Beautiful Woman, You Have Another Express Delivery! (GL) - Chapter 1

“Unit 1, Building 3, Room 302… Mr. Huang…” Liu Shuhan sat astride her small electric scooter, carefully discerning the handwriting on the express delivery slip. Tied to the back seat of the scooter was a large sack piled up like a small mountain.

It was midsummer, and high noon. The clamor of cicadas hurt the ears, and the temperature of the ground surface was nearly roasting people dry. Even though Liu Shuhan was hiding in the shade of a tree, a circle of sweat still broke out on her delicate nose.

That’s right, Liu Shuhan was a delivery driver, the only female one in her area.

Liu Shuhan was quite good-looking, especially her round, apricot-shaped eyes, which looked at everyone as if they held a pool of water—a lovable young girl. No one would expect her to do a job as tiring and thankless as express delivery, but she not only became a delivery driver but a successful one, even appearing in local media, where she was playfully dubbed the “Beauty Delivery Driver.”

Right now, this “Beauty Delivery Driver” was using the large, old-fashioned company-issued mobile phone to call a customer. “Hello, is this Mr. Huang? You have a delivery… Okay, I’ve left it at the guard station… Okay, okay, goodbye.”

After communicating with the customer, Liu Shuhan turned her scooter around and drove toward the outside of the residential complex.

There was a blind spot at one of the road corners in the complex. Liu Shuhan usually drove this way without issue, but today she was having the worst luck. Just as she turned the corner, there was a loud “Kuang” and she collided head-on with an approaching Volkswagen.

Liu Shuhan was unprepared, and the impact sent her and the scooter flying two or three meters. The large sack tied to the back of the electric scooter was ripped to shreds, and the express packages inside scattered all over the ground. She herself was pinned under the scooter, her limbs stinging from scraping on the scorching hot bricks, and her head was bleeding profusely from hitting the rearview mirror.

“What’s wrong with you? Don’t you have eyes? Do you even know how to look at the road?” The Volkswagen driver was a middle-aged man with a large beer belly. He rushed out of the car angrily. Instead of moving the electric scooter off of Liu Shuhan, he began to curse at her, “This car is brand new, I just bought it today. Do you know how expensive it is? Look at the scratch you put on my car! Can you afford to pay for it? I’m telling you, I’m not done with you!”

The skin on both of Liu Shuhan’s palms was scraped off. Enduring the sharp pain, she struggled to crawl out from under the electric scooter, which made the sedan driver stare intently!

Because clothes are thin in summer, when Liu Shuhan fell, her top was ripped in several places, and the fair, smooth skin underneath was faintly visible in the midday sun, a truly tempting sight.

Liu Shuhan stood up, dizzy and unsteady, swaying a few times to steady herself. Covering the torn fabric on her upper body with both hands, she said with shame and anger, “You pervert! What are you looking at!”

The driver snapped back to reality, a little embarrassed, but seeing that Liu Shuhan was just a young girl, he stuck out his big belly again, pointing at his sedan, his attitude arrogant: “You little brat, you’re quite tough, huh? I’m telling you, you scratched my new car. Don’t even think about leaving today without paying for it!”

“Have you no shame!” Liu Shuhan yelled in anger. “You clearly hit me! I’m being nice by not asking you to pay my medical bills!”

The driver, taking advantage of the fact that Liu Shuhan was a weak girl and there were no pedestrians around in the middle of the day, leaned casually against the car door. “I don’t care about that. You hit my car, so you have to pay!”

“I…” Liu Shuhan was about to argue with him again, when another car drove up behind them. The four rings of an Audi gleamed brightly in the sunlight.

The Audi was blocked by the Volkswagen and stopped, flashing its hazard lights. The driver’s side door opened, and a long leg clad in black nine-tenths length dress pants stepped out. Then, a tall, beautiful woman emerged from the Audi, carrying a black suit jacket in her hand. The beauty had long, straight, waist-length black hair. A pair of sunglasses sat on her high nose bridge, revealing only her sharp jawline and thin lips colored with nude lipstick. Her net height was over 1.75 meters (about 5’9”), so the big-bellied driver had to look up slightly to meet her gaze.

The beauty acted as if she hadn’t seen the taxi driver, walking straight up to Liu Shuhan. She draped the suit jacket in her hand over Liu Shuhan and said softly into her ear, “This is the only piece of clothing I have in the car. You wear it for now.”

Liu Shuhan had never seen such a beautiful woman before. Her eyes were fixed on the person, and she couldn’t register what she was saying.

The person curled the corner of her mouth, curled two fingers of her right hand, and gently tapped Liu Shuhan’s forehead. “Dead wood, come back to life.”

Liu Shuhan was startled by this nickname. She immediately snapped out of her daze. No one had called her that nickname for many years, and the only person who would call her that was…

“Cheng Qiuyi?” Liu Shuhan asked tentatively.

The beauty took off her sunglasses and smiled contentedly. “Not bad, not bad, Dead Wood. It’s a good thing you didn’t forget me.”

Liu Shuhan hadn’t seen Cheng Qiuyi in almost ten years. She was so happy to see her that she forgot her injuries and said excitedly, “Qiuyi, it really is you! Where have you been these past ten years? You didn’t even send me a message! You had me worried sick, you know!”

Liu Shuhan was less than 1.65 meters tall (about 5’5”), and she looked like a child standing in front of Cheng Qiuyi. Cheng Qiuyi naturally stroked her sun-hatted head and said gently, “I’ll tell you later.” Then she turned to look at the Volkswagen driver who had been left ignored for a while.

“Sir, I have recorded the entire process of you hitting my friend. I demand that you immediately compensate my friend for her medical expenses, emotional distress, and lost wages. Of course, if you want to escalate this matter, we are ready to go all the way.”

A smile was still on Cheng Qiuyi’s face, but when the Volkswagen driver met her eyes, he shivered despite the summer heat. He stammered, “You… you people are staging an… an… insurance scam!”

“Bah!” Liu Shuhan was instantly enraged when she heard him speak. “Who was just yelling at me to pay for damages? Qiuyi, you don’t know how arrogant he was just now!” Her already scabbing forehead began to throb faintly again.

Cheng Qiuyi took Liu Shuhan’s wrist and turned her palm up, frowning with distress.

Almost all the skin on Liu Shuhan’s entire palm was scraped off. Bl00d mixed with dust stained the entire palm dark red. Cheng Qiuyi remembered that Liu Shuhan was deathly afraid of pain, crying hysterically even for a flu shot. She wondered how she managed to hold back from crying out.

“Does it hurt?” Cheng Qiuyi asked softly, her slender fingertips stroking her palm.

Only then did Liu Shuhan remember her injuries. She immediately grimaced in pain and said miserably, “What do you think?”

Cheng Qiuyi nodded, and without another word, she walked up to the Volkswagen driver.

“W-What are you doing?” The sudden sense of oppression made the Volkswagen driver involuntarily swallow.

Cheng Qiuyi suddenly raised her leg and delivered a swift kick to the driver’s protruding stomach. The driver, a seemingly 180-pound grown man, was easily sent tumbling several times on the ground by that one light kick. He then curled up on the ground, clutching his stomach, his forehead covered in cold sweat, unable to speak for a long time.

Liu Shuhan, watching from the side, couldn’t help but gulp. Cheng Qiuyi was beautiful, yes, but her fighting power was simply not normal.

Cheng Qiuyi retracted her foot, walked up to the driver, and pressed her heel onto his face. “I will have my lawyer contact your residence to request my friend’s medical fees. I hope you will cooperate then.” After speaking, she took Liu Shuhan’s hand and got into her car.

Only after getting into the car did Liu Shuhan remember her little electric scooter and the express packages still lying on the ground. She was about to get out to retrieve them, but Cheng Qiuyi immediately stopped her. “You’re already badly hurt. Why are you moving around?”

Liu Shuhan anxiously said, “My scooter is still down there! And those packages! If I don’t deliver them today, my wages will be docked!”

Cheng Qiuyi got a headache from her fussing. She pressed the key to lock the car door and called someone, instructing, “A-Zhi, could you come over? I’m at Yayuan Complex. I’ll send you the address later. My friend is in a bit of trouble; could you help her handle the aftermath at the scene? Hmm, goodbye.”

“Now, can you come with me?” Cheng Qiuyi put down the phone and said helplessly to the completely dazed Liu Shuhan.

“Where are we going?” Liu Shuhan was so captivated by Cheng Qiuyi’s beautiful face that she didn’t care about having her wages docked. She would willingly let Cheng Qiuyi sell her off right then and there!

Cheng Qiuyi flicked her forehead again. “To the hospital, of course. Where else can you go with injuries like that? Did you bring your ID card?”

“Yes, yes, I did…”

Cheng Qiuyi was amused by Liu Shuhan’s distracted, silly look. She chuckled and leaned toward Liu Shuhan.

“What are you doing?” Liu Shuhan was shocked.

Cheng Qiuyi’s hand reached over her, grabbed the seatbelt by the window, and clicked it into place for her. “Buckle up, Big Sister. Even if I’m a good driver, you still have to follow traffic rules, right?”

“Oh…” Liu Shuhan’s nostrils were filled with Cheng Qiuyi’s unknown clean fragrance, and her heart pounded rapidly.

At the hospital, Liu Shuhan started howling again. Her wounds were covered in dirt and needed to be washed clean with hydrogen peroxide. The little nurse next to her was already being gentle and careful, but Liu Shuhan was screaming like a pig being slaughtered. Cheng Qiuyi couldn’t stand it. She snatched the hydrogen peroxide from the nurse and started pouring it over Liu Shuhan’s “trotters.”

“Ahhh—I’m dying! Cheng Qiuyi! This is murder! Murder—!” Liu Shuhan screamed up at the ceiling, making all the little children on the floor cry loudly.

“This is called short-term pain for long-term gain,” Cheng Qiuyi said after cleaning her “pig trotters.” She then spoke kindly to the little nurse, “It’s fine now, Miss Nurse. Please put the medicine on her.”

The little nurse shivered. This beautiful Jie-jie (older sister) was too terrifying…

After the medicine was applied, Liu Shuhan slumped on the hospital chair. Only then did she remember to ask, “Qiuyi, why did you leave without a word back then, and why haven’t you contacted me all these years?”
