Chapter 99 Looking at the Flowers I Raised
Ning Mingluo saw that Gu Xiucheng had a dark face because he was being teased, and he couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" As soon as he sat down, Gu Xiucheng squinted his eyes and looked at his little lover opposite him with a smile in his eyes.
"The boss lady just said a few words, and you reacted so strongly. Why didn't I notice that you were so possessive before?" Ning Mingluo held his chin with one hand and looked at Gu Xiucheng with a rising tone.
Gu Xiucheng didn't feel that Ning Mingluo was teasing him. Instead, he said in a low voice, "I have always been like this to you."
This made Ning Mingluo feel embarrassed. Why did he feel that Gu Xiucheng was sick again? Such a look and tone were really unfair!
Unable to bear it any longer, Ning Mingluo had to turn his attention to the vase on the table.
"These peach blossoms are quite beautiful and match the decoration of the store very well. They must have taken a lot of thought."
Gu Xiucheng glanced at it but did not expose the fact that Ning Mingluo was trying to change the subject.
Following Ning Mingluo's words, he asked, "Do you like peach blossoms?"
Ning Mingluo lightly tapped the petals of one of the flowers. "I can't say I like them that much, but I just think the peach blossoms here are very special and exceptionally beautiful, just like what is described in books. I guess the people who raised them put a lot of thought into them."
Flowers grown with love are exceptionally different, and each petal reveals vitality.
Gu Xiucheng agreed with this statement very much. He felt that he should be considered a qualified flower grower now.
His gaze fell on the flowers he raised, and there was tenderness in his eyes.
The window is the best spot in this store, and the soft sunlight falls on Ning Mingluo.
The young man has a clean temperament, without a trace of sadness between his brows, and his whole body exudes an aura of happiness.
Gu Xiucheng is not interested in anything else now. He just wants to take good care of Ning Mingluo. He feels very happy when he sees Ning Mingluo shining brightly.
When they first met Ning Mingluo, he was in a somewhat depressed state. After knowing what he had experienced, he felt even more distressed.
So he always wanted to be better and better to Ning Mingluo. Every time he saw the light in Ning Mingluo's eyes, he felt that what he did was worth it.
Fortunately, his flower-growing skills are good and are now showing initial results.
"Why do you keep looking at me like that?"
Gu Xiucheng's gaze became increasingly hotter and more explicit, and Ning Mingluo couldn't pretend not to see it.
"Looking at my flowers."
Thinking about what he had just said, Ning Mingluo felt embarrassed to look at Gu Xiucheng.
A pink blush crept up Ning Mingluo's cheeks. She covered her face with her hands embarrassedly and avoided his gaze.
No matter how long they have been together, Ning Mingluo always gets shy when facing Gu Xiucheng.
The phrase "people are more beautiful than flowers" suddenly popped up in Gu Xiucheng's mind.
For the first time, he intuitively felt the meaning of this word.
The proprietress's voice broke the pink aura surrounding the two of them.
"The noodles are here."
The person who came to deliver the noodles was actually the boss's wife. The beauty's slender arms were holding two bowls of noodles steadily.
"Please enjoy it."
The proprietress treats her own food very seriously, as if it is not just two simple bowls of noodles.
Beautiful blue and white porcelain bowls are filled with exquisite noodle soup.
It is no exaggeration to describe this bowl of noodles as exquisite.
The noodles were neatly arranged in the bowl, and each side dish was cut into different shapes, looking like petals.
The soup base is bright and the flavor is enticing.
Ning Mingluo sniffed it and said, "It really makes me hungry."
It’s still a familiar taste, a taste that makes people feel happy.
The two of them picked up their chopsticks together. Even though they had eaten it many times, Ning Mingluo found the taste amazing every time.
"How is it? Doesn't it taste good?"
Gu Xiucheng nodded, looked at Ning Mingluo's bright eyes, and suddenly thought of the dream Ning Mingluo had told him last night.
"Have you eaten noodles from this restaurant in your dream?" I asked this question casually.
Ning Mingluo didn't react for a moment, and nodded subconsciously: "Yes, and I come here often to eat."
After he finished speaking, he realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing. How could anyone have such detailed dreams that they could remember them so clearly after waking up?
He opened his mouth, wanting to explain something.
Gu Xiucheng pushed the side dishes in front of him closer to Ning Mingluo and said, "If you like it, we'll come here often."
He didn't ask any further questions about the strange things Ning Mingluo had just said.
Looking at Gu Xiucheng, Ning Mingluo pursed her lips.
This guy... I really believe whatever he says.
The amount of noodles was not much, but it tasted very pleasant. After finishing the noodles, Gu Xiucheng called the proprietress over again.
"Did they buy the ribbons and tags for the peach tree at the door from you?"
The proprietress shook her head and gently waved the fan in her hand: "No need to buy them, I give them to you when I'm in the mood. Why, do you want them too?"
Ning Mingluo was listening from the side. He didn't know why, but he always felt that the proprietress in front of him didn't seem to be afraid of Gu Xiucheng at all.
This is the first time I've met someone like this.
After all, whether you know Gu Xiucheng or not, you will be more or less frightened by his aura when you meet him for the first time.
Although he looks young, he exudes a temperament that transcends the world.
I was silently shocked by my own thoughts. It was really because I was reborn, so when I looked at people, I would think of these things involuntarily.
Gu Xiucheng's voice brought his thoughts back to reality.
"Can you give us one?" Gu Xiucheng didn't think there was anything wrong with the boss lady's attitude. His bottom line was Ning Mingluo. As long as it didn't involve Ning Mingluo, he didn't care much about strangers' attitude towards him.
The proprietress looked them over and asked, "Are you lovers?"
Gu Xiucheng nodded and admitted it generously.
He had never thought of hiding his relationship with Ning Mingluo, but now it was not convenient to tell everyone because of Ning Mingluo's work.
If others knew that Ning Mingluo was his lover, they would completely deny Ning Mingluo's efforts.
Ning Mingluo is obviously very outstanding, and he doesn't want to overshadow his lover's brilliance.
However, in front of people who were not involved in this matter, Gu Xiucheng's attitude was very generous.
The proprietress smiled when she heard Gu Xiucheng's answer.
"Wait, I'll get it for you."
Ning Mingluo asked Gu Xiucheng doubtfully, "Do you want to hang that too?"
When they entered the door, they glanced at the peach tree, but he remembered that Gu Xiucheng's gaze did not linger for long.
Ning Mingluo thought that a mature and steady businessman like Gu Xiucheng would not be very interested in such girly things.
"I really wasn't interested in this kind of thing before, but now that you're by my side, I want to give it a try."
In fact, Gu Xiucheng is not interested now, but he met Ning Mingluo together, and Gu Xiucheng felt that he should keep something as a commemoration.
The proprietress took out two wooden signs and a red ribbon.
He handed the wooden sign to Gu Xiucheng, along with the brush he brought along.
"Can you use a brush?" Although the two people in front of her looked like they could use a brush, the proprietress still asked the question as usual.
“Well, we write it ourselves.”
Gu Xiucheng took the pen, dipped it in ink, and lightly wrote on the wooden sign.
Ning Mingluo moved closer to Gu Xiucheng and wanted to see his calligraphy.
Because he often has to film costume dramas, and he recently filmed a drama directed by Zeng, he has also practiced calligraphy. However, his style is very utilitarian, so the words he writes can only be said to be barely acceptable. But Gu Xiucheng's handwriting is very different.
The pen moves like a dragon, each stroke is natural and sharp, and unlike Gu Xiucheng's personality, each character is square and very dignified.
If I were to describe Gu Xiucheng's calligraphy in four words, it would be pleasing to the eye!
Ning Mingluo looked at it and asked, "Have you learned it?"
"Well, my parents taught me to cultivate my character when I was a kid, but I rarely pick up a pen these days."
I am usually busy with work, and as my bad mood worsens, calligraphy is of no use at all.
The proprietress rarely praised Gu Xiucheng: "That's quite modest. Your calligraphy is no worse than those of other calligraphers. It will be a model for others to learn from."
Just a few words have highlighted Gu Xiucheng's skills.
"Aren't you going to write?" The proprietress turned her head and looked at Ning Mingluo who was still watching next to her.
"My handwriting is not as beautiful as his." Ning Mingluo felt a little embarrassed.
The proprietress handed Ning Mingluo another pen and said, "But for a wooden plaque like this, you have to write on it yourself to show your appreciation."
"That's true."
Each of them had a wooden sign and they finished writing quickly.
"Just go hang it up outside."
The two of them moved quickly and hung the wooden signs next to each other.
The wooden sign was hung with a red ribbon, swaying gently.
Ning Mingluo hadn't finished reading what Gu Xiucheng had written just now, but now that he saw it, he was stunned.
[May my network be luckier and happier, no matter when and where]
It was a very ordinary blessing, but when Ning Mingluo looked at the last few words of Gu Xiucheng, he always felt that Gu Xiucheng seemed to know something, otherwise why would he write such words.
Glancing at Gu Xiucheng, the man was looking at the wooden sign he had written.
Ning Mingluo's handwriting is rather elegant, just like him, thin but resilient.
There aren't many words on the wooden sign.
【May everyone I love be happy】
Ning Mingluo is already very content with his current life and doesn't need to demand too much.
As long as the people he loves are happy, he feels that his life is fulfilled.
Although the wooden sign is small, the message it conveys is very warm.
The two stood under the tree for a while and were about to leave when the proprietress called Ning Mingluo.
"I think you have a good impression on me. Come and have noodles with me often when you have time. I'll treat you." The proprietress didn't care about Gu Xiucheng who was standing next to her at all.
So Gu Xiucheng's face, which had finally gotten better, turned dark again.
Ning Mingluo knew that the proprietress had no other intentions, so he reached out and patted Gu Xiucheng, then responded to the proprietress's words with a smile.
Looking at the two people's backs, the smile on the proprietress's lips became more and more obvious, and her eyes became deeper. Until she could no longer see the two people, she turned around and hummed a little tune and went back to the store.
Gu Xiucheng, who had a sullen face, was finally comforted by Ning Mingluo's kiss.
After all, Ning Mingluo was afraid of scaring his staff by bringing such a Gu Xiucheng to meet them.
