Reborn in 2006, I met Mr. Zhou from the past.

Chapter 29 Unexpected Gift: Scar Removal Cream

Having received an explanation, Su Fengnan obediently followed behind Zhou Chenyu this time. Zhou Chenyu walked into the alley next to the convenience store, quickly turned right into a courtyard. He took out his key, unlocked the car, opened the door, and took a small white box from the driver's seat.

Standing not far away, Su Fengnan saw that there was indeed something there and breathed a slight sigh of relief. Although her soul was mature, her body was still immature. She had met Zhou Chenyu by chance, but she didn't know him, so she was always wary of the unknown people and things.

While she was thinking, Zhou Chenyu handed the white box to Su Fengnan and said gently, "I thought you might need it, so I asked a friend to send one. I hadn't received your call and thought I'd missed my chance to give it to you."

Su Fengnan was somewhat surprised that Zhou Chenyu was so thoughtful, even considering giving her scar-removing ointment. Her wound had already scabbed over and fallen off, leaving a scar. However, because the scar was on her arm, she hadn't paid much attention to it. This ointment was indeed timely for her; she did care about her appearance, after all.

She stroked the box in her hand, a pleasant smile on her face, and sincerely said, "Thank you."

Besides expressing her gratitude, Su Fengnan didn't know what else to say.

"What are you thanking me for? You've got it wrong, you're the victim here."

Su Fengnan shook her head: "Brother Zhou felt he should do this because I'm the victim. But what girl wants an extra scar? I'm grateful for Brother Zhou's thoughtfulness."

"Well, I'm glad I ran into you today." Zhou Chenyu's lips curled up almost imperceptibly.

Su Fengnan pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed, and quickly said, "Then let's go back."

The two walked together toward the photo studio.

"Hmm...can you tell me why you didn't call me?" Zhou Chenyu asked as she walked away, her smile fading.

"Ah... this..." Su Fengnan stammered. She couldn't possibly say that she hadn't thought about contacting him; she had no idea where she'd put the business card, so how could she contact him?

Su Fengnan lowered her eyes guiltily and slowed her pace. Zhou Chenyu also slowed his pace, watching her actions.

After a few seconds of silence, Su Fengnan stopped and looked up at him seriously, saying, "Didn't you already pay for it? It's just a minor injury, nothing serious, so I didn't want to trouble you."

"Besides, Brother Zhou, there's no need for that. Otherwise, it will only make me seem like I'm pushing my luck."

Zhou Chenyu stopped in time with Su Fengnan. He saw Su Fengnan's guilty conscience and concerns, and then he said these words as if he had made up his mind.

He now wants to get close to the girl and confirm his suspicions.

He could see Su Fengnan's wariness, but so what? A weak little girl couldn't harm him. There was nothing he couldn't achieve if he set his mind to it.

"You're overthinking it." Zhou Chenyu shook her head and walked slowly. "I don't think you're the kind of person who would push your luck."

"If you were like that, you wouldn't have complained about the amount of money I gave you the first time, and you wouldn't have stopped contacting me afterward. You... you're not yours to keep, you wouldn't want that."

He actually wanted to say that, including today, although they weren't exactly close, she was still wary of him and kept her distance. If he hadn't taken the initiative, she probably would have pretended not to know him.

Su Fengnan followed beside him, listening to his words, pursing her lips, feeling a little happy. No one wants to be looked down upon.

"Am I that scary?" Zhou Chenyu suddenly stopped, turned to look at her and asked again.

The topic changed so quickly that Su Fengnan paused for two seconds before reacting, then muttered to herself, "If Brother Zhou looked scary, I guess a lot of people wouldn't be alive."

"Then why didn't you contact me after I gave you my business card? You kept me waiting, and I almost couldn't deliver the medicine." Zhou Chenyu stared at her silently, trying to figure out what excuse she could come up with. "Do you think I'm a bad person?"

She quickly shook her head, afraid of being misunderstood, and didn't dare to hesitate for a second: "No, no, I just... I just felt it was a small matter and there was no need to bother anyone."

Based on his limited understanding of her, this explanation was plausible. But who was Zhou Chenyu? A man who had seen it all, how could he easily believe it? He could tell that the young girl was very wary and even found it troublesome.

"Since you're in such a hurry to explain, I'll believe you this time." Zhou Chenyu knew when to stop. "Let me know when you're done using it, and I'll have someone send you another bottle."

He then handed Su Fengnan a business card, a smile playing on his lips, and said, "Don't lose it this time."

Su Fengnan was speechless, but took the business card and said, "Okay." Since she didn't have a cell phone, she would just wait.

"But Brother Zhou, I don't have a phone to contact you right now. I'll be able to contact you after I buy a new phone."

"Oh, that's alright. I can contact you. Hmm, do you have a QQ account, which is popular these days?"

"I do have a QQ account, but I don't have a computer. I only leave it running occasionally at internet cafes."

"That's fine. Just tell me your QQ number, and I'll add you when I get back. Until you have a cell phone, we'll keep in touch via QQ. Don't worry, I won't disturb your studies."

"Alright then."

Zhou Chenyu took out his phone and opened the notes app: "Tell me, I'll write it down."

Su Fengnan gave Zhou Chenyu a nine-digit phone number, which he noted down in his memo: "Okay, I've got it. Will you be online in the next couple of days?"

"Yes, we'll meet at noon on the weekend."

"I'll add you later, and then I'll wait for your reply."

"Okay, but I don't spend much time online. I hope you won't mind if I don't reply to your messages in time."

"Won't."

After Zhou Chenyu successfully obtained Su Fengnan's contact information, he didn't say anything more, and the two quickly returned to the photo studio. As soon as they entered, the tranquility they had shared was instantly broken by the laughter of the girls.

By this time, the girls had already chosen their photos. The photos of the Su sisters, Su Fengnan and Su Fengxia, were both quite good, and Su Fengxia decided to take them all.

The girls agreed to go eat hot pot, and the nearest place is Zijiang Square.

Leaving the photo studio, turn right and descend a few stone steps to reach North Street. The shortest route to Zijiang Square passes through North Street. North Street now looks like a mess, littered with ruins. The county town has been expanding and renovating in recent years; North Street has been demolished, and East Street is next.

Su Fengnan glanced back at East Street. She seemed to remember someone saying in her past life that there had been an explosion or fire on East Street. She tried hard to recall, but couldn't remember at all. That memory was like looking through frosted glass, blurry and indistinct, and she couldn't grasp the specific details.

"Never mind, I don't want to think about it anymore." She shook her head, forcibly suppressing her unease. Turning around, she followed the others into Zijiang Square.

The square was already bustling with activity by evening. Elderly men and women were dancing, street vendors were setting up stalls, and there were also stalls selling fragrant barbecue and snacks. The various sounds of noise, music, and hawking blended together, easily dispelling the slight annoyance in her heart.

"Wow, it's so lively here at night," Wang Feifei exclaimed.

"Yes, there are even more people on weekends," Wu Min agreed.

"Let's go, stop looking around, let's hurry up and order something to eat, I'm so hungry," Su Fengxia urged, as if she wanted to completely fill herself up with the warmth of the food.

"Okay, nothing is more important than eating. Let's go!" Wu Min pulled Su Fengxia and quickly walked towards the gongguo stall they had been looking forward to for a long time.

There weren't many people at the hot pot stall yet. When the proprietress saw them, her face immediately lit up with a smile: "Gentlemen, please sit here. The five of you can sit at the small round table."

After the girls sat down, the proprietress handed them the menu: "Here's the menu. Take a look at it first, and I'll come back for it when you've ordered." With that, she smiled and turned to continue her work.
