Xiao Yan's eyes paused, and because of the bright charm in her smile, he unconsciously smiled: "If you like it, we can come here to eat often in the future."

Jiang Ni smiled and nodded, lowered his head and asked An An next to him if he liked it here.

An An nodded, looking very interested: "I like it!"

Jiang Ni smiled, hugged An An and talked for a while.

Suddenly she felt that the lights in the room were dimming a little, and as soon as she raised her head, a bouquet of roses appeared in front of her, with a delicate color.

Her heart slowed down subconsciously.

"Nini, happy finishing." Xiao Yan said with a smile, he deliberately lowered his voice, and his already mellow voice became more attractive: "You like roses, but you feel that the lifeless roses after picking are pitiful and pity. Then I thought of this kind of flower, this bouquet of flowers will never wither and become decadent, it will bloom as vigorously and brightly as you..."

Jiang Ni took it, and she could tell at a glance that it was an artificial flower. What moved her was that the beautiful roses could not hide the poor craftsmanship. She said in a positive tone: "Did you make this bouquet of flowers?"

Xiao Yan felt his heart beating faster because of her question. He doubted whether his craftsmanship seemed too cheap. He unconsciously rolled his Adam's apple and said with a nervous voice: "Yes, do you like it?"

Without waiting for Jiang Ni to answer, he added: "I have also prepared other jewelry, which are all placed at home for you to choose. This flower is so ugly, it doesn't matter if you don't like it..."

At the end, his tone became lighter.

Looking at his obviously nervous expression, Jiang Ni couldn't help but laugh: "What? Mr. Xiao looks down on himself so much?"

Jiang Ni hugged the flower and said with a smile: "Thank you, I like it very much."

She lowered her head and smelled it. There was the fragrance of roses on the artificial flowers. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she vaguely smelled Xiao Yan's fragrance again. It was a perfume he often used.

Just as Xiao Yan's business acumen and athletic talent were strong, his hands-on ability was correspondingly poor. Jiang Ni still remembered the time when Xiao Yan helped An An complete the manual homework assigned by the kindergarten. After one night, the airplane model was completely out of shape. Horribly ugly.

After coming back to his senses and looking at the lifelike artificial flowers in front of him, Jiang Ni knew that Xiao Yan must have put in a lot of effort.

Xiao Yan's tense expression relaxed. When he saw that the affection on Jiang Ni's face didn't seem to be a pretentious gesture, he felt inexplicably excited in his heart. He coughed twice uncomfortably: "As long as you like it."

"You must have spent a lot of energy doing this, right?"

Recalling the experience of failure again and again in his mind, Xiao Yan's expression was very exciting. He picked up the cup and took a sip of tea: "It's not that difficult..."

"Dad is lying!" An An said. He held Jiang Ni's hand and said, "An An saw that dad has been sticking this flower in the study room. Dad is really stupid. He spent a long time on such a small flower. It doesn't stick well. If it were An An, she would definitely be able to stick it together quickly and give it to her mother!" An An didn't forget to praise herself at the end.

Xiao Yan coughed lightly: "No."

Jiang Ni looked at Xiao Yan with a somewhat unspeakable emotion: "Thank you..."

Light footsteps sounded, and it turned out to be waiters in Hanfu carrying plates and serving dishes.

After Jiang Ni had dinner, he felt that his overall condition was much better, and his tired body suddenly became energetic.Before leaving, Jiang Ni held the bouquet of roses. The artificial flowers had no thorns, but she felt that the roses in her hands were hot and piercing.

Jiang Ni was in a daze for a moment, but she still held the bouquet of roses in her arms.

*
Shortly after Xiao Yan returned home, he received a call from Lu Jun. At that time, Jiang Ni was already lying on the bed and fell asleep. Xiao Yan frowned and hung up, covering Jiang Ni with the quilt before going out.

"Cousin cousin!!"

After the call was connected, Lu Jun's voice was as noisy as a sparrow.

Xiao Yan's voice was cold: "Say."

Lu Jun could tell that Xiao Yan was in a bad mood, but this was totally unreasonable: "Cousin, have you given away the roses? My cousin likes roses and feels sorry for them. You can't give real roses, or fake ones." Flowers have meaning! The Master Gu I recommended to you has been making artificial flowers for generations. He said that the color and fragrance of artificial flowers are even better than real roses. Whoever sees this will not say that it is a handicraft suitable for collection!"

Lu Jun said proudly: "How is it? Is my cousin moved to tears? I have never seen my cousin cry. How about you describe it to me..."

Xiao Yan had a headache. He could feel that Jiang Ni liked the rose the moment he received it, but she was unusually silent on the road. Her wordless appearance made his mood rise and fall. She was really stable. No.

"Her reaction was a little strange. Maybe the roses were too ugly..." Xiao Yan said.

"Too ugly?! That's impossible! Who can see Master Gu's work and not say yes! That's not an artificial flower, that's a work of art! To put it bluntly, my cousin is so ignorant?"

"Master Gu's artificial flowers are works of art, but I gave them as gifts..." Xiao Yan lowered his eyes and sighed: "I made them myself."

"You did it yourself?!" Lu Jun screamed at the other end. Xiao Yan subconsciously took the phone away. He looked at the closed door and warned in a deep voice: "Your cousin has already rested. keep your voice down."

After that, he walked towards the study, and Jun's loud voice became louder and louder in the confined space.

"Okay cousin, you are no longer my disabled cousin! When did you start the second evolution behind my back? Did you contact Master Gu not for customization, but to become a disciple??"

Lu Jun took a breath on the other side: "If the roses were made by you, cousin, with your ingenious craftsmanship, the roses must be..."

Lu Jun stuttered, unable to make it up: "I'm not my cousin, why did you give away the flowers you made? Your craftsmanship is so bad, how dare you give them away?!"

Xiao Yan hung up the phone, and her already dull mood was heightened by Lu Jun's words.

Is it that ugly?
He recalled the appearance of the bouquet of flowers in his mind. They were undoubtedly delicate and beautiful, but why didn't she like it...

Could it be that he really thinks too highly of himself?
Miscellaneous thoughts piled up in his mind, and Xiao Yan rarely fell into a confused mood.

Complex emotions that he had never experienced in adolescence suddenly exploded in his heart. He was as confused and melancholy as a young boy. He secretly despised himself for being so impulsive and young, but he couldn't stop the raging thoughts in his heart.

When Xiao Yan came to his senses, he had already pressed the lighter. The scarlet cigarette wick was like a poisonous snake, igniting the sadness in his heart even more.
