Chapter 314 A Failed Craft

The small town was also called Flower Town. Song Ni never imagined that Tan Zheng's afternoon arrangement would be to personally weave flower crowns for her with flowers, brew flower tea with flowers, and then personally grind coffee beans and brew coffee. This kind of entertainment seemed completely out of character for Tan Zheng, no, it was entirely incompatible. Song Ni recalled that when they first met, Tan Zheng had taken her to bars, shooting ranges, and for motorcycle rides. Now, it was such a stereotypically feminine activity. It was as if he had undergone a complete transformation, and Song Ni could faintly guess where Tan Zheng had gotten his inspiration. Although she preferred thrilling sports, she wasn't averse to quiet activities. As long as she was with the person she liked, she enjoyed such serene dates. Moreover, coming to such a small town and not doing some handmade activities would feel like leaving a regret. Song Ni even went upstairs to change her clothes, and asked Tan Zheng to change as well. Dressed in matching light blue couple outfits, they sat in the small courtyard in front of the house, looking as beautiful as a painting. Song Ni had never done anything like this before, but it didn't matter. The internet was very developed now; whatever you wanted to do, you just needed to search for it, and many tutorials would appear. She sat on a chair researching the process of brewing flower tea, while Tan Zheng sat on the swing chair, clumsily weaving a flower crown for Song Ni. For the ambiance, Song Ni also played some light music. Warm sun, fresh flowers, blue sky, white clouds, music, lover, small town… these elements combined to create romance. However, such a beautiful scene only lasted for a quarter of an hour. Neither of them was extremely patient with such activities. Without anyone to guide them, relying purely on their own exploration, this method too easily exhausted their enthusiasm. Thus, after a quarter of an hour, the scene turned into: Song Ni, defeated, simply threw the flowers into the water to let them boil, then sat beside Tan Zheng to watch him clumsily weave the flower crown. Unable to bear it any longer, Song Ni decided to help. She hadn't expected that she had dexterity when making clothes, but this dexterity seemed to be limited only to making clothes. Not only did she fail to help Tan Zheng in any way, but she also messed up what Tan Zheng had already managed to create, which was barely presentable. Song Ni: ... Tan Zheng: ... A profound silence. Only the sound of the wind and the bubbling of boiling water could be heard. Song Ni spoke first. "How about we just experience it? We don't need to aim for results." The furrow in Tan Zheng's brow hadn't completely smoothed out. He had thought he would have some aptitude for manual work, and weaving a flower crown shouldn't be a big problem. It seemed he had overestimated himself. This kind of failure was beyond Tan Zheng's expectations. He had never failed at anything he set his mind to since childhood, and failure simply didn't exist for him. Tan Zheng wanted to try again, taking the unformed flower crown from Song Ni's hand. "Let me try again." Song Ni simply let the flower tea continue to boil, picked up her camera, and began to record Tan Zheng weaving the flower crown for her. Half an hour later. Tan Zheng and Song Ni looked at the ruined flowers, which no longer resembled anything, in silence for a long time. Song Ni couldn't bear to see Tan Zheng wasting more flowers. "Why don't we go brew coffee? We should at least be able to do that, grinding coffee beans." Tan Zheng stared at the messy, indescribable thing in his hand, and finally gave up. The flower tea brewed very bitter. The flower crown had not been completed. The only remaining activity was brewing coffee. Both of them were secretly determined to perfectly complete this last task. Tan Zheng was responsible for grinding the coffee beans, and Song Ni was responsible for brewing. They divided the labor. They both drank coffee quite often, so making it wasn't as unfamiliar. Another half hour passed, and after working the entire afternoon, they finally tasted the fruits of their labor. Song Ni took pictures of the coffee, the unwatchable flower tea, and the flower crown, and posted them on Weibo. The caption read: This afternoon I planned to do some fun things with him, I didn't expect we both overestimated ourselves, and in the end, only the coffee was successful. But it was still a very happy afternoon, him accompanying me to do these things was surprise enough. After editing, Song Ni sent it out regardless of the time in China. Song Ni posted the same content on WeChat Moments. To her surprise, Lu Haoting was the first to comment. Lu Haoting: Hahahahahahahahahaha! What is Brother Tan trying to do? How did he mess up the flowers like this? A minute later, likely prompted by Lu Haoting, more people came to watch. Lu Fang: My guess is, he was trying to make a flower crown? Tang Qinyun replied to Lu Fang: Are you sure that's a flower crown? It's just a bare ring, he couldn't even attach three flowers. Song's Father: Nini can actually brew flower tea now? Brew some for Dad when you get back! Song's Mother replied to Song's Father: Why don't you want to drink it when I usually brew it? Tan's Mother: I knew it, that's why this boy suddenly called me to ask about these things. It turns out he was with Nini doing it. This blockhead is finally not so awkward anymore. Song Jing replied to Song's Father: Dad, would you dare to drink this flower tea? Remember to have medicine ready. Tang Tang: When is Nini coming back? I'll teach you how to weave a flower crown. Song Ni's eyebrows twitched as she scrolled to this comment. She glanced up at Tan Zheng and quickly replied. Song Ni replied to Tang Tang: Sister-in-law, it's not that I want to learn, you can teach Tan Zheng. Chang Zi: Wuwuwuwu! I can't even work today! I want to go to the English small town too! Chi Xia: Wuwuwuwu! Sister Nini and Brother-in-law are so sweet, so sweet! Su Jingxi: Unbearable to look at! Zhou Jin: The flower tea brewed by Madam must be delicious! Su Qing: The coffee brewed by Madam must be delicious! Song Ni: ... This kind of life seemed a bit too quiet, but for the two who were usually busy, it was exceptionally relaxing. The short two-day holiday ended just like that. Tan Zheng had arranged for people to come and discuss buying a house. On the way back, Song Ni was still somewhat reluctant. When the plane landed and they got into the car to go home, Song Ni realized that they would have to return to their busy lives. But as soon as they got home, a call came in. Tan Zheng's expression immediately turned extremely grim. Sheng Jiang and Huan Yuan had an accident. They rushed to the hospital. Along the way, Tan Zheng drove extremely fast, and Song Ni pursed her lips, her face full of worry. Tan Zheng didn't explain what had happened, but judging by his expression, the matter must be very serious. Sheng Jiang and Huan Yuan were both the most promising newcomers in the club, and now they had both been in an accident. How could they not be worried? When they arrived at the hospital, Huan Yuan was sitting on a chair, with club management personnel beside him. The operating room light was on. Sheng Jiang was inside.
