"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 .
This pair of gloves consisted of three colors, black, red and white . The part at the wrist was red while the logo on the gloves was white . The logo was an English word "Reyes", which was supposed to be the brand of the gloves .
There had been obvious abrasions at the part of the knuckles of the gloves . And the thumb of the gloves was also severely damaged . The black surface was quite badly damaged, which revealed the white color under the surface .
However, that pair of boxing gloves with such severe damage was nevertheless kept very clean . It could be obviously seen that the owner must have taken good care of the gloves .
"A man called Song An told me to give it to you, Boss Yuan," the girl said softly .
"To me?" Yuan Zhou was originally a little dumbfounded . The name of Song An wasn't familiar to him . Instead, it sounded quite strange .
Once he heard the words, Yuan Zhou felt uncomfortable . He instantly lifted his head and gaze at the girl . Then, as if obtaining an answer, he quickly lowered his head .
"He is a boxer . " The girl nodded her head and added .
"A boxer . " Yuan Zhou repeated the two words once with a look of astonishment .
The memories connected . The boxing gloves and the boxer who often got wounded on the face . However, he had never mentioned his own name to others .
"Yes . He said he wanted to put the gloves in your restaurant . And he also said there are many interesting customers in this restaurant . " The girl nodded her head and then said, "He said he was quite grateful for the existence of this restaurant . "
"Ah, okay . I will take care of them for him . He can come to fetch them whenever he's free . " Yuan Zhou's heart suddenly trembled when he touched the gloves . He raised his head abruptly and said decisively .
"But he …" When the girl heard that, she thought she hadn't made herself understood . Thinking of the things she was instructed, she immediately opened her mouth and prepared to tell him clearly .
However, she hadn't got started when Yuan Zhou interrupted her, "All right . I get it . Sorry for bothering you to pass me the gloves . I will take good care of them . "
Though there wasn't any change on Yuan Zhou's face, Yuan Zhou had interrupted a girl's utterance so rudely for the very first time . Besides, his voice was quite loud .
He lowered his head and took a look at the gloves in the box . Even the usual calmness vanished from Yuan Zhou's face . He raised his head and covered the box heavily and after that, he looked at the girl .
"Okay . I'm leaving now . " The girl was stupefied first when she was interrupted . But when she found Yuan Zhou lowered his head and sounded a little sorrowful as if he had understood something, she stopped to nod her head and say goodbye to him .
"Thank you for bringing this to me . I will treat you to water next time . Goodbye . " Yuan Zhou nodded his head . He waited until the girl turned around and also turned around and went back to his restaurant .
With the box held in his arms, Yuan Zhou stood like a pole and stayed put for a few seconds . Then, he put it on the flower rack at the side and placed it neatly . The next moment, however, he felt it inappropriate and thus changed several places .
However, he still didn't find a place that he felt appropriate eventually . Therefore, he had no choice but put it on the dining table temporarily . Then, he turned around and closed the door of the restaurant .
The door obstructed all sunlight . Standing in the tiny restaurant where it suddenly became dark, Yuan Zhou didn't turn on the light at once habitually . Instead, he stood there for about ten seconds and then went upstairs with the box in his arms .
"Ta Ta Ta" . The restaurant was as quiet as always, leaving only Yuan Zhou's footsteps echoing in the room .
Just in a little while, Yuan Zhou went back to his own room on the second floor and put the box in his hand on the desk .
Yuan Zhou was seated in front of the desk . He stared blankly as if to be in a daze and no one knew what he was thinking about at that moment .
The onlookers outside nevertheless didn't know why Yuan Zhou behaved like that .
"Meow Meow Meow? What's going on?", "Why did Boss Yuan go inside and even close the restaurant?", "What did that girl say to Boss Yuan?", "I don't care about that . I just want to know what happened to Boss Yuan? He didn't look good . "
After all, Yuan Zhou had never behaved like that . The series of actions just now seemed to be out of bewilderment .
If Sun Ming were there, he might be able to recognize that kind of bewilderment . It was similar to his actions when he got to know about his parents' death years ago .
Yuan Zhou got seated in front of the desk in his own room silently…
