The smile didn't disappear.
It simply moved from the little girl's face to the older girl's face.
Ji Qingqian entered the door with light and quick steps.
The young girl soliciting business glanced timidly at Lu Yibei and whispered an apology:
"My brother is handsome too..."
Lu Yibei was helpless.
No, heroine, who is older, you or him?
Lu Yibei glanced inside the shop, then squatted down and ruffled the little girl's hair:
"Brother, go buy flowers for the pretty lady now. Tell the shopkeeper that you invited her here, and ask her to buy you some snacks, okay?"
The little girl's dark eyes blinked, and her smile returned:
Okay~~
Although, but.
The little girl suddenly realized that the older sister was right to scold him; the older brother was indeed very handsome.
It's as pretty as Lay's potato chips.
When Lu Yibei entered the room, the little girl followed him in, running in as well.
"Don't run around, little girl."
The female warrior Qingqian seemed to be asking the proprietress something in a low voice. The proprietress called out to her daughter loudly before continuing to talk to the former.
Lu Yibei casually glanced at the baby's breath, sunflowers, and roses of various colors that were displayed as samples.
"Hey Qingqian, what kind of flower do you like?"
Lu Yibei looked at the flowers while asking questions.
He wanted to buy a bouquet for her.
Although this wasn't exactly a surprise, he had really gone to great lengths just for that sunrise confession ceremony.
Sending flowers like this may not be as romantic as sending them at sunrise, but it's quite fitting for ordinary life.
And the essence of romance is life itself.
Ji Qingqian did not reply.
Lu Yibei pretended not to hear and was about to turn around and ask her again.
Then he saw it.
The florist brought over a bouquet of glacier blue roses and handed it to Ji Qingqian:
"It's been ready for a while now. If you hadn't come to pick it up soon, I would have called to urge you..."
Ji Qingqian was clearly not as at ease when facing the little girl's mother as she was when facing the little girl herself. She pursed her lips and apologized softly.
The proprietress, being a businesswoman, was naturally adept at social maneuvering. Seeing that Ji Qingqian remained silent, she consulted her advisor:
"It's rare to see a young girl your age buying roses for her boyfriend?"
"Um."
"Wow, your boyfriend is so lucky... Not only is his girlfriend beautiful, but she's also so good to him."
Ji Qingqian smiled gently.
She ordered the flowers online and could leave after picking them up.
The proprietress was about to serve another customer in the shop.
A young man.
She has a keen eye; she could tell at a glance that this young man was picking out a gift for his girlfriend…
—The landlady had just gone to the inner room to get something and did not hear Lu Yibei calling Ji Qingqian.
Before the proprietress could even reach the new customer, Ji Qingqian appeared beside him as if leaping lightly, handing him a bouquet of ice-blue roses:
"Abei, this is for you."
Lu Yibei considers himself to be quite eloquent and quick-witted, able to give the most reasonable response even in the face of unexpected situations.
This time.
When he saw Ji Qingqian accept the bouquet from the proprietress, he basically guessed what would happen next.
Even after she handed him the bouquet, which he had already taken, he still hadn't realized what was happening.
Lu Yibei was stunned, as if he were a wooden chicken.
Ji Qingqian's eyebrows curved into a smile.
She gazed into Lu Yibei's eyes, which were turbulent, like ripples spreading across the surface.
Ji Qingqian immediately took Lu Yibei's hand and walked to the door, not forgetting to turn back and say goodbye to the proprietress.
The proprietress was also somewhat taken aback. She hadn't expected the couple to come together, nor had she expected that... the couple would look so well-matched.
"That's great." The proprietress smiled.
Only the little maid beside her pouted sadly.
Nannan didn't understand anything; all she knew was that her snacks were probably out of the question.
Liar, big brother.
…
Lu Yibei held the flowers.
He gazed at the icy blue color on the petals.
Ji Qingqian's voice was quite soft, but it was just loud enough for Lu Yibei to hear:
"Abei, I was so happy when you confessed your feelings to me."
"Then I thought about it."
"I wish you could experience it just once."
"But you've already confessed to me, and we're already together. It would be strange if someone else confessed to you. I don't think you'd be happy about it... and I don't want to see that happen either."
"But everyone should be confessed to at least once in their life, right? I don't want you to miss out on such an unforgettable experience."
"That's why I came in person."
"I've already agreed to be your girlfriend, so it would be weird to ask you if you want to be my boyfriend now."
"So, Ah Bei."
Ji Qingqian stopped and looked at Lu Yibei with her hands behind her back.
Lu Yibei didn't expect her to suddenly stop. By the time he realized she had stopped, there was already a four or five-step gap between them.
Ji Qingqian watched Lu Yibei's back. After he turned his head, she quickly ran up to him and whispered in his ear.
"I feel so lucky that you can be my boyfriend."
She parted her lips slightly and spoke softly, then pressed her forehead against Lu Yibei's, a slight, joyful smile curving her lips: "Thank you."
When their eyes met, which were filled with a gentle smile, their eyelashes almost touched.
Lu Yibei sniffed, his nose stinging slightly, and he managed to keep his voice from trembling:
