At that moment, the doorbell rang at the Zhao Family's residence.
"Coming, coming!" Aunt Liu's loud voice could be heard even by the person standing at the door.
With a creak, the door opened, revealing a girl in a floral dress standing gracefully before Aunt Liu.
Seeing that it was a young girl, Aunt Liu's tone softened considerably. After all, girls were different from those rough men. "Hello, may I ask who you are looking for?"
The girl hesitated for a moment before finally speaking up. "Is Zhao Lun home?"
"Classmate?"
"Oh, you’re his classmate! Come in and sit down. It’s not good to stand at the door. Zhao Lun is out with his parents for a banquet; I don’t know when he’ll be back."
Upon hearing that Zhao Lun was not home, a hint of disappointment flashed in the girl's eyes. "It's okay, Auntie. Since Zhao Lun isn't home, I'll just look for him at school tomorrow. Could you please pass this on to him?"
Aunt Liu didn’t immediately take the beautifully wrapped gift box from the girl. When she saw that the box wasn’t accepted, the girl quickly shoved it into Aunt Liu’s hands and dashed away.
"Kids these days are too mature," Aunt Liu thought to herself. She had an inkling of what was going on but remembered Old Zhao's warning: no matter who came to the house with something, they had to be careful. So she placed the gift box in a corner by the door, deciding to wait until Zhao Lun returned to confirm it before bringing it inside.
It was no wonder Aunt Liu hesitated to accept it; after all, Old Zhao was an Underworld Boss. Who knew if an enemy might show up with something dangerous? That could lead to serious trouble.
At that moment, I was already asleep in the car, and by the time I woke up, we were at home.
"Xiao Lun, wake up! We're home," Ke Hong gently called out.
As I opened my eyes, I saw Ke Hong smiling at me.
In the moonlight, her figure appeared particularly striking.
"Mom."
"Alright, wake up now. Let’s go home and wash up before you sleep again."
Hearing this, I rubbed my sleepy eyes and got out of the car, heading towards the front door. As I passed by, I noticed a beautifully packaged gift box at the entrance. I wondered who had given something to Old Zhao this time and didn’t think much of it.
Over time, similar items had often appeared at our doorstep. When I was younger and didn’t understand, I thought they contained some strange treasures. One time when I was about to open one of them, Old Zhao suddenly appeared behind me and slapped my hand away from the gift box with an angry warning: "If you see anything like this at our door again, don’t touch it!"
Tomorrow was Monday and I had classes to attend. I opened the front door and headed straight upstairs, planning to wash up casually before going to bed.
As I walked, I pulled out my phone to check the time; it was already late and there were several unread messages.
Aunt Liu: "Xiao Lun, there’s a small gift box on the left side outside the door; it should be from your classmate. Don’t forget to take it!"
Aunt Liu remarked, "That girl looks quite pretty, and with our Xiao Lun being so handsome, they would make a great match. But for now, he should focus on his studies."
After reading those two messages, I planned to take another look in the morning before heading out, thinking there probably wasn't much inside anyway.
As I was halfway through taking off my clothes, a sudden realization hit me! A girl! A female!?
Without a moment's hesitation, I scrambled towards the door, not caring that my shirt was still hanging around my neck. This kind of thing was always opened by Old Zhao himself. If what Aunt Liu said was true, then it was likely filled with love letters or something similar.
If Old Zhao saw this, I might as well find another planet to live on.
All I could do was hope that Old Zhao hadn't opened it yet or that he hadn't noticed the gift box at the door.
