Flowers bloom silently

Chapter 17 You've lost weight

Haoxuan’s robbery and wounding were not brought under control. Ben, the son of the consortium who was robbed, was so angry that he didn’t buy the city’s account. The incident was reported in the newspaper the next day. Fortunately, it was only a tabloid on the island, but it was exaggerated. , and even dug out the relationship between Haoxuan and LE's family.The reason why the matter did not expand to the extent that the whole world knew about the scandal of the LE family was nothing more than a trick played by businessmen. The S Consortium and the LE Group have been unable to agree on the price of an important business, and Haoxuan's behavior has become a bargaining chip for the S Consortium to lower the price.This business is directly related to the Emperor Sakura Islands. In order to calm the matter and maintain the normal relationship between the two families, the city had to compromise and sign the contract that cost him [-] million US dollars.

For several days in a row, An Keer did not see Cheng Zaijia, nor did she receive any order from Haoxuan.Although she didn't know the details of the incident, she was very aware of the seriousness of the situation.

On a Saturday morning, the garden was full of birdsong and flowers.An Keer took the English book and a breakfast to the pavilion to read in the morning, gnawed at the bread and vaguely recited the text, she was a little careless.

On the south side of the lotus pond, Jianlan blooms one after another in the warm morning light, and the curved cobblestone path passes through the whole orchid garden and extends to the edge of the cliff.The cliff is surrounded by milky white granite fences, and a three-meter-high mermaid statue stands vividly on the granite column on the edge of the cliff. Willing to turn into bubbles in the sun at that moment.

She saw a shaking figure coming out from behind the statue, it was Cheng.Unexpectedly, he didn't sit in a wheelchair, but walked slowly step by step on a crutch. When he walked away from the mermaid statue and walked into the path of Jianlan Garden, he found her in the pavilion.

From a distance, An Ke'er couldn't see clearly what Cheng's expression was when he found her, but she was very happy after not seeing him for several days, and raised her hand holding the notebook, waving at him, against the morning light, he seemed to be fine Responding, he continued walking along the path with a limp.

An Keer shrugged, continued to chew the bread in her mouth, and looked down at the book.However, because of the city, she couldn't concentrate even more. After eating the last piece of bread, she sucked the last half carton of milk and secretly glanced at him who was still advancing at the speed of a turtle in Jianlan Garden.

His vigorous body and slender legs make the 1.7-meter-high five-headed city look extraordinarily tall. The gentle wind blows from the sea, blowing his soft and beautiful short hair, and the light spots of the morning sun lightly shine on the ends of his hair. Jump, dancing like a naughty elf.He exists like a god, a young man who exudes a completely different aura from ordinary people just by standing there.Where he exists, the light seems to be in soft focus, and even the air will flow with a different transparent texture.

An Ke'er's hand holding the book slowly dropped and placed it on her knees, her eyes were attracted.She had never looked at a person so seriously, and it was a man.

However, after watching it for a long time, her heart became inexplicably sad.

Walking slowly in the city alone on crutches, the lonely appearance seems to have engraved loneliness and loneliness into the bones, and the whole body is covered with a deep blue, and no matter how dazzling the sun is, it can't shine in the haze.

Not to mention how rich he is, he has countless friends, at least he has brothers by his side, but why does she feel this way?

Is it an illusion?

The crutch in the city's hand stumbled over a protruding cobblestone. This sudden change caused him, who was already struggling to walk, to stagger, failed to stabilize his body, and fell down——
ah-
An Keer gasped in surprise, dropped the book in her hand, jumped up, rushed out of the pavilion like an arrow, and ran towards him.

"Did you fall?" An Keer rushed to Cheng's side, bent down to support him.However, he was unwilling to accept her assistance, so he pushed her away angrily, and struggled to get up from the ground with one hand on a crutch.The injured right arm was useless, and he looked so embarrassed when he stood up unsteadily out of balance.

Cheng continued to walk on crutches, stunned, An Keer hastily made way for him.Watching him walk past her, she bit her lips and followed silently. When he almost fell down again, she helped him in time.

"Go and read your book!" Cheng is recovering, he doesn't want people to disturb his practice, let alone people watching him in such a mess.

"I don't!" An Ke'er pouted slightly, and followed closely beside him.

"You're annoying!" Again against his will.Cheng coldly threw her a sentence.

An Ke'er frowned childishly: "If you're annoying, be annoying!"

Thinking of his lonely appearance, her heart couldn't help tightening, and she wanted to walk with him for a while.

Glancing at An Keer, who had slightly bulging cheeks, her playfulness and cuteness were fully revealed between her brows.Shiro, who was about to explode at first, slowly pursed his lips, using silence to allow her company.

"You're a little thinner than the previous week." An Keer walked slowly in the Jianlan Garden with Cheng, and the pleasant fragrance of orchids made her, who was a little nervous, relax.She tilted her head to look at him and couldn't help whispering.

"...Is there?" Cheng Wei was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't notice this.

"Yeah!" An Keer nodded, "You eat too little, and you can't sleep well."

"Don't you have several jobs to do? Why do you still have such thoughts?" Cheng chuckled indifferently.

"What's on your mind?" An Keer didn't understand what he was saying, and tilted her head to look at him.

"There are already many people who care about me, so you don't need to do anything more."

"Ha, that's it, then pretend I didn't say it!" An Keer blushed for her self-inflicted humiliation, she shrugged pretending to be free and easy, and slightly turned her face away.

She is even more beautiful with white clouds floating on her face, and the haze on Cheng's face has dissipated a little.Cheng Bo's lips curled slightly, and he remembered something and asked her: "Seafood porridge is delicious, do you drink this when you have no appetite?"

"How can I be so extravagant? My mother cooks preserved egg porridge for me if I don't have a good appetite. Sprinkle some chopped green onions on it. It's delicious." When An Keer said this, she couldn't help but miss her parents who traveled to Penglai Island even more.

"Preserved egg porridge? What does that taste like?"

"Sure enough, he's a child from a rich family. He hasn't even eaten preserved eggs. Will he cook for you if he has a chance?"

"You still cook?"

"Home-cooked meals are still available. The home-cooked meals I'm talking about are different from yours, the kind that ordinary people eat."

Here, An Keer ate high-end dishes that she had never tasted before. Unfortunately, the atmosphere of the meal was too depressing. She was tasteless at the time, and she couldn't recall the taste of the food eaten by those rich people at all.

After walking for too long, Cheng's left leg felt faint pain. He stopped in front of a bench resting on the side of the path, supported his crutches and slowly sat down in the chair, and he motioned for An Keer to sit down too.

"Perhaps, I should change my taste in food, to be more civilian." He looked at a large area of ​​light green orchids in front of him, and the faint fragrance of the flowers attracted a group of butterflies. Dancing between.

"It's a good idea!" An Ke'er also focused on the beautiful scenery in front of her, and nodded in agreement.

"Quit my job at the pizza place!"

"Huh? I thought we talked about this?!"

"How about changing to a more comfortable and profitable job?"

"I'm not capable of that."

"You have."

"Oh?"

An Ke'er turned his attention to Cheng's handsome face, his royal blue eyes shone with a soft light in the sunlight.

"I have the habit of eating supper at night, cook what you know and give it to me!"

"You're just a fresh picture for a while, right?"

"Maybe, at least it saves you from working so hard and gives you more time to study."

"Hey, I don't dare take this job, as you said on the first day, you brothers are difficult to get along with, and you are no exception. Get angry like a beast. If I don't do it to your liking, Wouldn't you splash the food that was brought over to my face directly?"

"Are you afraid?"

Anke curled her lips.

"But a few days ago, you still yelled at me like that. Not only that, you are always rude to people, aren't you? Otherwise, why would you be put in prison?"

"You, do you just like to bring up old things so much? You don't need to remind me of what I have committed. Besides, I don't think there is anything wrong with doing that, whether it's hitting someone or yelling at you."

After finishing speaking, An Ke'er turned her face away, pretending to be angry.

"Since you feel that you are not wrong, why bother to bring up other people's old things again?" Cheng Cheng asked the other party with a serious smile on his face.

An Keer rolled her eyes and let out a sigh of relief: "Okay, if you like to mention it, I don't care. Closer to home, the reason why you asked me to cook you supper is not just what you said?"

"Then what else do you think?"

"For the face of myself and other brothers? You just don't like me doing those things. If I cook for you, it's different. People who don't understand that this is just a job think I'm just doing it for a certain reason. A special relationship is taking care of you."

"What kind of special relationship?" Cheng asked knowingly.

"Cut, put on less." An Ke'er turned her face back slightly, but she didn't look directly at the city, but looked down at her own toes. "Why am I here?"

"...It seems that we don't get along harmoniously. For the sake of the future, this situation has to be improved." An idiot can see how much An Ke'er doesn't like staying here.Cheng was convinced that he was doing it for her own good, even if he couldn't find any more reasons, but he didn't want the house to be noisy all day long - or, he was more worried about his second brother, that guy wouldn't restrain himself , I am afraid that he will become the Nth victim of Anker's fist.

"You know, I've been working hard." Anke raised her head and stared at the city, "If some people are a little easier to get along with like you, the situation will naturally improve."

"Thank you for still having a good impression of me." Cheng smiled faintly.

An Ke'er pursed her lips and shrugged, she didn't think Cheng's words were really a compliment to her.

"Tell me, how do you pay for supper? If the salary is really high enough, I will give you some snacks!" Compared with the relationship between the brothers, An Keer cared more about money.

"The monthly salary is [-], and there will be bonuses depending on performance."

"Hey, don't ask the price casually. I cook it once a day."

"Do you think it's too low or too high?" An Ke'er's eyes were full of the light of copper coins, and a meaningful smile was drawn at the corner of Cheng's mouth.

"Nonsense -" An Keer smiled - even if she delivered ten pizzas for a month, the money she made in a month would not be as much as the city's price.Thinking about paying off the money owed to him with such a salary for a few years, she couldn't be happier.

"Then work hard and cook something that makes me happy to eat."

"I'll do my best. Don't wait too long, just be picky. I'll only cook what ordinary people eat."

"It's good as long as it's delicious, but I declare that it's fine not to make something out of the ordinary, and don't poison the food in order to avoid debt."

"Huh? Thanks to you, I'm not that kind of person."

With a rare sense of humor, Encoreba blinked at the man in front of him, with a bright smile on his face.
