Chapter 129 Modern Extra (3)
【Chapter 5 Blind Date】
Wen Wanyu woke up before five o'clock the next day.
Because of Cheng Shuyi's words, she couldn't sleep in bed for nearly two hours. In total, she slept for no more than three hours last night.
She sat in the hanging chair on the balcony, taking in the rare quiet. On the small round table next to her was a cup of tea, with mist rising above it.
The whole world is cool, and the sunlight shines through the light mist and gently sprinkles on the sea of flowers, creating a unique and pleasing feeling.
Thinking about it carefully, she and Xie Junyao were indeed destined to be together. And this "connection" seemed to have been established by Xie Junyao. Xie Junyao had been ordering flowers from her "White Tea Pure Joy" for a long time, and his mother just happened to know her...
However, we must always give them some time. Whether it is a spur of the moment, a sudden intention, or another purpose, time will be the best helper.
In the early morning, everything is quiet. A ray of light appears on the eastern horizon, carefully soaking the light blue sky. A new day gradually moves over from afar.
Today is Thursday. She's the one who sends flowers on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. But she... doesn't know how to face Xie Junyao yet.
She picked up her phone and sent a WeChat message to Cheng Shuyi.
[Not sleeping at night]: Today, please help me deliver the flowers.
The other party replied quickly. Wen Wanyu looked at the time on the upper right corner of the phone in surprise. 5:26, Cheng Shuyi woke up so early?
【Don’t want to go to work】: Why? (smirk) (smirk) (smirk) Did you not sleep all night? (smirk) (smirk) (smirk) (smirk)
Wen Wanyu: “…”
[Not sleeping at night]: After what happened, I didn't sleep well last night. Send me flowers today, or I'll fire you.
This time it took a long time for the other party to come back.
[Don’t want to go to work]: I’m so scared (Wang Chai) Okay, I have to give you a raise (Wang Chai)
【Not sleeping at night】: Are you not sleeping or awake?
[Don't want to go to work]: Never mind, I'm still shipping my couple. My couple is back, we made eye contact at the XX awards ceremony yesterday...
Wen Wanyu: "..." She didn't know what to say.
Others are in love, but Cheng Shuyi is obsessed with couples. She's been obsessed with couples these days... a single eye contact can keep her up all night. No wonder she insisted yesterday that Xie Junyao fell in love with her at first sight.
Fortunately, I didn’t believe Cheng Shuyi’s nonsense.
This also shows that the relationship between her and Xie Junyao is normal, it's just that Cheng Shuyi likes to imagine things...
Wen Wanyu sighed, took a sip of tea, and murmured, "Why should I tell Cheng Shuyi what happened between Xie Junyao and me?"
At seven o'clock, the doorbell rang.
Xie Junyao opened the door immediately like an arrow on a bowstring. The smile on his face had not yet faded when he found that it was the same 'partner' from yesterday.
"Why you?" He spoke without thinking, he just wanted to know why, so what he said seemed to be directed at Cheng Shuyi.
Cheng Shuyi was stunned.
Xie Junyao then realized his impoliteness and said sincerely, "Sorry, I thought it was... your store manager sending flowers. I didn't react at first."
"Oh. It's okay." Cheng Shuyi waved her hand. She secretly looked at Mr. Xie in front of her. It was as if he had finally encountered dry weather. A small flame ignited on his body and was ruthlessly extinguished.
She understood that Mr. Xie was unhappy because he didn't see the flower shop owner he was thinking about.
It was the same process as yesterday. She handed over the order and a pen. After Xie Junyao took it, he wrote his name on the order in a very proud manner.
Cheng Shuyi looked at the bouquet of flowers and an idea came to her mind. She pretended to be worried: "Well. Wen Wanyu is sick. So she asked me to deliver the flowers."
Xie Junyao's hand holding the pen trembled: "Are you sick?"
"yes."
Cheng Shuyi chuckled, and only stopped laughing when Xie Junyao was about to look up. She cleared her throat and said, "Mr. Xie, I'll leave the flowers here. I'll go back first. I have a lot to do in the store."
Xie Junyao nodded.
"goodbye."
"Thank you. Goodbye." Xie Junyao thanked absentmindedly.
He closed the door. He no longer paid attention to the solitary bouquet of baby's breath in the entrance hall. He anxiously picked up his phone, put it down, and picked it up again.
Wouldn't that be too presumptuous...
After hesitating for a long time, Xie Junyao decided to follow his heart and sent her a greeting message:
[Xie-]: I heard you were sick. Are you feeling better? Do you need my help? Although I'm an orthopedic surgeon, I've also taken basic emergency medicine courses.
The other party did not reply to the message.
Xie Junyao's jawline was tense and his eyes dimmed slightly, hiding the surging emotions in his eyes.
It turns out that only one minute has passed...
He tried to do something to distract himself, and finally remembered the baby's breath at the entrance. He picked it up and placed it in the center of the coffee table in the living room.
Not satisfied, he moved.
Still not satisfied, I put it on the upper right side of the dining table. Finally satisfied.
"Ding—" a notification sound came from the phone.
Xie Junyao retracted his hand, his silent eyes lit up, he coughed lightly, suppressed his excitement, and calmly walked back to the living room.
But it wasn't her...
I can’t explain how it felt… I just felt like I suddenly lost all my nervous motivation.
【Mother】:
The picture shows her and her partner from before. They look pale and listless, but they are talking and laughing, and seem to be in a good mood.
[Mother]: Passing by my future daughter-in-law’s flower shop (grin)
Xie Junyao ignored her. His mother had been like this for a long time. He couldn't correct her, and he didn't bother to explain.
When I was about to put down my phone,
【Not sleeping at night】：??? I’m not sick.
Xie Junyao was puzzled.
【Not sleeping at night】: I am not sick, but thank you for your kindness.
As long as she wasn't sick, Xie Junyao should be happy. But he still felt annoyed. Xie replied with only two words between the lines: You're welcome.
Xie Junyao replied somewhat depressedly: I'm glad you're okay.
She didn't come back.
——
'White Tea Qing Huan' flower shop.
Wen Wanyu reluctantly put down her phone, took off her gloves, sneaked up behind Cheng Shuyi, and grabbed her neck. "What did you say to Xie Junyao?"
Cheng Shuyi was startled and felt guilty after hearing what she said.
Her hands were too cold. Cheng Shuyi dodged left and right: "I didn't say anything."
Wen Wanyu tickled her again. Cheng Shuyi laughed so hard that tears were about to flow out. Then she said, "Hahaha, I really didn't say anything. I just said you were sick."
"Are you sick for no reason?" Wen Wanyu was so angry that he put ice on her neck again.
Cheng Shuyi broke free from her restraints and ran away, holding her waist and laughing as she said, "Did he send you a WeChat message to show his concern? I tell you, when he heard you were sick, he was almost worried to death. Tsk tsk tsk, there's definitely something going on between you two."
Wen Wanyu chased after him: "Cheng Shuyi, wait for me."
The phone rang, and Cheng Shuyi stuck out his tongue proudly: "Hurry up and answer the phone, Boss Wen."
It was Mother's call. Wen Wanyu didn't dare not answer it. "Mother, what can I do for you?"
My mother was busy playing mahjong and said briefly, "This Sunday at 4pm, at the Funny Coffee Shop, your Aunt Liu will introduce you to a friend. His surname is Hu, and his name is Hu Yue."
Well, another blind date.
Wen Wanyu: "Mother, please stop working. I'm still young."
Cheng Shuyi came close and eavesdropped openly.
"You're already 24 and you've even had a boyfriend. Just try it out first. Touch her." The mother was doing two things at once. While complaining that she was still a peony at 24, she was touching her.
"Besides, your Aunt Liu has said that Hu Yue is a senior executive at a bank, earning a seven-figure annual salary. You should take advantage of this opportunity."
Wen Wanyu muttered, "What's there to be sure of?"
"What did you say?"
"nothing."
"Okay, that's it. Oh, by the way, your brother said he'd come see you this afternoon. Hang up. Hu."
Cheng Shuyi asked, "Auntie wants you to go on a blind date again?"
"Yeah. My mom is a blind date fanatic."
“Haha ...
【Chapter 6 Confirming Like】
What is love? When you smile, all the light in the world melts.

At 6:40 p.m., Xie Junyao got off work and returned home from the hospital. Yang Yuanwan had already prepared a large table of dishes and ran out of the kitchen when she heard the door open.
"Son, you're back!"
"Yeah." Xie Junyao responded calmly.
Yang Yuanwan still held the spatula in her hand: "How is it? Are you adapting to your first day at work?"
"adapt."
Yang Yuanwan ran to the kitchen, turned off the stove, and looking at her son who was reclining on the sofa with his eyes closed, she went over and asked softly, "What's wrong? You don't look very happy. Did something unpleasant happen at work?"
Although her son was always like that every day, never showing much joy or happiness about anything, today was really different. It could be said that the corners of his mouth drooped to the ground.
Xie Junyao opened his eyes, his pupils were dark, and his smile was faint: "It's okay. Mother, don't worry."
Yang Yuanwan sat down next to him and patted his arm: "I'm your mother. How can your mother not know if you're okay? Tell me quickly."
"It's finally possible for us, mother and son, to live under the same roof. I've been absent from your life for over twenty years, and I don't want to be absent again for the next few decades. Although your mother isn't as wealthy and powerful as your father, you can still talk to her about anything. Okay?"
Xie Junyao saw tears in his mother's eyes.
"Mother..." Xie Junyao raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Don't worry, it's not about work..."
"yes…"
"What?"
"I... maybe I really have fallen in love with someone." Xie Junyao's eyes were filled with a hint of loneliness. He asked himself countless times, "Is this really love?" But he always had no answer.
"If I like you, I like you. How can there be any likes or maybes?" Yang Yuanwan said.
It was not until today that he dared to answer with certainty.
When he got off work today, he took a detour. It would have taken him 50 minutes to get from the hospital to his home, which would have taken only 20 minutes, just to see her.
He didn't know whether this was an impulse.
He only knew that during the 50 minutes from the hospital to "Bai Cha Qing Huan", he felt as if there was a tireless and constantly leaping elk in his heart.
As soon as I thought about seeing her soon, all the tiredness after a day's work disappeared.
However……
She was with a strange man. They chatted and laughed over her white tea. Occasionally, the man would reach out and touch her head. She didn't resist, and sometimes even gave him a sweet smile.
Xie Junyao thought that it must be the person she liked.
Yang Yuanwan was puzzled: "Isn't this a good thing? You can recognize your own heart. This is a good thing. It's that flower shop owner, right?"
Xie Junyao did not deny it.
The corners of his lips twitched slightly, "But she has someone she likes."
"ah?"
Xie Junyao told her what he had just seen at the entrance of Baicha Qinghuan. Yang Yuanwan said with some regret, "But it's better to ask for clarification. Tomorrow, when the girl comes to give you flowers, ask her again. It's safer. I hope this isn't a misunderstanding."
"Yeah." Xie Junyao responded without hope.

Cheng Shuyi came to deliver flowers again on Friday.
This time, it was Yang Yuanwan who opened the door, which surprised Cheng Shuyi. Yang Yuanwan took her into the house and poured her a glass of water: "Come in and sit down."
Why did it feel like a Hongmen Feast? Cheng Shuyi subconsciously refused, "No, no, Auntie. Thank you, I still have to go back to work."
Yang Yuanwan hurriedly said, "Don't be afraid, little girl. We just have some questions we want to ask you."
"Auntie, please ask." Cheng Shuyi insisted on standing.
Yang Yuanwan smiled gently: "Then Auntie will get straight to the point. Does your flower shop owner have a boyfriend?"
Cheng Shuyi immediately became alert, and her tone was no longer as gentle as before: "Auntie, why are you asking this?"
What did it matter to her whether Wanwan had a boyfriend or not? Although she believed that Mr. Xie liked Wanwan, he couldn't be so presumptuous... to pry into someone else's private life right away.
"No, no, no, Auntie, that's not what I meant." Yang Yuanwan sighed regretfully.
"Let me tell you." Xie Junyao came out of the room. Cheng Shuyi looked over and saw that he had changed into a black suit. He should be going to work.
Several small notebooks and some papers were placed on the dining table.
Cheng Shuyi took a few glances and saw several property certificates, a driver's license, an ID card, and a resume.
"Mr. Xie, what does this mean?"
Showing off your wealth? No big deal. A few houses.
"You can take a look first. This is my resume."
Cheng Shuyi refused: "Sorry, I'm not interested in you."
Xie Junyao took a deep breath. The brave are the first to have happiness. Once they miss it, they will regret it in the future.
"If Boss Wen doesn't have a boyfriend... I want to pursue her. If she already has a boyfriend, I'm sorry for disturbing you. You can pretend nothing happened today."
"ah???"
It wasn't about showing off wealth, but pursuing it? What the hell! How did things take a different direction? Is it so direct?
Seeing that she didn't want to read his resume, Xie Junyao began to introduce himself verbally: "My name is Xie Junyao, I'm 29 years old, I work at Nanning Municipal Hospital, and I'm the deputy director of the orthopedics department..."
He said a lot, but there was one thing Cheng Shuyi was sure of, that was he was very rich and came from a good family.
But when it comes to her sisters' happiness, Cheng Shuyi can't be careless. "The property certificate, ID card, driver's license, and resume can all be forged."
She could tell Xie Junyao liked Wanwan, but suddenly, he took the initiative to pursue Wanwan. Something was wrong.
"Nanning City Hospital has my medical record. Of course, I can get my real estate certificate, driver's license, and ID card verified by a professional department."
