Stealing Your Heart

Lin Xinyan opened the door and found a delivery man standing outside in his helmet. There was a large parcel in his hands. “Excuse me, are you Ms. Lin?”

Lin Xinyan nodded. “Yes, that’s me.”

The delivery man handed her the parcel. “Here’s your delivery. Please sign to acknowledge that you’ve received it.”

Lin Xinyan remained rooted to her spot. She hadn’t bought anything. The last time she received something like this, it had turned out to be those disgusting photos. What could it be this time?

And what a huge box it was!

Afraid that there was something sinister in the parcel, Lin Xinyan refused to sign the acknowledgement slip. “Put it down on the floor first. I want to check if the items inside have been damaged.”

The delivery man looked rather nonplussed. It wasn’t the first time a customer had asked to check if the items were in good condition. He set the parcel down and yanked the tape away, opening a box to reveal a Styrofoam box. The delivery man removed the lid of the box. Inside it was an ice pack, and beneath that, they found a neat row of fresh radishes.

Lin Xinyan gawked at the radishes in shock, as though she was wondering why she had received them.

“Take a look and see if they’ve been damaged,” The delivery man told her.

Lin Xinyan snapped out of her daze and quickly signed the acknowledgement slip. “Could you help me move this into my house?”

It was a little too heavy for her to move it by herself.

The delivery man said, “Alright.”

She was truly afraid that there was something dangerous hidden within that box of radishes. It was
