As soon as he left, Liu Zhi had prepared everything, and upon turning back and seeing the bouquet in Liu Mianmian's hand, she exclaimed, "Where did this come from? It's quite beautiful!"
Liu Mianmian, feeling the flowers were scorching her hand, immediately handed them to her, "If you like them, you can have them!"
Liu Zhi...
She felt it wasn't right to accept the flowers, but they had already been stuffed into her arms.
Liu Mianmian initially thought Liu Xinghe's suggestion to find something to eat was just an excuse to ease the awkwardness after giving flowers, but unexpectedly, after a while, he came back with food wrapped in a rural red floral cloth.
They were boiled sweet potatoes and eggs, still steaming hot.
Though it was April and the weather had warmed up, Liu Mianmian was particular about her food, insisting on hot food even during the hottest days of summer.
The pastries Liu Zhi brought, though plentiful, were all cold.
