Sweet Beauty

Chapter 904: What A Coincidence

And this was a good thing.     

He wanted to improve, and they cannot stop him, can they?     

“All right.” Zhang Xiuying said with relief, “Let Cihui go. I see you are all pretty busy lately. Although I don’t know what you are busy with, but since this is a small matter, there’s no need for you to waste time on it. Right now, Cihui is the only one in the family who has nothing to do. Let him go. After buying it, I will ask him to send the food to Qin Yu. That’s right, isn’t the director of this movie Fan Xiaobo? Coincidentally, Cihui is here. He can learn more from him and improve his skills a little.”     

Han Cihui did not want to send the food to Qin Yu personally. But his mother had already said so, and he had just boasted and used his position as Qin Yu’s uncle to get permission to go to Chinatown, so how could he refuse now?     

Han Cihui was reluctant, but outwardly, he said with a smile. “My mother knows me well.”     

Qin Shanyuan clapped his hands. “Then it’s decided.”     

The next day, Han Cihui woke up early in the morning and swaggered out the door.     

Zhang Xiuying and the others were having breakfast downstairs.     

When Han Cihui heard the laughter in the dining room, he raised his hand to brush his hair and walked confidently toward them.     

“Lin Xiu, is it just me, or have Shanyuan and Jiaying been getting along well for the past two days? They are both very affectionate. I think after Qin Yu and Jiahao’s wedding, it’s their turn to have a wedding.” Zhang Xiuying scooped a spoonful of porridge into her mouth and said to Lin Xiu with envy.     

Lin Xiu smiled modestly. “How can they get married so quickly? I think they might want to wait another year and a half before they want to get mar-”     

Before Lin Xiu could finish her sentence, with a “puffttt” sound, Zhang Xiuying suddenly spat out the porridge in her mouth.     

Tian Qihua quickly took out a tissue and handed it to her.     

Lin Xiu frowned and said unhappily, “Auntie, what are you doing? Don’t tell me what I said just now hit your weak heart?”     

Zhang Xiuying waved her hand vigorously and stared directly over Lin Xiu’s shoulder.     

Only then did everyone follow her gaze and look up. Finally, the air suddenly became silent.     

Han Cihui looked at everyone blankly and asked in confusion, “Why are you all looking at me like that?”     

Zhang Xiuying quickly spat out the unfinished porridge in her mouth and shouted at him. “Cihui, did you take the wrong medicine? That stupid hairstyle of yours, hurry up and fix it for me!”     

Han Cihui touched his bangs and smiled proudly. “Why? This is the hairstyle I like. From now on, I will wear this hairstyle every day.”     

Tian Qihua and Lin Xiu laughed out loud. They had seen a fool before, but never one like Han Cihui!     

What era was this?     

Han Cihui actually liked this style?     

If people saw this hairstyle, they would think they were back in the 1970s.     

Hearing everyone’s laughter, Han Cihui didn’t mind it. He took the crab cake from a plate and bit into it. Satisfied with the taste, he waved to everyone. “Bye, everyone. I’m going to Chinatown to buy food for Qin Yu.”     

Everyone was silent.         

At this moment, Zhang Xiuying truly felt that her son’s brain had been damaged.     

• • • •     

Han Cihui was happily singing a song while driving his car to Chinatown. However, he did not drive to the supermarkets or restaurants selling food. Instead, he drove directly to a flower shop.     

It was still early, but there were already many customers in the shop. Most of them were women who were picking out flowers in the shop.     

Even though there were so many women in the shop, Han Cihui still managed to spot the girl with one glance. He was in no hurry to greet her. He just stood there and calmly watched her introduce different kinds of flowers to her customer.     

The girl’s smile was clean and pure. There were cute dimples on both sides of her cheeks. Han Cihui felt that he could look at her like that all day without getting bored.     

How could there be such a beautiful girl with such a beautiful smile in this world?     

Han Cihui looked at the girl and suddenly thought of something. Very quickly, the main plot of a movie came to his mind. The female lead in the movie was the girl in front of him.     

“Hey!”     

Suddenly, a clear voice rang in Han Cihui’s ears.     

Han Cihui was shocked and immediately came back to her senses. He just realized that the girl was already standing in front of him. He smiled shyly. “Are you done with your work?”     

The girl stretched. “Yes. There will be more customers in the morning, but after a while, it’ll be fine.”     

Han Cihui just stared at her and smiled. His eyes were fixed on her face.     

The girl looked back and asked politely after making sure no customers came in. “Which flowers would you like to buy this time?”     

“Huh? Flowers?” Han Cihui looked around and spotted lilies. “Twenty pink lilies and twenty pure white ones,” he said.     

As he spoke of this, he deliberately paused and said seriously, “This time, please help me wrap them properly. It’s for someone else.”     

The girl smiled. “Okay.” Then, she walked toward the lilies. Quickly, she plucked off the flowers. Then she took the flowers to the table to wrap them.     

Han Cihui followed her all the way without saying a word. He just followed her like a lost puppy.     

The girl’s hand, which was cutting the wrapping paper, immediately stopped. She looked at Han Cihui and asked with a smile, “This is for your girlfriend, isn’t it?”     

Han Cihui shook his head reflexively. “No! No! I don’t have a girlfriend!”     

The girl smiled but said nothing. She kept her head down and wrapped the flowers.     

Han Cihui awkwardly dug his hands into his pants pockets. He was afraid she might misunderstand him, so he pretended to casually explain, “I want to give these flowers to my niece. She’s filming a movie right now. I’m going to visit her.”     

“Oh, right!” Han Cihui suddenly thought of something. He said proudly, “You didn’t believe me when I told you I was a director, did you? Let me tell you. I am really a director. Do you know Qin Yu? She’s my niece. She’s filming in Los Angeles right now, and if you don’t believe me, I can show you.”     

“I believe you.” The girl didn’t raise her head. She still had a bright smile on her face.     

“Really?” Han Cihui was surprised and didn’t believe her words at all.         

She was too calm. If an ordinary girl were stopped on the street and asked to play the female lead in a movie, the girl would be so happy that she would run ten streets.     

But the girl standing in front of him was so calm. As if this was a normal occurrence. This was the reason why Han Cihui didn’t believe her.     

“Yes.” The girl put the wrapped flowers beside Han Cihui. “When I came back that day, I saw a movie that happened to be directed by you. I thought it was a coincidence. Or… You were lying, but then I looked it up and after seeing your information and pictures, I’m pretty sure you weren’t lying to me.”     

Han Cihui’s eyes widened. “What a coincidence.”     

The girl nodded with a smile. “It’s such a coincidence.”     

Han Cihui was excited. He felt that he was one step closer to the girl. He gathered his courage and propped his hands on the table. He leaned forward and leaned his face closer to her. When he was only an inch away, he suddenly stopped. “So, what do you think about playing the female lead in my next movie?”
