Although Wang Shuxiu was reluctant to be angry with Lu Lingxi, it did not mean that she would immediately agree to the two of them being together. No matter how reasonable Xiao Feng's words were, she still had some concerns in her heart, fearing that Lu Lingxi would regret it in the future. She basically did not sleep much that night, tossing and turning thinking about what to do with Yan Yue, should she just acquiesce to Yan Yue's contact with the little bastard, or temporarily separate the two of them?
While eating in the morning, Wang Shuxiu was a little absent-minded thinking about what happened last night. Xiao Feng had been sending Lu Lingxi to the store these days, and she hadn't decided whether to send him today when she heard a knock on the door.
"Who's here so early?" Wang Shuxiu said casually.
Lu Lingxi was closest to the door, so he ran to open it. "Brother Yan." The person at the door was beyond his expectations, and he shouted in surprise, subconsciously turning his head to see Wang Shuxiu's reaction.
Outside the door, Yan Yue stood there with a gentle expression, and a well-tailored black coat made him look even taller. He seemed to have guessed that it was Lu Lingxi who came to open the door, and he raised the corners of his lips to Lu Lingxi and said softly, "Xiaoxi, have you eaten?"
Lu Lingxi nodded blankly, then quickly remembered something and asked nervously, "Brother Yan, what are you doing here?" He spoke the second half of the sentence in a lower voice because he was afraid that Wang Shuxiu would hear it.
Yan Yue chuckled, looking calm. He walked past Lu Lingxi and politely nodded to Wang Shuxiu, saying, "I'll take Xiaoxi to the store." His tone of voice was extremely natural, as if nothing had happened last night.
After he finished speaking, not only Lu Lingxi looked surprised, but also Wang Shuxiu and Xiao Feng were speechless.
Yan Yue took Wang Shuxiu's silence as consent, and in front of the two parents, he reached out and rubbed Lu Lingxi's hair affectionately, and said gently: "Go put on your coat, I'll wait for you at the door."
Lu Lingxi looked at Yan Yue and then at Wang Shuxiu, and put on his coat in a daze. He said to Wang Shuxiu and Xiao Feng obediently, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to the store."
Yan Yue took Lu Lingxi away in front of the parents. Wang Shuxiu didn't come back to her senses until Lu Lingxi left the house. She couldn't believe what happened before. How could Yan Yue stand in front of them as if nothing had happened and take Lu Lingxi away with confidence?
"Yan Yue he..."
Xiao Feng laughed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He had to coax Wang Shuxiu. "It's just right that Yan Yue sent Xiaoxi to the store. Xiaohua, aren't you thinking about moving? Let's go over there and take a look later."
Speaking of moving, Wang Shuxiu just remembered this. She had been thinking about moving before, mainly to separate Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue. As for the space for the baby in her belly, it was still early to wait until he was born, so there was no rush. But... Wang Shuxiu hesitated a little. She still remembered what Xiao Feng said last night, that Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue were very happy together, and it would be meaningless for her to force them to separate. So should she still move?
While she was hesitating, Xiao Feng saw what she meant and shook his head helplessly. No matter how hard Xiao Hua tried to be tough, she still put Lu Lingxi's wishes first. Yan Yue got a bargain. Should he say that Yan Yue was worthy of being from that kind of family? He truly demonstrated what it meant to be thick-skinned and black-hearted.
"Moving is not a matter of one or two days. My brother has bought a lot of things these days. I don't know when I will finish packing. Let's wait and see."
"Okay, let's take a look first."
Wang Shuxiu was led by Xiao Feng to change the subject, and then compromised again on the issue of moving.
Of course, Lu Lingxi didn't know that his mother had begun to hesitate about whether to move. He was sitting next to Yan Yue with a smile on his face, telling Yan Yue what had happened in the store in the past two days. He had already told Yan Yue some things on the phone, but there were some small things that he hadn't had time to talk about. The ten-minute drive was just enough for him to tell them all.
At the last traffic light in front of Micro Gardening, Yan Yue stopped the car and waited for the red light. Lu Lingxi was talking to Yan Yue about the interesting things that Dahei had experienced at Fang Lei's place, when Yan Yue suddenly reached out and held Lu Lingxi's hand, wrapping his hand tightly with his ten fingers.
"Brother Yan..."
Yan Yue turned his head to look at Lu Lingxi and smiled slightly. He was handsome to begin with, and the winter sun had just risen. The golden sunlight shone through the car window, casting a soft glow on Yan Yue's smile. He looked at Lu Lingxi with a very focused gaze, his eyes were dark, like the stars in the sky, with a drowning tenderness.
Lu Lingxi's heart began to beat fast. Yan Yue ignored the traffic on both sides and quickly came over to kiss Lu Lingxi on the lips. He smiled and said, "Xiao Xi, I wanted to kiss you when you opened the door this morning, but I have been holding back until now."
He spoke so bluntly that the tips of Lu Lingxi's ears suddenly turned red again.
Yan Yue was in a very good mood, not only because Lu Lingxi was by his side, but also because of Wang Shuxiu's attitude in the morning. He was certainly not naive enough to think that Wang Shuxiu would agree to Lu Lingxi being with him overnight, but he could see that her attitude had softened, and now it was more of a stalemate of watching from the sidelines. Yan Yue knew that apart from all kinds of tricks, the only way he could impress Wang Shuxiu was to be nice to Xiaoxi. As a mother, this was what Wang Shuxiu wanted to see the most.
When the green light came on, Yan Yue let go of Lu Lingxi and turned a corner to Micro Gardening. Yan Yue had something else to do, so he had to leave after sending Lu Lingxi to the store. Before leaving, Yan Yue grabbed Lu Lingxi and kissed him for a long time under the cover of the green plants in the store before reluctantly leaving him.
"Wait for me to pick you up and take you home in the evening." Yan Yue instructed softly.
Lu Lingxi nodded obediently.
After seeing Yan Yue off, Lu Lingxi quickly got busy. Micro Gardening had taken a few days off for the Chinese New Year, and many old customers came back after the Chinese New Year. Although the main business of Micro Gardening now is the sales of evolved plants such as spider plants and begonias, and retail in the Micro Gardening store does not make much money, Lu Lingxi still likes to stay in the store and receive various customers every day.
Not long after Yan Yue left, Mr. Zhang came to Micro Gardening with his precious orchid. Mr. Zhang had always said he would come, but either Lu Lingxi had something to do or he had something to do, so they kept putting it off until today when both of them had time.
As soon as Mr. Zhang entered the store, he called out to Lu Lingxi with a smile, "Xiaoxi, come and see my flowers."
Lu Lingxi put down the kettle in his hand and quickly went over. Mr. Zhang cherished his orchids very much and used the best pottery pots to grow flowers. At first, Mr. Zhang wanted to use a purple clay pot, which is also the most expensive flower pot at present, but was stopped by Lu Lingxi. Although the purple clay pot is beautiful and elegant in appearance, its air permeability and water permeability are not particularly good. Among various common flower pots such as clay pots, porcelain pots, lacquerware pots, etc., the pottery pot has the best water permeability and air permeability.
Not only the flowerpot, but also the soil and fertilizer used for this orchid are the best for micro-gardening. Mr. Zhang has devoted countless time and effort to take care of this orchid. According to Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhang probably doesn't care as much about himself as he does.
Mr. Zhang's efforts paid off. The Chunlan in front of him looked proud and upright, with leaves slender and strong, glossy and green, very pleasing to the eye. Lu Lingxi habitually scanned the past with his mind, and Chunlan's information appeared in his mind.
Plant name: Wild spring orchid
Plant requirements: None
Plant survival rate: Very high
Vegetative state: Primary peak
To trigger the plant evolution conditions, please select the plant evolution direction.
Lu Lingxi was a little surprised. When he sold this spring orchid to Mr. Zhang half a year ago, the spring orchid had just been revived by him, and the new roots were still very weak. If it was not taken care of properly, the spring orchid might die. Unexpectedly, after Mr. Zhang's careful care, this spring orchid reached the requirements for evolution in just half a year.
Lu Lingxi scanned the evolutionary direction given on the panel. Generally, ornamental flowers evolve in two directions: one is to make the flowers more beautiful, and the other is to make the fragrance more fragrant. Lu Lingxi did not make a decision on his own, but pretended to ask Zhang casually, "Grandpa Zhang, do you prefer the beauty of orchids or the pleasant fragrance of flowers?"
Mr. Zhang didn't understand what he meant, so he smiled and said, "I like them all."
Lu Lingxi carefully pinched the soil in the flowerpot, and when he found it was a little dry, he watered it a little and asked, "Which one do you like better?"
His question stumped Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang pondered for a moment. The beauty of orchids was pure and elegant, and the fragrance of orchids was distant and ethereal. It was really hard to choose. But since Xiaoxi asked, Mr. Zhang compared them for a long time and gave an answer. "Flowers are still more beautiful. Your grandfather Zhao has a poor nose and can't taste the fragrance of flowers, but he can tell the difference between flowers and flowers."
Lu Lingxi didn't expect that Mr. Zhang's reason was this. He lowered his head in amusement and chose the evolution direction of the flower mutation while Mr. Zhang was not paying attention. After finishing these, Lu Lingxi put away the panel and asked why Grandpa Zhao didn't come.
"It's because of the wintergrass experiment you guys did, Xiaoxi, that your Grandpa Zhao's soul was completely taken away. He didn't even go to the flower market these days. He went to the laboratory to watch the experiments whenever he had time."
Zhang Lao was half happy for Zhao Lao, and half complained that he left him alone and bored. Lu Lingxi heard what Zhang Lao meant and laughed lively.
"Grandpa Zhang, if you're bored, you can come to Micro Gardening. There are a few camellias blooming in the flowerbed. They are rare double-petaled variants. I'll bring them to you next time."
When Mr. Zhang heard about mutants, his eyes lit up immediately and he said, "Great."
The old and the young were chatting so excitedly that Mr. Zhang almost forgot the purpose of his visit. "Xiao Xi, are you free in May?"
Lu Lingxi was stunned, and Zhang Lao laughed and said, "There will be an orchid exhibition at Kunnan Botanical Garden in early May, gathering famous orchids from all over the world. If you have time, Xiaoxi can go and have a look. Your Grandpa Zhao and I have already agreed that we will go together. If Xiaoxi can go, come with us. Your Grandpa Zhao has relatives there, and their food and accommodation are all covered."
When Old Zhang said this, he winked at Lu Lingxi in a childish way, "This kind of opportunity to take advantage of your Grandpa Zhao is not common. Xiaoxi must come when you have time. Don't save money for your Grandpa Zhao."
What Mr. Zhang said was interesting. Lu Lingxi couldn't help but curl his eyes. In his heart, he was thinking that Wang Chaoliang was also in Kunnan Botanical Garden. Maybe he should find time to go and see it. Both the part of the botanical garden that was not open to the public and the orchid exhibition were very rare opportunities. They happened to be in the same place. It would be a pity if they missed each other.
