SFFCK (Complete)

Chapter 26

After leaving the flower shop, the two walked back towards Xu Lian's store. Xiang ChangKong put the flowers under the seat of his scooter then turned back towards Xu Lian. "It's getting late, you should go home first."

"Alright."

"Drive safely."

"Un, you too."

With a smile, Xiang ChangKong watched Xu Lian drive away. Then stepping onto his scooter, he drove home.

Because it was November, the weather was getting colder and colder. Xiang ChangKong idly thought that he better wear a mask tomorrow.

Thinking about the flowers the entire drive back, Xiang ChangKong didn't ride his scooter too fast. When he got home, Xiang ChangKong carefully took the flowers out and put them on his desk.

This was the first plant he had ever had in his room. He hadn't been a flower lover, but his mother used to have a lot on their balcony. But the flowers had slowly died with inattention when she turned ill. Later, when they moved into this apartment, no one mentioned raising flowers. So in this house, there weren't any plants.

Xiang ChangKong hoped that this gift Xu Lian had given him would be able to smoothly get through the winter.

The next morning, Xiang ChangKong followed the instructions in the brochure and pursed some water into the pot. He then moved it to the warmest place in the house before leaving for work.

At noon he received an order from Xu Lian. It was the usual chicken set, making Xiang ChangKong laugh. Xu Lian naturally put Xiang ChangKong's name in the order notes. She then watched as the delivery map showed the takeaway boy get closer and closer to its destination. She thought it was a wonderful feeling.

The sense of anticipation.

Seeing that Xiang ChangKong was two minutes away, Xu Lian walked down the stairs and brought down his insulated lunchbox. When Xiang ChangKong came into the store, he saw the lunchbox she was holding. Chuckling, he said: "In the future, I'll be cooking for you, or help you cook. And even if I don't, I'll still have to come around and deliver you your meal."

Xu Lian couldn't help but get embarrassed at his words. She had grown up with a relatively independent personality, and coupled with the nature of her dad's work, she would often be alone at home. Now that Xiang ChangKong is here, how come it sounds like she can't do anything on her own and needs Xiang ChangKong to take care of her?

"You don't need to make my deliveries anymore, ah. It's better if you concentrate on studying for the next two months."

Xiang ChangKong replied: "It doesn't matter. My job is pretty lax anyway. I can usually read my textbooks when in-between orders outside the peak hours."

He then pointed towards his scooter outside. "My books are all in there. I read them whenever I have free time."

Xu Lian knew that if she went on talking about it, she'd end up getting KO'd by Xiang ChangKong's IQ again. So she changed the topic. "Then I won't keep you here, you must be very busy with other orders."

"Un, I'll bring you a meal tomorrow." Xiang ChangKong accepted the insulated lunchbox and left.

Meanwhile, Zhang GuoEr thought that the days were becoming very hard to get through. She had to be stuffed with dog food every single day. However, Xu Lian's conversation with Xiang ChangKong just now had attracted her attention. "Boss, what book is Brother Xiang reading?"

"A book for postgraduate exams." Xu Lian answered.

Zhang GuoEr was stupefied. He was taking a postgraduate exam? Brother Xiang sure is smart!
