Chapter 3: Let's Break Up
In the evening, Yan Xi sorted out all the flowers in the greenhouse, returned to the counter and began to calculate the orders, and after finishing the work at hand, he closed the store.
At this time, I suddenly heard the crisp sound of wind chimes on the porch.
"Welcome!" Yan Xi looked up at the door.
Coming in was a gray-haired old gentleman with obvious wrinkles on his face, but with a straight back, and wearing a navy blue Chinese gown, neatly dressed and very well-behaved.
"Hello, what type of flowers do you want to choose?"
The old gentleman smiled mildly and said elegantly: "My lover and I, tomorrow is the golden wedding anniversary." ”
"Golden wedding? You can take a stroll around here and see if there are any flowers you like. Yan Xi felt that it sounded very powerful, and he didn't quite understand it in his heart, but he didn't show a puzzled look on his face.
The old gentleman walked slowly in front of the wooden frame full of all kinds of flowers: "These are very beautiful, but I don't know how to match them." Tomorrow the kids will be back, and I want to set up the house in advance. ”
"Yes, you sit here. Yan Xi understood what she meant, and led the old gentleman to the tea table.
"If you're not in a hurry, I've got some previous cases here that you can take your time and choose. Yan Xi took out a booklet from the cabinet and handed it to the old gentleman.
The old gentleman took the booklet and opened it, and there were pages and pages of exquisite albums, various styles of flower furnishings, combined with different light scenes and furnishing environments.
"What is your surname, old man?" asked Yan Xi softly.
"My surname is Lin. The old gentleman replied.
Yan Xi took out the porcelain cup from the cabinet, put the best tea leaves, filled it with pure water and boiled it, and then picked up the tong to make tea for him.
After a while, Yan Xi gently placed the teacup in front of Mr. Lin: "Please." ”
Mr. Lin withdrew his gaze from the booklet and saw that the clear tea soup in front of him was steaming in the blue and white porcelain cup.
He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and praised, "Good tea." ”
Mr. Lin rubbed the blue and white porcelain cup in his hand, and then took it to the light and looked at it: "Boss, your teacup has a fine glaze and a strong blue color, not like an ordinary porcelain cup." ”
Yan Xi laughed and said lightly: "I don't know, I bought it casually on the Internet." Diverting the subject, he said, "Do you see a style that you like?"
Mr. Lin flipped through the booklet, pointed to two of the pages and said, "This red and white rose, and this sea of imperial flowers, are very good." ”
Red and white roses are a combination of red roses and white roses, and the Imperial Flower Sea is a combination of champagne roses and imperial flowers.
Yan Xi looked over and said approvingly: "It's all very good, one is gorgeous, the other is luxurious." ”
Mr. Lin said: "Then the Imperial Flower Sea." ”
"Are you furnishing it in the living room, or where?" Yan Xi took out the order booklet and wrote down Mr. Lin's request with a pencil.
"Arrange the whole house, four bedrooms and two living rooms, one hundred and eighty square meters. Mr. Lin said.
"If you want it tomorrow, it may be a little late, and it will be in place around five o'clock in the afternoon, can you see it?" Yan Xi explained.
Mr. Lin nodded: "It's okay, just a few people in your own family." ”
Yan Xi wrote the order, received the deposit, tore off the copy and handed it to Mr. Lin.
Mr. Lin stood up, inadvertently raised his head, and saw several Danqing brushstrokes hanging on the side wall of the sofa.
Danqing painted a mirage-like sea of flowers, and a few slender figures were sketched in the mountains and forests in the distance, as if there were nothing. There is an inscription at the bottom: "Danqing doesn't know that the old man is coming, and wealth is like a floating cloud to me." "The inscription is that it is snowing.
And there are two pieces of pen and ink, one is the Diamond Sutra of hairpins, and the other is the eight characters of "Humility and Valley, Ann Ruosu" written in Yan style, and the payment is still Tianxue.
Mr. Lin stopped for a long time before he exclaimed, "Who is this Tianxue?"
"It's me. Yan Xi smiled: "It's a pen name." ”
"Oh? Mr. Lin laughed and looked at the flower shop owner in front of him with an amazed expression: "I don't know what you call the boss?"
"The tide of words, the words of language, the tide of tides. Yan Xi replied.
Mr. Lin nodded slowly, looked around the flower shop carefully, tasted this simple and exquisite flower shop, and only after a long time did he hold back his surprise and sighed: "There are talents in the world, hidden in the city!"
"You're just praising it, it's just a pleasure. Yan Xi pursed his lips and smiled and sent him out of the door.
"It's interesting. Mr. Lin laughed and slowly left the flower shop.
Xiao Wu drove the car into the underground garage of an upscale community, parked the car, and took the elevator home.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw a delicate and petite girl sitting on the sofa, leaning on a pillow, watching TV.
When the girl saw Xiao Wu coming in, she hurriedly stood up and shouted, "Why didn't you answer the phone!"
Xiao Wu nodded indifferently: "I just sent it to my parents' house." ”
The girl walked towards him step by step, looking aggrieved.
"How is An An, did it scare her?" the girl asked.
Xiao Wu didn't answer, sat down on the sofa, stared ahead with a solemn expression, as if thinking about something unspeakable.
The atmosphere in the living room was heavy and somewhat breathless.
The girl cautiously stood beside Xiao Wu and pulled Xiao Wu's sleeve coquettishly: "Xiao Wu, are you angry? Oh, I didn't mean to." ”
Xiao Wu sighed, and finally said lightly: "Lin Qin, let's break up." ”
Lin Qin's mouth opened slightly in surprise, she had thought that An An's loss today would cause Xiao Wu's anger, but not to the point of breaking up.
Lin Qin shouted anxiously and angrily: "I didn't mean it!
Xiao Wu glanced at her coldly, paused, and said, "She's only three years old." ”
Lin Qin choked for a moment, knowing that he was wrong, and changed his pitiful face and said, "Xiao Wu, who hasn't made a mistake? I know I'm wrong, so you can forgive me this time, okay?"
Seeing that Xiao Wuliang did not respond for a long time.
Lin Qin's tears overflowed from his eyes, and he said anxiously: "You said it before! You said that if you could, we would get married! How can you casually mention breaking up?"
Xiao Wu finally turned his head to look at her, his slender fingers pinched his eyebrows, and said helplessly: "Lin Qin, I thank you very much for your dedication in the past two months." Today you agreed to help me pick up An An when I have a board meeting, and I am very grateful to you. Although the final result is not good, as you said, you don't want An An to get lost. So on the way back, I kept wondering what the hell was the problem. Xiao Wuchang sighed before slowly continuing, "You know, I've always been an unmarried. I made it clear to you before we dating, and I will try my best...... But the truth is, I am not a good match for you. So, don't waste everyone's time. ”
"We were obviously very good before!We were childhood sweethearts!Everyone knows that I have been chasing you for many years, and we are together!Everyone says that we are a good match, don't you?Xiao Wu, don't you be like this....." Lin Qin pleaded incoherently with tears.
Xiao Wu looked at the girl with pear blossoms and rain in front of him with some annoyance, and regretted it in his heart.
I shouldn't have been excited as soon as I was told in vain, and I listened to my sister's words and tried it, what a try, what a.
Seeing Xiao Wu's resolute attitude, Lin Qin finally cried, and the crying made Xiao Wu's heart go up and down, and he had a faint headache.
Xiao Wu stood up, went to the kitchen to pour a glass of boiled water for Lin Qin, and handed it to her.
Lin Qin sobbed and took the boiled water, took a sip, and was about to cry.
"Don't cry. Xiao Wu finally couldn't stand it anymore.
Lin Qin had two walnut-like eyes red and swollen, looking at him pitifully.
"What do you have to do to break up?" Xiao Wu said helplessly.
Lin Qin sobbed silently, turned the glass in his hand twice, and said in a thin voice: "I won't break up." ”
Xiao Wu couldn't resist the urge to hold his forehead, this is bullying him for not talking about love much, and he doesn't know how to deal with this situation?
Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Qin looked up and glanced at him secretly, stood up silently, picked up the bag next to the sofa, and put it on his body.
"Xiao Wu, I'm really sorry for today's incident...... You dissipate your anger, I'll go back first. Lin Qin said softly.
Xiao Wu was silent for a moment, but still said: "Lin Qin, you are very good, but we are really not suitable, let's separate, I don't want to delay you." ”
Lin Qin, who had already walked to the door, paused when he heard this, and only choked up after a long time: "That...... You promised my parents that you would come tomorrow, right?"
"Hmm. Xiao Wu said perfunctorily.
Lin Qin said curtly: "Then you have a good rest, we'll see you tomorrow......!" I will apologize to Sister Xiao Xian and An An another day. ”
She rubbed her red and swollen eyes and turned away.
As soon as Xiao Wu closed the door, he heard his mobile phone ringing.
He looked at the name on the caller ID and picked up the phone a little helplessly.
"What's the matter, haven't you been scolded?" Xiao Wudao.
"I think about it, it's all your fault! I can't blame Lin Qin!" The low female voice was soft but reproachful: "How can you let Lin Qin pick up An An from school? Lin Qin herself is still a child." ”
"Sister...... That's not what you said just now, you said that Lin Qin has no brains and takes a three-year-old child to the mall. ”
"......" Xiao Xian was stunned: "I was angry at the time." You told you that it's not easy for you to fall in love, but you can't find an excuse to break up. ”
"......" Xiao Wu diverted the topic and said apologetically: "Sister, I'm sorry." I suddenly had an important meeting, and I couldn't leave. I thought An An knew her too...... I'm sorry, I should have told you I couldn't go. ”
"Yes, if you say you can't go, I'll just let Grandma An An pick it up!" Xiao Xian said helplessly: "I called my mother just now, and An An is very well-behaved with her." Forget it, fortunately, I met a kind person, and nothing big happened. ”
Xiao Wuwen thought of the fairy-like girl and nodded: "An An is a blessed child. ”
"Have you said thank you to someone?" Xiao Xian asked seriously.
She said no. "Xiao Wudao.
"Eh, you're really ......" Xiao Xian said angrily: "You are like this, you send me her address or something, and when I come back from a business trip, I will go and thank you in person." ”
"Okay. "Xiao Wudao.
"Last time, when Lin Qin came to eat at home, did you say tomorrow?" asked Xiao Xian.
"Hmmm......"
"Let me tell you, this is the first time you have officially gone to the Lin family, you have to buy a gift, don't go empty-handed, understand?
Xiao Wu didn't answer.
Xiao Xian paused for a moment, and suddenly said, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Xiao Wu was silent for a moment, and then said with some confusion: "Sister, I don't think I'm suitable for Lin Qin." ”
Xiao Xian couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and his voice was a little crazy: "Alas, then what do you want to do? Don't tell me that you want to break up again?"
"It's been a breakup, and I'm dizzy when she's crying there. Xiao said weakly.
"She has been chasing you for so many years, will she agree to break up because of your words?" Xiao Xian didn't believe it.
"I guess I guess I agreed. Xiao Wu said, also a little unsure.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Yan Xi finished the things in the shop, turned off the neon sign of the flower shop, checked the doors, windows and power supply of the flower shop again, and locked the door of the shop from the inside.
Then take the elevator from the side of the store to the third floor.
The five-story building of the Weilan Flower Shop was originally an old-fashioned tube building.
Yan Xi bought this building because he liked its excellent location in the commercial area near the lake, and second, he liked that there was a large courtyard behind it, which could be used to build a flower house.
After she bought it, she rebuilt the entire building, renovating the building into two parts.
The first floor is connected to the second floor, the first floor is the flower shop, and the second floor is the rest area of the flower shop.
The third to fifth floors are also connected, and they are all used as her residences.
Elle often laughed at her for being a Bai Fumei who came out to experience life, otherwise who would buy a house and open such a big flower shop in this place where every inch of land is expensive, and the business is still tepid, and the rent alone can't last for three months.
Yan Xi returned home, pushed open the window, looked at the osmanthus tree in the middle of the courtyard in the courtyard, and leaned his head on his arm a little weakly.
"Another day passed. Yanxi muttered to himself, silently counted in his heart, and muttered: "It's been 62 months......."
Standing in front of the window for a long time, Yan Xi closed the window, closed the curtains, stood in the center of the living room, and gently closed his eyes.
Suddenly, I saw a touch of starlight between her eyebrows, she concentrated, folded her hands in front of her, and formed a complex handprint on her backhand, and when she spread out her palm, there was a finger-high container in the center of her palm, the container was an inverted key shape, transparent throughout, glowing with a faint blue light, and a little starlight in the container, like a liquid and a solid slowly flowing.
Although the key container is not large, there is not much starlight inside, only to cover the bottom.
Yan Xi stretched out two fingers, and chanted a spell in his mouth.
A few faint bits of starlight appeared out of thin air in the air, slowly falling into the key container, like a weary firefly returning to its nest.
Yan Xi picked up the key container and shook it, looking at the starlight capacity that had barely changed very helplessly, and let out a long sigh.
