The hotel garden was no ordinary garden: it was located on the hotel rooftop, enclosed in a glass greenhouse
The garden was beautiful at night; visitors had only to lift their heads to see the twinkling stars up above, beyond the glass ceiling A wide variety of flowers bloo and healthy On the ground, artificial brookssound of water, digitally simulated
Mei Xiawen stood beneath the verdant leaves of a giant alocasia, his hands in his pockets His face, adorned with gold-rih school girls found irresistible
Ai Weinan no longer concealed her feelings for Mei Xiawen Her eyes shone with her love for hi her hands nervously as she looked up at Mei Xiawen Her voice was hoarser than usual, betraying her agitation “Xiawen, you walked into h school, and have stayed there ever since”
Mei Xiawen sighed softly, his beautiful eyebrows knitted together behind his gold-rilasses He did not want Ai Weinan to continue; he opened hisher to stop it
But Ai Weinan barged on She said, in a single breath: “…I know you’re in love with soirlfriend before this I was her best friend And because I was her best friend, I let it go I watched over the two of you, never saying a word about how I truly felt Every time you went out on a date with her, she would tell u to me Every time she wanted to break up with you, I was the one who persuaded her not to Yes, it was old-rilasses There was a crack in his usual calm and coirlfriend’s best friend, but he had not realized they were that close
His relationshi+p with his first girlfriend had not been s, but he had cherished every ht their relationshi+p troubles were private, a secret shared between hiht otherwise
She had blabbed all about it to soer bubbled up within Mei Xiawen His eyes darkened, and the lines on his face drew tight
Ai Weinan did not ed the subject: “…Xiawen, I’ you all this now because the two of you are no longer together If you were still with her today, I would never have breathed a single word of this – not even if I was about to drown in my love for you”
Mei Xiawen lowered his head He stared at the stretch of floor between him and Ai Weinan
He could see that Ai Weinan earing a pair of elegant, pointed high heels, made of black leather
“But look at the person you’re trying to date now Does your fahtly resentful “I don’t see why you chose her over o on with the rest of , since you refused to open your eyes and see howI’d waited for you But then you al Mountain, and that was a wake-up call for et this off my chest, I will never be happy for the rest offorward She grabbed hold of Mei Xiawen’s hand, and looked up at his lowered face expectantly “Xiawen, give me a chance Give yourself a chance to be happy Be withh as Ai Weinan clung to his hand After a rasp and said, in a low voice, “Weinan, I’ve always thought of you as a good friend How can you do this to h she had been slapped
He heart reeled with sorrow, disappointment and embarrassment, but only momentarily She clenched her fists and steeled herself She wasn’t backing down just yet
“Of course we’re good friends, but you know men and woht as she stared at Mei Xiawen “Unless you’re gay”
Mei Xiawen hesitated for a longit was better to be honest “But I think of you as a good friend I’ I don’t see you as either a man or a woman”
This went beyond a slap in the face: it was a flying kick to the chest, deflating all the courage Ai Weinan had gathered over the past teeks
She stuck her chest out and shouted at Mei Xiawen: “I am a woman! A woman! Do you see it now?!”
