Chapter 365, Update 2
365:
Having said her piece, Ye Qingxi prepared to leave.
Qin Cheng naturally went with him.
Huo Zinan saw them to the door and wanted to see them off further, but Ye Qingxi stopped him, saying, "You've had a long day, you should get some rest."
Huo Zinan then gave up.
He watched Ye Qingxi and Qin Cheng turn and walk out, close the door, and look at the room in front of him.
It was someone else's house after all, and Huo Zinan still felt a little uncomfortable living there.
However, he was alone in the room now, and he unconsciously relaxed a little.
When Huo Zinan passed by Mu Shaoyan's bedroom, he pushed open the door but did not go in. Instead, he glanced at the photo of Mu Shaoyan and Ye Qingxi on the desk from afar.
Ye Qingxi in the photo is still very young, and looks about the same age as when they first met.
Remembering something, Huo Zinan closed the door and walked towards his bedroom.
He opened his suitcase and took out a photo of himself that he had kept in a hidden compartment.
Those were photos taken when the variety show was almost over. There were group photos of everyone, as well as photos of two or three people.
At that time, he had not yet heard Ye Qingxi's declaration of friendship with his friend, so he also took a group photo with Ye Qingxi.
To this end, he even deliberately lured Tao Tao, who wanted to take photos with them, away from the group.
Huo Zinan looked at the photo in his hand, at his own awkward yet undeniable smile, and at Ye Qingxi holding his hand. He thought about displaying it on the bedside table in his bedroom.
In this way, it was as if he also had a connection with the house.
Then it wouldn't feel so unfamiliar and lonely.
Meanwhile, Ye Qingxi and Qin Cheng exited the elevator, entered the underground parking garage, and walked forward.
It was already dark, but since they had eaten late, they weren't hungry.
Oh right, Ye Qingxi remembered something and took out her phone to start searching for nearby flower shops.
He was so engrossed in his search that he forgot to look at the road, his eyes glued to his phone. Just then, Qin Cheng tugged at him.
"Be careful," Qin Cheng said.
Ye Qingxi looked up, somewhat bewildered, and blinked.
Qin Cheng: ...
"Watch where you're going," Qin Cheng said helplessly.
Ye Qingxi looked down and realized that someone had spilled a drink where she had just left.
Thankfully, she didn't step on it, otherwise, the sticky feeling under her feet was something Ye Qingxi found very uncomfortable.
"Why are you suddenly looking at flower shops?" Qin Cheng asked, looking at the screen on his phone.
"Oh, order a bouquet of flowers for Huo Zinan," Ye Qingxi said.
I was supposed to give it to him when I picked him up, but I forgot about it after I went to see Qin Cheng at noon, and I only remembered it just now.
Qin Cheng: ? ? ?
Qin Cheng: ...
Qin Cheng was confused; why would they send him flowers?!
What makes Huo Zinan so special?
Does he deserve it?!
Qin Cheng silently took out his phone, silently searched for flower shops, and silently chose the one with the highest overall ranking.
"Let's go with this place. What would you like to book?"
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi recalled the words Pei Liang had said to him during class.
He wanted to laugh but was too embarrassed to laugh in front of Qin Cheng, so he could only say, "Just order a small sunflower."
Isn't this the flower that Huo Zinan wanted to give to his younger brother back then? — Qin Cheng still remembers it, being quite petty.
How many flowers?
"One flower will do," Ye Qingxi said. "Send them for a month."
"A month?!" Qin Cheng looked at his younger brother.
What merit or ability does Huo Zinan possess?!
One more month?!
He has never accepted any flowers from Ye Qingxi, let alone for a month!
Qin Cheng: ...
Qin Cheng placed the order, filled in the address, and paid, speechless.
Luckily he came along, otherwise, it would have been his brother who was buying and delivering the flowers today!
Qin Cheng felt awkward whenever he thought about this.
Ye Qingxi tilted her head to look at his profile, but couldn't discern anything.
Qin Cheng has never been one to easily show his emotions since childhood. He doesn't exhibit any obvious emotional fluctuations and has a rather aloof and distant demeanor.
And that's exactly what he did.
Before junior high school, he once refused to make friends with the kids in his class and around him because he thought they were too stupid.
It wasn't until he met Zhang Chun, who was specially admitted to Sizhi High School because of his good grades, in junior high school that he discovered Zhang Chun's mathematical talent and thought that Zhang Chun was also quite smart, so he reluctantly became friends with him.
After the high school entrance exam, Zhang Chun also applied to No. 1 High School, and the two continued their friendship.
When Ye Qingxi first entered high school and met Zhang Chun, she was very happy. It was not for anything else, but because her friendship with Qin Cheng, which belonged only to her, seemed to be becoming more and more stable and solid day by day.
Therefore, when Ye Qingxi heard him say "a month," she felt that he seemed somewhat surprised or even a little dissatisfied, but she couldn't tell from his expression.
So, is he actually dissatisfied?
Ye Qingxi pondered for a moment and explained to Qin Cheng, "He's all alone now and has been through a lot, so it's inevitable that he's feeling a bit negative. That's why I wanted to give him something that would make him happy and hopeful. This little sunflower is bright yellow, and bright colors tend to give people positive suggestions. Plus, it's the flower he wanted to give me back then, so it's very meaningful. That's why he'll be happier when he sees it."
Qin Cheng knew, of course, that there was no other meaning behind Ye Qingxi sending him flowers. He just felt that Ye Qingxi had given too much to Huo Zinan and worried about him too much.
He has always worried about his family since he was a child.
Huo Zinan isn't family, nor is he any close friend, so why should he go to so much trouble for him?
However, Qin Cheng was also well aware of this.
This is Ye Qingxi.
Ye Qingxi is the kind of person who cares and is willing to care.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so concerned about their family and helped them reunite with their father when they had just met and didn't have a deep relationship.
Qin Cheng himself couldn't do it, but that didn't stop him from appreciating and liking Ye Qingxi like this. So even though he wasn't happy about it, he wouldn't stop Ye Qingxi.
"Mm," Qin Cheng responded, not letting himself reveal any further emotion.
Upon seeing this, an idea flashed through Ye Qingxi's mind.
He didn't show it directly, but instead got into the car with Qin Cheng as if nothing had happened.
Li Wei first took Qin Cheng home, and then drove Ye Qingxi to the Mu family's house.
At that moment, Ye Qingxi opened her phone, selected a flower shop near Qin Cheng's house, and began choosing flowers.
What flowers should I buy?
Ye Qingxi hesitated.
The main issue is that Qin Cheng doesn't seem to have ever liked any flowers from childhood to adulthood.
He scrolled down through the options—roses, orchids, baby's breath, lilies—until he finally stopped on tulips.
What is the meaning of tulips?
Ye Qingxi searched online out of curiosity and found that the descriptions included: benevolent, elegant, wealthy, considerate, and intelligent.
It seems that apart from Bo'ai not quite matching Qin Cheng, everything else matches.
So Ye Qingxi placed an order for a bunch without hesitation.
The shop owner added him on WeChat shortly afterward and confirmed the recipient's phone number and last name with him.
"What should be written on the card?" the shop owner asked.
Ye Qingxi thought for a moment and said to her, "Just write: Thank you for spending so much time with me today."
After saying that, Ye Qingxi changed her mind: "[Never mind, let's write: '[Thank you for your company]'. Oh, and change the number of flowers to nine; I'll make up the difference."
"Okay," the shop owner replied.
She quickly wrote the card and thoughtfully added a small heart at the end of each sentence.
Huo Zinan was packing his luggage at home when there was a sudden knock on the door.
He was puzzled, then his phone rang again.
Huo Zinan looked at the unfamiliar number and answered it.
"Hello, your flowers have arrived."
Flowers? Huo Zinan became increasingly puzzled. He hadn't ordered any flowers.
What flower?
It is a little sunflower.
Now Huo Zinan found out.
He put on his mask, went outside, opened the door, and took the little sunflower.
Huo Zinan looked at them, then took the flowers in her hand and went inside.
He needs to buy a vase, he thought, so that he can see these little sunflowers at home every day.
"Thank you." Huo Zinan messaged Ye Qingxi: "I've received the little sunflower; it's very pretty."
Ye Qingxi smiled: "I'm glad you like it."
He said, "For the next month, I will send you one flower every day."
As Huo Zinan watched, he felt as if something was slowly flowing through his heart.
What makes him worthy of having a friend like Ye Qingxi?
He wanted to tell Ye Qingxi that she didn't need to do so much.
In the end, all that was said was: "Thank you."
Ye Qingxi sent him a pat-on-the-head emoji: [You're welcome~]
Qin Luan saw Qin Cheng return and asked him, "Have you finished with Xiao Xi's matter?"
"Mm," Qin Cheng replied.
"Want to eat?"
"Not hungry yet."
"Then let's have some soup. I just asked the auntie to make some."
"Okay," Qin Cheng replied.
He changed his clothes, left the bedroom, and had soup with Qin Luan.
Just as I was drinking, I heard a knock on the door.
The aunt went over, opened the door, and saw flowers. She assumed they were from Mu Zheng.
“It’s flowers.” She walked into the restaurant and handed the flowers to Qin Luan. “Sir, you are so romantic.”
Qin Luan blinked, somewhat puzzled.
When Mu Zheng sends flowers, the main flower is usually a rose, with other flowers mixed in as accents, but they are just for decoration.
Why did I suddenly send her tulips today?
She took it and saw that there was also a greeting card among the flowers.
Qin Luan picked it up and saw that the greeting card read: "Thank you for your company~"
It also comes with a cute little heart.
The signature was written with the character "叶" (Ye).
Qin Luan: ? ? ?
Seeing the confusion on her face, Qin Cheng asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Qin Luan turned to look at him, "I feel like there's something strange about this flower."
"What's strange?"
"It doesn't look like it's for me."
"Then is it for me?" Qin Cheng found his mother's words somewhat amusing.
Qin Luan picked up her phone, took a picture, and sent it to Mu Zheng: [Did you buy this?]
Mu Zheng replied quickly: 【No.】
Mu Zheng: [Who gave it to you?]
Qin Luan: ...If it wasn't Mu Zheng who bought it, then who did?
leaf?
She does know a few clients with the surname Ye, but they are all women.
It can't be Ye Qingxi either, can it?
What flowers did Ye Qingxi send her?
She wasn't hospitalized even though it wasn't a holiday.
"Sister Li, did he tell you who it was for?"
"For Miss Qin."
Miss Qin, that should be her, Qin Luan became increasingly puzzled.
"But?" Sister Li remembered, "He just mentioned Xiao Cheng's phone number."
Qin Luan: ? ? ?
Qin Luan looked at her son sitting next to her: "...Miss Qin?"
Qin Cheng: ? ? ?
Qin Luan handed the flowers she was holding to her son, saying, "Look, Miss Qin, these are your flowers~"
After saying that, she couldn't help but laugh.
Qin Cheng: ...
Qin Cheng simply couldn't understand how this was his flower.
He picked up the card from the flower with a speechless expression and saw the sentence and Ye's signature.
Ye? Xiao Xi?
He bought it for him?!
