Its location was within the circle of the two Imperial Capitals. Almost all the buildings here are important institutions and companies. There were very few residences except the old houses in the courtyard. Moreover, in this place where the price of every square inch of land was expensive, there was no empty space left.
"Trs. Zhou, come with me.” Shi Jin took her through an alley and stopped at the entrance of a house.
Shi Jin knocked on the door. An old couple opened the door and greeted him respectfully, "Miss Shi."
“Uncle, Auntie, this is Mr. Zhou. She is here to help me take care of the flowers,” Shi Jin introduced.
"Alright, Mr. Zhou, please come in." My uncle welcomed him in.
It was not because Zhou Xu had never been inside a house that had a yard before. However, this was the first time he had seen a house with such a vast courtyard in the capital. The courtyard of the house has green brick and red tiles. The courtyard is huge and filled with a wide variety of exotic flowers and plants. The smell is incredible.
"No wonder." Zhou Xu had stood outside before, and he smelled something exotic, calm, and soothing.
Zhou Xu was stunned, but walked over. It was only when he looked from a distance and felt that he could not see the end of it that he realized that this was not a single courtyard house. This is the courtyard of many houses whose walls are torn down so that they will connect and become spacious.
The size of a single home page is impressive. After several courtyards of the houses were connected, it became even more spectacular.
In the Imperial Capital, there was no land area even within the Fifth Ring Road that could be used to build new houses. A house that had a courtyard like this was truly rare. You can't even buy it with money.
Uncle poured tea. "Trs. Zhou, please drink his tea.”
Zhou Xu picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea leaves are fragrant and have an indescribable pleasant taste. He looked at the cup and saw pink petals floating within it.
He knew that it was most likely made by Shi Jin.
"Trs. Zhou, I still want to plant something else, but I need your help with the soil.”
“Do not hesitate to make any request.”
“I need a lot of ground and it's quite complicated. I'll make a detailed list for you. Please help me prepare. ”
Zhou Xu took the list and looked at the various data listed on it. He didn't find it troublesome. Instead, he felt that doing such a thing was a form of pleasure. It's been a long time since he felt this way.
Zhou Xu looked at the garden and said, "You rented such a large place to plant flowers?"
Renting?
Shi Jin laughed, but did not explain further. He just said, “There are still some flowers in the room. Do you want to look around? ”
Upon seeing the flowers, Shi Jin said goodbye to Zhou Xu and returned to the car.
Xiao Li smiled and said, “Shi Jin, Big Brother Yao just said that Old Master Li sent you some flower seeds. He sent them back to the Orchid Pavilion.”
"OK, understand," Shi Jin replied as he got into the car.
Shi Jin opened his WeChat and saw a message from Old Master Li.
“Ginostemma.jpg” seeds
“Monk root seeds Kusnezoff.jpg”
“bench lantern China.jpg”
“Shi Jin, see if this fits. I have sent it to Jiahong and asked him to give it to you.”
Ever since Shi Jin reunited with Old Master Li, Shi Jin occasionally consulted him on WeChat to find out about this. After which, the Old Master became interested. Every time he found a good seed and medicinal plant, he would remember to send one to Shi Jin.
"I understand, Grandpa."
Shi Jin sent a picture of the flower he had planted.
Shi Jin had yet to inform Grandpa of the changes he made to the courtyard of the house.
Shi Jin told him about it.
“It's a good change, a good change. I wanted to renovate it like that a while ago. ”
Old Master Li was overjoyed and even sent stickers. "Send me more pictures."
Shi Jin smiled and took a few more photos to send to him.
“By the way, grandpa gave the tea you gave last time to my old friends. Everyone agrees it was good after drinking it. Grandpa is worried you can't buy tea leaves outside, right? ”
“Grandfather can't buy it, but I'll send grandfather more. Take more this time. Don't hesitate to share with friends grandpa.”
The tea Shi Jin gave to his grandfather last time was specially made with a medicine that could calm the mind and nourish the body. That's very good for the old man. No wonder if everyone feels the benefits after drinking it.
When he returned home, he found the tea leaves that Fu Xiuyuan had bought. He divided his herbs and added them into tea leaves according to his comparison. Only then did he hand it over to Yao Jiahong and ask for help to be delivered.
***
Xiuli Entertainment has made a contract termination agreement for Shi Xuexin.
"Why ... couldn't you give me another chance?" Shi Xuexin held onto the agreement and bit her lips pitifully.
Hu Lai looked at him and said flatly, “There is no reason. You better go."
Originally, Xiuli Entertainment was willing to sign a contract with Shi Xuexin and spend a lot of money on her because of Chu Ling. Now that Chu Ling refused to protect him, the company could only follow normal procedures.
“I want to see Brother Chu Ling again. Sister Lai, help me.”
“He doesn't want to see you again. Take care of yourself." Hu Lai released his hand.
Shi Xuexin walked out alone.
The impact of this incident was too bad. Father and Mother Chu's impression of Shi Xuexin also hit a low. Families on both sides had officially become distant.
After Shi Xuexin left, Hu Lai walked into Chu Ling's office. "Chu Ling, Shi Xuexin is gone."
“Mm.” Chu Ling nodded.
After sending out the bomb that time, both of them felt relaxed.
“By the way, I've bought the villa you asked me to buy.” Hu Lai handed over the book of the house. “You want to move there? The Fifth Circle was a bit far away. ”
It was not that Hu Lai did not want to buy a villa within the Fourth Circle. It was just that there were no new villas even within the Fifth Circle of the Imperial Capital. It was not easy to find a villa that someone was willing to sell. However, why would Chu Ling want to buy such a spacious villa?
"You don't have to worry about this for now." Chu Ling took the car keys and property deed and left alone.
Hu Lai looked worried.
Chu Ling wondered, but did not find where Shi Jin was staying. Or rather, no one knew where Shi Jin lived.
According to what he knew, Li Juekai and his wife only lived in a small villa. That was why he decided to buy this villa for Shi Jin.
After what had happened to Shi Xuexin, Chu Ling finally realized that Shi Jin was more important to her than all the other things she had thought of.
Thinking of his passionate love, each strand of his hair emitted regret. Unfortunately, Supreme Entertainment and Yao Jiahong had protected Shi Jin very well. He didn't even have a chance to see her now.
After taking a walk outside, Chu Ling returned home.
Madam Chu is calling someone. “I'm really sorry, Mrs Shi. Even though I have watched Xuexin grow up, I am completely unable to make a decision on the matter. Chu Ling did not possess such power. Everything in Xiuli Entertainment depends on the opinion of the top brass. I'm sorry."
He hung up the phone then, he sneered and complained, “Why don't you see how much trouble Shi Xuexin has brought to the Chu family? Do you still want to make peace now? Mom played mahjong for the past few days and mom was laughed at by those guys. They say mom gave up on good women like Shi Jin and found the curse.”
"Mom," call Chu Ling.
Mother Chu looked at her son and said, "Did Shi Xuexin manage to terminate the contract?"
"Yes," Chu Ling replied casually.
Mother Chu smiled happily. “No wonder Yu Xiuhua keeps calling now. It's good that it's resolved. Who asked Xuexin to be a liar and even cheat people abroad? I've already told the Shi family that the engagement between the two families will be terminated. I won't waste time with them again.”
Chu Ling pursed her lips as she recalled how she had hurt Shi Jin back then. He said, “I understand. I will think of a way to get Shi Jin back.”
"Get Shi Jin back?" Madam Chu did not have a good impression of Shi Jin, especially his cold demeanor, it was worse than Shi Xuexin. However, since everyone said that Shi Jin was beneficial to Chu Ling's career, Madam Chu did not mind.
He said, “That's also a good thing. When the time comes, you two can work together.”.
"Mother!" Chu Ling cut him off. “I don't want a strong alliance. I just want to…"
To compensate Shi Jin for all his debts to Shi Jin.
Chu Ling had already changed her mindset. He wanted to get Shi Jin back, not for his career, but for a sincere relationship. He now knew how much he had lost.
"OK okay okay. Everything's fine. Everything's fine." Madam Chu was surprised by her son's expression.
After a few days, Chu Ling finally learned that Shi Jin was going to go to the courtyard of the house.
Chu Ling was relieved to know where Shi Jin lived. Over the past few days, he had put aside all his work and waited on the road to the courtyard of the house.
After waiting for a few days, he finally saw Shi Jin's car. Chu Ling sat up straight.
Shi Jin did not apply makeup for a few days and he looked tired and rough. Even his diehard fans would not recognize him when they saw him like this.
Chu Ling followed after him.
Shi Jin halted his steps and turned around warily. He saw Chu Ling walking over.
“Shi Jin.” Chu Ling was afraid that he would avoid it. He rushed forward and stood beside her. “How are you?”
Shi Jin looked at him coldly. "It seems you have no right to ask this question."
"I know." Chu Ling's voice was filled with pain. “I know I came late and late with you.
"Keep those words for your fans."
“Shi Jin!” Chu Ling took two steps forward and said, “Shi Xuexin and I have broken up. We have also cancelled the engagement.”
Shi Jin looked at him as if he was looking at a fool. The words 'What this has to do with me' were clearly written in his eyes.
"I finally understand who is the most important and precious person in my life," Chu Ling said softly and solemnly. "I also know how many mistakes I made first ."
Chu Ling raised his head. “Shi Jin, do you still remember what you said first? You said you wanted a house of your own. You said that you want to grow the flowers and plants you want in it and have the world to yourself.”
Shi Jin was confused. Did he ever say those words? He completely forgot about it.
Compared to his current life, Chu Ling was more like a person who appeared in a dream. The shadow Chu Ling had in her mind was ordinary and could not move any waves in her heart. Shi Jin already had a lot of his own items right now. What Chu Ling said was completely unimportant and not worth paying attention to.
Chu Ling issued a property deed. He had no idea what he could use to move Shi Jin's heart.
The coldness and distance stung his eyes, but he had to try again.
“See, this is the villa I bought. It was right beside the Fifth Circle. It has a very large garden. You can plant everything you want in it. I can help you grow the soil and water it. We will have children in the future ... "
"Shut up!" Shi Jin stopped Chu Ling's words coldly.
“Better than you rent a yard house here to plant flowers and plants!” Chu Ling had wondered and discovered that the courtyard of the house was filled with Shi Jin plants.
Chu Ling said, The “Vila I bought has a front yard, a garden platform on the top floor, and several large balconies. And everything can be planted with flowers and plants. Shi Jin, I want you to consider it. I'm very sincere. I want to fulfill your dreams and fulfill my dreams as well. ”
"Sorry, my dreams have nothing to do with you." Shi Jin took a few steps back when he saw Chu Ling approaching.
"Jin Shi ..." Chu Ling stepped forward to grab his wrist. However, Shi Jin avoided it easily and did not give him a chance. Shi Jin looked at Chu Ling coldly. “Please don't look for me anymore. There's nothing else between us.”
Shi Jin looked back. "Xiao Li!"
Xiao Li was already oppressed. He was worried about Shi Jin's safety and remained close to him.
"Let's go" Shi Jin said to Xiao Li.
"okay." Xiao Li glared at Chu Ling before following Shi Jin.
As they got into the car, Shi Jin massaged his brows, feeling a little frustrated.
Not because the words Chu Ling had touched her, but because Chu Ling had found out about the place where the flowers were bred. It would be uncomfortable for him to come so casually next time.
He must think of a way.
***
Chu Ling clenched her fists as she watched Shi Jin's back disappear. He got into the van and the car disappeared from his sight.
Chu Ling did not believe that Shi Jin would be so cruel to her. How could his past love be lost so quickly?
Shi Jin had sung so many sincere love songs. Does that have nothing to do with him?
Chu Ling stood in a daze for a while before walking into the courtyard of the house and knocking on the door.
Uncle opened the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Hello, I want to rent this courtyard house for a high price," Chu Ling said.
If he rented it at a high price, he would be closer to Shi Jin.
He had never thought of buying it since there would be no one who would sell the courtyard house in the imperial capital. If there were, there would be no buyers because they could not afford it.
Especially in this core area.
“No rent, no sales. The owner is using it, ” said the old man and closed the door.
That door almost hit Chu Ling's nose.
Owner use? What does this mean?
Chu Ling's fingers hung on the tip of her pants, not understanding her sentence.
***
When Shi Jin returned to Orchid Pavilion, Fu Xiuyuan had just returned home from his company.
"Don't you say you went to see the flowers?" He was surprised that Shi Jin had returned so quickly.
“I didn't see the flowers. Last time I met Chu Ling, ” Shi Jin said helplessly.
Fu Xiuyuan frowned slightly. Shi Jin did not hide anything from her and told her the truth.
“So, I'm not in the mood to see any more flowers. I go straight home,” Shi Jin said.
When Shi Jin mentioned Chu Ling, he did not look reluctant at all. His tone was completely calm, as if it was completely unimportant. It was as if he was not even human, just something insignificant.
Fu Xiuyuan's eyebrows slightly loosened and said, "I'll accompany you to the backyard to look at the flowers."
Shi Jin smiled and placed his hand on Fu Xiuyuan's palm. Actually, seeing flowers is a secondary thing. The key is the person they see together.
When he arrived at the backyard, Fu Xiuyuan rolled up his sleeves and picked up the gardening equipment. "I'll help."
The man in a tie already looked like a model when he started weeding. He looked more attractive than when he was reading the files.
"Then I'll water them." Shi Jin caught up with him.
***
After that, Chu Ling went to the other courtyard of the house again, but she could not approach him anymore.
The road they had to cross was already closed for the sake of city planning. Cars that come and go must have permission to enter. He had no pass and could not find where he could get the pass no matter how hard he tried. He had no choice, other than to give up on meeting Shi Jin here.
He himself was busy with his work and had to put things off for an unscheduled time.
***
Shi Jin sat in Xiao Li's car. When he arrived, he saw a closed road.
"Xiao Li, did you get permission?" Shi Jin asked.
"No." Xiao Li looked and said, "I'll turn around first and ask Brother Yao how to handle this."
Just as he was about to turn around, the closed path opened and let them pass.
"What the hell is going on?" Xiao Li asked the person inside.
“Nothing happened. Your car is free to go anywhere.”
Xiao Li muttered strangely. Shi Jin turned around and understood what he meant.
Fu Xiuyuan, that petty man, deliberately closed this area because he did not want Chu Ling to take another step. However, this action actually won Shi Jin's heart. He did not want to see and meet Chu Ling again.
The two people who opened the path also said strangely, “Any. I don't see anything here that needs fixing, but the road is closed.”
"That's fine. Usually, no one would come to this path. This road can only lead to the courtyard of the house there. Other than the people in the courtyard of that house, it basically had no effect. I don't know what kind of weird rule this is.”
“I really don't understand.”
“If you don't understand, keep working. There is no need for us to understand the world of others.”
***
After some time, Shi Jin went to the university.
His seat next to Li Yuanyuan was not occupied by anyone else. Li Yuanyuan guarded it for him. On it was Li Yuanyuan's book.
“I don't know why you left the chair for Shi Jin. He didn't even come to class.” The girl next to him could not understand.
"What if he comes?" Li Yuanyuan said without looking.
Btc ...
