Mia and the Blossoms of Change Chapter 7

Mia Jiang followed him out the door with a depressed look on her face.

When they got outside and Ethan Jiang closed the door, she couldn't help but ask.

"Are you looking down on me?"

The man turned around, looked at her and denied it.

"No."

Mia Jiang seemed to be talking to herself: "I think you are just looking down on me for not being able to grow flowers."

Ethan Jiang: ...

He repeated what he had just said.

"No." His voice was light and his tone was calm.

Maybe because he denied it twice in a row, Mia Jiang actually believed it. She felt relieved and asked, "Really? Really?"

Her eyes were very bright, as if many sparkling gems were shining inside.

Ethan Jiang squeezed out a little sound from his throat.

"Um."

He didn't despise her, but he did think it was impossible for her to grow flowers. However, looking at her bright eyes, he still went against his conscience and told a little lie to deceive her.

Ethan Jiang said this with no expression on her face, just like before. Mia Jiang couldn't see any signs of lying in her, so she believed it easily.

Feeling happy, she stopped dwelling on the issue and asked him, "What flowers are we going to buy later?"

"What flowers would you like to buy?"

The two of them entered the elevator together. There were not many people in the elevator except the two of them. With only the two of them, Ethan Jiang felt that the atmosphere was not that tense.

Mia Jiang actually hasn’t made up her mind yet, but she feels that if there are some flowers, the balcony at home will look more interesting, but she doesn’t know what kind of flowers to use.

She said, "Let's go take a look first, and buy if we like anything."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the man's expression. He was still the same as before, without any extra expression, and she didn't know if he had any opinion on what she said.

Soon, Mia Jiang found out that he had no objection.

"Can."

A person came into the elevator halfway. Mia Jiang could clearly feel that Ethan Jiang had become much more nervous. His facial expression quickly became much colder, giving off an aura that said "keep away from strangers".

The man also took a step back. Mia Jiang was stunned for a moment after accidentally seeing his reaction. After getting out of the elevator and seeing that there were no people around, she recalled everything that had happened before and suddenly had some guesses in her heart, so she asked, "Well, Ethan Jiang, you are not a social phobic, are you? When I saw someone in the elevator, you seemed to be quite nervous."

He was even so nervous that he had a cold face, so even though he had an extremely handsome face, people around him didn't dare to approach him easily.

Ethan Jiang was slightly stunned by Mia Jiang's words. Logically, he should tell her the truth honestly, but Ethan Jiang always felt that if he told others about his social phobia, people would probably laugh at him. At least his family would not be able to understand why a grown man like him would have social phobia.

Maybe it was because he wanted to save face, or maybe it was because of something else, anyway, he couldn't bring himself to admit his shortcomings, and denied it: "No, I just don't like too many strangers."

I hope she didn't see him swallowing nervously when he saw people.

Mia Jiang also learned about social phobia from the Internet. She didn't know much about this group, and she didn't think that social phobia was something worth denying, so she believed it to be true. Looking at the man's jade-white face, she looked suddenly enlightened.

"Oh, I see."

Then she didn't continue to talk about this issue, but said with a little annoyance: "Why do I feel that my clothes have become smaller? Have I gained weight?"

Girls who love beauty are always extremely sensitive about getting fat.

Ethan Jiang naturally knew the reason for all this, and he whispered an apology.

Of course Mia Jiang also knew that it was because of her pregnancy, and she felt confused and dissatisfied.

"Why do people want to get pregnant and have children? Not only will their body shape change, but there will also be various sequelae after giving birth."

Although she is pregnant now, the child is also the original owner and Ethan Jiang's. Because she inherited the mother's body, Mia Jiang has a little bit of feelings for her, but these feelings are not much, not enough for her to face the series of problems that she will encounter when giving birth.

As the one who caused her pregnancy, Ethan Jiang didn't dare to say a word in the face of her complaints. It was also because of this guilt that he had been able to endure Mia Jiang's various beatings and scoldings.

He was even a little worried. Would Mia Jiang, who was overly concerned about her own health, suddenly become her previous irritable and sharp self in the next second?

The result did not disappoint him. She just complained softly for a while and then changed the subject.

It’s just that the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

Ethan Jiang felt like there was something weighing on his heart.

We took Ethan Jiang's bus and soon arrived at the flower market.

There are many flowers in the flower market, including orchids, chrysanthemums of different colors, roses, phalaenopsis, azaleas, and many flowers that Mia Jiang herself cannot name.

Mia Jiang doesn't know much about whether flowers are valuable or not. Her only requirement when buying flowers is that they must look good.

Since she was not the one who would take care of Hua later, Mia Jiang thought about it and decided to ask Jiang Ze for his opinion.

"Which flower do you think is better?"

Ethan Jiang didn't like crowded places, so he chose this shop with few people. When he heard Mia Jiang's question, he glanced at the flowers on the ground and said, "You can buy whatever you want to grow."

Mia Jiang said shyly: "I think when growing flowers, of course you want to grow beautiful flowers."

Then she turned to the shop owner and asked, "Boss, which of these flowers is the easiest to grow?"

The boss was a very wealthy middle-aged woman with a bag slung across her waist. When she saw Mia Jiang asking, she smiled and said, "Flowers are easy to grow."

"If you are a beginner, you can try chrysanthemums and roses, which have many colors and look beautiful when displayed."

Mia Jiang pointed to a pot of red roses and asked, "What kind of flower is this?"

"Corolla."

She didn't quite understand the names of the rose varieties, but that didn't stop her from picking flowers. She looked at Ethan Jiang next to her and asked, "How about buying this one?"

"It's all fine." It doesn't matter whether he grows the plants in one pot or two pots. To him, there is not much difference.

When Mia Jiang first started choosing flowers, she was a little hesitant, but Jiang Ze said it was all right. Since he didn't stipulate what flowers she couldn't grow, Mia Jiang didn't hesitate. When she saw the flowers she liked, she wanted to buy them. After asking the boss, she turned around and asked him hypocritically: "How about this flower?"

And his answer was the same every time.

"Can."

So the two of them went shopping and bought more than ten pots of flowers.

After putting the flowers in the trunk, Mia Jiang happily sat in the passenger seat, tilting her head to look at him, unable to suppress the smile on her face.

"So we're going home now?"

Mia Jiang was very satisfied with her taste in choosing flowers, and she now eagerly wanted to put them on the balcony to admire them.

Ethan Jiang didn't plan to do that, and asked her, "Didn't you say the clothes are too small?"

Mia Jiang just made a small complaint and never thought that he would actually take it to heart.

"Yes, but I can go out and buy them myself in a few days. Not all of them are smaller, just some of them."

Ethan Jiang was not a talkative person, and he remained silent after asking this question. Mia Jiang had no idea what he meant. Just when she was wondering whether he was going to take her home or buy clothes, she saw his car driving towards the pedestrian street.

There were so many people on the pedestrian street. Mia Jiang remembered what he said before that he didn't like crowded places. She asked, "Can you? Or, you wait for me in the car and I will go buy it myself?"

Before she finished her question, he had already opened the car door, then walked around to the back, opened the car door, and said to her calmly, as if all this was a small matter: "Let's go."

"Oh, okay."

In that case, she went shopping for clothes.

Although she has been pregnant for a while, Mia Jiang still doesn't feel like she has gained weight. When buying clothes, she always subconsciously buys them according to her state when she was thin. It turns out that this body, both in height and shape, is similar to hers.

After picking out a few pieces, Mia Jiang realized that she needed to buy clothes that were one size larger or even bigger.

But the clothes in her hand were really nice, and there was no larger size available. Mia Jiang suddenly felt a little regretful when she thought about not being able to buy them. She sighed: Why do people gain weight when they are pregnant? There are many clothes that I want to buy but I can't. "

The salesperson next to me said enthusiastically, "If you buy it now, you can wear it even after you have a baby. You have a good taste. This style will not be out of fashion even if you wear it next year."

Ethan Jiang also said: "If you want to buy it, buy it. You can also keep it for future wear."

When Mia Jiang heard him say that, her heart immediately moved. Women's clothes don't have to be worn after purchase. The key is the process of buying them. She hesitated for a while, and confirmed that she really couldn't bear to put them away. So she stared at Ethan Jiang next to her and said to the shopping guide: "Then pack these clothes for me."

Then they changed several stores. Mia Jiang knew her own character and was a person who was easily attracted by new things. So she was very honest and did not continue to buy clothes that might not be suitable for her. In this way, she bought several sets of clothes that she usually wore when going out. Ethan Jiang saw that she did not buy pajamas, so he asked: "Do you want to buy pajamas?"

Mia Jiang doesn't go out most of the time, so it's natural that she's very comfortable wearing pajamas at home. But maybe because she's pregnant and has a bad memory, she forgot about it. She didn't expect him to be so thoughtful.

Mia Jiang nodded: "Buy a few sets."

Then I picked a few sets.

While she was choosing, Ethan Jiang was also watching. He found that Mia Jiang now liked cute things, while before, she seemed to like more S3xy things.

After buying pajamas, Mia Jiang looked back and found that everything he was holding was hers, and he had nothing of his own. Mia Jiang asked, "Well, Ethan Jiang, do you want to buy some clothes for yourself? You didn't buy anything, you only bought me."

Ethan Jiang didn't feel like he was lacking anything, so he refused without even thinking: "I don't have anything to buy."

Mia Jiang took a look at the black, white and gray clothes on him and offered some suggestions: "I think you should buy more clothes with brighter colors. Your clothes are too monotonous. It's really a waste of your good looks."

Ethan Jiang:...

In fact, Ethan Jiang never thought that his face was that good, but he usually attracted a lot of attention from the outside world, which made him vaguely aware that he had a face that was very popular with women, but he didn't like other people's eyes, so all this was a trouble to him.

Ethan Jiang actually wanted to reject Mia Jiang. He knew clearly that if he really bought the bright clothes she mentioned, it might attract more attention in the future. He didn't like it, but her eyes were so bright and full of expectation that Ethan Jiang couldn't bear to reject her.

He nodded for some unknown reason, but he soon regretted it.

When picking clothes for him, Mia Jiang seemed to be happier than buying clothes for herself. She picked out men's clothes of different designs, styles and colors for him to try on, as if she was dressing him up like a doll. When he stood there holding the clothes, hesitating whether to try them on, she came from behind him and used her soft hands to push him into the fitting room.

After trying more than ten sets, Ethan Jiang finally couldn't stand it anymore and refused: "Okay, that's enough."

Mia Jiang used to have a cousin who was seven or eight years younger than her. He had a good-looking face, but he was not very good at grooming himself. So she took him to a clothing store and gave him a makeover, successfully transforming him into a decent, clean and handsome guy.

Ethan Jiang's face is superior to that boy's, and she feels that it should not be wasted.

Seeing that she had dressed up the cold-looking Ethan Jiang into a sunny and handsome boy, Mia Jiang was very satisfied as if she was playing a makeup game, and said: "Ethan Jiang, you should buy more clothes with brighter colors, so that you will definitely get more attention."

Ethan Jiang saw the bright smile on her face and felt a little weird.

What’s the point of him wanting that damn rate of turning heads?

After buying the clothes, Mia Jiang returned home happily with a bunch of things, as if she had a great harvest.

After putting the clothes back in the room, she was not in a hurry to try them on, but went to the balcony to arrange the flowers. Seeing the flowers neatly arranged on the balcony, some of which were blooming brilliantly, she felt very happy.

I sighed: "It would be wonderful if I could put a lounge chair or a hanging basket on the balcony, so I could read a book and bask in the sun when I have free time."

Ethan Jiang glanced at the sky above his head. It was blue and white, and the sun had hardly been out recently.

Mia Jiang had a plan in mind, so she planned to do it when she had some free time. She would buy a hanging basket and a lounge chair online, and then she could lie on the balcony and read books.

After staring at the flowers on the balcony for a while, Mia Jiang returned to her room.

Ethan Jiang took a look at the general layout of the balcony, and after he had an idea of   what to do, he returned to his study.

The next afternoon, Mia Jiang went to take a nap after lunch. He slept until the evening. After smelling the fragrance of rice in the air, he put on his slippers and pajamas and came out with hazy eyes. As soon as he arrived in the living room, he was surprised to find that the balcony outside had changed a lot.

There is a pink lounge chair with a soft blanket on it. Next to it is a small white bookcase with teacups on top. On the other side of the balcony is a hanging basket.

It's a wonderful feeling to wake up and find that your dream has come true.

As expected, having a Mr. Snail at home greatly improves the comfort of life.

Mia Jiang went to the recliner to test the comfort level and found it quite comfortable. There were a few books on the bookcase next to her. She picked up a book and flipped through it. They were all famous Chinese and foreign novels. Mia Jiang had not read them much, but they were very interesting. She was fascinated by them after reading for a while. If Ethan Jiang hadn't come out of the kitchen and called her, she would have forgotten where she was.

Seeing him coming, Mia Jiang asked with some surprise, "When did you arrange these things? They are arranged quite well."

"While you are resting in your room."

"As long as you like it." This person had a dull expression when he spoke, and there was no sense of self-satisfaction, as if he was not the one who did this.

Mia Jiang looked at the calm expression on his face and suddenly realized that this man was missing something besides clothes.

She walked over, raised her hand, pulled up his face, and then forced a slightly twisted smile for him.

Said: "Ethan Jiang, I think you should smile more often, so as not to waste your face."

Ethan Jiang didn't understand what was a waste if he didn't like to laugh.

If he wasted this face just because he didn't like to smile, wouldn't he have lived in vain all these years?

But facing her bright smile, he couldn't say anything to refute.

Just said: "It's time to eat."

Mia Jiang was indeed hungry, so she quickly got up from her chair, skipped towards the restaurant, and asked as she walked.

"What delicious food did you make today?"

Ethan Jiang looked at his cheerful back and thought: Perhaps only she is as happy as she is now with the food he cooks.

There seemed to be the touch of him tossing his cheek on his face, which made Ethan Jiang feel itchy, and a special feeling flowed through his heart, as if something had gently passed by, leaving a trace of ripples...
