Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

In fact, things are not as complicated as the third brother thinks.

She had already pried open a hole in the wall in her heart.

Lin Ying, I just figured it out.

……

The Chinese New Year is approaching, and Junsheng Flower Shop is one of the few shops still open on this street.

The shop owner, Mr. Li, who was a little hard of hearing, pushed his glasses and asked again:

"What do you want?"

Lin Ying pursed her lips, turned her head quickly, and noticed out of the corner of her eye that a woman wearing a mask outside the store seemed to be about to come in.

He quickly lowered his voice:

"A bouquet of lilies of the valley, a whole bouquet, and a greeting card, please."

Old man Li is hard of hearing and has a loud voice.

He? He said loudly, then raised his voice:

"What flower?"

The sound of high heels behind me is getting closer and closer.

Lin Ying gritted her teeth and leaned close to his ear, "Lily of the valley, and a greeting card!"

Old Man Li: "What? I don't smoke. Also, what card? I only accept cash here."

Lin Ying pinched her eyebrows with two fingers.

Is the boss kidding him?

The two times I came back before, I didn't see him being deaf to this extent.

"Bell orchid!"

"A blank greeting card!"

Lin Ying gritted her teeth and raised her voice a little.

His ears gradually turned red as the woman behind him looked at him.

Damn it.

He didn't come earlier or later, but just when he was buying flowers.

Old man Li seemed to recognize him.

"Oh, oh, oh, you are Xiaolin who bought a lot of chrysanthemums from me. Look at the look in my eyes."

"Are you here to buy chrysanthemums again today?"

Lin Ying almost wanted to jump up and run away.

If that person hadn't come in.

"Grandpa, he said he wanted to wrap a bouquet of lily of the valley and a blank greeting card!"

The woman spoke loudly.

The mask was pulled down, and Lin Ying, who was standing next to her, was so shocked that her pupils kept shaking.

This woman...

Why does she look so much like Ajuan?

But she is indeed a person, and her brows are less resentful and more bright than Ajuan's.

Lin Ying quickly looked away before the woman looked over.

Old man Li slowly opened the lock of the glass cabinet inside, picked out a few greeting cards from it, and placed them on the glass surface.

He smiled at Lin Ying and said, "You choose first."

He turned back to the woman and said, "A Ling, you didn't even tell me when you came back."

"This morning," the woman replied.

Seeing that Lao Li was taking his time, the woman simply put on a white apron, took a pair of scissors, and went to the potted lily of the valley to pick and choose.

As she processed the branches, she said:

"Grandpa, you're already 76. Why don't you close this flower shop? It's not like my dad hasn't given you money."

Mr. Li seemed to have selective deafness, and he could hear his granddaughter's words clearly.

He put his hands behind his back, moved slowly over, and gently gave A Ling a chestnut.

"This is the business your grandmother worked so hard to build. How can I just give it up to her so easily?"

The old man sat back on the stool and looked at Lin Ying standing there writing a greeting card while complaining:

"Your father won't take over my shop, so why don't you stop going abroad and I'll pass this shop on to you."

"Never!"

But in a short while, A Ling had dealt with the branches.

She came to Lin Ying with the flower branch and smiled at him a little embarrassedly:

"It made you laugh."

She pointed at her grandfather, then at her own head, and whispered, "My grandfather is old, forgetful, and hard of hearing. I hope he hasn't caused you any trouble."

"good."

Apart from the conversation with Ma Dongmei just now, he actually had a good shopping experience here.

Seeing A Ling take out the wrapping paper, Lin Ying quickly put away the greeting cards and made room for her.

She looked up. "Are you finished?"

"Ah."

Lin Ying secretly looked at the face of the woman in front of him and twirled his fingers inconspicuously.

After calculating quietly for a while, he looked confused.

impossible.

He knew Ajuan's birth date and horoscope.

If this woman was her descendant, there was no way he couldn't figure it out.

Could it really be such a coincidence?

Five minutes passed.

A Ling smiled and handed him the bouquet. Lin Ying gently held the bouquet and took out her wallet. "How much?"

A Ling asked Old Man Li, "Grandpa, how much does it cost?"

Old man Li stood up, took off his reading glasses and put them on, staring at Lin Ying for a long time before saying:

"I didn't look closely before, but today I realized that you really look like a human."

"..."

What do you mean?

Is her grandfather cursing?

A Ling was a little embarrassed.

She leaned close to Old Man Li's ear and said loudly: "How much does this cost? I'm asking you this!"

Old man Li rubbed his ears and looked at A Ling with some grievance, "125, and besides, I'm not deaf, but you made me deaf too."

Lin Ying counted out the money and put it on the table.

She nodded politely to them, then gently walked away with the bouquet of flowers.

For some reason, Old Man Li just followed.

Ah Ling quickly pulled him back and asked, "Grandpa, where are you going? Are you not going to the store anymore?"

Old man Li glanced at her and turned to go into the inner room.

The inner room is a small living room.

This place was decorated by his wife.

There are two photos on the background wall of the living room.

There are also two tablets.

One is Cheng Ying and the other is Lin Jingzhi.

Old man Li pointed at the wrinkled face of Cheng Ying in the photo and said to A Ling:

"Don't you think that man just now looks like my father-in-law?"

A Ling squinted her eyes and looked at him, muttering, "I haven't seen your father-in-law, but the outline is a bit similar, except that he has too many wrinkles."

Just as she said this, Old Man Li hit her with a chestnut again, "You're rude! Call me grandpa."

Ah Ling covered her head, which didn't hurt at all, and laughed playfully, raising her chin towards Jingzhi's photo. "My grandma died so young?"

Hearing this, Old Man Li's fingers curled again.

"Oh." She pressed his finger down. "I was just asking."

Old man Li snorted and looked at Jingzhi's photo.

He didn't know how to answer.

Xiaojuan only told him that her mother was missing.

After so many years, he still hasn't been found, so we can only treat him as dead.

Old Man Li put away his thoughts, turned around and asked her, "Where's your grandma? How is she?"

"It's amazing! The operation was a success! My mom said she'll let her come back here to recuperate. You're happy now, aren't you?"

Old man Li grinned and said, "Good, as long as she's healthy, it doesn't matter where she lives. I'll support her by selling flowers."

At this point, he felt a little awkward, "Um...how is she feeling? Is she still mad at me?"

Ah Ling wrinkled her nose at him, sat down on the stool next to her, and complained with her hands on her face:

"If you hadn't insisted on selling flowers, she wouldn't have fallen off the flower stand and injured her bones for a hundred days. Tell me, is she angry?"

Old man Li pinched his fingers and slowly lowered his head. His hoarse voice could not hide his loss and guilt:

"She has always been healthy, and I never expected... this to happen suddenly."

He raised his face and looked out, "Your mother probably won't let her come here, so will she go home to stay at night?"

"Of course." Ah Ling kept picking off the branch debris on her apron and said:

"But grandma said she had to go back to the old house first to take a look. I heard from Mrs. Guo next door that the house seemed to be rented out."

"……Oh."

……

the other side.

Jingzhi was confronting Zhong Yao at this time.

Taking advantage of the fact that he had no memory, Jingzhi walked in with his own prescription.

One theory is that he was getting medicine for Lin Ying's cat.

Zhong Yao, who was handling something with his back to her, put down his mouse, immediately turned his chair and looked over.

His beautiful peach blossom eyes froze slightly the next second after he saw Jingzhi.

Somehow, he turned around again.

He removed the expression that hinted at anger and replaced it with his original gentle and elegant look.

There was even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Jintong was gloating in her sea of ​​consciousness.

[Oh~ It's that look again~ It smells like love~]

Jingzhi tightened his collar, crossed his arms, and involuntarily stepped back.

[This is a ghost love story! This is bad fate! It's definitely bad fate! If I had known this, I would have worn a mask!]

Zhong Yao saw that she was wearing a tight collar and thought she was cold, so he took the remote control and raised the heating by two degrees.

His voice became softer and softer. "You mean, you also raised that cat?"

"……Um."

Not a single extra word.

Zhong Yao smiled politely at her, secretly trying to figure out her relationship with Lin Ying.

The cat we raise together, then...

are friends?

Or father and daughter?

Or...boyfriend or girlfriend?

Seeing that he was staring at her, Jingzhi felt her scalp tingling when she thought of Lin Jiu's jealous look before.

She simply stated all her requests for coming here at once.

"Now that the probiotics are finished, please quickly prepare two more boxes for me. I'm in a hurry."

Jingzhi spoke very quickly, looking out the glass door from time to time.

I'm afraid that the bloody incident will happen again.

Zhong Yao's heart was pounding, how could he let her go like this?

He said: "Don't take medicine carelessly."

"How about this, do you want to bring the cat to me tomorrow or somewhere else? I'll give it a full physical examination. If it doesn't need to take the medicine, we won't need to prescribe it any more medicine."

Jingzhi's fingertips trembled slightly, then she retracted them into her sleeves and clenched them tightly.

Who says "we" to you?

Brother, we are not familiar with each other.

What's more, there is no cat without her, and there is no cat without her.

How could she come to treat him without him?

funny.

"Since I can't deliver the medicine, I'll leave first."

With that, she turned and walked out of the office.

"Hey! This lady!"

Zhong Yao grabbed the prescription, walked around the desk, and quickly chased after him.

……

the other side.

Lin Ying imagined many scenes of formally giving her flowers, which hand to use, what to say, and where to take her to dinner later...

All in all, he was sweating nervously.

I knew Jingzhi would come to the pet hospital.

After buying the flowers, he immediately came here.

The lights on the statues of cats and dogs at the door are still on.

It seems the doctor hasn't left work yet.

Lin Ying straightened her clothes, smoothed out the almost wrinkles on her coat, and pushed the door open to go inside.

"jingle."

The bell above the door rang.

The posture of the two people inside made Lin Ying's eyes widen.
