Chapter 11 : His impression of her had been too inflexible

Start from the beginning
                                    

Although she never crossed that invisible line with Wei YiChen, to others they were considered 'close,' so trouble befell her.

As she ended the call, she caught a glimpse of something near the cash register. It was the chicken set that she ordered.

She walked towards the counter and touched the box. The meal was already cold, with a few drops of water hanging from the sides due to condensation. Somehow, Xiang ChangKong's face appeared in her mind again, along with that strange feeling. She opened the takeaway app on her phone and for the first time, paid attention to the name of the man who delivered the meal.

Xiang ChangKong.

She read the name in her heart and gave him a five-star rating.

After closing the app, she picked up her long-cold lunch and found a paper bag to put her Anthurium in. She then locked up her store and drove away. Her first stop was a nearby flower shop in which she asked the florist owner if she could save her Anthurium.

"It's alright, as long as the roots weren't cut they'll be able to live. You can go ahead and choose another flowerpot and I can re-plant them for you." Most of Xu Lian's flowers came from this young florist woman who had a gentle temperament.

Xu Lian circled the shop and eventually chose a flowerpot similar to the one she broke: "You can take your time, I'll just come back tomorrow."

"Alright." The owner nodded and said: "The last batch of tablets I got from you are almost sold out, and I wanted to order another batch."

Xu Lian's gypsum tablets sell quite well in this flower shop, many like to pair them with the bouquets they bought.

"That's fine, but I've had a lot of orders this month, so I can't make as much."

"I'll order a little less and wait until you're not as swamped."

The two soon agreed on the number of tablets and the scheduled delivery. Later, Xu Lian left the florist and was planning on just going directly home when she noticed the florist's daughter nearby painting.

She tilted her head down and saw that the little girl was painting a sea of flowers in Starlight Park. The colorful flowers were mesmerizing, making one feel like they were peeking in fairyland.

Xu Lian waved as she passed: "Goodbye, little girl."

The little girl looked up with a smile and waved back.

After Xu Lian arrived home, she put the cold chicken meal in the microwave, then sat in her living room and ate it. She had eaten this chicken set from Wolong kitchen way too many times. It wasn't particularly good and was just something that fit her tastes.

But tonight, she felt that it tasted a little different from usual.

Was it because she reheated it?

Xu Lian picked up her phone and opened the takeaway app. She usually didn't write reviews, but for some reason, she suddenly wanted to post a comment.

"Is today's chicken set made by another chef? It tastes better than usual. In addition, I'd like to especially praise the takeaway brother. Thank you very much for his help today."

After a while, the restaurant responded: The chef didn't change, miss. Maybe the warmth of the delivery man made the food a little bit tastier.

Xu Lian:...

After leaving the police station, Xiang ChangKong made several phone calls to explain the situation to his customers. He mentioned that he was willing to pay for their meals, but he still received a complaint. Xiang ChangKong didn't dwell on his matter though and simply insisted on finishing his day's work. On his way home, he dropped by a small pharmacy and bought himself some medicine.
