Chapter 356 Nonsensical Love Poems

“Sister Yunxi, you’ve got flowers again.”Little Moon and Little Star were employees of Y Cosmetics. Seeing Zhang Yunxi heading over, their faces immediately lit up with admiration.

They were slightly younger than Zhang Yunxi. They did not manage to get into university after high school but instead went to normal school. However, they were not well connected, therefore they never got to become a teacher, and finally settled on working for Y Cosmetics.

Although they were not considered the best in appearance, they were lively and still pleasing to the eyes over a longer period of time.

“Sister Yunxi had already received 16 bouquets of flowers and 38 confession cards. Meanwhile, Sister Miyako received 11 bouquets of flowers and 23 confession cards. Both of us only got four bouquets of flowers. The difference is just too vast!” Little Moon twiddled with her fingers dejectedly.

“Sister Yunxi, why don’t we sell these flowers? I’m sure they’re very expensive!” Little Star suggested with a greedy look on her face. “After selling them, we can enjoy a good meal!”

“Let’s just give these flowers to our returning customers. Get to work,” Zhang Yunxi replied with a smile, after which she looked at Ye Lingchen hopelessly. “Ever since Y Cosmetic became popular on the internet, we’d receive flowers on regular days as well.”

“Boss, you have a delivery!” Outside, the sounds of a delivery guy could be heard once more.

“Hehe, you Chinese people are really lame!” Miyako chuckled condescendingly. Shreds of paper was littered in front of her; they were whatever was left from the confession cards she received earlier.

Ye Lingchen frowned. With her time spent just on receiving flowers, Zhang Yunxi would not be able to get anything done that day.

‘This won’t do. This is picking on my cosmetic store!’

He quickly went into the inner room of the cosmetic store. It served as the break room for Zhang Yunxi and the rest. He quickly took out a piece of paper and a pen.

Zhang Yunxi took a curious peek at him just to see Ye Lingchen’s pen move slowly on the paper. Each stroke was on point, as though they were printed from a printer.

“Crab is peeling my shell.

The notebook is writing on me.

The sky filled with me lands on the maple leaf and snowflakes.

Yet you’re thinking of me.”

It was a simple message, yet Zhang Yunxi was frowning and could not process it fully.

However, when she read through it the second time, her expression showed that she just had an epiphany. She was stunned as tears flowed from her eyes.

After a brief moment of blanking out, she finally looked at Ye Lingchen in astonishment.

“Lingchen, you wrote this poem?”

“It’s just something simple. These animals copied a few poems from the internet and dared to challenge my cosmetic store. How can I tolerate that?” Ye Lingchen harrumphed, then passed the poem to Zhang Yunxi. “Stick this outside. Tell them that if they can’t beat this poem, then don’t bother sending anymore.”

“Pfft!”

Zhang Yunxi could not hold back her laughter. She rubbed the tears from the corner of her eyes and threw an amused look at Ye Lingchen. “Lingchen, you’re so cute. Are you sure you’re not being jealous?”

“I’m doing this to make sure my employees don’t get cheated. It’s to ensure my store can operate normally!” Ye Lingchen said with a straight face, as though he was on the side of justice.

Zhang Yunxi took the poem and placed it on the door of the cosmetic store. She also included Ye Lingchen’s earlier statement. In an instant, those queuing up in the store rushed over curiously.

“This is a poem? That’s so easy!”

“It feels a little like a love poem, but it just doesn’t flow right!”

“Competition? This poem doesn’t feel special at all. Is it that hard to surpass this poem?”

The crowd broke into their own debate. Quite a number of them even took out their phones in a hurry and uploaded this poem onto TikTok. At the same time, Zhang Yunxi had also uploaded this poem onto Y Cosmetics’ official Weibo account.

Y Cosmetics had over three million followers. Just as it was announced, it immediately attracted a large number of views.

[Hahaha, pretty boss lady finally ran out of patience? It must be annoying to have countless people send you flowers and confessions right?]

[Ahhh, I can only express my admiration for this. Speaking of which, when will the pretty boss lady conduct the lucky draw?]

[These people are really quite annoying. With the never-ending deliveries, it’s lowering the efficiency of the makeup process for our pretty boss lady. Please stop it already!]

[Who wrote this poem? To be frank, it’s quite nonsensical, isn’t it?]

[Is there some hidden meaning within? It doesn’t seem like it! How can this poem be used as a standard?]

[Earlier this morning, I heard someone claiming on Weibo that Y Cosmetics began selling flowers. Hahaha, pretty ladies are so popular.]

It was Singles’ Day. Countless internet celebrities would take this chance to bump up their popularity. However, when Ye Lingchen’s poem made an appearance, it immediately stole the limelight, cascading out of control!

It was not because the poem was good, but rather due to it being nonsensical!

Others would try to perfect their own poem to make it more touching or elegant. However, Y Cosmetics was on another level. This poem was just all over the place, making others speechless.

Such a trashy poem somehow piqued everyone’s interest. Countless netizens started to study and pick it apart.

How uncultured would a person need to be to produce a poem of such nonsensical quality!?

[Let’s just leave it be. This is obviously Y Cosmetics’ attempt to gain attention. It’s a meaningless ordeal.]

[Just looking at this poem makes me feel good about myself, like one of the cultured folks. Wahahaha…]

[It should be written by an elementary school kid. It’s so illogical.]

Little Moon and Little Star were also reading the poem repeatedly. Their faces lined with confusion. No matter how they read it, it did not flow well.

“Sister Yunxi, who wrote this poem? It feels so…lame,” Little Moon could not help but ask.

Those around them shifted their attention to Zhang Yunxi, waiting for her reply.

However, Zhang Yunxi merely gave them a faint smile. “This poem is very simple. Just read it a few more times and you’ll naturally understand. This is the most beautiful poem I’ve read in my entire life.”

Everyone was taken aback, unsure of why Zhang Yunxi thought so highly of it.

When Zhang Yunxi’s remarks were uploaded to the internet, it attracted even more attention. Nevertheless, they read it repeatedly and still could not figure it out.

Little Yu was a poem enthusiast. The elegance found in ancient poetry was her favorite, both beautiful and filled with sorrow, enrapturing her. Later on, due to her exceptional foundations in poetry, she was invited to take part in Poetry of China. A girl like her, equipped with literary knowledge carried an or ancient elegance, immediately attracted a huge following online.

It was Singles’ Day. Unsurprisingly, she was sharing a few poems about love with everyone. Furthermore, she explained the meanings within the poem and shared her appreciation of the affection and sorrows within. Love poems were naturally something a girl would fall for.

However, right then, someone tagged her to have her rate a poem. ‘New poem? Love poem?’
