Chapter 147 Bouquet of Flowers I owe you the flowers I owe you these two days, here are the flowers for you. …
After taking out the key and opening the door, the room was quiet. My mother and Aunt Chen were still asleep.
Shen Qingye walked quietly, washed up, and was about to return to her room. But when he passed by Chen Linyue's door, he heard a slight sound. He turned his head and saw that it was Chen Linyue who opened the door.
"Are you back?" Shen Linyue leaned against the door, yawned lazily, and looked up at her.
Shen Qingye smiled: "I'm back. Did I wake you up?"
Shen Linyue shook her head and said casually: “No, I didn’t sleep well at night.”
She didn't say why she didn't sleep well, but just looked at her daughter and asked, "Have you been busy since yesterday?"
Shen Qingye nodded and complained to her mother in a long voice: "Yes, I'm so sleepy..."
Shen Linyue snorted, “You deserve it.”
Even though he said that, he felt a little distressed when he saw her haggard appearance, so he asked again, "Has the case been solved? Can you have a good rest at home today?"
Shen Qingye half closed his eyes and nodded indifferently: "Sure, I'll go to the team tomorrow."
Chen Linyue said: "That's fine, I'll ask Aunt Chen to make you something delicious to replenish your body later."
Shen Qingye hummed twice, and was about to rush into the room with his eyes half covered.
Shen Linyue was about to go back, but she suddenly saw something out of the corner of her eye and paused: "Wait a minute, why is your hair so messy?"
Shen Qingye looked back blankly, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his hair: "...Oh."
"Maybe I fell asleep in the car for a while."
"You? Did you sleep for a while in the car?" Shen Linyue frowned and glanced at her up and down: "You didn't come back by yourself?"
Shen Qingye paused, then slowly opened his misty eyes: "...No."
She said, looking around: "Yue Lingchuan sent me back."
Shen Linyue crossed her arms and looked at her with half-closed eyes. Shen Qingye coughed lightly: "What are you doing..."
Chen Linyue laughed from her nose: "So early in the morning, and the person left after sending you back?"
"What else?" she muttered.
Shen Linyue laughed, patted her, and said nothing more: “Okay, go to bed.”
Only then did Shen Qingye suppress the irritation on his face and turned back to his room.
Before she dived into the bed, there were still thousands of thoughts in her mind; but once she was buried in the quilt, heavy fatigue instantly covered up all her emotions. Shen Qingye didn't struggle at all and fell into a deep sleep.
I slept until twelve o'clock.
When Shen Qingye woke up, the sun was shining brightly outside the window. The light shining into the room was a bit dazzling.
She propped herself up and sat up stupidly, her eyelids half drooping. She was still a little dazed, but her nose couldn't help but move. She smelled the fragrance in the air and her stomach growled a few times.
I'm hungry.
He hadn't had a proper meal for the past two days, so even though Shen Qingye's sleepiness had not completely passed, his desire for food had taken over and temporarily prevailed.
As she stepped out of the room, the fragrance in the air became stronger. Shen Qingye leaned on the stair railing and looked at Aunt Chen busy in the kitchen. She couldn't help but asked, "Aunt Chen, what are you doing?"
Aunt Chen heard the voice and took a step back to look up. When she saw Shen Qingye, she smiled instantly: "Oh, Xiaofeng is awake?"
"You woke up just in time. The sour radish and duck soup I cooked is ready. Come over and try it!"
Shen Qingye took a deep breath, and his appetite was immediately whetted. He became more energetic: "I was wondering why it smelled so good so early in the morning. It woke me up with greed."
Aunt Chen gave her a doting look and said, "You've been busy for a few days, you should take some time to make up for it. Go wash your face and brush your teeth. I'll get you a bowl of cold soup first."
"Okay." Shen Qingye responded happily, went back to the room, washed up, changed clothes, and then went downstairs.
On the dining table was a bowl of cooled old duck soup and a basket of freshly baked dumplings. Shen Qingye took a sip of the soup and took a bite of the dumpling with thin skin and lots of meat. Feeling the soup bursting in his mouth, he couldn't help but let out a sigh and felt like he was coming back to life.
Aunt Chen looked at her and said with a smile, "Eat slowly, there's more, don't rush."
Shen Qingye nodded continuously: "Aunt Chen's cooking skills are so good! I didn't notice it at home, but in the past two days at work, I didn't get to eat the food you cooked, and then I realized that your cooking skills are really this good!"
She gave a thumbs up, and even though Aunt Chen knew she was teasing her, she couldn't help but smile: "You, if it tastes good, eat more. If it's not enough, there's more!"
"What do you want to eat tonight? Don't you always like to eat pig's feet? I went out this morning and bought two pig's feet. I was afraid that you would find it too greasy right after you got up, so I didn't cook it for you. How about I make you stewed pig's feet with soybeans tonight?"
As a diners, Shen Qingye naturally had no objection at all. He nodded in agreement while eating, which made Aunt Chen's eyes soften even more.
After finally finishing a bowl of old duck soup and eating five steamed dumplings, Shen Qingye gradually felt full and his eating speed slowed down.
At this moment, she suddenly saw something across the table, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, a little surprised: "Aunt Chen, are you buying flowers?"
Aunt Chen followed her gaze and slapped her head: "Oh, look at me! How could I forget about this!"
She stood up and handed the bouquet of pink and white flowers to Shen Qingye, with a teasing look in her eyes: "This was sent by the owner of the flower shop next door this morning. He said it was for you."
Shen Qingye was stunned: "For me?"
Aunt Chen nodded: "Yes, it was ordered by a Mr. Yue."
Shen Qingye blinked and was a little unresponsive for a moment.
Aunt Chen was still gossiping and asking her, "Is Xiao Feng in love?"
Shen Qingye coughed lightly, raised her hand to take the flowers, and looked down. The main body of the flowers was pink and white roses, with some small round-leaved eucalyptus mixed in as embellishments. The whole bouquet looked fresh and elegant, and particularly moving.
There was also a small greeting card in the middle of the bouquet, on which were written a few large characters written in a flamboyant style:
I'll give you the flowers I owe you these two days.
Shen Qingye paused slightly.
Some time ago, Yue Lingchuan would send her flowers almost every day, but since this case came out, everyone has been so busy that they really have no time or energy to think about these things.
Unexpectedly, Yue Lingchuan still kept this matter in mind. When he had some free time, he made a special trip to pick up the flowers that had fallen in the past two days.
Shen Qingye gently stroked the pink petals, a smile slowly formed on the corner of her mouth, and she said softly, "Not yet."
Aunt Chen is also an experienced person. Seeing her gentle expression, how could she not understand what was going on? His eyes curved into a smile, feeling a little happy and a little melancholy.
In the blink of an eye, this girl has grown up and it’s time for her to date.
She said, "This flower looks really pretty. I'm going to buy a vase later and put it in there. If I take good care of it, it should be able to last for two days."
Shen Qingye naturally agreed and thanked Aunt Chen, which made the other party angry.
·
Shen Qingye finally got some rest after sleeping for almost the entire afternoon. In the evening, the mother and daughter had a rare opportunity to have dinner together. Shen Linyue mentioned Bai Xiuyu and said that she missed Shen Qingye for a while and asked her to go over after she was done with her work. Shen Qingye naturally agreed, and then thinking about the current time, he asked:
"Are Ruiyang's college entrance examination results coming out soon?"
"It's said to be the 25th. Your Aunt Bai and the others have been extremely nervous these past two days. They didn't dare to tell Ruiyang, fearing that he would be pressured. And your Uncle Gao wasn't home yet. She wanted to talk but had no one to talk to. She was a little annoyed."
Shen Qingye was helpless: "Such a big case happened in the city, everyone is busy, Uncle Gao also has to deal with the pressure from above, it's not easy either."
She paused and said, "But it should be better in a couple of days."
Chen Linyue said: "How could your Aunt Bai not know? She was just nervous and wanted to find a reason to vent her anger."
Shen Qingye couldn't help laughing.
After dinner, I went out for a walk, enjoying a rare leisure time.
After going back to wash up, he went to bed early. The next morning, when Shen Qingye woke up, it was already bright.
She opened the curtains, stretched slowly, and glanced casually outside the window, but her gaze paused.
A very familiar black car was parked outside the villa. In the driver's seat, a man was leaning back in the chair, one hand on the steering wheel and the other hand casually resting on the window. The smooth muscle lines on his forearm were fully revealed in this action. He half lowered his head and glanced at the time. The profile of his superior bone structure was coated with a layer of light golden halo of the morning light, and the haziness carried a certain softness that was not often seen in his work. Shen Qingye's eyes trembled slightly.
