When Lu Lingxi was washing his face in the morning, he discovered that his lips seemed a little swollen. He thought of what happened last night, and looked away embarrassedly, trying his best to avoid looking at himself in the mirror.
Accustomed to Yan Yue's usual gentleness, Yan Yue gave him the same feeling last night as the confession in the flower garden, hot and crazy. Lu Lingxi felt that he was about to suffocate several times, but Yan Yue refused to let him go and kept hugging and kissing him. In the darkness, Lu Lingxi looked into Yan Yue's eyes, which were as bright as the stars in the night sky, and the heat in them seemed to be able to burn people. After looking at them for a long time, he almost had the illusion that he would be torn into pieces by Yan Yue and swallowed up bite by bite. Fortunately, it was late for the two to meet, and Yan Yue did not stay long, and sent Lu Lingxi back home before twelve o'clock. An Jie had already booked a hotel, and Yan Yue had to rush back to Zhongjing the next morning.
Thinking of this, Lu Lingxi quickly washed up and sent a text message to Yan Yue.
"Brother Yan, are you up?"
When Yan Yue received the text message, he was almost in Zhongjing. He smiled as he read the text message and replied, "Just got up, preparing to return to Zhongjing, Xiaoxi, don't worry."
Lu Lingxi glanced at the time. It was a little after seven o'clock, which meant Yan Yue had a good rest last night. He was thinking about calling Yan Yue, but Wang Shuxiu's loud voice rang out outside, calling him out for breakfast. In a hurry, Lu Lingxi only had time to send a text message, "Brother Yan, have a safe trip."
"good."
Yan Yue looked at the phone with a gentle expression, while An Jie, who was driving beside him, shook his head speechlessly. He finally understood what Ye Kang meant when he said that Yan Yue was a little abnormal with Lu Lingxi. Just because they saw each other for less than an hour last night, he drove five hours back and forth to Zhongjing. It's true that love makes people crazy.
After receiving Yan Yue's reply, Lu Lingxi put away his phone in a good mood and prepared to eat.
Wang Shuxiu served him a bowl of porridge and looked at him strangely, "Xiaoxi, what's wrong with your mouth?"
Lu Lingxi was stunned for a moment, then realized what Wang Shuxiu was saying. He immediately lowered his head guiltily and whispered, "...I was bitten by a mosquito."
"There are mosquitoes?" Wang Shuxiu was surprised. Except for the fact that there seemed to be mosquitoes in early July this year, there have been no mosquitoes in the house since then. At first, she was worried that there would be more insects outside because there were grasses everywhere. Later, she found that her worries were in vain. It is almost October now, why are there still mosquitoes? Wang Shuxiu was puzzled for a while and didn't think much about it. She just told Lu Lingxi: "Go buy some mosquito coils later and light them in the house at night. Remember to endure the itch and don't scratch it. Don't apply wind oil if you get bit on your mouth. Just endure it."
Lu Lingxi nodded, almost burying his face in the bowl of rice.
After a busy day, Lu Lingxi received a call from Yan Yue when he got off work in the evening. The other party was on his way back to Fengcheng, and he would go to see him later. Lu Lingxi was a little surprised, and there was some secret sweetness in his heart. What was the reason for Yan Yue to work so hard? Lu Lingxi was not stupid. He wanted to say that Yan Yue didn't need to work so hard just to deal with Zhongjing's affairs, but in the end he just nodded softly and whispered: "Brother Yan, I'll wait for you at home." This feeling of being valued and cared for was really wonderful. Lu Lingxi was a little selfish and began to look forward to Yan Yue's arrival.
For several days, Yan Yue traveled back and forth between the two places whenever he had time. An Jie was almost kneeling down to Yan Yue. Although when they were abroad, they also traveled to several cities when they were busy with work, the intensity was actually about the same as now. But when he thought that Yan Yue had transferred all his enthusiasm for work to Lu Lingxi, he felt sick. He was afraid that one day Yan Yue would suddenly give up and follow Lu Lingxi to grow flowers, and put all the company's affairs on him.
Not only An Jie, Lu Lingxi also felt that Yan Yue was too tired and felt a little uneasy. After Yan Yue came back to see him again, Lu Lingxi wanted to persuade him not to run around like this. He waited for Yan Yue to come back from Fengcheng after finishing his business, and it would only take a few days.
Yan Yue raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. He wiped his hair with a towel in one hand, pinched Lu Lingxi's chin with the other hand, leaned over and kissed him, and said affectionately: "Xiaoxi, don't you want to see me?"
Wang Shuxiu stayed in the restaurant today, so Yan Yue didn't have to hide in the next room secretly, but could appear in Lu Lingxi's room openly. He had just taken a shower and was wearing only a pair of shorts, with his upper body half naked. His exposed abdomen was firm and strong, without a trace of fat. He leaned over and held Lu Lingxi in his arms.
Their skin touched, an ambiguous atmosphere flowed, Lu Lingxi's heart began to pound, he looked up at Yan Yue and whispered: "I do."
The smile in Yan Yue's eyes poured out, and the dark pupils were full of Lu Lingxi's figure. He couldn't help but lean over and kiss the boy, and rubbed him carefully. The boy's confession was always honest, which was what he liked most. With a simple word "think", Yan Yue felt that the hard work of the past few days was nothing at all. Instead, it made him even more reluctant to leave the boy and wanted to find any time to come back and accompany him.
Lu Lingxi closed his eyes and clumsily responded to Yan Yue's kiss. After practicing for a while, he finally learned how to breathe during a kiss. His response easily excited Yan Yue, and his breath began to become unstable. After the lingering kiss, Yan Yue looked at Lu Lingxi with fiery eyes, desperately suppressing the impulse in his body, and used all his self-control to pull the distance between them. Although Lu Lingxi had passed his eighteenth birthday, he was still too young. There was never a moment when Yan Yue so devoutly hoped that Lu Lingxi could grow up quickly and turn twenty overnight.
"Xiaoxi, I hope you grow up quickly."
Yan Yue looked at Lu Lingxi and whispered. Lu Lingxi was no longer completely clueless at first. After understanding what he meant, she became shy. Yan Yue chuckled slightly, forced himself to shift his attention away from Lu Lingxi, and changed the subject somewhat awkwardly. "What were you looking at just now?"
When he came out of the shower, Lu Lingxi was reading a book. Yan Yue asked casually, but Lu Lingxi was thinking about something and looked a little unhappy.
"What's wrong?" Yan Yue asked with an idea in his mind.
"Grandpa Su came to the store this afternoon, bringing a daffodil that he said his student bought for him, and he used the signboard of micro-gardening."
Yan Yue immediately grasped the point, "We don't sell daffodils in our store. Someone is pretending to be us."
Lu Lingxi nodded, but this was not what he cared about most. "That pot of daffodils was injected with hormones. It looks lush, but it is actually overdrawn. It will die in a few days. I want to see if there is any solution in the book."
After being in this industry for a long time, Lu Lingxi also learned some tricks of the horticultural industry. In this industry, not everyone really likes green plants. Some people just use green plants as a tool to make money. This is also the reason why Lu Lingxi has a good impression of Xue Yongtong. At least he really likes green plants.
He heard that some people would inject a growth hormone into the green plants they sold in order to make money. The main component of this hormone is phytoenzyme, which can fully tap the growth potential of the plant in a short period of time and make the plant grow rapidly. Generally speaking, a small amount of hormone can appropriately enhance the growth efficiency of plants, and the damage to plants is not too great. However, many people do not care about the tolerance of plants and will use excessive amounts of this hormone to promote the rapid growth of plants. As a result, the plants will overdraw their vitality prematurely, age and die.
In addition to hormones, another commonly used brightener is actually a toxic chemical agent, the main ingredients of which are organic silicon and paraffin. It is usually applied to the leaves of flowers to make the leaves look more moist, bright, and green. However, this brightener is very bad for people, and long-term exposure can easily cause headaches and depression.
Lu Lingxi had only heard of these things before, but had never encountered them. It was not until Grandpa Su brought this daffodil that Lu Lingxi realized that there were people who really did not care about their conscience in order to make money. Moreover, these people were right next to him, and they were even using the sign of micro-gardening, which was disgusting.
Yan Yue didn't want to make Lu Lingxi worry, so he kissed Lu Lingxi to comfort him. He didn't care about the growth of daffodils, the key point was these people who were using the name of micro-gardening. "I'll ask someone to check this matter, don't worry, Xiaoxi."
Lu Lingxi nodded. Yan Yue said that because he was sure to solve the problem. He had an instinctive trust in Yan Yue. However, just as Yan Yue was looking for someone to investigate what was going on, someone came to Micro Gardening the next day and used this as an excuse to cause trouble.
The troublemakers were two strange men, one was tall and strong, looking at Lu Lingxi with fierce eyes, and the other was a little thin, with a sallow face, holding a pot of dead calla lilies in his arms, following behind the tall man.
Neither of them entered the house, but blocked the door of Micro Gardening, half-turned his body and shouted loudly to the street: "Boss, you are too black-hearted. Look at what kind of flowers you are selling? It's okay if they die after two days of care. My wife was poisoned by taking care of this pot of flowers every day. I went to the hospital for a check-up and found that the pot of flowers was coated with dichlorvos, just to make the leaves look bright and beautiful. Boss, you really don't care about your conscience for making money. Let's let the people around us judge, what do you think we should do?"
It was morning when they came, and there were many people coming and going on the street. The man deliberately shouted loudly, and soon the door of Micro Gardening was full of people. The other party came up and accused Lu Lingxi without giving him a chance to speak. He simply wanted to confirm their accusation. It was the first time for Lu Lingxi to encounter such a situation. He was a little nervous, but not too worried. He was very confident in the green plants of Micro Gardening. The mental scan showed that the calla lily was indeed dead, but through the panel he could confirm that this calla lily was not sold by Micro Gardening.
Dong Zhi pushed through the crowd and ran in, "What happened? Xiaoxi, are you okay?"
Lu Lingxi shook his head, looked at the tall man and said clearly: "This calla lily is not sold in our store."
When he said this, the tall man's eyes narrowed, and the short man behind him rushed out, waving his fist and yelling at Lu Lingxi: "You dare not admit it? Is this a flowerpot from your store? Is this a flower from your store?"
The small man's movements were too big, and he looked like he was going to hit someone. Before Lu Lingxi could do anything, Dahei let out a low roar, lightly jumped out of the store, and pounced directly on the small man. Although Dahei's body was thin and long, he was actually quite heavy. With his pounce, the small man took several steps back and fell to the ground. Dahei roared angrily, and pressed his front paws on the man's face, and the man immediately screamed heartbreakingly.
“Murder.”
Dahei moved too fast, and Lu Lingxi didn't notice it for a moment, so he quickly shouted, "Dahei, come back." There were so many people outside, and if Dahei really hurt someone, it would be hard to explain. Hearing Lu Lingxi's shout, Dahei looked down at the man on the ground threateningly, slowly retracted his front paws, trotted a few steps, and squatted beside Lu Lingxi.
Dong Zhi secretly gave Dahei a thumbs up and said, "Well done."
Lu Lingxi touched Dahei and saw what the other party meant. The word blackmail flashed through his mind. He whispered to Dong Zhi: "Brother Dong, please call the police for me."
Dong Zhi nodded. It was obvious that these two people came here to cause trouble. Green plants are different from other things. There are no conspicuous signs. It is impossible to tell whether they are sold in the store. It is best to call the police at this time.
Because of Dahei's noise, the attention of the crowd watching the fun quickly shifted to it.
"This dog is really quick to react and loyal to its master. Not bad."
"It looks like a local dog, not a famous dog."
"It's just a local dog, well-fed and shiny."
Hearing these whispers, the tall man took a step back, avoiding Dahei from a distance, and shouted at Lu Lingxi fiercely: "I'm telling you, I'm calling the police. You're selling poisonous flowers and letting dogs hurt people here, so you can just wait to go to jail."
"How can you talk like that!" Brother Dong said angrily, "What evidence do you have to prove that Xiaoxi bought that flower pot?"
"That's right." Someone in the crowd spoke up for Lu Lingxi. "My family often buys flowers from the boss's house. Nothing happened. They are very healthy. You didn't buy them from somewhere else and come here just to blackmail the boss, did you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Zi and Er Fei squeezed in from outside. "What's wrong? What's wrong? Who dares to blackmail the young boss?" The two men blocked in front of Lu Lingxi. Hu Zi glanced at the tall man, "Where are you from? How dare you come here to cause trouble? Don't you know that the young boss is Brother Feng's..." Hu Zi swallowed the word "son" stiffly and replaced it with "someone protected by Brother Feng."
Hu Zi and Er Fei had a fierce aura and looked like they were not easy to mess with. The tall man took a step back timidly, gritted his teeth and wanted to leave, but was somewhat unwilling to do so.
"You..." He wanted to say something to Lu Lingxi, but Hu Zi took a step forward and the tall man suddenly shut his mouth. Someone else squeezed in. "What happened? Who called the police?"
The tall man said he would call the police just to scare Lu Lingxi, but he never thought someone would actually call the police. Seeing the police coming, he was in a dilemma. Lu Lingxi stepped forward and said, "I called the police."
After hearing what he said, the tall man gritted his teeth and shouted, "I've called the police too. This store let the dog do the crime."
Lu Lingxi frowned and was about to explain when the policeman turned around and saw Dahei and suddenly laughed. "Isn't this Dahei?" Seeing Lu Lingxi's puzzled expression, he said in a very friendly manner, "Didn't you say that Dahei smelled the smell during the car accident last time? We didn't pay attention at the time and almost missed the clue. Later, we solved the case with Dahei. He is a good dog!" After he finished speaking, he looked at the tall man again, "Is there any misunderstanding? This dog is well trained and obedient. He won't bite anyone casually. What happened?" When he talked about what happened at the end, his eyes fell on Lu Lingxi again.
Lu Lingxi explained it all over again in a low voice. The policeman became serious, "You said the flowers were poisoned? Which flower can I see?"
The tall man rolled his eyes and motioned to his companion to pass the flower to the policeman. The policeman took the flower and subconsciously wanted to smell it. Lu Lingxi quickly reminded him: "Don't touch it, there may be dichlorvos on it."
"What's going on?"
Lu Lingxi carefully explained the matter of hormones and brighteners, and concluded by saying, "Some people want to save money, so they don't buy hormones and brighteners, but use other cheaper drugs instead, including dichlorvos, which is too toxic and more likely to cause poisoning."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd around him was in an uproar, cursing this unscrupulous and black-hearted businessman.
The man who had spoken for Lu Lingxi before said loudly: "Young Boss, I believe you. I am not someone who would do anything shady."
Lu Lingxi was somewhat touched and said, "All the green plants in the store are here. I can cooperate with the police's inspection." He looked calm and didn't show any guilt. He was also good-looking and looked like a well-behaved boy standing there. The crowd watching the excitement subconsciously favored him, thinking that he was not the kind of person who would do such a thing.
The tall man wanted to say something, but the policeman interrupted him, "Okay, didn't you say someone in your family was poisoned? This is a serious matter. Come back with me to the station and we'll formally open a case."
"Open a case? This..." The tall man was somewhat reluctant and hesitated to go. He looked at his companions with a wandering gaze. The short man looked at the police with a guilty conscience and stammered, "This... We are just bluffing the boss. In fact, no one is poisoned. We are just bluffing..."
After he said this, the crowd immediately understood that the two men were clearly out to blackmail him.
The policeman shook his head. "Bluff? Even if you are bluffing, come back with me and tell me about the Dichlorvos on the flowers."
There was nothing exciting to watch, and the crowd gradually dispersed. The police comforted Lu Lingxi, "It's okay, just go and talk about the situation."
Lu Lingxi nodded, not feeling scared. As soon as these two people came, they kept talking about Micro Gardening, and he always felt that there was some connection between them, in connection with the daffodil that Grandpa Su brought yesterday.
