"Little Shen, that Xiaogao doesn't have any designs on you, does he?"
After finishing their card game and walking together, Shen Baolan's card buddies jokingly teased her as they strolled.
Shen Baolan spat back at them, "Get lost with that nonsense, quit spreading rumors and tarnishing my reputation."
Her friends teased her, winking and nudging, "Everyone else gets pink roses, but you get red roses. Do you know what it means when a man gives a woman red roses?"
"Isn't it just a flower? What else could it be?"
"That's where you're clueless. Red roses symbolize love. When a man gives a woman red roses, it's a way of expressing his liking and admiration! Don't believe me? Go ask at a flower shop?"
"I'm not going to bother asking about such nonsense!"
She said that, but after parting ways with her card buddies, she turned her head and headed to the nearby flower shop.
