Smells

Chapter 13 Rose Tickets

Ye Minxing stretched Yu Ying's collar and looked up at him: "He came back because of your father, isn't he on vacation, otherwise I would have to stay abroad for a few months."

Yu Ying joked: "I really envy other people's parental love."

"Go." Ye Minxing smiled and patted his arm.

Xing Zhun walked towards them: "Are you back?"

"Ah, I'm back, Xiaoxing, have you changed your hairstyle? It's so pretty and cool."

Before Xingzhun, he had beautiful long hair. Not long ago, he had short hair cut to the ears, and he was heroic and refreshing.

"Thank you." Xing Zhun smiled.

Ye Minxing noticed that the room was full of people, raised her red lips and smiled: "Is it so lively?" She looked around and asked Yu Ying, "Where's Jiang Yan, baby?"

"At school."

"Is he starting school?" Ye Minxing counted the days. She has been wandering abroad for more than three months. She went there at the beginning of summer and came back in autumn. Even the license was recruited during her travels abroad. came in.

Ye Minxing had been running "Buyu" before, and it was handed over to Yu Ying half a year ago. Before marrying Yu Ying's father, Ye Minxing was the daughter of the richest man in the city, and the rich second generation of their time.She has never worked since she got married. She is a full-time wife with a delicate life. She was spoiled by Yu Ying's father and still has a bit of princess disease. After Yu Ying graduated from university, she set up this flower art studio near the university town.

When Ye Minxing was young, he would be a veritable Bai Fumei. Back then, there were too many prominent families who wanted to marry the Ye family, but Ye Minxing only fell in love with Yu Ying's father.Yu Ying's father was a soldier, no matter his family background or personality experience, he was quite different from Ye Minxing. Their marriage was considered a sensation in their time.

Ye Minxing has no job, and since handing over the studio to Yu Ying, she often travels abroad. Unless Yu Ying's father is at home on vacation, she will travel around the world and enjoy life wantonly.

"I seem to have seen a new face." Ye Minxing looked at Li Ke with a smile, "Little beauty, are you new here?"

Xu Ke walked over and shook Ye Minxing's hand: "Hello, Auntie, I'm Xu Ke, a new apprentice florist."

"My name is Ye Minxing." Ye Minxing shook his hand back.

Xu Ke was a little dizzy, but felt the hand holding her was soft and warm, and the pleasant smell of perfume filled his nostrils.

Ye Minxing noticed Xiao Chen over there, but thought it was a customer, so he didn't ask any more questions. Yu Ying took the initiative to introduce: "Mom, this is my friend, Xiao Chen."

Xiao Chen got up and bowed his body: "Hello."

"Hello." Ye Minxing nodded, turned his head close to Yu Ying's ear, and asked in a low voice, "What friend? Boyfriend?"

"What are you talking about?" Yu Ying glanced at her, "Ordinary friends."

Ye Minxing's voice was very low: "You're handsome, I thought you were finally promising and knew how to find someone. How is it? Do you like this one? Mom will show you the way?"

"Mom, hurry up and go home and rest to beat the jet lag." Yu Ying couldn't laugh or cry, and pushed her out, "I'll take you back."

"Hey, I'm serious." Ye Minxing turned his head and said, "It doesn't matter if you're not interested, I even found you—"

"You stop the meeting, which mother-in-law or aunt brainwashed you again? Let's go, I will take you home."

"Hey, no need, the driver is outside..."

When Yu Ying sent Ye Minxing to the car, Xiao Chen looked down at his watch, it was getting late.He thought about it, and felt that it would be inappropriate to leave empty-handed, but it would be a waste of resources to buy a large bouquet of flowers, so he asked Xing Zhun: "Can we sell single flowers here? One."

"OK."

"any recommended?"

Xing Zhun waved his hand and scanned the shelves: "You can see for yourself."

Xiao Chen caught sight of a cluster of gray-pink roses, which seemed to come out of an oil painting. He liked this low-saturation tone, which was secretive and gentle.He asked Xing Zhun: "Is this a rose? What kind?"

"It's a rose, it's called Menta."

"It's beautiful, get me one."

"Need packing?"

Xiao Chen shook his head: "No need."

Xing Zhun took one out of the vase, cut off the remaining leaves with scissors, and handed it to Xiao Chen without any treatment.

Xiao Chen didn't answer, Xing Zhun raised his eyebrows, and asked understandingly: "It's the same flower recipient again?"

Xiao Chen looked at her and hummed.

"The flower receiver is here, I think it would be more appropriate for you to hand it over to him." Xing Zhun handed Menta to Xiao Chen.

At the same time, Yu Ying happened to come back.

Xiao Chen walked towards him holding the gray-pink rose.

"Leave?" Yu Ying asked him.

"Well, there are still some pictures to be changed."

Yu Ying glanced at the rose in his hand, and said with a smile, "Why did you buy a flower?"

"Isn't today your meeting?" Xiao Chen handed him the rose, "This is my ticket."

Yu Ying was taken aback, but before he could speak, Xiao Chen had already stuffed the flowers into his hands: "I'll go first, goodbye."

This is a gray rose, very similar to Xiao Chen, with a low-key tenderness and romance.

As the days of paid vacation and travel approached, Xiao Chen didn't have much work on hand, only a few drawings that needed to be reviewed and finalized by him.

It was past nine o'clock after the blueprint was revised, and he forgot to eat in a hurry. Xiao Chen went into the kitchen and looked through the refrigerator, and found a bag of glutinous rice balls stuffed with sesame seeds.

I can only make do with it.

Xiao Chen boiled half a pot of water, and leaned on the cooking table to wait for the water to boil.

The phone rang, and it was Xiang Lin calling.

"Hello?" Xiao Chen answered the phone and opened the package of glutinous rice balls with one hand.

"Have you eaten?"

"Not yet." Xiao Chen poured the glutinous rice balls into the pot, the boiling water splashed everywhere, and the glutinous rice balls made a "gurgling" sound when they rolled down.

Listening to the movement, Xiang Lin clicked her tongue: "Eating fast food again? It's not that you can't cook, can you stop being so careless, your stomach should be ruined."

"One is too lazy to cook."

"Then find someone else when you have a chance." Xiang Lin said, "I've been on a business trip abroad before, and I haven't come to pick up my things since I left them in your place. I might come over to clean them up in the next two days."

"it is good."

"Then... go to bed early after eating, good night."

"Good night."

"Pay attention to your diet."

"Yeah. I know."

The glutinous rice balls had boiled and floated up, so Xiao Chen turned off the fire and took out the glutinous rice balls with a colander.Holding a bowl of hot glutinous rice balls, he sat at the dining table and started eating.

The phone vibrated, Xiao Chen picked it up and took a look, it was Jiang Xiaosheng's WeChat message.

Jiang Xiaosheng: Boss, where is your friend's identity information?I want to report to you.

Xiao Chen put down his spoon and typed a reply: Wait a minute, let me ask

He clicked on Yu Ying's WeChat avatar and asked: Are you there?

Yu Ying: in

Xiao Chen: Would it be convenient for me to give you your identity information?Before you said that you wanted to travel to Tibet with me, our company had to report your identity information.

Yu Ying directly sent a frontal photo of her ID card.

Xiao Chen clicked on the picture and took a look.

The facial features of the person in the photo are tough, but there is childishness between the eyebrows and eyes. It should be a photo taken in college.

When he was in college, he was a little darker than now, with a healthy wheat-colored complexion.

Xiao Chen: You just showed me your ID card, are you not afraid that I will reveal your privacy?

Yu Ying: Haha, who can you leak it to?

Xiao Chen thought to himself: Leak it to myself.

However, it was a bit teasing to say this, and it seemed not reserved, and it was not appropriate for him and Yu Ying to say such a relationship at the moment.

Xiao Chen sent Jiang Xiaosheng Yu Ying's name and ID number.

Xiao Chen waited for Yu Ying to mention today's Menta rose, but the other party never mentioned it.

Either I was afraid of embarrassment and avoided talking on purpose, or I was indifferent and felt that I had nothing to say.Regardless of whether Yu Ying is straight or crooked, this situation can only explain one point - he doesn't have any special thoughts, and as for avoiding talking about it, it should be just his demeanor in dealing with people.

Yu Ying: Why didn't I see you in the flower art class last Saturday?Dropped school so soon?

Xiao Chen: I didn’t drop out of school, I’m a bit busy with work, so I don’t have time to go

Yu Ying: What about this Saturday?

Xiao Chen: Go.

Yu Ying: See you then.

Xiao Chen: Yes.

On Saturday, Xiang Lin happened to come to the house to pack things.That day, because the flower art teacher had something to do in the afternoon, the class was scheduled for the morning. Xiao Chen woke up early and was brushing his teeth in the bathroom when he heard the sound of the password door being unlocked outside the door.

"Hey, you haven't changed your password yet?" Xiang Lin's voice echoed in the living room.

Xiang Lin has lived here for two years, and walked into the bathroom familiarly: "Are you working overtime today?"

When he and Xiang Lin were husband and wife, Xiao Chen paid great attention to avoiding suspicion, and would dress neatly at home. After the divorce, he was not so particular about it. He walked around the house shirtless, and this time he was washing his shirt shirtless.

"Oh, let me go, why aren't you wearing any clothes?" Xiang Lin subconsciously exited the bathroom, and then laughed at herself: "I'm so old, why am I still acting like a little girl..."

Xiang Lin went into the bedroom and got a jacket for Xiao Chen, went back to the bathroom, and handed the clothes to him: "It's already October, isn't it cold to be shirtless?"

"It's okay." Xiao Chen put on his clothes.

Xiang Lin leaned on the door frame: "Old Xiao, I think you have become handsome."

Xiao Chen glanced at her.

"Really, why does it feel like I haven't seen you for a few days, it seems to have become sexier."

Xiao Chen laughed: "Is it a bit like when you were in college?"

"That's not true. It's sexier than the one in college." Xiang Lin said, "You were quite tender when you were in college, and you looked smaller. It's not the same temperament as you are now."

Xiao Chen walked out of the bathroom and was about to go to the bedroom to change clothes. He said, "I haven't moved your things, so you can tidy up slowly. Do you want help? I'll find you a mover."

"No, I'll just take a few things, and you can throw away the rest." Xiang Lin walked into the kitchen, "Are you working overtime today? Haven't had breakfast yet, I'll make some for you."

"No overtime, I'll go to class." Xiao Chen's voice gradually became weaker.

"Class?" Xiang Lin opened the refrigerator and shouted, "Why is there nothing in your broken refrigerator!"

When Xiao Chen came out of the bedroom, he had already changed into a beige mid-length trench coat, and Xiang Lin was frying poached eggs.

"What class are you attending?" Xiang Lin turned her head, her eyes lit up: "You look so handsome?"

"Handsome?" Xiao Chen looked at his clothes uncertainly. This dress was last year. His aunt bought it for him and he only wore it a few times.

"You look handsome even in a sack, and your looks are on your shoulders. What kind of class do you take? You look so good-looking. I regret divorcing you. You can still show off that you have such a handsome husband."

"Flower class."

"Ah?" Xiang Lin's voice changed, as if she couldn't believe it.

Xiao Chen's phone vibrated, and Yu Ying sent him a WeChat message.

Yu Ying: Brother, have you set off yet?

Xiao Chen: Not yet, I just finished washing.

Yu Ying: Want to pick you up?I passed by your neighborhood

Xiao Chen was taken aback for a moment.

Yu Ying: Brother?

Xiao Chen: Okay, sorry to trouble you.

Yu Ying: Then you wait for me, I will be there in 2 minutes.

"There's nothing in the refrigerator, just two eggs." Xiang Lin put the finished sandwich on the dining table, "I made a sandwich for you, let's make do with it."

"Thank you." Xiao Chen took a bite of the sandwich and asked, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

"Eat it. Do you want to do it? I see there is still half a carton of milk in the refrigerator. Pour you a glass?"

Xiao Chen swallowed the sandwich and said, "That expired."

Xiang Lin rolled her eyes: "When you lived with me in the past, you were very kind to me? You would cook brunch even if you had time, and I was suddenly moved."

Xiang Lin rolled her eyelids with her fingers, pretending to be crying.

"When you get married, you have to fulfill your obligation of marriage." Xiao Chen said.

Xiang Lin said with a straight face: "Don't say such things, I don't like to hear them."

Xiang Lin didn't like to hear these words, gentle and unfeeling. It sounded like Xiao Chen had never had feelings for her. Marriage was just to fulfill his duty, and being nice to her was also to fulfill a husband's due responsibility.

Although it is true.

The doorbell rang, and Xiang Lin stood up: "Who came to see you so early?"

"friend."

Xiang Lin went to open the door.

The moment the door opened, Yu Ying was taken aback, thinking that he had gone to the wrong door, he checked the house number, and then realized who it was in front of him.

Yu Ying said, "Hi, I'm looking for Mr. Xiao Chen."

"Yu Ying." Xiao Chen called out from inside the room.

Yu Ying raised her gaze and saw Xiao Chen waving at him over Xiang Lin's shoulder.

He was wearing a beige gray windbreaker, the same low-saturation tone as always, deep and soft, with a tall and straight figure, like a snow-fallen pine tree.
