Chapter 152 : There Are Still Many Good People in the World
After finishing lunch, Lin Li once again had Wu Min help him log into his food delivery account and went out to put the finishing touches on mission four.
"Sun, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Don't you have any sense? Do you really want Hou Yi to shoot you in the face?"
Lin Li pushed the electric scooter to its maximum speed, feeling the wind blowing in his face with a hint of heat, and at the same time, he complained.
Didn't they say that only June, July, and August belonged to summer? Then what about the highest temperature of thirty degrees today?
"Your coffee." Downstairs at the office building, Lin Li ran towards the waiting customer.
"Thank you," the lifeless office worker yawned and returned to the office building.
A donkey won't whip itself, but a person will buy coffee for their boss.
Humans are amazing, aren't they?
Hannibal would shake his head if he saw this. With Uncle Ba's quality control, he definitely wouldn't eat the bitter-tasting, hard-working office workers.
And isn't spilling coffee more refreshing than drinking it? Why does everyone choose to drink it?
"Bro, be careful. There's a helmet check up ahead," on the way out, a passerby walking towards him turned his head and reminded Lin Li.
"Huh? Thanks, bro!"
This is a really good person. Lin Li sincerely wished him a life full of love and no shortage of people to do that with.
Then he immediately stopped the scooter and put on his helmet.
If he got caught, it would be one thing to be fined. He might even be lectured, especially since the scooter wasn't his. It would be very troublesome.
He was indeed given a helmet when he rented the scooter, but Lin Li usually hung it on the front of the scooter and didn't wear it. Because if he wore the helmet for a long time, his hairstyle would evolve from a bowl cut to a pot-sticker head, and the roots of his hair would sting when he ran his fingers through them. Lin Li, who didn't like this experience, chose not to wear it, hoping for the best.
Of course, this is not encouraged. Safety is important.
After putting it on, Lin Li continued to move forward.
"Uncle Yang?"
"Lin Li?"
When he reached the intersection and found that one of the people wearing the uniform of the Town Vehicle Division was very familiar, Lin Li said with surprise.
"Uncle, why are you a traffic cop?" Lin Li moved the electric scooter a little and asked curiously.
Although in a small town, it was true that the Demon Suppression Division and the Town Vehicle Division would share manpower when there was a shortage, Lin Li remembered that Yang Liang was not at the lowest level of the Demon Suppression Division. It shouldn't be his turn, especially since today was the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"There's a shortage of manpower during the holidays. Plus, I plan to take a long vacation to rest well, so I switched shifts," Yang Liang sighed.
"I can see that, Uncle. You really need to rest well. You look so haggard," Lin Li looked at Yang Liang's serious dark circles and nodded in agreement. Then he advised with concern, "Uncle, you have to cherish your body even more when you're old."
You must cherish it until I succeed in my cultivation and can cure your chronic illness.
The surname Yang is so rare. It must be passed down.
Yang Liang: "..."
Kid, do you want to guess what I was busy with before I was transferred?
However, thanks to Lin Li's 'blessing', the Three Bridges Town Demon Suppression Division received a commendation from above, and the year-end bonus would be much larger. And the Three Bridges sympathized with the hard work of the anti-vice team. In addition to the bonus, they also supplemented their vacation. Yang Liang planned to use it after the Mid-Autumn Festival and before the National Day to relax during the off-season.
The only problem was that his leader hoped that when he went to the city for a meeting next time, he could go on stage and share his experience of such a brilliant anti-vice achievement with his colleagues from other places. This almost made Yang Liang sweat profusely.
How could he share this? Advise everyone to go out and meet Lin Li, to meet Song Luping?
But there was no need to tell Lin Li about these things. Yang Liang didn't want to put pressure on this pitiful and strong child, so he turned to ask Lin Li, "I'll pay attention. Lin Li, are you... delivering food?"
Yang Liang looked at the Meituan helmet on Lin Li's head and the insulated box behind the scooter, his expression hesitant, somewhat unable to believe his own judgment.
"That's right," Lin Li turned around, opened his insulated box, took out a bag containing milk tea with the takeout seal still intact, directly tore it open, took out the milk tea, and asked, "Uncle, it's so hot and you've been standing here all day without even any shade. You've worked hard. Do you want some milk tea?"
Yang Liang: "?"
Who delivers food like this? You just take the customer's stuff and give it away? You're f*cking breaking the law. I'm going to call the police.
Wait, before I worry about that—
"Lin Li, why are you a food delivery rider!?" Then Yang Liang's tone instantly dropped, with more concern, "Are you having some difficulties in life? Are you short of money?"
"Neither, Uncle Yang. I'm not short of money. I haven't even finished spending my last bonus. I'm just doing it for fun, to experience life. It's quite interesting," Lin Li said with a smile, using the same excuse he had used on Wu Min.
Looking at the sunny smile on Lin Li's face, Yang Liang fell silent.
He understood again.
No one understood Lin Li better than him.
What a good child, trying to find ways to supplement his family's income again.
Although he had the impression that you couldn't deliver food if you were under eighteen, at this time, how could he ask such a question? Wouldn't that make things difficult for Lin Li?
Law enforcement also needs to have warmth.
"I see," Yang Liang's throat was dry. He slowly nodded and could only say this.
"Uncle, I won't delay you from continuing your work. I also have to continue delivering food, otherwise I'll be late," Lin Li then said.
"Alright, remember... if you have any difficulties, find me."
Yang Liang watched Lin Li ride away.
What a good child.
This time's bonus and honor, uncle will do his best to fight for you.
...
【Perfectly completed 30 sect missions issued by the Meituan Escort Agency (28/30)】
Only two more good reviews were needed to complete mission four.
While waiting for the merchant to prepare the food, Lin Li walked to the entrance and looked at a small truck parked not far away.
The back of the truck was filled with watermelons. At this time, a vendor was sitting in the shade of the truck, looking at the passersby with anticipation.
In small towns, this kind of selling method was still relatively common. It was basically first-hand sales by farmers, with no middlemen to earn the price difference, so the price was exceptionally cheap.
"Watermelon, two yuan for three jin. If it's not ripe, you don't have to pay! Watermelon, two yuan for three jin. If it's not ripe, you don't have to pay..." The loudspeaker hanging on the truck was constantly shouting.
This price was indeed much cheaper than in fruit stores and supermarkets.
After running around delivering food for so long, Lin Li was indeed a little thirsty, so he drove his electric scooter over.
Wait, this boss...
"Uncle, do you still remember me?" Lin Li said with surprise after getting closer on his electric scooter.
"Hmm? Who are you?" The vendor was excited when a customer came, but he was confused when he heard Lin Li's voice.
He stared at Lin Li's face for a long time, but in the end, he still didn't remember knowing such a junior. He shook his head and said, "I don't know you."
"That's true, we're not really familiar. Uncle, I'll just take these two watermelons then," upon hearing this, Lin Li nodded, patted the two large watermelons with satisfaction, and prepared to leave.
There are so many strange good people in this world.
Specially giving warmth to strangers.
The vendor: "?"
"Wait, you motherf*cker, come back here!"
...
"It's if the watermelon isn't ripe, you don't have to pay, not if we're not familiar, you don't have to pay!" Lin Li wasn't really planning to run. The vendor easily stopped him and at the same time, gritted his teeth and added.
"Then uncle, can you help me pick two unripe ones? I don't want the ripe ones," upon hearing this, Lin Li nodded calmly.
The vendor: "?"
You're determined to eat a free watermelon today, aren't you?
"Go, go, go, don't disturb my business. Go play on the side."
It seems he couldn't get it for free. Lin Li then obediently bought half a watermelon. Who says seedless is no good? Seedless is the best.
Watermelon is best eaten by scooping it out, especially the first bite in the middle, and it's best if it's chilled. So Lin Li had the vendor wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the insulated box, preparing to enjoy it at home after finishing his mission.
"Lin Li, it's really you. Why are you here?" Next to the truck, Chen Yuying said with some surprise.
"Class President? Why are you here?" Lin Li subconsciously used the primary school student's divine skill—rebound.
"Of course I'm going to school, but my dad is running some errands at the post office. I just heard your voice, and when I came over to take a look, it was really you," Chen Yuying explained.
Indeed, Chen Yuying was now wearing her slightly modified school uniform, which was not as stunning as the little blue dress.
The civilian clothes version, it seems he wouldn't be able to see it for a long time.
"You're going to school so early?" It was only a little after three in the afternoon, and the evening self-study session didn't start until six, so Lin Li asked.
Lin Li usually arrived just in time.
"Mhm, I usually go earlier," Chen Yuying nodded.
"I see. I'm delivering food," before Chen Yuying could ask again, Lin Li rode his electric scooter to Chen Yuying's side, patted his back box and said.
"Delivering food? Why are you delivering food?" Chen Yuying's confusion did not decrease at all.
"It's nothing, I just..." Lin Li explained again with his usual excuse.
"Is that so? You're actually interested in this kind of thing?" Chen Yuying nodded in realization, then asked curiously, "Is delivering food interesting?"
Lin Li recalled Baowei's chicken steak from the day before yesterday, looked at Chen Yuying in front of him, and nodded, "It's quite interesting. There are often unexpected gains and surprises."
Chen Yuying lowered her head slightly, not making eye contact with Lin Li for long, and nodded her head lightly, "Oh, oh."
—If Chen Yuying knew that Lin Li's mind was now full of chicken steak and Zhou Baowei, she probably wouldn't be like this.
Then Lin Li suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead, opened the insulated box, and took out the milk tea he had once handed to Yang Liang, "Class President, do you want this milk tea? It's for you."
"Ah, why are you giving it to me? You bought it yourself and you're not drinking it?" Because it had been opened before, Chen Yuying thought Lin Li had bought it himself and asked curiously.
"I didn't buy it. It was a gift from a simp," Lin Li shook his head and explained.
Chen Yuying: "?"
Chen Yuying's beautiful eyes blinked, and blinked again. Then she looked at the milk tea and asked, "Lin Li, is a girl chasing you?"
"It's a misunderstanding, Class President. It's not my simp. This is the receipt. You'll know when you see the note," Lin Li chuckled upon hearing this and handed over a small receipt.
Chen Yuying took it and saw that the note on it was:
「If she doesn't answer the phone or doesn't want it, the rider can drink it himself. Sorry for the trouble.」
Chen Yuying: "..."
So it was that kind of simp.
Then it was indeed a gift from a simp.
"I don't like to drink milk tea. I feel that milk tea is a bit cloying and doesn't quench my thirst. I'm a refreshing fruit tea person. So Class President, if you don't mind, you can have it. It's really useless for me to keep it," Lin Li then explained.
This was also the reason why Lin Li had directly handed it to Yang Liang before.
"Alright then. I'll treat you to fruit tea next time to return the favor," Chen Yuying thought for a moment and didn't refuse, accepting this second-hand milk tea from a simp.
"Alright," Lin Li nodded.
His phone had already reminded him that he could pick up the goods. Just as Lin Li was about to say goodbye, a loud horn sounded from behind.
Turning his head, he saw a car parked behind him. The owner was impatiently honking at Lin Li, who was occupying the road and not moving.
The problem was actually with this car owner. After all, Lin Li was driving in the non-motorized vehicle lane. However, this was not strictly enforced in a small place—the fact that the watermelon truck could park here was proof. With Chen Yuying next to him, Lin Li was too lazy to argue with the car owner, so he made a drift and went up the slope, making way.
Watching the car owner drive away, Lin Li snorted coldly, "I'll remember today's humiliation. Don't bully a young man for being poor. When I become successful, I will definitely install a super-duper loud horn on my electric scooter. Let's see who can out-honk whom then!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuying burst out laughing, "Lin Li, can't your ambition be a little bigger? Can't you also drive a car?"
"It's not that I don't have a driver's license yet. I have to be realistic," Lin Li explained.
"You're really pragmatic. But Lin Li, you're actually riding an electric scooter. That's so amazing," Chen Yuying praised.
"Our Xiling doesn't strictly require an electric scooter license yet. If you're talking about an electric scooter license, I don't have one either. But if you don't need one, isn't it just a matter of riding it? If you can ride a bicycle, you can ride an electric scooter."
Chen Yuying's tone, her expression, and that adoring little look in her eyes. Her praise was really intoxicating. Lin Li was even a little embarrassed.
