Looking at the lively crowd around, she dared not move, waiting in place.
Less than ten minutes later, Zhao Shuyao pressed her phone, and a little girl appeared before her eyes, "Sister, this flower is for you!"
The girl held a rose in her hand, stood on tiptoe, and handed it to Zhao Shuyao.
Zhao Shuyao was stunned for a moment, took it, and asked, "Who told you to give it to me..."
The girl didn't speak, smiled sweetly, and ran away.
Then another boy ran over, "Sister, this flower is for you."
He also held a rose in his hand, stuffed it into Zhao Shuyao's hand, and turned to run.
Zhao Shuyao was bewildered. Looking at the two roses in her arms, she was completely confused. Who was so romantic as to send her roses?
After being married to Qin Yusheng for three years, let alone roses, she hadn't even received a single leaf.
Looking at the roses in her arms, Zhao Shuyao's mood was very complicated.
More than a dozen children ran over one after another to give her roses, which also attracted the attention of passersby.
Before long, Zhao Shuyao could hardly hold all the roses.
She managed to take out her phone, intending to call Xiang Liang.
In the blink of an eye, the man stood still in front of her, also holding a rose.
"Do you like it?"
A gentle gaze, a warm voice.
Zhao Shuyao was dizzy, "How could it be you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xiang Liang took the roses from her arms, held them in one hand, and then took her hand.
He walked to the Bund.
It was very beautiful here at night, with dazzling neon lights, and the river reflected the bustling and enchanting scenery.
There were many tourists coming and going. Zhao Shuyao, led by Xiang Liang, came to the shore, with the Oriental Pearl Tower opposite.
"Look up..."
Xiang Liang's gentle voice fell. Zhao Shuyao looked up and saw the dark sky. Just as she was about to ask what it was, the dark night sky suddenly lit up, and hundreds of drones appeared.
The drones formed different shapes, transforming into patterns of roses, then hearts, and finally, several large characters: "Zhao Shuyao, be my girlfriend."
Seeing this scene, everyone around exclaimed and took out their phones to take pictures.
Zhao Shuyao held her breath, unable to believe her eyes.
"Do you like it?"
"No..." Zhao Shuyao flung Xiang Liang's hand away. "The situation is very complicated... I can't agree to you..."
Not to mention that she was already married, although in the process of divorce.
She had only known Xiang Liang for a few days.
If it was because she looked like the woman he liked, she couldn't agree to be with him.
Xiang Liang didn't like her, but the woman who looked exactly like her.
Zhao Shuyao decisively rejected Xiang Liang and turned to leave.
She walked very fast and was in a hurry.
But fortunately, the man did not chase after her.
Zhao Shuyao hailed a taxi back to the hotel.
On the way back, she received a WeChat message from Xiang Liang.
"It's okay, I will patiently wait until the day you accept me."
Zhao Shuyao deleted the chat box, bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then directly deleted Xiang Liang as a friend.
Back at the hotel, Zhao Shuyao took a shower. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but search for information about Xiang Liang...
Although there was information about Xiang Liang online, it was all basic personal introductions.
After all, he was the youngest attending physician in internal medicine in Haicheng, so it was normal for him to be famous.
Zhao Shuyao searched for gossip about Xiang Liang.
As expected, she found a post about Xiang Liang's dating experience in college.
Because Xiang Liang was too handsome, he was the campus hunk of Haicheng University during college and was very famous. Xiang Liang often appeared on the forum.
Even many years after graduation, when it came to appearance and campus hunk labels, Xiang Liang's name and photos still appeared.
Some people even encountered Xiang Liang at the hospital and secretly took photos of him, posting them on the forum, which would also cause many people to discuss.
Zhao Shuyao clicked on a post, which was full of gossip about Xiang Liang.
Zhao Shuyao clicked her tongue.
Xiang Liang was indeed a popular figure, so famous at Haicheng University.
Zhao Shuyao browsed through the posts, her heart filled with surprise.
Xiang Liang had a childhood sweetheart. They were both at Haicheng University. Because they were very close, everyone thought they were a couple, hailed as a perfect match, and incredibly well-suited.
Although both of them came from ordinary families, they were both very good-looking and academically excellent. They were also called the most compatible couple in Haicheng University's history.
But later, the girl suddenly got married. Her husband was a second-generation rich, wealthy, and powerful.
After graduation, the woman went abroad...
There was no more information after this point.
So, it turned out that the woman got married and went abroad.
Xiang Liang looked at her with such deep pain and remembrance; she almost thought the girl had died.
Such a well-matched couple could also be torn apart by reality.
No wonder Xiang Liang felt so regretful.
Now Xiang Liang had become the youngest attending physician in Haicheng. She didn't know how that girl was doing abroad.
Married to a rich second-generation, she should be living a prosperous life, but it was a pity for so many years of feelings.
Zhao Shuyao sighed slightly, feeling a sense of pity for Xiang Liang.
She felt a strange sympathy for him.
Hadn't she also experienced unrequited love like him?
The next day, when she went to work at the coffee shop, she found a bouquet of flowers on the counter.
The shop manager saw Zhao Shuyao arrive and gave her a look, "Here, take a look. Your boyfriend sent these flowers. They arrived at the shop early this morning and made all the girls in the shop extremely envious."
Zhao Shuyao looked at the bouquet of sunflowers in front of her, her mood complicated.
Working at the coffee shop was very easy, but there were quite a few male customers who asked for WeChat and contact information.
Because she was used to it, Zhao Shuyao used the same excuse to dismiss them.
As noon approached, Zhao Shuyao was grinding coffee when she saw a familiar figure walk in.
Because the man was very tall, Zhao Shuyao recognized him at a glance.
It was Xiang Liang.
"Don't you have work to do?" Zhao Shuyao stopped what she was doing.
"I missed you, so I came to see you." Xiang Liang ordered an iced Americano, found a seat by the window, sat down, and stared intently in Zhao Shuyao's direction.
With Xiang Liang's gaze on her, Zhao Shuyao felt uneasy all over.
She felt uncomfortable no matter what she did.
She got off work early, changed her clothes, and walked out.
"Let's go! Let's talk outside."
Xiang Liang raised his eyebrows and followed.
Standing outside the coffee shop, Zhao Shuyao finally spoke, "Aren't you a doctor? I thought you would be very busy."
"I took annual leave. I haven't rested for the past few years, so it's a good time to give myself some breathing room."
The man's tone was as gentle as ever, like flowing water, very pleasant to hear.
She thought that after last night's events, the man would retreat, but she didn't expect him to show up today. He was truly persistent.
Zhao Shuyao clenched her fists, coughed into her mouth, "Well, how similar is she to me?"
