Summer flower shop

"Brother, what are you looking at?" Yang Libin came out of the flower shop and saw Zhou Zitao staring at the phone in a daze.

"It's nothing, just work." Zhou Zitao stuffed his phone into his pocket and turned to deal with the flowers.

Just now when Yang Libin was preparing the soup for lunch, Zhou Zitao answered the phone, and he has been absent-minded since then.In fact, Yang Libin occasionally heard Zhou Zitao sigh recently, probably after his birthday, and he didn't know what happened. Every time he asked him, he said no, so he stopped asking.

During lunch, Zhou Zitao told Yang Libin that he was going to have dinner with his classmates in the evening and that he didn't have to have dinner with him, but he promised to come back early.

"It's okay, you don't have to rush back, I will clean up." Yang Libin has been here for so long, and it is rare to see Zhou Zitao go out on private matters, "Brother, are you driving?"

"Go. Don't worry, I won't drink!" Knowing that Yang Libin cared about him, Zhou Zitao said with a smile, "You are welcome to call to check the post anytime."

"I'm too lazy to care about you." Yang Libin said duplicity.

"No one cares if you don't care." Zhou Zitao helped Yang Libin serve a bowl of soup, "I'll call you, and I'll bring you a midnight snack when I come back. What would you like to eat?"

"If you don't eat before going to bed, you will gain weight."

"I just want to make you fat and comfortable to hold." Zhou Zitao reached out to hug Yang Libin, but Yang Libin smiled and moved away.After his birthday, apart from rubbing Yang Libin's hair, Zhou Zitao had a bad habit of giving him a hug if he had nothing to do.

"Brother! The soup has been spilled!" Yang Libin couldn't hide, and Zhou Zitao grabbed his shoulders.

As usual, Zhou Zitao put his head on Yang Libin's shoulder and took a deep breath.He liked the smell of Yang Libin very much. Although the shampoo and shower gel they both used were exactly the same, he just felt that Yang Libin smelled good.

After five o'clock in the afternoon, after Zhou Zitao went out to deliver flowers, he went home to take a shower and changed his clothes.As soon as he arrived at the flower shop, Bingbing rushed in and shouted in a fuss: "No way, Taozi, why are you dressed like this!"

Yang Libin also looked at Zhou Zitao in surprise.

Zhou Zitao, who usually wears sports and casual clothes, is now wearing a shirt, trousers and leather shoes, with a tie and a suit jacket in his hand, making him look like a senior elite.The stitches had been removed from the wound on his head, and he had a cropped cut, and a scar was clearly visible.Yang Libin really thinks Zhou Zitao is so handsome and cool.

Zhou Zitao was putting on his tie facing the glass mirror next to the flower stand, while Bingbing stood aside and looked at him with scrutiny: "Taozi, why are you going? Are you going to a banquet?"

Zhou Zitao didn't answer, Yang Libin said on his behalf: "Brother is going to have dinner with my classmates."

"Students dressed like this for a dinner party? I think it's believable to go on a blind date." Bingbing didn't believe it at all, "Taozi, where did you eat at the dinner party? Dressed like this, what kind of high-end place is it?"

"Are you looking down on me, I can't go to high-end places to eat?" Zhou Zitao was wearing a tie, feeling a little rushed when speaking.

Not only was Bingbing not angry, but she squinted her eyes, walked behind Zhou Zitao, looked at him in the mirror, and asked tentatively: "Not in a good mood? Shouldn't you be happy to have a dinner with your classmates? With a female classmate?"

"You're such a gossip." Zhou Zitao left the mirror.

"Could it be that the old lover came back?" Bingbing stared at Zhou Zitao with piercing eyes.

Zhou Zitao ignored him, explained something to Yang Libin, put on his coat and left.

Bingbing's words and Zhou Zitao's behavior made Yang Libin very mindful. Seeing that Bingbing was about to leave, he hurriedly asked: "Sister Bingbing, what do you mean by the old lover you just mentioned?"

The reason why Bingbing is a know-it-all, apart from her love of gossip, is also because she has a unique and sharp eye, and nothing can escape her eyes, and she has a quick mind and strong analytical skills, and she can always hit the target.Now is a good time for her to show her talents, so she started talking to Yang Libin endlessly.

It turned out that Zhou Zitao had been in a relationship since high school, and later they were admitted to the same university, but the girl suddenly decided to study abroad in her sophomore year.Zhou Zitao didn't object either, after all, he couldn't stand in the way of his future.Bingbing didn't know if there was any contact between them afterwards, but just after the Spring Festival last year, that woman suddenly came.

It happened that Zhou Zitao was not in the store that day, and Bingbing was still on winter vacation, so I helped him look after the store.While the woman was waiting for Zhou Zitao in the store, she chatted with Bingbing, and Bingbing understood something.Obviously that woman still likes Zhou Zitao very much, but Zhou Zitao is not interesting, so she came to her.

"To be honest, that girl is really good-looking. She is tall and thin, with long hair, and a generous personality. She is a very independent person, and she is quite suitable for Taozi." Bingbing commented like a parent She said, "Later she came a few times, but I don't think Taozi is very interested. I heard that she is still studying for a Ph. D., and she didn't come after that, maybe she went back to school. This time, she probably came back after finishing her studies."

"Why are you sure that brother is going to see her?" After hearing Bingbing's words, Yang Libin subconsciously didn't want Zhou Zitao to go to see that woman.

"Because when the girl came last time, they went out to eat together, and Taozi was also dressed very formally, and other than that, I have never seen him wear it like this." Bingbing analyzed like Conan, "still He didn't answer any questions I asked him, and he knew I was right by looking at his expression. The most important thing was that he was obviously not in a good mood. In the past, when I mentioned that woman, he was like that. Taozi is usually Very easy-going, I think there must have been some unpleasant things between them."

Yang Libin stared at the phone nervously, ever since he heard what Bingbing said, he really wanted to call Zhou Zitao.But why did you call and ask, did you really check if he had been drinking?Thinking of him having a meal with a woman while making love, Yang Libin felt terribly irritable.

Taking out two bunches of roses from the freezer, Yang Libin began to pierce them, pulling the thorns on the stems clean as if venting.Gradually, his mood changed from irritability to depression, and then to low self-esteem.

What right did he have to care who Zhou Zitao had dinner with, and who he fell in love with.He had known Zhou Zitao for less than a month, and he was only a temporary tenant in his house.Zhou Zitao asked him to call him brother, but he didn't mean that he was really his brother. After the summer vacation, maybe they would become strangers.What's more, Zhou Zitao is different from himself. It is normal for him to fall in love, get married and have children.

Yang Libin's whole person is getting more and more gloomy, he feels that he is useless, that he is a burden wherever he goes, and he just causes trouble for others.He began to wonder if it was time to leave here, or Zhou Zitao would bring his girlfriend home next time, how awkward it would be for him to have him, and it would be really inconvenient to carry him up and down the stairs every day, preventing them from getting along.

A burst of phone ringing woke up Yang Libin who was in a daze, and he hurried over to answer it.

"What are you doing, Xiao Bin, it took you so long to answer." Zhou Zitao's voice came from the phone.

"Prick the roses." Hearing Zhou Zitao's voice, Yang Libin suddenly felt a little sad, and his nose was a little sour.

"What's the matter, it sounds like you're about to cry." Zhou Zitao asked nervously, "Did you get stabbed? Or did someone bully you?"

"No, I'm not a child." Yang Libin smiled and rubbed his nose, "I was choked by the fragrance of flowers just now. Brother, why did you call back?"

"Didn't I agree to call you?" Zhou Zitao didn't believe Yang Libin's words, but he didn't ask, "Have you decided what to eat for supper? I'll bring it back for you."

"You can take whatever you want, I can do it." Yang Libin's heart regained light little by little.

Zhou Zitao hung up his cell phone, faced the mirror in the bathroom and fixed the tie that had been loosened just now, and he sighed deeply when he thought of going out to face Guo Bei again.

Guo Bei is a very smart woman. She was really happy to be with her when she was studying, and she also had a good vision for the future.But she is also a strong woman. After they each embarked on different paths in life, the distance between them has become farther and farther.Wanting to be together now, Zhou Zitao really felt a little tired.

After Guo Bei went abroad, they kept in touch until Zhou Zitao opened a flower shop and became more and more busy, while she was also busy doing research and writing papers, so the two gradually lost contact.At the beginning of last year, Guo Bei came back to find Zhou Zitao. At the beginning, there was a feeling of reliving old dreams between the two of them, but Zhou Zitao couldn't bear it soon.The purpose of Guo Bei's return is to ask Zhou Zitao to go abroad with her. She confessed that she still likes Zhou Zitao and hopes that the two can be together. Moreover, she thinks that Zhou Zitao is a man and not suitable for a flower shop. He should have a better development. She has also found a good relationship with him abroad.Zhou Zitao thought that the two had different ideas, and he felt disgusted by Guo Bei's denial of his career, so he refused without hesitation.

This time, Guo Bei came back and did not intend to leave again.She said that she was willing to stay for Zhou Zitao because she still loves him, and hoped that the two of them could start over.

Guo Bei is a good woman, but also a persistent woman.Zhou Zitao made it clear that the two of them were not suitable anymore, but she still insisted on giving them another chance.Zhou Zitao really didn't know how to refuse.

When Yang Libin was changing the water for the flowers, Zhou Zitao came back with abalone porridge.The two of them packed the flowers together and ate porridge in the shop.Yang Libin was really a little hungry, he didn't eat much at all for dinner, and Zhou Zitao didn't even know what to eat when he was facing the affectionate and persuasive Guo Bei.

When they went home and went upstairs, Yang Libin, who was lying on Zhou Zitao's back, thought for a while and said, "Brother, I will live in a flower shop from tomorrow on."

"Why?" Zhou Zitao stopped at the corner of the stairs and asked sideways, "Why do you suddenly want to live in a flower shop when you live well? Tell me, what's going on, you will be weird when I call back, and you will say again I want to live in a flower shop, did Bingbing say something after I left?"

"Sister Bingbing didn't say anything. I just think it's more convenient. It's hard work for you to carry me up and down the stairs every day, and you have to calculate the time to come back. It's so troublesome." Yang Libin was a little guilty, but he really felt that it would be inconvenient for Zhou Zitao to do this. .

"I'm willing to carry you, and I like to carry you. Don't worry about nothing." Zhou Zitao patted Yang Libin's butt and continued to go upstairs.

"But...but it will be inconvenient, when your...girlfriend...comes." Yang Libin hemmed and hawed in a low voice.

"I knew that Bingbing was gossiping with you again!" Zhou Zitao had already guessed in his heart, it would be strange if Bingbing's mouth didn't say it, "I solemnly declare to you now: I don't have a girlfriend, and I won't take anyone home casually! You know, so far, I have never brought anyone to my house except you, and I took the initiative to invite. I can’t guarantee that in the future, but no one will come at this stage. You can rest assured, let alone you are my younger brother. The family is justified, so what are you worried about?"

Yang Libin didn't say anything, his heart was a little sweet and a little sour.I don't know how long I will live here, and I don't know how long Zhou Zitao's "this stage" will be.
