After dropping the four people off at the entrance of the residential area, Gu Li waved goodbye, saying, "Let me know when you get there."

Lü Chao said, "It would be even better if you could tell me about your preparations."

Xu Lang: "Yeah, really, don't you need us to give you some advice?"

Gu Li waved his hand, "Take care." He had already decided what he wanted to give her.

Jiang Xu sat on the sofa, looking at the rain outside the window. Raindrops pounded against the French windows, blurring the scenery outside. There were no stars on a rainy day; the night was dark and silent.

Just as Jiang Xu was lost in thought, the doorbell rang. He walked to the door and opened it, where he was greeted by the scent of fresh, moist roses.

Gu Li held up the roses and handed them to him. "Your package has arrived. Please sign for it."

The roses were light pink, clustered together, each one adorned with tiny water droplets, filling the view on this dark, rainy night.

Jiang Xu looked at Rose and then at Gu Li. "What's this?"

Gu Li said, “I applaud your wonderful speech,” glancing at the roses. “And I noticed the flowers in the vase have wilted, so I’m sending you a new bouquet.”

Jiang Xu took the flowers from him. "Are these flowers meant to match the vase?"

Gu Li said with a smile, "Not entirely," as he glanced at the vase not far away. "The picture the shopkeeper took was so beautiful, who could resist buying it?"

Jiang Xu said, "That makes some sense." He stepped aside to let Gu Li in. "Shall we arrange flowers together? I forgot to invite you last time."

He thought the time was approaching, and this time Jiang Xu invited Gu Li along.

“Yes,” Gu Li said as she walked in, “Don’t forget next time.”

Jiang Xu: "What color will it be next time?"

Gu Li: "It'll be the color you want, right?"

Jiang Xu smiled and walked with Gu Li, "Then I want the white one."

Gu Li: "God has heard your wish. Please wait patiently."

It's the same balcony from the previous illustration, but this time two young people are standing on it. One is looking at the rain, while the other is putting pink roses into a vase.

Jiang Xu looked at Gu Li and said, "So, the main focus is on companionship, right?"

Gu Li turned back to look at the vase. "Only flowers that are carefully cared for by their owners can bloom for a long time. Keep it up, its owner."

Jiang Xu said, "But its other owner doesn't take care of it, which will hasten its withering."

Gu Li: "You make a good point. I'll take care of the rest."

He was already squatting down when he looked up at Jiang Xu and reached out his hand. Jiang Xu felt as if he had seen a child asking an adult for candy.

Jiang Xu handed over the remaining flowers and watched Gu Li intently take them and arrange them in a floral arrangement. To be honest, he thought it was quite cute.

Gu Li placed the flowers in one by one, turning his head left and right, his red hair swaying with his movements, the light following each strand.

The image flashed into Jiang Xu's eyes, and he realized he had inserted them too quickly and should have left a few more for Gu Li.

Gu Li clapped his hands and stood up. "Alright." As he spoke, he walked towards Jiang Xu. After taking two steps, his vision suddenly went black, and his body involuntarily leaned forward. He was supported and closed his eyes to calm down.

Jiang Xu asked, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?" He held the other person's hand, and the two stood with their legs crossed, their skin touching without any pants blocking the view. The sensation of their skin touching was especially clear.

Gu Li opened his eyes and shook his head. "It's nothing, I just squatted for too long." He stepped back a little, bent down and picked up the vase on the ground. "Let's display our joint achievement here."

Jiang Xu said, "Go to sleep now that you've put it away. I'll make you a cup of honey water."

Gu Li: "Should we put it in its original position?"

Jiang Xu replied, "Mm." After he finished speaking, he walked towards the kitchen. "Put it down and wait on the sofa for a bit."

Jiang Xu returned with a cup and handed it to Gu Li on the sofa, saying, "Your physical fitness needs improvement."

"I haven't been to the gym yet," Gu Li said, slowly sipping her warm honey water. "Look how smug Lu Chao is today. See you at the gym next week."

Jiang Xu sat down next to Gu Li. "Okay, I'll call you as soon as I get there."

Gu Li said, "Just look at your brother, you seem reliable."

Jiang Xu, "When did you say that?"

Gu Li put down her cup. "Didn't I just say that?"

Jiang Xu laughed, "You've hit the nail on the head again," he stood up, "Let's go, let's rest."

Gu Li said, "I got the keys from the property management," and he also stood up, "and went back to my place."

Jiang Xu, "Why don't you stay at your new friend's place for the night?" He thought for a moment and then asked, "Are you having trouble sleeping in a new bed?"

Gu Li thought for a moment, "I don't acknowledge it, but I have some small things to do tomorrow." He smiled and pointed in the direction of the guest room, "Don't worry, wait for your brother to pamper it next time."

Jiang Xu patted Gu Li's outstretched forearm. "Granted. You may leave now."

Gu Li clenched her fist and bumped Jiang Xu's shoulder. "Are you trying to rebel?"

The two reached the door, and Jiang Xu watched as the person unlocked the door with a key. "See you on Monday, Gu Li."

Gu Li opened the door. "Okay, let's go to school together."

As the new week began, Jiang Xu started his daily routine of combining driving lessons with gym workouts.

After all, he had a driver's license before, so he passed the first subject test after only a quick glance. The rest was just a matter of getting an instructor assigned to him for the second subject test at the driving school.

Jiang Xu chose to go on a Tuesday, a day off. It was just after lunch break, and even the receptionists were sleepy. Jiang Xu was the only person on this side of the lobby.

Jiang Xu: "Hello."

The receptionist looked up and asked, "Hello, what kind of service do you need?"

Jiang Xu said, "I'm here to match with a driving instructor for the second part of the driving test."

"Do you already have a preferred coach, or is it random selection?"

Jiang Xu: "Just arrange them randomly."

"Okay, the assignment results will be displayed on the app. The results should be available around tomorrow. After that, you can join the group and arrange your driving practice time yourself."

Jiang Xu nodded. "Okay, thank you." Then he left.

Students who have finished their driving lessons leave the driving school lobby. There is a small door on the side of the lobby where instructors are assigned. Not many people leave there, but Hu Bingbing happened to walk down this road today.

This coincidentally led her to see Jiang Xu talking to the front desk through a side door not far away. Her eyes lit up with joy; this was fate.

The moment Jiang Xu left the lobby, she immediately went to the front desk. "Hello, pretty lady." She smiled, her eyes crinkling, and her voice was sweet, making it easy for people to like her.

The receptionist, hearing her address, smiled slightly and asked, "How can I help you?"

With a hint of worry in her voice, Hu Bingbing asked, "May I ask what service that boy just completed?"

The receptionist stopped laughing. "What's wrong?"

Hu Bingbing said, “That’s my cousin, his name is Jiang Xu.” She sighed after she finished speaking. “His family was worried about him coming here. It just so happens that I’m also at this university, so they asked me to take care of him. But boys have high self-esteem, so it’s not convenient for me to say too much. But I thought it would be good to help as much as I could.”

Hu Bingbing paused for a moment and then said, "He must have just passed the first part of the driving test. I've been practicing for the second part for a while now. If he had the same coach as me, I could give him some pointers."

The girl at the front desk looked at Hu Bingbing, whose expression was a mixture of worry and concern.
