Chapter 266: Chapter 266 He Teng Promotion 2_1

Zhou Hongjin quickly shook his head, where would he take it back? Who could he give it to after taking it back? He never expected that the rare girl he had grown to like was already married.

With a sigh, Zhou Hongjin forced a smile, "I really envy the man who married you. He must have done some great deeds in his past life to have such fortune." The jealousy in his voice was all too evident.

Heartbroken even before experiencing love, Zhou Hongjin had no choice but to sigh with regret. If Zhilan was just in a relationship, he might have tried his best to win her over. However, she was legally married, and if he tried to snatch someone else’s wife, it would be inherently immoral. Zhou Hongjin knew he couldn’t stoop so low.

But looking at the girl in front of him, Zhou Hongjin’s heart ached as if it was being gouged out. Such a good girl, but she was not his to have.

Ever since he fell for He Zhilan, she had been in Zhou Hongjin’s dreams every night. He spared no effort in preparing for his confession and offered countless benefits to his friends. From the second he had this idea, he was in a state of high excitement.

But the reality was like a bucket of ice-cold water poured over him, leaving him freezing in the chilly autumn wind.

He Zhilan stirred up quite a commotion in the dormitory when she returned with a bouquet of roses. Jiang Biyun and Chen Xiting wouldn’t let go of the flowers and were howling like dogs in sheer excitement.

"Such vibrant roses! He Zhilan, you’ve hit the jackpot! Such a large jackpot!" Chen Xiting had naturally guessed who sent them, "It’s unbelievable. Who would have thought that Zhou has such a romantic side!"

"This just goes to show, we only know people by their looks, not their hearts!" Jiang Biyun added.

"Pfft!" Huang Cai joined the conversation, "Jiang Biyun, it feels like you’re using the wrong adjective! But these flowers are indeed beautiful. Look, there’s still dew on them!"

Wang Bingbing nodded repeatedly, "So this is what a rose looks like? It’s really pretty! I’ve only heard about this flower in stories, we didn’t have them for sale in the village, so I’ve never seen one before!"

Eighteen years is such a delightful age. Initially Zhilan’s dorm room was divided into two groups of three, but everyone helped Zhilan find pictures at lunch, and soon Huang Cai and Wang Bingbing became friendly with Zhilan’s group. Now, seeing Zhilan receive the flowers, the two girls eagerly joined in the conversation.

"This is my first time seeing one too." He Zhilan smiled, with no intention of mocking Wang Bingbing. This was indeed her first time seeing a rose in this lifetime. Her ex-lover was a player who frequently used this approach, but now, the mere thought of him filled her with revulsion.

"You hicks!" Gu En, who had been lying on her bed, suddenly spoke up, "It’s just a bouquet of flowers, what’s the big deal? I have a whole pile of them growing in my family’s flower room!"

Gu En got up from the bed and looked at He Zhilan, "It seems you really like these flowers, right? I’ll tell you, you should thank Lin Deng and me! We were the ones who gave Zhou Hongjin the idea. Otherwise, with Zhou Hongjin’s personality, you’d have to wait a hundred years for him to think about giving you flowers!"

"That explains it." He Zhilan understood now how Zhou Hongjin would think of giving her flowers as a confession. Turns out Lin Deng and Gu En played a part. Knowing this now, she didn’t find it strange at all. She’s known for a while that Lin Deng and Gu En are quite the plot schemers.
