Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 438: Chapter 270: Is This... Finding Inspiration?_2

Qian Hong felt depressed thinking about it. Coupled with Zhao Yi asking her to bring food, she couldn’t help but think, "If Zhao Yi were my boyfriend..."

"Bringing him food at night seems so romantic. Her boyfriend would be at home doing research while she goes shopping and having dinner with her friends; then she’d bring him some takeaway."

The more Qian Hong thought about it, the happier she felt. But in reality, it was impossible. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Zhao Yi?

Too young!

This contrast between fantasy and reality was what made Qian Hong frustrated.

So, Zhao Yi’s understanding of ’that time of the month for women’ did have some truth. Qian Hong was indeed feeling upset and irritable when she left in anger.

Zhao Yi didn’t expect Qian Hong to bring him food, but he planned to have it as a late-night snack. He headed to the cafeteria and quickly located Fan Lei and Li Renzhe, who were eating.

After he got his food, he walked over to them with his tray.

"Zhao Yi?"

"Didn’t you say you were doing research? How did you end up in the cafeteria?" Li Renzhe asked instinctively.

Zhao Yi’s eyes lit up and patiently explained, "I still need to eat even when doing research. So, Old Li, do me a favor."

"What?" Li Renzhe didn’t understand immediately.

Zhao Yi laughed, "The Sichuan restaurant outside. If you receive my message, please help me by ordering some dishes and bringing them over."

Li Renzhe’s face darkened and complained, "Your demands are quite high."

"Haha."

Fan Lei patted his chest and said, "Don’t worry. Leave it to us, Zhao Yi. Just focus on your research. When we receive your message, we’ll deliver your food."

"Real bros!"

With no delivery services, getting food was indeed a problem.

Zhao Yi had relied on Qian Hong’s help in the past, but he didn’t know what happened to her. He could only turn to others, and having dormitory mates like Li Renzhe and Fan Lei helps.

Zhao Yi didn’t want to trouble unfamiliar people, and Li Renzhe and Fan Lei were quite nice. They frequently attended class, ate, and played games together, so they could be considered good buddies.

...

After finishing his meal, Zhao Yi returned to the faculty dormitory to continue his research. However, before he could start, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

He called out and opened the door to see Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei carried a household food container in her hand and went inside to place the food on the table. "You haven’t eaten yet, right? I heard from others that you were doing research and didn’t attend class in the afternoon. I knew you must be hungry, so I ordered some food in advance. It has soup and dishes. It should suit your taste."

"Thank you."

Zhao Yi wanted to mention he ate at the cafeteria earlier, but after hearing Zhang Wei’s words, he decided not to say anything. "I was just getting hungry, almost starving. Thank you, Sister Zhang."

"You’re welcome." freewēbnoveℓ.com

Zhang Wei’s smile grew warmer as she said, "Go ahead and eat. I’ll watch you eat and make sure you eat enough. I’ll take the food container when you’re done, do you mind if I sit here for a while?"

"...Of course. Please, make yourself comfortable."

Zhao Yi was slightly annoyed. He felt grateful that he had only eaten a bit of the lousy cafeteria food, so he still had a little space left in his stomach.

"Come on!"

Zhao Yi took a deep breath and had a sip of soup to whet his appetite. Then, he ate more than half a bowl of rice and some dishes. He burped loudly, unable to eat anymore.

Zhang Wei cleaned up the tableware while commenting, "Your appetite isn’t that great. My younger brother isn’t even twenty, and he can eat two big bowls of rice in one meal."

"Haha."

Zhao Yi laughed awkwardly.

Zhang Wei was ready to leave after cleaning up. At the door, she said, "You’ll be doing research these few days, right? If you need my help, don’t hesitate! You’re my leader after all."

With that, she left.

Zhao Yi returned to his desk, stood up, and readjusted himself before feeling slightly better, "I still have to focus on my research. Burn some calories and maybe I’ll feel comfortable..."

Top up Study Coin!

Top up Research Coin!

Zhao Yi quickly got into the zone and immersed himself in his research.

An hour went by.

As he exited his cause-and-effect thinking and focus mode, he was about to top up another round of coins when someone knocked on his door again.

Zhao Yi checked the time, noticing it was already eight o’clock.

Who could it be at this hour?

Many students were in optional classes or studying in the library at this time, but no one usually came to the faculty dormitory to look for Zhao Yi at this hour.

Zhao Yi opened the door and saw Qian Hong, who was holding a pizza box.

"Sister Awesome..." Zhao Yi didn’t know whether to be happy or upset.

Qian Hong glared at him, walked into the room carrying the bag, and placed the items on his desk. "Here you go, a late-night snack. I waited for nearly an hour at the mall for this."

"Oh~~ I had food at the cafeteria this afternoon..." Just as Zhao Yi was about to explain, he saw her fierce gaze and nodded hurriedly. "Your timing is perfect. I’m starving. The school cafeteria food is so bad."

As he said this, he opened the box and saw the steaming pizza.

It must have been quickly brought back.

Zhao Yi was grateful in his heart, but his stomach seemingly protested. He struggled to pick up a slice, took a determined bite, and said, "This tastes fantastic! The taste of pizza brought by Sister Awesome is just different."

"All you do is flatter."

Qian Hong’s lips quirked up slightly as she sat down and started complaining to Zhao Yi. "Do you know? I was so mad just now!"

"Nowadays, people are just unreliable. Once they have boyfriends, they forget about their friends. It’s our gathering, but they sit with their boyfriends during dinner and left us alone."

"Even when ordering dinner, they’re so calculative with money. They haven’t even married yet but already trying to save money for their boyfriends..."

"Then when we were shopping together, her boyfriend bought drinks only for the two of them."

"I seriously... received an entire stomach full of dog food on the way back!"

"Blah blah blah~~"

Zhao Yi’s head was about to explode.

If it weren’t for his protesting stomach, he might not have minded joining in with Qian Hong’s rant about how couples displaying public affection is so immoral.

However, his stomach was the main issue!

After forcing down a large slice of pizza, he realized that Qian Hong had no intention of leaving.

He couldn’t go on!

He definitely couldn’t continue!

Zhao Yi quickly wracked his brains. He stared intently at the pizza and became motionless. Under Qian Hong’s puzzled gaze, he said excitedly, "I got it! Yes, the pizza! Look at the toppings, the fruits and meat, this red tomato... so irregular! But within this irregularity, there’s a regular pattern! Yes, that’s it..."

He immediately sat down at his desk and started writing on his manuscript.

Qian Hong looked on, unable to comprehend the complex equations. However, she understood the implication.

Was he... inspired?

So, maybe it wasn’t a good idea to continue bothering him?
