After finishing up at the snack shop, Zhou Sui returned to the milk tea shop next door. As soon as she entered, she saw a pot of flowers on the counter.
The shop assistant explained to her, "It was delivered by the same boy who gave us the lucky cat last time."
Because these two pairs of lucky cats were particularly eye-catching at the time, the shop assistant remembered the person who delivered them.
Zhao Xinfeng?
Why would he send me flowers? That doesn't make sense. Could it be that Song Qi'an asked him to send them to me?
Zhou Sui could only think of this possibility; otherwise, why would Zhao Xinfeng send her flowers?
While the shop was relatively empty, Zhou Sui asked the staff to go to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for making the cake, and then she made a phone call to Song Qi'an.
This was the first phone call she made to Song Qi'an after he left.
"Sui Sui?" Song Qi'an on the other end of the phone was pleasantly surprised.
"Yes, it's me." Song Qi'an's cheerful voice made Zhou Sui unable to help but smile.
She pulled the potted plant closer to herself. Although she didn't know much about flowers, the one in front of her was very well cared for.
The flowers must have just started blooming; the buds aren't very big yet.
"Thank you for the flowers, they're beautiful." The words of thanks had barely left her lips when the person on the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent.
"What kind of flower?" Zhou Sui was stunned when she heard this question. Her hand, which was stroking the leaves, paused. "It's just a potted plant."
"A flower with pink buds." She really didn't know what the flower was called.
"Didn't you ask Zhao Xinfeng to deliver this? This flowerpot is porcelain white."
As Zhou Sui spoke, she turned the flowerpot around, and then she was surprised to find what appeared to be a card on the tray under the flowerpot.
"I didn't ask him to send flowers." Song Qi'an was still talking on the other end of the phone, but Zhou Sui was no longer listening and picked up the card.
On it was a line of elegant handwriting: "Seeing the flowers is like seeing you. These flowers are as beautiful as you, and I'm giving them to you especially—Aunt Wenxiu."
Aunt Wenxiu!!!
Zhou Sui felt as if a thousand horses were galloping through her heart. These flowers were a gift from Aunt Wenxiu!
She actually thought it was a gift from Song Qi'an!
Good heavens! What a ridiculous misunderstanding!
"Sui Sui?" The person on the other end of the phone called out several times after not getting a response from her for a long time.
"Huh? Yes, I'm here." Zhou Sui squeezed the card into her hand, feeling her palms sweating.
"I really didn't send the flowers. Do you know who sent them?"
"Aunt Wenxiu," Zhou Sui said awkwardly.
Song Qi'an on the other end unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought it was a gift from one of his suitors, after all, there were quite a few men in the university town, and Sui Sui was so dazzling.
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood." At first, when Song Qi'an didn't answer, Zhou Sui thought he was just embarrassed to admit it, but little did she know that he didn't know anything about it at all.
It's all my fault. Why did I call so quickly? I should have looked inside and out of this potted plant. That way, I would have found the card.
"No, it's my fault."
Song Qi'an's tone was extremely serious, "It was my own fault for not thinking of sending flowers, which disappointed you. I'm the one who should apologize."
No, that's not what she meant.
"I'm not disappointed, really, I am~" She just subconsciously thought it was Song Qi'an.
"Sui Sui, I know what to do, don't worry."
What do you know? And what are you going to do?
Zhou Sui wanted to ask for clarification, but Song Qi'an was busy. "My colleagues are waiting for me, so I have to go now. I'll call you back when I have time. I'll buy you the flowers; it was my oversight before."
Then the call ended. Zhou Sui held the receiver, somewhat bewildered. What was all that about?
Then, in the middle of the night, the Zhao family's phone rang.
Zhao Xinfeng, still half-asleep, squinted at the phone and spoke in a harsh tone.
Who feels comfortable having their sweet dreams disturbed in the middle of the night?
"Who should I look for?"
After the person on the other end spoke, his mind cleared up a little, and after listening to the whole thing, he was completely awake.
"Why? Why do I have to deliver flowers to Sister Zhou Sui every week?"
"Just do as I say, stop with the nonsense. I'll transfer the money directly to your account."
Before Zhao Xinfeng could speak, Song Qi'an blurted out, "Including the errand fee."
The words of refusal were on the tip of his tongue, but he immediately changed his mind and said, "Okay, I guarantee I'll complete the task."
Then he asked again, "Why did you buy flowers for Sister Zhou Sui? I just delivered some to her today; my aunt asked me to do it."
"Children shouldn't meddle in adults' affairs."
"Just get things done for me on time every weekend."
Zhao Xinfeng rolled his eyes. Now that he knew he was a child, how could anyone boss a child around like that?
Don't think he's really a kid. "Brother, do you like Sister Zhou Sui?" Zhao Xinfeng asked cheekily.
"Go to sleep." Then Song Qi'an hung up the phone.
Zhao Xinfeng put down the microphone and grinned broadly.
He doesn't know his brother yet; not denying it is tantamount to admitting it.
This is really big news! He has to tell Zhou Yu about it when he goes to school tomorrow. He doesn't know if Zhou Yu knows about it.
