Delivery Guy

Chu Lian, who had just thought of getting up, received a phone call. She frowned, thought for a moment, and then opened her phone and pressed the answer button. The next moment, a pleasant male voice came through: "Is this Chu Lian? There's a package for you. Could you come down and get it?"

"A package? When did I order a package? Hmm..." Chu Lian was puzzled when she heard it was a delivery, but then she remembered. "Oh, I am Chu Lian. Please wait a moment; I'll be right down."

She almost forgot that a few days ago she had asked someone to buy some cosplay outfits in Japan. This package should be the clothes she ordered. The reason she didn't realize it immediately was because she didn't expect to receive it so quickly.

After releasing her first video work, she mentioned that she would post a set of cosplay photos soon. However, these days had been so busy that the second video was already widely circulated online, and she still hadn't taken the photos.

It wasn't that she forgot, but the clothes she ordered hadn't arrived yet, so she had to keep postponing it. Originally, she could have bought them online directly, but she couldn't find any styles she liked, so she had to ask someone to buy them from a famous anime merchandise shop in Japan.

"Ah, I got lost in thought again. I need to hurry up; the delivery guy must have been waiting for a while."

As she thought about it, she realized that three minutes had already passed since the delivery guy called. He must be getting impatient.

Without worrying about her lace nightgown that exposed her fair and jade-like legs, she stepped out of the house, put on slippers, and ran downstairs.

"Why isn't she here yet? It's already been three minutes. Should I call again?" A handsome young man sitting in the passenger seat asked the good-looking young man leaning against the car door, smiling.

"Su, can't you be more considerate? Being in the delivery business requires patience. From her voice, she seems to be just a little girl who hasn't grown up yet. It's understandable that she's a bit slow. We're not in a hurry, so let's not disturb her repeatedly," the good-looking young man lectured without turning his head.

"Alright, alright, alright, Qing Yun, you're just like that electromagnetic guy, being extremely patient with women. No wonder both of you are still single," Su impatiently picked his ear with his pinky. His last sentence hit Qing Yun where it hurt, making his previously straight posture stiffen.

"Being patient with the opposite sex is normal. As long as it's not the kind of woman who makes you want to slap her as soon as you see her, there's no need to be so particular. Besides, we've been instructed to ensure this package is delivered on time," Qing Yun's previously firm voice suddenly became low and feeble.

Su looked at Qing Yun's back and curled his lip, "Stubborn guy. You obviously like her but never confess, leading to both of you being like this. What's the point? Tsk tsk. Let me think about how to help them. They've been single for so many years; it's not good to stay single forever."

He only dared to mumble to himself like this; he definitely didn't dare to say it out loud. Because if he really did, the other person would immediately put everything down and chase him to the ends of the earth. For his own safety, it's better not to talk too much.

"Alright, I won't say more. I'll wait with you." After saying this, Su shut his mouth and leisurely played on his phone. He was watching the video of Chu Lian's performance from yesterday afternoon.

Qing Yun, hearing his voice, wanted to say something, but at that moment, the front door opened, and a petite and exquisite figure walked out. She raised her small head and looked at him, asking, "Are you the delivery guys?"

"What a delicate and cute little girl!" Because Chu Lian's hair was a bit messy, and she was wearing traditional sleepwear, her appearance was quite different from the video. So Qing Yun only felt she was familiar but didn't recognize her.

"Are you Miss Chu Lian? This is your package, please take it." Qing Yun came back to his senses, pointed to the box at his feet, and said to Chu Lian with a smile.

"Oh, thank you, big brother. Could you help me carry it in?" Chu Lian cheered happily upon hearing this, then looked at her hands and the large box, blushing slightly as she asked Qing Yun for help.

That adorable expression instantly melted Qing Yun's heart, and he nodded involuntarily. "I knew big brother was the best, arigato..." Chu Lian smiled with her eyes narrowed and said cheerfully to him.

"It's our duty, please open the door." Qing Yun's face was almost glowing with happiness as he held the box and spoke to Chu Lian.

"Okay, follow me, big brother..." Chu Lian seemed to remember she hadn't opened the door yet, so she quickly walked over and opened the door she had just closed, letting Qing Yun follow her inside.

In the living room, her parents were sitting on the sofa watching TV. When they heard the sound of the door opening, they turned their heads to see a tall figure carrying a large box, following behind Chu Lian.

"This is my package. I need to take it to my room, so I asked him to help me carry it." Chu Lian turned back to her parents, smiled, and pointed to Qing Yun as she spoke. Then, without saying anything more, she started heading upstairs.

"Oh, my little Lian'er has grown up. She even knows how to shop online now. My poor motherly heart aches, I can't hold you like before anymore..." Chu Lian's mother looked at her back, her face drooping as she mumbled to herself.

"You've seen the changes in her over the past while. It's normal for her to learn how to shop. She can make her own money, so we don't need to worry about her. It's good to raise her well now so that she won't be overly materialistic in the future. Just let her be." Her father, who had been holding a newspaper the whole time, replied calmly.

"But I really want to hold her like before, when she wasn't sick. She's so soft! Holding her is so comfortable..." Obviously, her mother was a deep Chu Lian fan. Hearing her husband's words, she grumbled discontentedly.

Compared to Chu Chu, their youngest daughter, and Chu Kei, their eldest, who both liked to stick to Chu Lian, neither of them liked sticking to her mother as much as Chu Lian did before she got sick. After her illness, Chu Lian became like the other two, making her mother quite sad.

Knowing his wife's personality well, the father sighed and said, "Alright, stop pretending to be pitiful. Every time you bring up something like this, it's because you want to buy something. So, what do you want this time?"

The father's words instantly brightened the mother's face. She shouted happily, "You're the best, honey! I knew you'd agree to buy me something. Since Lian'er bought something, I want to buy too! I want to buy this..."

Not far away, Chu Lian, who had just seen the conflicted Qing Yun out the door, looked at her mother selling cute expressions to get what she wanted and couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.

"I didn't see anything. I didn't hear anything. Let's go, Su." Qing Yun muttered to himself as he got into the driver's seat. He said to Su, who was still playing on his phone, and then started the van, driving away.

Clearly, Chu Lian's mother acting cute to buy things had left quite an impression on him. It wasn't that he had any opinions about her mother, but seeing how loving they still were after so many years together made him feel a bit sad about his own situation.

"Feeling down? Seems like seeing others show affection hit a nerve. If you really feel that way, just go confess. Every time you almost say it but then stop, no wonder you're still single." Su curled his lips and ranted internally.

The scenery outside the window flashed by his eyes. What about the days before and the life ahead? Would he always be alone? But the person he liked, would she accept him? Probably not, who would like someone like him...

His heart fell into confusion once again.

Suddenly, Su's voice broke his thoughts, "Chu Lian?! That was Chu Lian just now!"

But he had realized too late; the car had already driven far from Chu Lian's house. He could only wait for the next time...

At this moment, Chu Lian was standing in her room, holding a pair of scissors, looking at the large box in front of her, and silently praying, "Please don't let it be a seller's show, I need a buyer's show, or things will get complicated."

After praying for a while, Chu Lian opened the package. In an instant, the items she had purchased were displayed before her eyes.
