Chapter 10 Top of the Storm 35

On this flat and wide road, the three-day journey did not seem so long.

Xiao Zhang hummed a tune, holding the steering wheel with both hands, and the off-road vehicle drove on the road in the evening.

"It's the third day, we should be in Thunderstorm City, right?!" Townsend asked in the back seat, because the three days of wind and quiet had made him feel a little unaccustomed.

"Hmm...... I'll see, there's still half an hour left so we're getting there, we're on the outskirts of Thunderstorm City now. Kathu said, looking at the map.

The periphery of Thunderstorm City can already feel a bustling atmosphere, with small shops displaying dazzling lights on the streets. Pedestrians, travelers, and some people who seem to be warriors shuttle back and forth on this evening street, which looks very bustling and lively.

Lloyd stumbled upon a flower shop and shouted at Zhang, "Stop! I'm going to buy something! ”

Xiao Zhang hesitated for a moment and pulled over.

Loyd got out of the car and hurried into the flower shop......

"What flowers do you think Lloyd will buy for Nicole?" Tang Sen said with a wicked smile on the side.

"It's definitely a rose!" Catou said seriously.

Nicole looked at the figure of Lloyd who had already walked into the flower shop, and her cheeks flushed.

"At first glance, you know that you will definitely not chase girls, flowers have words, only send roses, how old-fashioned!" Townsend said disdainfully to Kathu.

Katu turned to face Townsend in the back seat with a fierce look and said, "It's like you have a girlfriend!" ”

Townsend was speechless.

"Then tell me what flowers you want to send in exchange for you? It's also flowery, I think you're a jungle weirdo, it's almost the same as sending a cactus. It looks sleek, but it's actually covered in thorns! Kathu said mockingly.

"What did you say!?" Townsend was about to get serious with Kathu when he was persuaded by Nicole.

In this humble flower shop-

An old lady sat in a conspicuous position, wearing reading glasses, knitting a sweater with trembling hands, and saw Lloyd enter the flower shop in the dust, raised her glasses and said: "Pick it yourself, as long as it is a flower that corresponds to the season, we have it here!" ”

Lloyd looked at the old lady curiously—her temples were gray, her face was wrinkled with age, and her kind eyes were like an old mother. Especially the sweater she was knitting in her hand, that size was quite special.

"Did you knit this sweater for your daughter?" Lloyd asked gently, because a figure of this size is generally a woman's figure.

"Oh, it's not! It's for my godson! The old lady didn't pay much attention to Lloyd at this time, but replied nonchalantly, and then concentrated on knitting the sweater.

"Old lady, do you have a purple pansy here?!" Lloyd asked for such a nickname.

Who knew that the old lady excitedly put down the sweater she was knitting, got up slowly, and said tremblingly: "Yes! Do you like this flower too!? ”

Lloyd smiled thoughtfully and said, "That's right! I also like this flower. In addition, I would like to ask you if the purple pansy is sold in the nearby flower shop, or is it just yours? ”

The old lady pursed her mouth angrily and said unhappily, "Don't you know? Is this florist the only one and only? Not to mention the flowers! ”

It seems that the old lady and her flower shop have been here for many years.

"Ahh Excuse me! I'm sorry to excuse me for asking this because I saw that your flowers are very special. Lloyd politely reassured the slightly angry old lady.

When the old lady heard the handsome young man in front of her praise her flowers for being special, her mood changed from cloudy to sunny, and she began to talk endlessly about the history of this flower shop, the varieties of flowers, and how to cultivate them......

Leud listened and looked around the flower shop.

The old lady noticed that Loyd was a little different from the people who usually came to buy flowers, so she asked, "Young man, who are you going to buy flowers for?" ”

"For my girlfriend!" Lloyd replied without thinking.

"What about roses?" The old lady asked deliberately, pointing to the flaming roses on the side.

"It's too ordinary, it's warm but it lacks substance." Lloyd replied simply.

This simple answer surprised the old lady, because for so many years, no young couple would be here to taste the flowers and pick the flowers.

"I'm sorry for you, I think you must have a soft spot for this purple pansy!" Loyd said with a smile.

The old lady was even more surprised, how could this handsome and domineering young man in front of her with his hands wrapped in bandages and plasters, but not losing his handsome and domineering spirit, be able to see through his own heart as if he could read minds!? And there are a lot of flowers in the flower shop, why did this young man just say this purple pansy!?

Seeing the old lady's surprised expression, Lloyd smiled and asked, "Would you like to tell me your story?" ……”

The old lady nodded happily and excitedly, it had been many years, and no one had talked to her like this for many years.

Outside the flower shop――

"Why has Big Brother Lloyd been gone for so long, there shouldn't be any situation, right?" Xiao Zhang asked uneasily.

"Yes, it takes so long to buy flowers, shouldn't he have chosen the most expensive flowers, and then because he couldn't afford them, he was detained by the boss to do chores. Nicole, you're going to have to save him. Townsend joked at Lloyd.

Nicole glanced at Townsend and felt that his humor was not humorous at all.

"Xiao Zhang, you go and call Lloyd and tell him to hurry up." Kathu said to Xiao Zhang.

"That...... I have a pollen allergy that causes my asthma. So I didn't dare to go into the florist. Xiao Zhang said with an embarrassed face.

Seeing that Xiao Zhang began to cringe again, Katu didn't think much about it, and got out of the car directly, ready to go into the flower shop to find out, and by the way, he also asked Lloyd for advice, so that he could buy flowers and give them to Zixi when the time came.

Inside the flower shop――

Both Lloyd and the old lady were laughing because the old lady had just told her wife something about it.

"You're so happy, what about your wife? And where did your godson go? Lloyd finally found an opportunity to get into the conversation peacefully.

The old lady was no longer wary, but at this time her wrinkled face could still see that she was frowning. His expression looked sad, and his eyes gradually became hollow.

"They disappeared together one day a few years ago. I haven't seen them since! I can't find them either! They're so ruthless! I don't know why! The old lady said tremblingly, very excited, as if she had a deep complaint about these two important people who did not say goodbye, and then shed tears of longing.

"Maybe they're going to give you an even bigger surprise? Like a bigger and better florist! Lloyd said comfortingly, because he already knew the whereabouts of the two missing men.

After hearing what Lloyd said, the old lady was excited, grabbed Lloyd's hand, and asked tremblingly, "Is what you said true!?" ”

Lloyd looked at the old lady with a smile and said to her very seriously: "It's true! ”

The old lady happily went back and picked up the sweater that had not yet been knitted, and muttered to herself, "Then I have to hurry up and finish knitting!" ”

"Can I see your family photos?" Again, Lloyd asks a question that strangers shouldn't ask.

"Ahh Family portrait yes? Wait a minute, I'll show you! The old lady got up and went to the back room to look for the family portrait.

Lloyd looked at the old lady's faltering back and couldn't help but sigh......
