Feng met Miss Linglan on the Bamboo Sea Garden Street downstairs.
That day, as usual, he went downstairs to buy food after finishing his morning work. From a distance, he saw a girl in a red dress sitting on a bench across the street, holding a bouquet of white flowers.
"She's been sitting there for days."
Seeing him staring at the girl intently, the fast food restaurant owner said with some pity.
"How many days?"
"She comes every day, from 11 or 12 noon to 4 or 5 pm. I don't see her eating anything. She always holds a bouquet of lily of the valley in her hand."
"I thought it was a purple-spotted bluebell."
"Yes, it's really rare for lilies of the valley to bloom this season."
After saying goodbye to the shop owner, Feng turned and walked towards the apartment. Before I took a few steps, the cell phone in my pocket suddenly rang. I thought it was the editor who came to urge me to write again, but I didn't want him to forget that his mother was coming.
"If you don't have a girlfriend yet, come home with us."
On the other end of the phone was my mother's firm and unquestionable voice.
"Mom and dad want to come together? Where can I go to conjure a woman for them in such a short time?" Feng stared at the lunch box in his hand melancholy and muttered in a low voice, "I shouldn't have lied to my parents that I had a girlfriend when I was happy that day."
"Hey, young man, you forgot your chopsticks again." The owner of the fast food restaurant shouted from behind and chased after him.
Purpose: To celebrate human beings' pursuit of beautiful things
