Zhao Jueming arrived downstairs of Yunzhi's house early in the morning. This was something they had agreed on the night before. They lived close by, so it would be more convenient for Yunzhi to go with him in his car.

The two got in the car, and since they were old classmates, they had a lot of topics to talk about.

Therefore, they ignored the man who appeared downstairs and was looking at them with a sullen face.

Zhou Niantang got up earlier than usual, and when he arrived at the flower shop, the other employees had not yet come to work.

She took the key and went to the next door to open it.

This shop has not been rented out for several years. The lady said that the landlord does not lack the money and thinks it would be troublesome to rent it out, so he has kept it vacant.

As for why she was suddenly willing to rent this time, Zhou Niantang thought it was because this lady had good connections.

The store was very large and dusty, so Zhou Niantang had to wear a mask he had prepared in advance.

After she walked around twice, she came out and Yun Zhi and the others arrived just in time.

After the three people greeted each other, Zhao Jueming quickly got into work mode.

"If you want to create a high-end look, you need to leave more blank space and keep the decoration as simple as possible..."

Zhao Jueming was holding a tape measure and gesturing in front, while Zhou Niantang and Yun Zhi followed behind him and nodded in agreement.

To be honest, they don't know anything about decoration. Sometimes when Zhao Jueming talks about some ideas, they only understand half of it.

"I roughly know how to do it. I'll send it to you once I've made the renderings."

After Zhao Jueming had been gesturing up and down for nearly half an hour, he had a rough draft in his mind.

"Thank you, senior. It's still early. How about we have lunch together later?" Zhou Niantang suggested.

The other two had nothing to do when they returned, so they nodded in agreement.

The place where we eat is not far from the flower shop. It is a well-known Chinese restaurant locally.

During the meal, the three of them had a lot to talk about since they were from the same school, and the guests enjoyed themselves very much.

As they chatted, Zhao Jueming asked Zhou Niantang: "Will Tangtang graduate next summer?"

Zhou Niantang answered while eating: "Yes, senior, I am still a senior student."

"Then when you graduate next year, I'll send you flowers."

Zhou Niantang smiled and did not refuse: "Then I would like to thank you first."

Yun Zhi also joked: "We are all acquaintances. Can't senior buy flowers at Tangtang's store and then buy flowers and give them to the flower seller?"

"Then just give them out in red envelopes, so I don't have to spend money on them." Zhou Niantang also agreed.

Zhao Jueming was amused by their words and kept laughing. He recalled the year Yunzhi graduated, when he went to school to attend as an outstanding graduate of the previous class.

At this time, Zhou Niantang said excuse me and got up to go to the bathroom.

Zhao Jueming recalled some past events, and asked Yun Zhi: "There was a boy in your department at that time, are you still in touch with him now?"

Yun Zhi tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Senior, are you talking about Luo Ze?"

"Yes, you were always together at that time, and I thought you two were a couple." Zhao Jueming said with a bit of bitterness in his expression.

Yun Zhi smiled awkwardly: "No, we are not together, we are just good friends."

Zhao Jueming was a little surprised: "Didn't he confess to you?"

This made Yun Zhi confused, "Why do you think he will confess to me?"

Zhao Jueming frowned slightly, and then the doubts and disappointment in his heart disappeared, replaced by a renewed sense of anticipation.

"Nothing, I just saw you two were very close at that time, and I thought he liked you."

Yun Zhi had never thought about love before, or rather, she didn't dare to think about it, nor did she have the time to think about it. She was busy taking care of her brother, studying, making money, and getting scholarships.

Even though she had a crush on Luo Ze when she was young, she didn't dare to pursue some details until after graduation when her work and life were stable.

After investigating, she discovered one thing, maybe she liked Luo Ze.

Or maybe, he likes me too.

If you really like each other, then you should be together!

She smiled frankly: "I don't know whether he liked me before, but I like him quite a lot now."

Zhao Jueming's smile froze on his lips.

The little flame of hope that had just risen was completely extinguished!

"Xiao Zhi is really straightforward." Zhao Jueming smiled awkwardly.

At this time, Zhou Niantang just came back, and the two of them started talking about other topics tacitly.

After the meal, Zhao Jueming said he had something else to do in his studio, so he left.

It was Yunzhi's day off and she had nothing to do, so she simply went to the flower shop with Zhou Niantang to chat.

A batch of flowers happened to arrive at the flower shop in the afternoon, so the two of them moved some small stools and sat in the backyard to prune the branches.

Yun Zhi watched Zhou Niantang pruning branches skillfully. With a pair of scissors in her hand, she could finish pruning a flower in just a few strokes, and it was done very carefully.

"It seems like you really like tending to flowers and plants."

Zhou Niantang nodded seriously: "Yes, I have liked it since I was a child. I planted a lot of flowers in the garden at home when I was young."

But now I have to run the flower shop, so I don’t have much time, so Aunt Zhang is helping me.

Yun Zhi was a little puzzled: "But why would you like it? Especially when you were still a child, how could you calm down and do these things?"

Besides, she comes from a good family and has many other hobbies to choose from, such as flowers, plants and trees, which are actually quite boring.

"I didn't like it at the beginning. I was not in good health when I was a child, so my family didn't let me go out very often. My father was very busy. In order to make me stay at home, Aunt Zhang and her family coaxed me and told me to watch Xiaohua grow up every day. When Hua grew up and I was in good health, I could go out to play."

"I was so stupid at that time that I believed it. For a while, I moved a stool to sit in the garden every day and stare at the little seedling. Ji Shenshen and others laughed at me for a long time."

Zhou Niantang was just saying this as a casual chat.

In Yunzhi's impression, Zhou Niantang has always been sweet, gentle and kind. She initially thought that she should have a happy family.

But later I heard Luo Ze mention that Zhou Niantang was very lonely when he was a child.

Her father was always away from home and her sister ignored her, so she was raised by a housekeeper and a nanny.

Even though her life experience was not as good as Zhou Niantang's, she still empathized with her. Childhood loneliness actually has a great impact on a person's character.

Even I am unreasonably stubborn in some aspects, but not Zhou Niantang. Her personality is the best among anyone I have ever met.

"How's your health lately?" Yun Zhi was still worried about her last drowning incident.

Zhou Niantang tied up a bunch of lilies and patted his chest: "Oh, the years of conditioning are still effective. I don't feel anything now."

Yun Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Zhou Niantang was okay.

"By the way, I'm going on a business trip for a few days to H City tomorrow." Yun Zhi would tell Zhou Niantang whenever she was on a business trip.

After all, a nanny is just a nanny. In case something happens to Xiaoqi, there will be someone to take care of him.

She owed Zhou Niantang too much.

Zhou Niantang took this matter to heart, "Don't worry, I will visit your home when I have time."

Fearing that Yun Zhi would feel burdened, she added: "But you have to bring back some local specialties to reward me."

Yun Zhi naturally agreed. She also understood that Zhou Niantang's conditions did not require any specialties.
