[Zhongyingmei] Small vase

Abby and Steve enter the plant exhibition together.

Steve just took one look and knew: Abby loved this place.

When she saw the various plants on the shelf, her eyes lit up almost instantly; even though the exposition was not large in size, and some plants were even presented in the form of specimens, she still turned around with great enjoyment.

Thanks Nata!

Steve once again affirmed Natasha's professional level in his heart.It was rare for him to see Abby showing such an excited expression, the last time was when she dragged him to watch the jumping toadstool.

Seeing her acting like a child, Steve talked to him about plant science in a voice much higher than usual that he didn't realize, and couldn't help pricking up his ears even more.

He is willing to try to understand the world that Abby likes.

"Crystal orchids are very rare in the UK, and you can hardly find them." Abby saw a white orchid seedling in a glass cover just now, and she is still excited, "They are saprophytic plants and need to be ventilated. and permeable soil..."

She has become bouncing when she walks, with a wonderful sense of jumping, which complements the group of rabbits on her clothes very well.When the interest comes, I still talk while looking around with nostalgia, and walk on two legs backwards.

"Be careful--"

Before Steve finished speaking, the rabbit who was not walking well was hit by someone.

She was startled, and she blurted out "sorry" at first, and then felt the top of her head feel cool, and she touched her head belatedly, only to realize that the hat had fallen off.

Steve walked up quickly and grabbed her shoulders.The force of the impact was actually not that great, and the young boy smiled at her embarrassedly, put on his earphones and disappeared into the crowd again.

Steve helped Abby pick up the woolen hat, dusted it off and handed it to her.

For a moment when he didn't put on his hat, Steve stared at the pale golden head.Suddenly his eyes froze, and he flicked to the side again.

Float and turn back, and float again.

He suspected that he was wrong.

In just two seconds, he saw the top of Abby's head...

A seedling the size of a pea grew.

"..."

It's quite energetic, swinging and twisting in the wind.

Abby put her hat on and Miao Miao was gone.

Steve was in a trance.But he soon found a reason to defend his bunny girl: Maybe it was just a creative hairpin, after all, some hairpins can make the top of the head bloom.

Thinking of it this way, he was relieved and his heart was settled.Even when Abby called him, he couldn't help showing a grandfather-like smile while following him.

Today's young people are quite fashionable in dressing up.

……

They walked and talked all the way.Walking close to the center of the exhibition stand, Abby saw a huge Phalaenopsis specimen.

Through the glass window, she put her entire palm on it, and the hot air she exhaled formed a cloud of white mist outside the glass.

—and soon disappeared again.The Phalaenopsis appears brighter in the light, but it cannot move or grow.

"Actually, they shouldn't have picked it off at this time." Abby's voice was soft. "It can grow again. If there are enough nutrients, it can grow to the size of two glass covers."

This is a Phalaenopsis that has been fertilized by magic.I don't know what kind of opportunity made it happen, but it was a good opportunity; this makes its rhizome extraordinarily beautiful, and its color is also extraordinarily bright.

As for why the Muggles couldn't wait to pick it off and make a specimen when it was mature, maybe it was because they had never seen such a big Phalaenopsis.

But they'll never know, it's not the best of times.

Abby watched intently.There seemed to be only the shadow of a flower in her sky-blue pupils. She pressed her rosy cheeks against the cold glass window, and the phalaenopsis shone brightly, as if it had spread its wings and was touching her.

Steve looked at her and couldn't help murmuring:

"……You are right."

Not to mention that it can grow to the size of two glass covers, even if Abby said that this Phalaenopsis can grow as high as the roof of the house, Steve would reply to her "You are right" without blinking an eye.

Bowing his head to the beauty, Captain America finally realized thoroughly: he really fell.

……

Near noon, they watched a small plant auction.

It was the first time for Abby to see this kind of occasion, and she also followed the crowd to explore, and everything she saw was novel.Steve has been standing behind her, like an owner leading a puppy, pulling her when he sees someone approaching her, for fear of being scattered by the crowd.

The auction is quite informal, and there are no sky-high priced treasures in the lot, most of them are just for fun, bought home and placed on the table as a decoration.

The auctioneer, on the other hand, wore formal white gloves and looked around the room with style, showing the items to everyone.But the way of introducing plants is a bit like the family shopping guide that often appears on TV.

Abby was hoping that she might be able to find a partner for the cow flower, but the plants that were auctioned were quite ordinary, without the slightest magical aura.She originally planned to buy a pot of muggle plants to deal with it, but she still felt distressed, fearing that the cow's head would ruin it as soon as she bought it.

It is said that girls who act like a baby are the happiest, but bullhead flowers can kill people when they are splashed.Abby sighed heavily inwardly.

It seems that I can't do business when I go back today.

Just waiting and watching, just a second before the last auction item was presented, Abby suddenly regained her spirits.

And the probing ball on her head also vibrated in style!

Abby keenly felt that the ball had fully stretched out her body at this moment, and she was desperately trying to get the top of the hat on. She heard a faint, "bang" sound, and then a small flower burst on the top of her head!

Abby: "..."

She hastily held down the woolen hat.

But at this moment, she no longer cared about the subtle arcs on the woolen hat covered with small flowers, because her nerves were all affected by this collection wrapped in velvet black cloth.

She involuntarily stood on tiptoe.

The auctioneer slowly removed the flannelette, revealing the glass cover underneath.

Abby stopped breathing for a second.But soon she found something was wrong.The plants in the glass cover are all black and curled up.

It wasn't a hellebore at all, but another magical plant.

It was an unformed devil vine.

Abby is disappointed.No one understands this kind of mood better than her. It is better to never have any hope if the hope is overjoyed.

No, not right.

The florets poking toward the ball are still blooming.It popped up and down in her hat, in a lively way.

Abby narrowed her eyes and looked into the tangled vines of the devil vine.

Through the cracks of the group of vines, she clearly saw a golden flash the size of a grain of rice!

That was the last flavor in the recipe that she had been looking for: golden hellebore.

Abby didn't expect that the magic plant she wanted to find without knowing where to find it would appear in a small auction!

With slightly trembling hands, she held down the wand in her pocket.

Steve's warm voice suddenly came from behind, like breaking through the barrier of fog, and shining the sun on Abby.

"Abby?"

Abby's fingers flicked convulsively, then loosened again.

Steve held her shoulders from behind, leaned close to her ear with an intimate gesture like crossing the neck, and whispered in a low voice:

"You like this?"

Abby's face turned red "shua" again when her feet suddenly fell back to the ground as if she had stepped into a fairyland.

Behind her are his warm and firm muscles, making people dare not enter or retreat.Suddenly froze in place and did not dare to move.

She poked her neck and denied with a guilty conscience:

"No..."

She doesn't like devil vines very much, but she has been thinking about the hellebore wrapped in it for a long time.

But this is her own business, and she subconsciously doesn't want to bother him.

"..."

Although the number of times he turned into a repeater in front of him was gradually decreasing, but in the final analysis, it was still the girl whose eyes wandered when she lied.

Without saying anything, Steve chuckled softly in her ear.The warm air blew up a lock of her hair, and Abby quickly smoothed it with her hands.

The auctioneer was still pretending to be mysterious, which whetted the appetite of plant lovers:

"Friends, this is our last auction today. It is quite special, because we can't judge what this plant is. It is likely to be a new species of plant that has never been discovered; about its bidding, we We will also start bidding at zero yuan."

"—Now, ladies and gentlemen, you can start quoting."

None of the people present were professionals, and the auction was not very formal, and there was no need to raise a placard for the quotation; everyone looked at each other, and a young man raised his voice jokingly:

"one dollar."

A dollar can buy you a balloon at most, and the crowd burst into good-natured laughter.Immediately afterwards, the quotations of "two dollars" and "three dollars" came one after another.

Abby curled her fingers nervously.

When she was about to raise her hand, she suddenly felt the back of her hand get hot, and it was Steve who held her hand down.

"Twenty dollars."

Following the offer just now, he began to participate in the bidding.

Since it is not clear what this group of weird plants is, and the appearance is not the type that girls like, so only a small number of people are interested, and no one raises the price.

Steve finally got it without a hitch.

Abby was so nervous that her whole heart was pounding and her palms were sweating.

Steve bowed his head and smiled at her: "For you. A girl with extraordinary taste."

It is rare for Captain America to see girls like such flowers, and it is difficult for him to see any clues from the dark stuff.

Of course, his hyper-bright eyesight told him there was something inside, and it was shining and shining.

Abby is no ordinary girl, she is a wizard who likes to tinker with various recipes at home.He didn't intend to explore what was wrapped inside. For him, its meaning was only: Abby liked it.

She likes it, so it's worth it.

Abby looked at him with big wet eyes, and he could see that she was really excited, even though she was trying to suppress it.She said "thank you" to him with an expression that would not cry.

At this moment, Steve suddenly wanted to hide her in his close pocket.

The auctioneer on the stage is still full of enthusiasm:

"——All of our auctions today have been sold, thank you for your enthusiastic support! Please take pictures of your favorite friends, and after the auction is over, go to the background to trade. We will provide you with free packaging services..."

Abby couldn't hear what the auctioneer was saying.Her mind was full of the shadow of the hellebore, her eyes were fixed on it, she was staring at the last lot being put on the cart, pushed down again, and then disappeared from her sight...

"boom!"

Suddenly, the entire exhibition stand exploded!

Accompanied by this sharp roar, large and small glass covers shattered from the inside, and glass shards scattered in all directions.
