Chapter 1178: Divide These Flowers

Jiang Bilian on the side looked at her unpleasantly and said quietly, “Could it be a prank?”

“It’s possible.” Several trainees nodded one after another. After all, Xia Yingluo was just a poor student. Even though there had been many rumors about her having a sugar daddy recently, but even if they were rich and big, they still couldn’t bear to buy flowers from Starry Flower Shop.

The more they thought about it, the more the possibility of it being a prank was possible. Zhu Zhu covered her mouth and mocked. “Don’t tell me you offended too many people and they sent you a bomb?”

What, a bomb?!

Everyone around stepped back alertly.

Xia Yingluo simply ignored them. She reached out a white hand and gently poked it, then knew immediately—whatever it was, it was definitely not a dangerous item such as a bomb or a firearm. From an early age, she had followed her father and brother around the world, to the primitive jungle, to the battlefield at the line of fire, to the Golden Triangle Drug Dealing Base… Thus, she had acquired the ability to distinguish a dangerous item with just one poke.

She met Jin Ling’er’s worried eyes and smiled calmly. “It’s all right.”

Jin Ling’er signed a breath of relief, then she heard Zhu Zhu say, “Tsk, it really does look like it.”

Jin Ling’er glared at her. “Aren’t you just jealous of Yingluo?” She turned to Xia Yingluo again and said, “Yingluo, open it up and see what’s inside. Maybe Starry Flower Shop really sent you a flower, and it’s more expensive than that Nightingale Flower Shop, tsk.”

“You still think you can receive flowers from Starry Flower Shop? Hahaha, it’s really—” Zhu Zhu mocked, and before the word “funny” could come out from her mouth, she stopped, as though someone had choked her throat. She widened her eyes in surprise as she saw Xia Yingluo open the box little by little. There were three small glass balls neatly placed in the box. She didn’t know how they had been sealed, but the round crystal glass balls had absolutely no vestiges on it.

Inside each glass ball was a white, unknown flower.

The layers of petals were half-opened, stretching lightly under the refraction of the clear light. Its spotlessly white and exquisite vein lines were detailed, and just looking at it felt like countless years had passed, making people exclaim in amazement.

“It’s so beautiful…” someone exclaimed.

Nobody here doubted the origins of these flowers, they must belong to the Starry Florist without a doubt—there was no such unique and fascinating flowers in the world except there, and these white flowers in front of their eyes were even more beautiful and exquisite than the flowers in the mayor daughter’s wedding ceremony and Li Lei and Ye Xingling’s wedding.

Xia Yingluo stared at them and suddenly realized—

It turned out that the sender was him.

Wei Lingnan.

She remembered the afternoon before. In a secret little garden deep in the Training Camp, Wei Lingnan had put a white flower in her palm and said, “Taste it.” Wasn’t it the same type of flower?

But she didn’t know why he had sent these to her, could it be that he had really fallen in love with her?

Xia Yingluo laughed secretly, throwing away the absurd thoughts in her head.

Jin Ling’er came back to her senses. She glanced at Jiang Bilian and smiled proudly. “Who just said that it was a prank? Why don’t you guys try doing a prank with Starry Flower Shop? Hahaha! Some country bumpkins can only deserve flowers from Nightingale Flower Shop and can’t even touch the threshold of Starry Flower Shop? Unlike our Yingluo, she’s the real beauty fit for a famous flower!”

Jiang Bilian was so furious she clenched her fists together. “The two of you, don’t go too far.”

“How are we going too far?” Jin Ling’er laughed wildly. “Jiang Bilian, look at you. You’re not even as beautiful as our Yingluo, and even your fans are not as good as hers. They don’t have as good a taste, right, Yingluo?”

The other girl next to her usually had a good relationship with Xia Yingluo and Jin Ling’er, so she asked, “Who sent her this flower?”

Xia Yingluo was speculating Wei Lingnan’s intentions in her heart. Did he think she was easy to bully? He had taken her so overbearingly the first night, and had even kissed her forcefully the second day. Was he giving her a present after the punishments, so he had sent these flowers? If it was such a flower, it was really a shame… His efforts had been wasted. She was not such a casual girl, and she didn’t want to have anything to do with him anymore.

She pushed the glass ball away and said to Jin Ling’er, “Split it amongst yourselves.”

“Really?” Jin Ling’er cheered, and the other two girls who had a good relationship with her also cheered. They forgot about quarreling with Jiang Bilian and the others and happily split the flowers. The beautiful flowers attracted everyone’s attention. The other trainees around them either exclaimed in admiration or were jealous, all saying how Xia Yingluo was so lucky to get such beautiful flowers.

Only Jiang Bilian and her party lost their countenance and their expressions got even worse.

Zhu Zhu saw that a few girls with ordinary grades and faces below hers got the flowers and felt sour. “Isn’t it just a few flowers? What’s so great, who knows where they came from, are they clean?”

Her words were like a basin of cold water that extinguished the harmonious atmosphere.

A few onlookers exchanged glances and suddenly felt that Zhu Zhu made sense. According to Xia Yingluo’s poor status, she definitely could never afford such flowers, and she had never attended any commercial activities either, so it was impossible for her to have received it from fans like Jiang Bilian. The only other possible reason was that it was from one of her sugar daddies like in the rumors…

If that was the case, then these flowers were indeed dirty.

The two girls holding the flowers were now a little awkward. They were both girls and still had to uphold a reputation. At the moment, they held the crystal clear glass balls in their hands and didn’t know whether to put it down.

Jin Ling’er didn’t care so much, she clutched tightly onto the glass balls and glared at Zhu Zhu uncourteously. “You’re just putting on airs, but why is your tongue so filthy like that of a busybody? You are the dirty one!”

Zhu Zhu was also not polite to her and wanted to get back her pride. “Why, Xia Yingluo could do it but is afraid of being found out? That man came to school that day and we all saw that she was being raised by him, don’t deny it!”

“Bullshit!” Jin Ling’er defended her friend angrily.

Zhu Zhu smiled coldly. “I’m not speaking nonsense. Xia Yingluo, this cheap girl knows the truth!”

Xia Yingluo was already annoyed about Wei Lingnan’s affairs. At this moment, when she heard Zhu Zhu’s scolding, she exploded and slammed the table as she stood up. She pointed one long, white finger at her and said, “What are you saying? If you have the guts, say it again!”

Her anger was terrifying, and her pair of simmering eyes made their hearts shiver in fright. Zhu Zhu couldn’t help but take a step backward carefully, and then she said sternly, “So what if I say it again? Aren’t you just a shameless slut?”

As soon as her voice fell, she felt as if she was in a whirlpool.
