Chapter 113: The Girl, in Mom’s Eyes
The taxi stopped at Lishui Street.
Jiangcheng had adorned this long street, lining it with countless flowers of various colors, forming a flower corridor that stretched from north to south. Even before entering, one could smell the fragrance of flowers.
At the entrance, the tourists were bustling.
Fu Chengque looked around but didn’t see Xiao Gua and the other two. Instead, her eyes were captivated by the sea of flowers.
Just as she was about to recite a poem to express her feelings, she suddenly remembered that reciting poetry next to Wen Yu would definitely invite merciless ridicule—he was someone who could come up with fake poetry that sounded real with just a few words!
Yes, he would mock me!
Wen Yu would think Chengque is silly!
Wen Yu would think she’s shouting nonsense again, embarrassing herself!
Wen Yu would even think, “Why did I go out with this person!”
Thinking of all this, Fu Chengque strangely felt no anger but instead a happy expression.
Just do it like this!
Beside Wen Yu’s ear, voices were clamorous, some shouting loudly, some laughing heartily, and some even started reciting poetry—
“Suddenly, like a spring breeze overnight, thousands of flowers bloomed!”
At a glance, it turned out to be Fu Chengque.
The girl who finished reciting the poem had a gleam in her eyes, and she was looking at him with excitement, her joyful expression even more radiant than the flowers around her.
This expression seemed to be saying something to him—
Understood!
She’s inviting him!
Last time, she was impressed by the nonsense poem he casually made up during their leisure time. Today, she’s doing the same thing, undoubtedly, seeing his interest in the scenery at the moment, she’s inviting him to have fun!
Just like last time, let’s have a joyous and carefree time together!
Xiao Qingmei, you’re really considerate!
Unable to refuse, after pondering for a moment, he also exclaimed loudly, “Yearning overnight, plum blossoms bloom, bloom, bloom?!”
“Huh?!”
Fu Chengque was dumbfounded on the spot.
Looking at Wen Yu’s inquiring eyes, she was at a loss for words for a moment!
What is he saying!
Why can’t she understand what he’s saying!
What’s with all this yearning and blooming, what nonsense is this!
This, this…
The two were shouting so loudly, and there were many people around. When the words fell, more than a dozen pairs of eyes all gathered on them.
Fu Chengque didn’t think much after shouting herself, but now Wen Yu was joining in, which made her blush with embarrassment.
She kicked Wen Yu angrily and scolded, “What nonsense are you talking about! What are you saying?!”
Wen Yu said, “I’m playing with you!”
The people around immediately showed understanding expressions.
Among them, there were even girls using this opportunity to scold their boyfriends, “Look at other people’s boyfriends, they know how to play along, and you always call me a fool!”
Fu Chengque was even more embarrassed and angry. Her pretty face was even redder than the nearby beautiful peonies.
In the crowd, there suddenly came familiar laughter, “Hahaha,” and when Wen Yu and Fu Chengque looked over, it turned out to be Xiao Gua and Fang Ling nestled in the crowd, hugging each other and laughing endlessly, while Lu Min stood beside them, looking helpless.
Obviously, the three of them were also watching the whole scene.
Fu Chengque’s embarrassment and anger resurfaced. She rushed over, grabbing one each, and hugged them tightly, threateningly saying, “Stop laughing! Stop laughing!”
Xiao Gua and Fang Ling, laughing and crying, begged for mercy, “We were wrong, we won’t laugh anymore!!”
But as soon as Fu Chengque let go, when their eyes met, they burst into laughter again…
Now Fu Chengque was helpless.
After waiting for a while, the two finally calmed down their emotions, tacitly avoiding mentioning Fu Chengque’s sore spots. Then, the group leisurely began to visit the exhibition and admire the flowers.
Fu Chengque’s expedition was unsuccessful, she lost face, didn’t complete the task, and felt a sense of loss in her heart.
For this flower show, Jiangcheng prepared tens of thousands of various flowers, covering the ground with colors, some tall enough to reach overhead.
Walking along the long street, it felt like strolling in a deep sea of flowers. Fu Chengque kept exclaiming along the way, becoming an exclamation machine.
Lost in the flowers for a long time, she finally snapped out of it, remembering her task.
Looking ahead, Xiao Gua and the others were also exclaiming and looking around, each at a distance from each other. Looking back, Wen Yu was trailing behind, always checking the introductions on the cards after looking at the flowers.
Fu Chengque slowed down, waiting for Wen Yu to catch up, and walked alongside him.
Come on, let’s make our clever Empress’s brain turn a little more and capture Wen Yu now!
Wen Yu, the flowers, they’re beautiful, you like them, right?
Wen Yu, the flowers, they’re not good-looking, you don’t like them, right?
Madam is blocking both paths today, let’s see where you’re going!
Unless, you have no thoughts at all!
The girl took two steps forward, pointing at a flower and said, “Mr. Wen, this flower looks like a butterfly, so beautiful!”
Anyone would immediately think, “Yes, indeed, it looks like a butterfly, very beautiful,” right?
Conversely, they would think it’s not good-looking, right? There couldn’t be any other thoughts, right?!
After asking, Fu Chengque stared straight at Wen Yu.
Instead of a prompt indicating the task was completed, she heard him slowly say, “This is a pansy, it’s edible.”
“…Edible!”
Ah, ah, ah!
Wen Yu, don’t you have any other thoughts?
Apart from it being edible, nothing else? Not good-looking or not ugly? Neither like nor dislike?
Fu Chengque held her head in her hands, stunned. She suddenly realized—Wen Yu had no thoughts, and this was likely the biggest obstacle to completing her task.
She didn’t give up, and along the way, she tried with several flowers, but the system still didn’t respond.
So the biggest problem must be: Wen Yu had absolutely no thoughts about the flowers!
The girl, in a dilemma.
Not far away, Xiao Gua and the others gathered together and waved at her. Beside them was a stall selling sausages.
Fu Chengque had a sudden inspiration.
After walking for a while, shouldn’t they be hungry?
When everyone’s hungry and passes by the enticing aroma of a sausage stand, what would they think?
“I’m hungry, I’m craving, it smells so good, should I buy one? But it’s expensive!”
Such thoughts, though simple, would definitely occur in an instant, right?!
Who wouldn’t have them?!
Absolutely no one!
Wow haha—oh my god, how brilliant is Empress Chengque’s mind, she actually found a simple yet seamless solution in such a short time!
Fu Chengque’s heart swelled rapidly, feeling delighted, and she gracefully moved closer to Wen Yu—
Actually, she didn’t need to say or do anything, just sift through those thoughts like a sieve continuously.
Then, wait for Wen Yu to walk towards the sausage stand. As soon as he smells the fragrance, the task can be completed instantly!
What’s this called?
This is called strategic planning and brilliant tactics!
Hehe.
At this moment, Wen Yu happened to look up, his gaze shifting away from the flowers and forward.
He also saw Xiao Gua and the others gathered together, chatting away. Looking beside them, there was a stall selling sausages.
