”Is this an orchid?” The middle-aged man pointed to the orchids on the balcony that Zhang Le had just fiddled with and asked.
”Do you think it looks like anything else?” Zhang Le asked indifferently.
”It really is an orchid. Oh my god! Little brother, wait for me. I'll go look for you right now!” The middle-aged man ignored Zhang Le's tone and spoke excitedly.
Looking at the middle-aged man's disappearing figure from the balcony, Zhang Le muttered to himself, ”You're still the boss, you haven't even seen an orchid, do you have to go?”
Zhang Le did not take the middle aged man to heart, but that did not mean that the other party was not anxious. Not long after Zhang Le returned to his room, the doorbell rang.
”Hey, why is it you?” The door opened as Zhang Le looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and asked in shock.
”Hehe, sorry to bother you, little brother. I just want to see those orchids you keep!” The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said in embarrassment.
”Oh, come in!” Although Zhang Le did not have any good feelings towards the middle-aged man, but since he had already reached the door, he could not just not let him in.
With Zhang Le's permission, the middle aged man became especially excited, he leapt in front of Zhang Le and ran towards the balcony.
”Isn't it just some orchids? Is there really a need to do this? It's not like they're beauties, they're so impatient!” Muttering, Zhang Le followed the middle-aged man.
”You …” When he walked to the balcony, Zhang Le saw the middle-aged man leaning forward as he stared unblinkingly at the orchid in front of him. The expression on his face was sometimes pleasantly surprised, sometimes angry, sometimes gentle. It was as if these orchids were all beautiful and charming women.
Seeing the expression on the middle-aged man's face, Zhang Le was slightly afraid and wanted to call the mental hospital to pull the middle-aged man away.
”Uhm, are you alright?” Zhang Le knocked on the door and asked.
”AHH!” Nothing … ”I'm fine!” After being called out by Zhang Le, the middle-aged man finally regained his senses and said absentmindedly.
Seeing this middle-aged man, Zhang Le secretly curled his lips. How could it be that he was fine, it was as if he had broken up with his first love.
”Sit down!” Seeing the middle-aged man walk out from the balcony, Zhang Le pointed at the sofa and said. There's only plain water in the house, don't mind it! ” Zhang Le poured a cup of cold water for the middle aged man and sat back on the sofa to look at him.
