"Of course it's beautiful! I'm sure there are flowers in here that you'll love, Sister!"
Qian Renjue looked up with a smile, responding to the question.
"Flowers I like?"
Qian Renxue was taken aback, then smiled gently.
She hadn't expected Qian Renjue to remember those words after all this time.
"Yep!"
Qian Renjue's eyes darted around, and they went forward to hug Qian Renxue's arm.
Handing the picture book to her, he said excitedly, "Sister, you can take a look too, in case you encounter them sometime."
"No need, I'll wait for Jue to give them to me."
Qian Renxue shook her head with a smile.
Making it a surprise seemed like a good idea.
"Then Jue will definitely get them for Sister!"
Qian Renjue said earnestly, making a promise.
"Sister believes you."
Qian Renxue held Qian Renjue's small hand and gave him a gentle smile.
Evening.
Chrysanthemum Douluo arrived outside Bibi Dong's residence as promised. He was pushing a long flatbed cart.
The cart was filled with various potted flowers.
As he pushed it to the courtyard gate,
even though the sky was already dim, the vibrant colors were still eye-catching.
Bibi Dong watched Chrysanthemum Douluo enter.
Her eyes, filled with killing intent and hostility, held a hint of confusion.
The cold voice made the night air even chillier.
"Chrysanthemum Douluo, what do you think you're doing?"
"Saintess."
Chrysanthemum Douluo performed an elegant bow.
He respectfully said, "Young Master Jue was afraid the Saintess would be bored, so he specifically asked this subordinate to bring some flowers to help the Saintess relax and cultivate her character."
"Jue..."
Bibi Dong's red lips moved slightly.
Her eyes glanced at the Tricolor Flowerbed nearby, and she felt somewhat displeased.
Previously, Qian Renjue always delivered them personally.
"Saintess, where would you like these flowers placed?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo bowed slightly, asking cautiously, trying to keep his voice gentle.
He needed to ensure he could complete the task smoothly.
Bibi Dong refocused her gaze on Chrysanthemum Douluo, but didn't answer.
Instead, she asked, "What did that child say to you? I want the exact words."
Chrysanthemum Douluo was taken aback.
After a moment of thought, he replied truthfully, "Young Master Jue and Miss Xue came together, and he said, 'Afraid Mom is bored.'"
Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke concisely, constantly observing Bibi Dong's expression.
He knew from last time…
Bibi Dong seemed to hate, even loathe, the term "Mom."
But, to Chrysanthemum Douluo's surprise...
Bibi Dong's face didn't become much colder, but rather, seemed more calm.
"Do as you see fit."
Leaving those words for Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Bibi Dong turned, her steps light as she returned to her room.
"…"
Chrysanthemum Douluo was a bit baffled.
But that didn't stop him from smiling.
He turned and began to move the flowers, his movements nimble and meticulous.
Those that didn't like light were placed at the foot of the wall.
Those that liked light were placed higher, and those that liked moisture were placed lower.
Bibi Dong stood in front of the window, watching quietly.
The reason for keeping these flowers?
It was simple.
This was the gift that Qian Renjue had given to 'Mom'.
Staring at Chrysanthemum Douluo and the flowerbed, Bibi Dong suddenly frowned.
Then, it relaxed.
Chrysanthemum Douluo did notice the Tricolor Carnations in the flowerbed.
But he was only stunned for a moment.
For Qian Renjue, who had mastered that knowledge, to cultivate Tricolor Carnations was only natural.
Qian Renjue's book... The pollination and hybridization theories recorded within.
They captivated Chrysanthemum Douluo!
With it, not to mention three-colored flowers, he could even cultivate seven-colored ones.
He couldn't wait to start practicing... ...
After accepting Qian Renjue's gift.
A delicate floral fragrance drifted through the air in Bibi Dong's residence.
Early morning, the first rays of sunlight poured in.
Dewdrops clung to the vibrant petals, making them glow, beautiful, and translucent.
Bibi Dong, dressed in a white home dress, was holding a watering can, tending to the delicate flowers.
A gentle breeze, carrying the scent of the blossoms, ruffled her hair and billowed her long skirt.
It also dissipated some of the chilling killing intent.
The sun grew warmer.
At a certain point, Bibi Dong sat in the pavilion by the pond.
Her gaze would unconsciously sweep towards the courtyard gate.
After a long while,
a small head appeared as expected.
It peeked out from the courtyard gate. "Sister, Jue and elder sister are here to see you, can we come in?"
Qian Renjue looked at Bibi Dong in the distance, cautiously asking for permission.
Qian Renxue followed behind.
Both of them were still sweating, a little out of breath.
Bibi Dong looked up at Qian Renjue.
A sliver of his gaze, unlike usual, uncontrollably glanced towards Qian Renxue.
He just watched, saying nothing.
Qian Renjue tentatively asked, "Sister, if you don't speak, that means you agree, right?"
Bibi Dong's expression remained unchanged.
As if not wanting to be bothered, she lowered her head and continued to read the book in her hands.
"Sister, let's go inside."
Qian Renjue smiled, pulling Qian Renxue's soft hand, and ran towards the courtyard.
"Jue."
Qian Renxue was still a bit worried.
After taking a couple of steps and seeing that Bibi Dong hadn't reacted at all, Qian Renxue relaxed slightly.
Together with Qian Renjue, they arrived at the pavilion.
"Sister."
Qian Renjue stepped forward.
Just as Qian Renjue was about to sit beside Bibi Dong, she was stopped by Bibi Dong's eyes, which held a hint of killing intent.
Bibi Dong raised a cold eyebrow.
A look of surprise appeared in her eyes. She then noticed that the sword in Qian Renxue's hand was no longer made of wood.
It was a thick book.
Qian Renjue was holding a simple, heavy box.
"Sister, don't be angry, I won't sit anymore."
Noticing the coldness in those purple eyes, Qian Renjue retreated two steps.
Standing straight and looking very well-behaved, with fear in their eyes.
Bibi Dong's breath hitched slightly. The book in her hand twisted slightly, and she lowered her head again.
Silent. Days and nights of torment.
Made Bibi Dong dare not release even a hint of killing intent towards Qian Renjue.
And she desperately suppressed the indescribable entity, the one that stoked hatred within her.
She didn't dare to reveal that hateful face in front of Qian Renjue.
She was afraid of losing it. Losing this only warmth.
Qian Renjue was slightly stunned, turning to look at Qian Renxue.
"Sister, let's stay here for a while, how about it?"
Qian Renxue glanced at Bibi Dong.
She nodded slightly.
"Alright, I'll listen to Jue."
The words fell.
Qian Renxue immediately asked in surprise, "Jue, why are you sitting on the ground?"
"Sister, it's more convenient for me this way, it's fine."
Qian Renjue smiled indifferently, lowering his head and opening the box he had brought.
Inside were things that looked like ice, or transparent glass.
They were in pieces, very irregular in shape, and in the middle was a lump that looked like bird droppings.
Both the pendant and the chain needed to be assembled.
Qian Renxue looked at Qian Renjue with confusion, shaking her head helplessly.
She raised her eyes, glancing at Bibi Dong, but didn't find anything unusual.
She looked at the railing of the pavilion.
Qian Renxue walked forward and sat on the railing at the corner of the pavilion, leaning against a pillar.
She held the book in her hands, quietly flipping through the pages.
Below the pavilion.
Bibi Dong could hear the sound of Qian Renxue turning pages, and the crackling of Qian Renjue's hands.
Her eyes were on the book.
But her gaze almost drifted to the corner of her eye.
Qian Renxue, who was also reading, mirrored her actions.
She suddenly laughed, softly and happily.
Only Qian Renjue was there,
busy with their own things.
They would occasionally look up, seeing that Mom and Elder Sister were both focused on the books in their hands.
The mother and daughter's gazes would sometimes meet, subtly, but they didn't know each other's thoughts.
From time to time, their gazes would converge on Qian Renjue.
Sorry.
I've been busy with the first draft of my graduation thesis these past few days, so the updates have been a bit late.
I hope everyone has a great life!
