Episode 475 Flowers
The dishes on the table were a little cold. Fortunately, Tang Qing and Shi Chen were not picky people. In line with the principle of not wasting food, they ate most of the ordered dishes and chatted about their plans for the May Day holiday.
Tang Qing was very relaxed when chatting with Shi Chen. They could talk about anything and she was not so talkative. Although she was not a lively person, she would not remain silent in front of acquaintances. She would only remain silent when she did not want to communicate at all.
Whether you want to communicate or not also depends on the other party's attitude.
Shi Chen has a very good personality and speaks in a measured and non-offensive manner. It is very comfortable to chat with him - this is similar to the past.
Shi Chen is very successful in his career now, but he is still very humble in his dealings with others and does not give orders. This is not easy.
Last Friday, after dinner, the two of them strolled around the nearby commercial district for a while.
"Would you like to go to Jijin City with me on May Day?" After strolling for a while, Shi Chen invited Tang Qing.
Tang Qing: "Wait for me to confirm the work schedule next week. You might have to work overtime."
Shi Chen nodded and said with a smile: "You are so dedicated since you just started working. Your boss is really lucky."
Tang Qing: "The salary is there, so I have to be dedicated to my job."
As the two were talking, they passed by a flower shop. Shi Chen saw the shop, grabbed Tang Qing and brought her in.
There weren't many flowers left in the flower shop at night, but when you came in you could still smell the rich floral scent. Just like this warm season, there was a feeling of hope.
Tang Qing took a deep breath and felt his mood improved.
"Ma'am, sir, is there anything I can help you with?" the clerk came up and asked with a smile.
Shi Chen's eyes wandered around and finally landed on the lilies and white roses. "I want all the remaining lilies and roses."
Shop assistant: "Okay, sir, I'll help you pack it right away."
The clerk went to get the lilies and roses, took them to the packaging area and started trimming them.
Tang Qing glanced at the flowers on the shelf, then turned to look at the man beside him.
Shi Chen had the same smile on his face as usual, "You like lilies, I think I'm not mistaken?"
"I'm not mistaken." Tang Qing also smiled. "After all these years, you still remember it."
"I still remember that your birthday is on May 5th," Shi Chen said, "so I want to be selfish and invite you to spend it alone in Jincheng."
Tang Qing was even more surprised. She didn't expect Shi Chen to remember her birthday. It had been seven or eight years since she graduated from college. If she didn't remember it specifically, she would have no impression of it.
Take herself for example, except for the birthdays of her parents and two good friends, she can't remember the birthdays of others.
Not to mention my ex-boyfriend, he wouldn't waste that brain capacity at all.
"My friend has a large flower field over there where he grows lavender, tulips and lilies. He recently signed a promotion cooperation agreement with the local cultural tourism industry. Before it gets too popular, I'd like to take you there to see it. It's quite beautiful," Shi Chen introduced to her.
Tang Qing came back to his senses, looked him in the eyes, and said "thank you" seriously. "I'll let you know when I confirm the time next week."
The florist was very skillful and had tied a bouquet of flowers in less than ten minutes.
Shi Chen took the flowers and walked out of the flower shop with Tang Qing.
He stopped by the roadside, turned around and stood in front of Tang Qing, handing her a large bouquet of flowers.
Tang Qing took it.
Before she could say anything grateful, Shi Chen suddenly opened his arms and hugged her: "You accepted my flowers, can I understand this as your answer?"
Answer.
Tang Qing realized instantly that he was talking about "making up for the regret" before.
Not long ago, Shi Chen proposed to date her. After she confessed her relationship with Jiang Budu to him, Shi Chen did not give up the idea. He said there was no rush and asked her to think about it seriously.
Tang Qing held the flowers in one hand, feeling the warmth coming from Shi Chen's body. After a moment of silence, she raised her arms and hugged him back.
"Okay." Tang Qing's two words were not loud, but very clear.
After hearing this, Shi Chen immediately smiled and hugged her tighter, "I'm very happy."
…
After coming out of the flower shop, the two walked back to the parking spot.
Shi Chen glanced at his watch. It was half past eight. He tentatively asked Tang Qing, "Shall I take you home?"
Tang Qing: "Didn't you drive here?"
Shi Chen: "Just find a designated driver to drive the car back for you, you can take my car."
Tang Qing nodded, "That's fine."
The two quickly reached an agreement and called a designated driver. After handing the keys to the driver, Tang Qing and Shi Chen got in the car.
The car had just been driving for a while when Shi Chen suddenly freed up a hand and held her tightly.
His palms were dry and warm, and the touch was very comfortable, making people feel nostalgic.
Shi Chen held her hand, squeezing her palm with his fingertips, sometimes lightly and sometimes heavily.
The hints between adults do not need to be too obvious. They are not inexperienced teenagers anymore. They had an ambiguous relationship many years ago and now they have confirmed the relationship. They both have the answer in their hearts as to what the next step is.
Tang Qing stared at Shi Chen's hands for a while. His hands were still the same as they were back then, with long fingers, distinct joints, and neatly trimmed nails.
"Just focus on driving first. This is not safe." Tang Qing gently pulled his hand out.
Shi Chen: "Okay, I'm just in a very good mood."
Tang Qing was silent for a few seconds, then took out his phone and opened the food delivery app.
She tapped the screen twice, took a deep breath, glanced at the person in the driver's seat, and twitched her lips slightly: "What brand?"
Shi Chen: “Hmm?”
"Condoms." Tang Qing said concisely, "Which brand do you usually use?"
Shi Chen smiled knowingly, "You are the one experiencing it, so I should ask you about your habits."
Tang Qing: "Then I'll buy Okamoto."
Shi Chen: “No problem.”
"I don't have any clothes to change into. There is a shopping mall near the community. You can go there first." After Tang Qing placed the order, he thought of this matter again.
Shi Chen praised her: "You are so considerate."
Tang Qing: "I thought you would sigh and say I'm really experienced."
She said this with a smile, but there was a hint of self-mockery between the lines, which Shi Chen keenly caught.
"That's great," Shi Chen said. "I'm the beneficiary, so I should be secretly happy."
Upon hearing this, Tang Qing couldn't help but look at Shi Chen again. His expression was serious and his eyes were sincere, without any sign of perfunctoriness.
Tang Qing has come into contact with quite a few men, and she knows the so-called bad qualities of men very well. She always feels that no one can really not mind these things. If they say they don't mind, they are just acting.
If Shi Chen is also acting, then his acting skills are pretty good.
After pondering for a moment, Tang Qing laughed and did not delve into the issue any further.
There is really no need to thoroughly study every detail in relationships between men and women; human nature cannot withstand repeated study.
To maintain a relationship, both parties need to turn a blind eye to certain things, as long as they do not involve the bottom line.
