Tang Li's smile froze instantly.
No matter how much you try to avoid someone you can't shake off, it's all in vain.
She ultimately couldn't escape.
Tang Li resignedly accepted the flowers, and was about to make up an excuse when Lu Zhixing preemptively took them:
"You probably haven't had time to see today's news yet, have you?"
After being startled by him like that, she had no time to watch the news.
However, the plane was already taxiing and my phone was in airplane mode, so even if something terrible happened, I had to wait until I got off the plane to talk about it.
"It's already this late anyway, so there's no harm in watching the news later. We can watch it after we get off the plane."
Lu Zhixing smiled and nodded.
Because of the rebooking, Tang Li arrived in Lucheng more than an hour earlier than scheduled. Holding a rose, she became the center of attention as she disembarked from the plane.
To make matters worse, Tang Li received another bouquet of flowers as soon as she stepped out of the airport.
It was a gift from Song Beiye.
Preserved flowers.
It represents love that never fades.
It also has a flower language: "I give you my love, and I will never love anyone else in this life."
Tang Li knew the meaning of this flower all too well.
Song Beiye had probably read her works and knew that Tang Li had given the immortal flower another meaning in the book, calling it:
Unless I turn to dust and my bones turn to dust, I will protect you until you live a hundred years without worry.
"What? You don't like these flowers? Or do you not like the flowers I gave you?"
Seeing that Tang Li did not reach out to take it, Song Beiye stared at the bouquet of roses in Tang Li's arms and asked.
If she didn't accept the flowers from Song Beiye, it would seem as if she and Lu Zhixing had tacitly accepted some kind of relationship and feelings.
To show that he treated them both equally, Tang Li accepted the flowers graciously and thanked them.
"This is the first time I've ever received flowers when I boarded a plane and been picked up when I got off. Although I only think the two kinds of flowers you gave me are pretty, I don't know their names. But it doesn't matter. People are always more happy than unknown when it comes to beautiful things."
Flowers can be harvested.
The feelings had to be returned.
Song Beiye glared at Lu Zhixing, clearly unconvinced, and pointed to the preserved flower, intending to give a brief introduction, but Tang Li preemptively asked:
How did you know I would come?
After asking Tang Li, he immediately went to see Lu Zhixing.
Lu Zhixing hurriedly distanced himself from the situation:
"It's definitely not me. He's my rival in love right now, and it's a very intense competition. I'm not that confident that I would bring the woman I like to my rival's territory to give him the opportunity to fawn over her."
Tang Li ignored the parts of Song Beiye's words that she didn't want to hear and looked at him again.
Song Beiye said as he walked:
"I did some calculations and determined that today was the day to avoid brute force and violence, but the day to boldly pursue love was the day I met the love of my life at the airport.
These two...
They are truly a perfect match!
Tang Li glared at him:
"If you're going to keep talking like this, then you've already sent the flowers and expressed your feelings. I can tell you clearly right now, even if I were a girl who only has a love-struck mind, I would know that a playboy like you is someone you should never touch."
Tang Li rejected Song Beiye's advances decisively.
But Song Beiye was unwilling to give up:
"Am I a womanizer? Am I a playboy? Where did these rumors come from? I'm going to find the source and nip them in the bud."
Seeing Song Beiye staring at him through gritted teeth, Lu Zhixing immediately clarified:
"It wasn't me; I wouldn't stoop to doing something so stupid."
Song Beiye tried his best to defend himself:
"Darling, you have to believe me. I may be a bit handsome and look like a playboy, but in reality, whether I can have you or not, I will only love you in this life."
Tang Li, holding a bouquet of flowers, was quite eye-catching, so he turned his head and asked:
"Since you only love me in this life, you have to show some real effort, right? I don't have good teeth, I can't handle such a hard thing."
Song Beiye was secretly delighted:
"Is there anything I can do for you?"
Tang Li casually stuffed the flowers into his arms:
"As a gentleman, it shouldn't be too much to help the girl you like carry her things, right?"
Song Beiye shook his head:
"It's not excessive, but..."
"As long as it's not too much." Tang Li finally stretched, yawned, and quickly walked outside.
Song Beiye stopped Lu Zhixing and returned the bouquet of roses to him:
"Take your own flowers."
Lu Zhixing accepted the flowers and then extended his hand to him, indicating:
"You can give me this bouquet of flowers too. It's something I should do to help the girl I like carry her things."
So that means...
Song Beiye immediately felt he had been cheated.
While the two were secretly competing over a bouquet of flowers, Tang Li had already reached the airport exit, quickly got into a taxi, and sped away.
When Song Beiye chased after the car, he only had time to write down the license plate number.
On the bus, the driver asked:
"Young lady, where are you going?"
Tang Li thought about it and realized that Song Beiye and Lu Zhixing might be up to something for no reason and might even be secretly competing with each other.
Tang Li, who didn't want to see them, asked the driver:
"Brother, where's the best hotel around here?"
The driver glanced back and smiled.
"Young lady, you're here to heal your wounds, right? Judging from your appearance, you seem to have high standards for your quality of life. You could stay at that hotel with the famous infinity pool. They have seafood buffet, it's not expensive, and the environment is nice. Apart from the price being a bit steep, everything else is great."
As long as everything is fine.
