Chapter 150: Love Shouldn't Be Everything
In the early morning, the door of the flower shop was filled with all kinds of flowers, including hyacinths, roses, carnations... There were water droplets on the leaves and petals, which looked crystal clear in the sun and looked very pleasing to the eye.
The boss’s wife only comes to the store occasionally, so most of the time, only Su Li and Yanli are there. That day, they packed up the store early in the morning and moved chairs to sit together to arrange flowers.
The music flows gently, the sun shines in, and flowers are surrounded by them, as beautiful as the scenes in the anime.
Yanli suddenly asked her, "Have you been in love?"
Su Li shook her head, "No."
Yanli smiled, "You are lying, and your expression cannot be hidden." She said, while picking off a withered leaf. "It is not easy to talk too early, and it is easy to disperse. Not many people can hold on for a long time." She said this and felt sad, "Just like me, I talked about one when I was young, and it was awesome, but now!"
Su Li asked curiously, "What's going on now?"
"It's gone." She smiled bitterly, "I saw a stranger than a stranger on the road!"
Su Li felt depressed and asked after a while, "What caused you to break up?"
"For a while, there was a lot of quarrels, and when I was tired, I got a part." She replied, her tone very lightly, as if she was telling other people's affairs.
But Su Li noticed a hint of loss in her eyes, "Have you never talked about it again?"
"No!" She shook her head, feeling sad.
"Can't you forget him?"
"Not really, I just haven't encountered the right one yet."
"What about him? Do you have a girlfriend?"
"It seems like I have it, I'm about to get married recently." When the last sentence was said, both of them turned pale.
After a long silence, Yanli smiled, "I won't talk about this anymore, it's all over. People have to look towards a beautiful future." As she said that, she raised a bouquet of flowers, "Is it beautiful!"
"Beautiful!" Su Li followed her and smiled brightly.
At this time, a customer came outside the store. He was a boy who looked like sixteen or seventeen years old. He looked young and had a slightly messy hair. He probably was blown by the wind on the way he came.
He stood there and asked shyly, "How much does a bouquet of flowers cost?"
"180." Su Li replied.
The boy scratched his head embarrassedly, "Can you just buy a few?"
Su Li looked at Yanli and asked, "Is that OK?"
Yanli nodded and asked him, "How many flowers do you want?"
The boy thought about it and said with a slightly red face, "Sanduo."
Su Li helped him wrap it up diligently. Thinking of which girl he should give it to, he chose pink wrapping paper, but the other party said, "Give me some elegance, my mother likes white."
Su Li was stunned. It turned out to be given to her mother. She suddenly felt ashamed. She had been immersed in love recently and ignored family affection.

When she got off work in the evening, she brought a bouquet of flowers she had put in by herself and presented them to Aunt Qin. Aunt Qin was so happy that she was like a girl who had received flowers for the first time. Her face was slightly red and her eyes were curled with smiles.
Dad said, "As for being so happy, last time I asked you if you wanted to buy flowers, you said you were wasting money."
Aunt Qin said, "What Lili gave is different from what I bought." As she said that, she found a glass bottle to put the flower in. The fragrance of the flower was very light, but it was refreshing enough. She placed it on the TV cabinet, and there was a pleasing scenery in the room, which made people feel happy.
That night, Su Li wrote in her diary, "Love should not be the whole of a person's life. I want to try to get out of that relationship and pay more attention to other people and beauty around me."

In summer, the sun is always very warm early in the morning.
The flower shop goes to work at 8:30, and Su Li gets up at 7:00. Every time she wakes up, there is already sunlight falling from the window. It is golden and makes people unable to open their eyes.
She has been working in a flower shop for a week, she is diligent and serious, and has been recognized by the boss.
Su Li's mood improved, no longer always sad as before. She became much sunny, and sometimes she even hummed a few familiar songs on the road.
It turns out that time can really heal the pain!
On that day, she went to work as usual. Two cleaners on the side of the road were chatting with brooms, as if they were talking about how their children did not cooperate with the blind date. The two children were running around them and making noises, laughing and laughing, which was a strong contrast with their sorrow.
Su Li walked to the bus stop and waited for the bus. A girl next to her was playing music, wearing headphones. Perhaps the quality of the headphones was not good and the singing was heard very clearly.
What she was playing at this moment was a song "Childhood" - on the banyan tree by the pond, cicadas were calling out to summer.
How beautiful is the sunny summer! Some pictures appeared in Su Li's mind. It was also like this summer at that time. The little she and the little Xu Chen ran on the hillside. The kite turned many bends and fell on the treetops. He said to her, "It's okay." He took off his shoes and climbed up to get it.
She stood under the tree and looked up at him, feeling like a hero, omnipotent.
Thinking of this, the phone in her pocket suddenly rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Chen Xi's.
He smiled and pressed the answer button, and Chen Xi on the other side said, "What are you doing?"
“Prepare to work.”
"You're looking for a job again?"
"Yes, in the flower shop." The bus had arrived, and she hurriedly followed her, clamped her phone with her shoulders, took out the two prepared coins from her pocket and threw them in.
Chen Xi didn't know what she said there, but she didn't hear it clearly and asked, "What did you say just now?"
"I said, I'm learning guitar now."
"Guitar? Why don't you continue to learn how to draw?"
"No, I can't learn well without that talent."
"Oh." Su Li grabbed a ring and stood firm, "Why did she suddenly choose the guitar?" She always felt that this instrument was not in line with her.
"There is only this place, no more choices than big cities. But the guitar is also good, so learn it first, maybe you will use it someday."
Su Li nodded without replying.
The other side said, "You have to take advantage of your youth, good memory, and a lot of learning ability. In fact, if you don't lack money, it's better not to work in the summer vacation. You won't make much money in a month. It's just a waste of youth."
Su Li blushed when she was said, and she didn't think so much. She was inexplicably ashamed and said, "I've already found it, so I'll finish this summer vacation first."
"Okay." A noise suddenly came from the other side, and Chen Xi said, "I won't tell you anymore. I'm going to go to class. Please contact me more if I have time."
"Okay, bye."
"Bye-Bye!"
