cheng interrupted her

Usually, the money given to Mi Yi by her family is hardly enough after she finishes her meals each month. She has worked various jobs and tutored students, using the money she earned to register for different exams, buy clothes, and cover entertainment expenses. When everyone in the dormitory goes out to have fun, such as to KTV, she is always enthusiastic, going with a cheerful spirit and splitting the bill equally, never allowing anyone to pay more than their share. Although she is the poorest in the dormitory, something happened. She always shares her food with everyone, never keeping track of expenses. She brought hot pot ingredients from home and treated her dorm mates to hot pot, spending her own money to buy them from the supermarket. There is one person in their dormitory who contributes nothing but still eats along, and after the meal, he complains that Mi Yi is too stingy to buy meat and fish balls, calling her cheap, which infuriates me.

Public Relations Press Release

1:00 PM

Ah, right, you mentioned that you made plans with Chen Ming and the others, "the roommate recalled, "is it to see you off?"

Cheng Cheng: Today, the cold drinks are on me

Miyi: Yes, of course, go ahead, my final exams are all over, and I am the most free this week

The market opens at 3 PM, and before that, she has no tasks, no goals, and nothing in particular she wants to play with

"Alright," Cheng Cheng replied, and then added, "It's not like I won't be back for a lifetime."

It is compensated," Cheng Cheng said again

After much persuasion, the melancholic roommate was finally convinced to leave, granting a moment of tranquility

In addition to the two men at the resort in the morning, there were several old classmates who had returned home for the summer vacation. As old friends gathered and learned that Cheng Cheng was about to leave Shanghai, they naturally were reluctant to disperse easily. They enjoyed food and drinks on Wujiang Road until 11 o'clock and specially booked a hotel next to Xintiandi to play cards all night long

No. It is to ask you to write articles, each between 600 to 800 words, a total of 10 articles

"We had a late-night snack on Wujiang Road, and then played cards all night long"

She had no time to think much, so she went back to call the dormitory residents to come out and help carry the boxes. When they arrived at the dormitory, everyone cheered with joy every time they opened a box, which was filled with cakes, bread, and frozen dumplings. Mi Yi was also surprised but had to pretend to know in advance. Following Cheng Cheng's instructions, she kept one portion of each food item for herself and distributed the rest to her classmates and the dormitory supervisor.

This is still the first time the two of them are on the phone; her voice on the call is somewhat different, very soft

Hello?" It was Cheng Cheng's voice

This time is the peak period for customer flow, and the store is crowded with people. Their table is located at the back, next to the corner.

Miyi immediately wiped his hands clean with the hem of his short sleeves and went to check his messages

Good

At the moment the call was connected, Mi Yi instinctively held his breath

I have everything ready, yet Mi Yi is filled with too many questions and cannot hold back any longer, so she asks, "Aren't you the one who needed my help? Why did you send over a bunch of food? Did you buy all of this yourself?"

Suddenly, the phone vibrated, indicating 1 new message

The sound of the electric drill downstairs interrupted Cheng Cheng's train of thought

Public relations press release? What does the term 'Miyi' have to do with these foods?

Cheng Cheng: Received

Didn’t you just give me three months' rent? Are you leaving already? My roommate was surprised

"I am not leaving tomorrow." Cheng Cheng finds it amusing

Cheng Cheng: Upon receiving the items, please give me a call

Miyi quickly sent the addresses of the school and dormitory

She hurriedly ran outside the dormitory building and saw eight large cardboard boxes neatly stacked together, particularly eye-catching. Next to the boxes stood a young man dressed in a business suit

Mi Yi: It's alright, it's alright, I fell asleep right after I sent it... I was even worried that you would look for me.

Cheng Cheng wandered, recalling the words of classmate Mi Yi from yesterday at the racetrack

Upon arriving home, Cheng Cheng opened the door to her room and found her roommate changing clothes. Surprised, she asked her, "Where have you been? I called you and you didn't answer."

This time it was Mi Yi's turn to be surprised: "Is it food?"

Everyone sat around watching, while Mi Yi accompanied them, absent-mindedly waiting from the blazing sun until the sun set in the west. Finally, the call to deliver the items came.

Two beeps sounded, and surprisingly, 2 new messages came in one after the other

Unfortunately, Cheng Cheng did not reply

Miyi: Why are you giving me money

Cheng Cheng laughed on the other end of the phone and said, "It is quite difficult to find someone at the last minute; students currently in school are the most convenient."

Tonight was originally a small gathering for a farewell supper, but a few more friends who are in Shanghai joined us

Next month

"When are you planning to leave?" her roommate asked her

Upon seeing Mi Yi approach with trepidation, he guessed who she was: "You are here to pick up the goods, aren't you"

... ...

also to ... ...

After finishing these tasks, Mi Yi eagerly made a second phone call to Cheng Cheng

When her friend sat down in the city, he handed her a pair of plastic gloves
