Chu Boyang looked disgusted.

“I don’t think Uncle Chu lacks the money to buy garlic sprouts.”

“It feels different if I grow it myself. Besides, garlic sprouts grow quickly. I can eat them at least twice a month.”

“I saw a pot on the window sill of the director’s office. You’re so young… What a bad taste.”

Ji Fengmian ignored him.

It took two hours for the two of them to finish.

After that, Chu Boyang, who was rarely seen, seemed to appear often in front of everyone.

She saw him fiddling with the flowers every time.

Occasionally, she would see Ji Fengmian’s figure in another flower bed.

However, she didn’t appear often.

Ji Fengmian didn’t take care of Chu Boyang’s lilies and didn’t even look at them.

On the other hand, Chu Boyang would panic every time he stared at the garlic sprouts.

Ji Fengmian cut the garlic sprouts in half a month and brought them to the canteen. Hence, the canteen cooked scrambled eggs for two days.

Chu Boyang didn’t really like this dish.

Seeing Ji Fengmian stuffing food into his mouth, Chu Boyang couldn’t hide his resistance.

“I always thought you didn’t like things with such a strong smell.”

Ji Fengmian’s eyes didn’t move as he straightened his back and ate slowly. “That’s just what you think. But you’re right. I don’t like things with strong flavors, but I think this is not bad. Therefore, in this world, nothing is absolute. Some things and even certain habits can change. I don’t know when it suddenly changed.”

Hearing this, Chu Boyang threw another mouthful of egg into his mouth.

Ji Fengmian smiled. “If you don’t like it, so be it. You don’t have to force yourself.”

“You might like it if you get used to it.”

Ji Fengmian glanced at him and smiled casually. “It’s meaningless.”

Chu Boyang stared at her. “It’s only because I like her.”

Ji Fengmian remained silent.

Chu Boyang added, “Those lilies need special care. After all, it’s not the best time to plant them.”

Ji Fengmian nodded calmly. “It’s what it is. I’m not that ignorant.”

Perhaps Chu Boyang had his own stubbornness. “Just put in more effort.”

After Ji Fengmian finished his last mouthful of rice, he glanced at the gazes from the side. He pursed his lips and stood up.

“I suggest you eat more.”

Chu Boyang watched her leave and rarely heard her say such things.

Not long after Ji Fengmian left, Ji Qing sat in front of him with a tray.

She handed a steamed bun to Chu Boyang. “Do you want to eat more?”

Chu Boyang looked at his empty bowl and reached out to take it.

“Who are you hiding from?”

Ji Qing took a small bite and replied vaguely, “Yes… you know that Sister Mian doesn’t like me.”

Chu Boyang took a bite of the bun. “She has a bad temper.”

Ji Qing ate very slowly. “Anyway… I’m quite afraid of her. Last time, I thought that she was the one who destroyed the lilies. Although I didn’t say anything, I think it was because of me that she suffered so much…”

“I’m fine now.”

Although Chu Boyang had read a lot, he was indeed not familiar with comforting others.

Even he was involved in this matter. He had wronged her and still felt uneasy.

However, with Ji Fengmian’s personality, how could she have the patience and energy to waste on such meaningless matters?

However, Ji Qing shook her head lightly, feeling puzzled. “Are you really fine?”

Chu Boyang looked at her. “What else do you think?”

Ji Qing shook her head again. “I don’t know either. I keep feeling that Sister Mian really lost her temper back then. Although she’s usually cold, I’ve never seen her lose her temper. If she’s really fine, that would be great.”

Ji Qing’s words bothered Chu Boyang.

He didn’t know what was wrong, but it made him panic even more.

In reality, Ji Qing was indeed very meticulous. The inexplicable panic in Chu Boyang’s heart was confirmed half a month later, which was the day after Ji Fengmian’s birthday.

That day, the second batch of garlic sprouts was sent to the canteen. In the afternoon, there was an inevitable meal of scrambled eggs.

It was just a few more dishes than usual.

After the meal, everyone was given an exquisite cake.

The cafeteria was filled with laughter. Ye Jingyun was there too.

Ji Fengmian held the cake while Chu Boyang sat beside her. He ate the cake as if he was eating onions.

There were very few girls who didn’t like desserts.

It was the same for Ji Fengmian.

Ye Jingyun sat beside her with a dazed expression. She didn’t say a word to Ji Fengmian.

“Happy birthday.”

Ji Fengmian paused and turned to look at Chu Boyang.

“What?”

Chu Boyang laughed. “It’s only your birthday today, right?”

Ye Jingyun was a little surprised.

Chu Boyang handed a transparent gla.s.s bottle to Ji Fengmian.

“I don’t have the ability to give you a good gift now. In fact, I won’t be able to give you one in the next few years. So you can write down the gift you want and store it in a bottle. When I can take charge, I’ll fulfill all your wishes unconditionally.”

Ji Fengmian held the empty gla.s.s bottle with both hands and fell into a daze.

“Is it only allowed on birthdays? Is it not allowed at other times?”

Chu Boyang said helplessly, “No matter what, you can have whatever you want.”

Ji Fengmian raised an eyebrow and hugged the gla.s.s bottle.

“Then I have to think about it carefully. A villa and a luxury car are definitely indispensable. It seems like I don’t have to work hard in this life and I can live comfortably.”

Ye Jingyun laughed dryly and said carefully, “You two will get married in the future, right?”

Ji Fengmian and Chu Boyang were stunned and turned to look at her.

“Married?”

Ye Jingyun was so frightened by their gazes that she cowered. She didn’t know what to say.

After being nervous for a long time, she mustered her courage and said, “That’s what they say on television, right? Such words are mostly made by boys to girls. They should be said on the premise of marriage…”

Ji Fengmian was stunned and turned to look at Chu Boyang. “So…”

Chu Boyang snapped back to reality, but he still looked at her. “I didn’t think that much.”

His gaze was really honest.

Ji Fengmian also found it ridiculous.

What was she thinking?

She had not even grown wings at such a young age and was already thinking about the future.

“If Xiao Yun didn’t say it, I wouldn’t have thought of it. So… since it’s not, I’ll accept this gift with a clear conscience.”

“Yeah.”

Ji Fengmian took out his bag and placed the bottle inside.

Chu Boyang glanced at her empty bag and frowned.

After putting the bottle away, Ji Fengmian started eating the cake again.

There was a faint smile on her face.

Even when Ji Qing walked over, the smile on her face didn’t completely disappear.

She cupped her chin with the fork in her hand and looked at Ji Qing with a faint smile. However, she didn’t speak.

Ji Qing’s scalp turned numb from her stare and she handed the gla.s.s bottle to Ji Fengmian.

Ji Fengmian took a glance and his eyes darkened.

“Um… I heard from Brother Boyang that today is your birthday…”

Ji Fengmian lowered his eyes and looked at the gla.s.s bottle in her hand.

Ji Qing paused and looked a little embarra.s.sed. “I know I’ve caused you a lot of trouble last time. These lilies are your hard work. I know you’re upset that they were destroyed. I saved these. I hope they can be a memento for you.”

Ji Fengmian took another bite of the cake. “…Who else did you tell about my birthday today?”

This was obviously said by Chu Boyang.

Ji Qing looked at Chu Boyang worriedly.

Ji Fengmian’s personality was cold and unpredictable. No one knew which words would accidentally provoke her.

Coupled with her current state, she didn’t have a good feeling.

Chu Boyang said calmly, “She’s the only one. She’s been looking for an opportunity to apologize to you. I think this is a good opportunity. I’m not that stupid. Since Uncle Chu has the intention to hide your real birthday, I naturally won’t go around making a fuss.”

Ji Fengmian suddenly sneered. The fork in his hand twirled the strawberries on the cake a few times and they were covered in cream.

“You’re not stupid, so you can tell Ji Qing about this. Why? What guarantee did she give you that you trust her so much?”

When Ji Qing heard this, she finally understood something and hurriedly said, “Sister Mian, don’t worry. I definitely didn’t tell anyone and I won’t tell anyone in the future!”

“Did I ask you anything?”

Ji Fengmian’s words were cold. During this period, she finally looked up at her. That glance was like a sharp ice blade, scaring Ji Qing so much that she stood rooted to the ground and couldn’t help but shrink her shoulders.

Chu Boyang frowned. “She won’t tell anyone.”

Ji Fengmian was silent for a few seconds. “So she didn’t even promise you because you trusted her?”

Chu Boyang’s expression darkened. He frowned and stared at her as if she was being unreasonable.

“I told you, she wants to apologize to you.”

“I also said that I hate her! What are you thinking? Do you think I’ll forgive someone I hate?”

Chu Boyang put down his fork. “Must you be so extreme?”

“If I’m really extreme, do you think you have the right to talk to me now?” Ji Fengmian’s lips curled into a smile that was as cold as it could be. She stared at Chu Boyang for a long time, but the overflowing anger was suppressed bit by bit. “That’s true. There’s something wrong with my brain. What am I thinking? I actually have indescribable expectations for you. I’m really finding trouble for myself.”

She sneered and turned to look at the gla.s.s bottle in Ji Qing’s hand.

There were three lilies inside. They had been dried and maintained their form.

“Looks like you’ve inherited your Brother Boyang’s skills. You’re indeed opportunistic.”

As she spoke, she took it and sized it up.

“Chu Boyang,” she said suddenly, “I admit that Ji Qing is kind, gentle, and likable, but this doesn’t mean that everyone has to accept her. In terms of extremes, I can’t compare to you. What’s more ridiculous is that if it were you, it would be fine, but you did it for someone else.”

She stuffed the strawberry covered in cream into her mouth. It wasn’t that sweet.

“Yes, Ji Qing is so beautiful, but her brain hasn’t developed yet. Why is she only glaring at me? Look around. Look at how I’ve wronged your Sister Ji Qing.”

Chu Boyang looked up instinctively. In an instant, his face turned cold.

“Didn’t Ji Fengmian celebrate his birthday last month? Why is Xiao Qing giving him a birthday present today?”

“No wonder we have cake to eat today.”

“I remember that we eat cake not long after Ji Fengmian’s birthday every year.”

“Teacher, why do we only have one birthday every year?”

The teacher beside her was fl.u.s.tered. “No, you’re mistaken. It’s not anyone’s birthday today.”

“But Little Qing just said that it’s Ji Fengmian’s birthday…”

“She… she’s just giving Ji Fengmian a birthday present…”

The teacher felt guilty saying these words.

Ji Qing was also fl.u.s.tered as she looked at Chu Boyang helplessly.

“I… don’t know…”

Chu Boyang retracted his gaze. “… You should know that she didn’t mean it.”

Ji Fengmian nodded. “Yes, I know. She’s still a child, so she’s naturally not that scheming.”

With that, she stood up slowly and smiled at the helpless and timid Ji Qing.

“You want to apologize to me, and then what? You’re kind and gentle, innocent and cute. Everyone thinks that way. I’m scheming and cold to everyone. Everyone knows that. You know that I hate you, but you still want to get close to me. Do you think that someone hates you so much that you can’t stand it, so you want to conquer me? Or… is being with a notorious person like me more indicative of how good you are? How annoying am I?”

Ji Qing shook her head helplessly. “I really feel sorry for you…”

Ji Fengmian stared at her for a while, his slender body exuding an intimidating aura.

No one could understand what she was thinking and what she would do.

Chu Boyang also stood up. “This is my fault…”

Ji Fengmian ignored him. Instead, he looked at Ji Qing and extended the gla.s.s bottle to her. “From what you said, you’re indeed kind. Actually, you don’t have to feel sorry for me…”

As Ji Fengmian spoke, he suddenly raised his hand and smashed the gla.s.s bottle to the ground.

The sound of gla.s.s shattering instantly silenced the entire canteen. The children were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

Ji Qing was trembling all over.

Ji Fengmian smiled and stepped on the gla.s.s shards on the ground, shattering the flowers.

“Look, I’m such a bad person. Is it too much to trample on your sincerity? So, are you still sorry for me?”

[I saw a lot of little cuties saying that they can’t understand it. Today, I’ll make the plot simple and easy to understand. There will inevitably be a little flaw in the details, but! I’ll only accept praise. I’ll look for Bug’s original plot!]
