I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 134 - 134: 134: King of Flowers

A ten-meter walk ahead, Bai Youwei saw lotus flowers nestled amidst the florae. With petals as white as snow and gold stamens, clusters of them gracefully stood among the lush, spreading an air of elegance and allure.

Bai Youwei tugged at Shen Mo’s clothes, asking him to help her stand up. She wanted to pick lotus flowers.

“Did you choose so quickly?” The nearby Wu Lili asked in surprise, “there are still so many flowers up ahead.”

“I just like this one.” Bai Youwei leaned against Shen MO and rose, holding onto her crutch. Then she used another crutch to hook the lotus flowers in the thickets.

She brought them closer, grabbing their thick, sturdy, dark green stems, covered in tiny thorns.

She thought it would take some effort, but to her surprise, it snapped off easily, and the white lotus fell into Bai Youwei’s hands.

Everyone else looked at her in disbelief, they couldn’t understand why someone would pick flowers so quickly. Is she not going to consider it? There are still so many beautiful flowers up ahead!

The next second, Bai Youwei reached out again!

“You can only pick once!” Someone couldn’t help but remind her.

This time it was not Zhang Qi, but a plump auntie. The way she looked at Bai Youwei only fell short of writing the word “fool” on her face.

Bai Youwei ignored her, reached out and hooked a lotus seed from next to the lotus flower she had just picked, and deftly picked it.

Shen Mo: ‘

“Do you think we can eat the lotus seeds here?” Bai Youwei asked him, holding up the fresh lotus seed.

Shen MO was silent. Then he looked around, indeed, the others were all staring at them agape.

He looked down and saw Bai Youwei had already begun to peel the lotus seed.

Everyone else:

Bai Youwei was sitting in her wheelchair, prying out the tender, plump lotus seeds one by one, and putting them on her skirt. She then started to eat them one by one.

“It’s a bit bland, not as sweet as the ones you picked for me last time.” She peeled another one, completely oblivious to her surroundings, and handed it to Shen Mo’s mouth, “You try.”

Shen MO looked at her with pursed lips.

Everyone else probably thought this pair of siblings had some issues. They glanced at them with complex expressions and stopped paying them attention, each going off to find flowers.

After holding it out for a while, Shen MO didn’t take it. Bai Youwei, feeling the ache spread her arm, retracted her hand and ate the lotus seed herself, a bit upset.

Shen MO asked, “Aren’t you afraid of breaking the rules?”

“I picked lotus seeds, not flowers, there’s nothing to fear.” She dismissed it with a pout, “besides, aren’t there still puzzles?”

Shen MO shook his head, unable to deal with her, and continued on ahead.

Bai Youwei trailed behind in her wheelchair, speculating, “Which one are you thinking of picking?”

Shen Mo’s gaze lingered leisurely on the flowers along the path, saying casually, “There are 450,000 species of flowers in the world. Even by a rough estimate, there are five thousand. It’s quite unrealistic to find the ten most beautiful ones from so many, but…”

He bent down and picked a brightly pink flower from the thicket. Its layered petals resembled the skirt of a princess, luxurious and imposing, dripping with vivid color.

“Peonies have been regarded as the King of Flowers since ancient times. Not many flowers can compare to them. If you choose peonies, there’s likely to be a greater chance of winning.”

“Wow… Elder brother, that makes a lot of sense.” Bai Youwei looked at the flower in his hand, “But, it seems like you’ve picked a peony.” ‘ Shen MO raised his eyebrows at her, “Is it a peony?”

Bai Youwei: “Hmm, it’s a peony.”

Shen Mo: “Then what does a peony look like?”

Bai Youwei thought for a moment, “Actually, it’s pretty similar to this.” “Then that’s fine.” Shen MO pushed the wheelchair, “Let’s go, let’s go back..”
