The Flower's High Hand in the City

  "Hey, you'll be meeting Qiao Xiaoqiao later, what gift are you preparing for her?" Su Beibei asked.

  "A gift? I am the best gift!" Xia Tian said after some thought.

  "Hey, do you understand girls' thoughts at all?" Su Beibei wanted to strangle this guy. "You haven't seen Qiao Xiaoqiao for a long time, right? Don't mention sending her sports cars or diamonds, at least send her a bouquet of flowers!"

  "That's right, she seems to like flowers." Xia Tian muttered to himself, "Back then I gave her a Millennium Snow Lotus and she was very happy!"

  Millennium Snow Lotus?

  Su Beibei clenched her fists, wishing she could pounce on Xia Tian and give him a good beating. Can't this bastard just stop bragging for once?

  "That thousand-year-old Snow Lotus is forget it, just send ninety-nine roses and that's about it." Su Beibei said through gritted teeth.

  "Roses, where are we supposed to pick these things?" Xia Tian was a bit worried, as if no one had ever told him this before.

  "You idiot, it's not picking, it's buying from a flower shop!" Su Beibei couldn't bear it anymore.

  "Oh, it can be bought? That's easy." Xia Tian let out a sigh of relief.

  "Hmm, do you have money?" Su Beibei said in a bad mood. "Now ordinary roses are ten yuan per branch, ninety-nine branches cost nine hundred and ninety yuan, you can't even afford to take a taxi, how can you afford flowers?"

  "In fact, I have money." Xia Tian looked at Su Beibei with a serious expression, "According to Second Master's words, I now have a lot of money."

  "Hmm, how much money do you have?" Su Beibei didn't believe this guy had a lot of money at all.

  "Second Master said that the money I have on me now is several tens of thousands times more than what he brought when he first left home!" Xia Tian replied.

  "Hey, come on, how much money do you have on you?" Su Beibei asked discontentedly.

  Xiatian thought for a moment and then fished out a coin from his pocket.

  "Is this all the money you have on you?" Su Beibei was stunned for a moment.

  "Yes." Xia Tian nodded.

  "This is what you said, several tens of thousands of times more than Master Xia's money?" Su Beibei wanted to strangle Xia Tian to death, but unfortunately she knew she couldn't beat him.

  "In the summer, how much money did your second master bring with him when he left home that year?" Ye Mengying couldn't help but ask.

  "Second Master White started from scratch and left home with nothing. The summer's answer left the two beauties speechless."

  "Anyway, you only have one dollar on you now, not even enough to buy a rose. If you want to buy flowers for Qiao Xiaoqiao, you'll have to think of a way to make some money, right?" Su Beibei asked weakly.

  "Uh-huh, that's right." Xia Tian thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

  "I think you're quite good at fighting, how about being my bodyguard? I'll give you 10,000 yuan every month." Su Beibei finally got to the point. This guy was so short of money, and with such a good offer, he would definitely agree. Once he became her bodyguard, she could deal with him as she pleased.

  "I won't be your bodyguard." Xia Tian flatly refused.

  "Why?" Su Beibei was taken aback, "Hey, are you dissatisfied with the amount of money? This can be negotiated."

  "It has nothing to do with money." Xia Tian shook his head, "My second master dislikes bodyguards, so I won't be a bodyguard."

  "Why does your second master dislike bodyguards?" Su Beibei was very depressed.

  "Because he's an assassin." Xia Tian said casually.

  "What?!" Su Beibei exclaimed in shock. An assassin's apprentice?! That means he's also an assassin, right?!

  "Hey, you, you're not a killer, are you?" Su Beibei pointed at Xia Tian, her small face turned pale, and she suddenly remembered the scene where Xia Tian tortured the fierce tiger before.

  "Well, not for now." Xia Tian said after some thought.

  "What's meant by 'not yet'?" Su Beibei couldn't help but ask again.

  "Because I've never killed anyone before!" Xia Tian said with a matter-of-fact expression, and then rarely comforted Su Beibei for once, "Don't worry, even if I'm an assassin, I won't kill you."

  "Why, why?" Su Beibei couldn't help but ask.

  "Second Master said that any deal under 10 million can't be accepted, you're definitely not worth 10 million, so I definitely won't kill you." Xia Tian's response made Su Beibei depressed again.

  "Sobey finally knew why you like to brag so much, because you are just like your master!" Su Beibei said indignantly.

  "No way, Second Master looked down on that little money, thinking back then, he made 10 million US dollars in just one day." Xia Tian said with a smile.

  "Keep blowing, blow yourself to death!" Su Beibei said gritting her teeth.

  "My master is even more formidable, earning one billion Hong Kong dollars in just an hour." Xia Tian continued to boast.

  "What does your master do in the summer?" Ye Mengying rarely spoke easily, and her questions were always to the point.

  "Master Fu is a doctor." Xia Tian immediately gave an answer.

  "Don't you also have a Third Master? Is he very formidable too?" Ye Mengying asked again.

  "My third master said that the money my first and second masters earned was all ill-gotten gains, so he just confiscated it." Xia Tian winked at Ye Mengying, "Beautiful sister, if you want to know more about me, then be my wife."

  Ye Mengying's face turned red, knowing that her intentions had been seen through by Xia Tian, so she stopped asking questions and focused on driving.

  Su Beibei finally decided to stop messing around with Xia Tian, because she felt that this guy was bragging from start to finish and hadn't said a few true words, it was really too tiring to talk to him, so it's better to save some energy.

  The rest of the way was smooth, and two hours later, the car finally entered the urban area of Jianghai City and stopped in front of Jianghai University.

  "This is Jianghai University." Ye Mengying said to Xia Tian.

  "Thanks, beautiful sister." Xia Tian's face was filled with excitement as he opened the car door and got out.

  "Wait!" Ye Mengying handed Xia Tian a business card, "This has my phone number on it, call me if you need anything."

  "Oh, okay." Xia Tian took over and got off the car, walking towards the entrance of Jianghai University.

  "Sister, why didn't you tell him that the university is already on vacation?" Su Beibei couldn't help but ask in the car, "Qiao Xiaoqiao isn't even at school now, how could he possibly find her?"

  "I didn't want him to find Qiao Xiaoqiao so soon anyway." Ye Mengying said calmly.

  "Ah?" Su Beibei was taken aback, "Why? Eldest sister, you wouldn't really want to marry him, would you?"

  "What are you talking about?" Ye Mengying gave Su Beibei a white eye, her pretty face slightly red, "Beibei, don't you think that Xia Tian is very mysterious?"

  "I don't think so. This guy is only good at fighting and bragging, nothing special." Su Beibei said nonchalantly.

  "Bei Bei, have you ever thought of a possibility that everything he said was true?" Ye Mengying asked slowly.

  "This can't be true?" Su Bei was stunned for a moment. If all those were real, then this guy wouldn't be just ordinary powerful.

  "If it's all true, then I don't want him to find Qiao Xiaoqiao so soon." Ye Mengying smiled faintly, "He doesn't have any money on him now, and he has no relatives or friends in Jianghai City. If he can't find Qiao Xiaoqiao, he will definitely call me."

  "But can't he just call Qiao Xiaoqiao directly?" Su Beibei was still a bit confused.

  "Perhaps he didn't know Qiao Xiaoqiao's phone number, otherwise, he shouldn't be unaware that Qiao Xiaoqiao is no longer at Jianghai University." Yemengying thought for a moment and said.

  "Big sister, what if he calls you, will you help him find Qiao Xiaoqiao?" Su Beibei asked again.

  "Of course I'll help." Ye Mengying nodded and said, "Although we don't get along with Qiao Xiaoqiao, no matter what, Xia Tian saved me today. I, Ye Mengying, am not an ungrateful person."

  Shaking her head, Ye Mengying continued: "Bei Bei, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's hurry to the hospital."

  As she spoke, Ye Mengying stepped on the accelerator and the car sped up onto the highway.

  **

  Unlike many universities located in relatively remote areas, Jianghai University is situated in the city center of Jianghai. Just a few dozen meters outside the main gate is the bustling main thoroughfare of the city, where traffic flows densely despite the sweltering heat. The reason for this is simply that there are too many people in Jianghai City, with over 10 million permanent residents within the city limits alone.

  Known as a century-old famous school, Jianghai University has a reputation at home and abroad. In the national university rankings, Jianghai University has always been in the top five, and among the dozens of universities in Jianghai City, Jianghai University is the undisputed leader.

  "This gate is really shabby." Standing at the entrance of Jianghai University, Xia Tian couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment. This renowned university had an ordinary gate that was almost inconspicuous, and if one didn't look closely, it would be hard to notice the four characters "Jianghai University" which had become somewhat faded after being weathered by wind and rain.

  In the summer, he walked into Jianghai University and looked around, wanting to find someone to ask about Qiao Xiaoqiao's whereabouts. However, as he looked around, he discovered a flower shop instead.

  "Xīn xīn huā diàn?" (Flower shop?) Xia Tian suddenly felt a spark in his eyes, and he couldn't help but think of Su Beibei's words, should he send flowers to Qiao Xiaoqiao?

  Three years ago, when he parted with Qiao Xiaoqiao, he promised to come down the mountain and find her within a year at most. However, it wasn't until now that he finally managed to come down the mountain, having already broken his original promise.

  "I'll just go buy some flowers and give them to her, that way she won't be angry." Xia Tian made up his mind quickly.

  For most men, buying a bouquet of flowers is simple, but for Xia Tian, who now has only one coin on him, he must first go and earn some money before he can buy the flowers.

  "Hey sister, you have irregular periods..." Xia Tian stopped a girl in her early twenties.
