Chapter 33 #33: Roses
The purchase of flowers came too suddenly, and Su Muqiu didn’t have enough cash with him. According to Huang Shaotian’s intention, he would buy as many flowers as he could, and strive to have stunning visual effects, and if not, be horrifying, so as to leave an indelible deep impression.
This idea was reprimanded by the girl in the florist, saying that the number of flowers to send has a specific meaning, and you must not buy them randomly. In the end, Su Muqiu was persuaded by the experts and bought 19 red roses, even though he didn't understand what number 19 is...
"How would you split the number 19?"
The two graduate students immediately replied: "19 is a prime number, except for 1 and itself..."
"It's 11+1+2+5." The girl interrupted them, speaking clearly and logically, "It means that I only love you for the rest of my life, you are my only one, and you are in pairs, with no complaints or regrets."
Su Muqiu and Huang Shaotian looked at each other in blank dismay.
Although I think this solution is very unreasonable and unreasonable, but people look like they listened to me, so they don't interfere with other people's majors.
After Su Muqiu bought the flowers, he set off on his way back amid Huang Shaotian's cheers.On the way, he suddenly remembered that he had sent a text message to Ye Xiu to say that they would have dinner together, but there was no food in the refrigerator. Immediately thinking about what to make for dinner, he subconsciously walked into the supermarket—with that bouquet of red roses in full bloom, and was surrounded by crowds.
After dismissing the third wave of aunts and aunts who teased him familiarly, Su Muqiu sternly faced the enthusiastic gazes of his surroundings, sandwiched the bouquet of roses, picked cabbages in his left hand and green onions in his right, and left quickly after buying a little up.
The next day is Christmas, and it should be spent in a corrupt manner. If there is not enough food, take Ye Xiu out for a big meal.
Su Muqiu thought desperately, but his attention was still uncontrollably turned to the confession, his palms were sweating.He walked absent-mindedly, took a few wrong turns, bumped into a wall, and almost rolled into a stinky ditch, until the sudden wind almost blew the bouquet away, and Su Muqiu regained consciousness and hugged the flowers tightly, followed by the gold bar He seemed to go home cautiously.
The snow came late, and the streets were full of romantic girls, holding up their mobile phones and snapping snow scenes everywhere.Su Muqiu is not afraid of the cold, but he did not expect the unexpected snow season before going out. The sudden drop in temperature after the snow made him freeze into a popsicle. He wished he could stay in the house and turn the heating to 50 degrees.
However, when he really returned to the door of Room [-] on the third floor, he stopped there, standing for too long, the snowflakes on his shoulders melted into water, seeping into his coat, with a clammy chill.
"To be honest, this plan is too stupid..." Su Muqiu muttered, leaning his back against the door panel, watching the fine snow falling all over the sky, and let out a long sigh.
With a nervous and complicated mood in his arms, he stood outside the door with the vegetables and the bouquet of flowers in his hands, secretly searching for the confession.
After scanning a few pages of search results, they are all irrelevant content, which is very annoying.Suddenly, a question for help jumped into his eyes,
The title is straightforward, it is called "Should I Confess", and the question was asked only a few days ago, and the number of answers is as high as hundreds, which is really unbelievable.Su Muqiu's heart moved slightly, and she clicked in to read the content. It followed the title style, which was also concise and powerful: "Recently, I found that I like her. Everywhere I touch is hot, and I feel silly when I see her. Although she is single, she is an admirer." A lot, my friend told me to confess, what should I do?"
Su Muqiu hurriedly looked down.
The first few replies were all meaningless obscene jokes or marketing accounts, but starting from a certain reply, the style was completely unified:
7L☆☆☆☆The turning point of life, the best choice for success!Please contact □□: xxxxxx 24 hours online☆☆☆☆
8LLZ, don't be cowardly, just do it!

113L Don't be cowardly, just do it! ←Follow the trend +10086
Although the second half was obviously reduced to follow suit, Su Muqiu stared at the six words, finally took a deep breath, stuffed the phone into his pocket, and opened the door.
The lights were not turned on in the room, and the whole living room was slightly dark, as if no one was there.He turned on the light and saw Ye Xiu's shoes aside, so he knew that he was indeed staying at home.
He tidied up the pile of vegetables and fruits, took the opportunity to calm down, and thought about how to speak so as not to appear abrupt.
...No matter how it starts, it is very abrupt!
What to say?
"Miss Ye, do you like me?" "Ye Xiu, what do you think of me?" "Yiye, I have let go of the world, but I have never let go of you"? ? ?
"I didn't put it down, didn't I put it down at noon and he went out with Huang Shaotian..." Su Muqiu looked at the dirty dishes in the sink and complained to himself, chattering, "This guy moved breakfast to lunch again? I'm lazy." gone."
However, this made him think of a more feasible process.
First pretending that everything was normal, and asked Ye Xiu to come out for dinner, then during the dinner, he casually mentioned "Yi Ye, how long have you and I been CP?" When Ye Xiu was surprised, he asked him if he would like to be the same as himself in the third dimension. CP try.As for the roses, it depends on the atmosphere at the time to decide when to play.
The two already have a reputation on the Internet, and they are close enough in reality. They are famous and real. As long as they can shock Ye Xiu at the beginning, seize the initiative, control the rhythm properly, and have a calm attitude, Su Muqiu thinks there is still a chance to win Ye Xiu of.
After thinking like this, Su Muqiu got up, strode towards Ye Xiu's door, knocked, knocked, knocked.
There was a vague voice from inside, please come in.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Muqiu vainly arranged the haircut and clothes, wiped the sweat from his hands on the legs of his trousers, grabbed the bouquet, and pushed open Ye Xiu's door for the first time——Damn, why are the roses still in hand? !
"Mu Qiu? Are you back?" Ye Xiu called out.
Su Muqiu was sweating all over, he stepped in with half a foot as soon as the door opened, now it was too late to back out, so he hurriedly hid the conspicuous roses behind him, and replied calmly.
The lights in Ye Xiu's room were not turned on, but the light from the living room was enough for Su Muqiu to look inside.Although the space is much larger than that of the study room, there is not much difference in the basic layout, a set of tables and chairs, a bed, and the property owner did not spend much thought.
All kinds of books are piled up here and there, materials, note papers, etc. are mixed in within reach. It is more like a utility room than a bedroom. Books are also thrown on the bed, and there is a tie on it.The small bookshelves in the room are neat and tidy, and there are professional books for teaching, as well as carefully sorted printing papers, filled with labels, probably scripts.
Beside the table is the same as Su Muqiu's, with a microphone on it, connected to a desktop computer, and you can vaguely see the YY window on the screen.
The room was colder than the living room. I don't know why Ye Xiu was so crazy that he opened the window in the middle of winter. There were light water stains on the ground under the window sill. When a gust of wind blew, a few snowflakes drifted in.
And the owner of the room turned his back to him, bowed his body, not knowing what he was busy with.
Su Muqiu stared at the wet log floor, his heart was bleeding, and he forgot the subject of the first sentence: "Why are you so nervous when you open the windows in this weather? Floors are very expensive!"
"Hey, I didn't pay attention for a while."
"Didn't notice? It's as cold as a freezer here, and you told me you didn't notice?"
"Sorry sorry, I forgot to swipe the activity."
Ye Xiu turned his face to the side, and Su Muqiu found that he was wearing a coat and a suit that he had gone out, and was holding a mobile phone, which turned out to be a game screen.
"...Xiaoxiaole?!"
Ye Xiushui: "What is Xiaoxiaole, this is Hand Warmer software."
"Hand warmer?!" Su Muqiu was so angry that he was shivering and playing mobile games in a heated room, even arguing that it was a hand warmer. What's wrong with that?
"By the way, Mu Qiu..."
Su Muqiu was still in anger, and when he turned his head, the scene that caught his eyes completely wiped out his anger, turning him into a bewildered, dry mouth.
Probably feeling too tight, Ye Xiu pulled off his tie and the first few buttons early on, revealing his beautiful collarbone. Since he turned his head to look at Su Muqiu, this posture made a big hole in the hard version of the shirt, and a large piece of it was smooth and white. The chest is looming, revealing a little spring.
──It is somewhat similar to the picture in the dream.
As long as you stretch out your hand and swipe gently, the clothes on his body... can be stopped!
Su Muqiu woke up with a start, turned her head away, and moved her legs uncomfortably.
Ye Xiu stared at him, took a panoramic view of Su Muqiu's every move, and asked slowly, "It's rare to see you come into my room. What's the matter?"
The latter's whole body was tense, he stared at the ground to calm down his heartbeat, and without turning his head for a moment, he jumped a dozen steps and blurted out: "You...are you One Autumn Leaf?"
Ye Xiu was taken aback.
And Su Muqiu also froze.
He squeezed his slippery palm tightly, and decided to go all out: "You are One Autumn Leaf, right?"
Ye Xiu turned the chair slowly, facing him, looking at Su Muqiu quietly.
"Are you?" Su Muqiu was overly nervous and couldn't help asking eagerly.
"Am I important to you?" Ye Xiu asked.
"...It's very important. This will affect our future relationship." Su Muqiu whispered.
His restless expression was clearly reflected in the black eyes behind the lens.
Ye Xiu was sitting upright, with his hands folded and resting lightly on his knees.The dim light from the screen illuminated half of his side face, with a gentle curvature and a calm expression, while the other half was hidden in the shadows, blurred.
He smiled.
"Don't laugh."
Su Muqiu's heart tightened.
"Varied……"
"I'm Lord Grim." Ye Xiu repeated, "Hello, Qiu Musu."
Su Muqiu's expression suddenly became empty.
He raised his head slowly, observing every change in Ye Xiu's expression, but Ye Xiu just had a flat smile on his face, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't change, like wearing an exquisite and perfect mask.
The two looked at each other in silence for a long time, only the wind outside the window remained.
Su Muqiu could almost hear the sound of falling snow melting on the floor. It wasn't the silent soaking as imagined, but a continuous disintegration bit by bit.
He moved, as stiff as an old machine, still stubbornly moving forward step by step.
Su Muqiu gently stroked Ye Xiu's neck with one hand, leaned over, and kissed Ye Xiu's lips suddenly.
It was cold outside, but far warmer than this room.The lips of Ye Xiu, who had been sitting inside, were soft but cold, while the corners of Su Muqiu's mouth, who had come back from the outside, were dry and flaky, and the heat caused by shyness and embarrassment also slowly receded in the cold kiss.
He quietly ended the light kiss, which was almost a courtesy, and when his lips parted, he bit hard.Ye Xiu's steady breathing was disturbed for a moment, and the corners of his lips, which were slightly red and swollen from the kiss, immediately leaked blood.Su Muqiu stroked Ye Xiu's cheek with his fingertips, then got up and withdrew his hand.
"I see."
Ye Xiu was stunned for a while before realizing that Su Muqiu's words were in response to him.
"..."
"I'll make rose cakes for you tonight. Is this a dish in City B?"
He took out the beautifully packaged bouquet of roses from behind, shook them, a few petals fell, brushed against Ye Xiu's face, and landed on the back of his hand.
Su Muqiu smiled and said thank you: "What do you want for dinner, just tell me, I'll let you order whatever you want tonight, as a thank you gift... The dormitory has been repaired, and I will move back in a few days."
Ye Xiu's fingertips trembled slightly, and the petal fell to the ground and slid into a corner where light could not penetrate.
Su Muqiu clicked his tongue a few times, saying that Ye Xiu's bedroom was just as disorganized as the original study, and he couldn't find anything at all, so he casually turned around and walked out of the room: "I finally tidied up the study, you have to maintain it!"
Looking at Su Muqiu's back against the light, Ye Xiu moved his lips, his eyes were in a rare daze, but in the blink of an eye, those emotions disappeared, leaving only an unremarkable calm.
Ye Xiu left the room and followed after a few steps.
"Where did the roses come from?"
"Isn't that guy Huang Shaotian? He wants to chase after the girl who works in a flower shop, and insists on urging me to buy something for the shop to increase consumption..."
"Oh, so you bought red roses?"
Su Muqiu shrugged: "It's just right to use it as an ingredient."
Ye Xiu didn't follow up in the kitchen, but just turned on the TV, sat at the dining table and waited.
Su Muqiu in the kitchen found the pot, took off the wrapping paper, cut off the flower stems, and tore apart the flowers one by one.
The stamens and calyxes were removed from the bright red roses, and they were torn off petal by petal, and a small handful was quickly collected.
Su Muqiu recalled the girl in the florist's rambling explanation: "Winter roses are products that go against common sense...In such a cold weather, roses cannot bloom naturally. These are artificial products cultivated in the greenhouse. Once they leave the glass room , will soon be unable to withstand the cold and wither...'
"...So I still heard it."
The most authentic rose cakes use pickled petals, and it takes several steps to make rose jam.Maybe prepare the materials now and use them in a few days, but Su Muqiu doesn't have that much time.
When the rose sauce was opened, he was no longer in the seventh room on the third floor.
Su Muqiu turned a whole pot of petals upside down, threw them into the pot, and fried them with honey.
The juice oozing from the delicate and bright rose petals was bright red, like blood.
Neither of them mentioned the dry kiss.
On the TV, the voice of the anchor tablet came out: The first snow that has not arrived in H City this year finally arrived today...
