It was Monday, a new start for another week. Cheng Nuo was humming a tune as he slowly cycled towards the school.

The other night at the pool hall, Cheng Nuo had signed a series of unequal treaties with Husky under Wang Danian’s protection.

In short, whenever Cheng Nuo was in trouble, Husky and his subordinates had to come to his rescue once they had received Cheng Nuo’s call for help. Furthermore, they had to promptly deliver whatever food that Cheng Nuo wanted to eat. It seemed like the Husky Gang had become Cheng Nuo’s personal maids.

As for Gao Yuan, he was rather unfortunate.

He had joined the Husky Gang hoping that they could help him contend with Cheng Nuo and Lin Hu. However, it was completely beyond his expectations that he had ended up becoming Cheng Nuo’s minion.

“That’s… utterly unfair!” Gao Yuan thought bitterly. He couldn’t even complain to anyone about this.

“Yo~ Descendants of the mountains love the sun…”

Having been in a good mood, Cheng Nuo hummed the old song all the way till he reached the school.

When he entered the bicycle parking station, he saw Mu Leng and Xiaoxiao, who were locking their bikes.

“Morning, beauties!” Cheng Nuo waved at them, grinning.

“Hm.” Mu Leng replied to him with a cold glance and nodded lightly.

“Cheng Nuo?” Xiaoxiao’s eyes brightened up. She bounded towards Cheng Nuo and looked at him with her bright, piercing eyes.

Then she reached out her fair, tiny hands, looking up at Cheng Nuo expectantly.

“Yes?” Cheng Nuo was confused.

“What… is she doing?”

Xiaoxiao seemed disappointed at Cheng Nuo’s reaction.

“Hmph, Cheng Nuo, didn’t you promise to bring me snacks today? I want dried fruits, chips, pistachios, melon seeds, spicy strips[1]…” Xiaoxiao counted on her fingers and complained.

It was only then that Cheng Nuo remembered the “promise” that Xiaoxiao had mentioned.

After the basketball match last Friday, Xiaoxiao had dragged Mu Leng along to look for Cheng Nuo, hoping that Cheng Nuo would treat them again.

Cheng Nuo looked at the two pretty, young girls and then at the 300 Yuan left in his wallet.

As a tall, young man, Cheng Nuo finally yielded to the appeal of money. He cruelly rejected the two beauties’ invitation, but he had agreed to bring Xiaoxiao some snacks on Monday.

Having been questioned by Xiaoxiao, Cheng Nuo scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. “Haha, Xiaoxiao, of course I remember the promise! It’s very important! Don’t worry. I’ve ordered a delivery for you and it should arrive in no time. Please give me a minute. I’ll make a call right away and ask them to deliver it faster.”

After that, Cheng Nuo walked to the side and dialed the number he had just gotten last week.

“Husky, I’ll have to count on you today!”

“Freak you, who are you? How dare you disrupt your Big Brother Dog’s sweet dreams!”

The call was answered at once. Apparently, Husky had been sleeping.

“Hey, Big Brother Dog! It’s me, Cheng Nuo! Good morning!”

“Cheng Nuo? It’s you! What’s the matter?”

Husky had paused for three seconds before he finally recalled who Cheng Nuo was, because he had tried so hard to forget this name that had brought so much unhappiness to him.

He felt that he had lost all his face that night!

“What do you mean, Big Brother Dog? Am I not allowed to call you if it’s not for business purposes? Today is April 26th, 219 days till New Year. So I called you just to wish you a happy new year in advance!”

Husky was speechless.

“Well, actually, Big Brother Dog, I have something else to ask you other than new year wishes.”

Husky snapped. “Say it!”

“Deliver some snacks to me. Some dried fruits, chips, pistachios, melon seeds, and spicy strips will do. My address is the Second High School of Qing Cheng, the first classroom from the left on the fifth floor of the Morality Block. Be quick!!” Cheng Nuo said in one breath at a super-fast speed.

“No way. Get lost!” Husky’s reply was succinct and clear.

“If that’s the case…” Cheng Nuo said with a laugh, “You leave me with alternatives but to call Uncle Wang.”

“He’s going to report to my superior!” Husky cried out in his heart. Without a choice, he said, “Alright. Give me a while. I’ll have my man deliver it to you soon!”

“Great. Thank you, Big Brother Dog!”

Cheng Nuo hung up, satisfied.

He snapped his fingers and told Xiaoxiao, “Don’t worry. They said that the snacks will arrive soon!”

…

As soon as Cheng Nuo and the girls had settled down in the classroom, he saw a man outside their door, carrying a plastic bag full of snacks.

It was no other than the skinny guy, Monkey, from the Husky Gang.

Monkey was panting heavily. He glanced around inside the class and immediately beamed with joy when he saw Cheng Nuo.

He scuttled towards Cheng Nuo and said in a flattering tone, “Big Brother Nuo, these are the snacks that you asked me to buy.”

The other day at the pool hall, Monkey noticed that Big Brother Dog seemed to be afraid of Cheng Nuo. From then on, Cheng Nuo had left an even more imposing impression in Monkey’s mind.

Therefore, Monkey had accepted the task immediately and came to Cheng Nuo with the snacks like a real minion.

“Wah! So many snacks! Are they all for me?”

It was hard for Xiaoxiao to resist the temptation of food. Hence, her sharp eyes noticed the bag of snacks as soon as Monkey had entered the classroom.

“Yeah. All for you. I’m a man of my word,” Cheng Nuo said without even looking at the snacks.

“Cheng Nuo, you are the best!” Xiaoxiao was very touched. “I would have asked you to be my boyfriend if Mu Leng weren’t my bestie!”

Cheng Nuo automatically ignored that because he knew that Xiaoxiao would have unfriended him immediately if he had failed to give her the snacks.

Cheng Nuo turned to Monkey and asked with a smile, “By the way, how much is it in total? I’ll pay you.”

“The total price is 136 Yuan, Big Brother Nuo.”

“What?!” Cheng Nuo’s smile froze.

He hadn’t noticed it earlier. But now he looked down at the bag in Xiaoxiao’s hands, it was almost exploding with snacks.

Feeling sorry for his wallet, Cheng Nuo paid Monkey the total amount and dismissed him with a wave of his hand. Out of sight, out of mind.

“Cheng Nuo, which delivery company did you use? They are so fast!” Xiaoxiao asked as she stuffed her mouth with chips.

Cheng Nuo thought for a while and replied, “Husky Delivery. Fast, reliable, responsive!”

Xiaoxiao was speechless.

At this moment, Hao Shuai walked into the classroom. He sprinted towards Cheng Nuo and said nervously, “Cheng Nuo, I think I just bumped into the Monkey guy from the Husky Gang in the corridor!”

Cheng Nuo waved his hand and said calmly, “Chill. I asked him to come.”

“You?!” Hao Shuai widened his eyes in shock. “Why?!”

“To deliver us food! Husky Delivery, fast, reliable, and responsive. Have you… not heard of that?”

Hao Shuai was speechless.
