The fragrance of roses is very fragrant, and the cold wind brings the fragrance to my nose, and my thinking seems to be clearer.
"Why can't I have my fiancé's phone number in my hand?"
Chen Shanshan's voice suddenly rang in my mind.
My bloated stomach seemed to realize that I had eaten too much. After a period of convulsions, I started to retching.
Squatting on the side of the road, I began to vomit violently, until I could only retch out sour water, then I slowly stood up holding my stomach.
"I don't know you, just hang up!"
Lu Xiaohong's voice was pushed straight into my mind.
Fake! It must be fake!
I shook my head, trying to get rid of those sounds, and quickened my pace while my hands unconsciously tore the petals of the rose in my hands.
"Fake!" I said to myself, pulled off a petal and threw it away.
"Really!" I pulled off another petal and threw it away.
Fake...real...fake...
Until I touched the core of the flower, and looked down, there was only the last petal left in my hand.
real……
The core is also part of the flower!
I thought to myself and started to tear off the silky flower cores one by one.
Fake...real...fake...
I continued my boring and silly movements, with my hands like the most dexterous embroiderer, for fear of pulling off one more stamen or one less stamen.
"real--"
I was stunned, and the touch on my hand was no longer soft. I looked down and saw that only a thin branch of a rose was left, with three or four leaves hanging on it.
Fake...real...fake...
I started tearing off the leaves. When the leaves were gone, I started to peel off the sharp thorns on the branches. After the thorns were peeled off, I started to break off the thin branches in my hands piece by piece.
He kept mumbling those four words: Real! Fake!
"real……"
I tried hard to break the last branch between my fingers, but because it was already too short, I couldn't break it into two pieces.
It's just less than two millimeters in length.
The muttering in my mouth still stuck on the word "really".
That's not the case, it must not be!
I felt anxious, so I breathed some energy into my fingertips, and with a slight force, I broke off the extremely short rose branches and turned them into sticky crumbs.
It was only then that my tears suddenly surged out of my eyes like a flood bursting from a dam.
I stared blankly at my already red fingertips. After a few seconds, I started running.
It’s just a flower, how do you know whether it’s true or false?
As I ran, I was thinking, I still have a lot of things to do, and I have to go to Zhang Wenhong's house to deal with things. If I am really deceived by Chen Shanshan's lies, then I will really lose!
Lu Xiaohong loves me so much, how could he become Chen Shanshan's fiancé in just two days?
It’s so funny that I almost believed it!
As I ran, I wiped the tears from my face with my hands, and heard the whistling wind in my ears.
It seems that before I ran a few steps, I was outside the yard of Zhang Wenhong's house.
The rolling shutter door of the pastry shop was closed, and it was dark inside the door. Only a few rays of light in the courtyard peeked over the high courtyard wall to see my embarrassment at this moment.
I didn't want to take out my phone to check the time, for fear that I would be tempted to call Lu Xiaohong again.
The one who was more afraid of answering the phone was still Chen Shanshan.
I slowly leaned my back against the high courtyard wall of Zhang Wenhong's house and looked up at the dark sky.
There is a full moon hanging in the sky, and a few stars are blinking at me.
It was as if something had poked a hole in my heart, and I couldn't calm down. I took a deep breath of cold air, slowly closed my eyes, and let the hot air travel through all the muscles and veins in my body.
Calm down! I must calm down!
I am working and cannot bring unnecessary negative emotions into my work.
If it is not handled properly, it is a matter of life and death!
Gradually, my inexplicable anxiety began to calm down, and I fell into a state of complete emptiness, and the world around me seemed to have nothing to do with me anymore.
I don’t know how long it took, but the rolling shutter door made a series of loud noises, and bright light pierced my eyes.
"Hey, eldest daughter, when did you come here and why didn't you call me aunt?" Zhang Wenhong's voice sounded next to my ears.
I opened my eyes and looked at Zhang Wenhong, feeling dazed for a moment.
"Is it already ten o'clock?" I asked.
"It's just nine o'clock. Tingting will be back soon. I'll come out to pick her up!"
Zhang Wenhong reached out to touch my hand and said in surprise: "Ah, your little hands are so cold, you must have been here for a long time. I was just making cookies in the house, and when you didn't call, I didn't come out to see you!"
"It's okay. I just came here and it's still early for the meeting, so I'm waiting here to see if I find anything." I made a somewhat lame statement.
"Did you notice anything unusual?"
Fortunately, Zhang Wenhong was not suspicious of my words, but instead asked me nervously.
"Maybe it's because it's too early and nothing was found." I forced a smile with some embarrassment.
"Jingle Bell--"
A string of melodious bicycle bells rang in the distance, and a figure riding a bicycle came toward the light from far and near.
It was a girl with a high ponytail and a blue and white school uniform. She had a bulging figure. She must have been wearing a down jacket under the school uniform.
"Mom!" The girl came over on a bicycle and stopped at the door. After smiling sweetly at Zhang Wenhong, she turned to look at me and said with some confusion; "This sister is -"
Needless to say, this girl must be Zhang Wenhong's daughter, Zhang Tingting.
"Hello, Zhang Tingting, my name is Hu Ling."
I greeted Zhang Tingting and looked back at Zhang Wenhong. Because I didn't know if Zhang Wenhong would let Zhang Tingting know what we were going to do, I didn't introduce my identity.
"This sister is the psychic I hired, the gentleman from Yuanling Pavilion, to help our family look after things!"
What I didn't expect was that Zhang Wenhong introduced my identity to Zhang Tingting without any hesitation.
"Origin from the Soul Spirit Pavilion?" Zhang Tingting was stunned for a moment, her eyes falling on my face.
"Are you the psychic from Yuanqi Tongling Pavilion?" Zhang Tingting asked me in surprise.
Zhang Tingting's tone surprised me. I raised my eyebrows and looked at her and asked, "Do you know me?"
"I heard my classmates talking about you!" Zhang Tingting looked at me with a smile on her face, "You don't even know that many of my classmates are your fans, and several of them have bought sachets and handbags from your store.
String, they all said it was effective!"
"You girl, you can't stop talking about it. It's cold outside. Let's take your sister Hu Ling into the house first!"
Zhang Wenhong took the bicycle from Zhang Tingting and pushed it into the pastry shop. After placing it against the counter, she waved to Zhang Tingting and me and said, "Come in quickly, drink some hot water to warm yourself up and talk again!"
"Sister Hu Ling, are you really invited by my mother to help our family?"
Zhang Tingting took my arm and walked into the pastry shop side by side with me. Zhang Wenhong opened the rolling shutter again behind us. This chapter has been completed!
