Chapter 8 The Dark Cloud Behind Happiness 2
Qian Mengmeng sat on the back seat of the bicycle, holding Pei Haochuan's waist with both hands. She never dared to really hug him. When passing through a few bumpy places, Qian Mengmeng just held the corner of Pei Haochuan's clothes tightly.
Feeling a slight restraint from somewhere behind him, Pei Haochuan, who was pedaling leisurely in front, smiled, and then suddenly accelerated on a downhill slope.
"Ah!" Qian Mengmeng suddenly closed her eyes and hugged Pei Haochuan's waist!
After the plan succeeded, the smile on Pei Haochuan's mouth reached his eyes, emitting a dazzling light under the scorching sun.
The place where Pei Haochuan took Qian Mengmeng was the Garden Expo Park, which was three blocks away from Qian Mengmeng's home. Garden designs, flowers and plants from all over the world were usually exhibited here. Recently, the Rainbow Flower Show was being held. As the name suggests, flowers of various colors were designed in the form of a rainbow, with the meaning of "colorful and blooming".
Qian Mengmeng is busy with her part-time job on weekdays, and she would not easily attend such exhibitions unless she was hired for work. This was also her first time to go out and play with friends, so when she arrived at the exhibition area, she looked around and was dazzled.
"It turns out that even camellia has various varieties and names. I always thought that flowers are just flowers, nothing special."
After visiting a camellia exhibition, Qian Mengmeng couldn't help but talk to Pei Haochuan: "And those succulents, they are only that big, but some are sold for more than three hundred yuan, which is simply a sky-high price. If it were me, I would rather use this money to buy food. It's only for viewing but not for use. What's the point..."
The spring sunshine sprinkled on the girl's smooth face. The tip of her fair and beautiful nose was oozing with sweat from running around, and her delicate cheeks were rosy due to the physical exertion. Pei Haochuan looked at her red little mouth opening and closing, and couldn't help but think that Qian Mengmeng was very cute.
"But although I don't quite understand why a few leaves can be so expensive, if I had money, I would still buy a lot of them and put them at home. They look nice, hehe..."
"Well, I'll give it to you later." Pei Haochuan looked at her with a smile and reached out to scratch her nose.
"No, no need to give it to me..." Qian Mengmeng waved her hands quickly after hearing this, fearing that the other party would misunderstand her. "I'm just talking. Besides, if I like it, I'll buy it myself ..."
They have now walked near the Rainbow Bridge, which is the tallest facility in the Garden Expo Park. In order to prevent people from falling, iron art has been built on both sides of the bridge to wrap the bridge. Because an exhibition will be held, the bridge is now filled with flowers, and the iron railings that surround the bridge are hung with love locks of various colors and shapes.
Pei Haochuan was walking beside Qian Mengmeng. When he heard her say this, he turned around and was about to refute, but his expression suddenly changed!
"Meng Meng, be careful !"
Before Qian Mengmeng knew what was happening, Pei Haochuan took her into his arms and suddenly rolled to the ground!
Then there was a loud bang!
It turned out that the flower stand that was under construction next to Qian Mengmeng collapsed! This was a big shock, Qian Mengmeng quickly got up from the ground and went to see Pei Haochuan.
"I'm fine."
A gentle and steady voice came from above my head.
The flower stands that were more than two meters high all fell to the ground. If Pei Haochuan hadn't reacted quickly, Qian Mengmeng might have been in the hospital. Qian Mengmeng only realized it now and asked, "Why did you do this?"
Pei Haochuan was stunned by what she said, and then he said softly: "I'm fine, right?"
"What if something happens?" Qian Mengmeng interrupted him directly. She didn't know what was wrong, but she felt a surge of anger. "The flower stand fell down, so it fell down. You ran to save me without caring about your own safety. If something happens to you, what do you want me to think?"
"Mengmeng..." Pei Haochuan looked at her in a daze.
Qian Mengmeng's chest rose and fell violently, and her eyes were slightly red: "What if I get hit by the flower stand? What if something really happens? You are so impulsive, have you ever considered the feelings of the people around you? You..."
All her next words were buried in Pei Haochuan's chest. His heartbeat was steady and powerful. He patted Qian Mengmeng's back gently and said softly, "It's okay. Isn't it okay? I promise you that if you encounter something like this again..."
He left the words unsaid, Qian Mengmeng crawled out of his arms and looked at him puzzledly: "What will happen if we meet again?"
"Let's do it this way."
"Hey!" Qian Mengmeng hit his chest!
"Okay," Pei Haochuan held her fist, "If you don't want more people to see us, you should get up first."
Sure enough, there were a lot of people watching around them because of the previous commotion. Unable to bear so many curious eyes, Qian Mengmeng blushed and stood up with Pei Haochuan. It happened that a sun shower started at this time, so Qian Mengmeng and Pei Haochuan hurried to the nearby Japan Pavilion to take shelter from the rain with the crowd.
After the rain, the sky became clear again. Suddenly, a rainbow appeared in the clear sky. Qian Mengmeng exclaimed, "How beautiful!"
The rainbow in the sky and the colorful flowers on the Rainbow Bridge together form a beautiful scene of double rainbows.
"I heard that if lovers lock their hearts together on a bridge under the witness of a rainbow, they will never be apart."
A couple stood next to Qian Mengmeng and Pei Haochuan. The girl looked at the rainbow and whispered. Before Qian Mengmeng could respond, Pei Haochuan beside her whispered, "Wait for me."
Not far from the Rainbow Bridge there was a shop that specialized in selling these love locks. Qian Mengmeng watched Pei Haochuan carefully selecting in the shop for a while, then he took the lock he had chosen, paid the bill and walked towards her.
"Let's lock this pair of love locks on the Rainbow Bridge together." Pei Haochuan handed one of the pink locks to Qian Mengmeng, and then pulled her to the Rainbow Bridge without saying anything.
"What are you doing..." It made them look like a couple, Qian Mengmeng couldn't help but blush, "Love locks or something..."
But Pei Haochuan completely ignored what she was saying. He carefully found a spot on the Rainbow Bridge that was covered with love locks, then turned around and looked at Qian Mengmeng, urging her, "Hurry up, the rainbow is almost gone."
Without caring about anything else, Qian Mengmeng quickly ran to Pei Haochuan and hung the love lock on the Rainbow Bridge with him.
"This way, we won't be separated."
A gentle breeze blew by, and Qian Mengmeng, with her head lowered, heard Pei Haochuan's gentle and low voice. It felt like honey was overflowing in her heart, and her whole body was sweet. Even a fool would know what Pei Haochuan meant now.
During the whole day, Qian Mengmeng walked around the Garden Expo Park with Pei Haochuan in this heart-warming and sweet mood. They went to the flower arrangement hall, and Pei Haochuan made a bouquet of beautiful flowers for her. Qian Mengmeng sat on the back seat of Pei Haochuan's bicycle holding the bouquet, and returned home in the evening accompanied by the sunset.
They parted at the gate of the community. Qian Mengmeng was about to leave when Pei Haochuan stopped her.
"Remember to scan the QR code."
The boy put one foot on the ground, held the handlebars of the bicycle with both hands, turned his head and said to Qian Mengmeng.
Qian Mengmeng thought for a while before she realized what Pei Haochuan was talking about. She smiled sweetly and took out her phone and shook it: "It's all in my phone! I'll scan it when I get back!"
In the sunset, Pei Haochuan smiled shyly at Qian Mengmeng, and then rode away on his bicycle. The wind filled his robe, and he strangely felt full of vigor and vitality.
Qian Mengmeng withdrew her gaze, held the flowers and smiled foolishly all the way to the downstairs of her house, and then she saw Wen Yuzheng.
"Brother Yuzheng? Why are you here?" Qian Mengmeng was surprised to see Wen Yuzheng. Given that Brother Yuzheng worked overtime until midnight every day, how could he come back so early?
"Were you with Pei Haochuan just now?" Wen Yuzheng asked instead of answering her question.
The expression on his face was a little gloomy. Qian Mengmeng didn't know what was going on, but she nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Yuzheng, don't you have to work overtime? I've never seen you come back so early before..."
"Is this also a gift from him to you?" Wen Yuzheng still did not answer her question. Instead, he pointed at the bouquet of flowers in her arms and asked.
"Yes, yes..." Qian Mengmeng was stunned for a moment. After receiving the affirmative answer, the unhappy aura emanating from Wen Yuzheng was too strong. Qian Mengmeng looked at him cautiously and said, "Brother Yuzheng, what's wrong?"
Qian Mengmeng's clear eyes flashed with innocent doubt. Wen Yuzheng then realized that he had gone too far. He turned his face away and coughed softly, saying, "Nothing, just asking."
"Oh..." Qian Mengmeng nodded doubtfully.
"I've improved your app recently and it's ready to be upgraded. I'm here to tell you how to use it."
"Ah? Really?" Qian Mengmeng became happy when talking about business. She walked to Wen Yuzheng excitedly and said happily, "Brother Yuzheng! You are so awesome! I didn't expect you to even think of this! You are worthy of being my good brother!"
Seeing the girl's smiling face, Wen Yuzheng's mood seemed to improve: "Give me the phone."
Qian Mengmeng took out her phone and gave it to Wen Yuzheng as she was told. He lowered his head to open her phone screensaver, and then saw a photo of a QR code.
"Hmm?" Wen Yuzheng raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Qian Mengmeng in confusion.
"Ah, this is the breakfast coupon Haochuan gave me. He said that I can get a lot of discounts if I scan the QR code." Qian Mengmeng said happily.
Wen Yu noticed that Qian Mengmeng called the man's name "Haochuan", and his brows, which had just relaxed, frowned again. He held up his phone and asked, "Do you want to scan it now?"
"Okay, I'm afraid I'll forget it when I get home later." Qian Mengmeng said nonchalantly.
So Wen Yuzheng long-pressed on the photo, and when the option of "Recognize the QR code in the picture" appeared on the phone, he gently tapped the option with his hand, and then, a huge -
"Qian Mengmeng, I like you"
Seven big characters.
