corner flower shop

The rose was bumped by someone, and a few petals fell off.

Because of the bad security in this area, Pei Yiqing seldom took this alley, but he had to take this short-cut because his brain hurt from being yelled at by the song of howling ghosts and wolves just now.

Along the way, he was thinking about the events that happened in this area, so when the other party bumped into him, he still conditionedly stopped.

Robbery?

He still has a few thousand yuan left in his mobile phone, but he doesn't know if WeChat payment is supported now.

When he looked over, what caught his eyes was this man with gray-blue hair, who was about seventeen or eighteen years old. Because of the angle, he couldn't see his face clearly. He only heard the other party say coldly: "Sorry."

Just as he was about to speak, he saw another person walking behind this person, who also looked like a young man, but his face was covered with tears, and he chased after Lan Mao with a deeply affectionate and rainy expression.

Pei Yiqing immediately understood what was going on, so he turned sideways and let the two walk out of the alley first.

Looking at their backs, Pei Yiqing took a few more steps into the alley, and when he got home and took out the key to open the door, he belatedly remembered——

It was just two boys, right?

He paused slightly as he took the key, then shrugged indifferently, opened the door and walked in.

The first thing he did when he got home was to deal with roses. He always felt that if he grew flowers in his home, it was the same as the homeroom teacher who had to help students with their homework, so he, a flower shop owner, had no potted plants in his home. Plug the roses with a mineral water bottle.

He put the crude vase on the coffee table, and then sank into the sofa by the way.The popularity of business during the holidays made him feel like he was falling apart, and he didn't want to do anything.

Just as he closed his eyes, the phone in his pocket vibrated twice.To be precise, his hand was shaking all the time today, but he didn't have time to look at it.

"Hey..." He sighed and took out his phone.

Most of them are people who make an appointment to order flowers or consult, and the questions they ask are all kinds of strange. Some people don’t like the full refund after getting the flowers, and some need him to be by the side when the other party puts on the ring on the day of the proposal. flowery...

Pei Yiqing took a deep breath, and it took more than ten minutes for the other party to understand that he was not a wedding company, and finally ended the topic "satisfactorily".

He exited the chat box, swiped across the message list, and found a message sent a few hours ago——

Zhou You: [Have you eaten? ]

Seeing this, Pei Yiqing smiled silently, and turned back: [Eat. ]

Within a few minutes, the other party's voice call came over. Pei Yiqing pressed answer and speakerphone, and placed it on the table.

Zhou You's voice came from the microphone: "Do you leave work so late?"

"Yes," Pei Yiqing yawned, looking at the night scene outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Valentine's Day overtime, you probably have the first job." Zhou You's voice sounded gloating.

"It's better than if you have a partner." After being ridiculed for so many years, Pei Yi didn't care early in the morning. He got up and poured a glass of water from the coffee table, "How is it? Does your girlfriend still like it?"

When talking about this, Zhou You smiled even more happily: "That's right, who wouldn't like the flowers chosen and wrapped by Mr. Pei himself?"

Hearing this, Pei Yiqing snorted disdainfully, and reminded: "Then you promised me, don't forget."

"I know, I know, come tomorrow."

I greeted the guests with smiles all day, and it's not bad to talk about it occasionally, so Pei Yiqing didn't end the conversation, and asked idly: "What are you doing? You're still up so late?"

"Stop talking, Ke Ke's best friend was dumped by her boyfriend today. Ke Ke and I were having a happy candlelight dinner, and her best friend called. I followed her to her best friend's house and listened to her howl all night. Just got home."

Perhaps it was because of his displeasure that Zhou You's word order was a bit chaotic, Pei Yiqing couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard his tragic experience, and nestled on the sofa without moving for a long time.

The other party kept complaining: "You said that these people really owe you, when can't you mention it, you have to break up on Valentine's Day..."

Having said that, Pei Yiqing shifted his gaze to the rose in the mineral water bottle.The touch of blue under the dim light seemed to flash across his eyes, combined with the other party's insincere apology, Pei Yiqing nodded.

It is indeed a little owed.

They chatted aimlessly for a while, and finally ended the conversation when Pei Yiqing and his eyelids were so tired that they were fighting.

He got up drowsily and went into the bathroom, tidying himself up indiscriminately.The heat made him even more sleepy. He walked into the bedroom in two or three steps and turned on the air conditioner and humidifier, and felt refreshed again after lying on the bed.

So he had no choice but to turn on the bedside lamp, and randomly took a few books from the study to read.

The mist from the humidifier drifted to the floor-to-ceiling windows, covering the already hazy night with a layer of tulle.

"Three hundred a month," the landlord held a large bunch of keys in his hand, and yawned louder than a horn, "Don't look at the air leak in this door, it's actually very big inside, you can move in and install a small door when the time comes. You can’t find such a big and cheap place in the whole city for tens of dollars.”

Lu Jie frowned, his face was a little uncomfortable.

The result of Jia Wei's pretentiousness is that he took everything away in a chic way, and then there was nowhere to go.

That rental house was the most cost-effective place he picked out by shopping around, so he paid a year's rent in one go.And the only performance that the troupe received recently was the one on Valentine's Day tonight, and the money hadn't come down yet, so he didn't have any other money to rent a house at all.

Although the basement is a bit dilapidated, it is still big enough as the landlord said. As long as the iron door at the door is blocked, mice can't get in at all. It's not a problem to live in it for a month.But it can only be used for sleeping, and to go to the toilet, you have to go to the public toilet hundreds of meters away.

Being called to rent an apartment in the middle of the night is already unpleasant, and the blue-haired boy was hesitant, so the landlord said impatiently: "I can't live, I can't afford 300 yuan a month, you can directly Go under the flyover and make a pavement."

After the words fell, he directly met Lan Mao's eyes. It has to be said that although this kid looks young, he has an innate gangster air all over his body, gloomy.

The cold wind was blowing on his face, and when he was thinking about whether to run left or right when the fight started, the blue hair looked away: "I'll rent it."

The following process is very fast. After all, there is nothing to pay attention to for the transaction of 300 yuan, and the direct transfer to the key can be solved in one go.The landlord was stopped by the other party to help carry the luggage for a while, and he saw that there were some music equipment in the big and small bags.

And Lanmao put those musical instruments in the basement very preciously, and some discarded newspapers were placed underneath.

Pay attention to poverty.

The landlord shook his head disdainfully before leaving.

After he left, Lu Jie checked all the music equipment, and after confirming that there was no damage, he sat in the basement and stared blankly for a long time.

The cell phone in his pocket kept ringing, and he didn't need to look to know when it was sent by Jia Wei——

[Don't break up, okay? ]

[After so many years, I'm really not used to it. ]

[I packed up my things and left, why don't you go back to the rental house? ]

Lu Jie took a deep breath, didn't reply, turned around and dragged Jia Wei into the blacklist.He threw the phone aside, took out a cigarette and wanted to light it, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find a lighter, so he had to give up and planned to get something to block the gap in the iron door first.

The landlord left some unwanted cardboard boxes, paved the road one by one at the door, and found that as long as the gaps were sealed, the only light source in the basement would disappear.He came suddenly, the lights here hadn't been installed yet, and the whole basement was so dark that it was impossible to see anything as soon as the cardboard boxes filled it.

"Hold."

He slammed the paper shell on the ground, making a moderate noise.

It was already one o'clock in the morning, and he didn't expect to sleep well tonight, so he raised his hand and opened the iron door and walked out.Now there are not many people left outside. When a drunk passed by, he thought the basement was a garbage dump, and he leaned against the wall and prepared to vomit in it.

Lu Jie went over to pull him away, but the man was so drunk that he pushed Lu Jie vigorously and said vaguely: "You...you...what are you doing? ?”

"If you want to vomit to death, vomit."

Lu Jie had a cold face, his current complexion was as ugly as if he had eaten bad food for three months, and he used his last patience to control himself not to throw an elbow.

"I vomit where the hell I like to vomit, what's the matter? Do you live here?" The drunk pointed at him and said, "Not only do I have to vomit here today, but I also have to pee..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt a strong force coming towards his chest, making him retreat several meters undefended.Immediately afterwards, his neck was forced to be pressed in front of a trash can by the side of the road, and his head was only a dozen centimeters away from being able to directly have intimate contact with the food waste inside.

There was another force in his stomach, and the sour smell in the trash can made him almost gag, and he vomited before he could react.

"Come on, let me vomit for you," Lu Jie pressed his head and looked down at him, "Have you finished vomiting yet?"

The people under him nodded repeatedly, and he let go of his hand and kicked the drunk man, who fell directly onto the tree next to the trash can.

It's not over yet, very few people hit Lu Jie's muzzle and get away unscathed.He walked up to the drunk man in two or three steps, grabbed the other man's hair and said, "Didn't you say you still need to pee? Do you want me to help you? My hands are frozen in winter and I can't control my strength. What kind of problem did you cause?" Don't blame me."

His voice matched the cold wind, making people shudder, and the drunk repeatedly shook his head and said, "No pee, no pee..."

Lu Jie let go of the hand that was holding his hair, and took a few steps back. The drunk got up from the ground and ran towards the other side.

The streets were empty again, and the road was standing in the cold wind. Because of the exercise just now, the cold like needle pricks all over my body finally eased a lot.For a moment, he felt that he was awesome, as if he had returned to the little bully who had beaten all the invincible opponents in the orphanage a few years ago.

But when I turned my head and saw the dilapidated basement again, I thought again: Which overlord lives in the valley.

He closed his eyes and looked at the extinguished lights of thousands of households, feeling an indescribable feeling.

But no matter how he can't get used to it, he will live here for a month.He used to sleep under the overpass, at the entrance of the alley, and even in the cash room of the bank. Now he has only lived in a rental house for more than half a year, and he can't accept the gap.

He looked to the side, and the basement where he lived happened to be at the end corner of Yanxi Street, next to a flower shop.The flower shop is well decorated, at least better than the popular store downstairs of his rental house.

When he and Jia Wei passed by before, he would often go inside to have a look, and then buy cheap bouquets to put in the vase.Every morning when he wakes up, he can see Jia Wei standing by the window watering the flowers...

"Hold."

He scolded for an unknown number of times today.

Lu Jie frowned, standing outside for such a long time was enough to quench his blood that had just been ignited by the fight.He walked quickly back to the basement with his hands in his pockets, glancing at the name of the nearby florist before going in.

Yuan Tuo?

What a messy name...
