Hangzhou, Baidi.
After nightfall, West Lake had a completely different view than during the day. A waning moon hung high in the sky, and specks of starlight decorated the night sky. Compared with the scenery of lakes, mountains, and thousands of lights in the world, it was dazzling.
Today was the 29th of the Lunar New Year, so there shouldn't be many tourists on the Baidi. However, the broken bridge was bustling with people, and there were couples everywhere.
Because today was also Valentine's Day, many couples came here to take a walk, enjoy the scenery, enjoy the romantic time that belonged to two people, or sit by the lake or under the willow trees and whisper to each other. The air was filled with a sweet atmosphere.
Lu Chen and Chen Fei'er walked in the crowd hand in hand.
Both of them were wearing masks, and Chen Fei 'er also added a knitted wool hat, so they didn't have to worry about being recognized. The most important thing was that the people around them were most concerned about the couple around them at this moment, and they wouldn't notice the existence of two big stars among them.
Chen Fei'er's eyes were curved, and she held Lu Chen's hand and jumped a few times from time to time, as if she was a little girl who had just been immersed in love, exuding joy and happiness from the inside out.
This was the third Valentine's Day they had spent together. On this special day, they recalled their encounter, acquaintance, and love together. They felt that this was the greatest happiness in life.
"This handsome guy..."
As soon as they crossed the broken bridge, a little girl with a large bouquet of roses in her arms suddenly came out of the crowd and blocked their way. She looked up at Lu Chen and said, "Today is Valentine's Day. Your girlfriend is so beautiful, why don't you buy her a bouquet of roses?"
Her serious expression seemed to accuse Lu Chen of his heinous crimes.
Chen Fei'er couldn't help but laugh. She knew that it was just a marketing trick, but she was still very happy.
Lu Chen deliberately teased the little girl. "How do you know she's beautiful?"
Chen Fei'er had covered herself up tightly, only showing her eyes and nose, so her real face couldn't be seen.
The little girl said very seriously, "You are so handsome, this big sister must be a beauty, a beauty with a handsome guy!"
Even Lu Chen was amused. "How much do you sell your flowers for?"
Looking at the cute girl in front of him, Lu Chen couldn't help but think of last year's Valentine's Day.
Last Valentine's Day, he and Chen Fei'er had spent it in Xiangjiang. He remembered that at that time, they had also met a flower seller on the streets of Xiangjiang and bought a basket of roses.
The little girl replied, "One stick is ten yuan, a bunch of eleven sticks is a hundred yuan!"
At the same time, she blinked her big black eyes and looked at Lu Chen with anticipation.
Chen Fei 'er was a little more cautious and asked, "Little girl, aren't your parents worried about you selling flowers alone?"
The little girl turned her head and pointed to a couple pushing a flower cart by the side of the broken bridge. "They're over there …"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Take us there. I'll buy more."
It was freezing outside, and it was the 29th day of the Lunar New Year. A family coming to the broken bridge to sell flowers was undoubtedly to make a living. Seeing that the little girl's face was red from the cold, he couldn't help but feel pity for her.
"Okay!"
The little girl knew that she had caught a big business, so she agreed crisply.
The flower cart was a tricycle. There were four or five plastic buckets on the board, all of which were bunches of packaged roses. The couple were selling enthusiastically, but business was not very good.
"Mom, this brother said he wants to buy a lot of roses!"
The little girl selling flowers came over with Lu Chen and shouted happily.
The middle-aged man was surprised and quickly asked, "Hello, how many roses do you need? If there are a lot, we can give you a discount and free packaging!"
Lu Chen asked, "How many roses do you have here?"
"How many?"
The middle-aged man looked at the roses in the cart awkwardly, and then counted the roses in his daughter's hand. He was stunned.
His wife reacted quickly: "More than five hundred, less than six hundred, about five hundred and seventy or eighty."
Lu Chen nodded, "I want all of them. How much is it?"
All of them?
The couple suddenly showed a look of surprise – they had met the legendary local tyrant!
The middle-aged man said, "If you want all of them, you can give me five thousand."
When he said this number, he was uneasy. After all, the purchase price was less than one-third.
Lu Chen said with a smile, "Five thousand is fine. Can I use QQ transfer?"
He didn't have so much cash on him, but it was very common to use mobile phone to pay now. Even the tea eggs had a payment QR code.
Therefore, there was no problem with QQ transfer.
Lu Chen took a rose and said to the couple, "I want this one. You can help me give away the rest here."
When they heard Lu Chen say "I want this one", the couple were dumbfounded. They thought they had been fooled, and then they were dumbfounded – give them all away?
It wasn't until Lu Chen transferred five thousand yuan with his mobile phone that they woke up from a dream. Knowing that Lu Chen wasn't joking, they quickly agreed.
Lu Chen handed the rose in his hand to Chen Fei 'er and said with a smile, "Happy Valentine's Day, dear!"
Chen Fei 'er smiled sweetly and took the rose. Her eyes were full of emotion!
The crowd quickly gathered around, not because they found out the identity of the two, but because the free rose distribution began. All the couples who passed the Broken Bridge received a flower symbolizing love.
There was a lingering fragrance in the hand of giving roses. Lu Chen pulled Chen Fei 'er and quietly withdrew from the crowded crowd with happiness.
The Mercedes-Benz driven by Zhang Xiaofang was waiting by the Broken Bridge. After they got in the car, they went straight to Hangzhou Airport.
Tomorrow was New Year's Eve. Because Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er were going to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, they booked a ticket to return to Beijing tonight. Now the time was just right.
On the way to the airport, Zhang Xiaofang turned on the car radio.
"Welcome to FM103.7 City Voice Radio. Today is Valentine's Day, well, a very special day …"
The host's soft voice, accompanied by soft music, spread in the car: "Here, I wish all couples can love each other for a lifetime. In addition, I also want to give two Valentine's Day songs to all the listeners who are still single, including myself!"
"First is" Single Love Song "from Lu Chen!"
Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er couldn't help but look at each other and smile. Chen Fei' er gently leaned her head on Lu Chen's shoulder.
"I, who can't hold on to love, always watch it slip away. There are happy people everywhere in the world, why can't I be one of them? For the sake of love, I have long suffered enough of the pain of love. There are people who are lost in love everywhere … "
"Love, the more frustrated you are, the stronger you become. Love, you must be persistent. Every single person must see through it. If you want to love, don't be afraid of pain!"
