Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Jin Nian took out a small bouquet of dried flowers from her bag as if she was performing magic. She raised her eyebrows at Lu An: “Lu An, this is for you. Cheer up!” She gave him the things that little girls liked because she hoped that he would smile brightly like a flower.
Lu An gave her face and smiled. He reached out and took the flowers that had been stuffed into his hands. He could not help but complain even though he had a smile in his eyes that was hard to hide: “Who told you to gift flowers to men? It’s so embarrassing if other people find out.”
Jin Nian rolled her eyes at him: “You’re too pedantic. Who said that flowers can only be given to women? Men can also appreciate beautiful things, cry, and be sad. Who made the rule that it can’t be?”
After that, Lu An kept that bouquet of flowers in a vase on his desk for many years.
The subway stopped at a station near the company. Jin Nian followed the crowd out of the station. She remembered the bouquet of Claude Monet that Lu An had been asking for. Coincidentally, there was a flower shop near the company, so she could go in and buy a bouquet.
The flower shop had not opened yet, but the lady boss received her warmly. When she heard what she wanted, the lady boss looked troubled: “Claude Monet is usually raised at home, and the flower shop doesn’t sell them. You can take a look at this breed. It’s called the Mermaid Princess. It’s also very beautiful.”
Jin Nian looked in the direction of her finger. Indeed, the pollen was tender and the irregular petals looked like the hem of a princess’s dress. It was not like she had returned empty-handed. If Lu An did not like it, she could just leave it in the office and admire it herself.
So at 9:50am, Jin Nian walked into the office with a big bunch of pink and tender Mermaid Princesses in her arms. Her colleagues surrounded her and asked if they were sent by the mysterious person a few days ago. Jin Nian shook her head and said that she had bought it when she passed by the flower shop in front of the company.
After putting the flowers in the vase, Jin Nian could not help but take a photo of it and send it to Lu An.
“Is it beautiful?”
The reply came quickly, “You bought it for me?”
“This is not the Claude Monet you want. It’s called the Mermaid Princess.”
“No matter what breed it is, as long as you give it to me, I want it.”
“You didn’t say that last time..”
