Chapter 227: Birds See Only Splendor
Like Go, flower arrangement is also a very niche course in the Lehman Empire.
This is not because this course is only for noble Omegas, but because among the more than 300 planets in the empire, except for the more than 100 planets located in the S, A, and B planetary belts, the C and lower planets are not suitable for plant survival. Even many humans live in underground cities where they cannot see natural light all year round.
Because of this, for many people in the empire, fresh fruits, vegetables, flowers, plants and trees are rare luxuries. Only citizens of planets such as S, A and B can often see, use or eat them.
Of course, relying on the developed star network, most people can still access those beautiful things in the holographic star network.
But even so, due to stereotypes, Betas and Alphas will hardly ever try flower arrangement, a course that is generally considered to be something only Omegas learn.
Perhaps because of this, when everyone saw Shen Qingzhu gently picking and pruning the branches, they were stunned for a long time.
[(Dazed) Although I have said it many times, I still want to say that Zhu Zong is really a very, very, very special Alpha! ]
[Yes, although there are always some spoilers who jump out to belittle Zhu Zong, saying that Zhu Zong is rude and embarrassing for Alphas, but gentleness does not mean weakness. Elegant manners and calm demeanor will only make him more charming. At least as an Omega, I prefer gentle and elegant Alphas like Zhu Zong. ]
[Beta also likes Alphas like Take-sensei the most!!! (Very loud)]
【+1】【+2】【+StarNet ID】……
[So how is Mr. Zhu's flower arrangement level? ]
[(Chin on hand) I can’t tell yet, but I thought Zhu always liked flowers that were more elegant, but I didn’t expect him to choose flowers that bloom so vigorously.]
[Goose yellow, bright gold, maple red, bright blue...the colors are indeed very bold and bright~]
Not only the netizens who were watching the live broadcast, but also the nobles at the banquet were curious about what kind of flower arrangement Shen Qingzhu would eventually create.
However, flower arranging, like Go, is very time-consuming.
The protagonists today are not Shen Qingzhu and Hardy, so after receiving Shen Qingzhu's suggestive look, Duke Situ smiled knowingly and quickly invited the Duke of Thebes beside him to continue visiting other small activities held in the two countries.
With the leadership of Duke Situ, the crowd that had originally gathered here suddenly became much smaller.
Most of the people who are still staying here are young people who are very interested in Shen Qingzhu.
After the elders who had put pressure on them left, the young people gradually became more lively.
The Omega with Yuan Ge was the first to approach Shen Qingzhu and Hadi, and asked with a smile, "Can we join us?"
Hadi was puzzled when he heard this, because this was originally an event organized by Yuange. He then saw that the Omegas were looking at Shen Qingzhu with burning curiosity and passion in their eyes. Hadi couldn't help but roll his eyes, realizing that these guys had other intentions. He immediately scolded them with a smile, "Didn't you prepare these flowers, vases, and ornaments? If you want to play, then play. No one is stopping you."
The young people in Yuange suddenly burst into laughter. Omegas, Betas and Alphas quickly rolled up their sleeves and gathered around Shen Qingzhu.
The Lehmans who saw this scene: …
[Hahaha why do I feel like Mr. Zhu has entered the Pansi Cave! (dog head)]
[Lehman's little cuties, don't just stand there and watch! Go save Mr. Zhu! ]
To everyone's surprise, the first Leman to step forward was actually a young male Alpha.
The young Alpha in ancient Chinese dress slowly approached the flower arrangement area, blushing slightly as he said, "...I want to try it too, is that okay?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone inside and outside the flower arrangement area, including the netizens who were watching the live broadcast, suddenly looked at him.
Shen Qingzhu also raised his eyes to look at the little Alpha with black hair and brown eyes. After seeing the necklace-shaped suppression ring worn obediently around his neck, he smiled gently and immediately made a "please" gesture to the little Alpha.
The little Alpha's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly ran to Shen Qingzhu's side, forcibly squeezing away Yuange Omega who was trying to get close to Shen Qingzhu. Then he took a deep breath, lowered his head to select flowers, and whispered, "Boss Zhu, I like you so much!"
After saying that, the little Alpha's face suddenly turned even redder, and his lips were pursed tightly, showing visibly embarrassed.
Shen Qingzhu knew that he had some fans among the young Alphas.
However, Shen Qingzhu was still somewhat surprised to see such a little Alpha who took him as his role model on an occasion like today.
Although it was unexpected, Shen Qingzhu would never let any goodwill go to waste.
So he quickly curved his eyebrows and whispered back, "Thank you for liking it."
Because the voice was too soft, even Hardy, who was sitting on the other side of Shen Qingzhu, couldn't hear it clearly.
But the sound recording of the live camera was very good, so this scene was still clearly seen by many netizens.
[He really is, I am crying my ass off, how can Mr. Zhu be so gentle to Alpha?! (Screaming) (Screaming) If this continues, I will become gay too! (Holding my head and screaming)]
[? The one in front is A? What do you mean by 'I'm going to be gay too'? Is there really an Alpha around you who likes Mr. Zhu? ]
[(Lights a cigarette) Let's be frank. In fact, Zhu Zong's influence among young Alphas is already unimaginable. I used to be a straight Alpha, but after a quick glance at Zhu Zong's vlog a year ago, I knew I was done. (Bends like a mosquito coil)]
[Shen Qingzhu is really a very special Alpha, so special that it makes people feel incredible. In fact, for most Alphas, being told "like" by another Alpha is really disgusting, even if it is just a friend's like. After all, Alphas repel each other, and some Alphas may even be bullied by the entire Alpha group because of this.]
[? Although I am a Beta and don't really understand the twists and turns of Alpha, isn't it normal to like Zhu Zong? Because Zhu Zong himself is equivalent to "beauty", right? It is human nature to be attracted to all beautiful things! ]
[Correct answer, I always feel that Mr. Zhu’s beauty has transcended gender. It’s not just because he looks good, his inner self is also shining. ]
[Some people have always said that Zhu Zong is only gentle to Omegas and that it is all fake, but in fact, if you observe a little, you will find that Zhu Zong is actually very gentle to all those who are kind to him or have not offended him, such as this little Alpha. The reason why some Alphas think that Zhu Zong is two-faced is because they have a bad impression of Zhu Zong, so they think that Zhu Zong is acting no matter what he does. ]
[(Speaking boldly) Because Zhu Zong has raised the dating standards of all Omegas and Betas in the empire, it has also made many people realize that there are not only arrogant, unreasonable, rude and disrespectful Alphas in the world! Alphas can also be pure, gentle, polite and respectful to everyone equally!!! (Shocking voice)]
[(dazed) If these descriptions appeared on another person, I would doubt whether they hired a group of trolls, but when they were applied to Zhu Zong, it made sense. (dazed)]
[(The music continues and the dance continues) The words of netizens this time are so nice to hear, keep praising me and don’t stop! (Listening to the rainbow fart happily)]
…
Unlike the netizens who suddenly started praising in the barrage, Ji Mingxue kept staring at Shen Qingzhu the whole time.
Of course Ji Mingxue also heard the little Alpha say that he liked Shen Qingzhu, but he and Shen Qingzhu could see that the little Alpha did not have any ambiguous intentions. His eyes were full of excitement, embarrassment and joy of seeing his idol.
There was nothing wrong with Shen Qingzhu's response because he was such a gentle person.
Flower arranging is an activity that tests one’s aesthetic sense and hands-on ability.
Because she has been living with Shen Qingzhu, Ji Mingxue can always see various exquisite flower arrangements in many corners of the house. So Ji Mingxue knows very well that Shen Qingzhu has a very high aesthetic quotient. Even a few weeds can be arranged by him to make them fresh and elegant, bright and beautiful, or full of wild interest.
I don’t know what kind of work Shen Qingzhu will produce this time?
…
Since the young Alpha took the lead and stepped forward, many of the onlookers, including the Lehman Omegas, Betas, and even a few Alphas, joined in this small flower arrangement activity.
After other Lehman Alphas got involved, the little Alpha who was originally a little uncomfortable sitting next to Shen Qingzhu finally relaxed gradually, because he was no longer the eye-catching and special one.
Thinking of this, the little Alpha was both amazed and impressed by Shen Qingzhu, who remained calm and composed from beginning to end and did not care about so many different looks.
Little Alpha really likes flower arranging.
Because he was weak and sickly since childhood, he had to spend his time in a nutrition cabin for a while. Flower arranging was one of the very few activities he could do alone and truly come into contact with living things.
Later, his health improved and he was finally able to get out of bed and move around, but he differentiated again into Alpha.
Alpha's world has Alpha's rules.
After becoming an Alpha, the little Alpha who was finally able to go out discovered that many activities he used to take for granted, such as playing the piano and chess, flower arranging and cooking, would be despised and ridiculed among the Alphas. In more serious cases, he would even be bullied by the group or suffer physical harm.
He was just an Alpha from an ordinary aristocratic family, and he was weak in body. He didn't dare to confront those tall and strong Alphas head-on.
Thus, the musical instruments, chessboard, kitchen, and flowers and plants that had accompanied him through the most difficult times of his life, all became secrets that he dared not reveal to outsiders.
Even his family would occasionally remind him that since he had differentiated into an Alpha, he should stop fiddling with those things, otherwise it would be difficult for him to find a partner in the future.
Little Alpha was very disappointed about this for a while, because he felt that he was out of tune with the whole world.
He was obviously just doing what he liked.
Those things are beautiful enough.
How come once he differentiated into an Alpha, even his hobbies were divided into different levels?
Little Alpha originally thought that he would be out of place all his life.
It wasn't until a year ago that Shen Qingzhu emerged and broke the entire empire's stereotype of Alpha with his gentle yet firm attitude.
Zhu Zong even knows how to play chess and arrange flowers.
Same as him.
God knows how excited and happy little Apha was when he saw Mr. Zhu win the game so calmly and beautifully a moment ago.
Perhaps because of this, after thinking that today might be the only time in his life that he could be in such close contact with Mr. Zhu, the little Alpha decisively went ahead when Mr. Zhu started to arrange flowers!
He even talked to Zhu Zong! He even expressed his love for Zhu Zong! Zhu Zong responded to him so gently!
Ahhhh!
Mr. Zhu is indeed as kind-hearted and beautiful as he has always seen!
But then again, for an Alpha as modest and gentlemanly as Mr. Zhu, his flower arranging style should also be fresh and elegant, right?
Thinking of this, the little Alpha subconsciously glanced at the counter next door.
Upon seeing this, the little Alpha was stunned, and all he saw was a magnificent scene.
At the same time, Hardy, who was arranging flowers on the other side of Shen Qingzhu, couldn't help but come over and look at the extremely vivid and gorgeous flower plate with admiration on his face, "I didn't expect you to have this style."
Shen Qingzhu tidied up the last branch and took a few steps back to see if there was anything else that needed to be adjusted. Hearing this, he just smiled and said nothing.
As it stepped back, the bright and colorful flower disk immediately caught everyone's attention.
Contrary to what many people expected, Shen Qingzhu did not choose those fresh and elegant flowers and plants, but instead chose many colorful and bright flowers.
However, the overall color of the flower disk is still dominated by golden color, dotted with a large number of golden-red flowers and plants that are as light as feathers. The flowers and plants are layered and staggered, as if gorgeous tail feathers are dancing above the flowers, and upwards are a pair of soaring golden wings, an elegant and proud neck, and a dazzling and exquisite crown.
[Fuck! Phoenix???!]
【(sluggish)】
[(stunned) I just saw it clearly, how did this Phoenix do it???]
[It's not just the Phoenix, QuQ! Look at the flowers and plants of all sizes and colors around you. Do they look like other kinds of birds? I saw a Strelitzia reginae! ! ]
[The white one looks like it’s about to fly up, and so does the blue-purple one! ]
[The green one on the lower right seems to be secretly climbing up haha]
[The one in the middle left with its tail spread upwards is a peacock? 】
[(Microscope) Is the dark brown one behind the camera a falcon? ]
【(Shocked) So this is 'A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix'???】
[Mom asked me why I was kneeling to watch the live broadcast OTL and then I found out that I could watch it while kneeling! (Kneeling properly)]
[(Dazed) I am an Omega, and I can't create flower arrangements of this level. ]
【+1】【+2】【+StarNet ID】
[Mr. Zhu, if you continue to be so bad, not only will Alphas be unable to find a partner, but Omegas and Betas will also be too self-conscious to hold their heads up! (Laughing and crying)]
[(sourly) President Ji is really lucky (whispering)]
After seeing this comment, many people remembered that the phoenix is the totem of the Ji family and is also the most common decoration on Ji Mingxue.
When netizens thought of the dark gold phoenix feather patterns on Mr. Zhu's dress today, and the large and small gold embellishments on his body, and then looked at the bright "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix", they suddenly felt like they had swallowed a ton of dog food. They were choked and rolled their eyes, but also cried out in sweetness.
Even netizens who have little experience in flower arrangement can see the meaning of this flower plate. How could Hardy and other people in the flower arrangement area not see it?
After being shown off by Shen Qingzhu again, Hardy couldn't help laughing out loud. He teased Shen Qingzhu while laughing, "Is this what you meant by only having attended a few classes?"
Shen Qingzhu looked at the flower plate with a smile, "I have thought about it in my mind before."
Seeing that he was telling the truth, Hadi still gave him a thumbs up, "Then you are awesome too!"
After all, no matter how carefully many people think, their true colors will be revealed once they take action.
Since Shen Qingzhu can create such amazing works, it is clear that his selection, processing, design and hands-on ability of flowers and vases are top-notch.
There are not many Alphas in Yuange who can reach this level.
It can be seen that Shen Qingzhu is really amazing.
"It's so beautiful. Can I take it away after the banquet?" Hardy suddenly asked Shen Qingzhu as he liked the lifelike "Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" more and more.
Shen Qingzhu smiled and rejected him, "Sorry, I have someone I want to give this work to."
Hadi and everyone else immediately became inspired, some looked at Shen Qingzhu with a mocking expression, and some swiped the screen frantically on the bullet screen -
[It’s for President Ji, right? ! ! ! ]
[This dog food smells so good! I want to eat it, is that okay? Woof woof woof! ]
Shen Qingzhu smiled without saying anything. He just called a service robot and asked it to help take care of the flower plate. He would take it away personally after the banquet.
The flower disc was so beautiful that it could be called a work of art, and gradually attracted many people to come and admire and take pictures.
Seeing that the young Yuange people led by Hardy were no longer deliberately targeting Lehmann, Shen Qingzhu unnoticedly pulled himself out of the crowd, and nodded slightly to Ji Mingfeng who had been watching him from afar, indicating that he would go outside to get some fresh air.
It happened that Ji Mingfeng was being pulled by Duke Situ, interacting with Yuange's nobles, and was unable to get away for the time being. After hesitating for a moment, he saw Shen Qingzhu walking out alone in a low-key manner.
Ji Mingfeng quickly scanned the entire venue and confirmed that Lehman and Yuange were all still there, with no one missing. Only then did he feel relieved.
But he obviously let go of this too early.
Just a few steps out of the banquet hall, Shen Qingzhu met a person who had not appeared at the banquet at all in the corridor at the corner.
At the same time, the live camera that had been secretly following Shen Qingzhu also captured the man clearly.
After seeing the familiar face on the projection screen that was so beautiful that it was dazzling, as if there was fire burning in its eyes, the barrage of comments suddenly boiled over——
[Fuck! Ji Mingzhuo??? ! ! ! ! ]
