On the stage, the priest spoke passionately, talking about the origin of red roses and the customs of the Rose Town.
Yili supported his chin, not knowing whether he was listening or not.
"Miss, can you answer the question I just asked?"
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Jin Yimeng.
Jin Yimeng slowly opened his eyes: "Ah? What?"
The priest's tone was still as gentle as before: "Can you answer the question I just asked?"
Jin Yimeng rubbed his eyes: "Sorry, I can't."
The priest looked at Yili and said, "I see the girl next to you is listening very attentively. Can you help her?"
Yi Li: "..."
What was the question just now?
She didn't listen at all, but was calculating how much savings she had and whether it was enough to buy herself a small villa.
The two of them looked at Nan Ke at the same time.
Nan Ke: "...The question just now was, why did we choose red roses in the first place?"
Jin Yimeng: "How would I know? I'm not the designer of this copy."
Yi Li: "...because of love?"
"Yes, it's because of love."
The priest waved his hand and continued, "Love is the origin of our Rose Town, and it is the emotion bestowed by roses.
As long as there is love and affection, our Rose Town will always be prosperous and beautiful, and its own roses will always be in full bloom.
Each of us has a rose of our own, and that red rose needs to be watered and nurtured with love and cared for with care. "
Yi Li and Jin Yimeng sat down.
Jin Yimeng gave her a thumbs up: "Oh my God, you are right."
Yili: "...I was just guessing."
Jin Yimeng propped up his chin and said, "This really looks like brainwashing from a cult. It's a shame that the priest doesn't join a pyramid scheme to commit fraud."
Yi Li: "Isn't he involved in a pyramid scheme now? Look how seriously everyone else is listening, except for us."
Jin Yimeng looked over when he heard this, and sure enough, every audience member sitting there had an infatuated look on their faces, staring at the priest on the stage with fanaticism in their eyes.
"But don't they find it boring? What's so good about this?"
Jin Yimeng complained to Yili in a low voice.
Yi Li: "You'll know later."
Her eyes fell on the roses beside the audience who were listening to the priest's speech. Their roses had begun to prepare to bloom their buds. It was obvious that this was not the first time they came here to listen to the priest's speech.
"Next, let us pray for our rose together, so that it can grow its own buds and bloom into beautiful roses."
The priest's voice was passionate.
The people around put their hands together and bowed their heads in prayer.
Yili and the other two also followed and learned silently.
Yi Li looked at her roses. The tender buds of the roses in the small flowerpot grew taller at a speed visible to the naked eye, and several tender yellow buds emerged. As if they felt her gaze, the slightly opened leaves trembled.
An obscure prayer flowed from the priest's mouth, and the people around him followed suit.
The speed is fast and the pronunciation is unclear.
Jin Yimeng didn't hear anything at all.
"Germanium...hoe...radish...no...no...?"
Jin Yimeng stuttered a little while reading, and so did Yi Li next to her. She couldn't hear clearly what they were reading.
On the contrary, Nan Ke had already recited these blessings fluently.
After the prayer, the party dispersed.
Jin Yimeng looked at Nan Ke in surprise: "You actually understood what they said?"
Nan Ke was a little puzzled: "Isn't it very simple?"
Then he recited the prayer he had just recited to Jin Yimeng.
They also couldn't hear clearly.
The priest came up to them and smiled when he saw the roses on their faces. "You are new residents of our Rose Town, right? You probably don't know that only those with love in their hearts can understand our prayers."
"Love? I think I'm pretty friendly. I find food for my butterflies every day."
Jin Yimeng was puzzled.
The priest smiled and stroked his snow-white beard. "You'll understand later. Roses are the product of love. When you meet your love, you'll understand."
Jin Yimeng understood now. She looked at Nan Ke in shock: "You have someone you like? Who is it? Do I know him? When did it happen?"
Nan Ke looked at Jin Yimeng, who had a sincere and curious face: "..."
"Why don't you say anything? Speak up."
Nan Ke silently looked away: "Well, but I can't tell you."
"What? I'm your eldest daughter, and you dare not tell me who you like today? Are you dating? Does she know you? How is your progress now?"
Nan Ke stood up quickly and said, "Let's get to know this town first and avoid any risks in advance."
Jin Yimeng: "Don't change the subject, who is who? Who is the person you like?"
Nan Ke looked at Jin Yimeng: "It's you."
Jin Yimeng: "...Huh? Even if you don't want to answer my question, you shouldn't be so perfunctory."
Nan Ke: “…”
Yi Li keenly noticed the sincerity in Nan Ke's eyes the moment he said that, and suddenly realized what was going on, then smiled without saying anything.
Oh, it’s her.
But is this girl Jin Yimeng really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?
When Jin Yimeng saw that Nan Ke didn't answer him, he felt a pang in his heart.
No way, he doesn't really like me, does he?
The smile on Jin Yimeng's face seemed a little forced.
Nan Ke naturally noticed that something was wrong with Jin Yimeng: "Are you scared? Then don't pester me with these questions. Don't worry, it's not you. In my eyes, you just bought my eldest daughter."
Jin Yimeng breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, you almost scared me. Forget it, I won't ask you these questions again, it's too scary."
A flash of disappointment passed through Nan Ke's eyes.
Yi Li naturally captured Nan Ke's emotions.
Her budding gossip suddenly died down.
It seems that Jin Yimeng is not interested in Nan Ke?
Only Jin Yimeng herself knew that the hand she had hidden beside her had already been clenched into a fist, with her nails digging into her palm. The piercing pain came over her, and she forced herself to suppress her chaotic thoughts.
The three of them walked out of the church, and the streets were still a little deserted.
"Do you have money?"
Jin Yimeng asked, his eyes fixed on the restaurant across the street.
"have."
Nan Ke nodded.
His nominal mother doted on him quite a bit and gave him quite a bit of pocket money, which was more than enough to treat them to a meal.
"As the saying goes, the fastest place to get news is a restaurant. Master Nan Ke, will you treat us to a meal?"
Jin Yimeng looked at Nan Ke with a smile.
Nan Ke: “…Okay.”
The three of them entered the restaurant, where there were only a few tables of guests.
They didn't have any roses around them, but when they saw the roses on the group of people, their expressions changed, from indifference to avoiding them.
"Hello, are you three just starting to grow roses?"
The restaurant waiter hurried forward and asked.
