Nian Xi sighed with relief.
Thankfully, the lily of the valley was growing in the earth. She wouldn’t have known how to take care of it if Jiang Yuning gave it to her.

I get what you’re trying to say to me. Don’t send me any more of your father’s flowers. Let your father keep them,
Nian Xi hurriedly said to him.
It’s already hard for me to take care of myself and my dog. It’s gonna be too tricky for me to look after precious plants. I never tried growing flowers. Even a cactus could die in my apartment.


Really?
How could any woman in the world not know how to grow a cactus?

It’s okay. I’ll go to your place from time to time to look after the flowers for you,
said Jiang Yuning.
I’m going to clean your apartment anyway. You don’t need to do anything but feel its beauty.

Nian Xi didn’t know what to say.
She suddenly doubted if she ever had a life before. Had she ever appreciated pretty flowers? She didn’t think so.
However, from this day on, she would be carefully appreciating the three-million yuan daisies.

Oh, Xi, I’m going to sign up for a driver’s license test today,
said Jiang Yuning happily.
I’ll invite you to go for a drive with me when I get my license.


All right…
Nian Xi tried to encourage him.
But wait until your hands recover. Also, don’t give yourself too much pressure to drive.


Sure. Are you busy today?
Jiang Yuning said.

A bit. We have a new case today.


Did it happen at my university?
Jiang Yuning asked.

No. It happened in the countryside, near here.


Why isn’t it near my university?
Jiang Yuning was disappointed.

You want bad things to always happen near your university? Wherever we police officers go, we won’t be going for good things,
Nian Xi said.

All right. Oh, there’s a large-scale science fair in Xia City, the day after tomorrow. Would you like to go with me… on a date?
Jiang Yuning asked with a low, shy voice.

I don’t have time during the day. How about we go in the evening?


The place closes in the evening,
said Jiang Yuning with disappointment.

Then we can go for a movie together,
said Nian Xi.
You can book the tickets now. Remember, I want to watch the most popular and exciting movie.

After ending the call, Jiang Yuning spent a short while thinking, then turned and asked Uncle Han,
What’s the most exciting movie? Xi wants to watch that.

Uncle Han stopped, then gave him a mysterious smile and said,
I didn’t know that Miss Nian is interested in excitement. All right, you let me worry about that.

On hearing what Uncle Han said, Jiang Yuning felt relieved.
At night, Jiang Yuning got a call from his father, Jiang Fei.

I heard that you let someone take away my little daisy last night. Where did you take it? Send it back to me now.


I gave it to someone,
said Jiang Yuning with a deep voice.

What?
Jiang Fei’s voice almost blew up the phone. At that moment, he felt as if his blood had gone straight into his brain.
You gave my treasure to someone? Do you know how many years I spent cultivating it? I have only managed to grow that single one so far. Are you trying to kill me? Who did you give it to? Bring it back now!


No.
Jiang Yuning shook his head without thinking.
I gave it to my girlfriend. She loves it.

Jiang Fei was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
I can’t believe you gave away my treasure to fawn on some woman. You are a black sheep in our family. Why do you need a girlfriend? You should stay single forever.


Stingy,
Jiang Yuning mumbled.
I’m not giving it back to you anyway.


You little bstard… wait…

Before he could finish, Jiang Yuning ended the call and then went back into his lab.
