Chapter 704 Jiang Ruan's Shadow

Chapter 704 Jiang Ruan's Shadow

"I asked Miss Jiang for the types of flowers, but I was so busy today that I forgot. I just remembered," Lin Bei continued. "That's why I asked the florist to come and help me."

He doesn't know how to do flower arranging or anything like that.

If he were to do it, the result would definitely be a messy bottle of "wild herbs".

Forget about adjusting your mood; you'd probably get thrown out by the boss, bottle and all.

"Why didn't you say so just now?" Huo Zhizhou stared at him.

“I wanted to say something,” Lin Bei said, his voice as soft as a quail, “but you didn’t give me a chance to speak.”

When I entered the shop and saw the florist arranging flowers, I started to get angry.

He tried to call out to them, but the cold air made him afraid to even breathe.

If Jiang Yu hadn't suddenly called, I'd probably still be stuck in this gloomy atmosphere.

"It was wrong of me to change the layout of your room without your permission, I admit it." Lin Bei was good at saving face for himself. "I'll accept whatever punishment you want."

Huo Zhizhou: "Let Ruan Ruan teach you flower arranging."

Lin Bei: "?"

Lin Bei thought he had misheard: "What?"

Huo Zhizhou's eyes flickered slightly, realizing that he had unconsciously indulged himself again. After a moment of silence, he forcibly suppressed his emotions: "It's nothing. Apologize to the florist and give him some money."

"Okay," Lin Bei agreed.

Huo Zhizhou had completely calmed down: "Go and get busy."

Lin Bei didn't leave. Thinking about what he had just heard, he tentatively asked, "You just told me to go find Miss Jiang to learn flower arranging..."

He seemed to have heard correctly.

That's what the boss said.

Huo Zhizhou had calmed down: "You misheard."

"I heard you tell me to go find Miss Jiang..." Lin Bei swallowed the rest of his words when Huo Zhizhou looked at him. He straightened up and honestly changed his words, "You're right, I misheard."

Huo Zhizhou hummed in agreement.

Lin Bei picked up the remaining flower from the ground: "Then I'll go and get back to work."

Huo Zhizhou: "Mm."

Lin Bei immediately made his escape.

After apologizing and offering compensation to the frightened shop owner, he sent Jiang Ruan a message: "Ms. Jiang, are you busy? I need to speak with you about something."

Although the boss wouldn't admit it, he was certain that he had asked him to learn flower arranging from Miss Jiang.

Jiang Ruan had just finished washing up and was sitting on the bed.

I replied immediately upon seeing the message: 【Go ahead.】

Lin Bei's fingers flew across the keyboard on his phone: "Could you teach me flower arranging? I was thinking of having the florist deliver it, but the boss doesn't allow outsiders in here."

Jiang Ruan: [Can't we go get it?]

Lin Bei: [No.]

Jiang Ruan frowned slightly.

Lin Bei: [Is it okay? (Starry-eyed) jpg]

Jiang Ruan: "..."

Thinking of the flowers blooming at Huo Zhizhou's residence, Jiang Ruan told him how to make them. Afraid that he wouldn't understand or be able to learn, she even found a similar video to share with him.

Lin Bei: "Thank you, Miss Jiang!"

Jiang Ruan's phone vibrated from the loud voice message.

About half an hour later.

Lin Bei took a picture of her flower arrangement and sent it to Jiang Ruan: [(Picture) What do you think?]

The first thing Jiang Ruan thought of when she clicked on the link was: a complete mess.

Out of consideration for Lin Bei's lack of experience, she replied: "It's alright."

Lin Bei instantly became smug.

Just as she was about to carry the flower arrangement she had just finished to Huo Zhizhou's room, she saw Jiang Yu arrive home.

He immediately showed off his flower arrangement to him, as if to boast: "Hmph."

Jiang Yu glanced at it and casually asked, "Where did you find this?"

Lin Bei: "???"

Jiang Yu: "Is the BOSS still angry?"

After mentioning Miss Jiang during the call, this guy hung up.

"What do you mean by this?" Lin Bei was disgusted by his aesthetic sense.

"A bunch..." Jiang Yu searched for a suitable adjective in his mind, "...a jumble of flowers?"

"You're so ignorant." Lin Bei rolled his eyes at him, and said with a hint of smugness, "This is the flower arrangement I made for the BOSS. Miss Jiang even praised how beautiful it was!"

Jiang Yu: "?"

Jiang paused for two seconds.

Could this pile of ugly things possibly catch Miss Jiang's eye?

Putting everything else aside, Ms. Jiang's aesthetic sense has always been on point. Whether it's the decorations in her home, the clothes she wears, or her hairstyle and makeup, everything she does is always very beautiful.

"Don't believe me?" Lin Bei looked at his expression of utter disbelief and immediately showed him his chat history with Jiang Ruan. "Open your dog eyes and take a good look."

Jiang Yu read it.

I watched the video shared by Jiang Ruan and saw the flowers made by Lin Bei.

Aside from both being plants and flowers, he couldn't find any similarities whatsoever.

He typed a few words on Lin Bei's phone and clicked send: "I'll put it in the BOSS room then."

Lin Bei snatched it away: "What are you doing!"

Jiang Yu: "Waiting for a reply."

Lin Bei gave him a disgruntled look, but his tense heart relaxed slightly after seeing that he didn't send any nonsense: "I know what Miss Jiang will say without even waiting for me."

Jiang Yu: "What?"

Lin Bei: "I'll definitely reply with 'uh-huh' or 'okay'."

Jiang Yu: "I think it's a suggestion for revision."

Lin Bei: "Impossible, mine is already perfect."

Jiang Yu looked at the pitiful pile of flowers and was momentarily unsure whether to feel sorry for the flowers or for Ms. Jiang on the other side of the screen.

This pile of ugly stuff.

I want to praise someone, but I don't know where to start.

If I had to praise something, I could only say that the flowers are blooming beautifully.

While the two were discussing, Jiang Ruan was struggling with her decision. Knowing Huo Zhizhou as she did, she knew that having this messy pile of flowers in his room would not only fail to improve his mood, but would actually make it worse.

After careful consideration.

She typed a sentence, trying to be as tactful as possible to avoid hurting anyone: "If it were placed in Huo Zhizhou's room, it could be slightly modified; he has some requirements regarding the height and placement of each type of flower."

When Lin Bei saw the message, he replied to Jiang Yu: "Did you hear that? It's just a minor repair."

These words had barely left his lips.

It's a long speech-to-text transcript by Jiang Ruan.

She taught him how to trim, how to cut, and where to put things.

After a series of prunings, the unsightly pile of flowers in Linbei has been transformed into something to admire.

"This is no different from before." Lin Bei stared at the flower, puzzled.

Jiang Yu: "..."

It's hopeless.

Not long after.

Lin Bei happily presented the flowers.

Huo Zhizhou was currently in his room staring at his phone, where Jiang Ruan's chat window was displayed.

He wanted to message her, but he was afraid of bothering her.

"Boss," Lin Bei said, taking the flower arrangement inside and placing it where Jiang Ruan had indicated, "how do you think it is?"

Huo Zhizhou looked over.

His gaze flickered for a moment when it fell on the flowers.

It was as if he saw Jiang Ruan's shadow in that picture, seeing her holding scissors in one hand and flowers in the other, smiling warmly as she told him that the flowers were of very high quality and smelled wonderful...

Listen to her tell interesting stories, and hear her concern for his fatigue.

"BOSS?"

"BOSS!"

Lin Bei raised his hand and waved in front of him.

My mind involuntarily wandered to the idea: Could it be that his trimming was so beautiful and exquisite that the BOSS was mesmerized?
