Friday.
With the anticipated weekend approaching, college students seem to be energized, and young faces can always be seen wandering around the school.
Gu Fan drove the yellow car away from the school.
Last semester, he found a part-time job at a nearby flower shop and would help out every weekend.
The store manager is one of his senior classmates. She is beautiful and kind, and she pays him very well, 150 yuan per day.
Of course, besides Gu Fan, there was another girl at the flower shop, but she wasn't part-time; she was full-time. She was recruited by that senior student, and the flower shop was looked after by that girl during the summer vacation.
After parking the shared bike in the designated area, Gu Fan walked into the flower shop.
"Welcome, Guang...wait? Gu Fan?"
An ordinary-looking girl came over and was somewhat surprised to see that it was Gu Fan.
"Sister Tang, are you alone?" Gu Fan asked the girl with a smile.
Sister Tang smiled slightly: "Yes, Qiu Xiang went to buy goods, I'm looking after the house by myself."
Gu Fan nodded. He glanced around the shop. The flower shop was still the same as before, with decorations similar to those before his vacation.
"Are you here to take over my shift?" Sister Tang poured him a glass of water and asked.
Gu Fan took the water and smiled, "Yes, I was busy with things at the beginning of the semester, so I only have time now."
"Does Qiu Xiang know?"
“I’ve already talked to her about it on WeChat.”
Sister Tang seemed relieved: "That's good. I have something to do tomorrow. If you don't come, I'll have to ask Qiu Xiang for leave."
Qiu Xiang is the owner of this shop. Her full name is Li Qiu Xiang, and she is a graduate of Xida University.
After a brief handover of work with Sister Tang, she left happily.
Gu Fan sat at the front desk. The front desk of the flower shop was quite convenient, with a computer and a snack and beverage cabinet next to it, which could help pass the time when there were no customers.
Gu Fan certainly wouldn't stay here forever. The flower shop has specific business hours: 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM, with a dinner break in between. It closes after 8:00 PM.
This flower shop is one of the few in the area, so business is relatively good. Many people buy flowers to give to loved ones, or to take photos, visit the sick, etc.
Not long after Gu Fan took the stage, guests arrived.
He introduced the flower varieties and prices with ease.
The customer eventually bought a bouquet of flowers, which cost 79 yuan.
Around 7:30 p.m., a small trailer truck stopped in front of the flower shop.
Gu Fan glanced at it and then saw a pink electric scooter with a girl wearing a milky white helmet sitting on it.
The girl took off her helmet, revealing a mature and beautiful face. She wore light makeup, but her lipstick was very bright, giving her a strong mature and sophisticated look. She was wearing a black and white suspender dress and was about 1.6 meters tall.
Gu Fan recognized her as his boss's wife, Li Qiuxiang.
"Sister Qiuxiang, you're back?"
Gu Fan walked out of the flower shop and greeted them.
Li Qiuxiang smiled slightly: "Gu Fan, long time no see, you've become even more handsome!"
Gu Fan blushed slightly: "Thank goodness, Sister Qiu Xiang has become even more beautiful."
Li Qiuxiang was in a good mood, so she quickly called out, "Come and help us move these flowers inside."
"Okay!"
With the combined efforts of Gu Fan and Li Qiuxiang, the newly arrived flowers were moved in just twenty minutes.
"Sister Tang is gone?" Li Qiuxiang took the water Gu Fan handed her and took a big gulp.
Gu Fan nodded: "She has something to do tomorrow."
Li Qiuxiang glanced at Gu Fan and clicked her tongue in admiration, "Gu Fan, you're getting more and more handsome! Looks like I struck gold when I was recruiting part-time workers!"
Gu Fan coughed lightly but didn't reply.
Li Qiuxiang treats Gu Fan like her younger brother, and she teases him a bit when she's bored. Seeing her shy junior always puts her in a good mood.
Glancing at the sky outside, Li Qiuxiang suddenly looked at Gu Fan: "Have you eaten?"
Gu Fan shook his head: "I plan to eat after get off work."
He came over as soon as get out of class ended, and he got off work at eight o'clock, so he still had plenty of time.
"Then let me treat you to a meal. It's been a long time since we've seen each other!" Li Qiuxiang said with a slight smile.
Gu Fan did not refuse and nodded, "Okay."
The two tidied up the flower shop, then turned off the lights and closed the door.
Li Qiuxiang put on her helmet, straddled the electric scooter without hesitation, and called out to Gu Fan, "Come on, get on!"
Gu Fan's lips twitched slightly: "No need, I'll just ride the shared bike."
After saying that, he quickly scanned the code to unlock a shared bike.
Li Qiuxiang was also taken aback, then gave Gu Fan a teasing look, as if to say: Something's not right with you!
A moment later, the two arrived at a porridge shop.
"Boss, two bowls of seafood congee, and two side dishes."
Li Qiuxiang called out to the owner, seemingly already a regular customer here.
"Oh? Xiao Li is here? Is this handsome young man your boyfriend? He's so good-looking!" The proprietress came over to greet him warmly, while also sizing up Gu Fan.
Just as the latter was about to explain, Li Qiuxiang said with a wry smile, "Aunt Nan, please don't misunderstand. He's an employee of my flower shop, and, well, he's also like my younger brother."
"Oh, I get it, I get it!" The proprietress gave her a knowing look.
Gu Fan felt a little embarrassed; this proprietress's thoughts were a bit dangerous!
Seeing his submissive expression, Li Qiuxiang chuckled: "Don't be nervous, she's just joking. I used to come here often for congee after get off work, and that's how I got to know them. Besides, the congee here is really delicious, you'll definitely be satisfied."
Gu Fan then nodded.
"By the way, Gu Fan, are you dating someone?" Li Qiuxiang suddenly asked, her eyes full of gossip.
"Huh?" Gu Fan was taken aback: "Why do you say that?"
Li Qiuxiang smiled mysteriously: "Intuition, let me tell you, my intuition is very accurate!"
Gu Fan felt like his thoughts had been exposed, and scratched his head: "Well, we're not dating yet, it's just that we have mutual feelings for each other."
"Wow (⊙o⊙)" Li Qiuxiang's curiosity exploded: "Who is it? Is she pretty? Is she a senior or a junior? Have you held hands with her before?..."
Li Qiuxiang's barrage of questions left Gu Fan completely bewildered.
My hair?
Didn't I just say we haven't talked yet? Why are you asking me directly if we've kissed?
Gu Fan briefly recounted his online romance with Jiang Yumeng.
Li Qiuxiang chuckled: "Great, so when are you planning to confess your feelings?"
After thinking carefully for a moment, Gu Fan said, "Soon."
How could he not understand a girl's feelings? Besides, Gu Fan couldn't lie to himself; he had fallen for Jiang Yumeng.
Li Qiuxiang rested her chin on her hands and laughed, "When you confess your love, do you want some help? For example, I can get you a huge bouquet of flowers, no, I can create a sea of flowers scene, that would be so romantic!"
Gu Fan's eyes lit up. Goodness, this doesn't seem like a bad idea after all.
