CHAPTER 140: CHAPTER 135: THE FEMALE SUPPORTING CHARACTER OF SPIRITUAL SPRING SPACE

Because it’s just the start of summer vacation, there aren’t many people in the inn, except for Liu Wei and Ding Zijun, there are also two painters said to be out for inspiration and a writer seeking inspiration. After breakfast, all four of them left, and Ye Qiu began her flower planting renovation.

Of the original pink-white roses in the house, only one was kept, and the rest were dug up by Ye Fu and planted in a nearby hill. The roses in the town mostly came from there, so there was no worry about their survival. Besides roses, Ye Qiu also planned to plant more Chinese roses.

The first type, Ye Qiu planned to plant Gold Celebration, a Chinese rose originating from Europe, rated as the most fragrant United Kingdom rose. Initially, it has a gentle tea fragrance, turning into a strong fruity wine scent later, very unique! Besides, the Gold Celebration is also very easy to grow, and its flowers are very large, with a diameter of twelve centimeters. When it blooms, the pale yellow flowers are layered abundantly, continuously flourishing.

The second type is a variety bred by the flower shop Ye Qiu patronized, called Kong Meng. It is a lavish and disease-resistant purple-blue Chinese rose variety. Although the flowers are not particularly large, their color is truly beautiful. Since it was a large seedling when purchased and nourished with Spiritual Energy for months, it now blooms profusely in Ye Qiu’s space, just like its dreamy name suggests, Kong Meng.

Besides, Ye Qiu also transplanted varieties like Rouge Button, Dragon Sand Gem, Luoyi, and Swedish Queen from her space. Fortunately, the courtyard was big enough to accommodate their blooming.

Ye Qiu didn’t intentionally avoid Ye Fu and Madam Shen; these huge roses and Chinese roses, along with soil and moisture, were just placed in the courtyard. There was no sound of vehicles outside, but the couple acted as if they didn’t see them and didn’t ask Ye Qiu how these roses came about.

After transplanting, Ye Qiu merely trimmed the extra branches without touching the delicate flowers. Instantly, the whole courtyard was occupied by various roses and Chinese roses in shades of pink-white, tender yellow, purple-blue, and so forth, blooming competitively in beauty, truly a feast for the eyes. As she had watered them with Spiritual Spring Water, Ye Qiu wasn’t worried about sustaining the flowers.

"Our little courtyard is truly unique in town now." Madam Shen stood in the middle of the flowerbeds feeling completely refreshed and at ease.

"It’s worth the effort from the morning." Ye Fu chuckled, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "The fragrance of the flowers is strong, the flowers are big, and there are so many, quite nice indeed."

"You only know how to say these few words." Madam Shen teased him, and Ye Fu never retorts back to Madam Shen, just gently smiling at her, making Madam Shen’s smile deepen.

Ye Qiu stood beside her parents, feeling tranquil and content at the moment. Although her parents were not hugely wealthy, they lived comfortably and securely, and although life had no grand tales, it was safe and happy. If it wasn’t for Lian Lan in her previous life, their family would also be happy like now.

"Ye Family’s, did you just plant these flowers? They look really nice." Two middle-aged women walked past outside; they ran a craft shop and teahouse nearby and loved to chit-chat with Madam Shen when business was slow. Today, they stopped in their tracks in front of the Ye Family’s house.

"Yes, my daughter Ye Qiu brought them over from S city just now and planted them." Madam Shen chatted and laughed with them.

The two women had already noticed Ye Qiu standing aside, their eyes flashing with awe: "Your daughter Ye Qiu is really growing up to be more and more beautiful."

"Exactly, even making the flowers nearby pale in comparison," the two teased without any malice.

Listening, Madam Shen felt proud yet kept modestly replying: "Not as beautiful as you say, all young girls are the same, but do you want some flowers? Ye Qiu brought back some saplings too; if you nurture them for a couple of years, they can also look this pretty!"

"Really, then I won’t be polite."

"That yellow flower looks beautiful, I want that one."

"I want the pink one with white edges. Flowers from big cities are really different, blooming in layers upon layers."

Upon hearing Madame Shen’s words, the two of them instantly stopped paying attention to Ye Qiu, admiring how beautiful the flowers were and thinking that well-kept ones could even attract customers!

"Mom, I have two classmates coming over at the end of the month; please keep two rooms available for them,"

"Okay, okay." Hearing that Ye Qiu was willing to bring friends home, Madame Shen was extremely happy. Her daughter was perfect in every way, except she didn’t talk much, which is why she didn’t have many friends from childhood. She had always been worried about this, but now hearing such news, how could she not be pleased?

"It’s already the afternoon, aren’t you going upstairs to rest? Where are you going now?" Madame Shen called out as she watched Ye Qiu heading out.

"It’s Friday today, I’m going to pick up Zhouzhou from school."

Madame Shen smiled lightly upon hearing this. Her two children had always been close since they were young. Before junior high, they slept in the same bed and were always inseparably sweet to each other. To their parents, it almost felt like they were outsiders, but the siblings’ relation remained as strong as ever over the years, which comforted them as parents.

The only concern they now had was Zhouzhou’s health; they had moved to this town because of its good environment. Zhouzhou, who doctors once said wouldn’t live past ten years, had staggered along and reached eighteen. They could only hope that fate wouldn’t deprive their family of happiness!

The town wasn’t populous, and there was only one high school, which altogether had just over five hundred students in three grades. Despite its size, some wealthy individuals had come from their town and consistently supported their hometown, so the quality of education was quite decent.

The school had boarding facilities, but because the school was not far from home and considering Ye Zhou’s health, he would go home to sleep every day. However, to accommodate other students who lived farther away, the school would end two periods early every Friday. When Ye Qiu walked leisurely to the school while recalling the town and snacking on street food, it was just in time for the school bell to ring.

Today, Ye Qiu wore a white T-shirt with Capri pants and white shoes—simple and clean attire, but her unique temperament and stunning beauty made it seem like she wore a star’s outfit, standing by the school gate and catching eyes like a little moon.

Ye Zhou, because of his health, did everything leisurely and unhurriedly. Today, as usual, he walked at the very back of the crowd, and hearing the bustling noise from his classmates in front, his heart beat excitedly as if some good news was impending.

"Ye Zhou, your sister has come to pick you up," shouted a classmate loudly towards him.

Ye Qiu and Ye Zhou were well-known figures in the school, not only for their good looks but also for their top-tier academic performance. Since Ye Qiu often visited Ye Zhou’s class to see him, his classmates recognized her as well.

Hearing this news, Ye Zhou quickened his pace, originally wanting to run, but he remembered the gentle advisements his sister often gave him, and managed to restrain his eager heart.

As he emerged from the crowd and saw his sister by the street side holding cotton candy and smiling at him, Ye Zhou’s heart settled down immediately, and he couldn’t help but smile silently, his lips curving upwards.
