Regarding the matter of awakening lightning abilities after transformation

"Your friend might need a therapist..."

The girl licked her dry lips, her mood somewhat downcast.

"Ah?" Su Wanxi let out a soft moan and turned her body slightly towards Gu Cheng.

"It hurts a little..." she whispered in the girl's ear.

Pain? Gu Cheng shifted her gaze from the bouquet back to what was in front of her. The hair between her fingers wasn't flaxen brown, but almost pure black, and upon closer inspection, it carried a unique, sweet fragrance.

This is Su Wanxi's hair, not her own...

"Sorry, sorry, I thought..." No wonder she hadn't felt anything for so long, Gu Cheng quickly sat up straight, holding onto the table.

"You thought it was your own hair?"

"Um..."

Oh no, Gu Cheng had experienced having her hair pressed under her arm before, and she knew that pain all too well.

Su Wanxi gently touched her neck, revealing an adorable head tilt.

"Touching is fine, but don't be too rough." She didn't blame Gu Cheng at all; her tone was more like that of someone taking care of a child.

This is okay to eat, but absolutely avoid that... Who isn't a baby at heart?

"How about you tug on me again?" Gu Cheng tentatively suggested.

"Do you really think of yourself as a child?" Su Wanxi chuckled and reached out to rub the other person's head.

"Time to get to work!"

......

After chatting for a while, more customers came in.

Su Wanxi went to the warehouse to get the flowers, while Gu Cheng continued to be in charge of selling bouquets at the storefront.

Suddenly, a pair of hands passed through her waist, and something pressed against her back, sending a warm sensation through her.

“Su...Wanxi?” Gu Cheng trembled and turned to look at the other person.

"It's not Sister Xi, it's me, Qin Kexin!" Qin Kexin was wearing an adorable bubble dress, her hair tied in a ponytail on both sides.

"Why did you come here?" Gu Cheng looked at her with some surprise.

"Hey, I was busy with the start of the semester the other day and didn't have a chance to come over~" Qin Kexin skipped and hopped, letting go of her hands, her little leather shoes making a crisp sound on the floor. She's a junior in college now, and the start of the semester is the busiest time of her life.

Gu Cheng smiled and turned to look towards the door.

"Uncle Zhou didn't come?" She thought the two of them would visit together.

"No, no~ Ah Li is still in the store, I came alone." Qin Kexin rubbed against him vigorously, her wispy bangs making the girl a little itchy.

"Gu Cheng, how many more roses does the shop need...?"

Su Wanxi came in through the back door carrying several bouquets of flowers and happened to see Qin Kexin clinging to Gu Cheng's arm like a little kitten.

Section 77, Chapter 76: Don't Goose Bitter Gourd

"..." Su Wanxi arranged the flowers expressionlessly, turned around and silently went upstairs, leaving two figures staring at each other.

"Sister Xi seems to be jealous~" Qin Kexin stuck out her tongue and gently released Gu Cheng's arm.

Jealous? How could that be... Gu Cheng shook her head and prepared to follow.

Just as she reached the top of the stairs, Su Wanxi came down from above, carrying three cans of sweet coffee, the cans still covered with a pale white frost.

"Here you go~" Su Wanxi handed one can to Qin Kexin and the other to Gu Cheng. She pursed her lips and sat down in the middle to separate the two of them.

"What brings you here?"

"I had some free time today, so I came to visit~" Qin Kexin's eyes curved into crescent shapes, and her cheeks revealed rosy dimples.

"How does it feel?" She turned slightly to the side, shielding Gu Cheng behind her.

"It's so beautiful! I want to open a flower shop like this after I graduate from university!" Qin Kexin held her iced coffee and looked around, her eyes sparkling.

"If you have any ideas, I can help you with them later." Su Wanxi said gently, and quietly reached behind her back with her right hand to lightly poke Gu Cheng's thigh twice.

It didn't hurt, it was just itchy... Gu Cheng didn't know what she had done wrong, so she could only silently endure it without making a sound.

"Mmm!" He unzipped the can, brought it to his lips, and took a small sip.

"It's a bit icy, but it's so delicious, this coffee!" Qin Kexin couldn't help but praise, revealing her two cute little tiger teeth.

Do you sell this kind of instant coffee at the nearby shopping mall?

"of course."

"I'll buy some to take back to the dorm later." Qin Kexin rubbed her hair, suddenly remembering the main purpose of her visit today.

"Oh right, Sister Xi, there's also this..." Qin Kexin took out a stack of thin papers from her pink handbag and lowered her head shyly.

Zhou Li has already submitted her letter of self-criticism; now only Su Wanxi's is left...

After receiving the letter of self-criticism, Su Wanxi did not open it immediately, but instead put the contents into the cabinet first.

"I already know most of what happened by reading Uncle Zhou's battle report."

"Waaaah... I'm sorry, it's all my fault for not following orders..." Gu Cheng couldn't see Qin Kexin's face clearly, but just from her voice, she could imagine how pitiful she looked.

"I'll look at the self-criticism later." If Zhou Li thinks there's no problem, Su Wanxi generally won't be too harsh.

Putting aside ability and strength, Zhou Li's life experience alone is far richer than hers, so entrusting this kind of educational work to her is the least likely to cause any problems.

"Yes, Xi-jie is the best, right, Chengzi~" Qin Kexin turned her head to look at Gu Cheng, who smiled and nodded.

"Ding~" Another guest entered the room. Gu Cheng stood up and politely went to greet him.

......

Qin Kexin found a high stool to sit on, drinking coffee while watching the crowds coming and going outside the window. She had already established mental communication, so all conversations could be conducted in her mind.

Su Wanxi had her back to her, pruning the flower branches with scissors in her hand, and she would also take the initiative to answer questions from customers.

The screen lit up, it was almost eleven o'clock, and Gu Cheng sat at the counter tidying up the ledgers and chatting idly with Qin Kexin.

Gu Cheng didn't quite understand the preferences of modern girls. Most of the time, she just listened, occasionally offering her opinions on those she did know. Su Wanxi was also on the public channel, but she only greeted Qin Kexin at the beginning, letting her know she had entered, and then didn't say anything more.

"It's almost time to get off work. Why don't you stay here for dinner?" Gu Cheng regretted her words as soon as they left her mouth. She wasn't the owner of the florist, and inviting a guest seemed a bit presumptuous.

Made from oranges?

"...Hmm." I glanced at Su Wanxi out of the corner of my eye; she was holding her phone and looking at something.

"What a pity... I also wanted to eat dishes made with oranges..." Qin Kexin pouted, her tone full of regret.

"I've made plans to eat out with Zhou Li, I'll definitely come over for a meal sometime~"

So he had a date... Gu Cheng smiled understandingly and didn't try to persuade him any further.

"Qin Kexin..." Su Wanxi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up and waved to the girl, signaling her to come over.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Qin Kexin walked over curiously, carrying her handbag.

"Don't you think about bringing a bouquet of flowers on the date?" After making way for the flower stand behind her, Su Wanxi rested one hand on her chest and her wrist against her cheek.

"Send...flowers?" Qin Kexin was at the age when her heart was fluttering with love, and she had no resistance to flowers. She stared blankly at the flower stand, and her skin instantly turned red.

The pure white jasmine, the subtly fragrant tulips...

"Then...this one!" She stared at almost every flower for a long time, her pale white fingertips waving back and forth, and finally chose a bunch of purple lavender.

"Okay, please wait a moment." Su Wanxi took out some exquisite floral paper and carefully wrapped the branches.

Waiting for love... Looking at Qin Kexin's expectant face, Gu Cheng suddenly thought of the flower's meaning.

......

After watching Qin Kexin leave, the two locked the shop door and prepared lunch.

"Glug glug..." It's tomatoes and eggs again; Su Wanxi always prepares the same few ingredients.

Isn't it greasy...? Gu Cheng picked up the pot lid and carefully ladled out the soup.

"Let's eat~" After serving the dishes, Gu Cheng took the chopsticks and sat down opposite Su Wanxi.

"This is... daffodils?" Just as she was about to pick up her chopsticks, she noticed a transparent vase on the table with two small yellow and white flowers inserted inside.

"Hmm, don't you feel more comfortable this way?" Su Wanxi picked up a piece of pork tenderloin from her bowl, her clear eyes slightly lowered.

The tablecloth was originally a typical blue and black color scheme, serious and stern. Now, this touch of light yellow perfectly neutralizes the somberness of the background, and even makes one's mood much lighter.

"It is indeed much more comfortable..." Gu Cheng agreed. After reading so many flower arrangement books, she had learned some matching skills.

The ambiance was well-arranged, but as for the food... Gu Cheng's gaze shifted from the plate to the other person's face.

Although Su Wanxi ate quickly, every movement was elegant, and her luscious red lips were even more alluring under the lights.

...No, I can't let her bewitch me. Gu Cheng shook her head, trying to banish these inappropriate thoughts.

"Can I bring some food tomorrow?" It doesn't necessarily have to be her own favorite dishes; Gu Cheng just feels it's not good to keep making the same few dishes.

Even children understand the importance of a balanced diet.

Su Wanxi nodded obediently, then picked up another piece of sweet and sour pork: "Mmm..."

"Anything else is fine, just not bitter melon!" As she spoke, she puffed out her cheeks, a gesture that was not very elegant but quite cute.

Acting cute is shameful, but it works.

...Let her be. Gu Cheng, who is a fan of salty food, is almost being led astray by Su Wanxi. Her sugar intake at each meal is now at least twenty Wallaces higher than before she came to the flower shop.

Section 78, Chapter 77: Judgment

"Click..." Gu Cheng released the door lock, her porcelain-white hand holding the key gently slipping into her pocket, and turned to walk towards the street corner. Su Wanxi rolled down the car window, her bright eyes sparkling, her beautiful eyelashes as thin as cicada wings.

"Let's go..." she said, fastening her seatbelt, her voice cool and detached.

Gu Cheng sat in the passenger seat, her eyelashes fluttering slightly. This was the agreed-upon plan: work half a day first, have lunch, and then go to the office building together for training.
