A new flower shop has opened at the end of Old Street. Its owner, Shi Weitao, is a former office worker who can't even name all the flowers.
His way of pursuing the shop's floral designer is hopelessly cheesy: one corny pickup line every day, without missing a single one.
Peixue makes a casual bet: "If you can keep it up for a hundred days, I'll say yes."
He takes her seriously.
On day 37, she starts playing along.
On day 60, she admits in front of everyone that she's with him.
On day 89, a demolition notice goes up on the flower shop door. The shop is all he has, besides her.
On the hundredth day, he stands outside the shop without a single pickup line prepared.

Sweet Talk said to the whole world is business; said to Precious, it's life itself.
After reading the first twenty chapters, what I want to say most is: the sweetness of this book is the kind of sweetness with bones. The author did not rush to give out the sweets, but spent a whole volume to "boil it". Shi Weitao's earthy love words evolved day by day, from clumsy straight shots such as "Pull me, it won't be a pity" to quiet killer moves such as "You are everywhere". Pei Xue was disgusted on the surface, but her body honestly turned the sunflower at an angle and put the fruit candy into the plate. One of the two people was rehearsing hard, and the other was trying his best to pretend not to notice. This kind of pulling feeling of "you advance and I retreat" is ten times better than being together directly. The details are also carefully buried: the iron box has not been opened for three years, the white lisianthus is always hiding in the corner of the bouquet, and the black leather book has pages of sentences and interest rates. Every thread buried in the front makes people believe that it will be retrieved one by one later, and it must be very painful or warm when done. At the end of Volume 1, the bet had just been established, and the shadow of demolition had not yet appeared. The flower shop, the old street, and the phrase "the valuable thing is the people in this shop" - I already had a premonition that this is not only a story of love, but also a story of a group of people and a street. Looking forward to the second volume. Please continue with your earthy love words or whatever, and don't interrupt a word.
