corner flower shop

The cold wind whizzed past, rolling up the dead leaves that fell on the ground, and the surrounding area was so quiet that only the creaking of the basement security door could be heard.

Lu Jie was also a little surprised when he saw Pei Yiqing, his face that had been stern for a whole day finally became turbulent, "Why are you here?"

And Pei Yiqing also wanted to ask this question.

He glanced at the basement through the gap that Lu Jie vacated, and there was indeed no second person, so he was basically sure that his neighbor was Lu Jie.

The neighbor who called him an idiot.

He originally came to apologize. After all, his actions had indeed disturbed the normal life of the neighbors, but when he saw Lu Jie and remembered everything he had experienced today, he couldn't express his embarrassment.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lan Mao took a look at him, then looked at the open flower shop next to him, combined with the smell of flowers and plants on Pei Yiqing's body, he finally realized that something was wrong.

He pointed at the coriander next to him, "Are you the boss here?"

Pei Yiqing pointed to the basement behind him: "You live here?"

Lu Jie: "Yes."

Pei Yiqing paused, and said, "Yes."

"..."

"..."

The scene was very embarrassing.

They looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while.I don't know how long it took, but a passerby coughed lightly, and Pei Yiqing finally woke up like a dream, and said first, "I'm sorry, I thought no one lived here, so I let go of the food and wanted to feed the wild cats, disturbing you gone."

As a businessman, he was used to politeness, but whether he thought so was another matter.He doesn't like dealing with people like Lu Jie, so he uses this seemingly gentle way to deal with the problem, the purpose is just to never have anything to do with him again.

But the roads are different. People like them are used to solving problems with violence, and they use two punches if they can't solve it with one punch.So when Pei Yiqing said this apology, he was a little surprised.

He coughed lightly, looked at Pei Yiqing and said, "I shouldn't call you an idiot either."

This sentence was very sincere, even more sincere than when he asked in the hospital if he needed to send Pei Yiqing home, but it was a little strange to hear it in Pei Yiqing's ears.He nodded and didn't want to say more, turned around and prepared to go back to the flower shop.

Seeing him leave, Lu Jie wanted to say something, but finally gave up.He could feel that the two of them disliked each other, and even though he finally had a little spark of guilt because of his conscience, he still felt that it would be better to extinguish it.

He stood there for a while, and finally closed the door.

Pei Yiqing walked more simply and neatly. He moved a few pots of flowers into the shop and closed the door.Before leaving, he glanced back at the basement, and then left in the other direction.

After returning home, he simply wiped his face, then took off his shirt and stood in front of the full-length mirror.He turned his back to look at the bruise on his body, that part had turned purple in some places, mixed with the color of iodophor, it looked like an oil painting.

He picked up his pajamas and was about to change into them, when the mobile phone on the table rang suddenly.Pei Yiqing just glanced at the screen casually, but the movements of his hands suddenly became chaotic, touching the wound on his back, causing him to gasp in pain.

He put on his clothes and connected the phone: "Hello? Mom."

"You still know how to answer the phone? I think you don't even remember that there is such a home." The female voice over there was obviously cold, but it sounded very sharp in Pei Yiqing's ears.

He sat on the chair and made himself a cup of coffee and said, "I have something to do in the afternoon."

"I have something to do, I'm busy until the New Year and I won't come back." There was a sneer.

Hearing that Pei Yiqing closed his eyes, he really didn't go home during the Spring Festival, partly because the flower shop was really busy during the holidays, and partly because he didn't want to go back.

And he also knew that his mother was not angry because he didn't go home for the Spring Festival, but because the Spring Festival was very close to that day.

Sure enough, my mother paused for a while, with some soreness in her voice: "Do you remember what the day after tomorrow is?"

Very dramatically, Pei Yiqing raised his head and saw his own calendar, on which he had crossed out all the past days, and the latest one was only one day away from the red marked day.

He took a deep breath and said calmly: "I said it, I remember it, and I haven't forgotten it."

"Of course you can't forget!"

As soon as the voice fell, the mother over there seemed to know that her tone was a bit strong, so she said calmly, "Come back early the day after tomorrow."

After speaking, the phone was disconnected.

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Pei Yiqing put the phone aside, relaxed his body, breathed slowly and closed his eyes.After so many years, he has long been used to such an alternative family relationship. Before, he would find it difficult to relieve his emotions, but now he can filter out all the words he hears.

He took a deep breath, let it out, took another breath, and let it out.

Inhale - exhale - inhale -

At this moment, he was glad that he didn't have any plants in his home, otherwise, with Pei Yiqing's strength to inhale oxygen, he and the flowers and plants could only live alone in this room.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hahahahahahahaha, no, what kind of fate is this for you?"

During practice the next day, Daniel lay on the sofa laughing for more than ten minutes after learning about Lu Jie's experience, and finally said: "Didn't that man hit you when he heard your apology?"

Lu Jie glanced at him with the guitar as a warning.

Seeing this, Daniel sat up straighter, gave a thumbs up and said, "Sure enough, they are high-quality people."

Lu Jie was too lazy to chat with him and said, "Get up, start practicing."

Everyone practiced his song yesterday, and it is generally very good, and the style fits their band very well, but some changes are still needed.

Huzi, the drummer in the team, objected to their changes: "Should we..."

"No." Lu Jie interrupted him very simply.

Hat and Daniel sitting on the side glanced at each other.

The repertoire of their album this time is very varied. There are love songs, slow songs, rap songs, and rock songs, all of which are written by Yu Lu.But underground bands have some "hidden rules" - the more open the lyrics, the more eye-catching they are.

Now the general environment is very impetuous, a song always has a few sensational points, such as a catchy melody, or a high note at the beginning.And some underground bands are opportunistic, often including some private goods in the lyrics.

To put it simply, the more you play, the hotter you become, and the more you swear, the more the audience thinks you are pulling.

But they all knew that Lu Jie didn't like this way.

Da Niu saw that the atmosphere was a bit stiff, so he laughed and said: "Let's discuss and discuss, and there is no rush."

"Yes, yes, let's not worry." The hat received the signal and carefully looked at his brother Lu's face.

And Lu Jie glanced at them, didn't say any more, and continued to pluck the strings.

Because there is no such thing as asking for money, this practice has been carried out continuously for a whole day. By the end of the day, everyone is almost tired and falling apart. After Lu Jie packed up his things, he was called by the big cow when he was about to leave. live.

"Don't worry about what Huzi said," Daniu took out a cigarette and lit it, "he's just high-spirited, and he feels that he hasn't eaten any bonus for so long, so he's in a hurry."

Huzi joined their band the year before, and at the beginning, like all newcomers who joined the team, he had a good vision for everything.But a year later, their team is still half-baked, so they are impetuous.

Amid the smog, Lu Jie looked at the endless stream of vehicles and said, "Do you agree with me doing this?"

Hearing this, Daniel was stunned, the cigarette ash fell on his cuff and he forgot to dust it off, and said in surprise, "You actually told me this?!"

"Why?" Lu Jie asked back.

"No, it's the first time I saw you asking for my opinion." Daniel blew his nose, pretending to be dignified, "I'm touched, I always thought I was your horse boy."

Lu Jie: "Get lost."

The little daze that appeared in Lu Jie's heart just now disappeared because of what Daniu said. He glanced at the other party, and Daniu quickly put away his smile and said very seriously: "Brother, I invited you in because I admire you, you're different from everyone else. So don't doubt yourself, just close your fucking eyes and fuck, fuck."

His slightly rude answer gave Lu Jie another chance, he didn't care what Hu Zi thought, he only cared about Daniel and Mao Mao.

Seeing Daniel's rough and sincere smile, Lu Jie finally nodded and said, "Understood, Ma Zi."

"Damn, it's only a second to be sensational." Daniel threw the cigarette butt on the ground, raised his foot and stomped on it.

Seeing the sporadic flames that had been extinguished, Lu Jie added: "Thank you."

"you are welcome."

Pei Yiqing handed over the bouquet and sent away the last guest of the day.Although the doctor told him that he must rest, he would not be able to find a suitable substitute for a while, so he had to do it himself.

So at the end of the day, his whole body was sore, but the pain from the wound seemed insignificant.

Yesterday Xiaowei participated in the account book checking, and today she was able to learn it without a teacher. Pei Yiqing watched her calculate and corrected some small mistakes from time to time, so she was relieved to let her take care of it.

And he sat on the side to process tomorrow's order, and Xiaowei had already left the store after everything was done.

He wanted to stretch very much now, but when he raised his hand, it was very sore.He got up and took out the medicine prescribed by the doctor before from the cabinet. There was a spray bottle in it, and just spraying it could restore a man's true colors.But just as the doctor said, his injuries were all on his back and happened to be on the right side, so it was very difficult.

At this moment, he heard the wind chime at the door behind him, turned his head and saw Lu Jie standing at the door.

"You..." Pei Yiqing stood up and looked at him.

And Lu Jie maintained the posture of pulling the door. He was just passing by and saw Pei Yiqing applying medicine by the way.Thinking of the source of the opponent's injury and the previous series of oolongs, he prepared to enter Xianxian's door.

But as soon as he touched the handle, he remembered the unfriendly atmosphere between the two before, and was about to leave.Unexpectedly, he touched the wind chime at the door, and the man in the shop turned around immediately after.

The two looked at each other, Lu Jie glanced at the medicine in his hand, and the words on his lips turned around again: "I... borrow a toilet."
