Many people were already carrying baskets of flowers onto the street to sell roses.
"Ten yuan for one, fifteen yuan for two..."
The flower sellers kept calling out.
"Want some flowers?" Amid the heavy snowfall, Gu Zhihan lowered his handsome brows and asked the little girl beside him, who wore a rabbit-ear hat.
Luo Mengmeng immediately nodded.
"Then wait for me here." Gu Zhihan patted her head and then walked towards the flower sellers.
"Give me 99 roses." Gu Zhihan said while taking out his money.
The flower vendor, however, looked troubled, "I’m sorry, I only have fifty here..."
Gu Zhihan’s lips twitched immediately.
"Fifty is also fine."
After paying, Gu Zhihan picked up the fifty roses, and then went to another flower seller to buy another forty-nine, making it exactly ninety-nine in total.
"Why did you buy so many?" Luo Mengmeng almost dropped her eyes out of surprise as she took the flowers.
Buying so many for her, did he want her to eat them!
Gu Zhihan brushed the snow off her head lovingly and said, "Ninety-nine roses, symbolizing forever and ever."
He wanted to be with her forever and ever.
"So you’ve become superstitious for once." Luo Mengmeng immediately felt as if millions of candy hearts had melted in her, incredibly sweet.
In the thick snowfall, Gu Zhihan said with a smile, "For you, I can believe in anything."
"Hehe..." Luo Mengmeng’s smile deepened.
Seeing the snow starting to fall heavier, Gu Zhihan picked up her hand, "The snow is getting too heavy. Let’s get back, otherwise our clothes will be soaked through!"
Not long after they left, Tong Mo also arrived at the bustling street.
Seeing all the couples around, she immediately rolled her eyes in displeasure and couldn’t help but hum a classic song, "The world is so big, why did we meet each other? Could it be that we’re siblings, could it be kinship... I wish all the couples in the world were long-lost siblings, I wish there’s no seats available in the movie theaters and restaurants tonight, I wish all the couples in the world were long-lost siblings, whether it’s Motel 168, Home Inn or 7 Days Inn, none could book a bed, can’t book a bed, oh can’t book a bed!"
Every couple who passed her couldn’t help but give her a disdainful look, if they didn’t want to end up at the police station, they would have gone up to hit her by now.
"So hostile towards couples?"
Just then, a lightly amused male voice reached Tong Mo’s ears.
"What’s it to you?" Tong Mo replied irritably as she turned around, only to see it was Viscount Li, which made her roll her eyes several times and point at him unceremoniously, asking, "Hey, how come I run into you every time I go out? You’re not a stalker, are you?"
Otherwise, why would she run into him every time?
"If I say it’s a coincidence, would you believe me?" Viscount Li looked innocent.
He had met her last time when he was about to visit his nephew and give him a red envelope, which he ended up giving to her instead.
This time, he just wanted to take a walk, and unexpectedly, he met her again.
It was as if some invisible force was deliberately arranging their meetings.
"I believe my foot!" Tong Mo didn’t believe him at all, and after glaring at him, she walked ahead with big steps.
Viscount Li quickened his steps to follow her.
"Why are you following me?"
After a moment’s thought, Viscount Li found a reason, "It’s boring alone."
Tong Mo was utterly speechless with that reason.
As they passed by a flower seller, Viscount Li realized that today seemed to be Valentine’s Day.
He looked up at the girl in the blue cotton jacket ahead of him, then went to buy a bunch of bright roses. In just a few strides, he came up to her, offering them to her, "For you."
