Today is February 14th, Valentine's Day. In the 1990s, young people didn't really like celebrating Western holidays, so this holiday was quite ordinary, and no one took it too seriously. There was no festive atmosphere in department stores either.
Xiaohua is so busy and tired every day that she doesn't get enough sleep, and as a single person, she doesn't care about February 14th.
She's so busy every day that she probably doesn't even know it's December 14th.
But Zhou Musheng is different. He is an overseas Chinese who grew up in a Western country, so he pays relatively more attention to these Western holidays.
He took the gift he had prepared beforehand and the bouquet of flowers he had ordered, and drove himself to Xiaohua's house.
He parked his car downstairs in Xiaohua's apartment complex and called her to come down. Xiaohua had received a call from Zhou Musheng early that morning, and thinking that he was coming to see her so early, she figured he must have something important to tell her.
Xiao Hua didn't dare to delay at all, so she ran downstairs without even combing her hair, wearing only her pajamas and slippers.
She saw Zhou Musheng standing in front of the car with a bouquet of flowers, smiling as he watched her run over.
Xiao Fa's inner monologue: Oh my god, what's going on? Why is he holding a bouquet of flowers? Are they for her?
Please allow her to indulge in her own wishful thinking for a moment.
So he called her down early in the morning just to bring her a bouquet of flowers?
Is today some important day?
"Mr. Zhou... what is this...?"
This made Xiaohua stutter and speak incoherently.
"happy holidays!"
Zhou Musheng offered his blessings.
Xiaohua asked, somewhat confused, "Mr. Zhou, is today a holiday? I'm truly flattered that you're giving me flowers."
"Valentine's Day? Don't you know it's Valentine's Day today?" Zhou Musheng was very surprised that Xiaohua didn't know what holiday it was. As a girl, it was indeed a bit strange that she didn't even know it was Valentine's Day.
"Is today February 14th? I'm so busy every day that I don't even know what day it is."
There are two Valentine's Days a year. The Eastern Valentine's Day is on July 7th, which is in the sweltering heat of summer. Now it's still late winter and spring hasn't even arrived yet. So today is the Western Valentine's Day, February 14th.
Why would he send her flowers on Valentine's Day? Their relationship doesn't seem suitable for Valentine's Day. If she accepts his flowers, what excuse would she use to do so?
"Don't you like the flowers?" Zhou Musheng asked, noticing her hesitation in accepting them.
"No, no, I really like flowers. What girl doesn't like flowers?" Little Flower smiled sweetly.
She looks just like a silly daughter of a landlord.
"If that's the case, why don't you accept it? Is it because you don't want what I'm giving you?" Zhou Musheng's attitude seemed somewhat aggressive at this moment.
Xiaohua was a little flustered.
"Mr. Zhou... what do you mean by this?"
"It doesn't mean anything, just like you think."
Xiaohua really wanted to ask him, "What am I thinking? Please explain it clearly, okay? I'm really afraid that I'm just imagining things again, okay?"
Since they offered the flowers willingly, it would indeed be awkward for both of them not to accept them. As for what Zhou Musheng really meant, as long as he didn't directly say that Xiaohua was thinking of him, they would just pretend not to know.
She'd wait until he told her before making any plans; she didn't want to be presumptuous again and embarrass herself.
