"How do you know I'm not a 'big fish'?" The man looked at the young girl in front of him with interest.
She has a small face, with light makeup, fair and delicate skin, delicate facial features, big and bright eyes, and long hair dyed dark brown. She is surprisingly beautiful.
She was quite tall, wearing a pink and purple thick-knit sweater, dark camel-colored tweed trousers and black leather shoes. Neither the sweater nor the trousers were slim-fitting, but she still had a slim figure.
Zhan Xi replied: "You are definitely not."
She couldn't give a specific reason, but when she received the call and saw the man for the first time, she was sure that he was not Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu would never have that kind of look, nor would she smile like that. Although she had never seen Xiaoyu, she just knew it!
"Why?" The man seemed confused. "Can't I just pretend to be unfamiliar with you and call you?"
Seeing Zhan Xi's expression becoming increasingly cold, the man didn't dare tease her anymore. "I'm sorry, I'm really not 'Big Fish'. My name is Fang Xu, the Xu of the rising sun. In fact, we've talked before. The one on the Q station is me."
It turned out to be the boss who opened his mouth with the word "dear".
"Oh, then... why doesn't 'Big Fish' come?" This was the only question Zhan Xi cared about.
Fang Xu said: "Xiaoyu had something urgent to do, so let me apologize to you on his behalf."
Zhan Xi asked: "Why didn't he tell me in advance? Why didn't he say it himself?"
"This..." Fang Xu scratched his head, "I don't know."
Zhan Xi lowered his eyes and pouted. Fang Xu felt embarrassed and pointed at the flower pot on the coffee table and asked, "Uh... Miss Zhan, take a look. Is there any problem with this flower? If there is a problem, we can adjust the shape. If there is no problem, please sign for it."
Zhan Xi's eyes fell on the potted flower and he said coldly, "No problem, it's fine."
"This is more than just pretty good, isn't it?" Fang Xu felt that the other party was a layman after all. "This is a masterpiece! You can tell that Xiaoyu put a lot of effort into it! If your boss gives it to someone, he will definitely like it. This flower can be preserved forever!"
Zhan Xi said listlessly: "Oh, thank you."
Fang Xu looked at her and continued, "This flower needs to be maintained. Remember not to touch water because it contains dye and the color will fade if it touches water. All petals and leaves have a film formed by setting liquid. If they are stained with dust, either blow them away or brush them with a small brush. When you are not viewing them, you can store them in a cabinet or box."
Zhan Xi nodded: "I understand."
Seeing that she was not in high spirits, Fang Xu said hesitantly: "Then if you think it's okay, just pay the balance."
"Okay." Zhan Xi took out his mobile phone and paid the balance on the spot.
Fang Xu received the money and took a sealed large paper bag from the sofa and handed it to Zhan Xi: "Miss Zhan, this is what Xiaoyu asked me to bring to you."
Zhan Xi took the bag and weighed it. It was actually quite heavy. He didn't know what it was. He said softly, "Thank you."
She also had a paper bag in her hand. After thinking for a while, she gave it to Fang Xu: "This is for Xiaoyu. Please give it to him too."
Fang Xu: “???”
He thought, what's going on? Luo Xiaoyu is really good at flirting, isn't she? After a week of making flowers, these two have already developed to the stage of giving each other gifts? He has been in this business for so many years, why is he not lucky enough to meet such a cute and beautiful female client
Fang Xu took the paper bag: "Okay, I'll bring it to him later."
Nothing happened. Zhan Xi bent down, picked up the flower pot and prepared to go upstairs: "Thank you for making the trip. I'm going upstairs now. Bye."
"Bye, we'll work together again if there's a chance." Fang Xu smiled at her and watched her walk into the elevator.
Zhan Xi returned to the company holding the flowers and went straight to Wen Qin's office. Along the way, colleagues saw the flowers in her arms. Yuan Sichen exclaimed: "Wow, so beautiful! Is this the gift for that Japanese man?"
The "Good Luck" flower was placed on Wenqin's desk. Several girls from HR came in to admire it. Wenqin looked the flower up and down and exclaimed, "It's so beautiful! It looks like a real flower. How was it made?"
She touched the petals of the lily with her hand: "It's hard!"
"It's made of cloth, ironed and shaped, so it's a bit hard," Zhan Xi explained.
"Very good!" Wenqin was very satisfied. She stood up, picked up the flowerpot and said to her subordinates, "Don't look at it anymore. I'll give it to Mr. Sun. Xiaozhan, you have completed your mission very well! This gift is very classy!"
Zhan Xi smiled: "I hope Mr. Sun will be satisfied too."
After she told Wenqin the maintenance matters of hot stamping, everyone dispersed and Zhanxi returned to his workstation before opening the paper bag.
There was a small box in the paper bag. When I opened the lid, there was a embossed flower brooch inside.
Zhan Xi had seen this brooch in the online store "Xiao Yu Yu Handmade Embossed Flowers". The blue forget-me-not was paired with light green hydrangeas and a circle of sparkling white freshwater pearls. It was elegant and generous, and the price was over five hundred yuan.
After closing the lid of the box, Zhan Xi took out a larger black box from the bag. After opening it, she was stunned.
Inside the box was a familiar glass bottle with a silver ribbon tied around it. In the bottle was a sunflower lily, with a small lily bud of the same color next to it.
Zhan Xi took out a palm-sized card from the bottom of the box. It read:
Egg teacher:
I wish you good health and a happy smile.
—Little Fish
His handwriting was not beautiful, but it was not ugly either. Each word was written neatly, which reminded Zhan Xi of a cute primary school student. Next to the "little fish", he also drew a cartoon whale with splashes of water.
Zhan Xi looked at the lily again. It was her first permed flower. The depression in her heart eased a lot, but she was still not happy.
He picked up his phone and saw that "What a Big Fish" had not sent him any message until now. Zhan Xi originally wanted to say thank you to him, but then he changed the idea.
He was wrong first, why should she speak first? Just ignore him, hum!

At this time, Luo Jingyu was sleeping soundly with the quilt rolled up.
The night before, he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep until dawn. In the morning, he had dark circles under his eyes and had an ideological struggle for several hours facing the pot of flowers. Finally, he gave in and sent a WeChat message to Fang Xu to come over at noon.
When Fang Xu arrived, he was full of questions. He asked why Luo Jingyu didn't go to see him off when she was so close, but insisted on asking him to drive all the way from the city to see him off? !
Luo Jingyu typed on her mobile phone for him to see: It’s raining, so the embossing should not come into contact with water.
That made sense, Fang Xu accepted it, picked up the flowers and was about to leave.
However, Luo Jingyu grabbed his arm, pursed her lips and handed him a bag of things, and typed for him to see: This is for Miss Zhan, I owe her for helping me, don’t tell her that I can’t hear you, please.
After Fang Xu finished reading the line of words on his phone, he looked up at Luo Jingyu and found that the 26-year-old boy was blushing.
Something is happening!
"I understand. Don't worry." Fang Xu didn't ask any more questions. He spoke clearly to Luo Jingyu and left his house.
After Fang Xu left, Luo Jingyu's tense nerves relaxed a little. The sleepiness after a sleepless night finally came over him. He climbed onto the bed and fell asleep quickly.
She was sleeping soundly when a light suddenly came on in the dark room. Luo Jingyu opened her eyes sharply and found that a small light bulb on the wall beside the bed was on.
This is his own "doorbell". There is a small light bulb like this in every room in the house. As long as someone rings the doorbell, all the light bulbs will light up, and Luo Jingyu will notice it no matter which room she is in.
He put on his pajamas and went to open the door, his hair standing up in a mess, wondering who would come at this time.
Fang Xu said that he would go back directly after delivering the flowers, so when Luo Jingyu opened the door and saw that it was Fang Xu who had returned, she was stunned for a moment.
"I'm not coming in." Fang Xu handed him the paper bag. "Miss Zhan asked me to bring it to you. I haven't read it, so I don't know what's in it."
Luo Jingyu: “…”
He took the bag blankly. Fang Xu said, "She accepted the flowers and was very satisfied, but she didn't seem very happy to see that it wasn't you who delivered them."
Luo Jingyu understood his lip language and her heart started beating faster.
Fang Xu waved his hand: "Then I'll leave first."
He was about to turn around when Luo Jingyu grabbed his arm again. Fang Xu turned around and looked at him in surprise. Luo Jingyu was so anxious that she wanted to sign, but then she remembered that Fang Xu couldn't understand. She raised her hand to signal him not to leave, went into the bedroom to get her phone, and typed for him: What does she look like
"Huh?" Fang Xu almost laughed out loud, and asked back, "Don't you know what she looks like?"
Luo Jingyu shook her head, her lips still tightly pursed.
Fang Xu is a very show-off person. He thought that since he helped Luo Jingyu hide her deafness, he should also help Miss Zhan hide something. That would be fair!
He smiled and said, "She's just an ordinary woman, about 30 years old, not tall, with an ordinary face."
Luo Jingyu stared at his lips intently, afraid of missing a word. After "listening", the expression on his face was indifferent, which made Fang Xu unpredictable.
Fang Xu asked jokingly: "Why? Disappointed?"
Luo Jingyu didn't see clearly, frowned and typed: What
"Disappointed?" Fang Xu enunciated each word clearly and asked again.
Luo Jingyu understood it, but didn’t comprehend it, and typed: What are you disappointed about
“Do you think she’s a beauty? Hahahahaha…” Fang Xu finally laughed. It was so damn hard to hold back his laughter. “Stop being lustful, young man. Work hard to make money! You’ve been arranging flowers for a week, and the goods in the store are almost sold out. Get to work!”
He patted Luo Jingyu's arm, turned and left.
Luo Jingyu couldn't understand such a difficult word as "发/春". What he thought of was "犯傻". Fang Xu was telling him not to be stupid, right
He thought Fang Xu might have misunderstood. What was he doing wrong? He was not disappointed! He had known what kind of person Teacher Jidan was. He was just envious of Fang Xu, because he could meet Teacher Jidan in person and talk to her. He didn't know if her voice was nice or not. She was so patient, so her voice must be very gentle. It was a pity that he couldn't hear it.
After closing the door, Luo Jingyu sat down at the workbench and took out the contents of the paper bag to look at them.
It’s a box of L’Occitane Christmas gift box hand cream!
He opened the gift box and took out the four hand creams to study them. He found a card in the bag that read:
Small fish:
The weather is dry in winter, so remember to apply hand cream.
Thank you for doing "Good Luck", and I wish you good health, happiness and good luck.
—Egg pudding^_^
December 6, 201x
Her handwriting was so beautiful, so elegant and graceful. Luo Jingyu felt even more embarrassed when she thought of her own poor handwriting.
He opened a yellow-shelled hand cream, squeezed a little on his hands, and put his hands to his nose to smell it. It was a light lemon scent. He spread the hand cream evenly, and it didn't feel sticky. He smelled it again, and both hands were fragrant.
Luo Jingyu blinked a few times, feeling guilty.
How could it be such a coincidence? They both prepared gifts for each other and wrote small cards. Could it be that Teacher Egg was looking forward to meeting him? She actually prepared a gift for him! How could she be so nice!
If he didn't go, would she be angry
Luo Jingyu opened her phone and found that there was no new message from "Egg Pudding". The last message was sent at 10:30 last night, when they had just finished chatting for more than an hour.
Egg Pudding: Little Fish, Good Night, See You Tomorrow [Moon]
Seeing this sentence, Luo Jingyu's fingers were already pressing on the screen uncontrollably.
What a Big Fish : Teacher Egg.
He waited for five minutes, but there was no reply.
What a Big Fish: Teacher Egg, I’m sorry I didn’t send flowers today. Thank you for giving me a gift, I like it very much. I just touched it and it smells very good.
Ten minutes passed and the other party still didn't reply.
Big Fish: Mr. Egg, are you angry? I want to apologize to you. I'm sorry. I was wrong.
An hour later, no response.
Luo Jingyu felt unwell.
Ahhh! It's over! Teacher Egg is angry! She ignores him!
