"Miss, what's your surname? Please come sit here and I'll pour you a glass of water." Qin Shiyu asked Wang Xiaoru to sit down in the store, and then went to the water dispenser to pour him water.

"My name is Wang Xiaoru. I won't drink the water. I have other things to do. If I have a chance next time, I will come here to chat with you." Wang Xiaoru smiled and called Qin Shiyu, who was about to pour herself some water.

.

Afterwards, Bai Xi and Qin Shiyu sent Wang Xiaoru out of the flower shop. Looking at the back of this beautiful woman with a gentle and gentle temperament, they couldn't help but have an idea in their minds at the same time.

"This woman is beautiful and has a good temperament. She can't be the boss's girlfriend, right?!!!"

Seeing Wang Xiaoru turn a corner and disappear at the far corner of the street, Qin Shiyu retracted her gaze, turned to look at Bai Xi beside her and said.

"Bai Xi, what should we do next? Now that the boss is away, most of the spiritual plants in our store have been sold.

In another month and a half, all the spiritual plants in our store will be sold out, and by then, there will be nothing left to sell in the store."

Bai Xi scratched her head. She didn't know what to do now, because the potted Ganoderma lucidum plants in the store were all transformed by Lin Fei using his supernatural powers. If Lin Fei is not here now, there is no way to replace them if the store is out of stock.

Goods.

When Qin Shiyu saw that Bai Xi was helpless, she sighed slightly in her heart and then said.

"Take it one step at a time! I hope the boss can come back before the spiritual plants in our store are sold out... If he can't come back after the goods are sold out, then we will have to temporarily close the store and go out of business for a while.

"

"It can only be like this." Bai Xi nodded. The two of them didn't feel much pressure about closing the business.

Because both of them have saved a considerable amount of money during their working time, even if they are unable to continue doing business and receive wages because the store is closed, they can rely on their own small treasury to sustain themselves for a long, long time.

After Wang Xiaoru said goodbye to Lin Fei's two employees, the smiling expression on her face disappeared instantly, and then a look of sadness lingered between her eyebrows.

"Hey, Lin Fei has been missing for almost a month." A sigh full of sadness resounded in Wang Xiaoru's heart. Just like that, she walked to the subway station in the distance while thinking about Lin Fei.

…………

Qingxi Town.

Zhou Yue’s hometown community.

"Click."

"boom."

Zhou Yue's father, Zhou Yang, returned home from school, took off his shoes at the entrance, put on indoor slippers and walked into the living room.

"Honey, is dinner almost ready?" Zhou Yang asked Zhou Yue's mother, Lu Yunping, who was busy in the kitchen.

"It's almost ready. Once the last dish is fried, you can have dinner." Lu Yunping, who was pouring oil into the pot, said to her husband.

Zhou Yang nodded, and then went to the bathroom to wash his hands. Because the last dish Lu Yunping fried was small green vegetables, it was very fast. When Zhou Yang came out of the bathroom after washing his hands, he could finish his meal in a short while.

"Eat more meat, you have lost weight recently." Lu Yunping put a large piece of sweet and sour pork ribs in her husband's bowl and said.

"Yeah." Zhou Yang nodded and ate the dinner cooked by his wife in silence.

"You said that stinky girl Zhou Yue hasn't called me for a long time. She really doesn't leave anyone alone! I wonder if she still has me as her mother in her heart." Lu Yunping poured herself a bowl of soup and said.

When his daughter was mentioned, the conversation started. Zhou Yang, who was immersed in eating, swallowed the food in his mouth and told his wife that his daughter was a woman who left no one behind. He immediately defended her.

"What kind of daughter is leaving no one behind? If you don't know how to use the words, don't use them randomly. My daughter is not married and she is not biased towards outsiders.

You said she doesn't have you as a mother in her heart, how is that possible! She didn't specially prepare a birthday gift for you on your birthday before, and it's not like you didn't receive it."

When Lu Yunping saw that her husband was protecting her daughter, she immediately curled her lips and said, "What's wrong with saying a few words to her? As a mother, can't I still say a few words to my own daughter? I see how distressed you are..."

"Um...I didn't say you can't say a few words to her, I'm just discussing the matter!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.

"If you miss your daughter, why would you call her and tell me all this?"

When Lu Yunping was exposed by her husband that she missed her daughter, she did not hide it and spoke frankly.

"I miss her a little bit, you stinky girl. I'll call her later."

Zhou Yang, who was eating, picked up the spoon and took a sip of the soup. Suddenly he thought of someone and immediately said to his wife.

"By the way, when you call Xiaoyue later, ask her how things are going between her and that young man Lin Fei."

"Yeah." Lu Yunping was not surprised that her husband mentioned the matter between her daughter and Lin Fei, because the couple were not fools. As a parent, she could guess her daughter's behavior at a glance.

thought.

"Last time Xiaoyue said that she was on a business trip to Tianhai City and might not be able to come back until the year before. When you call later, ask her if she won't be able to come back until the next year?" Zhou Yang said.

.

Lu Yunping nodded and suddenly had an idea, "You said I will call Xiaoyue later. Do you want to mention it to her and ask her to ask Lin Fei to come to our house to celebrate the New Year this year?"

When he heard his wife say that he wanted his daughter to bring Lin Fei to his home for the New Year, Zhou Yang stopped for a moment, thought about it seriously, nodded, and said.

"Yes, yes, Lin Fei is alone during the New Year. It's okay to ask him to come to our house to celebrate the New Year, but... Xiaoyue is afraid that she will be embarrassed to ask others to come to our house to celebrate the New Year."

Whenever she thought of her daughter's slow pace and almost no progress, Lu Yunping sighed and said with a feeling of resentment that iron cannot become steel.

"This stinky girl usually brags in front of me that she is not looking for a boyfriend, but she just hasn't met someone she likes yet. Once she does, she will take action without hesitation and win him over easily.

The result? Now that I have met him, I am interested in him, but he is timid.

Really, it’s all your fault, if she were like me, she would have already concluded an agreement with that young man Lin Fei.”

"Cough cough cough..."

Zhou Yang, who was drinking soup, choked immediately when he heard what his wife said. He quickly took out a tissue from the paper box, wiped his mouth, and said to his wife helplessly.

"Wife, when you talk about your daughter, just talk about your daughter. Why do you want to involve me?"

Lu Yunping said angrily, "Why can't it be related to you? Think about it, wasn't this what you were like back then?

You obviously like me, but you are so nagging and want me to take the initiative to question you."

"Uh..." When Zhou Yang saw his wife mentioning the scene when they were in college and confirmed their relationship, he couldn't refute it.

"I was about to ask you out and ask you, but unexpectedly, you asked me first..." After thinking for a while, Zhou Yang hesitated and said something, obviously lacking in confidence.

"..." Lu Yunping silently gave her husband a look, then picked up the chopsticks, picked up another piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, and put it in her husband's bowl.

…………

Tianhai City.

After the October long holiday, the weather has been sunny and clear, and it was not until the end of the month that the sunny weather changed.

The sun was still shining brightly in the morning, but in the evening when I was about to get off work, a dark cloud suddenly floated in the sky, covering a large area of ​​Tianhai City.

"Boom..."

The dark clouds, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly sounded a burst of thunder.

Brilliant silver-white thunder and lightning flashed in the dark clouds.

Gulu

The bright silver-white lightning that flashed from time to time, and the thunder that resounded throughout the world, announced to the citizens of Tianhai City that a heavy downpour was about to fall in Tianhai City.

"Da da da……"

Zhou Yue, with her long wavy hair hanging loosely on her shoulders, wearing a white shirt on her upper body, a straight black skirt on her lower body, a pair of low heels, and dazzling work clothes, walked out of the Vitality Gym.

Her slim figure set off her ordinary work clothes with infinite charm. When Zhou Yue walked out of the company, she attracted the attention of countless passers-by and became the most eye-catching person on the street in an instant.

"call……"

A gust of wind suddenly blew, blowing the hair of pedestrians walking on the road.

Zhou Yue, who had long hair shawl, raised her hand and brushed her wind-blown hair. She wore a white watch on her white Hao wrist.

After straightening his hair that was messed up by the wind, he looked at the white watch on his wrist.

"There is still some time, hurry up and get there." Zhou Yue whispered to herself.

"Boom..."

The thunder exploded, attracting the attention of everyone on the road, including Zhou Yue. She raised her head and looked up at the sky, her brows suddenly furrowed.

"Oh, it's going to rain. If we go there to line up, it won't be good if it rains in the middle."

After thinking for a while, Zhou Yue did not give up her original plan, and then she turned around and walked towards the pastry shop she was going to.

…………

"Boom..."

"Wow, wow, wow..."

There was lightning and thunder, and huge raindrops fell from the dark clouds, hitting the ground, the glass windows, the road, and the cars passing by.

"call……"

The wind was strong and the rain was pouring. The originally lively streets suddenly became deserted, and people on the road looked for places to take shelter from the rain.

"Click."

"boom."

Zhou Yue, whose clothes were slightly wet, returned to the hotel where she stayed.

When she returned to her guest room, she immediately turned on the lights in the room.

Bright lights dispel darkness and make the whole room brighter.

"Huh..." Zhou Yue took a deep breath and raised her hand to brush her hair that was wet from the rain. Then she walked into the living room and placed a bag of freshly baked breads she bought on the coffee table.

"drop……"

Pick up the air conditioner remote control and turn on the air conditioner. Although the temperature in Tianhai City is no longer hot at the end of October, the weather is dull due to rain. If you turn on the air conditioner, the room will be much cooler.

Zhou Yue, who had some of her clothes soaked by the heavy rain, immediately returned to her bedroom after turning on the air conditioner, took her clothes and took a shower.

After a while.

Zhou Yue, wearing a pink tube top bath towel and a white scarf on her head, walked out of the mist-filled bathroom.

Go to the living room, turn on the TV, and sit down on the sofa.

She wiped her wet hair with a white headscarf while watching the news on the TV.

"According to the latest news from this station, the peaches grown by the mutated peach tree in Rongcheng may mature before the year..."

The TV screen switched to the canopy of a mutated peach tree, with green peaches the size of footballs hanging on those branches.

Zhou Yue, who was wiping her wet hair with a white scarf, looked at the big green peaches on the TV, and her thoughts couldn't help but wander, remembering what someone said to her.

"Don't worry! When the peaches are ripe, I will find a way to get a few for you and Xiaoru to try..."

The scene of Lin Fei chatting with him suddenly came to mind. Zhou Yue, who was wiping her hair with a white scarf, couldn't help but pause for a moment, and then her beautiful eyebrows tightened slightly, with a worried look on her face.

.

"It's been almost a month, and there's still no news from the Superpower Management Bureau. Alas..."

Just when Zhou Yue frowned and sighed, her cell phone on the sofa rang.

"Dinglingling..."

The sudden ringing of the cell phone dispelled Zhou Yue's worries a little.

While wiping her wet hair with a white scarf with one hand, she took the phone with her free left hand and glanced at the caller ID on the phone screen.

"Is it mom?"

Seeing that the call was from her mother, Zhou Yue immediately answered the call.

"Hello."

"Baby girl, if I don't call you, are you going to stop calling me? Do you no longer have me as your mother in your heart?"

As soon as Zhou Yue answered the phone, she was scolded by her mother Lu Yunping on the other side of the phone.

"Mom, what are you talking about? How could I not have you in my heart? I miss you every day before going to bed!" Zhou Yue put away the worry on her face and said to her mother with a smile.

"Really?!" Lu Yunping didn't quite believe what her daughter said.

"Of course!" Zhou Yue said with a smile.

"That's pretty much it." Lu Yunping said happily, "I checked your weather forecast today and it said that cold air is about to hit. In the next few days, the temperature in Tianhai City will drop sharply.

You should be careful in Tianhai City and remember to put on thicker clothes when you go out to avoid catching a cold."

"Yeah." Zhou Yue nodded.

"Also, remember to eat on time when you go out..."

"Um."

"Go to bed early at night and don't play on your phone too late."

"Um……"

The mother and daughter talked and answered each other, and most of the time it was the mother, Lu Yunping, who was unilaterally telling her daughter what she should do, what she shouldn't do, what she should pay attention to, don't let anything happen to her, etc...
