A cool breeze gradually rose, and the drunkenness was gradually dispelled by the cold.

After deciding to have the designated driver take Xiao Qinghan home later, Xiao Qinghan and Xia Ruoming, who were well fed and drunk, walked arm in arm on the street. For some reason, the kiss before seemed to have aroused a different feeling in Xia Ruoming's heart, and at this moment, the two of them seemed like a real couple walking together.

Xiao Qinghan took Xia Ruoming's hand and shook it, then pointed at the purple baby's breath displayed in the flower shop next to him with a drunken look on his face.

"Ruoming... look, those flowers are so beautiful."

Xia Ruoming's helplessness was almost written on her face. She had already called her by name. We agreed not to be disrespectful. You are the teacher and I am the student! Two cans of draft beer can make Xiao Qinghan drink like this. She must not be allowed to drink again in the future, otherwise she will go crazy in the street.

"Yes, it's very beautiful. Sister Qinghan, do you want it?" Seeing Xiao Qinghan's shining eyes, Xia Ruoming asked.

"Ruoming... give it to me... I want it." Xiao Qinghan looked into Xia Ruoming's eyes, and the words he said seemed a little unclear.

"Boss! Give me a bouquet of purple baby's breath!" Xia Ruoming did not hesitate and asked the flower shop to pack a bouquet of flowers.

"You have a good eye. Baby's breath usually blooms in May. These are the ones that have just bloomed. Sixty yuan." The owner of the flower shop was a young woman. She came out with a bouquet of about twelve baby's breath flowers and handed it to Xia Ruoming.

The moment he saw Xia Ruoming and Xiao Qinghan, the flower shop owner covered his mouth in surprise: "Wow, little sister, are you a couple? Your girlfriend is so beautiful and a perfect match for you. I'll charge you 40 yuan for this bouquet of flowers."

Hearing these words, Xiao Qinghan burst into laughter, extremely happy. Even though she knew it was just a means for the store to attract customers, she was still very happy.

"Ruoming, she said we look like a perfect match for each other." Xiao Qinghan held up the bouquet and waved it in the air, unable to hide the smile on her face.

"Yes, yes, Sister Qinghan is a good match with any girl." Looking at the drunk in front of her, she could only keep responding. How could she communicate normally with a drunk person?

Who knew that Xiao Qinghan would pinch Xia Ruoming's face again and look into her eyes: "It's not about any particular girl, it's about you, Ruoming, who is a perfect match for me."

Fortunately, the designated driver called in time, otherwise Xia Ruoming would not know how to end this ambiguous situation that was almost a confession. Despite Xiao Qinghan's reluctant and aggrieved expression, Xia Ruoming still pushed her into the car and confirmed that it was a female designated driver before she felt relieved, otherwise she would have to follow Xiao Qinghan back.

"Oh! It's time for me to go back too." Xia Ruoming moved her body, stretched, and prepared to call a taxi to go home. Her bicycle was still parked at the school.

"Why did you buy flowers for Teacher Xiao?"

A cold voice came from behind, and a jade hand was placed on her shoulder.

Xia Ruoming turned her head and saw Xu Fengwu looking at her aggrievedly, with tears flashing in his eyes.

At first she thought this crazy woman was following her, but out of the corner of her eye she saw the nameplate of the Garden Community across the street.

【Jinxiang Mingyuan】

"Puff..." Xia Ruoming almost vomited blood. No wonder she felt as if she had seen that restaurant before. The surrounding environment also seemed a little familiar. It turned out that the Southeast Asian restaurant that Xiao Qinghan brought her to was located near Xu Fengwu's home.

Walking into a trap, a bird in a cage, killing oneself by one's own doing, reaping what one has sown... many idioms describing the current situation popped up in Xia Ruoming's mind. She had never been able to avoid Xu Fengwu in the first place, but this time he offered himself to her.

The pride hidden in Xu Fengwu's nature would not dissipate easily. Even though she was made to behave abnormally by Xia Ruoming in the afternoon, she was able to adjust those abnormal emotions.

But after seeing Xia Ruoming buying flowers for Xiao Qinghan, Xu Fengwu felt that his rationality was like a candle in the wind, about to dissipate, just like he had faced the King in Yellow.

In the past few years, Xia Ruoming had only sent flowers to her.

Whether it was pink roses, lilacs, phalaenopsis, daisies, and primroses that symbolize first love, or star flowers, white gentian, forget-me-nots, and violets that symbolize unchanging love, Xia Ruoming had given them all to her.

Although Xu Fengwu did accept it, he would throw those flowers away somewhere unknown.

In order to please Xu Fengwu, Xia Ruoming even went to learn flower arrangement from Ji Chuan's mother Zhong Hui for several months, just to make an "elegant work of art" for Xu Fengwu that would match her temperament.

In fact, Xia Ruoming also knew that Xu Fengwu didn't like those flowers. She could tell from her expression when she took them, but she just enjoyed them. She thought to herself, maybe she would like this kind of flowers? Maybe she was just in a bad mood last time, but she would like them this time if she was in a good mood?

If someone likes you, she will be very happy to receive something even if it’s wild flowers from a green belt.

If someone doesn't like you, she will not like you even if you give her Juliet roses and Sri Lankan cactus flowers.

At that time, Xia Ruoming didn't understand that what she disliked was not the flowers, but Xia Ruoming herself.

Xu Fengwu not only saw the scene where Xia Ruoming gave Xiao Qinghan flowers, he even saw the scene where Xia Ruoming fed Xiao Qinghan with a spoon in the Southeast Asian restaurant, the scene where Xiao Qinghan cried on Xia Ruoming's shoulder, the scene where the two of them interlocked their little fingers and looked into each other's eyes, the scene where Xia Ruoming wiped Xiao Qinghan's tears, and the scene where Xia Ruoming was pressed on the chair and kissed deeply by Xiao Qinghan.

Because Xu Yihan had to go home very late today, she had originally planned to eat there.

She saw two people walking hand in hand on the road, attracting passers-by to look back frequently.

She saw Xia Ruoming making a bouquet of baby's breath for Xiao Qinghan in the flower shop, which symbolized pure and flawless love, and the owner of the flower shop praised the two of them for being a good match.

She saw the drunk Xiao Qinghan clinging to Xia Ruoming like a little bird, and the two of them were flirting openly.

When Xia Ruoming had dinner with her and gave her flowers, she never felt touched, nor did she have any good feelings towards Xia Ruoming. She just felt that she was like the protagonist in those rubbish romance novels, a little naive, a little funny, and could do nothing except move herself.

But if he saw with his own eyes that Xia Ruoming had been ignoring him, and then gave all the tenderness that belonged to him to other people without reservation, that nameless fire of jealousy would burn in his heart again, especially since that "other person" was an old woman who was far inferior to him, almost thirty years old, and only had the tail of her youth left!

Behind the jealousy comes endless grievances.
