Liuyin City.

"Boss, I successfully rescued the seaweed."

Xiang Yang ran back holding a seaweed ball.

"I thought you were going to be arrested."

Bai Yu looked up from the pile of documents, somewhat surprised.

"The executive officer was not there, so I used the ID in your drawer to open the door, and then I ran into a stupid guy who happened to be holding seaweed in his hand. I tricked him into becoming crippled."

Xiang Yang puffed out his chest proudly.

"You actually secretly used the ID I kept in the drawer. Do you want to become a fried melon seed?"

Bai Yu narrowed his eyes.

"Ahem, Boss, I'm giving it back to you."

...

...

Seeing the air pressure around Bai Yu drop, Xiang Yang's eyes rolled, and the energy in his body flowed. After a moment, he turned into a young man with blond hair and golden eyes who looked to be in his twenties.

Afterwards, Xiang Yang recalled Chu Zehuai's appearance in his memory, adjusted his hairstyle, and looked at Bai Yu with golden eyes.

"Boss, look, I look so much like him. Can you bear to do anything cruel to my handsome face? Besides, when he's not around, I can be your substitute."

When he disguised himself as Chu Xiangyang and successfully deceived the fool Crow, a bold idea took shape in his mind.

He has similar blond hair and golden eyes as Chu Zehuai. Why can't he use this unique advantage to do some good things that will make the boss happy?

The boss was happy, and he was not held accountable for stealing, so everyone was happy.

"You are nothing like him. Don't think about messy things every day."

Bai Yu twitched his lips and said.

Although they both have blonde hair and golden eyes, Sunflower's color is more of a lighter gold, while Chu Zehuai's color is more of a darker golden orange.

Besides, there is nothing similar between their faces.

"Well, then I'd better work hard and earn energy."

Xiang Yang sighed and pushed open the door. A pitch-black object rushed towards him, and the huge impact force knocked his entire plant back into the house.

After hearing the noise, Bai Yu stopped writing and looked at Xiang Yang's body...a matte black sunflower.

"What the hell is this?"

Bai Yu pulled up the matte black sunflower, and then saw this thing hugging him and starting to cry.

"I'm not a thing, I'm the Night Crow—"

The matte black sunflower pressed its two jet-black leaves against Bai Yu and howled loudly.

"Hiss, who was it I thought? Turns out it's my uncle."

Xiang Yang got up from the ground, leaned against the door frame with his arms folded across his chest, and looked at his masterpiece with teasing eyes.

"Who is he? And why is he in your office?"

Chu Zehuai originally wanted to say something to Bai Yu, but his eyes involuntarily fell on Xiang Yang beside him.

A young man with blond hair and golden eyes, an office with no one else in it...

"Xiao Bai, my brother came to elope with you, and you actually kept a substitute behind his back? Then I'm going to make a scene."

Lin Mo also reacted at this moment, and the whole big black-faced plate was shocked.

Since his brother has an illegitimate child outside, Xiaobai also started to play with substitute literature?

"Nothing."

Bai Yu looked at the noisy office with a headache, stuffed Lin Mo into Xiang Yang's arms, said "Change him back quickly", and pushed the two out of the office.

With a bang, the office door was closed, and the quiet atmosphere finally returned.

"That's not a stand-in, he's my subordinate. There's no relationship between us."

Bai Yu poured a glass of rose nectar for the other person and pushed it over.

"I thought you wouldn't come to see me so soon."

"Because Lin Mo suddenly turned into a sunflower."

Chu Zehuai took a sip, his long eyelashes falling.

"Also, I have some questions for you."

On the way here, he actually thought a lot and finally found some ways to connect with Bai Yu's brain circuits.

This plant really cannot think with human thinking. If you want to ask something, you must make it clear what you want to say. If you just say something ambiguous like "think about it yourself", "I'll give you a hint", "Don't you understand yet?" etc., the other party will not be able to think of that point at all.

As for why he didn't say anything in Qinghe City, it was purely because before he had the chance to say anything, Bai Yu proposed a fight. After the fight, Zhi ran away, leaving him no chance to ask anything.

The idea behind a fight is actually pretty easy to understand - the other party doesn't know why he's angry, but he still wants him to not be angry, so he just lets himself get hit a few times to cool down.

Of course, it is also possible that there is a deliberate attempt to test the subject.

"You can ask them one by one. I have plenty of time."

Bai Yu nodded and said.

"Let's start from the beginning. When you stood on the Sea Nightmare, what were you thinking about? Was it the joy of backstabbing both parties at the same time, or the ambition of becoming a god, or the pleasure of playing with everyone in the palm of your hand?"

Chu Zehuai clenched the cup in his hand.

"Also, why didn't you come to see me for the next forty-five days?"

Bai Yu recalled and said, "Well, you may not believe it, but my first thought at that time was that it was a good thing you were still alive."

Chu Zehuai was stunned.

"If I had gone a little later, would you have planned to die with the Sea Nightmare? You clearly said before that you would choose me over me in the mission, and that I was the only person you loved in the world. But within a few days, you were going to die for the mission."

"But, I also feel that even though you chose the mission in the end, it doesn't mean that there is a problem with our love. In fact, I still don't quite understand this thing."

Bai Yu stood up and took out a thick collection of romance novels from the bookshelf nearby. He flipped through the pages casually.

"I have read all the hundreds of stories in this book. Some people take things by force for love, some people let go for love, some people live for love, and some people die for love. Each of them said it was true love, but they made completely different choices."

Chu Zehuai paused: "What about you? What is your choice?"

Bai Yu lowered her long silver eyelashes and whispered:

"The definition of love is too vague and inaccurate. I don't really know it either. I only know that I hope you can survive. Even if you won't be by my side and even hate me, I hope you can live happily and safely in some corner of the world."

"As for your second question, I'm just afraid that you will hate me. I remember you once said that your dream is to remove all pollutants from the world, and then I thought that maybe you would feel better if I didn't appear in front of you."

Chu Zehuai thought of many answers, but he didn't expect this result:...

"Then have I ever told you that dreams always have to give way to reality? How can I feel good if you are not by my side?"

Chu Zehuai wanted to say a lot, but he felt that nothing he said would be appropriate, so he just reached out and touched the other person's cheek.

"Do you know what I'm thinking?"

"What?"

"I'm wondering what I did wrong to make you leave me and disappear without saying a word, to make you guess here and there, to believe that I would kill you rather than believe that I was waiting for your explanation. As a result, you kept thinking all sorts of nonsense."

Chu Zehuai held his forehead with his hand.

"You make me feel like we are two fools without brains. I don't know how we could have misunderstood each other for so many days."

"Don't say that. You do have a brain, but I really don't."

Bai Yu thought about the textbooks he had read before and corrected it seriously.

Plants have branches, leaves, flowers and roots, but they don't really have brains in the biological sense.

Chu Zehuai:.........

He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to compete with a plant without a brain.

"But if I really had a brain, I probably wouldn't have thought of this."

"Then what would you think?"

"If there is still a chance, I will love you again, and then win you back and ask you if you are willing to be with me."

"...Although you don't have a brain, I have to say that you succeeded in seducing me."

Chu Zehuai looked at the other person seriously with his golden-orange eyes.

"Is that your answer?"

Bai Yu blinked.

"I've made it so obvious. I came all the way from Qinghe City and I'm here, without any weapons, without any attack or defense. And you still don't understand my intentions?"

Chu Zehuai asked, and then, before waiting for the other party to answer, he muttered to himself, "No, it's still not clear enough. I should make it clearer."

For a plant that even admits that it has no brains, Chu Zehuai feels it is necessary to avoid any ambiguity in his words.

"I want to be with you, I want to stay by your side, I like you, do you understand now?"

Chu Zehuai stood up and pressed his whole body on the plant. Before the other party could react, he lowered his head and kissed it directly.

"If you still don't understand, would you like me to switch to the language of your plants?"

"Bai Yu, I want you to bloom for me."
