No matter what happens, nothing can stop the relentless flow of time. Shaolan will eventually be forgotten by everyone, and those photos are like a clown's antics, ultimately just a publicity stunt.
Therefore, the Shaolan incident did not affect Li Gu's real life. Although he would occasionally be teased by his friends for the title of "Shaolan's ex-boyfriend," the incident simply passed.
Watching life return to calmness, Autumn Wind silently prayed that time would take everything away quietly and that nothing else would happen.
Two weeks later, Christmas arrived.
The admiration of Jinan residents for Christmas far exceeded Autumn Wind's expectations. The once-busy Copy Shop had very few customers, while countless men and women holding Christmas fruits and flowers passed by the store entrance, looking blissfully envious.
Autumn Wind opened the computer and learned from social media that Qiu Ruolan was having her Christmas dinner tonight with a handsome guy, while Qiu Feng was busy and anxiously waiting for Xiao Yuan to return from Southern.
Everyone seemed to place great importance on this holiday introduced from the West, expressing their feelings and waiting for the arrival of a romantic atmosphere.
Just after dark, Li Gu went out to deliver something. When he returned, he was holding a bouquet of flowers. Seeing Autumn Wind lost in thought in front of the computer, he placed the flowers in front of her: "Let's close early today and celebrate!"
It was a bouquet combining yellow carnations and red roses. Autumn Wind stared at it for a moment, wondering how to interpret the meanings of these two flowers together.
Shrugging her shoulders, she picked up the bouquet. A wave of bitterness surged within her as she smiled at Li Gu: "Thank you! The flowers are beautiful!" Then Li Gu shut down the computer, unplugged it, and took Autumn Wind out of the shop before turning around to pull down the rolling door. He patted his motorcycle, signaling for Autumn Wind to sit behind him. She was slightly taken aback but cautiously held onto the bouquet and gently sat on the back seat of Li Gu's motorcycle. This time, he still drove slowly.
Autumn Wind asked him: "Where are we going?"
He replied: "Of course to Spring City Square. It should be lively tonight!"
"Oh," Autumn Wind replied, then took a deep breath of the air resting on the bouquet. The fragrance of the flowers indeed made one lose their thoughts. Autumn Wind leaned close to Li Gu's ear and said again, "Thank you!"
He had no words, turning back to glance at Autumn Wind, his pupils slightly trembling.
The colors gradually darkened, and the distant car lights flickered, looking no different from the streets of Taipei. Autumn Wind remembered a scene like this; it was the night of her high school graduation when Leo had specially returned to celebrate with her. He had driven Autumn Wind at high speed down Zhongxiao East Road, making a ruckus.
In fact, the motorcycle truly belonged to Qiu Mowen, but he had only ridden it once. At that time, Qiu Mowen's girlfriend was in Taichung, and to see her, he decided to ride there. He squinted and asked Autumn Wind, "Kiddo, if you weren't going to class today, I would really want to take you with me to Taichung to see my girlfriend!" "Girlfriend?" When Qiu Mowen said this, Autumn Wind was just putting on her school uniform and walking to the door with her backpack. Hearing Qiu Mowen's words, she stopped in shock. "You have a girlfriend?" Qiu Mowen shrugged without answering and picked up the motorcycle keys and helmet as he walked toward the door.
"Wait for me, I want to go too!" Autumn Wind immediately dashed back to her room, threw down her handbag, changed out of her skirt, hurriedly left a note for Grandma, and jumped onto Qiu Mowen's motorcycle. Rather than being curious, she was extremely angry because of Qiu Mowen's suddenly appearing girlfriend.
In fact, Autumn Wind quickly regretted it; Taichung was not as close as she had imagined. They stopped for gas four times before barely arriving. Once they got off the bike, Autumn Wind's first feeling was that her backside felt flattened.
Qiu Mowen even parked the bike right in front of a flower shop to buy a bouquet for that girl. He held the bright red flowers nervously as he walked towards the girl's house. So Autumn Wind and he stood under that girl's building with their own hidden motives waiting for her. But reality is always cruel; like in all idol movies, girls never come down alone. As soon as the girl appeared, the flowers in Qiu Mowen's hands fell to the ground. After that, Qiu Mowen said nothing and pulled Autumn Wind towards where they had parked the motorcycle. After walking a few steps, Autumn Wind stopped; she ran back to the fallen bouquet and jumped high, stomping hard on it.
In short, that day Qiu Mowen experienced heartbreak.
Then they spent a long time riding back to Taipei on the motorcycle; by the time they got home, it was already dark.
Leo was anxiously waiting for them downstairs. "Don't go up! Grandma is angry; she wants to break your legs..." Before he could finish his sentence, his eyes were drawn to Qiu Mowen's bike. "Oh, so cool!"
Every boy has a motorcycle dream; Leo's eyes widened in amazement. Qiu Mowen casually tossed him the keys and said, "It's yours!" before heading upstairs.
Thus, this bike naturally became Leo's tool for showing off, which also meant he became Autumn Wind's personal driver. Later on, when Leo went abroad, he left the bike with Yao Guanghao. Consequently, for a period of time whenever Autumn Wind saw news of Yao Guanghao riding a motorcycle with girls, she would be furious—bastard! That belongs to Qiu Mowen!
As soon as Autumn Wind thought of Leo, a sudden sense of panic arose within her. It had been a month since they last contacted each other, and Leo's social media status had not shown him online. Autumn Wind felt a bit guilty; if she were in his position and received an unexpected overseas call berating her, she certainly wouldn't take the initiative to reach out.
Autumn Wind thought that once she got home, she would definitely need to apologize to him properly.
Suddenly, Li Gu accelerated the car, causing Autumn Wind to be pressed against the flowers. The roses quickly bent under the pressure, with several of the top blooms ruthlessly crushed and falling to the ground.
After a few minutes of speeding down the road, Li Gu parked the car in front of a venue where loud music nearly deafened Autumn Wind. He hurriedly dashed inside without turning off the car key.
Behind him stood Autumn Wind, holding a bouquet and looking utterly bewildered.
