o remove the flower wrappers from the garbage can.

Every time he saw a video of Zhou Zui fiddling with the roses, he felt quite emotional with his heart becoming loose and soft as if Zhou Zui was not fiddling with the flowers, but instead was fiddling with his heart.

However, Zhou Zui’s fiddling was quite simple, that is, the wrapping paper was removed every day and the flowers were inserted into a bucket of water.
According to Xu Lin, the boss thought that it was disrespectful to just throw them away.

Xiao Ke knew that Zhou Zui’s heart was not as cold as his face, and sometimes his heart was quite soft.
This made it even more fascinating.
Anyway, in the eyes of a fanboy, Zhou Zui was perfect so there was no need to say anything more.

On that weekend, Xiao Ke still could not resist going to the store.
Zhou Zui happened to be in.
Xu Lin waved her hand happily, and Xiao Ke said “hello” to her before he went inside.
Lu Xiaobei was squatting on a chair while playing a game, and he whistled when he saw Xiao Ke, “Long time no see, God of Flowers.”

Xiao Ke flicked his head.
“Where’s your big brother?”

Lu Xiaobei tilted his head back, and pointed to the room behind him.
“Talking with friends.”

Xiao Ke nodded and sat down on the chair next to Lu Xiaobei.
Zhou Zui was definitely not in there talking to people, but he was used to it anyway so he took a book off the shelf and flipped through it.

Lu Xiaobei’s eyes were still on the screen, and only his mouth moved to talk to him.
“You can see the flowers you sent later.”

“Sure,” Xiao Ke laughed.
“I was wondering why I didn’t see them.”

“Three buckets.
We used all the buckets here, and I went out to buy one.” Lu Xiaobei exaggerated with joy, and this child’s laugh sounded like a donkey’s cry sometimes.
He finished laughing and said, “Yesterday I finished working and gave my client a handful of flowers, about ten, do you mind?”

Xiao Ke said, “No, whatever.”

“Really?” Lu Xiaobei took the time to look at him then turned back and said, “My brother has refused several requests for flowers from young girls, saying it’s not polite to give them away.
I can tell him later then, ah, my brother Xiao actually does not mind.”

Xiao Ke picked up the book in his hand and knocked Lu Xiaobei on the shoulder.
“Damaged children shouldn’t speak.”

Lu Xiaobei again laughed out a donkey’s cry while he squinted at him.
“You feel super smug, don’t you?”

Xiao Ke shrugged his shoulders.
“Just a bit.”

The door of that room opened as the person inside heard the sound and came out to ask Lu Xiaobei, “Little Beibei, what are you laughing about?”

“I’m talking, are you done talking?” Lu Xiaobei asked him.

The man looked at Xiao Ke and asked, “What are we talking about? It’s all just a blind conversation.
Who’s this?” 

Lu Xiaobei just finished the game so he took off the headset around his neck before he stood up to stretch and said while stretching, “This is Xiao Ke, my big brother’s friend.”

“Hey, coincidentally, I’m also your big brother’s friend, so aren’t we all friends?” The man smiled and extended his hand so Xiao Ke went over to shake it while saying, “Xiao Ke.”

The man said, “Fang Xi.”

Zhou Zui came out of the room, Xiao Ke raised his eyebrows at him as a greeting, and Zhou Zui nodded at him before he sat down on the sofa.

Fang Xi asked him, “I just told you to hurry up and decide on that thing, I’ll see if we drive one car or two cars after you decide.”

Zhou Zui replied with a “hmm.”

Xiao Ke asked, “Where are you going?”

Fang Xi answered him, “We have a friend who wants to go to the mountains for fun.
Want to join us, new friend?”

Xiao Ke looked at Zhou Zui and asked him, “Are you going, Boss Zhou?”

Zhou Zui nodded, “May go, depends on if I have time.”

“Hey, you have to bring my brother Xiao,” Lu Xiaobei jumped down from the chair, and quietly patted Xiao Ke’s back with the intention of being a godsend.
“My brother Xiao is a great person and will give you people a boost to your education level.”

Fang Xi smiled and looked over.
“Highly educated?”

“He already graduated with a PhD.
Isn’t that high to you?” Lu Xiaobei lit a cigarette and held it in his mouth.
“My Brother Xiao is a university teacher.
Out of you lot, only my big brother graduated from university, right?”

“Yo, then we have to go together.” Fang Xi liked to make jokes and was naturally friendly.
He sat next to Xiao Ke and asked, “Do you have the time? We’ll probably leave Friday morning and get back Sunday evening.
If you can get a day off, we could go Friday also.”

Xiao Ke definitely had time as he didn’t have a fixed schedule.
As long as he got another teacher to substitute for him and told the director, everything would be fine.
However, Xiao Ke didn’t instantly agree.
Instead, he looked at Zhou Zui and asked, “Is it okay if I go? Boss Zhou?”

The expression in Xiao Ke’s eyes were quite straightforward, his face looked simple, and his thoughts weren’t disguised on his face.
A human being like Fang Xi knew what was going on at first glance.
To be honest, he was quite surprised that Zhou Zui’s side had been empty for many years.

Zhou Zui looked back at Xiao Ke, and the child’s eyes were beautiful with the ends of his eyes very wide.
He often liked to stare at him and Zhou Zui, and being as old as he was, it was sometimes uncomfortable letting him stare.

Fang Xi was watching with an ambiguous look on the side.

Xiao Ke was still waiting for his reply.

Zhou Zui averted his eyes, and said with a sigh, “You can go.
What’s so inconvenient about it? We’re all men.”

Xiao Ke bit his lower lip before smiling like a little gangster, and then winked at Lu Xiaobei.

‘Good Little Beibei, my brother did not cherish you for nothing.’

Lu Xiaobei gripped a cigarette and also gave him a wink.

‘Brother Xiao, go! I can only help you up until this point.
In the middle of nowhere, opportunities must be taken.’
