Chapter 815 - Gloves (1/2)
“What a nice day it is today!” After lunchtime ended, Yuan Zhou carried a chair out of the restaurant and prepared to sculpt his blocks of ice.
The consistently cloudy Chengdu became sunny today. The sunshine felt warm on his body. Besides, it wasn’t dazzling and was of perfect temperature.
“It’s really not bad to sculpt in the sun.” The complexion on Yuan Zhou’s face became milder. Meanwhile, he took a look at the crowd that surrounded to watch the lively scene on the street.
That’s right. The onlookers were a little more than those in normal times recently as Yuan Zhou had suddenly changed the sculpture material recently. Also because of the unfinished work of “Two Dragons Chasing A Pearl” last time, they were still waiting for him to complete the other dragon.
“Will Boss Yuan continue sculpting that dragon until it’s completely finished?”
“I’ve already posted the video on the Internet. Many net citizens asked me for the latter part in the comments area.
“Yeah, I also posted the video and conveniently obtained hundreds of likes.”
“Exactly. Boss Yuan has long been very popular on the Internet, not only because of the ice sculpture.”
The people who said that were mostly those regular customers and the vendors who ran a business at the side. These people liked coming to watch Yuan Zhou sculpt whenever they were free.
After all, the moment when Yuan Zhou sculpted was quite enjoyable to them.
Suddenly, a girl came up from behind. She squeezed into the crowd of people when they were surrounding to watch the scene while discussing in whispers for fear of disturbing Yuan Zhou.
The girl was very young. Her hair was neatly tied in a bun and her bright and clean forehead was bare. Nevertheless, she was plain-looking and gave people a sense of familiarity. She was dressed in a white long-sleeved shirt and a grey coat as well simple black pants with a pair of white small leather shoes. Besides that, she held a big box in her hand.
Her whole person looked relaxed and refreshing. She walked straight towards where Yuan Zhou got seated.
“Huh? Who’s that?” After she passed through the crowds, somebody suddenly realized and said that.
The girl had begun to talk with Yuan Zhou when the onlookers gazed at each other.
However, the onlookers didn’t stay close to them and thus couldn’t hear them clearly. And that was also the reason why they discussed at the beginning.
After all, Yuan Zhou couldn’t hear them whisper at this distance. But at the same time, they couldn’t hear Yuan Zhou and that girl talk, either.
The girl didn’t really care about the onlookers’ thoughts. She looked at the door without a shop sigh and then at Yuan Zhou and finally said, “May I ask if you are Boss Yuan?”
Yuan Zhou looked at the girl and then searched his memory earnestly. He didn’t answer her until he confirmed that he really didn’t know her, “Yes, I am.”
“Somebody asked me to bring this thing to you.” Seeing Yuan Zhou nod his head, the girl immediately took up the box in her hand and handed to him.
However, the girl appeared quite earnest when she handed the box to Yuan Zhou. The faint smile on his face was gone and there appeared a serious expression, instead. She handed the box to Yuan Zhou with her two hands.
“Thank you. Sorry to trouble you,” Yuan Zhou stood up and received the box with his hands and then said.
“You are welcome.” The girl shook her head.
The box was grey and looked to be of good texture. With dark stripes on the surface, the box was approximately as wide as a 17″ laptop bag and had a height of 25cm. However, it wasn’t heavy at all.
“Can I have a look?” Yuan Zhou asked with a puzzled look on his face.
“Sure, of course you can.” The girl nodded her head, “I was told to give it to you.”
“Hua Hua”. The box wasn’t difficult to open. Yuan Zhou untied a black ribbon and directly removed the cover of the box.
“This is..?” The suspicion and surprise on Yuan Zhou’s face became more obvious.
Because it was a pair of gloves in the box. More specifically, it was a pair of old and familiar boxing gloves.
