grief

In the corner, a pot of black mandala was in full bloom under the bright light. It seemed that because it was neglected, it became more coquettish and exuded endless charm.

"But..." The girl looked at this handsome man who obviously didn't understand flowers, and kindly reminded, "This is not suitable as a gift for Qixi Festival."

"I want it."

Qiao Yuxi returned to the car, put the potted plants away before entering the restaurant.

Ran Luo had already arrived, and when he saw him, he ran over quickly, ignoring other people's eyes, threw himself on him, and gave him a big hug.

"Yu Zhi, why did you come here and make people wait so long?"

"I'm delayed by something." Qiao Yuxi gently pushed Ran Luo away from him, "Are you hungry?"

"Yeah." Ran Luo nodded heavily, staring at Qiao Yuxi, who was empty-handed with displeasure, "Didn't you prepare any presents for him?"

Qiao Yuxi had indeed thought about this question.After learning that today is Qixi Festival, and he ruined Ran Luo and Zhan Yuan's chance to be alone, he thought maybe he should give a gift as compensation.However, he quickly dismissed the idea.

If Zhan Yuan knew that Ran Luo came out today to meet him alone and accepted his gift, I am afraid that Ran Luo will inevitably be punished, and his idea of ​​winning Zhan Yuan may be forced to stop, so the gain outweighs the loss. Think about it or forget it.

"What gift?" Qiao Yuxi pretended not to know.

"Of course you have to give gifts on Valentine's Day. You ask someone out but don't prepare a gift. It's so dishonest that they don't want to agree to you."

Qiao Yuxi really wanted to ask what he promised, but he swallowed the words again, he was afraid that this question would cause trouble.Call in the waiter and get ready to order.

"What do you two want to order?"

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

Ran Luo flipped through the menu, closed it, and announced the names of a bunch of dishes.

Qiao Yuxi drank water to calm down, and waited for the waiter to leave before saying, "Ran Luo, you can't waste food if you want to get angry."

"Who said I wasted, I'm growing. Unlike some people, my metabolism has started to go downhill."

"Ahem..." Qiao Yuxi was really choked, why did this sound like he was already old, he was clearly not yet 30 years old.

"Yu Zhi, are you alright?" Ran Luo quickly sat over and stroked his back, taking the opportunity to move his hands up and down.

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you." Qiao Yuxi grabbed his hand, "I'll give you the gift back to the head office later."

"It's not too bad." Ran Luo didn't want any gift, but he would not miss an opportunity to show off to Zhan Yuan, or to be tortured by Zhan Yuan.

"Excuse me, who is Mr. Ran Luo?" A waiter walked to their table with a bouquet of roses.

"I."

"Hello, here are some flowers for you."

"Me?" Ran Luo pointed at himself.

"Yes, sir."

"Great."

Ran Luo's eyes lit up immediately, since he was a child, no one had ever given him flowers, let alone roses.She ran over to hug Qiao Yuxie, kissed him hard on the cheek, and laughed out of joy.

The corner of the waiter's mouth twitched a few times, his smile became stiff, and the hands holding the flowers began to tremble.

Qiao Yuxi smiled awkwardly at the waiter: "My brother has some mental problems, please don't mind."

"You have a problem with your sanity!" Ran Luo protested, took the rose and hugged it in his arms, loving it, "Just now you said there was no gift, so you wanted to surprise me."

Qiao Yuxi waited for the waiter to leave before explaining: "Ran Luo, I really didn't send this."

"I do not believe."

"It should be Zhan Yuan."

"He won't give me flowers!" Ran Luo vetoed.

"That might be, maybe he knew that you came to see me, and thought I was inviting you to spend Qixi Festival together, he was jealous." Qiao Yuxi expressed his guess, "With his temperament, he will never explain it to his face. So in this way, I want to get out of trouble.”

"Then will you?" Ran Luo seemed to have misheard the point.

Qiao Yuxi ignored him, the table was full of food, wouldn't it be too wasteful not to enjoy it.

"Yuxi, let's go celebrate together later." Although he said he didn't believe it, Ran Luo still confirmed Qiao Yuxi's conjecture in his heart.

"Celebrate what?"

"Congratulations on our acquaintance!" Ran Luo found an excuse casually, even without thinking, and now all his thoughts are on the rose in his arms.

"Mr. Ran Luo, we have known each other for almost two years, so it is possible that the second anniversary is coming, so is it a little early now?" Qiao Yuxi pointed to the dishes on the table, "What's more, before that , should you add some growth energy first?"

"Hehe, Yuxie, don't be angry, it's easy to get wrinkles when you are angry." Ran Luo ran over and sat next to him, winking at him, "You can't be angry if you want someone else to do it, what do you say, everyone agrees .”

Again.

Qiao Yuxi hurriedly lowered his head to eat the food, pretending he hadn't heard of it.

After a while, Ran Luo began to mutter beside him.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Yuxi couldn't help asking.

"Feather last, people say that different numbers of roses mean different meanings, is it true?"

"En." Qiao Yuxi nodded, that's what Ouyang Liling said before.

"What do the seventeen flowers represent?"

"How much?" Qiao Yuxi felt that he must have misheard.

"Seventeen flowers." Ran Luo repeated again, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Qiao Yuxi's complexion changed, he didn't know what to say: "That..."

"Quickly tell me!" Ran Luo was so immersed in the joy of receiving the rose that she didn't notice any abnormalities in Qiao Yuxie.

"This is... seventeen flowers?"

"Yeah." Ran Luo nodded hastily.

"There's nothing special about it." Qiao Yuxi pushed Ran Luo perfunctorily, "Sit back quickly and eat quickly."

"No, tell others!" Ran Luo grabbed Qiao Yuxi's arm and kept shaking it.

"I don't know." Qiao Yuxi wanted to tell a lie, but she was afraid of planting some disaster, so she simply kept it a secret until the matter was clarified.

Ran Luo looked at him for a while, then stopped the waiter passing by, "May I ask you something?"

"Sir, please tell me." The waiter smiled and looked at the cute boy with a shy face.

"What do seventeen roses mean?"

"Ah?" The waiter's smile froze for a moment, looking at the rose in Ran Luo's arms, he didn't know whether he should answer or not, when he was in a dilemma, he saw Qiao Yuxie winking at him, "Well, sorry sir, I don't know either .”

"Oh, thank you."

"You're welcome, sir, just call me if you need anything." The waiter hurriedly fled the scene, but wondered in his heart, who would have the heart to refuse such a cute boy, or in such a special way on Qixi Festival.

Qiao Yuxi heaved a sigh of relief, but soon he realized that his thinking was too simple. In this modern society, there is another way besides asking people.

Ran Luo happily flipped through the phone, muttering: "Seventeen flowers... Seventeen..."

Then, what Qiao Yuxi was worried about happened.

The smile on Ran Luo's face gradually faded, and he counted the roses in his bosom several times in disbelief: "Feather, go and help me find the person who sent the flowers just now, he must have stolen a rose." Duo is going to see someone off."

"Ran Luo..."

"Who was that person just now? I'm going to settle accounts with him!"

"Ran Luo, don't be like this, maybe someone really sent it by mistake, or maybe, this flower was not sent by Zhan Yuan at all." Qiao Yuxi grabbed Ran Luo, "Yes, it must not be sent by Zhan Yuan .”

"You, come here!" Ran Luo found the waiter who delivered the flowers before, and called him over.

"Sir, how can I help you?"

"Did you send this flower just now?"

"Yes, sir."

"Who told you to send it?"

"It seems to be called... war..."

"Zhan Yuan?"

"Yes, it's called Zhanyuan."

"I see."

The flowers fell with the end of the words, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

Qiao Yuxi had long understood Ran Luo's feelings for Zhan Yuan, but he did not expect that Ran Luo's affection would be so deep.

The young man who hadn't even touched alcohol drank most of the bottle of red wine, squatted on the side of the road crying and laughing, and threw up a mess.

"Feather, I really like him. I have been working hard, trying to make achievements for him to see. I tried my best to get his attention, but he always ignored me...Since he didn't care about me, why did he turn to me in the first place?" To provoke me..."

"Ran Luo, I will accompany you to find Zhan Yuan to ask clearly, Zhan Yuan can't treat you like this, there must be some misunderstanding."

"There is no misunderstanding. He must think that I am a shameless person, and has always treated me as a joke. I am the one who made the scum, and I made the scum... Yuxi, you go, leave me alone."

Ran Luo pushed aside Qiao Yuxie who was supporting him, and staggered back a few steps.

"Ran Luo, I'll take you back."

"No, really no, I beg you, Yuxie, please leave me alone, I don't want to be treated as a joke."

"Ran Luo, listen." Qiao Yuxi hugged Ran Luo's shoulders, "No matter whether a relationship is humble or noble, no one has the right to laugh at it."

"Wow!" Ran Luo stared blankly at Qiao Yuxi for a while, then suddenly lay on his shoulder, crying loudly.

Qiao Yuxi hugged him and gently stroked his back.

A 16-year-old boy who has lived in the dark for five or six years, a boy with a beautiful and pure heart, cried out of breath when faced with the rejection of his beloved.

Ran Luo's grievance and helplessness were conveyed so clearly that Qiao Yuxi also had the urge to cry.

Send Ran Luo home, but did not see Zhan Yuan.This house is just one of their residences, but apart from here, Qiao Yuxi doesn't know anything else, so he can only call Zhan Yuan's cell phone.

shutdown.This was something Qiao Yuxi did not expect.

He couldn't leave the sleepy Ran Luo alone, so he took the blanket and made a living on the sofa.

In the dead of night, he remembered the purpose of meeting Ran Luo today.From the current point of view, we can only let it go.
