Tang Zhou turned around suddenly and knocked the medicine bottle from Shen Zhixi's hand over his shoulder.
The medicine bottle rolled gurglingly on the ground, rolled under the opposite window sill, and stopped only after hitting the corner.
"sorry."
"sorry."
Shen Zhixi and Tang Zhou apologized together.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Tang. I offended you, but I didn't mean anything else. I just wanted to let the ointment on my back dry quickly, otherwise my clothes would be stained when I put them on. I... I'll pick up the bottle."
She walked away quickly, making Tang Zhou feel guilty again.
He understood that she meant well, but his reaction was such that she misunderstood him. Could she think that he disliked her contact and didn't want her to touch him?
While deep in thought, Shen Zhixi went to the window and spoke.
"This flowerpot..."
Tang Zhou thought about it and thought of the pot of flowers he knocked down last night.
"Is the flower pot cracked? I'm sorry, Miss Lily of the Valley, I accidentally knocked over the flower pot when I opened the window last night. I didn't hear the cracking sound and thought it was okay."
"It's not cracked." Shen Zhixi came back with the flower pot in his arms and sat down at the table. "It turned out that I dropped it once. I said there was something wrong with it. The flower pot was not cracked, but the soil was a little loose. It's not in the way. of. "
After saying that, he looked at Tang Zhou nervously and asked, "What about you, are you not hurt?"
Looking back, Tang Zhou was pulling up his clothes lightly.
"No." He covered his chest tightly, pulled on his belt and tied it, and repeated, "I'm not hurt."
Shen Zhixi curled his lips and retracted his eyes, and replied softly: "That's good, as long as you're not hurt. No one is important in the flowerpot. It doesn't matter even if it's cracked."
After fastening his belt, Tang Zhou got up from the bed and walked towards her.
The room was not big, and he was already familiar with the layout of the tables and chairs in the room. He easily reached the table and sat down holding on to the tabletop.
"What kind of flower is this?" he asked.
Shen Zhixi lowered his head to clean up the mound of soil, wiped off the mud on the outside of the flowerpot, and replied: "Lily of the valley, this is the lily of the valley flower. Have you seen it before?"
"I've heard of it but never seen it. Not many people grow this kind of flower."
"Yes, people love to raise flowers that symbolize wealth and good luck, such as peonies, peonies, chrysanthemums, etc. My mother likes lily of the valley, so she named me Lily of the Valley. After my mother passed away three years ago, I also started to fall in love with lily of the valley. My mother said that the meaning of lily of the valley is happiness."
She clapped her hands and wiped the dirt off them.
Turning her head, Tiantian smiled at him and said: "Each bunch of lily of the valley branches can basically grow more than ten buds. If they bloom well, a large pot can grow hundreds of buds, and each one is not very big. , but looking at it does give me a sense of fruitful happiness.”
"Can you touch it and feel it?"
Eager to share, she actually grabbed his hand and took his left hand to gently cover the petals of the lily of the valley.
Although he was calm on the surface, there were actually ripples in his heart.
She wanted to touch the flower last night but never did. Now that she actually touched it, she held his hand and touched it. The memory of her falling on him yesterday hit her even more fiercely.
He still felt offended and awkward, and instinctively wanted to stop, but he was more afraid that she would misunderstand him again.
"Have you felt the richness of the buds?" Shen Zhixi asked with a hidden smile.
"Yeah." Tang Zhou nodded.
He could naturally feel the flower buds passing by in his palm.
Shen Zhixi held on to his hand and held his other hand on the table, supporting his chin. Although his hand was wandering around the lily of the valley flowers, his eyes were fixed on Tang Zhou's face, and he tilted his head slightly. He closed his eyes, and his face became a little more charming.
"Actually, lily of the valley has another flower meaning, called..."
"I have turned around a thousand times just to meet you."
Hearing this, Tang Zhou was obviously startled.
His unnaturalness made Shen Zhixi's eyes heat up, and the palms against the back of his hands also seemed to be hot, so hot that he couldn't help but retract his hands.
But his expression was really calm, and even if he felt uncomfortable, it would only last for a moment, and he would immediately return to normal.
"However, I don't understand what this means. Mr. Tang, do you understand?"
Tang Zhou lowered his eyes and shook his head gently.
"It doesn't matter." Shen Zhixi looked at him with watery eyes, like rippling spring water, "When your eyes heal and you see the lily of the valley with your own eyes, you might understand that Young Master Tang knows nothing better than me. Village girls need to be smart."
Tang Zhou rolled his eyes, smiled politely and changed the topic.
"I only know Miss Suzuran's name, but I don't know your last name? It doesn't mean anything else. It's just the name of your savior. You should remember it carefully."
Shen Zhixi supported the table and held his face in his hands.
Is he becoming curious about her?
This is a good thing. Often the first step to being attracted to someone is curiosity. To like someone is to involuntarily want to know everything about the other person.
This is a good sign.
"My surname is Bai, and I take my mother's surname. As for my father, I haven't seen him since I was born. He is a heartless person. He betrayed my mother and doesn't even want his own flesh and blood."
This statement is indeed half true.
Her mother also passed away, but not three years ago, but two years ago.
Now that I have decided to lie, I always want to cheat harder. The less real information I give him, the more unnecessary entanglements and troubles can be avoided in the future.
"So...that's it."
Tang Zhou's tone was very apologetic. He understood that it was not easy for a woman in this world, and it was even more difficult for a woman who was abandoned and raised a child alone. Their family was not a wealthy family, so one could imagine what kind of life they lived. We were already in dire straits, but now it was because of him...
"Miss Suzuli, I will definitely repay you in the future."
If he has the chance to go back in the future, he will definitely repay her with gold and silver, and he will definitely help the sisters live a good life.
He said it solemnly, but Shen Zhixi didn't care.
Anyway, she has the final say on how he should repay him.
"If you really want to repay me, then take good care of yourself, otherwise it will all be empty talk." She moved her fingers and plucked the petals of the lily of the valley in front of her, with a smile on her face.
"Okay, I will." Tang Zhou nodded sincerely.
"Also." Shen Zhixi raised his eyebrows and said in a charming voice: "You don't want to call me girl anymore. It seems too cute. Just call me Linglan. We have to get along for a while. .What do you think, Tang Zhou?"
This was also the first time she formally called him by his name.
But Tang Zhou still felt guilty after hearing this.
He felt that Miss Suzuran treated her sincerely, but even the name he told her was false.
He felt guilty, but also knew the seriousness of the matter.
Once his identity is revealed, their sisters will also suffer disaster.
At least, now is not the time to tell the truth.
"Okay." He could only respond seriously. He looked in her direction with his shining eyes and said softly, "It's up to you."
