Jiang Xu thought for a moment about how to answer, what would be a good answer.

The timing was perfect, the weather was perfect, and the people were perfect.

He finally spoke, "Come to the door, you'll see when you get there." The light from the window warmed up the somewhat chilly corridor.

Gu Li said, "Okay." He held his phone and walked towards the door.

Gu Li never expected this when she opened the door.

Jiang Xu stood there, holding a bouquet of flowers in full bloom. The flowers were purple-pink, bright and flamboyant.

The flowers were eye-catching, but Gu Li felt that the person holding them was even more eye-catching. He paused for a moment before asking, "What's this?"

Jiang Xu gently lifted the flower a little higher. "Is it pretty?"

Gu Li looked at the flowers and nodded subconsciously.

Seeing Gu Li's reaction, Jiang Xu smiled and said, "These are the flowers I said I would give you before. Do you know what kind of flowers they are?"

Gu Li had given away many flowers before. He examined the flowers closely. “They look like…” He paused and looked at Jiang Xu. “Carnations?” He sounded puzzled.

Jiang Xu said, "You guessed right. It's a pity I didn't prepare a small gift for you." He joked slightly, "It's a carnation, but do you know what it's called?" He looked at Gu Li but didn't wait for an answer before continuing, "Wild Horse."

Gu Li repeated, "Wild Horse?"

Jiang Xu: "Hmm, I think it suits you very well."

Gu Li tilted her head. "Why?"

Jiang Xu said, “His flower language is unruliness and freedom.” He looked at Gu Li in front of him and said, “I think you are that kind of person, unruly and free.”

Gu Li laughed as he listened to Jiang Xu's words, his eyes sparkling. "I think that's a good reason," he said, looking directly at Jiang Xu. "You have a good eye for choosing; it looks great."

Jiang Xu handed the flowers to Gu Li, "It's not just for this reason."

Gu Li took the flowers and looked down at the petals. The flowers were in full bloom, and their fragrance wafted towards him. "Hmm? Is there another reason?" He could feel the warmth of Jiang Xu holding the flowers on the wrapping, a vague warmth.

“Yes,” Jiang Xu responded, looking directly at Gu Li. “His flowering period is one month, and today, this Saturday, we’ve known each other for a month.” He repeated, “A whole month.”

Gu Li suddenly felt that the flower had become a little heavier. The moment he looked at Jiang Xu, the flower became a little heavier again. He pondered, "Has it already been a month?" He sighed, "Time really flies."

“Yes,” Jiang Xu remarked, “very quickly.”

"Jiang Xu," Gu Li called out, her eyes shining, "Are these flowers easy to grow?"

Jiang Xu answered Gu Li's suddenly changed question, "It's easy to take care of. It's very resilient and can live a long time if you take good care of it."

Gu Li nodded. "Then it really does look like me," he said, his eyes full of smiles. "I'm also quite easy to take care of."

Jiang Xu didn't expect Gu Li to say that. He didn't know how to respond for a moment, but Gu Li continued talking.

“Brother Xu,” he addressed him this time, “tomorrow, um,” he said firmly, “how about we chat together tomorrow night?”

Jiang Xu looked at Gu Li's expression, his heart racing. "Is it not possible today?"

"Let's wait a little longer," Gu Li said, looking out the window behind Jiang Xu. "I think the moon isn't as beautiful as it will be tomorrow." He still felt things weren't quite perfect yet.

Jiang Xu: "Alright, then tomorrow it will be."

Gu Li hummed in agreement, his fingertips tracing patterns on the flower wrapping. "See you tomorrow!" he waved quickly.

Jiang Xu looked at the closed door in front of him, then turned his head to look out the still-lit window. Perhaps the moon would be quite beautiful from now on.

Gu Li leaned against the door, one hand encircling the flowers, the other pressing against his chest, the rapid, forceful beating clearly reflecting his current emotions.

He murmured softly, "So fast." His voice faded into the empty room, but the rapid beating of his heart lingered.

It rang in Gu Li's ears again and again, reminding him of his current feelings, so clear, so vivid, and so full of anticipation.

Gu Li lowered his head as if burying himself in the flowers. He closed his eyes, but the fragrance of the flowers did not make him more awake.

Gu Li thought to herself, "So some flowers are quite intoxicating."

Jiang Xu, who returned to the coffee table, wasn't much better off. He had reread the documents in front of him several times, but he couldn't retain them in his mind at all.

Fortunately, he had already gotten a general idea of ​​what was going on, and this general idea made Jiang Xu frown.

Jiang Xu spent the past month investigating the cause of the original owner's death, but the more he investigated, the more obvious it seemed, making it appear unreal.

He investigated the surveillance footage throughout the holiday and was surprised to find that the original owner was a homebody; no one came to visit him, and he never really went out.

They only occasionally pick up some daily necessities and meals.

If that's the case, it should have been a peaceful holiday, and he wouldn't have needed to commit suicide at all.

Jiang Xu felt something was off; some experiences and thoughts were jumping around in a chain, something flashing through his mind.

He also investigated the original owner's experiences in high school, which were clearly more brutal than those in college. But he survived those situations, so why did he choose to end his own life when nothing much was happening?

The original owner had too few connections and too few clues, so he couldn't see anything else. He just intuitively felt that this matter couldn't be that simple.

If proactive investigation didn't work, he could only wait and see. The original owner's emotions and memories had been quiet for a long time.

These thoughts were scattered among his main ideas, and Gu Li's face kept appearing in Jiang Xu's mind, making him feel uneasy.

He was wondering what their tomorrow would be like.

He imagined it, yet couldn't be sure; he only knew clearly that he was eagerly anticipating tomorrow.

Tomorrow arrived amidst their shared anticipation; the morning had already come, so how could the night be late?

Jiang Xu sat on the sofa with a book in his hand, glancing out the window every now and then to see if the clouds were quietly turning dark.

He got up early today. The room was very quiet. Jiang Xu would occasionally look at his book and then out the window. Feeling satisfied after lunch, he didn't even realize when he had fallen asleep on the sofa.

He was only woken up when the doorbell rang. The first thing Jiang Xu did upon waking was to glance out the window as night fell.

Jiang Xu got up, used the reflection from the French windows to comb his hair, then walked to the door and opened it.

The moment the door opened, he saw Gu Li fall over with a smile, and he embraced a warm body.

Gu Li's voice was clearly panting. "I hope I'm not too late," he said, holding Jiang Xu's arm. "Also, I didn't do it on purpose. My leg might have suddenly started hurting."

Jiang Xu could feel the warmth of Gu Li's breath; he knew that Gu Li had run over.
