Chapter 324: Bread and Milk

The next day, he returned to where he stayed. He wanted to go to the 13rd floor but he went to the 15th floor for some reason. The 15th floor was a very quiet floor, almost as if no one was staying there. His feet gave soft clicking noises. He walked over and stood at Yan Huan’s door. He knew for a fact that there wasn’t anyone around but he still knocked at the door.

But no matter what, the results were the same; Yan Huan wasn’t around.

He turned around and walked back. If someone saw, they would have noticed that Attorney Lu’s shoulder was a little droopy. It was bringing him towards something known as loneliness.

The loneliness was a killer.

13rd floor. This was his floor and his house. A place where he could work and sleep. He didn’t feel much about it in the past, almost as if that was all to his life. The same schedule day in, day out till he leaves this world.

“Knock knock…”

There was a knocking from outside.

Lu Yi stood up before opening the door. There was a young man wearing huge red clothes.

“Hi, are you Lu Yi, Mr Lu?”

The red shirt man asked with uncertainty.

“Yes,” Lu Yi nodded. “I am Lu Yi.”

“Hi,” The man smiled again before taking a bottle of milk and placing it in front of him. “This is the milk you have ordered, please sign here.”

“The milk I ordered?”

“Yes, you ordered it, that’s right.” The person who sent the milk was 100% sure. The location was right, the floor was right, even the name was right. Of course, the number too. He passed the address and number to Lu Yi to take a look. “A Ms Yan ordered it. The money has been paid for and there will be two bottles a day. I will come around 730am in the morning and 6pm in the evening to send the milk. If you aren’t around, I will place them directly outside your door. The milk was taken right from the milk station and it is guaranteed fresh. It has been pasteurised and even babies can drink from it directly. It doesn’t need to be heated again.”

“If there is nothing else, Mr Lu, can you help me to sign it?”

The milk delivery boy passed Lu Yi a pen.

Lu Yi took over the pen and signed his name on it. He took a closer look at the order. It was a 6 months order, twice a day, every day.

He closed the door and brought the milk to the kitchen. He then placed it into a microwave and heated it directly.

Yeap, that was what it says at the top. It could be drunk once heated.

He opened the microwave and took out the milk. It was fine and wasn’t too hot.

He opened the cap and sat on the sofa to drink the milk. It wasn’t bad and even had a slight sweetness to it. Of course, it had the natural flavour of milk too.

His phone sounded and he brought it up. He smiled after taking a look at it. The milk seemed to have gotten sweeter after a few minutes.

There was a new notification on his phone. It was from Yan Huan.

I have ordered half a year of milk for you. Remember, heat it before drinking. You must drink it every day.

Lu Yi held the milk in one hand as he replied to the message.

The milk is delicious. Thanks.

Just as he placed down the phone, his phone started wailing again. Words flashed continuously on the screen: Lei Qingyi. Lu Yi answered the call and placed it at his ear. Just as the call connected, he could hear Lei Qingyi’s shouting voice.

“Lu Yi, I am so damn touched. Do you know Lingling actually bought milk for me? She was afraid that I wouldn’t take my meals properly and ordered milk for me. She made me drink it both in the morning and at night. This milk is a gesture of love from her, how can I bear to drink it?”

“Lu Yi, how can she be so nice to me? Why didn’t I meet her earlier? Even though she looks like a man, I like that. She isn’t soft and fake. She is real and would rather put herself down than others. How can there be such a good woman in this world?”

“Cries, Lu Yi, I am really very touched…”

Lu Yi listened expressionlessly. He placed the milk to his mouth and started drinking it. Again, there was the rich aroma of the milk.

In actual fact, he knew that ordering the milk was Yan Huan’s idea. With Yi Ling’s loud character, she wouldn’t have been able to think of this. Yan Huan was different, she was attentive and was concerned about the details. She could observe things that others couldn’t and think of things that others didn’t. This was why her acting was so good.

Of course, it must matter to her too.

Hence, he was in her heart.

After a bottle of milk, he felt a warm and comfortable feeling in his stomach. It was almost as if he had a good night sleep.

Indeed, he had a very good sleep that night. When he opened his eyes again, it was past seven in the morning.

He wore his clothes and after a shower, he walked to the door again. When he opened it, there was a bottle of milk at the entrance. The milk delivery boy was very understanding and knew that most people would still be sleeping at around seven am. Hence, he didn’t knock and instead, placed the milk outside.

Lu Yi didn’t have the habit of eating breakfast and sometimes, he would go to work straight after waking up. If he was busy, he might even skip all his meals for the day without realising.

He walked into the kitchen and placed the milk in the microwave with a few pieces of bread.

It wasn’t good to drink milk on an empty stomach and it seems like he will need to have milk and bread every morning in the future.

Not long later, he brought out a plate and placed a bottle of milk on the table. He took out today’s newspaper as he ate one mouth of bread followed by a sip of milk. The day felt good.

Not mentioning the rest, he seems to be in high spirits.

“Mr. Lu’s looking good recently,” every colleague in his office realised. He did indeed look good; not that he didn’t in the past and looked weak. On the contrary, he was very healthy but because of all the work he had and the fact that he didn’t take his meals regularly, he didn’t have much shine to his face. Even though he wasn’t skinny, it was very evident that he had a sense of fatigue exuding from him. These few days for some reason, his energy levels are much higher than before

He seemed much more energetic now.
