I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan

Chapter 226: Sneaking off to See Tong Dongnuan


While Xia Liang was rescuing the little boy, many people filmed the entire process and posted it to Douyin. His videos were everywhere, trending on Weibo and popping up in friend circles.

A single stone stirred a thousand ripples! The internet instantly exploded.

"Holy moly! Is this for real? Delivery guys are this badass now? A little while ago, a delivery guy caught human traffickers, and now there's one climbing buildings to save people! Did all the talented people become delivery drivers?!"

"Hey, wait a minute... Why does that silhouette look so familiar? Isn't that... isn't that the same guy from before? Oh my god!"

"Damn! It really is him! Is he trying to dominate the headlines? Wang Feng must be crying in the bathroom right now. A delivery guy is making the headlines over and over!"

"Wow! That guy is amazing! I'm a fan for life! I'm begging for a picture of his face! To the people replying below, I want all his info within five minutes!"

"I can't believe this! All the delivery drivers are this incredible now. How is a humble person like me supposed to survive? My self-esteem has taken a huge hit. Someone comfort me!"

"Are you single, handsome? I'm super sweet! No dowry needed! I know all the tricks, and I'll even pay you to be with me!"

...

The videos on Douyin instantly garnered a massive number of comments and likes! Some eagle-eyed netizens compared the footage and discovered that the delivery guy who saved the boy was the very same one who had fought the human traffickers.

The netizens exploded all over again! It hadn't been that long, and this guy was already trending again today!

*Please, can't you just deliver food normally?* they pleaded.

#DeliveryGuyClimbsBuildingToSavePeople

The hashtag soared to tens of millions of views in an instant! Clicking on the video revealed Xia Liang himself, clambering up the side of a burning building!

The comments kept refreshing nonstop.

*The handsomest delivery guy!*

*A modern-day Lei Feng, doing good deeds without leaving a name!*

*There's still true compassion in this world! Discussing the professionalism of a delivery guy!*

The end of the video left netizens utterly stunned. Was this guy even human? Tearing off burglar bars with his bare hands—was it a genetic mutation or natural-born super strength? Climbing a building to save someone? Tearing off burglar bars with his bare hands? It all sounded completely unbelievable! He was practically a modern-day Spider-Man!

As for the person involved, Xia Liang was still leisurely making deliveries.

By five in the evening, Xia Liang had just finished his last delivery when he received a phone call.

"Hello, Dongnuan? What's up?"

On the other end of the line, Tong Dongnuan couldn't help but mutter, "What? I can't call you if there isn't something specific?"

"No, of course not!" Xia Liang quickly denied.

What kind of international joke was this? There was no way he could admit to that.

Fortunately, Tong Dongnuan didn't seem to mind. "I miss you. It's been almost half a month since we last saw each other. Did you miss me?"

"Of course!" Xia Liang knew he couldn't hesitate at a time like this.

However, Tong Dongnuan didn't believe him for a second. "You're lying! If you really missed me, you would've come to see me by now."

Hearing the plaintive tone in her voice, Xia Liang thought for a moment. He only had plans for Saturday and Sunday. Since he couldn't achieve the System's full attendance bonus for the month anyway, he might as well take a few days off to spend some time with her.

He immediately said, "I was just about to come see you today."

"Hm?" Tong Dongnuan had only said it offhandedly, not actually expecting him to come over. She immediately grew excited. "Really?"

"Really!" Xia Liang confirmed, already starting his car and driving toward the outskirts of the city. "Send me your address. I'll use the GPS to get there."

"Okay!" Tong Dongnuan didn't hesitate. She hung up and sent the address right over.

After receiving the address, Xia Liang first phoned Qingxue, followed by Xi Yiqian and Luu Qi. He told them he would be on a "business trip" for a few days. Yes, a business trip... to check on the milk tea shop he had shares in. That was the story.

It wasn't until eight in the evening that Xia Liang finally reached his destination.

As soon as he got out of the car, Tong Dongnuan leaped into his arms. Xia Liang hurriedly caught her. Before he could say anything, she pressed her lips against his.

Five minutes later, Tong Dongnuan finally released him, gasping for breath.

"Should we go up?" Xia Liang asked.

"Mhm!" Tong Dongnuan nodded.

The two returned to Tong Dongnuan's home. Everything that followed went without saying. Absence truly makes the heart grow fonder. They battled passionately until they finally fell asleep in the early morning.

「The next day, they didn't wake up until noon.」

After they both washed up, a noise broke the silence.

RUMBLE...

Hearing the sound, Xia Liang couldn't help but smile. "What was that?"

Tong Dongnuan coughed. "Ah, that was... nothing."

Xia Liang couldn't help but roll his eyes at her. "If you're hungry, just say so. No need to let your stomach protest for you."

Tong Dongnuan wasn't one to take such teasing lying down. She immediately retaliated by biting his neck. Seeing the bright red love bite on his skin, she finally smiled triumphantly.

Xia Liang shook his head helplessly. "Come on, I'll take you out to eat."

"Okay!" Tong Dongnuan's face instantly lit up with joy, and that familiar, happy feeling returned.

Seeing the snack stalls along the street, Xia Liang asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"Anything is fine."

Hearing this classic answer, Xia Liang felt a bit exasperated. "Then let's have some soup dumplings."

"No problem." Tong Dongnuan nodded. Xia Liang took her hand and led her toward a breakfast stall selling soup dumplings.

They ordered two steamers of soup dumplings, and Tong Dongnuan added two glasses of soy milk. She took a satisfying bite. The fragrant aroma was intoxicatingly refreshing, and she was thoroughly content.

"Mmm, not bad..."

Xia Liang watched her eat heartily, her cheeks puffed up like two little buns. It was incredibly cute. He couldn't help but smile. Such a beautiful girl. Was I blind before?

After they had breakf—er, lunch, Tong Dongnuan pulled Xia Liang out to go shopping.

Xia Liang was quite used to this. He had just accompanied Su Yi the other day, so it was only fair. Today, he had to make it up to Tong Dongnuan.

"Welcome." A sales associate greeted them with a wide smile as they entered.

Hm? What a lovely couple... the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful. They're a real feast for the eyes. Admiring them inwardly greatly improved her mood. "May I ask what kind of clothes you two are looking for?"

At her words, Tong Dongnuan suddenly became shy and couldn't speak. Xia Liang was puzzled. Why was she getting so timid all of a sudden? They were just buying some clothes together.

The sales associate was also a little confused. "So, miss, what kind of clothes would you like to buy?"

Finally, Tong Dongnuan bit her lip and managed to say, "We... we'd like to buy a matching couple's outfit."

Holy crap! Xia Liang couldn't help but widen his eyes. Who would have thought that the once fearless Tong Dongnuan would get like this, blushing just from buying a matching outfit?

Seeing her shy expression, the sales associate couldn't help but smile faintly. They're so sweet... she thought to herself, filled with envy.

"Of course. Please, follow me this way."

She led them over and began introducing the various styles of couple's outfits in the store that were perfect for young lovers. Tong Dongnuan frowned, deep in thought.
