"Knock, knock, knock..."

Su Yue, who was filling the kettle with water in the kitchen, immediately stopped when she heard the knocking from the entryway. She placed the kettle on the stove, then hurried toward the door.

"Click."

When she opened the door, a courier in his twenties stood outside, holding a package.

"Miss Su, your delivery is here," the courier said with a smile.

"Sorry for the trouble." Su Yue accepted the package and thanked him.

"Miss Su, I pressed your doorbell just now, but I didn't hear it ring. Is your doorbell broken?"

The courier handled all the deliveries in Su Yue's residential complex and was fairly familiar with her, so he brought up the matter of the doorbell.

"I don't know yet whether it's broken. I'll check it in a moment." Su Yue smiled. Then, seeing the courier leave, she closed the door.

In the living room, Lin Li watched Su Yue walk in carrying the kettle in her left hand and the package in her right. He asked curiously,

"What did you buy online?"

Su Yue placed the kettle on the coffee table. She squatted down, opened one of its drawers, and took out a pair of scissors as she answered Lin Li,

"I didn't buy anything. This package was sent to me by my mother..."

"Oh." Lin Li nodded, then watched Su Yue cut open the package with the scissors.

The sharp scissors easily sliced through the outer wrapping, revealing an exquisitely crafted box before Su Yue.

When she opened the box, Su Yue found a bright red dress inside.

"Your mother sent you a dress. That color is really vivid," Lin Li said.

"I'm going to try it on..." Su Yue immediately stood up and left the living room. Before long, she returned.
