C18 The Symbolic Meaning of the Rose
Lee Ji planned to tell Lee Xu that the results of tomorrow might be better after nightfall. At the moment, the most important thing for him was to go to a florist's and book a rose. As he thought about it, he went downstairs and drove to the flower shop. This was the first time he had the impulse to buy a flower. When he walked into a large flower shop, he was a bit nervous. Seeing a pretty girl that bought flowers walking towards him, he politely chatted with her. He was a bit embarrassed, but he still asked the flower girl who received him, "Is it necessary to send a few roses to express my sincerity on the first Valentine's Day with my girlfriend?"
The flower girl smiled and replied, "A rose represents — you only have her in your heart! Two roses — you're the only two in the world! Three roses for — You love her! 4 roses for — for death! The five roses represented — heartfelt admiration! The six roses represent — mutual respect and mutual understanding! 7 rose representatives - you secretly love her! 8 rose representatives - Thank her for her caring support and encouragement! Nine roses for long ALWAYS! The ten roses represented — absolutely perfect! Eleven roses — only she matters the most! 12 roses — love for her growing day by day! Thirteen roses for a long friendship! Fourteen roses for pride! Fifteen roses — sorry for her! Sixteen roses for love! Seventeen roses — hopeless and irrevocable love! Eighteen roses — sincere and frank! Nineteen roses for patience and anticipation! The 20 roses represent — You only have a sincere heart! 21 rose symbols — sincere love! Twenty-two roses — good luck! Twenty-five roses for her happiness! 30 rose symbols - the letter is fated! 36 rose symbols — romantic! 40 rose symbols - the unswerving love of death! The symbol of 50 roses — an unexpected encounter! The symbol of 99 roses — Eternal! A hundred roses — a hundred percent of love! 101 roses -- the most... Love! The symbol of 108 roses — propose! "May I ask what kind of flowers Ni likes to send?" When the flower girl finished talking about the symbolic meaning of roses, Lee Ji's head was in a daze. He felt that the significance of her introducing the flowers to the guests was the same as when he was a child reciting lessons.
"Then I'll buy 108 flowers. I'll come back for them at 8: 30 tomorrow morning. Is that okay?" Lee Ji asked.
"Yes, because our store opened for customers at seven in the morning. As long as you pay half of the rose as the deposit, we will reserve the flower for you." If you don't pay the deposit first, we can't guarantee that there won't be so many roses in the shop when you come tomorrow. " As long as he pays the deposit, he can come for the flowers at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. She said she couldn't guarantee there would be enough tomorrow because there were too many people buying roses on Valentine's Day.
"Okay, please take me to the cashier." After Lee Ji said this, he followed behind the girl who was buying flowers and paid half the deposit at the cashier. He took the invoice out of the florist's and drove home. He was truly willing. Otherwise, his purchase would have been astonishing. Just thinking about the 108 roses in his hands, how much affection would he have for her.
Once Lee Ji got home, he took a shower, went to his bedroom, turned on his laptop and started his programming again. This job seemed to never stop, so people who worked on the software had to change their careers after forty years of age. Otherwise, their lives would be shortened. When he realized a software feature, he turned off the computer, walked out of the bedroom, and looked out the window. The sky was filled with shining stars.
He went into the hall and found that the light in her mother's bedroom had not been turned on. He knew that his mother had gone to the neighbor's house to watch the play again. Nanny Lee didn't watch at home because no one was willing to watch it with her. Watching a show was supposed to be for fun, so the more people watching it, the more lively the atmosphere became.
Lee Ji walked to the table and found a note that read "mom, I'm going to see a play at my neighbor's house. Dinner has been prepared and placed on the table. You guys settle it yourselves. I'm too lazy to call you brothers." Lee Ji finished reading the note and walked to the door of Lee Xu's bedroom. He opened the door gently and turned on the light in the bedroom. He found that his bro was still sleeping, but the computer was still on.
He walked up to Lee Xu's chuang, bent down, and gently patted Lee Xu awake and said, "Bro, hurry up and get up. Accompany your brother to eat something."
"How troublesome, do you want me to feed you?" Lee Xu crawled up unwillingly, put on his shoes, washed his hands in the bathroom and sat down at the dining table.
At this moment, Lee Ji took out a bottle of red wine, opened the bottle with a tool that was specially made to open the lid and said, "Come have a drink with me, okay?"
"Drink it by yourself. It's not like you don't know that I don't drink red wine. If it's beer, I can still drink a can."
"Afraid of getting drunk?"
"Yes, I don't think you usually don't treat me to red wine. Remember when you didn't make me drunk? When I woke up, you said I promised to do something for you. "Alright, I won't fall for your trick tonight." Lee Xu picked up his chopsticks and threatened to eat, ignoring his brother.
"This won't do, you have to drink it. If a man doesn't drink red wine, how can he still be considered a man? Otherwise, how are you going to socialize with customers in the future?" Lee Ji still poured a glass of red wine for Lee Xu. He believed that drinking red wine was like drinking health and face. Of course, in his heart, he was definitely treating Lee Xu to wine because of tomorrow's matter.
"Don't talk so much nonsense, be honest. If I am in a good mood, then I might be able to help you. If the things you want to do exceed my capabilities, then you should hire another master. " Lee Xu didn't want to listen to his brother's nonsense, in case it affected his appetite.
"Xu, it's like this. Tomorrow, bro, I want to introduce you to a beauty, I'm sure you can see her well." Lee Ji raised his voice and said that he was confirming the beauty of Fudan School Beauty. If his little brother had no other choice, then he would be able to see through his own thoughts with a single strike. Thus, Lee Ji could only highlight his whole plan.
"I'm not interested. I've already promised to spend Human Festival with Bai Xiao tomorrow. Don't give me any trouble. Besides, I just want to see Bai Xiao. I also need to run all the way to see your so-called beauty." Lee Xu recalled what Xue Ni had said to him, "Faint to the point, quiet to the point, content to the point."
"I have to go. Your future sister-in-law was the one who introduced you. You can't miss this chance." I heard from your sister-in-law that she's the school beauty of Fudan University. If you don't look at her for nothing, you might even be able to win her over. Besides, you're only meeting her once tomorrow, so she might not fall for you. You know, talented girls have very high taste. " Lee Ji was going to pull his brother over. As long as his brother was by his side, everything would be fine.
"If you don't want to, then don't. Even if she's a Heavenly Immortal, I wouldn't even bother to look at her." "Don't waste my saliva. I want to have a quiet meal, okay?" He felt that his brother was trying to make things difficult for him, and even though he knew he didn't like to show his face, he still tried to push him out.
"Xu, as long as you follow me tomorrow morning, I'll agree to any conditions you put forward." said Lee Ji, taking a sip of his red wine, as if he were talking to himself.
"Really?" When Lee Xu heard his brother's words, he really wanted to kill him. Plus, he promised Bai Xiao that he would send a message to her tomorrow at 12 o'clock. He found his brother's offer attractive.
"When did I break my promise? "As long as you don't want this old bro's life." Lee Ji groaned in his heart. When a man needs help, he's really nothing. "
"Hehe, it's not as serious as you say. Just give me your laptop." Lee Xu said.
"Alright, when I finish this project, I will personally present it." Lee Ji could only bear with it. If he couldn't get Lee Xu, then he would lose face in front of his girlfriend.
"Satisfying. Deal. Eat now. Don't bring tomorrow's matter to torture others today." This was what Lee Xu always thought.
"Come, come, let's drink to celebrate the success of our deal." Lee Ji raised his glass and wanted to toast his bro. If Lee Xu didn't give his bro face, then it would be too late.
After dinner, Lee Xu stood up and walked towards his brother, "I have to remind you of two things: First, help me pay for the phone call tomorrow, and secondly, write your diary. Inside it must be the future sister-in-law's cell phone number and name, don't expose it." He had always followed his own feelings, and between love and being loved he had found a path of his own. He didn't want his parents to help him arrange everything. When he was a child, his complexion had always been good and bad, so when he was a child, he had always been the target of attacks from his neighbors' children. However, he had always maintained his personality, did what he liked to do, read books he loved to read, and never had to imitate anyone else.
