The focus in his eyes, focused on her alone, extinguished her anger as if it had met water, but she felt uneasy. A heavy, sticky feeling pressed on her throat, making her speechless.
Finally, she awkwardly avoided his gaze, looked at the sunflower in his hand, and whispered, "Gu Rongqi, I'm sorry, I can't make this decision."
"Okay." Gu Rong nodded and placed the sunflower in his hand into Cheng Qicai's hand.
Cheng Qicai resisted, pushing it away with her hand, not wanting to take it.
He smiled and said sincerely, "Consider this bouquet of sunflowers an apology for every time I've made you angry."
The gentlest knife is the most deadly.
Cheng Qicai had to admit that she was moved by Gu Rongqi's appearance.
Cheng Qicai accepted the sunflower and his apology.
“Since you’re unwilling to wait, then I’ll have to speed things up a bit more.” Gu Rongqi smiled at her again, his eyes gentle, and said, “I hope we won’t miss each other, right?”
Cheng Qicai suddenly tightened her grip on the sunflower, but before she could say anything, Gu Rongqi had already turned and walked out of the residential area.
Her memory was still of Gu Rongqi's smiling face. In her memory, he didn't seem to smile in a way that was... well... seductive?
Good heavens, it was definitely the right decision to ask for leave to avoid this matter. With Gu Rongqi completely exuding his charm, she might actually agree without a second thought.
After all, she wasn't exactly a person with strong willpower to begin with!
The faint fragrance wafted into her nose, easing the gloom in her heart.
When she got home with the flowers, she initially threw them directly onto the table, but then she thought about it. Although the person who gave them to her was causing her trouble, the flowers were innocent, weren't they?
She found a few vases, filled them with water, and arranged the sunflowers and other flowers separately in them.
Then they were placed in other locations in the house one by one.
The bright yellow in different locations looks more eye-catching in the room, just like the person who gave it to you, making it impossible to ignore.
For some reason, Cheng Qicai felt a surge of anger and collected all the vases, placing them on the balcony so she could avoid seeing them.
After putting it away like that, Cheng Qicai felt much better.
The next day, when Cheng Qicai went to work, she got up early as usual, went to the balcony to check the weather outside, and then went back to her room to wash up.
But today, her gaze was immediately drawn to that patch of yellow. Under the morning sun, each sunflower looked vibrant and full of life.
It was as if Cheng Qicai's heart had been injected with vitality, but a certain figure also quickly appeared in her mind.
She took a deep breath, gathered her thoughts, and banished the figure's influence from her.
After a long day at work, she returned home to find a bouquet of flowers by the door.
She stepped forward and picked up the card from the flower, wondering if the courier had delivered it to the wrong address.
Upon opening it, the words "Cheng Qicai" at the beginning made her brow furrow, proving that the flowers had not been sent to the wrong person.
But it goes without saying who sent the flowers.
Frustrated, Cheng Qicai picked up the flowers and opened the door.
Without saying a word, she picked up her phone and dialed Gu Rongqi's number without hesitation.
Not long after dialing, a gentle voice answered, "Seven Colors, did you receive the flowers?"
"I received it, but what do you mean by this?" Cheng Qicai deliberately ignored the gentleness in his words and asked in a harsh tone.
"I wanted to send you flowers because I'm pursuing you."
The bluntness left Cheng Qicai speechless for a long time. Before the battle even began, the enemy had already routed them.
"Gu Rongqi, you can't do this." As soon as Cheng Qicai spoke, she was shocked by her own words.
Why did your tone change to that pitiful, coquettish kind?
She coughed lightly again, lowered her voice, and tried to explain, "I mean you can't do this. It's really bothering me."
“But…” Gu Rongqi drawled, making her heart leap, “If I have no presence in your life now, will you forget me?”
"..." Cheng Qicai remained silent.
Neither of them spoke for a moment, and the call ended with Cheng Qicai's hand.
She admitted that Gu Rongqi's words couldn't be more true. If Gu Rongqi really didn't appear in her life, then no matter how much she was attracted to him, she would make herself forget him.
Although there were some difficulties at the beginning, she still believed that time would smooth out the hardships she had suffered in life.
Besides, it's just the pain of love.
