Chapter 309: Express Delivery in the Imperial Capital

Imperial Capital.

Wanhe Garden.

The morning of late May couldn't be called scorching yet, but an awning had already been set up in the rooftop garden. The morning sun spilled in from the side, shining brightly on the lush flowers.

On the left was a large pot of Endless Summer hydrangeas interwoven with light blue and pink, and on the right were clusters of Kaleidoscope hydrangeas interwoven with pink and purple.

And on both sides of the awning were pots of blooming roses; the pure flowers of the yellow Lady Banks rose were layered and swaying in the wind, and the air was filled with a clear fragrance.

It was truly an open-air garden.

And through the simple glass door of the open-air garden, one could see in the gym on one side, a young man wearing a black t-shirt, with his elbows bent and supporting the ground, feet on the ground, shoulders and elbows perpendicular to the ground, maintaining a steady plank.

If not for the slightly rapid breathing and the sweat drops falling, an outsider wouldn't know how difficult this movement was.

Sweat slid slowly down his forehead and finally fell onto the mat with a "plop."

Just then, the phone on the side vibrated.

The man then stood up from the mat.

He had thick black eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and a small black mole in the very center of his forehead. His hair was a simple crew cut, which made him look even more sharp and refreshing.

But once he turned his head, one could see the burn marks on his left temple, cheek, and head. Even his hair looked patchy.

It was Lu Chuan.

He calmed his breathing slightly and then answered the phone: "Hello."

On the phone was the familiar voice of the express delivery guy: "Mr. Lu, there's a package for you here, are you home?"

"Yes, I am."

"Alright! Then I'll send it over in a while!"

Lu Chuan realized belatedly that he hadn't bought anything recently, but since it was Fengfeng Express, it was highly likely that...

He hung up the phone and stood there, unable to help but smile, his black eyes full of expectation.

To this day, he didn't regret using his explosive power to drag the little girl out of the car with difficulty and blocking that injury for her.

Because in these few months, he had felt enough sincerity and gratitude from the other party.

Fengfeng Express took about an hour to arrive at his door after every call. Lu Chuan looked at the time and simply went into the bathroom.

The water flowed and washed over him. He turned his head inadvertently and discovered the marks on his shoulder—

Seemed to have faded a bit?

If he said he didn't care about his face, that would be a lie, but he often thought of the girl whose eyes were as bright as stars; it was better on his face than on a girl's face.

As for the ones on his body... except for being slightly careful when scrubbing, he really hadn't paid much attention to them at other times.

Seeing those hideous scars too much also affected his mood. But now, just looking at them inadvertently, it seemed like something was really different?

He couldn't help but turn his head to look carefully—it wasn't an illusion; it really seemed to have lightened a bit.

But... it could also be that his memory had beautified it.

This change was too subtle, and he really couldn't be sure, so he had to put his doubts aside for now and wait until his follow-up check to ponder it.

As for the things sent by the other party...

Although he had already eaten breakfast, he seemed to have started getting hungry again.

The water rushed and washed away the sweat on his body, and also raised his expectations to the max.

Half an hour later, because he had been waiting for the express delivery for a long time, he even cleaned the house again. He went to the open-air garden and cut a large bunch of light yellow Cream Abundance roses and put them in a vase, only then did he wait for the door to be knocked.

The express delivery guy was already very familiar with him, and at this moment, holding the box, he smiled casually: "What did you buy? It's from that village again."

Lu Chuan originally only intended to say "nothing much," but he remembered the enthusiastic state of the other party when they chatted daily on his small account...

So he smiled and said: "Some local farm specialties, they are the most delicious things I've ever eaten, so I often repurchase them."

The express delivery guy was already used to his reticence; usually, when delivering packages, it was at most "thank you," "sorry for the trouble," or "thank you for your hard work." If it was a large item, the other party might even hand over two pieces of fruit or a bottle of drink.

Now that the other party suddenly said such a long sentence, it seemed like they were quite close, which made him feel a bit embarrassed—I have such a good relationship with the customer, and I took his drink last time?

He subconsciously scratched his head and smiled: "Is that so? What does she sell? You have my WeChat, right? Can you push it to me later?"

Saying this, he felt a bit embarrassed: "My wife is pregnant, I want to see if there's anything she can eat."

When this was said, the expression on Lu Chuan's face became joyful, as if he were sincerely happy for him.

"Congratulations."

He said sincerely.

The express delivery guy was infected by his emotions and also laughed foolishly, only remembering after a long time: "Here's the box for you, it's big but not too heavy."

After the person left, Lu Chuan quickly took the box; it was indeed not heavy.

What could it be?

He already couldn't help but want to drink a cup of tea.

Until he tore open the plastic film, Lu Chuan's eyes lit up: Chili sauce?!

A full six bottles! Heavens! The little girl is really... is she afraid he won't have food to eat?

Then his expression became hesitant again.

Because the doctor said he shouldn't eat spicy and stimulating food, especially since he could often feel numbness and itching recently, as if his skin was still growing.

But it had been several months, and he had given up on skin grafting; eating a little bit shouldn't be a problem, right?

Anyway, whether the scars were deep or shallow didn't make much difference to him.

He made a decision, roughly set the menu for lunch, and continued to unpack.

—It was a large bag of yellowish silver ear fungus.

Reaching out to grab a handful, it was light, dry, and hard, carrying a unique scent after being sun-dried, making him eager to boil it.

Although he didn't have a great preference for sweet things, who wouldn't like things from the little girl's home?

Until he rummaged to the very bottom, he discovered that inside were things wrapped layer by layer in plastic bags, exceptionally tight, and light.

Lu Chuan frowned and simply opened it to see; inside was a large pile of golden, fine, and broken...

Tobacco shreds?

He was dumbfounded.

He didn't smoke, and besides, would young people today use tobacco shreds even if they smoked?

The little girl is really...

He thought about it in his heart and found that he couldn't remember what the other party looked like, only knowing that the other party went home to farm and raise dogs, and lived a very happy life.

Well, let's just assume she's a simple, down-to-earth, and very capable rural girl.

He truly felt this gratitude of doing her best and the sincerity of giving whatever she had.

He rolled up the plastic bag again, intending to find a place to store it properly, but then remembered something. He simply took out a dish, grabbed a small cluster of golden, fine tobacco shreds, placed them on it, and put it in the corner of the bedroom.

A unique scent of grass and trees lingered faintly.

Tobacco shreds repel mosquitoes; the effect was still worth a try. ===== CHAPTER 310 =====
