Mo Yangyang’s wrist was drenched, so Xie Xize’s hand was a little wet too. Normally, he would wipe his hand right away.

But now…

His lips were curling up. His calm eyes were filled with joy.

Not bad, it did not even take too much of his effort…

“Ah?” The bodyguards heard Xie Xize’s words clearly, but they could not understand what he was trying to say.

What did the professor mean? Was he sending them to protect the delivery girl?

Was the delivery girl even that important? Why was her safety even their concern?

Was their boss out of his mind today?

Xie Xize looked sideways. “What are you waiting for?”

The bodyguard immediately felt his blood running cold. He did not dare to waste any time further, “Oh… sure… I’m on my way!”

The bodyguards moved out in a hurry.

Xie Xize said, “Wait…”

The bodyguards were dumbfounded. What now?

Xie Xize reached his hand out. “Give me the takeaway!”

The bodyguards handed the takeaway to Xie Xize in astonishment.

Their minds were still blank even when they finally got in the elevator.

“Are…are you sure that’s the professor we know?”

“I…I think so?”

Xie Xize went into the room and put the takeaway down. He laid out the boxes and opened them. The room was soon filled with nice aromas.

The assistant almost popped his eyes out. Is the professor going to eat the takeaway?

No way!? Their professor was a finicky eater.

He watched Xie Xize pick up the chopsticks and eat the food!

The assistant wiped the cold sweat away from his forehead with his hand. Their boss was seriously not in his right mind today. He had been acting strangely since they came back from the hospital.

He saw Xie Xize trying out every dish with a serious face, and finally had a pleased face in the end.

The assistant swallowed. He had never seen the professor reacting like that when he was eating. Those dishes must be quite delicious. He suddenly felt extremely hungry!

The assistant asked cautiously after a while, “Sir, the labs in Xiacheng are still waiting for your decisions. The company has a huge project coming up, too. Should we go back tomorrow…”

Xie Xize grabbed a piece of steamed beef and said, “I’m feeling a little tired recently because of the tight schedule. Jinchuan is a nice place, I’ll be resting here for some time.”

Tired?

The assistant thought he had heard it wrong. Their professor was the kind of person that could work in the lab for three days straight. Did he just say he was tired?

Who would even believe that?

“But…”

“Arrange for someone to clean the house here.”

“Got it.” The assistant waited until Xie Xize finally put his chopsticks down. He asked, “And the takeaway?”

Xie Xize took off his glasses and grinned, “Order it again tomorrow!”

The assistant was unable to make sense of his boss…

Xie Xize took out the business card of Han’s Restaurant and said thoughtfully, “Remember to ask her to deliver it when you do so.”
