Chapter 134 He Broke His Promise

Having successfully helped Xin Yihan and found a suitable owner for the kitten in the hospital, Yu Chucheng was in a good mood and even found the gloomy sky more pleasing to the eye.

He didn't stay at Xin Yihan's house for too long. When he thought about meeting Duan Huaijin tonight, his eyes moved slightly and he couldn't help wanting to go back early.

The driver picked him up at the door of Xin Yihan's house, and Yu Chucheng went straight to the restaurant.

This restaurant is very close to the beach, on a scenic hill with lush vegetation. In the restaurant, you can eat while enjoying the sea breeze and the deep blue sea hitting the rocks.

Vehicles cannot go up and can only be parked in the seaside parking lot.

As soon as Yu Chucheng got off the car, he was attracted by a small flower shop on the roadside.

The flower shop is different from the gray sky. The green lattice wooden door is lit with warm yellow light. A small sign is hung on the huge transparent glass, which reads - Bring a flower to someone you want to meet.

For some unknown reason, Yu Chucheng pushed the door and walked in.

"Welcome!" The owner of the flower shop was a young girl in her twenties with a friendly and cheerful smile on her face. "Who are you going to buy flowers for?"

Yu Chucheng fell in love with the Bulgarian roses in the bottle at first sight. Fresh water droplets hung on the pink petals, and he could smell the rich rose fragrance when he got closer.

Yu Chucheng pursed his lips, his ears felt a little hot for some reason, "Give it to someone I like."

In the past, when he saw others giving flowers to each other when they were in love, he thought it was corny and childish, but as luck would have it, it was now his turn to stand in the flower shop and buy flowers.

"You have a good eye. The flower language of Bulgarian roses is the most sincere heart and the most beautiful promise. It's just right. How many do you need?"

Yu Chucheng hesitated for a moment and said, "One."

It is enough to have a relationship as beautiful as this rose once.

The little girl enthusiastically picked out the best blooming branch and said, "I'll wrap it up for you."

Yu Chucheng bought the flowers, but started to have troubles after walking out of the flower shop.

He hasn't figured out how to give it to Duan Huaijin yet.

Should I give it to Duan Huaijin directly when he comes, or hide it first and take it out after dinner... Should I say something else...

Yu Chucheng put the flower under his nose and sniffed it, and his heart began to beat nervously.

It seemed like it was going to rain soon. The wind outside was getting stronger and stronger, blowing the leaves on the ground into all directions. There were not many people on the street. Yu Chucheng quickened his pace and walked towards the foot of the mountain.

It was only 4:30 when Duan Huaijin arrived at the restaurant. He and Yu Chucheng had an appointment to meet at 5 o'clock. The restaurant waiter was also greeted in advance and led Duan Huaijin to the reserved seat.

The restaurant is elegantly decorated with wooden tables and chairs, gauze-like curtains swaying in the wind, and the sound of wind chimes echoing.

Duan Huaijin put down the bag in his hand. Last time, Yu Chucheng seemed to like the cake from this store very much. Today he bought a different flavor. He wondered if Yu Chucheng would like it.

"Sir, you can order first." The waiter handed over the menu with a smile and filled the cup in front of Duan Huaijin with tea.

Duan Huaijin lowered his eyelids, "Thank you."

He still wanted to wait for Yu Chucheng to come and order together.

The waiter placed the tableware and retreated, and couldn't help whispering with his little sister not far away.

"Look at that handsome guy. He's really good-looking and has a nice voice."

"It was Master Yu who reserved the seat today, right? Do you think they are a couple?"

"We'll know when Master Yu comes and see his reaction."

"Mr. Yu is also good-looking. Imagine the two of them having dinner together by the window soon... ah, they are such a perfect match."

Duan Huaijin lowered his head and looked at his phone quietly. He opened Yu Chucheng's circle of friends and silently looked at every little detail of Yu Chucheng's past.

Yu Chucheng doesn’t like to post selfies very much, and Duan Huaijin flipped to the end before he found a photo from high school.

In the photo, Yu Chucheng was wearing a school uniform, and his facial features were the same as now, except that his eyebrows and eyes looked more childish. Ji Zhou hooked his arm around his neck, with the school uniform hanging on his shoulders, and made a self-proclaimed cool gesture.

If only he had met Yu Chucheng earlier, earlier than in the Internet cafe, he would have been able to leave some traces of Yu Chucheng's high school years.

People are indeed greedy.

Duan Huaijin looked at the photo, zooming in and out repeatedly, and finally cut out Ji Zhou and saved it in his own photo album.

“Boom…”

It seemed as if a giant beast was tumbling in the dark clouds in the sky, and the clouds were brightening as if they were brewing energy.

Duan Huaijin looked up at the time on the screen - it was already past five, but Yu Chucheng had not arrived yet.

Was there a bit of traffic on the road? But when he arrived, there were not many cars on the seaside road.

Duan Huaijin looked up at the stormy sky again and frowned. It was about to rain and he didn't know whether Yu Chucheng had brought an umbrella.

Yu Chucheng is rarely late, and although he had accidentally forgotten things before, they had just sent messages this morning and Yu Chucheng had booked seats in advance, so it was impossible for him to forget the appointment for tonight.

Duan Huaijin felt a little uneasy and immediately called Yu Chucheng.

“Buzz buzz buzz…”

On the deserted street, the cell phone that had fallen to the ground kept vibrating.

An old scavenger carrying a sack happened to pass by here. After hearing the sound, he bent down tremblingly and wiped the broken screen with his dry and dark hands.

He looked around and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Hey, whose phone dropped?"

But the only response he got was the sharp whistling of the wind through the building.

No one answered the phone, and it vibrated again a second later.

The old man clumsily slid the answer button with his muddy fingers.

Before Duan Huaijin could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard a very old voice from the other side, "Hello?"

"Who are you? Where is Yu Chucheng?" Duan Huaijin stood up suddenly, feeling inexplicably nervous.

The old man groaned twice, "I don't know who you are talking about. This is a phone I found on the roadside. I don't know where its owner is."

Duan Huaijin's pupils trembled slightly, and his lungs seemed to be squeezed, making it difficult for him to breathe smoothly. He ran out without hesitation, not daring to think too much, "Where did you find the phone?"

The old man described the things around him.

"I understand. Please wait nearby for a while. I'll be there soon!"

The moment Duan Huaijin rushed out of the restaurant, the gloomy sky finally started to rain.

As if it had been held back for a whole day, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, a huge thunder exploded in the clouds, and raindrops as big as beans poured down and hit the ground.

The old scavenger took shelter from the rain outside a closed coffee shop. He obediently did not go far and kept his cell phone in his arms.

Although the phone screen was broken, it was still more valuable than anything else on him. The weather was bad recently and there were fewer tourists at the beach, so he couldn't pick up anything. If he could help others, it would be worth coming out today.

The whole street was covered with fog, and the rain curtains swayed rapidly in the strong wind.

The old man rubbed his eyes and found a flower where his phone had fallen.

The flower was a flesh-pink rose that he had never seen before, and it looked like it was not cheap. The poor petals were soaked in the rain, and there was a small card in the package, but it was also wet by the rain, and it was almost impossible to see its original appearance.
