Chapter 149 - Not For Sale (1/2)

*Flashback Continued*

When Ye Jun walked out of the restaurant, he noticed the orange-gold rays stretching out in the sky to paint it with the color of fire hearths and tangerine jellies. As the sun merged with the sky, it gave the illusion of a mighty warrior going to sleep by draping the blanket of darkness. The sky looked so serene and aesthetic that it was a sight to behold.

Ye Jun had to jog up to catch up with Fu Shuang and when he did, he saw Fu Shuang immersed in gazing at the back of that girl while walking behind her with a distance of 5 steps. The way Fu Shuang was looking at her made Ye Jun feel like he was etching every single movement of that girl in his mind. And that was exactly what Fu Shuang was doing.

The girl was wandering around aimlessly. The sun had set completely as the moon came up to lighten up the dark night. The crescent moon hung in the sky while cascading its white-silvery glow bathing the dark night, illuminating it.

The girl wrapped a chiffon scarf around her neck and half of her face hid under it. She walked further ahead and halted in front of a flower stall. The fresh flowers were spreading their mesmerizing fragrance in the beautiful night. She picked up a single red tulip in her hand to look at it.

"Mademoiselle, voulez-vous l'achether? (Miss, would you like to buy it?)" The shop keeper asked with a smile in French.

"Non. (No)" Both Fu Shuang and Ye Jun heard that sweet soft voice of the girl replying in French and walking away with a faint smile. Ye Jun only managed to see the clear black eyes that seemed to be darker than the dark night itself. But he could tell that she must be gorgeous from the way she spoke.

When the girl left the flower stall, Fu Shuang ran up to it and asked for a bouquet of red tulips. Ye Jun was gaping at his friend who seemed to have lost his mind. "Master Shuang!" Ye Jun only called him 'Master Shuang' when he was mad at him. "What do you think you're doing?"

Fu Shuang gave him a perplexed look. "I'm buying flowers." He replied matter of factly making Ye Jun roll his eyes.

"Red Tulips represent Eternal Love. Are you seriously gonna give this to the girl, you just met? Oh, no! Not met. Just saw." Fu Shuang nodded his head like a chicken pecking at the grains and Ye Jun hit the back of his head. "Have you lost your mind?"

Ye Jun's glare did little to nothing. Fu Shuang smiled like a lovestruck teenager and replied, "I don't know about the mind. But I surely lost my heart." Ye Jun groaned but he still had to follow Fu Shuang.

The girl entered the hotel and both of them followed after her. When Fu Shuang finally found her room, he placed the bouquet in front of the door on the ground. He took out a note, wrote something on it and placed it with the bouquet. Then, he knocked on the door and like a little kid hid behind a corner.

The room door opened after a minute and the girl walked out to look. She looked around but there was no one then her eyes fell at the bouquet of red tulips. She bent a little and picked the flowers up from the floor. Her eyes caught sight of the note and she opened it to read:

'I was standing right there

But you didn't look my way

I saw a smile that made my world bright

But it vanished into the night

I heard a soft voice tickling me

And it captured my soul in its trance

I saw a pair of lonely eyes
