Volume 1, Chapter 48: That tender, fair face makes me kind of want to slurp it!

"I wonder what I'll get in today's express delivery blind box?"

Jiang Lin muttered with a hint of eager anticipation as he unwrapped the package in his hands.

When he opened it up, a wave of pleasant surprise washed over him.

"Well, what do you know? It's a set of skincare products. Perfect, I'll give this to Yurong."

Seeing the contents of the blind box, Jiang Lin's voice grew excited and thrilled.

"Yurong, look! What did I bring you?"

"What is it?"

Zhu Yurong fixed her gaze entirely on Jiang Lin, her eyes brimming with expectation.

Jiang Lin brought the skincare gift set before Zhu Yurong and said with a delighted grin, "I've brought you a set of skincare products."

"Huh? What are skincare products?" Zhu Yurong asked, puzzled.

"Just as the name implies, skincare products protect your skin and make your face even more beautiful!"

Jiang Lin placed them in Zhu Yurong's hands and explained.

Hearing this, Zhu Yurong's eyes lit up instantly, and her expression blossomed with delight. "Oh, thank you so much, Jiang Lin!"

"Goodness, what kind of blissful lives do women in future generations lead? They even have things specifically meant to protect their faces."

Seeing how enchanted Zhu Yurong was, unable to put the items down, Jiang Lin smiled triumphantly.

Indeed! Whether in ancient times or the modern era, girls are simply powerless against anything that makes them more beautiful.

Jiang Lin opened the packaging box. "I noticed your skin is a bit dry. This toner is great for hydration."

Before Zhu Yurong could even react, his large hands began to gently massage the mixture into her fair, tender, and smooth cheeks.

The tactile sensation... simply absolute perfection!

Even her cheeks were this springy, so down below...

After applying it, Jiang Lin looked at Zhu Yurong standing before him with immense satisfaction.

Recalling the intimate contact just moments ago, Zhu Yurong lowered her head shyly.

A delicate blush spread across her pure and lovely face.

Tsk!

A question for the universe: I kind of want to take a sip, what should I do?

Zhu Yurong cast a stealthy glance sideways. Seeing that Jiang Lin's gaze was still fixed upon her, she finally lost her composure, quickly scurried into the bathroom, and checked her reflection in the mirror.

Goodness gracious!

This thing called skincare products is truly miraculous. Just a brief massage on the cheeks, and it actually makes the skin feel so much more nourished and supple.

For a moment, Zhu Yurong was once again in awe of the wisdom possessed by the people of future generations.

"Jiang Lin, I love these skincare products."

Zhu Yurong walked out of the bathroom with a smile, her eyes sparkling with joy.

Jiang Lin handed the remaining skincare items over to her as well. "Go ahead and put the rest of these away too."

Zhu Yurong accepted the products, clutching the large box in her arms as she hurried off toward her room.

Meanwhile, Zhu Di had already returned to the inner palace.

He made his way directly to Xu Miaoyun's chambers without a moment's delay.

"A-Yun, look what wonderful thing I've brought you!"

Beaming with excitement, he presented the mini electric fan right in front of Xu Miaoyun.

"This little fan can generate wind, and it's wonderfully cooling."

"Generate wind?"

Xu Miaoyun looked at the electric fan with curiosity, asking in utter bewilderment, "Is this the thing that man from future generations named Jiang Lin gave you yesterday?"

"That's right!"

Zhu Di nodded, smiling as he explained to Xu Miaoyun, "This fan is an artifact from the future, bestowed upon us by someone of later generations."

"Father kept one for himself and asked for one for Mother; Eldest Brother has one, and he asked for one for his wife; I have one, and I asked the man from the future for one specifically for you."

"You're pregnant now, and you tend to get hot easily. Use this to cool yourself down."

Seeing Xu Miaoyun's confusion, Zhu Di laughingly turned on the electric fan. The blades immediately began to spin, and a refreshing breeze puffed out.

"Oh heavens!"

Xu Miaoyun was startled by the sudden gust of wind, taking several steps back in reflex.

Ah! What on earth is happening?

Could... could this wind really be blown out by this object right before her eyes?

When Xu Miaoyun saw the fan blades spinning at high speeds without any visible external force driving them, she was struck dumb with astonishment.

"It's so cool, so refreshing! This little fan is simply magical!"

Xu Miaoyun reveled in the coolness of the fan, speaking with a sense of sheer disbelief.
