Mr. Xuan's substitute little wife

"Luo Xi, what do you want to eat?"

Meng Bai turned around and looked at Xia Luoxi and asked

"I'm fine with either. It's up to you to decide."

Xia Luoxi was not very familiar with this place, so she decided to follow Meng Bai.

"Then let's go eat hot pot! There's a hot pot restaurant here that's really delicious."

Meng Bai began to introduce delicious food to Xia Luoxi

"Um"

Xia Luoxi did not refuse Meng Bai's request, because Meng Bai brought Xia Luoxi a different feeling.

*

Meng Bai brought Xia Luoxi to a hot pot restaurant. Meng Bai didn't know whether Xia Luoxi could eat spicy food, so she ordered a shabu-shabu hot pot. While waiting for the food, Meng Bai started chatting with Xia Luoxi like other girls.

"Luo Xi, which city are you originally from?"

Meng Bai hadn't been out much since coming to City C, so he was particularly curious about Xia Luoxi's original city.

"I'm from S City."

Xia Luoxi didn't want to hide it from Meng Bai. After all, Meng Bai had been in City C and probably didn't know what was happening in City S.

"Is it such a coincidence? I was also in S City. I also came to C City last year."

Meng Bai said happily that he didn't expect that Xia Luoxi was in the same city as him!

"That's quite a coincidence. Will you go back later?"

Xia Luoxi was not worried that Meng Bai would leave, but if Meng Bai came to City C, what would happen to her family in City S?

"I'm not going back. I'm doing fine in City C."

Meng Bai came here naturally because he didn't want to stay in S City anymore, so how could he possibly go back?

"Why did you suddenly come to City C?" Meng Bai asked curiously.

"I have been a burden to my brother in S City. I don't want to burden them anymore, so I came to C City. Meng Bai, I can't let them know I am here."

Although Xia Luoxi knew that Meng Bai would not tell anyone, she did not want to hide it from Meng Bai.

"Okay, now that you've come to City C, don't think about these unhappy things. I'll protect you from now on."

Meng Bai knew that it was not easy for Xia Luoxi to come to City C alone.

"Well, thank you."

Xia Luoxi looked at Meng Bai with some emotion. She was the first person she met in City C who gave her warmth.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's eat first. We'll be together all the time and chat slowly."

By this time the dishes were almost ready. Meng Bai picked up some dishes one by one and gave them to Xia Luoxi, making Xia Luoxi feel a little embarrassed.

"Haven't you found Xia Luoxi yet?"

Ou Luoyi watched as Lin Sen brought no news again and again, so he naturally didn't have much expectation this time.

"Someone said they saw Miss Xia in City C."

Lin Sen told Ou Luoyi the news he had just received.

"Go to City C"

Ou Luoyi didn't dare to give up any clues about Xia Luoxi, and now he had to find Xia Luoxi as soon as possible.

Xia Luoxi followed Meng Bai home. At this time, Xia Luoxi naturally didn't know that Ou Luoyi was already on the way to City C.

Naturally, the news of Ou Luoyi's trip to City C was not told to anyone, for fear that someone would tip off Xia Luoxi and let her run away.

The next day, Xia Luoxi followed Meng Bai to the store. Although Xia Luoxi liked flower arrangement, she had never learned it professionally, so Meng Bai taught Xia Luoxi some basic flower arrangement first.

Because it was a weekday, Xia Luoxi didn't have much work to do, and she learned quickly. Meng Bai didn't expect Xia Luoxi to learn so quickly.

"Meng Bai, should this flower be placed in the refrigerator?"

Xia Luoxi asked while holding the newly arrived flowers

"Remove the thorn first, be careful."

Meng Bai is packing the flowers to be delivered in the next few days

"I have removed it, I have applied some nutrient water, what should I do next?"

Xia Luoxi flipped through the notes but couldn't find the steps, so she could only ask Meng Bai

"Let me do it."

Meng Bai was worried that Xia Luoxi wouldn't be able to do it, so he put down the flowers in his hand, took the flowers from Xia Luoxi, then put some water in the bucket and put the flowers in.

Xia Luoxi was not idle either, and wrote down Meng Bai's actions one by one.

"Okay, come and help me choose the flowers. People who order flowers these days are quite picky, and I'm worried sick."

After Meng Bai completed a series of procedures, he pulled Xia Luoxi to the place where he had just made the flowers.

"This was ordered by a little girl for her mother. She said she didn't want something too ordinary, she wanted something a little special, and she wanted it to have lilies."

Mengbai hasn't matched lilies for a long time, and what gives Mengbai the most headache is matching lilies. No matter how he matches them, it always looks abrupt.

"I think the gift for my mother shouldn't be too complicated, just keep it simple."

Meng Bai told Xia Luoxi his thoughts

"I think lilies are elegant and would not look out of place if paired with sweetheart grass or violets. The color would not be too bright and would be more elegant, making it a suitable gift for mothers."

Xia Luoxi thought for a while and said, "Lily is indeed not suitable for pairing flowers. Roses and lilies will look too bright and not suitable for giving to mothers."

"let me try."

Meng Bai has always wanted to pair lilies with flowers like daisies, and never thought that lilies could be paired with violets or sweetheart grass.

"Really? Luo Xi, how did you know this would look good?"

Meng Bai matched lilies and sweetgrass, and it was indeed as elegant and simple as Xia Luoxi said, not looking particularly gorgeous or abrupt. Meng Bai instantly felt like he had picked up a treasure.

"White and lavender look good together, white and red look good together too, but red is not suitable for mothers, the quietness of lavender is suitable for mothers."

Xia Luoxi told Meng Bai her idea, and she didn't expect it to look so good.

"Luo Xi, have you ever sent flowers to your mother before?"

Meng Bai was packing while chatting with Xia Luoxi

"I don't have any parents. I grew up in an orphanage."

Xia Luoxi paused and said

"Ah! I'm sorry, Luo Xi, I didn't know you."

Meng Bai heard Xia Luoxi say that she had a brother, but she didn't expect that Xia Luoxi was an orphan.

"It's fine."

Xia Luoxi naturally had nothing to mind. So many years had passed and she no longer cared about these things.

"I'm going to deliver flowers this afternoon. You might have to be alone in the store. Can you handle it?"

Meng Bai did not bring it up again and could only change the topic to something else.

"It's okay, I can do it. If not, I still have the notes you gave me."

Xia Luoxi picked up the notebook on the table and shook it and said

*

After lunch, Meng Bai went to deliver the flowers, thinking that he could go early and come back early so that Xia Luoxi wouldn't have to deal with so much alone.

Xia Luoxi was watering the flowers in the store. The wind chimes at the door rang. Someone was coming. Xia Luoxi said without looking up.

"What flowers would you like to buy?"

At first, Ou Luoyi didn't believe that Xia Luoxi would hide in the flower shop in City C, until he went there and found out it was true.

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Xia Luoxi looked up.

"elder brother?"

Xia Luoxi cried out in surprise. She had clearly been hiding very well, so how come her brother found her so quickly?

"How long do you want to hide?"

There were bloodshot eyes in Ou Luoyi's eyes, and Xia Luoxi's heart suddenly ached when she saw it.

"Brother, didn't I tell you not to come to see me?"

Xia Luoxi didn't want to cause trouble to Ou Luoyi anymore so she left, but she didn't expect to be found by Ou Luoyi again.

"You've suffered so much, how can I let you stay here alone? Come back with me."

Ou Luoyi walked over quickly, wanting to take Xia Luoxi's hand and leave.
