Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee

Qiao Liang paused and said, “Wait a minute.”

He then took out his cell phone, opened WeChat and asked in the chat group, “Does the number of flowers matter if I want to buy my girlfriend some flowers? If it does, why?

The quiet chat group immediately livened up because of his question…

Lu Li: Sure. Different numbers of flowers have different meanings.

Robin Hood Chu: What flowers are you going to buy? Don’t buy the wrong flowers! Do you know how hard it is to please your girlfriend? Today I had a dinner with her and she didn’t even give me a smile during the dinner! When did I offend her? Was it because of you?

Young Master: What flowers should I buy?

Lu Li: I’ve never bought anyone flowers. No idea.

Robin Hood Chu: Oh, my god! Are you guys kidding me? You’ve never bought a girl flowers?

Young Master: How many should I buy?

Lu Li: Just search for the related information on the Internet.

Robin Hood Chu: Hey, did you hear me? Never ever buy a girl yellow rose because it stands for loss of love. If you buy her yellow roses, you’ll be doomed!

Qiao Liang frowned, looked at the yellow roses beside him, moved to the side to stay away from them, and clicked on the screen of his cell phone…

Young Master: Yellow roses are ugly!

I won’t buy yellow roses!

Robin Hood Chu: Red roses stand for passion and true love, yellow roses for jealousy and loss of love, purple roses for preciousness and uniqueness, white roses for purity and innocence, and black roses for tenderness and sincerity… I got the information from Baidu.

Lu Li: You’re awesome.

Robin Hood Chu: Yes, Baidu can be really useful sometimes.

Lu Li: Where are you? Let’s have a drink together?

Robin Hood Chu: I’m in a bar currently. Come here [Location].

Lu Li: Okay.

Qiao Liang frowned: How many roses should I buy?!

Then he heard the message alert tone and a message popped up.

Robin Hood Chu: One rose: You’re still the only one.

Two roses: There’s only you and me in the world.

Three rose: I love you.

Four roses: Oath and promise

Five roses: Never regret

Six roses: All the best

Seven roses: Love you in secret

Eight roses: I’m terribly sorry. Please forgive me

Nine roses: Stay by your side forever

Ten roses: Peak of perfection

Eleven roses: Love you forever

Twelve roses: Miss you every day…5201314 roses: Love you in this lifetime. Okay, that’s all. You can buy her all the roses in Paris as long as you like…

Qiao Liang closed WeChat and said to the shop owner, “I want to buy a bouquet of roses, including eleven red roses, seventeen purple roses, eight white roses and five black roses. Please pack them up for me.”

The shop owner nodded with a smile and asked him, “Would you like some champagne roses?”

Qiao Liang frowned and gave her a questioning look. What are champagne roses? Chu Ling didn’t mention it! The shop owner explained, “Champagne roses stands for I only love you. This is a perfect gift for a loved one. Would you like some champagne roses?”

“Pack up ninety-nine champagne roses separately for me.” Qiao Liang immediately decided.

The shop owner was very happy to have a big buyer who bought so many expensive roses. She said with a smile, “Okay. I’ll pack up the roses very well. I bet your girlfriend will forgive you as soon as she sees the roses.”

Tang Xi was lying on the bed and struggling on whether to send a message to Qiao Liang or call him. Thinking of what she said to Qiao Liang today, she hesitated. If she surrendered to him this time, she would fall into his control! Then he wouldn’t allow her to meddle in his affairs and would restrict her freedom!

Thinking of this, Tang Xi threw her cell phone aside, and covered her head with the quilt and kicked her legs in chagrin. At this time, her cell phone rang. She took a look at the caller ID. It was Xiao Jing. She almost forgot about him during these past few days!

Tang Xi hurriedly picked up the call, and then heard Xiao Jing said languidly, “Oh my god, you finally answered my call! Why aren’t you in the hotel?!”

The corner of Tang Xi’s eyes twitched. “I’m in the hotel.”

Xiao Jing knocked at the door of her room. Tang Xi opened the door only to see Xiao Jing leaning against the door frame and looking so gaunt. She asked in astonishment, “Jing, what happened to you? Are you possessed by a ghost? Why do you look so gaunt?”

Xiao Jing screamed, “They all bullied me!”

He fought with Little Six in that game that night, and suffered a crushing defeat. Then he began to lock himself in the room and practiced that game hard. However, every time he challenged a user in the game, he was beaten. He fainted in anger and disappointment, and no one came to visit him! If he hadn’t woken up by himself, he might have died!

Hearing his words, Tang Xi was worried yet also angry at him. She stared at Xiao Jing, dragged him into her room and let him sit on the sofa as she said angrily, “Are you courting death? Playing games is not good for your health! How can you spend so much time on it? Is your health or gaming more important?! I beat you in the game, because I played it often. As for the other game, well… maybe Sa played it often as well, but you…”

Tang Xi went to the fridge and took out a box of milk. She heated it and handed it to Xiao Jing.”Jing, what’s the problem with you? You came here to take care of me, but now I have to look after you! Jing, look at yourself. If mom sees you being like this, she will be worried!”

Xiao Jing pursed his lips and said in guilt, “Well, I didn’t expect that I would faint.”

He didn’t expect he would faint just because he played games! He was always strong and healthy! He felt a bit ashamed now!

At this time, he suddenly thought of something. He looked around and frowned, asking, “Where is Qiao Liang? Why is he not here?”

Tang Xi looked a bit embarrassed. She said awkwardly, “He has something to tend to. Drink some milk and go back to take a rest. I’m going out to buy some food for you. Wait for me for a while.”

“No, I’ve told the front desk to send me some food. They will bring the food to me soon. I just came here to tell you what happened to me.” He then looked at Tang Xi and said aggrievedly, “But I think if I hadn’t come to you, you might have forgotten about me…”

Tang Xi was speechless. “… Sorry, Jing, I was too busy these days…”

“Alright, forget it. I forgive you.” Xiao Jing drank up the milk and took two bites of the bread on the table. He stood up and said, “I’m going back to my room.”

“Let me send you there.” Tang Xi noticed that he didn’t look well and hurriedly got up to support him. The latter feebly leaned against Tang Xi and covered his face with hands, “What shame!”
