Chapter 115 Deserted Garden (Part Two) (1/2)

What did they talk there?

It was hard for Ashley to imagine that they would never be able to speak in a low voice in such a noisy place.

Jasper led her through the crowd and went to a corner. Ashley found a narrow passage hidden there. The corridor was narrow. Only one person was allowed to pass it each time.

Jasper walked in familiarly, and Ashley followed behind, ”Is the food here delicious? Although it was a cramped place but it is so popular.”

”Well, the food is alright. A very popular restaurant with a respected predecessor is in charge of it. We usually come here to support him when we are free.”

After passing about 30 meters in the aisle, their vision was broadened instantly. What they saw was a square building, surrounded by an end-to-end corridor. When they got out of the aisle, they stood in the corridor. There was a room in the outer side of the corridor, and a large pond in the middle. The bright moonlight shone on the pond and the corridor, making people feel like they were in a dream.

With the moonlight, it seemed that water was running in the hallway. Ashley was surprised and asked, ”Is the whole building built on the water?”

She dreamt that she went to the back garden again, and met Carl there. They fell in love with each other with under the witness of the God of flowers. However, it was just a dream, full of love and affection, which was like the shade in the lotus pond. She woke up when her mother called her, and everything was gone.

As she stopped, Jasper also stopped. Following her gaze, he saw a withered leaf on the pond. The moon's shadows in the sky reflected in the water, making people feel calm and happy.

”What are you thinking about? Why do you stop?”

Ashley came back to her sense. Recently, she had been thinking too much and afraid of losing. ”... Nothing. I just thought of a play.”

”Deserted Garden?”

Ashley looked back in surprise and asked, ”How do you know?”

”When I brought Flora here for the first time to have dinner with the producer, and she also said that it reminded her of ”Deserted Garden”.

Flora? Why did Flora think of this play also? She remembered what Jasper had told her. 'Flora is a promiscuous person. She often changes her boyfriend.' Why did she think of ”Des
