Imperial capital.
Wanhe Garden.
The early morning in late May was not too hot, but the sunshade had already been set up in the open-air garden on the rooftop. The early morning sun shone in from the side, shining on the lush flowers.
On the left is a large pot of hydrangeas with light blue and pink interwoven into Endless Summer, and on the right is a kaleidoscope of pink and purple interwoven into clusters.
On both sides of the awning, there are pots of roses in full bloom. The pure flowers of the osmanthus fragrans are stacked layer upon layer, swaying in the wind, and the air is filled with fragrance.
It's like an open-air garden.
Through the simple glass door of the open-air garden, you can see a young man in a black T-shirt in the gym on one side, with his elbows bent and supported on the ground, his feet on the ground, his shoulders and elbows perpendicular to the ground, maintaining a steady plank position.
If it weren't for the slightly rapid breathing and beads of sweat, an outsider would have no idea how difficult this movement was.
Sweat trickled down his forehead and finally landed on the mat with a plop.
Just then, the cell phone next to him vibrated.
The other party then stood up from the mat.
He has thick black eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and a small black mole right in the middle of his forehead. His hair is a simple crew cut, but it makes him look more dignified and refreshing.
But once he turned his head, he could see the burn marks on his left temple, cheek and head. Even his hair looked mottled.
It was Lu Chuan.
He calmed his breath and answered the phone: "Hello."
The voice on the phone was a familiar courier boy's: "Mr. Lu, I have a package for you here, are you home?"
"Here I am."
"Okay! I'll send it to you later!"
Lu Chuan realized it later. He hadn't bought anything recently, but since it was delivered by Fengfeng Express, it was probably...
He hung up the phone, stood there, and couldn't help but smile, his black eyes full of anticipation.
To this day, he has no regrets about using his explosive strength to drag the little girl out of the car and protect her from the injury.
Because in these few months, he has felt the other party's sincerity and gratitude.
Fengfeng Express would take about half an hour to arrive at the door after every phone call. Lu Chuan looked at the time and simply went into the bathroom.
The water rushed past him, and he turned his head inadvertently, only to find the marks on his shoulder.
Seems a little lighter
It is impossible to say that he does not care about his face, but he often thinks of the girl with eyes as bright as stars. It is always better to have her on his face than on a girl's face.
As for the body... apart from paying a little attention when scrubbing the body, I really don't pay much attention to it at other times.
Seeing those hideous scars too often really affected his mood. But now, just a casual glance, it seemed that something was different
He couldn't help but turn his head to take a closer look - it was not an illusion, it seemed to have really eased a little.
But...it could also be that my memory is embellished.
The change was too subtle and he couldn't be sure. He had to put his doubts aside for now and think about it again when he checked again.
As for the things they sent...
Although he had already eaten breakfast, he seemed to be hungry again.
The rushing water washed away the sweat on his body and also raised his expectations even more.
Half an hour later, because he had been waiting for a long time for the express delivery, he even cleaned the house again. He went to the open-air garden to cut a large bunch of pale yellow cream lonza and put it in the vase, and then waited for the knock on the door.
The courier boy was already familiar with him. He smiled at him while holding the box: "What did you buy? It was sent from this village again."
Lu Chuan was just going to say it was nothing, but he remembered the enthusiastic state of the little girl when he chatted with her in his trumpet...
So he smiled and said, "Some of the local specialties from the farm are the best I've ever tasted, so I often buy them back."
The courier has long been accustomed to his silence. When delivering parcels, he would at most say "thank you", "thank you for the trouble", "hard work" and so on. If the parcel is large, the other party might also give him two fruits or a bottle of drink.
Now the other party suddenly said such a long sentence, as if he had a very close relationship with someone, which made him feel a little embarrassed - I have such a good relationship with the customer, why did I take his drink last time
He scratched his head and smiled subconsciously: "Really? What does he sell? You have my WeChat, right? Can you send it to me later?"
Then he said a little embarrassedly: "My wife is pregnant, I want to see if there is anything she can eat."
As soon as he said this, Lu Chuan's face lit up with joy, as if he was genuinely happy for him.
"Congratulations."
He said sincerely.
The delivery guy was infected by his emotions and laughed foolishly at this moment. It took him a long time to remember: "The box is for you. It's big but not too heavy."
As soon as the others left, Lu Chuan quickly took the box and found that it was indeed not heavy.
What is it
He could not resist the urge to have a cup of tea.
It wasn't until he removed the plastic film that Lu Chuan's eyes lit up: Chili sauce?!
There are six bottles! My God! The little girl is really... Are you worried that he won't have food to eat
Then he looked hesitant again.
Because the doctor said that he should not eat spicy food, especially recently he often feels numb and itchy, as if the skin is still growing.
But it has been several months and I have given up on skin grafting. It should be okay to eat a little, right
Anyway, whether the scar is deeper or shallower, it doesn’t matter to him.
He made a decision and decided on a rough lunch menu before moving on to the next step.
—It’s a big bag of slightly yellow white fungus.
He reached out and grabbed a handful. It was light, dry and hard, with a unique smell of being exposed to the sun. He couldn't wait to use it to boil.
Although I don’t have a strong preference for sweet food, who wouldn’t like something for a little girl
When I got to the bottom, I found something extremely light and tightly wrapped in layers of plastic bags.
Lu Chuan frowned and simply opened it to see that there was a huge pile of golden and tiny pieces inside...
cut tobacco
He was speechless.
He doesn't smoke, and what's more, young people nowadays don't use tobacco even if they smoke, right
The little girl is really...
He thought about it and found that he could no longer remember what the other person looked like. He only knew that he went home to grow vegetables and raise a dog and lived a happy life.
Well, let’s just think of her as a simple, down-to-earth, hardworking and honest girl from the countryside.
He truly felt the gratitude of doing his best and the sincerity of giving whatever he had.
He rolled up the plastic bag again and was about to find a place to store it, but then he remembered something. He simply took out a plate, grabbed a small ball of golden tobacco, put it on the plate, and placed it in the corner of the bedroom.
A unique scent of grass and trees lingers in the air.
Tobacco is effective in repelling mosquitoes, so it is worth a try.
