Saving the Second Male Lead: What to Do When You Enter a Domineering Boss's Novel

Zhu Qingsi opened the door and saw that it was indeed a florist holding a large bouquet of flowers. He signed for them and closed the door.

"Who are you going to give such a big bouquet to? I'm so jealous of him."

He placed a large bouquet of simple and colorful flowers on the coffee table and gave a somewhat forced smile.

Joysa didn't answer. She put on her new slippers, ran upstairs, and quickly brought down a wooden box.

"Open it and take a look." She held it in front of Zhu Qingsi.

Zhu Qingsi looked at her pretty and beautiful face, seemed to realize something, his eyes were a little complicated, and he tried hard to restrain the excitement in his heart.

He took the wooden box and opened the lid. Inside was a dark green velvet cloth with a pocket watch lying on it.

"This is? For me?"

"Happy birthday."

Zhu Qingsi felt a huge ripple in his heart, and with an unconcealable smile on his face, he took a step forward and hugged the girl in front of him tightly.

"You remember my birthday, you actually remembered it. Thank you, thank you, Isa." He buried his face in Joeysa's thick hair, closed his eyes and smelled the fragrance of her hair.

Qiaoisha didn't expect that a birthday gift would make him so excited.

"Okay, let's see if you like the gift."

Zhu Qingsi let her go and took the pocket watch out of the box.

The pocket watch is dark gold in color, and the cover is engraved with intricate patterns, which looks very old.

"I don't know what to give you. This is what I brought when I came to Hell City. Don't worry, I didn't steal it from those people. I bought it. I think it suits you very well."

"I like it very much. Thank you, Isa. I will definitely carry it with me in the future and keep it well."

"That's not necessary. It's just an ordinary birthday present. I hope you like it."

Qiao Yisha wouldn't understand why Zhu Qingsi was so happy, he didn't care about birthdays.

What he cared about was that Joysa took his birthday to heart and not only prepared a gift for it, but also said "Happy Birthday" to him in person.

"I don't need to be jealous of others," Zhu Qingsi's eyes fell on the bouquet of flowers, "This is mine."

"Yes."

Zhu Qingsi carefully put the pocket watch into his pocket, held the flower in his arms, lowered his head and sniffed it, "It smells as good as you."

Qiao Yisha shook her head helplessly, sat down on the sofa, and heard Zhu Qingsi utter a single syllable of questioning above her head.

"Huh? What is this?"

Joysa looked up and saw him pull out an object that looked like a greeting card from the bouquet.

"I didn't ask for a greeting card." Qiaosha took the card, opened it and saw some words printed on it, with two tickets sandwiched between them.

[Congratulations on becoming the ninth lucky customer of our store today. The surprise gift is two circus tickets. I wish you a happy life. ]

"Circus?" Zhu Qingsi was a little surprised. "The circus and the flower shop are actually related."

"You are so lucky. Something good like this happened on your birthday. This means today might be a good day."

Joysa looked at the ticket date: eight o'clock tonight.

"do you want to go?"

Qiao Yisha nodded without hesitation, "It's been a while since we went out to play, why don't we go take a look?"

Even if she tried to imagine what it was, it would undoubtedly be some tiger jumping through a ring of fire, a monkey riding a bicycle, or something like that.

"Okay, let's go then."

The circus performance is not far away, only half an hour's drive away.

After the ticket check, the two followed the crowd into the venue and found the seat numbers on their tickets.

Perhaps it was because the circus performers had not taken a shower for a long time, and the audience could smell the stench of wild beasts almost as soon as they entered the door. However, mixed with the strong air freshener, it didn't seem so unbearable.

The seat I bought was not very good, it was in the corner, but luckily the circus was not big, so even in the corner, I could see the entire stage covered by the iron cage.

Soon the circus began, and the red curtain fell and then rose again a few minutes later.

A skinny lion and a strong trainer wielding a whip appeared in the cage.

Also appearing was an iron ring burning with flames.

When the curtain opened, there was a cheer from the audience.

The trainer whipped the poor lion, and the lion immediately ran wildly and leaped through the hot red iron ring.

Then, fire hoops were added one by one until the lion passed through six fire hoops. Only then did they decide to change performers. The lion was led backstage and the fire hoops were removed.

A few little monkeys came on stage on unicycles, and everything was just like what Joysa had seen on the Internet, cruel yet satisfying to many people's bad tastes.

Qiao Yisha felt bored and turned her head to look at Zhu Qingsi who was also nonchalant next to her, "Do you want to leave?"

"Don't watch it?"

"Well, go back."

As Zhu Qingsi and Qiao Yisha stood up, there was a sudden noise mixed with screams of panic.

Everyone was running for their lives, the cries of children and the screams of adults mixed together in chaos.

The two searched for the source of the madness and finally their eyes fell on the stage.

The trainer was lying there covered in blood, and several monkeys were jumping all over him, one even picking at his wounds.

He was choking in pain, but he had no strength to resist.

What was really frightening was that three or four lions were running around on the stage, but they had no tongues or teeth and could not make any sound.

They banged against the iron cage again and again, as if they felt no pain and just wanted to break out of the cage.

The person in charge mobilized all the security guards and asked them to maintain order, but he himself had already escaped.

"How could this happen?" Joeysa gasped.

"Let's go. It's too dangerous now." Zhu Qingsi pulled Qiao Yisha's wrist, but before he took a step, his feet felt empty and he felt weightless, as if he had stepped on air and fell into a trap.

Her arm was hit hard, and the hand holding her was forced to loosen.

The last thing he saw when he fell in was Joysa, who was standing beside him. Her expression was a little distorted and she was shouting loudly because she had fallen into the ground just like him.

His heart suddenly felt like it was falling into an ice cellar.

When Qiao Yisha landed on the ground, she was knocked unconscious and let out a cry of pain from her throat. She lay on the ground for five seconds before she regained her confused consciousness.

She opened her eyes and saw a ceiling that was almost three meters high. How could she have fallen from there?

He moved his body, grimacing in pain, as if it was falling apart.

Fortunately, the ground was covered with mud and dirty water, and was not particularly hard, so the bones should not have been broken.

Joysha struggled to get up from a puddle of dirty water. When she fell, she was splashed with mud and water, which made her body sticky and smelly. Her long skirt and curly hair were wet and stuck to her skin, which was very uncomfortable.

You don't need to look in the mirror to know how miserable you look now.

She looked around and found herself falling into a long corridor. It was quiet, without any sound. It was dark and damp, with an unpleasant smell. The candles on the wall were so small that they were about to be extinguished in the next second.
