The commercial street in the old city of K country is on a higher ground, with one side facing the sea.
The buildings on both sides of the street are made of beige stone bricks, with roofs covered with red tiles. There is a domed watchtower every 100 meters.
The sun was still warm after five o'clock, and with the sea breeze, it didn't make people feel too hot.
Ling Lu and Gu Zhiye were wandering aimlessly on this street with their fingers clasped together and wearing sunglasses.
": Let's go have a cup of coffee?" Ling Lu suggested while looking at the coffee shop in front of him.
": It's up to you." Gu Zhi also held her hand and opened the door for her.
Ling Lu was always thinking about the flower shop she just passed by. Unfortunately, there were many customers in the coffee shop at this time, so the things she and Gu Zhiye ordered were delayed. At six o'clock later, they would rush to Xincheng for dinner.
She kept looking at the counter, and then looked down at the time on the screen of her phone.
Gu Zhi also saw that she looked a little anxious, ": Lu Lu, our dinner time can be postponed, it's okay."
": No, no, no, I'm not in a hurry." Ling Lu She has read the random reply. She can postpone the dinner or not, but she is afraid that the flower shop will be closed soon.
": Please use it slowly, both of you."
": Thank you."
Ling Lu held the cup in both hands.
Two seconds later: ": I've finished drinking."
Gu Zhiye moved his hands and just picked it up to smell it.
Ling Lu took out a piece of paper, wiped his mouth casually and said to Gu Zhiye, ": Wait for me here, I will be back soon."
": Take it with you Hold the phone."
": Got it." She walked out of the coffee shop quickly.
Gu Zhiye watched her retreating figure through the floor-to-ceiling window of the coffee shop, and took a calm sip of coffee with a knowing smile on his face.
Ling Lu walked confidently along one of the streets along the vague memories in his mind.
About ten minutes later, she stood under an orange and white vertical striped awning and looked at the blackboard at the door of the flower shop, which had the prices of some flowers written on it.
Since it is located in a tourist area, the boss thought that there would be friends from all over the world, so he used English when writing the prices and flower materials.
Ling Lu walked into this flower shop and was greeted warmly by the owner. She had brown hair and blue eyes, was tall and plump, and was about thirty years old.
"Welcome." The boss looked at the Asian woman with a smile and said in fluent English.
": Can I match the bouquet myself?" Ling Lu answered in fluent English. Although she had a slight accent, there was no timidity on her face.
": Of course."
The climates in K country and Haicheng are very different, and there are many flower materials that Ling Lu has never seen before. Faced with Ling Lu's questions, the boss patiently answered them one by one and gave some suggestions.
After some selection and matching, Ling Lu finally nodded with satisfaction.
": Don't use wrapping paper, just tie it up casually with string."
The color of this bouquet of flowers is very mixed, and adding wrapping paper would make it too fancy for her. .
": Okay, your vision and color sensitivity are very good, this bouquet of flowers is very beautiful."
": Thank you." Ling Lu took the bouquet and asked ": Can you help Can I spray some water on it?"
The temperature outside was at least 28-9 degrees. If she didn't spray some water on her, the bouquet would probably start to wither before she even got to Gu Zhiye.
": Of course."
": Thank you."
": You're welcome."

She paid the money and walked out of the flower shop. Her eyes fell on the bouquet. She looked left and right with a faint smile on her face. It seemed that she was very satisfied with her work.
The flowers in this bouquet include cream peaches, galsang flowers, hydrangeas, giant delphiniums, gladioli and so on.
Flowers of different colors and shapes, such as yellow, white, purple orchid, and green, were bundled together, making Ling Lu feel as if he had been transported back to late spring from the hot summer.
She took a few deep breaths. The fragrance of flowers mixed with the fragrance of green leaves smelled so good.
Wait a minute, she stopped, raised her head and looked around. The buildings around her all looked the same, and she seemed to be on the right track but not right.
She continued to move forward with the idea of walking further. After walking for a few minutes, she felt something was wrong and stopped again.
One second when she was chatting with Gu Zhiye, she was patting her chest and saying that she would be able to find the way, but the next second she had no idea where she was.
": Lu Lu, where are you?" Gu Zhiye asked. He had not come back for forty-eight minutes. He must have lost his way.
": I don't know." Ling Lu lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.
": You turn on location sharing, I will come to you now." Gu Zhiye had a smile in his eyes.
":Okay."
After hanging up the phone and turning on location sharing, Ling Lu found a shady place to wait, and Gu Zhi came faster than expected.
She saw a man who looked a bit like him from a distance, and he turned to hide in a nearby alley as a prank.
The corners of Gu Zhiye's lips raised slightly, revealing a gentle smile.
The two small dots on the screen are getting closer and closer.
Gu Zhiye deliberately stopped before reaching the entrance of the alley. There was a building standing here. If he took two steps forward, he could see the entrance of the alley where Ling Lu was hiding.
He turned off location sharing and was about to call her. When his finger was about to touch the screen, he took it back and sent her a message instead.
[Lu Lu, I’m here, where are you? 】
【Did you go to the wrong place? I didn't see you, how about you take two more steps forward? 】
Ling Lu held the phone and stared at the figure and profile passing in front of him.
Gu Zhi was also very cooperative. He walked forward without looking away. Suddenly...
"Hey." A familiar figure jumped up to him along with the sound of ":Hey." She was on her side, and he was already prepared, opening his arms to hug her firmly.
": It scared me." Gu Zhiye pretended, raising his head slightly and pretending to be trying to calm his breathing after being frightened.
Ling Lu frowned slightly and looked at him with her head tilted. After two breaths, she asked, "Have you seen me a long time ago?"
": I really can't hide anything from you." Gu Zhi also lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead. ": Wife, why didn't you take me with you when you bought flowers?"
Ling Lu belatedly hid the bouquet behind her back. She bit her lower lip with a stubborn expression.
She was extremely satisfied with this bouquet of flowers. She had been admiring it all the way, but at this moment...
In one word, ugly!
The colors didn’t seem to match, and whether the types of flowers were too mixed, etc., kept swirling in her mind. The more she thought about these issues, the more dissatisfied she became with this bouquet of flowers.
She stared at Gu Zhiye's face seriously, and the hesitation and entanglement in her heart made her want to retreat.
She has never been good at choosing gifts. Every time she chooses a gift for Zhou Tingyue, she has to think about it for a long time. Fortunately, no matter what she gives, Zhou Tingyue will like it very much.
But this is Gu Zhiye, will he like it?
Ling Lu suddenly didn’t know whether she should send this bouquet of flowers away. She opened her mouth and held it in for a long time before she choked out one word: "I..."
" "Huh?" Gu Zhi also waited patiently.
