One or two months had passed unknowingly. Su Xu was still busy, and the jewelry fair was held as scheduled. Yuan Zhao had also given the second phase of the money to Hcpaar, thus the bank loan had been repaid. Now, Hcpaar just doesn't have to lose money, so it's going to take a while to talk about high profit returns.

At noon, as Su Xu was preparing to pack up and go downstairs to eat, a staff member of a florist's shop brought over a bunch of flowers.

A light, purplish-blue, simple yet elegant flower was emitting a clear fragrance.

The assistant and a few staff members ran over to the flowers and looked left and right, clicking their tongues in wonder. "What beautiful flowers! They are so gentle that they make people's hearts soft! But what's their name?"

The others shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.

"The cornflowers." She flipped over the bouquet, but there was no card on it either, so she didn't know who had given it to her.

"What a strange name. Chasing down a girl and giving her this kind of flower, is really different from the norm. " The assistant looked at Su Xu with a smile, "Manager, we are so jealous."

"Alright, let's go out and eat. We still have some work to do in the afternoon." Su Xu smiled and casually placed the flowers on the table.

Actually, her heart was slightly moved. This flower was also known as' Blue Hibiscus'.

When she was young, the spring was still very cold. Near her dilapidated house was an open space for building materials, and that was the spring when a cornflower grew there, tiny and windy, its dreamy colors beautiful and serene.

Su Xu fell in love with the flower the first time she saw it. Until now, the beautiful scene of swaying flowers was firmly planted in her mind.

The flowers continued to bloom for several days. This caused the people in the office to yell.

After work, Su Xu suddenly wanted to walk back to her apartment, since it wasn't too late anyway. Along the way, she looked at the endless stream of people and the colorful neon lights, then looked down at the bouquets in her arms, unexpectedly having a feeling of serenity and indifference.

When she got back to the apartment, she took a shower and sat on the bed, hugging the soft quilt. Su Xu held a commercial-type book and read it. Although the content was boring, it was very useful. She patiently flipped through the pages one by one. Occasionally she would glance at the cornflowers in the bedroom, and for a few seconds she would look at them, a smile that she did not even know was plastered on her lips.

There were so many flowers. She bought a few clear glass bottles and placed them in the living room and bedroom. The room was very elegant all of a sudden.

Just when she was looking at the flowers, her phone rang. Su Xu curiously picked it up. It was an unfamiliar number. Who could it be this late at night?

A low voice said, "It's me."

She was stunned for a moment before reacting. "En."

"Long time no see."

Hearing Qin Zheng's words, Su Xu realized that she had not seen him for almost a month. Ever since their relationship had been confirmed, it seemed that they hadn't been that long; if Qin Zheng didn't come, she would never take the initiative to look for him. They were originally people who comforted each other, and since they didn't have any emotional entanglements, she might as well let it go.

"I suddenly miss you." The voice was a little hoarse, but at the moment, it sounded very gentle. "Have you gone to sleep?"

"Su Xu looked up. It was almost midnight, but she didn't know it was so late." I was just about to go to sleep.

"Since you're still awake, come out and open the door. I want to see you." The man on the other end of the phone laughed softly. After a while, he said something and hung up.

Su Xu listened for a long time before realizing what Qin Zheng's words meant. She then put on her clothes and got off the bed.

The moment she opened the door, she saw Qin Zheng sitting on the stairs like a lazy cat, following the sensor lights in the corridor.

Qin Zheng raised his dark blue eyes to look at her and gently smiled. Under the orange light, Su Fu felt that this smile carried tiredness.

Su Xu stepped back to the side of the door, stretched out her hand towards Qin Zheng and said softly, "Are you not coming in?"

His gaze turned towards Su Xu's fair palm. His eyes seemed to brighten a lot as he held it for a split-second. He stood up and followed Su Xu through the door.

Just as Su Fu closed the door, his body was hugged by someone. Qin Zheng's kiss was so powerful that it could topple mountains and overturn the seas.

Su Xu felt that Qin Zheng had instantly turned from a cat into a small beast, growling and hoarsely at her.

From the living room to the bedroom, from the wall to the bed, Qin Zheng kept asking for Su Xu, repeatedly pestering her not to sleep.

When he woke up, the sun was already shining brightly. Her mind was racing. It must be around ten o'clock, she thought. Let's just lie down a little bit more, Hcpaar will go later, since it's already this hour.

She lazily stretched out her arms and mumbled a few times before slowly opening her eyes.

Su Xu was frightened. Qin Zheng just sat on the edge of the bed leisurely. It was unknown how long he had been sitting for. She had never encountered such a situation. He had always left before she woke up. Everything between him and her could only take place in the darkness. It was as if they were in a dream, disappearing without a trace as soon as they saw the light.

He was looking at her, a look of disbelief deep in his eyes. Seeing that she had woken up, he got up, went into the hall and closed the bedroom door for her.

After a while, he got out of bed, thinking he must have left. When she finished, she went into the living room and found him still there. The television was on, broadcasting the financial news of Phoenix Television.

She looked at Qin Zheng but did not say anything. She turned around and entered the kitchen. There weren't any dishes in the fridge either. She hastily made some and it was done in less than half an hour.

A hot and sour potato, a tomato soup, and a steamed fish.

He turned off the TV and helped carry it out and put it on the table. He did not speak and she did not speak. She only ate quietly. He removed the head from the fish and slowly pulled out the fish eye. He slowly handed the fish eye over and gently placed it into her bowl.

She raised her head and glanced at him. He didn't seem to have any differences. He was only interested in eating. Perhaps he was hungry, but he was actually wolfing down food like a wolf.

He cleaned up the tableware one by one.

Su Xu took out her laptop to organize the documents inside.

Qin Zheng walked to her side and looked at her for a long time. After a long time, his lips curled into a smile as he said, "Do you want to go for a walk?"

Su Xu paused, leaned back on the sofa and also smiled: "No need, I'm too lazy to go out."

She did not want her acquaintances to see her with a man. After all, it was hard to explain such a relationship. Moreover, in this era, everyone was being tempered by society. How could they not see the ambiguous relationship between the two of them?

Qin Zheng shrugged his shoulders. He didn't mind. He took out a small box from his pocket and placed it beside her. Then, he also snuggled into the sofa and watched the television.

She picked it up, amused by the sign "Yuanzhao," and opened it to find a platinum bracelet.

She held it up with both hands and was surprised. It was a chain made of cornflower, and the silver chain had the design of a cornflower hanging from it. It was very exquisite, and even the flower petals were engraved with a very beautiful design.

Qin Zheng took the chain from her hand and pulled up her left hand, gently putting it on her.

Her fair skin and silver bracelet were so fitting.

"Flower, was it also given by you?" He raised his hand and looked at the chain. Under the sunlight, it was a beautiful scene to behold.

"Yes."

"I like it." Su Xu Qi said lightly.

"It's good that you like it."

The two of them did not speak any further. The man was reading a magazine and Su Xu was reading a computer. The room was quiet.

Only the flowers in the vase and the chain on her hand glowed.
