Hearing her plans, Hongli chuckled, “Everyone else grows flowers and plants, but you only grow fruits and vegetables.”
"Flowers and plants are for looking at, not for eating." For her, practicality was the only important thing. Hongli tapped her nose with his finger and chuckled.
"Flowers and trees are for cultivating one's character, but you, with your little brain, only think about food."
"Food and sex are human nature, it's a basic human instinct!" Reminded by him, Su Yushan thought it over again and again, and finally changed her mind. "Fine! Since you've brought it up, I'll indulge in some refined pursuits and leave a small patch of land to plant some flowers!"
But what should we plant? That is the question.
Seeing her deep in thought and seemingly troubled, Hongli asked her what kind of flower she liked. Su Yushan pursed her lips and said with difficulty, "I like a purple flower that is very common in my hometown, but unfortunately I don't know its name."
"If you can draw it, I can help you find it."
Painting is a piece of cake for her. "Okay, I'll paint it when I have time. I'll plant vegetables first, and then flowers."

In the past, she would have felt relieved if Hongli didn't come to her, thinking that she would finally no longer have to serve him. But tonight, she didn't know what was wrong. Perhaps it was because she had just changed to a new bed and was not used to it. She tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
She never cared where Hongli stayed, but strangely, tonight she was wondering what Hongli was doing at this moment. She guessed that the two of them had already finished their dinner, and he was probably accompanying his beloved to his tent by now.
The thought of that scene inexplicably brought a bitter feeling to her throat, making her heart ache slightly.
