awkward

Ye Mu didn't know if his choice was right, but after being far away from the original people or things, he always felt more relaxed than before.

For many reasons, he moved to a small city in a remote area.

The economy there is not very developed, and it rains all year round, but the scenery is particularly beautiful.

The sky there is very blue, and it is as transparent as water after being baptized by rain, and the streets are boundless with towering green trees, and the air is fresh, which makes people feel happy physically and mentally.

Instead of applying for a job in a big company like before, he worked as an apprentice in a flower shop and found a part-time job.

Although the monthly salary is pitifully small, it can still maintain daily life, and while lonely, it also has a little comfort.

The place where I work is a flower shop called 'Half Moon Bay'. Although the facade is small, you will find many places worth savoring when you walk in.

In addition to the exquisite and unique decoration, there are a complete range of flowers, including flowers and potted plants, as well as photography. There are often young girls or couples taking photos there after buying flowers.

Due to the proximity to the university town, the flow of people there is relatively large, and there are many customers every day.

The owner of the flower shop is Su Qing, a middle-aged woman in her thirties. She is polite and enthusiastic, and has good self-cultivation.

She married a good husband, who treated her very well besides being rich, and lived a very happy life.

When Ye Mu first started as an apprentice, he knew almost nothing about everything. Occasionally, he would water too much and wilt the potted plants, but Su Qing was not harsh on him, and taught him a lot carefully. As the months passed, I gradually got used to it.

Watering and loosening the soil for the plants every day, watching them grow up day by day, and even seeing them grow from a few small leaves to lush branches and leaves, and gradually bloom from flower buds to beautiful flowers, you will feel sincere satisfaction.

Living in a fresh and fragrant working environment every day, although I earn less, it is surprisingly interesting.

Ye Mu learned the basic flower arrangement techniques, flower language, collocation, and care, etc., with ease. Sometimes Su Qing had something to do, and he was basically able to let him stay in the store alone.

In May, a young photographer named Jiang Xu arrived in the store.

When he came, Ye Mu was packing a bouquet of pink roses in the store, when suddenly he heard a 'click' sound behind him.

Turning around subconsciously, the eyes of the two collided unexpectedly.

Jiang Xu was wearing a clean white shirt with a handsome face, standing there with a smile in his eyes, "I'm sorry, I took a photo because I thought it looked good."

With a calm expression on Ye Mu's face, he simply replied, "It's okay."

Jiang Xu walked over and stood in front of him, and calmly handed him a blank piece of paper, "Hello, my name is Jiang Xu, and I'm here to interview for a job as a photographer."

Ye Mu took it with downcast eyes, apologetic in his voice, "The store manager just left, you wait here for a while, I'll give her a call."

Jiang Xu shrugged his shoulders, blinked his black and white eyes, and said with a good temper, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

His shirt collar stood upright, matched with his fair skin, he looked somewhat elegant and bookish, and his personality was very sunny and soft.

Ye Mu nodded slightly at him, turned around and went to the counter to call Su Qing.

Su Qing seemed to be busy, and there was no sign of answering after waiting for a long time.

Ye Mu didn't know what to do, and sent a private message, but he didn't get a reply.

Jiang Xu saw the other party's embarrassment, and smiled thoughtfully, "It's okay, and I'm not in a hurry."

He is slender, with a gentleness flowing from the corners of his brows and eyes, which makes people feel clean and comfortable.

Ye Mu pulled away the chair in the corner and suggested, "Sit here for a while."

Jiang Xu was not restrained, sat down generously, lowered his head slightly and took off the camera hanging around his neck.

Ye Mu poured him a cup of rose tea, and put the leaking glass in front of him.

Jiang Xuqing said thank you lightly, with a magnetic voice, very pleasant to hear.

Ye Mu was quite calm, and then returned to work in a tepid manner.

The afternoon sun shone in through the window, exuding a quiet and lazy atmosphere.

Jiang Xu didn't say much, just drinking tea quietly there.

Unfortunately, that day he waited until the evening when the store was closed but did not wait for Su Qing to come back.

Ye Mu felt a little guilty, and asked him to have dinner out of politeness.

Jiang Xu originally wanted to shirk, but he accepted it considering his future contacts and contacts.

Ye Mu has only moved here for a few months, and he is not familiar with the surrounding areas, so he took him to a Japanese restaurant nearby.

"I didn't expect you to choose this place." Jiang Xu smiled softly after sitting down in the single room.

Ye Mu looked up at him and said, "Have you been here?"

Jiang Xu propped his chin, "This is a shop opened by my friend."

Ye Mu's expression was dull, "It's a coincidence."

Jiang Xu smiled slightly, and recommended: "The shochu and salmon here are good, you can try it."

Ye Mu nodded silently, ordered some more dishes according to what he said, and then called the waiter to pass the note to him.

The food was served there very quickly, and a lot of things were placed in front of the two of them within a few minutes.

Jiang Xu was very calm, chatting while eating, and chatted with Ye Mu very naturally, talking a lot about photography and his previous experience of studying abroad.

Ye Mu was a bit skeptical at first, but he gradually relaxed in his decent conversation, blended in, and exchanged things related to himself from time to time.

Both of them are quite well-informed. After understanding their respective situations, they began to talk about more in-depth topics. Regarding the same views on the same matter, the former has a rational and calm after years of baptism, while the latter retains a youthful attitude. The development of innovative thinking is refreshing.

Ye Mu hadn't chatted with people like this for a long time, and he enjoyed it quite a bit. When Jiang Xu criticized the latest news with cold humor, he couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Xu thought that he disagreed with his point of view, so he took anecdotes about overseas celebrities as examples and told him a lot.

Ye Mu listened with interest, and said something very appropriately.

Jiang Xu was very cultured and patient, and started a lot of topics based on what he raised.

Overall, the meal was very enjoyable and full of content.

When it was time to leave, Jiang Xu asked Ye Mu for his phone number, saying that he wanted to make friends with him.

Ye Mu hesitated, but still left a string of numbers on the other party's mobile phone.

When he came home at night and was lying on the bed after washing, he found an unread text message from Jiang Xu.

——It's pleasure to meet you.

Ye Mu lowered his eyes and glanced at him, his fair face remained calm, and he simply replied in English.

——Likewise.

When Jiang Xu received this polite reply, his thin lips showed a gentle arc, and he couldn't help sending a message.

——Second time is not a coincidence, but I've been waiting for.

The meaning of this sentence was slightly ambiguous, but it was similar to a joke among friends. Ye Mu didn't take it seriously, and replied politely.

——Thankslot.

Jiang Xu bent his eyes, his eyelashes were long and thick, and sent him a photo of a fluffy cat.

Ye Mu received it, looked at the picture on the phone screen for a while, and replied very dullly.

—Excuse me?

Jiang Xu didn't answer, kept his distance, and clicked.

Ye Mu was a little sleepy after waiting for a long time, with drooping eyelids, he also sent him two good night words.

It may be because of his confusion, he even typed a certain letter wrong.

There was a hint of amusement in Jiang Xu's hazel eyes, and he sent the correct past in a friendly manner.

Ye Mu opened his eyes and took a look, then fell asleep silently.

The night was beautiful, and he felt a little relieved that he could make a friend in this lonely city.

If he can forget all the annoying things in the past, let him forget them all.
