Chapter 625 - 625 626 Pursuit (8)_1
?Chapter 625: Chapter 626 Pursuit (8)_1 Chapter 625: Chapter 626 Pursuit (8)_1 On the day of Lidong in Jiangshan City, Liang Chen had to go on a business trip to Shanghai for about a week.
He left the day before November 11th, which happens to be Singles Day.
That day was a Friday.
This holiday, which first rose to popularity on the internet, is a festival for single people. In recent years, more and more people have been celebrating it, even those in relationships have joined the ranks of Singles Day celebrants.
Out of the eight colleagues in Jing Haohao’s office, six of them either had boyfriends or were married.
On Singles Day, Jing Haohao and another single colleague were the only ones not celebrating, while the other colleagues had received gifts and flowers from their boyfriends or husbands.
Surrounded by the smell of flowers in the office, Jing Haohao couldn’t help but complain to Liang Chen in a text message in the afternoon, “This world is really unjust. Those who are married or have boyfriends are receiving flowers on Singles Day. This is simply leaving no room for us singles to live. Haven’t they ever heard the saying ‘Flaunting happiness brings faster death’?”
Liang Chen’s text message came back quickly, “What kinds of flowers are they?”
“Roses, lilies, blue enchantresses, rainbow roses…” Jing Haohao listed the types of flowers in the office and sent them to Liang Chen. Then she rapidly typed another message, “Couples everywhere are not only monopolizing Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Valentine’s Day in the west, Qixi Festival in the east, but now even Singles Day! It’s just too outrageous!”
Because he had to go on a business trip the next day, Liang Chen was especially busy that afternoon. Though he replied to Jing Haohao’s messages promptly, his responses are brief. After receiving her long string of messages, he did not respond with text. Instead, he called Miss Su over, whispered a few things in her ear, and jotted down an address for her.
Jing Haohao waited for a long time in the office but received no text from Liang Chen. Thinking that he was busy, she distracted herself by browsing the Internet. In less than half an hour, a courier came into the office asking for Jing Haohao.
Jing Haohao raised her hand, and the courier handed her a large bouquet of blue enchantresses.
Jing Haohao, who had no clue what was going on, signed for the flowers, and, with an object of envy in the eyes of her office mates, accepted the blue enchantresses.
Right after Jing Haohao had found a place for the flowers, another courier arrived, looking for her. This time, he was holding a large bouquet of lilies.
Jing Haohao signed for them and before she could even turn around, several more couriers showed up, all carrying different types of flowers, all for her.
By the time Jing Haohao had finished signing for all the deliveries, her office desk and the area around her chair were piled high with flowers. Then, her phone that was lying on the desk buzzed.
Jing Haohao picked it up, it was a text message from Liang Chen, “Do you feel now that you’re being more outrageous than everyone else?”
It suddenly dawned on Jing Haohao that all these flowers were sent by Liang Chen.
She glanced over all the flowers and realized that she had every kind of flower that her colleagues in the office had received.
She was merely complaining about others being “outrageous” without any ill intentions, but he had made her even more “outrageous”.
That year’s Singles Day, single Jing Haohao actually ended up celebrating more extravagantly than any woman with a boyfriend or a husband.
