The hand holding Zhou Ran's little arm was very gentle, leading her forward step by step. The crisp smell lingered around the tip of her nose, and when the person was closer to her, the taste became clearer.

After a few more minutes, the smell is not just coming out of the man's cuffs, but is so strong that it seems that the whole person is wrapped in this fragrant but not stuffy, refreshing smell.

Some of the floral fragrances smell good at first, but after smelling them, they feel that they are unusual, but they are not good. And this smell is not like ordinary floral fragrance, which is so strong that it makes people dizzy, but it makes people obsessed and greedy, and wants to feel closer.

"What does it smell like?" Zhou Ran stopped and sniffed deeply.

"It's the floral scent of magnolia."

The man standing on her left looked at her fluttering nose and smiled silently, "Four meters ahead of where you are standing, there is a magnolia tree, with sparse branches and leaves, and it is in full bloom." ”

"Magnolia, ............" Zhou Ran raised his feet following the taste. It seems that this kind of flower was mentioned in Qu Yuan's "Lisao" in ancient times, drinking magnolia in the morning and falling in the morning, and autumn chrysanthemum in the evening.

"Watch your step." Before her feet hit the ground, the person next to her reminded her, "There are steps." ”

As he helped her down the steps, he said to her, "My mother was very fond of the magnolia, and when she was a child, she planted one in her family and took care of it every day, and after my mother died, I transplanted it into my yard and fertilized and pruned it every day on my mother's behalf." ”

"In ancient times, people often used magnolia as a metaphor for people's character, which was first planted in the temple, pure and elegant, quiet and silent." Zhou Ran bent his lips shallowly, turned his head to the people around him, and said, "Your mother should be a woman with a cold personality and a noble character." ”

The slim girl standing under the white magnolia tree tastes the peerless color and restores the posture of the city; The eyebrows are like green feathers, and the muscles are like snow; It is more dazzling than the white magnolia with full branches.

The man looked at her flawless cheeks and rouge-like lips under the black cloth, and smiled slightly on her pale face, but did not answer.

―――――――――――――――

This position happened to be able to see the independent magnolia in the courtyard, and the girl by the window sat quietly at the low table, listening to the sound of the man making tea.

When I looked down, I smelled another smell that was completely different from the magnolia.

"Mr. likes to raise flowers?"

The man who was making tea looked at the narcissus on the table, took out the washed teacup and put it in front of her, lifted the purple sand teapot and poured her half a cup, "My mother likes magnolias, and I especially love narcissus." ”

Borrowing water to bloom is a strange thing, and the water sinks into the bone and jade for the muscle. Although Narcissus is known as the Limbo Fairy, most people can associate the word "narcissism" more, and Zhou Ran is no exception.

"If I'm not mistaken, Sir made two cups of tea, right?" She smiled and put her tied hands on the table, "Can you help me untie them?" ”

Hearing this, the man glanced at her wrist, which was red from the rope, put down the teapot in his hand, and raised his hand to untie the rope on her wrist without the slightest hesitation.

"Don't you have to think about it, sir? What if I run away after you untie it for me? He didn't even hesitate for a moment, so he untied the rope for her, and Zhou Ran moved his wrist and chuckled.

"If you want to escape, you don't need me to help you untie it, you just need to bow your head and you can untie it yourself."

The man's eyes reflected her smile, and he smiled a little, his fingertips rubbing the white magnolia dark lines on the cuffs of his clothes. After all, the desire to survive can also stimulate people's unknown potential, and it doesn't seem to be difficult, it's just easy, isn't it?
