Actually, Shen Mingbei had already known that Qu Lang went to visit the crew for《Feng Yue》.

Yesterday, he called Qu Lang’s assistant to ask when Qu Lang would be free to come back. Assistant Xiao Chen told him President Qu was at the airport in preparation for the crew visit.

Xiao Chen had told him, “In order to empty out his schedule for these few days, President Qu had been working overtime in the company. He finally managed to empty his schedule for today, so he went to the airport as soon as he left the company building.”

Shen Mingbei knew it must’ve been to visit his White Moonlight, so he didn’t question it further.

After seeing today’s trending posts, he thought Qu Lang acted as a high-profile person. But after careful reconsideration, Lin was his White Moonlight after all; wanting to ‘perform’ a little was nothing out of the ordinary.

It had nothing to do with him anyway.

Qu Lang and the White Moonlight’s meeting must’ve felt like the reunion after a long period of separation; their surroundings must’ve been filled with two lovers’ consuming passion and a conglomeration of rich silk and beautiful bouquets or something like that. He must’ve had no time to care whether he wanted to manage the loquats or not. Shen Mingbei didn’t continue reading through the trending posts; instead, he hurriedly went to change flower pots for the newly-sprouted loquat seedlings.

The gardener wanted to help Shen Mingbei, but he rejected him.

“I’m just changing flower pots. If any loquats are produced in the future, I’ll send you some to eat.”

The gardener shook his head and said, “It’ll take many years for the loquat to bear fruit; to be kept in these flower pots, I’m afraid it won’t bear fruit.”

Shen Mingbei understood what the gardener meant. The gardener wanted him to plant the small seedlings in the yard; that way, it’d grow well. However, he didn’t want to do that. Shen Mingbei knew that he’d had to leave sooner or later, so if he planted it in the yard it’d be troublesome to dig out in the future.

It was different to raise it in a pot; this way, he could carry both the loquats and pots away.

Besides, now that these pitiful loquats were in his hands, they may not necessarily live for long.

En, when the time came, he’d have to find a house with good sunshine; it’d be best if it had a greenhouse too. Shen Mingbei checked the balance in his card, then thought about the housing prices in the urban cities before sighing with regret-

Unaffordable.

Comparing oneself to another was truly infuriating.

Qu Lang could buy a villa in places like Qingtan Bay, yet he couldn’t even afford a living space with two bedrooms and one living room.

When the time came for him to leave Qu Lang, he was afraid he’d have to spend some time becoming more accustomed to living in a small house.

After a while of pondering, Shen Mingbei finally opened his mind; since he couldn’t compare, he wouldn’t.

He carefully watered the flower pots and placed them beside the foot of the villa’s sunnier, more exposed walls. Five flower pots were neatly arranged – the contrast between the white wall and red pots even looked quite nice!

Squatting on the ground, he found a nice angle to take a picture of it before tapping on Weibo and posting it.

@ShenMingbei: Five pots of loquats; when it bears fruits in the future, there’ll be a lucky draw [doge]
