"If it were someone else asking, I would definitely say it's impossible, but since it's you, Master Xiaobei asking, I think you can cultivate them. But to be honest, cultivating truly good roses is extremely difficult! So, Master Xiaobei, if you're just planning to give them as a gift, I'd recommend you go to the store and buy the finished product instead. That would be much easier!"

Upon hearing her explanation, Hu Xiaobei became curious...

"Can you tell me what exactly makes cultivating roses so difficult?"

She glanced at Hu Xiaobei, her lips curved into a slight smirk.

Soon, she spoke softly, "Master Xiaobei, you've never dabbled in flower cultivation before, right?"

"Right! I haven't been involved in that before!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's frank admission, she laughed and said, "Well, that explains it!"

Seeing her 'I knew it' expression, Hu Xiaobei once again broke the silence, "Does that mean cultivating flowers is much more difficult than cultivating vegetables and fruits?"

Before, Hu Xiaobei had never explored flower cultivation knowledge...

But Hu Xiaobei felt that if you understand one, you understand all...

He believed that if he knew how to plant vegetables and fruits, he should also be able to plant flowers.

"If you really want to compare, the difficulty isn't that much greater! But the cycle for cultivating flowers is longer, and most importantly, the process is relatively more troublesome."

After saying this, she noticed Hu Xiaobei's still puzzled face and started explaining to him in detail...

After listening to her thorough explanation, Hu Xiaobei realized that cultivating flowers was indeed not simple!

It turns out that flower planting is divided into two parts.

The first part is breeding, which means selecting the most suitable seeds for cultivation!

During the breeding period, the seeds have to be selected over and over again, until the most suitable ones can be cultivated...

The second step is pest control...

Newly cultivated seeds are very susceptible to pests, so once the seeds have been cultivated, measures must be taken to improve their disease resistance; otherwise, they might entirely fail to sprout...

"The layman is truly beyond learning! This phrase is so true!"

After listening to her story, Hu Xiaobei couldn't help but reflect aloud!

At the same time, Hu Xiaobei heard her continue speaking...

"Master Xiaobei, if you buy seeds from me now, you will need to cultivate them at least three times before you can select some decent seeds to plant, and then, you will have to manage pest control."

"Put simply, if you want to cultivate roses that are worth looking at, it will take a long time, so if you just want to keep them for fun, or just to give away, then it would be more economical to buy them from a flower shop."

"Thank you for your advice. But I have made up my mind, I plan to cultivate and plant the seeds myself. So, please help me select some seeds!"

"Oh, if that's the case, then I can help you choose. Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet; my name is Ding Linna, and I'm the owner of this shop!"

While speaking, the woman with a stunning figure lazily extended her fair and delicate hand!

Hu Xiaobei smiled and gently grasped it!

"So soft!"

Secretly admiring, Hu Xiaobei introduced himself, "Hello, my name is Hu Xiaobei!"

"Master Xiaobei, I've heard a lot about you before. I thought you would be someone cold and unapproachable, but now it seems that's not the case, you're quite approachable!"

"Not bad, I guess!"

With a sweet smile, Ding Linna spoke again, "In a bit, let's exchange contact information. If you have any questions about cultivating flowers in the future, you can always ask me!"

"Sure!"

Hu Xiaobei readily agreed!

Afterward, Hu Xiaobei exchanged contact information with her.

Just then, Hu Xiaobei's phone rang!

"It's my little sister Jiayuan; looks like she's had enough fun on the pedestrian street!"

Muttering to himself, Hu Xiaobei apologized with a smile...

He quickly stepped back and answered the call.

"Little sister Jiayuan, tired from shopping? I..."

Before he could finish, Han Jiayuan's anxious voice interrupted him.

"Brother Xiaobei, hurry over to the Gorgeous Mall on Youth Road; I'm on the third floor with Sister Fang!"

Hearing her urgent voice, Hu Xiaobei's expression turned serious, "What happened?"

"Some people want to grab me and Sister Fang!"

"Who is it?"

"It's a schoolmate of mine; his name is Qian Xiaofeng."

"Explain what's going on!"

"Well, Sister Fang and I were shopping when we ran into Qian Xiaofeng. He sent someone to forcibly take Sister Fang and me back. We disagreed and ran to hide here in the mall!"

"Qian Xiaofeng, I understand! You and Xiaoxiao hide well; I'll be right there!"

Hu Xiaobei swiftly ended the call and said, "Sorry, Sister Ding, I'll have to leave the seeds with you for a while; I've got a situation to handle!"

Seeing Hu Xiaobei's solemn face, Ding Linna asked, "Master Xiaobei, do you need me to go with you?"

"No need, it's just a little matter!"

While speaking, Hu Xiaobei briefly explained the situation.

After hearing the details, Ding Linna said, "Master Xiaobei, it's good that you told me! The road to Gorgeous Mall is under construction; it will be very inconvenient if you drive there since you'll have to take a long detour."

"Construction? Is there another way to get there?"

"There's a shortcut, but you're probably not familiar with it. I'll take you there on an electric bike!"

"Well... then thank you, Sister Ding!"

Hu Xiaobei didn't want to trouble Ding Linna, but now he had no choice!

"If you call me Sister Ding, then there's no trouble at all! It's just a small matter!"

As she said this, she quickly grabbed her car keys.

Soon, she moved the electric scooter that was parked on one side out!

Seeing her directly sit on the scooter, Hu Xiaobei pointed at the store, "Sister Ding, don't you need to close the shop?"

"There's no need, I'll have someone else watch it for me! Now hop on, we're setting off!"

"Okay!"

Agreeing to it, Hu Xiaobei briskly sat down!

Having just gotten comfortable, Hu Xiaobei's mouth twitched slightly...

Beside him, Hu Xiaobei had felt that the space on the electric scooter wasn't small.

But once he actually sat down, he realized how pitifully small it was.

Now that he was seated, his body was pressed tightly against the riding Ding Linna...

"This..."

Feeling Hu Xiaobei press up against her, Ding Linna was also somewhat stunned!

Previously, she had never used this scooter to carry anybody, so she hadn't realized it would be this cramped...

"Forget it. In for a penny, in for a pound!"

Thinking this, she spoke up, "Master Xiaobei, are you seated well? We're heading out!"

"Good!"

As Hu Xiaobei and Ding Linna set off, at the third floor of Gorgeous Mall, a few people were gathered at the elevator entrance!

Qian Xiaofeng with a gloomy expression cursed at his subordinates, "Useless, you are all useless! So many of you, and you can't even catch two girls! What are you even good for? Useless!"

Being scolded by Qian Xiaofeng in such a manner, they all felt very awkward.

But they couldn't say anything in their defense, because they knew that, indeed, it was their fault that Fang Xiaoxiao and Han Jiayan had escaped!

Seeing them stand there with their heads low like wooden blocks, Qian Xiaofeng stomped his feet in a rage, "What are you waiting for? Go find them now! If they get away, your lives are on the line!"

"Yes! We're on it!"

After agreeing, they quickly scattered to search!

Watching his subordinates run off, Qian Xiaofeng's face was full of irritation!

For several generations, Qian Xiaofeng's family had been delinquents.

He was no exception.

Although he was still a student, he was not focused on studying!

Previously, at school, he had taken a liking to Han Jiayan and wanted her to be his girlfriend!

But Han Jiayan had rejected him!

This infuriated Qian Xiaofeng!

He wanted to make Han Jiayan pay for her rejection, but he didn't dare!

Because he knew that Han Jiayan knew Hu Xiaobei and their relationship was quite good...

Qian Xiaofeng was aware that his father did have some reputation in the Dark World.

But even so, offending Hu Xiaobei would still be disastrous!

He was well aware of this, so although he had really wanted to make Han Jiayan pay, he had been holding back all this time!

Today, as he was shopping with a few underlings, he happened to see Han Jiayan and Fang Xiaoxiao shopping here!

Seeing the two beauties, Qian Xiaofeng was tempted...

After the thought crossed his mind, he wanted his men to secretly kidnap them.

In his mind, kidnapping them would be stealthy and unnoticeable.

That way, even if Hu Xiaobei wanted to trouble him, he wouldn't be able to!

Realizing this, he had earlier directly issued the order to capture them...

But he didn't expect his useless men to fail!

Over a dozen of them couldn't manage to catch two girls and even let them get away!

Thinking about it, he felt furious...

...

"Motherfucker, they are really useless! Now that we've exposed our intentions, we must catch them!"

Thinking so, he took a deep breath, feeling low, and began to search as well...

At this moment, Han Jiayan and Fang Xiaoxiao were hiding in a dressing room in a lingerie shop...

Glancing at Fang Xiaoxiao, who had been dragged into this mess because of her and had to hide with her, Han Jiayan whispered apologetically, "Sister, it's my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to hide like this in such an embarrassing manner!"

Hearing Han Xueyao's apologetic tone, Fang Xiaoxiao smiled, "What are you talking about? Since you call me sister, I should stand by your side! So, no more apologies from now on, or sister will get mad!"

As she said this, Fang Xiaoxiao stretched out a hand and touched Han Jiayan's cheek!

Han Jiayan felt the concern and smiled sweetly, "Sister, you are so nice!"

After saying that, she thought of Hu Xiaobei who would be arriving soon, "Sister, we just need to hide a little longer, Xiaobei will be here soon!"

"Okay! I..."

Fang Xiaoxiao was about to say something but suddenly fell silent, because at that moment, she heard voices outside...
