The next day at dawn.

Su Qiluo looked at the bouquet of champagne-colored roses in her hand and a smile appeared on her lips.

The rose was adorned with gold leaf and surrounded by baby's breath of the same color. The decorative paper was white and tied with a white string trimmed with small gold edges.

This bouquet of flowers is worth a lot of money on this planet.

Ordinary ornamental flowers are easy to produce, but this champagne color requires careful mixing to achieve.

Last night he went to the doctor's place, and while the doctor was drinking tea and soaking his feet for health, he brought out this bouquet of champagne-colored roses for himself.

The PhD student, who still had a mouthful of hot tea in his mouth, almost spat water in his face when he heard the purpose of the visit.

Later, the doctor scolded him for a while, and he lay flat and let the scolding continue without retaliating at all.

The professor let out a sigh of relief, slammed the cup on the table, stood up, and ran into the lab in his slippers and pajamas.

So, early the next morning, as soon as he woke up on the sofa, there was a bunch of champagne-colored roses on the coffee table next to him.

"Squeak—"

The door in front of her was pushed open, and Mu Qingyun appeared in a pure white dress, with long wigs curled into small waves that cascaded down her back and chest.

She wore simple makeup, delicate yet not heavy, with some sparkling transparent stars at the corners of her eyes, making her look bright and dazzling.

"Good morning."

Su Qiluo was stunned by Mu Qingyun's beauty and, after a few seconds of daze, handed her the champagne-colored roses he was holding.

"Beautiful." Mu Qingyun smiled politely, hugged the flower to her chest, and gently pinched the petals.

The simulated texture is soft and delicate, showing that Su Qiluo put a lot of care into it.

"Do you know what day it is today?" She placed the flowers in front of her, tilted her head, and asked earnestly.

What day is it?

Su Qiluo raised an eyebrow. This question seemed like a death sentence, but there didn't seem to be anything special about it today.

It wasn't a holiday or a day with any special meaning. He and Mu Qingyun hadn't even been together for 21 days, so there was no anniversary to speak of.

"Today is the Flower Temple Festival." Seeing Su Qiluo's confused expression, she didn't tease him and directly answered her question.

"Flower Temple Festival?"

Upon hearing about this unfamiliar holiday, Su Qiluo's expression of confusion deepened. How come he didn't know there was such a holiday?

"If you don't believe me, search it online." Mu Qingyun switched the flowers in her other hand and gestured for him to look at her phone.

Last night she "asked" Mu Jingfeng to designate today as the "Flower Temple Festival," a new holiday with half a day off for the entire planet.

The Flower Temple Festival can be considered another Valentine's Day. Unlike Valentine's Day, the Flower Temple Festival allows for a half-day off, just to give loving couples a day to rest.

Su Qiluo did indeed find the festival on her phone, and also discovered that it was a festival that the king had temporarily ordered to be established last night.

"So, the phone call last night was because of this?" Su Qiluo smiled and looked up at her.

"Mm." She nodded with a light laugh, hugging the bouquet tighter. "Let's go, first stop, a place where we can go boating."

Can we go boating?

Upon hearing this, Su Qiluo seriously thought about it in her mind, and it seemed that there really was a place for boating.

...

The car was going incredibly fast, and Su Qiluo switched to automatic driving, pushing the speed to the maximum.

Thanks to rapid technological advancements, even at high speeds, the ride inside a car is remarkably smooth, to the point where you could easily place an open bottle of water inside.

Mu Qingyun put the flowers aside, straightened her wig, looked at her perfect makeup in the mirror, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Today's itinerary is as follows: first, we'll go boating; then we'll carve a stone, grinding an uneven stone into the shape of a heart; after that, we'll go to the temple to pray and ring the bell; finally, we'll go home, and I'll give you a surprise." She turned to look at Su Qiluo beside her and slowly explained the date's plans for the day.

"Okay, I'll be waiting for your surprise." Su Qiluo's heart stirred, and he reached out to touch her wig, his fingertips running through the strands of hair. "Grow your hair long in the future, it looks really good."

"Okay, if you say you'll stay, I'll stay for you." She smiled slightly, then suddenly leaned closer, their faces facing each other, no more than 2 centimeters apart.

Her contact lenses swirled slightly in her eyes as she looked at Su Qiluo, pouting slightly. Her pursed lips formed a prominent cupid's bow, making her look very approachable.

This little thing is trying to hook people again.

Su Qiluo looked at her cupid's bow, took out the plastic wrap he had prepared beforehand, stuck it on his own lips, and pressed it against her cupid's bow.

As he got close, she immediately backed away, raised her hands to press down on his shoulders, and playfully stuck out a bit of her tongue to lick her lower lip. "No, I didn't bring any lipstick. If you kiss me and it smudges, I won't be able to touch up my makeup."

It was intentional, definitely intentional.

Seeing her smug smile, Su Qiluo couldn't help but laugh out of anger. She was so audacious because she saw that he couldn't do anything.

Fine, what can he do? If he's not happy, he can only keep it to himself!

He forced a smile, pulled her hand into his, and said, "We can't kiss, but we can always hold hands."

"Hmm." She pursed her lips, her eyes full of triumphant smiles. Who told him to suddenly abandon her and go back last night?

She holds grudges very well.

The car soon arrived at its destination, and the two got out and walked towards the lake.

There was no one in the lake; it was completely empty. Mu Qingyun looked around at the lake, which had nothing but water, and sighed helplessly.

It seems that people in this era don't like boating.

"Wait for me." Su Qiluo walked towards the innermost part of the room, where he remembered there was a small tent belonging to a caretaker.

I had been here by chance before, and I knew the manager. There was also a small submarine here. Although you couldn't go boating, you could at least take a stroll on the lake.

After walking for a while, he found the small tent.

Inside the tent, the administrator faced the lake, holding a small wine glass, enjoying the scenery while sipping his wine.

Su Qiluo followed his gaze and looked ahead. The lake was utterly desolate, with nothing but slightly polluted water.

The administrator sensed movement behind him and was wondering who would come to this godforsaken place when he turned around and met Su Qiluo's gaze.

The administrator's current mood: ? ? ? !

"General Su?" he called out softly in shock, his face full of disbelief.

Why would General Su come here?

"Yes, it's me." Su Qiluo nodded and said calmly, "We've met before."

"Ah, yes, we've met once, once." After confirming it was him, the administrator smiled so broadly that his wrinkles appeared. "General Su, what brings you here? Are you here to purify the water source?"
