Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Mission in Progress 2
The speaker was a young man with dyed-blond hair, his arm wrapped around his girlfriend. But when he spoke, his gaze on Yun Zijin was a little too forward.
"Yes, the flowers are free. What kind would you like?"
Yun Zijin didn’t refuse. His girlfriend seemed like a sweet, well-behaved girl. ’She must have terrible taste in men,’ she thought.
"Those ones. I’ll take all the purple ones!"
She still had 15 of the Zixia fairies left. Yun Zijin was surprised; this guy was asking for way too much.
"It’s one flower per person. You can each pick the one you like."
"Just one? You have so many left to give away. It doesn’t matter who you give them to, right? Just give them to me. It’ll save you time. It’s a win-win, so why not?"
Hearing the blond guy’s words, Yun Zijin’s expression fell. "They’re my flowers. I’ll do what I want with them. If you think one is too few, you don’t have to take any."
’It’s not like I’m begging them to take one.’
The blond guy’s girlfriend looked embarrassed by Yun Zijin’s retort. Asking for all 15 Zixia fairies right off the bat really was a bit greedy.
The Zixia fairies cost almost twice as much as red roses.
"I’m sorry, he was just talking. There are two of us, can we each take one?"
The girl really did love the roses Yun Zijin was holding. She couldn’t take her eyes off all the different colors.
"Of course. There are six varieties here, go ahead and pick."
Yun Zijin didn’t want to make things difficult for the girl, so she let her choose.
The blond guy looked indignant and wanted to say more, but his girlfriend stopped him.
’He looks like a punk, but he certainly listens to his girlfriend. I guess nobody’s perfect.’
"I’ve decided. One Zixia fairy and one Golden Branch and Jade Leaf for the two of us."
The girl quickly chose the roses she wanted.
Yun Zijin quickly pulled out the two corresponding roses and handed them to her.
"Here you go. Happy National Day."
"Thank you! You too!"
The girl took the roses, then pulled the blond guy away.
"Ma’am, your Mango Pomelo Sago is ready."
After the young couple left, the milk tea shop employee finished making the drink Yun Zijin had ordered and brought it to her.
"Thank you."
Yun Zijin took a big gulp of her drink while still in her seat.
"Slow down. No one’s going to steal it from you."
Seeing her take such a huge gulp, Lu Yunque was genuinely afraid she would choke.
"The first sip of milk tea has to be a big one to be satisfying."
’The first sip is always the best, so you have to drink a lot. Otherwise, the second sip won’t have that same amazing feeling.’
"You’ve been at this for a while, and the basket is still more than half full. Why don’t we call it a day? I can come out with you again tomorrow."
When Yun Zijin had picked the flowers, she had chosen only the very freshest. Kept in a vase with water, they would be a little wilted at most the next day, which wouldn’t be a problem for the giveaway.
"It’s fine. It’s not that late. I can keep going a little longer."
Yun Zijin wasn’t tired yet and didn’t want to go back so early.
Lu Yunque didn’t force her to go back to the hotel. Since she felt she could keep going, he decided to trust her judgment.
"Hello!"
Yun Zijin had just taken a sip of her Mango Pomelo Sago when someone walked up and greeted her.
"Hello. Can I help you?"
"Someone just told us you can get free roses here. Is that true?"
The person asking was a handsome young man.
"That’s right. Would you like one?"
When Yun Zijin confirmed it, the young man’s eyes lit up.
"Yes! There are 11 of us. Can I pick the color?"
He could see several different colors of roses in the basket.
"Of course. Pick whichever you like."
Yun Zijin didn’t mind which color people wanted.
"I want this one. Are there 11 of them left?"
The young man pointed at the Caffe Latte roses.
"There should be."
As she had been giving them out, most passersby had chosen the Pink Lady and Zixia fairy roses. The Champagne roses were also a popular choice.
However, fewer people had chosen the Golden Branch and Jade Leaf, Caffe Latte, or red roses.
’I’m surprised he likes the Caffe Latte roses.’
Yun Zijin counted them. There were exactly 11 Caffe Latte roses left. What a coincidence.
"Exactly enough. 11 of them."
Yun Zijin took out all the Caffe Latte roses and handed them to the young man. "Happy National Day!"
"Happy National Day to you too! Thanks for the roses!"
The young man hurried away, cradling the 11 Caffe Latte roses, with the 10 other guys who were with him following close behind.
’No doubt he just rounded up the other ten guys at the last minute to get more flowers.’
But Yun Zijin didn’t mind. Once she gave the roses away, they were theirs to do with as they pleased.
Yun Zijin looked at the roses left in her basket and decided to go back out and try her luck again.
"Come on, let’s go for another walk."
Lu Yunque, Zero One, and the others had no objections and obediently followed Yun Zijin out.
"It’s that lady! She gave me and my mommy a flower!"
Yun Zijin had just stepped out of the milk tea shop when she heard the voice of the little girl she’d met earlier.
She looked in the direction of the voice and, sure enough, saw the little girl who had gotten a rose from her just a moment ago.
"You’re back? Didn’t you go home with your mom?"
"Xiao Mei and Zhuangzhuang saw my flower and wanted one too, so I brought them here!
Pretty lady, can I get another flower?"
If Yun Zijin hadn’t heard it with her own ears, she would never have believed a three-year-old toddler could speak so clearly.
"You’ve already gotten one, so you can’t get another, sweetie~ But your friends, Xiao Mei and Zhuangzhuang, and their parents can all have one.
You’re such a little angel!"
Yun Zijin was genuinely surprised; the little girl was actually bringing her "customers."
"That’s not right! My mommy said I’m a princess!"
"Okay, okay, you’re a princess."
Of course, Yun Zijin wasn’t going to argue with a child. She turned to Xiao Mei, Zhuangzhuang, and the two moms with them. "You can each pick one, too. Choose whichever color you like."
Yun Zijin stepped to the side, revealing the flower basket.
"This one is so pretty!"
One of the moms’ eyes immediately landed on a Golden Branch and Jade Leaf. Its golden petals were just so eye-catching.
Yun Zijin took a Golden Branch and Jade Leaf from the basket and handed it to the mom. "Happy National Day!"
The mom was taken aback for a second, then replied, "Happy National Day to you too!"
"Then I’ll take this one. You don’t see this color very often."
The other mom chose a Zixia fairy.
Yun Zijin did the same, taking out a Zixia fairy for her.
"I want one like Huihui’s!"
"Me too! Me too!"
Seeing that their moms had gotten flowers, the two little ones quickly chimed in with their own requests.
Yun Zijin smiled, took two red roses from the basket, and gave one to each of them.
"Here you go! Your flowers."
"Say thank you to the lady!"
The two moms said almost in unison.
"Thank you, lady!"
Xiao Mei and Zhuangzhuang said in unison.
