Chapter 156: A Bouquet of Flowers

The two of them went straight to the top floor, where there was an open-air area, where they could directly come into contact with the night air and the evening breeze, making it a great place to enjoy the stars and the moon. It was a comfortable and relaxing place, and Cui Huailang often came here.

Cui Huailang placed a table on the platform. There were exquisite dishes on the table, two pots of green plum drink, and flowers that had been arranged in advance were all around. The flowers were blooming brightly, and not a single one was withered.

The moon was high in the sky as they sat facing each other, the rich fragrance of flowers seeping into their nostrils. Cui Huailang's heartbeat was unbearable, and his fingers trembled slightly. In order not to appear so incompetent, he covered his trembling fingertips with his other hand.

He still had a broad smile on his face. "How about it, Sister Qingxi? I ​​chose a good position, didn't I? Isn't it beautiful and comfortable?"

"Very good." Ling Qingyan nodded, taking in his nervousness and pretending to be relaxed.

She didn't expose him and just looked at him with a smile on her face.

Cui Huailang took a deep breath, lowered his head for a moment, then raised his head, still with a smile on his lips, but with extraordinary seriousness.

"I heard that wishes are more likely to come true when the moon is full. I'm lucky. The moon is bright and round today."

Ling Qingyan followed his words and looked at the full moon. It was surrounded by stars and there were no dark clouds covering it. It was likely that tomorrow would be a good day.

The girl looked at the moon, but Cui Huailang's eyes never left the girl.

The moon is beautiful today, and the girl in front of me is even more beautiful.

Ling Qingyan looked back at him and agreed with a smile, "The moon knows it can bring you good luck, it must be very happy too."

Cui Huailang chuckled and continued, "Sister Qingxi, I really feel that I am so lucky. I am lucky to have a second life, and I am even luckier to have met you."

"Don't be fooled by my usual carefree attitude, seeming to be extremely loyal to my friends, smooth and sophisticated, able to chat with anyone and greet everyone with a smile, but deep down, I'm actually a rather cold person."

"I have a lot of good friends, whether in my past life or now, but I've never thought about who I want to be with for the rest of my life."

"Everyone can survive without a person. It's just a matter of going from being with one group of people to being with another."

"Until I met you. This sentence is a bit hypocritical and corny, but I still have to say it." Cui Huailang looked at Ling Qingyan steadily, "You are the only person in my two lifetimes who I have ever wanted to be by my side forever."

"I think it might really be fate. I fell in love with you the first time I saw you." Cui Huailang scratched his head. "Alas. Saying this makes me seem so superficial, but it's true that I fell in love at first sight."

"Later, in the process of getting along with you, guess what?" Cui Huailang clapped his hands and looked into her eyes, "I fell in love even more!"

"It's just that maybe we're so compatible and have such a good relationship that our friendship has grown deeper. I don't think you even consider me a normal man."

Cui Huailang shook his head and said, "I don't think this will work."

"Then today's incident happened. I thought, I've lived this life over again, I can't go to the grave with regrets."

Cui Huailang took out a bunch of flowers he had prepared in advance from under the table. His heart was beating wildly. The wind blew through his hair, and the boy's throat became slightly hoarse.

"Although I've never been in a relationship, I've heard that confessing love should start with a bouquet of flowers."

Cui Huailang's throat tightened and his palms were covered with sweat. He reached out and handed the flowers to the girl, and at the same time, a man's clear voice rang out.

"I like you, Ling Qingyan."

With a "bang", fireworks exploded in the night sky, colorful and gorgeous. The scattered sparks were like falling stars, dazzling and shocking.

Cui Huailang knew that Gu Qingxi was Ling Qingyan's pseudonym. He usually called her "Sister Qingxi" but for such a solemn confession, he called her by her real name.

On the eighth floor of Zhaixing Tower, Liu Hong, who was secretly watching from a distance, was so happy that he almost jumped up.

"I was so nervous, but luckily nothing went wrong. The timing of setting off the fireworks was just right. If I had messed up such a big thing for Huailang, he would have broken up with me." Liu Hong patted his chest.

"Everything is ready. What do you think about whether the Old Cui tree, which hasn't bloomed for eight hundred years, can succeed?" Shang Liu looked at the two of them.

"It's hard to say." Xu Yu leaned against the wall, his arms folded across his chest. "But whether it succeeds or not, Cui Huailang won't have an easy time."

It didn't work out, and Cui Huailang was inevitably sad.

It works, those powerful lovers of Boss Gu will definitely not let him go.

"Or maybe it's because Brother Cui is brave. If it were me, I would definitely give up facing such powerful rivals." Shang Liu shook his head.

On the other side, Ling Qingyan took his flowers and put them aside. The two of them enjoyed the beautiful scenery in the evening breeze until the fireworks were over.

Ling Qingyan took a sip of wine from the glass.

"You like me? You have good taste." Ling Qingyan leaned on her head and tilted it to look at him with a faint smile, her eyes shimmering with ripples. "I like myself too."

"But Brother Cui," Ling Qingyan looked at him, "you'll have a lot of trouble if you're with me."

"There are too many people who like me." Ling Qingyan said with a little sadness.

Cui Huailang's eyes lit up slightly. She didn't reject him directly because she was considering the many troubles that would arise.

"I'm not afraid of trouble." Cui Huailang shook his head quickly as if trying to prove something, "The thing I'm least afraid of is trouble."

"Sister Qingxi, are you also a little attracted to me?" Cui Huailang's body was tense, looking forward to the girl's answer.

"Uh..." Ling Qingyan recalled the heartbeat she had just felt, then nodded honestly and smiled, "I did a little bit just now."

"But I have to pour a bucket of cold water on you. As I told you the other day, I also have feelings for other people." Ling Qingyan was a little embarrassed. She pursed her lips and said, "I don't know if it was because of the mission or if it's just my personality."

"I think I'm a bit of a scumbag. During the mission, there were times when I did get moved."

This is also the reason why Ling Qingyan wants to change her living environment. Not only because those people are too crazy, but also because she cannot face her own messy and complicated thoughts.

It's a bit hard to accept that she can have feelings for several people at the same time.

In her opinion, the beautiful love she yearns for should be to stay with someone for the rest of her life.

So she ran away.

"So you really do have feelings for me!!" Cui Huailang's eyes opened wide and bright, his happiness was beyond words.

It was as if he didn't hear the rest of her words, but he could hear that she was a little moved by him.

"A little." Ling Qingyan was very honest.

"Then we are running in both directions!" Cui Huailang was happier than ever. He looked at the moon, as if thanking it for being so round and bright tonight.

It’s great that Sister Qingxi likes me too.

Ling Qingyan didn't quite understand Cui Huailang's train of thought. She only discovered today that her friend was a little love-sick.

And only hear what you want to hear.

Cui Huailang was of course happy. You know, he never thought that it would work tonight. He had already prepared a hundred ways of speaking in case of rejection and was fully prepared mentally. The most important thing tonight was to let Sister Qingxi see his feelings.

But sister Qingxi said she likes him too.

He has a place in Sister Qingxi's heart.

This is nothing, it's just the stepping stone to love for him.

"Did you hear what I said next?" Ling Qingyan couldn't help laughing.

"I heard it." Cui Huailang looked at her, "Although I like Sister Qingxi, I secretly want her to favor me."

"But as a friend, I have to talk about you. I think you've fallen into a dead end." Cui Huailang said seriously, "You are good enough, Sister Qingxi. You should accept everything about yourself."

"Whether you're attracted to one person or many people, there's nothing to blame yourself for. You haven't caused any harm to others. On the contrary, wherever you are, that's where happiness lies."

"The fact that you're attracted to some people only proves that no one has the ability to make Qingxi like only him. That's his problem, not yours."

"You are good enough. Follow your heart and choose the life you want."

The young man spoke seriously, and Ling Qingyan listened seriously as well. The moonlight shone on the two of them, and they seemed to be coated with a layer of moonlight.

A quiet and beautiful conversation.

Ling Qingyan listened to his words and gave him a bright smile.

"This flower is so beautiful, I'll take it." Ling Qingyan picked up the flower beside her and sniffed it.

This scene happened to be seen by three people who rushed over.
