Chapter 392: Chapter 366: Unusual Gifts (Thanks to Anitaqing for the addition of Langyuan Fairy Flowers +3)

“Xiao Mei, do you like raising flowers?” Yu Minglang asked in a pleasing way.

“Yeah, I do, but I can’t keep them alive.”

“When you graduate, let’s raise a few of these big fortune trees. We can put two pots in the living room, and some smaller pots with flowers in the bedroom. I’ll take care of them.”

Yu Minglang was excitedly making plans, and Xiao Qian’s awkwardness was dissipating from his bright smile.

He kept holding her hand, looking at flowers and fish from time to time.

At the flower exhibition, besides the brilliantly blooming orchids, there were various tropical fishes in a row of little shops. Yu Minglang led Xiao Qian around, talking and introducing her to them, while the little demon inside him laughed hysterically.

Without a diamond drill, how could he handle such a delicate task?

To have a pleasant date with Xiao Mei, he had at least read one Orchid Encyclopedia and various tropical fish introductions!

It was all for the sake of pleasing her. It wasn’t easy to learn such knowledge. However, it was all over the place.

Xiao Qian listened to him with a dark expression while maintaining a smile.

He wasn’t easy either. When others were dating a girlfriend, they would look at the Thirty-six Styles of Bed Rolling and all sorts of “practical” techniques. This guy, on the other hand, was like an encyclopedia of A Hundred Thousand Whys. She didn’t know whether to call him smart or dumb?

Didn’t he notice that the shopkeepers’ expressions had turned dark?

The shopkeepers must be thinking “Pah!” inside.

When trying to pick up girls, could you please not treat other people’s shops like a science college? If you know so much about fish, why don’t you just ascend to heaven?

After walking around for a long time, Yu Minglang gave Xiao Qian a detailed introduction of various tropical fishes, and he planned for them how many fish and flowers they should raise after she graduates, and so on.

When there was nothing left to introduce, Xiao Qian let out a long sigh of relief. Yu Xiaoqiang, you better grow up fast, and hurry up to see the house. If you keep wasting time like this, your family will call you to have dinner before you finish the task.

To think Xiao Qian was worried for him, Yu Minglang was really slow. But he didn’t feel slow. Instead, he was quite smug.

Xiao Mei was so happy, following him closely like a little bird. No matter what he said, she looked at him with admiration. Her sharp tongue was gone, replaced by soft murmurs and gentle hums. She was just so incredibly gentle!

Maybe next time, they could read some poultry books and take her to a farmhouse to experience his vast knowledge of other things. Xiao Mei would definitely like him even more!

This must be because their past-life relationships were too deep, and Xiao Qian genuinely liked him. Otherwise, with such emotional quotient, he wouldn’t even dare to have a girlfriend like Xiao Qian. Kicking him would be too easy, followed by flipping him off to show her revenge.

“Your job is very brain-consuming. When you move in, I’ll raise some green plants for you, which will be very good for your brain. I plan to make a ‘thinking room’ on our second floor, where I’ll put some favorite plants. We can sit there together when we have time, drink some tea, and calm our minds. I’ll also get two rocking chairs, one for each of us.”

“Thinking… room?”

Shouldn’t normal people make a study room?

So Yu Xiaoqiang wanted a place to space out, even bringing out rocking chairs?

Did he want them to enter early senility mode?

Xiao Qian was once again amazed by Yu Minglang’s unlimited imagination.

“Yes, I want to make a room where we can relax as soon as we enter, so you won’t feel any pressure. Besides rocking chairs, we can also put some favorite things in there. I think being a psychologist is a job that consumes a lot of brain cells. You shouldn’t read books when you get home from a tiring day outside, just relax your brain and listen to some favorite music while tending to the plants.”

Xiao Qian felt a warm sensation in her heart from his silly speech. It seemed that he could always infuriate her to a certain extent and then, with one sentence, warm her heart. As a result, she liked him even more.

She didn’t know whether to call him smart or dumb, but he could always accidentally break through her psychological defenses.

Xiao Qian’s eyes curved, and she smiled at him.

“Alright.”

Although he always had strange thoughts, at least he always prioritized her, right? He might be clumsy occasionally, but when recalling those moments, it was cute.

Xiao Qian was happy again.

Seeing her smile so brilliantly, Yu Minglang felt happy too. They looked at each other, sparks flying between them.

Suddenly, Yu Minglang’s eyes stopped at a spot next to Xiao Qian, and they lit up.

That’s right, how could he forget such an important thing?

“Qian Bao, close your eyes and stand here waiting for me.”

“Huh?”

“I have a surprise for you.”

Xiao Qian looked around and saw the flower shop behind him. Most of the flowers in the market were potted plants sold with soil, but this shop sold fresh flowers. Delicate roses were kept in buckets, and there were many blooming Bai He flowers, spreading a rich fragrance.

When they entered, Xiao Qian had mentioned that something smelled lovely, and Yu Minglang probably remembered it.

Xiao Qian particularly liked the pink Bai He flower, which she thought would go well with today’s atmosphere.

Finally, he has done something reliable. Xiao Qian happily closed her eyes and waited.

Yu Minglang quickly rushed over and bought what he wanted.

“Qian Bao, stretch out your hand, come~”

Xiao Qian reached out her hand, not feeling the touch of a bouquet but something furry…

Furry?!

She opened her eyes, and a white, fuzzy thing was wiggling in her palm…

“Ah!” she shouted in surprise, feeling a chill down her spine. With a tremor of her hand, the white mouse flew off and landed on the ground with a perfect parabola before quickly flipping and running away.

There were flower pots everywhere, and it disappeared into a crack, leaving Yu Minglang no chance to catch it.

Xiao Qian’s hand still felt the fuzzy touch, and her goosebumps stood up.

Yu Minglang sighed regretfully, “Why did you let it go?”

In his hand, he was still holding an empty cage.

Xiao Qian decided to take back all her good evaluations of him.

“Yu Minglang, have you nothing else to do?! Why would you put a rodent in my hand!”

Xiao Qian, although not scared of mice, felt very annoyed to think he had a white mouse placed in her hand. That touch…

“Miss, it’s not a rodent! This is a hamster, a milk tea hamster!” The hamster seller corrected Xiao Qian with conviction.

Xiao Qian couldn’t help but want to throw a tantrum, and Yu Minglang felt sorry for the loss.

“Boss, it hasn’t even left the door and it’s gone. Can you give us another one? We bought the cage from you…”

“Yu Minglang! I don’t want it, I, don’t, want!” Xiao Qian vowed that she wanted to be an elegant woman, not speaking loudly and always maintaining calm. But who could help it when she met a guy like Yu Xiaoqiang…

It was really difficult to be elegant.
