Her flowers?
She had planted these flowers??
Surely he couldn't be that unlucky-going from a flower-plucking rogue to a flower-stealing thief, and getting caught red-handed?
At the sight of her, Xiao Yu felt terribly guilty.
But since he sensed no killing intent, he didn't run.
He thought he might as well let her beat him up to vent her anger.
However.
The girl stormed up to Xiao Yu and raised her hand, but in the end, she didn't slap him.
"Who are you? Why did you come here to ruin my hard work! Do you know how hard these flowers are to grow! Do you know how much effort I put into arranging them so neatly!"
So it was her compulsive need for order that had made her angry.
Scared me to death.
Then we're fine!
"Miss, I'm sorry. I didn't know these were your flowers. I was passing by and thought they looked pretty, so I picked some."
The gentle-looking, long-haired girl beside her, who seemed to be a maid, cried indignantly, "Picked some? Nonsense! These flowers can't be picked at all. They fall apart as soon as you pick them!"
"Wait a moment, Xiao Luo."
After hearing Xiao Yu's words, the woman who looked like a young lady from a wealthy family seemed a little less angry.
"Sir, how did you pick them? Could you demonstrate it again? If you can teach me... I won't hold this against you."
How am I supposed to teach her that?
Forget it. I'll just demonstrate.
After all, he was the one at fault.
Xiao Yu scratched his head, then... simply bent down and plucked a flower from the ground.
"See? Just like that."
"..."
"Uh!"
"Whoa! What the hell is going on?"
"Well..."
Not just the mistress and maid-everyone seemed dumbfounded.
