William was also startled by the continuous stream of notification sounds. Since the online store opened, there hadn’t been any orders, not even inquiries. Although Lin Su hadn’t paid much attention to the online store, since it was under his management, William couldn’t help but feel concerned about its lack of activity. It made him feel inadequate.

In private, he had visited forums to seek advice. However, whenever he mentioned that he ran a store selling purified fruits and vegetables, online users either accused him of pretending to be female or privately messaged him, trying to flirt with him. If Lin Su had posted such a thread and received such attention, William would have blocked all those people and become angry.

“Looks like the scent of wine does not fear the depth of the alley. Come on, William, see how many orders there are. The notification sounds indicate there are quite a few,” Lin Su said as he approached William and sat next to him. The close proximity of the alluring scent emanating from Lin Su, the delicate female, made William’s heart soften.

The refreshing and clean green page always brought a sense of freshness whenever they entered it. Lin Su watched as William clicked on the bottom-right corner to check the orders, and to their surprise, it showed that 12 people had placed orders. Although each person had only purchased one item, 12 orders were still a substantial amount.

“Seems like all the orders have the same shipping address. Is this a collective group purchase?” Lin Su noticed that the displayed shipping address was the Third Military District…

Someone must have helped promote it, right?

Su Jin and Kane approached, curious. “Did someone really place orders?”

“Yes, and there are 12 of them. We can make a small profit,” Lin Su noted down each order. “I’ll go get some bags, and male father can help arrange the delivery.”

Kane nodded with a smile, “Sure!”

Su Jin followed Lin Su, saying, “I’ll help you.”

Meanwhile, William changed the status of the 12 orders to “packing and shipping.”

The news of Gen returning to work caused quite a stir in the logistics department. After all, in the past, anyone who suffered from mental disorders rarely made a comeback. Not many had witnessed someone returning to work after such an experience.

Many people came to inquire about what had happened. Mental disorders were like a thorn in everyone’s hearts.

Gen didn’t keep it a secret. Whoever asked was told that he had recovered by eating fruits from the Ai Su online shop. For a while, the name “Ai Su” became popular in the logistics department.

A batch of identical parcels piled up on the table in the security inspection area of the Third Military District in the morning.

An inspector looked at the packages that were identical in size, color, and addressed to the same location. “Seems like the logistics department is rich lately. They’re collectively buying purified fruits and vegetables?”

A colleague overheard and approached curiously, “I haven’t heard of Ai Su Fruit and Vegetable Store. Are they having a discount?”

As they were talking, the colleague picked up one of the paper bags and pretended to sniff it. Suddenly, their eyes brightened with surprise. “Hmm, I can actually smell the fruit fragrance. What kind of fruit is this? It smells like oranges, so delightful. Let me check the address; I might place an order too.”

The inspector skeptically smiled at the astonished expression of the colleague and said, “Is it true? You can smell the fragrance even through the thick paper bag… Hmm, it’s real! Mine smells like strawberries, and it’s so fragrant!”

Thinking that their colleague was joking, they decided to smell one themselves. To their surprise, they really did catch a whiff of the sweet scent of strawberries.

“Turns out, I’ll place an order too and try it for myself. This taste seems quite addictive,” the inspector said as they placed the bags of parcels onto the security inspection machine, which didn’t trigger any alarms. “All clear on the security check. I’ll go deliver them. By the way, what’s this collective group purchase activity that the logistics department is engaged in?”

After saying that, the inspector pushed the cart out of the security room.

Just as Butte was opening the maintenance room door, ready to take advantage of the good weather for ventilation, he saw the inspector pushing the cart and couldn’t help but smile. “Our department’s parcels?”

“Yes, this whole cart is for your logistics department. What’s so magical about this Ai Su Fruit and Vegetable Store that you all are collectively purchasing from? Are there any discounts for group purchases?”

The commotion attracted the attention of others who heard them talking and walked over. “The deliveries have arrived!”

Butte stepped aside and looked at the colleagues gathered around the cart, searching for their own packages. He smiled and said to the inspector, “You’ll have to experience the magical aspects of this store called Ai Su for yourself.”

The inspector blinked. “Is it necessary to be so mysterious?”

It’s just purified fruits and vegetables. They’ve eaten them before.

Just as they were talking, Gen entered from outside and saw the colleagues gathered around the cart near the entrance. He laughed and said, “Your fruits have arrived?”

“Gen, take a look at the strawberries I bought. They’re so big, even bigger than my hand. I thought the pictures I saw before were edited, but turns out they’re real. I instantly felt that the money was well worth it!”

The inspector stared at the strawberries being held in the colleague’s palm. The bright red strawberries were indeed as big as an adult male’s hand, and their flesh looked plump and thick. Just by looking at them, they were incredibly enticing.

“Wow, are these strawberries really this big?”

“The oranges are also quite large. This one probably weighs around a pound!”

“Quick, taste them. I can’t wait to experience the kind of revitalizing sensation that Gen mentioned, like a shot of energy to the spirit realm!”

Seeing the colleague weighing the golden orange in their hand, the inspector forced themselves to tear their gaze away from it and turned to Butte. “By the way, is it true that Gen recovered just by these Fruit and Vegetables? There have been rumors going around these days.”

Although they weren’t in the same department, they had heard a bit about Gen, the soldier who had suddenly recovered from a mental disorder and returned to work.

“I don’t know. We’ve only heard it from Gen himself. We haven’t verified if it’s true or not,” Butte said, taking out his own package from the cart and opening it in front of the inspector. He revealed a bright red strawberry in his hand.

“Hmm, Captain, you bought strawberries too? I’m starting to regret it. Next time, I’ll buy strawberries as well. They look so tempting!”

“Captain, take a bite and taste it. Mmm, the orange smells so good. I’m already salivating!”

For a moment, the air in the spacious maintenance room was filled with the refreshing and pleasant scent of oranges.

The inspector didn’t want to leave but was tempted by the tantalizing fruit aromas and couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.

“The fragrance of these oranges is so enticing. I feel like eating the peel. I’m going for it, guys!”

“I’ve washed the strawberries. Ahh… mmm!”

The juicy and tender flesh burst open in their mouths, releasing a sweet and tangy juice that exploded between their lips and teeth, accompanied by a fresh and delightful fragrance. It was a delicious experience that left them craving for more.

“I finally understand why people would still buy something so expensive. It’s just too delicious! If only…”

“If only what? What are you…?”

“Uh, uh, uh, I just… I felt like something passed through my spiritual realm just now. Did any of you feel it too?”

“I-I also felt it. A cool sensation. I feel much clearer in my mind now. No, I need to take another bite!”

“It feels so comfortable, like a refreshing massage for my spiritual realm!”

“Mm, I feel like rolling on the ground right now. It’s so comfortable! How can it be this comfortable!”

“This feeling is truly amazing. I need to place another order!”

The inspector, who had been standing at the door and unwilling to leave, observed their expressions and listened to their conversation. They turned to Butte, who had just finished eating half a strawberry, and said anxiously, “What do you mean by a massage for the spiritual realm? What did you all discover in these fruits?”

If they weren’t holding onto a shred of sanity, they would have wanted to shake Butte vigorously and demand a clear explanation!

Butte quickly finished eating the strawberry in his hand, which was quite large and satisfying. However, even after eating it, he felt like he wanted more. He licked his lips and thought he should have been bolder and bought two!

Looking at the inspector’s eager eyes, Butte smiled and said reservedly, “I think you should buy some and taste it for yourself. All I can say is that as a male, no one can resist it. Gen didn’t lie, and those rumors are true. This stuff really has a soothing effect on the spiritual realm.”

His words were straightforward and clear. The inspector looked at the strawberry stem left in his hand, blinked, and—

Did Butte mean that the fruits from this Ai Su Fruit and Vegetable Store had the power to heal spiritual disorders?

“Boom, boom.”

The inspector heard their own heartbeat and pulled the cart back. They didn’t ask any further questions and hurriedly left.

They had to place an order immediately. Whether it could truly treat spiritual disorders or not, just based on the enticing fruit aroma and the luscious juice, they had to buy some and taste it. If they didn’t try it at least once, they would feel regretful!

Lin Su looked at the earnings on the back end of the online store. Although it couldn’t compare to the collective purchase from the enforcement department, this income made him even happier because it meant that even without the enforcement department, their family wouldn’t lose their source of livelihood.

“You can keep this money. Take whatever you want from here without worrying about saving for me,” Lin Su said with a beaming smile, reaching out to playfully tousle William’s big fluffy tail beside him.

As the saying goes, he was responsible for earning money to support the family, while his wife was responsible for being beautiful. So it was time to prioritize getting that gold necklace!

Lin Su couldn’t help but feel that his white fur matched the golden necklace so elegantly and nobly. The bell hanging on the fox’s paw right now was particularly eye-catching.

Indeed, he had a good eye!

William never expected Lin Su to trust him so much. Even though the online store had just started making a modest profit, Lin Su’s unwavering trust and attitude filled him with delight. The little vixen always managed to touch the softest spot in his heart.

With a slight curl of his lips and a gentle tenderness reflected in his golden eyes, William raised his tail tip, ready to wrap it around Lin Su’s ankle proactively. However, he noticed the silly rabbit staring intently at Lin Su from the corner of the bed, with its intentions too obvious.

Narrowing his eyes, while Lin Su was distracted, William suddenly stretched… and kicked the black long-eared bunny off the bed.

“A thud!” The sound caught Lin Su’s attention, who was focused on the online store. He turned to the side and asked, “What was that sound?”

William innocently blinked his eyes and wrapped his tail around Lin Su’s ankle, rubbing against it in an attempt to please.

Lin Su, successfully diverted by the attention, brightened his eyes and curled his lips, reaching out to playfully tousle William’s tail a couple of times.

The tail felt smooth and soft to the touch, really enjoyable.

Meanwhile, the plump rabbit lying on the ground, with its eyes turned into spirals, twitched its raised hind legs weakly and let out a pitiful sound, “Ji!”
