"I never would have guessed."
Si Jin spoke softly, waiting for Yu Linyuan's lips to curve into a smile as he was about to take out the item, then suddenly smiled mischievously: "It can't be roses, can it? That's too tacky."
"..."
Suddenly I don't want to deliver it anymore.
But Uncle Yu quickly calmed down and presented the roses to the person: "These are for you. It's the seventh day after my sister's death, so it's not appropriate to make too many. Here are 99 roses, please accept them."
"Thank you." Si Jin accepted it, still overjoyed.
People say flowers are useless, but no one dislikes roses. What they really like is not the rose itself, but the gentleness and care it embodies.
Can……
Si Jin looked up and asked, "Are these fake flowers?"
“Yes, it’s fake,” Yu Linyuan said. “I asked the doctor about your asthma allergens. Although flowers are not included, I felt that the fragrance of real flowers was still not safe, so I made fake ones. But it’s not entirely fake.”
Yu Linyuan took two steps closer to Si Jin and reminded her, "Take a closer look at the flower's core."
Si Jin lowered her head and lifted the layers of petals of the fake flower. Hidden in the center of each flower was a candy—a strawberry lollipop with the stick cut off.
Si Jin opened another one, and it was still strawberry candy. She opened it again, and it was still strawberry candy inside. Every rose was filled with strawberry candy.
“Although my roses don’t have a fragrance,” Yu Linyuan said, “they have the sweetness of candy, which makes them special.”
Yu Linyuan, supporting the roses as if afraid that the 99 flowers would tire the frail boy, stood opposite him and slowly spoke, the solemnity in his eyes commanding respect.
“I said before that I wanted to say a few words to you. If you still want to leave, I won’t stop you. I’ve thought about it for a day and I want to talk about it from three perspectives.”
"First of all, my surname is Yu, I am thirty-two years old, my mother left home twenty years ago, my father and sister have passed away, and I am the only one at home. If you stay with me, you won't have any troubles with family matters."
"I have countless assets, am in good health, and have never had any illicit relationships. If you are not at ease, I can get a certificate from the hospital."
"I used to smoke, but I can quit. I can also change some habits that you don't like."
"Secondly, I will not live here. Where I live, I can give you a marriage that is legally binding, protected by law, and lasts a lifetime."
“If you stay with me, I will put your name on all my nameable assets, including my will and epitaph.”
"Finally, I asked the doctor and learned that your asthma and heart disease are medically incurable, but I can take care of you."
"The doctor said that if you take good care of your illness, it will never recur in your life, so you can be completely cured here."
"Alright, I've finished telling you what I had to say." Yu Linyuan took the roses, then took out the painting he had hidden from his briefcase and handed it to Si Jin.
"Now you can consider whether you want to tear up this painting again, or whether you want to create more memories with me."
Si Jin kept her head down, initially worried that he was about to confess his feelings and where she should put her hands, but Yu Linyuan kept her hands busy the whole time.
She even helped him carry the ninety-nine roses, fearing he might get tired, and then handed the painting to him.
He didn't say any fancy vows, but his simple statement, "I will put your name on all my assets that can be registered," was more powerful than many people's empty promises of "You are the only one in my heart" while holding their lovers.
"uncle."
"Yes, I'm here."
Because A Yuan often replied to him like that, in Si Jin's heart, a simple "I'm here" was more romantic than "I love you."
He asked, "How much time do I have to think?"
After all, Yu Linyuan said last time that opportunities that are not seized will be lost in an instant.
“There are many.” Yu Linyuan took off his suit jacket, loosened his tie as usual, unwrapped a candy and brought it to Si Jin’s lips. “As long as it’s you, I’m willing to wait forever.”
