"Then I'll take this one~" It sounded perfect for her, the girl's eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile spread across her face.

"How many layers of decorative paper do you want? What color?"

"Two layers, pink, with some stripes."

"Okay, please wait a moment." Gu Cheng returned to the cashier and wrapped the flowers even more beautifully.

Thank you for your patronage, and welcome to visit us again!

On Valentine's Day, customers kept coming in one after another, and with only Gu Cheng and Su Wanxi in the flower shop, they were inevitably busy and flustered. After seeing off this customer, Gu Cheng finally had a moment to drink a sip of sweet coffee.

As she drank, she glanced at Su Wanxi out of the corner of her eye. Standing in front of Su Wanxi was a refined-looking man wearing glasses.

Another one... This is the second person to bring flowers to Su Wanxi today.

The first one was the young man who frequented the place, but Gu Cheng didn't recognize the one she was seeing now.

"Thank you, but I have no intention of dating in the next few years, so please take the flowers back." Su Wanxi politely took a step back, calmly creating distance between them.

"I just hope..." The man moved his lips twice, his gaze towards the other person deep and passionate.

"If you still want to buy flowers, you can look over there." Su Wanxi said calmly, dismissing him, then turned away and stopped looking at him.

The man tightened his tie and walked out of the flower shop dejectedly, while Gu Cheng, who was sitting in the corner, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Buying flowers here and then giving them to the shop owner..." Su Wanxi shook her head, unable to understand the other person's thinking.

“Perhaps he even finds it quite romantic?” Gu Cheng said.

"Romantic...I don't think so, but it's definitely a waste of money." Su Wanxi smiled and put the cut branches into a trash bag.

"Are you tired? Today was really busy."

"It's okay, just my shoulders are a little sore." Gu Cheng rubbed her lower back and then finished the sweet coffee in the can.

Standing in the same position was much more uncomfortable than training; Gu Cheng's waist and shoulders ached unbearably.

Su Wanxi noticed this and quietly went behind her, gently kneading her shoulders with her soft, delicate hands.

"Ugh... um... thank you~" Gu Cheng was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but moan softly.

"Do you want me to use a little more force?" Su Wanxi's lips were close to her ear, her breath sweet as orchids.

"No, no need, it's just right." With a slight blush, Gu Cheng closed her eyes comfortably.

Su Wanxi controlled the force and position perfectly, and the girl lay on the chair, letting out intermittent soft moans.

"Su...Wanxi, how come you don't even know this...?"

It felt like soaking in a bathtub at home, my whole body felt soft and limp.

“I used to massage my family’s hands.” It’s been almost ten years… The light in Su Wanxi’s eyes dimmed slightly, but quickly returned to normal.

"Is that so..." Gu Cheng nodded, not asking any further questions, and silently enjoyed this hard-won leisure time.

"Su Wanxi, can you play the piano?" the girl asked softly, her voice filled with tenderness.

"Yes, do you want to hear it?" Su Wanxi's hand slid down her back and landed on her waist near her spine.

"Well, if there's a chance."

"Ah...uh." Pressing on one of the acupoints, a tingling sensation spread through my lower back, and the soreness began to subside.

"Why are you suddenly asking me if I can play the piano?" Gu Cheng's heart began to race as her smooth black hair intertwined.

"Because of your fingers..."

"Fingers?" Su Wanxi looked at her curiously.

"Hmm, slender and fair fingers, with distinct knuckles, they were simply born to play the piano..."

Gu Cheng remembered that during their first handshake, she noticed the thin calluses on Su Wanxi's fingers. If the calluses on the fingertips could be explained by years of holding a gun, then the calluses on the fingertips could only be explained by playing musical instruments.

Gu Cheng really likes girls who play the piano. When she was little, she was always captivated by the girls who played the piano on TV.

Dignified and elegant, certain characteristics of the piano perfectly match Su Wanxi's temperament.

"I don't play very well."

"I've never heard of it, don't underestimate yourself." This sentence sounded so familiar. Su Wanxi's lips curled up slightly, her fingers wandering on Gu Cheng's waist, and then she suddenly pinched the tender flesh lightly.

"Pfft... It's so itchy... Su..." Her shoulders trembled violently, and the girl's slender waist squirmed back and forth on the chair.

"So sensitive, Orange~" After a short while, Gu Cheng's rosy cheeks were covered with fine sweat.

"Um... I think I left my key here." A female voice interrupted their actions. Gu Cheng straightened up and broke free from Su Wanxi's clutches.

"Lost your keys?" The girl was the one who had just bought the pink lilies. She was carrying a sky-blue handbag, and her face was slightly flushed. Although she didn't mean to bother them, without those keys she couldn't even get home, so the girl had no choice but to bite the bullet and come back to look for them.

"It must have been left here..." If the florist doesn't have it either, then we're completely doomed.

"Is this it?" Gu Cheng saw a flash of light on the flower stand closest to the cashier, picked it up and found it was a bunch of bronze keys.

"Yes, this is it! Thank you." The girl excitedly took the keys and then carefully put them back into her handbag.

"I'm so sorry to have bothered you!"

"It's alright, it's good that the key was found." Gu Cheng nodded gently.

"Um, are you two a couple too?" The girl looked at Gu Cheng earnestly, her eyes shining slightly.

"...What?" Gu Cheng thought she had misheard when such a question suddenly came out.

"Oh, it's nothing~" The girl realized she had spoken out of turn and changed the subject with an embarrassed laugh.

When you like something, even if you cover your mouth, it will still show in your eyes. The girl was an experienced person, and she could tell from the way Gu Cheng looked at Su Wanxi.

That feeling seemed stronger than friendship.

"Anyway, thank you very much, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do." The girl walked to the door, turned around again, and thanked them.

"Okay, just be more careful next time. Goodbye." As soon as Gu Cheng finished speaking, the girl gave her a thumbs up, smiled, and walked away.

Rarely encountering someone like herself, the girl's steps became even lighter.

May you have a long and happy marriage! Holding the bouquet of pink lilies, she silently offered her blessings.

"Did you hear what she said?" Su Wanxi, who had been standing behind Gu Cheng at the flower shop, asked.

"No..." Gu Cheng shook her head, pretending that she had misheard.

What would you like to eat for lunch?

"Tomatoes with sugar..."

P.S. There might be a chapter before midnight tonight; if not, it's probably not happening...

Section 63, Chapter Sixty-Two: Spicy Flavor

After finishing her meal, Gu Cheng didn't go to the bedroom but instead went straight downstairs.

"Don't you want to sleep for a while?" Su Wanxi leaned against the stair railing and looked down, her slender figure disappearing into the flower bushes.

"It's Valentine's Day today, so there will definitely be a lot of customers at noon." Gu Cheng picked up the ledger on the cashier's counter and carefully checked the entries under the light.

"Is that so..." Today is not only Valentine's Day, but also Wednesday...

Seeing that her employees seemed to care more about their work than their boss, Su Wanxi didn't know how to persuade them and could only walk straight down the stairs.

"Have some water." Sitting quietly next to Gu Cheng, Su Wanxi handed her lemon water with honey.

"Thank you." The girl cleared her throat and threw herself into her work.

There's another tough battle to fight this afternoon.

......

With a crisp "snap," Su Wanxi pulled out the key, and the glass door was firmly locked by the security lock.

Finally... it's over... I feel completely drained...

The afternoon customer flow was even greater than the morning, leaving almost no time to speak. The bills filled more than a dozen pages, and the sales revenue of this one day alone was equivalent to that of the previous few days.

Gu Cheng was about to leave with her bag when she felt a warm, smooth touch on her hand.

“Su Wanxi…” She turned around to look at the owner of the hand.

"Do you have time tonight?" Su Wanxi asked softly, her eyes clear as a spring.

"Hmm, what's up?" Gu Cheng's main purpose now is to take a shower, go to bed, and browse forums, which isn't really anything serious.

"Let's go have dinner, as a reward for Miss Gu who worked the hardest today~"

"No need, no need, this is within my job scope." Although the holiday was busy, Su Wanxi did not extend her working hours. Compared to some unscrupulous capitalists who worked overtime to the point of exhaustion and only earned a bottle of drink in the end, she was far superior.

"So... Miss Gu won't do me the honor of accompanying me?" Su Wanxi bit her lip lightly, her eyes glistening with tears, looking as aggrieved as a kitten abandoned by its owner.

"No, I just... let's go." She couldn't stand this; even though she knew the other person was faking it, she still couldn't bear to refuse.

Whether in appearance or temperament, Su Wanxi is a true ice queen. How come she can be so skilled at acting cute? Gu Cheng just falls for her charms, her heart melting into tenderness.

"Okay, let's go." Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Su Wanxi instantly reverted to her icy demeanor, only her tone became even gentler.

The two walked side by side down the street, their long, black hair illuminated by the glow of the sunset.

As evening fell, the Valentine's Day atmosphere intensified. Along both sides of the street, transparent glass display cases were covered with colorful window paper, each with a unique design, yet all invariably featuring the image of a lovebird on a bridge and a couple cuddling together.

"What do you want to eat?" Su Wanxi asked her.

"Anything is fine," Gu Cheng replied as always; she wasn't picky.

"Don't worry about me, you can eat whatever you want." Su Wanxi's lips curled up slightly, her luscious lips even more alluring under the light.

"I want to eat..." Gu Cheng stared at Su Wanxi for a while, blushing at her own thoughts.

"Then let's have spicy crayfish." Crayfish is a specialty of Lanjiang City, and Gu Cheng hadn't eaten it once this summer. It wasn't because she was too busy with work to find the time, but because she was all alone and had no one to eat with.

She used to go to roadside stalls with Qin Jin to eat barbecue and have two cans of ice-cold beer.

Now... Gu Cheng's eyes dimmed slightly, and a sense of sorrow welled up in her heart.

"I'll listen to you." The girl slowed her pace slightly. Su Wanxi sensed that something was off. She nodded slightly and tightened her grip.
